The whole world wants them to get divorced

Lu Xi and Yuan Qiao were called into the study room. Lu Wei wanted to follow but dared not, so she pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "Dad, what are you doing? This person surnamed Yuan is not the real daughter of the Lu family, what is there to talk about with her?" of."

Tang Jie looked up at the second floor, and asked her in a low voice, "Yuan Qiao, why is she back?"

"How do I know?" Lu Wei said, "I was hungry and came down to find something to eat, and then I saw her and my sister sitting on the sofa and staring blankly. I thought it was Si Yu, but who knew it was Yuan Joe is a white-eyed wolf! I want to drive her out, but my sister still calls me a shrew. Humph!"

"Having been missing for ten years without any news, it's so strange to suddenly come back without saying hello." Tang Jie was thoughtful.

Lu Wei rolled her eyes and said, "This white-eyed wolf is not coming back to grab our property!"

"What nonsense." Tang Jie slapped the back of her hand hard, looked at her with eyes as if she was mentally retarded, and said angrily, "Yuan Qiao moved out from the Lu family when she was ten years old. What right does she have to be with you?" Steal property."

Lu Wei rubbed the back of her hand and muttered: "She is not on the Lu family's household registration book, but who knows if my father will spread her father's love and share the property with her. Even if my father is hard-hearted, what about grandma? Grandma loved Yuan the most since she was a child. Qiao, I can't wait to give her all my heart and soul. A year ago, I mistook Si Yu for Yuan Qiao. This love is too deep. At that time, the white-eyed wolf will say something nice to grandma and shed a few tears. Grandma must have softened her heart."

Tang Jie was a little shaken by what she said, and subconsciously looked at Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu hasn't moved her position since she entered the living room. She turned her head to look at Si Yu who stood behind her with a nervous face. She looked at her for a long time as if she didn't know her, and said, "You are really Si Yu. language?"

Si Yu tried to smile but couldn't, and failed to manage his expression, so he nodded with difficulty.

Mrs. Lu's expression was a bit complicated, and she looked at her for a long time, sighed heavily, and said, "I'm too confused, my eyes are dim, and I mistook you for Qiao Qiao."

"……sorry."

Mrs. Lu opened her mouth, looked at her slightly trembling eyelashes, and said, "You also lied to me about getting married to Xixi?"

Si Yu quickly shook his head and said, "It's true, I married her three years ago."

"Really?" Mrs. Lu's expression was blank for a while, she covered her head with one hand, and said slowly: "I can't remember at all."

Si Yu bit his lip, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Mrs. Lu may also be a little awkward. She hesitated to speak and stared at her for a long time. Finally, she said nothing. She straightened her head and looked up at the second floor.

Si Yu's eyes fell on the old man's gray hair, and there was warmth in his eyes.

In the past, when Mrs. Lu regarded her as Yuan Qiao, the grandparents and grandchildren always had endless conversations. Now that her false identity has been exposed, she suddenly has nothing to say.

Mrs. Lu didn't blame her, and she didn't show her face, but her heart felt empty and hurt as if someone had taken it away.

She thought of something that Lu Wei had said inappropriately.The original female partner has a distasteful personality. When she knew that the original female partner was going to marry Lu Xi, Mrs. Lu strongly opposed it.

Now that Mrs. Lu already knows that she is Si Yu, will she think of the past and hate her?

It's not surprising that she hates it, after all, she's just a stand-in.Thinking of this, Si Yu smiled wryly.

At this time, the nurse should come to give Mrs. Lu a massage.Si Yu let the nanny push Mrs. Lu into the room without following her.

The atmosphere in the study was a little dignified.

"When did you return to China?" Lu Zhennan asked Yuan Qiao directly.

Yuan Qiao seemed a little afraid of him, her pupils shrank, and said, "I got off the plane this morning."

Lu Zhennan had a serious expression: "Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back?"

Yuan Qiao gave him a timid look and said, "I'm afraid you won't agree."

Lu Zhennan: "..."

"I promised you would disappear forever, but I couldn't do it. I'm sorry." Yuan Qiao bowed ninety degrees to him, and when she straightened her waist, her eyes were red.

Lu Zhennan quickly glanced at Lu Xi.

Lu Xi didn't understand why Lu Zhennan called him in, and it was even more inexplicable to meet his gaze.Looking back on their conversation just now, Lu Xi always felt that there was something in the words.

Guiltily, Lu Zhennan looked away, rubbed his face, looked at Yuan Qiao's red eyes, and calmed down, "Is something wrong? Is your mother okay?"

Yuan Qiao's shoulders shook, two lines of tears fell "shua", and she covered her mouth and sobbed: "She's dead."

Lu Zhennan was startled, the majesty on his face was gone, and he hurriedly asked, "When did it happen?"

"The day before yesterday." With tears streaming down her face, Yuan Qiao turned around, looked at Lu Xi who was sullen and silent, and said, "I brought her ashes back."

"..."

The father and daughter stayed in the study for nearly an hour.

Seeing Lu Xi going down the stairs first, Lu Wei couldn't wait to rush over to ask what they were talking about. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Lu Zhennan and Yuan Qiao who came down afterwards, and swallowed the words again.

"Hungry, I've already had someone prepare lunch." Tang Jie said with a decent smile.

Lu Zhennan gave a faint "hmm" and said, "Let auntie clean up the guest room."

Tang Jie looked at Yuan Qiao with red eyes, and asked tentatively, "Is it for Qiao Qiao?"

Lu Zhennan nodded.

Tang Jie suppressed the shock and doubt in her heart, and said kindly, "Got it."

"She's not our family member, why let her live in the guest room?" Lu Wei said loudly.

Lu Zhennan glared at her.

Lu Wei was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak. She hid behind Lu Xi and tugged at the hem of her clothes, trying to pull her to stand with her in the united front.

However, Lu Xi was indifferent to how Lu Zhennan arranged for Yuan Qiao, glanced around, and asked, "Where's Si Yu?"

"I saw her go out an hour ago, she must have left." Lu Wei said.

gone?

Lu Xi hurriedly called her, but was quickly connected, heaved a sigh of relief, and asked, "Where are you?"

"Ah—today's sun is big and round." Si Yu said inexplicably.

"..." Lu Xi was not in the mood to listen to her rap, and asked again patiently: "Where is it?"

Si Yu let out a long sigh, and said lazily, "Swimming pool."

When Lu Xi found her, he saw her lying upright on the lounge chair by the pool like a salted fