Fall in love with your enemy

The next time, after Lao Fu and I returned home, the whole family finished their meal peacefully.

But just as I was about to go back to my room to sleep, the driver from the lotus pond honked the horn at the door. I looked at the old man, and he was clearly avoiding me.

"Is anyone else making trouble?" I asked, but no one answered me. Chengcheng was also confused, and the others didn't want to.

"Go back early, Shishi. Dad will pick you up tomorrow morning. Let's go back to Jinhai and choose a house for Wang Jinglei to prepare for the Zhao family." The old man paused and said.

I understood that I guessed it right. If I didn't leave, it would influence the old man to take action. I still wanted to save him some trouble. I put on a coat and left with Chengcheng.

Gao Xinci has been living with me in the past few days. I don't know what is going on outside. I can only know from the few words Gao Xinci said when he called home: Some of the more extreme parents are still making trouble. Our family told us that they would not hurt anyone or smash things, but they would guard the door of other people's houses all night long, or they would suddenly break through the guards in crowded squares and rush out, kneeling before several families. Weeping at the feet, crying to the sky and the ground, crying for father and mother.

To put it simply, they do not follow martial ethics and try to use public opinion to force us to give benefits. They have not done anything to harm us, so calling the police is useless. At most, they criticize and educate us, and our only way is to be defensive.

I breathed a sigh of relief. Although this is not a good thing, it is much better than smashing the windows and kidnapping with knives. Besides, the Fu family has security sent by Jinhai, and the small courtyard has more than a hundred security guards sent by the Gao family to patrol the whole night. , we will also form a circle in the distance during the day, so we are safe.

To say that it was unlucky, it had to be the Han family.

Due to the gap caused by Wang Jinglei's public opinion, and the fact that although the Han family has a large business but a small background, security issues have always been to meet the standards. In such an emergency, there will inevitably be a shortage of people.

Gao Xinci contacted my family, the Zhao family, and the Hou family, and each of us assigned some trusted personnel to go over and barely guard the door.

We were too tired tonight and couldn't afford to bother, so Gao Xinci and I took an early rest. After we agreed early the next morning, Gao Xinci happily led others to follow our car.

We took a quick flight to Jinhai. Since it was not an important event, we didn't make much noise when we came back. Only the housekeeper and a few close relatives came to greet us.

Zhao Kanhai took Wang Jinglei, and the Yun family, Wei family, and Xiang family also sent people to witness, but most of them didn't look good.

Lao Fu only called last night, and Ke Ke spent a few hours choosing a good-looking empty courtyard - the teahouse where the Fu family entertains guests.

It is the first one after the gatehouse. When a knowledgeable person sees it, he can't stop laughing. This courtyard is not even inside the gate of the Fu family's house, but it makes sense. Wang Jinglei is the adopted daughter and there is no need to enter the gate.

The Zhao family started suddenly from Uncle Zhao's generation, and there was no time to think about these things. So after Zhao Kanhai got off the car, not only did he not say anything, but he thanked me with excitement. Wang Jinglei understood a little, but she had such a result. It’s time to be satisfied.

Wei Niannian and Yun Jiang came close to me. Yun Jiang was okay, Nian Nian had a straightforward personality, so they looked at her with disdain without any scruples, and said while looking at her: "Look at her, Zhao Kanhai is really a You idiot, how could you fall in love with such a person? He is dressed in luxury goods but also looks poor and sour. He is not as pleasing to the eye as he originally looked."

"The Zhao family has publicly apologized to Lulu. Moreover, Jinglei was very good in the past. This time she may have been impatient. From now on, we will still be in the same class and will not see each other when we look up. Let's not mention this matter." Yun Jiang said in peace, and also signaled that there were Zhao family members behind me.

I smiled bitterly and said nothing.

She doesn't care about that every year, but becomes more enthusiastic when she sees the Zhao family: "Humph, it's the Zhao family who apologized, not her. Who knows what she thinks in her heart? Besides, what if she really regrets it? Look at the recent past How miserable the Han family has been, can she make up for it? Lulu didn't say she wanted to forgive."

"Okay Nian Nian, you shameless person, even if you shout these words in her ear, she will not hear it. Let's not make Zhao Kanhai anxious and cause trouble for his family." Xiang Lingchen left. He came over and patted Nian Nian on the shoulder. Nian Nian rolled his eyes and turned aside.

Adopting an adopted daughter is not a big deal, at least Old Fu thinks so. There are not many people coming, so there is no need to drive back to Yanting. After Old Fu looked at him, Ke Ke led the way to Ninghui Hall, where he quickly organized a small-scale Not a small luncheon.

During the meal, Wang Jinglei deliberately sat next to me. At first, she didn’t take it seriously until she started talking in a low voice.

"Shishi, thank you. Yesterday I was still thinking that because of Hanlu, you would never pay attention to me again, and even hate me. But in the evening I received the news at Zhao's house that after knowing that Uncle Fu agreed to take me in, I was happy I couldn't sleep all night, I know this must be your help, don't worry, I will live a good life with Zhao Kanhai, consolidate our marriage, and be a good daughter of the Fu family."

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and in the end I could only pick up some food and put it on the plate: "I don't have the time to hate anyone. If you like the current situation, then I congratulate you."

Wang Jinglei smiled lightly, and Zhao Kanhai dressed her up and down in a dazzling way. I felt like I was in a previous life, but the love was not as good as before.

"From time to time, I know you are still angry, and I have figured it out. You are right. Han Lu is not a grudge against me. I don't need to retaliate against her in a big way. Now I am satisfied, and I am willing to do it for you. Take a step back and apologize to her. The wedding date for Zhao Kanhai and I has been set. Soon, I will get what I want. I don’t ask for anything else."

"Has the wedding date been set? So soon." I asked calmly while eating.

The smile on Wang Jinglei's face deepened: "Yes, because school is about to start, so I am quite anxious. It will be in three days."

"Three days?"

I was slightly surprised for a moment, but quickly calmed down, which was also expected.

On the one hand, it is indeed a matter of tight time. Wang Jinglei has offended her in-laws, so naturally my family can no longer accommodate her. She must have a status if she wants to live in the Zhao family.

On the other hand, the Zhao family's parents were probably not satisfied with their daughter-in-law at this time, and they didn't care if they were in a hurry.

Wang Jinglei was so excited that she had long forgotten all these rights and wrongs. She tasted the Tieguanyin in her hand and said, "Yes, three days later, my mother-in-law said it was a good day. I also saw it, and it was a good time to get married."

"Do you love him?" I asked abruptly.

Wang Jinglei, who often answered fluently, was stunned. She didn't expect that I would ask this question. It took her a while to realize: "Love, love, of course. Would you entrust your life to someone you don't love? Whenever you are angry, you can If you say anything else about me, don’t make fun of your feelings.”

"I'm afraid Zhao Kanhai will hear it." I still ate my food casually, as if I had never cared about this problem.

Wang Jinglei stopped talking.

I smiled, and when I was full, I put down my bowls and chopsticks and said calmly to her, "Congratulations."

The Fu family generally doesn't adopt children very often, so there are no too complicated rules in the family rules. Just like when I read silently, I just served Lao Fu a tea in front of the elders and elders. It was really hasty at the time, but it was also There is no need to reissue it later.

After lunch, the old man, his second uncle, and his younger uncle were going to the lobby of the tea house. Wang Jinglei knew that the adoption ceremony was coming, so she turned away from Zhao Kanhai and followed him. I sat where I was and didn't move, feeling that this had nothing to do with me. In addition, I am also a junior, but the old man suddenly called me over.

I followed my uncle to the teahouse.

My uncle suddenly squeezed my palm, smiled and asked me directly: "What do you think of this yard?"

I didn't understand what he meant, but I still looked at it carefully and replied: "The size is okay, and the building itself is okay, but the yard is too messy and old. This place has been deserted for more than ten years and no one has used it, right?"

The uncle nodded and glanced back intentionally or unintentionally: "With Guiyanting and Ninghui Hall, who would use this courtyard to entertain guests? Fortunately, someone has been cleaning it, so it can be used now."

I also looked back. Wang Jinglei lowered her head and followed not far away. There was no expression on her face, and I didn’t know whether she heard it or not.

I still lowered my voice: "Brother-in-law, after all, we are married to the Zhao family. Wouldn't it be bad if the Zhao family knew about it? This building is too far behind my small courtyard."

"The Zhao family is as disgusting as eating a fly. Besides, she is an adopted daughter, why should she be compared to you." My uncle hugged me.

I didn't say anything else. After being classmates for many years, there is still some residual friendship. We will be in the same class for another two years, so I won't add insult to injury.

Entering the reception room in the front hall, Lao Fu and the others sat on the sofa in the middle according to the rules. I was a senior and should have stood aside, but Lao Fu asked me to sit down, so I had to go to the right seat with the lowest seniority.

This was already looking down on other people's behavior. In order to save a little bit, I was busy making tea. As long as I bowed politely after Wang Jinglei served the tea, it wasn't too much.

But just when I was about to get up, my uncle pulled me down again. I looked over in surprise, and my uncle just motioned for me not to salute.

The old man held my hand lovingly and raised his eyebrows: "Shishi, Dad is old, and sometimes his mind can't turn around. What you said yesterday, Dad thought about it all night long. Come on, you said dad treated her as his own daughter before taking you home?" Old Fu pointed at Wang Jinglei.

"Ah?" I was stunned.

"Are you jealous?" The old man chuckled, and seemed a little proud. After rubbing my palm for a while, the old man used a gesture similar to "coquettish".

Although I also think it's outrageous to use this word to describe my father, I can't think of a better word.

The old man pulled me to sit down, and the uncle moved to the side. The old man asked me to sit in the middle. Before I could react, the old man turned around and sneered at Wang Jinglei: "Returning my adopted daughter is a good idea. I Having a daughter myself, I know what I think of my real daughter, and you are not qualified to compare with my daughter."

Wang Jinglei understood that this game was just to humiliate her, and she couldn't put down the hot tea. Her eyes were filled with tears, but she refused to drop any of them because of her self-esteem of being the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family.

But eleven years of "father-daughter love" is not so easy to let go of. Who doesn't long for family love? There is no hope for her native family. Wang Jinglei came to the Fu family when she was six years old. She considered herself a member of the Fu family after coming to the Fu family. She once truly regarded the old Fu as a relative, but now she was thrown to the ground.

"Uncle Fu..." Wang Jinglei choked in a low voice.

"Eh--" Old Fu's voice became longer, and every second it hurt like a sharp knife piercing his heart. Old Fu turned the prayer beads in his hand: "That's right, I'll save your face in front of outsiders, but in private , recognize your status. I support you, and I think I have never treated you badly. If you insist on seeking so-called 'happiness', then go ahead, but from now on, no matter whether you are good or bad, everything will It has nothing to do with my Fu family."

"Uncle Fu, I'm sorry." Wang Jinglei suddenly knelt down and kowtowed deeply.

There were no such rules at home, but no one stopped her.

He has been raised better than his biological parents for so many years. On the surface, it is a teacher-student friendship, but in fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an adoptive father. The old master can bear her worship.

"From now on, when you get to the Zhao family, be your wife well, respect your parents-in-law and elders, share your husband's worries, and love your children. This is your best way out. I have nothing else to say." The old man breathed a sigh of relief.

I don’t believe that Lao Fu would be so cruel. Although a foster daughter is definitely not as good as me, she will not have no feelings at all. In addition to being disappointed, he will definitely still be sad, but this is a matter of family honor and disgrace. , he can't choose anything based on his emotions alone.

I have no way to make a decision for Lao Fu. At this moment, I can only lean in his arms and look at him quietly.

Wang Jinglei stepped forward to offer tea, but the old man, second uncle, and younger uncle did not accept it. After Wang Jinglei placed it on the table, she bowed to everyone and left.

I guess she regretted it the moment she left the house, but today, she can no longer look back, just like me when I got married.

After I couldn't see her anymore, I cried inexplicably. I didn't know why. In short, there was a blockage in my heart, and I couldn't relax until I was suffocated.

The old man noticed something strange about me, but he couldn't see through my heart. How could he remember what happened in the previous life? But he still hugged me tightly and wiped the tears from my eyes.

The second uncle motioned for everyone inside and outside the house to get out.

"What will happen to her after she arrives at Zhao's house?" I asked in a low voice.

Old Fu and his second uncle looked at each other, but neither of them answered.

After a long pause, it was the old man who broke the deadlock: "She is only a teenager and a child. She has no background and relies only on feelings. I'm afraid she won't have an easy time. From time to time, you yourself have said that marriage is a big deal. An individual cannot start a family based on love alone.”

"It's not necessarily true if you keep to yourself." My second uncle said comfortingly. He touched my head and said, "Don't be afraid of Shishi. That Zhao family is a good boy."

However, these words cannot relieve my knot.

To make a living in a big family, it is not just a matter of having a nice husband and a deep affection.

I stayed close for a while and then went out. As the host, it was the first time for Yun Jiang and the others to come to the old house. I always had to show them around. After chatting like this for a long time, I felt much better.

Later in the evening, there were suddenly a lot of noises outside the house door. Just as he was about to go out to check, someone came to report the news - someone from the Han family was here.
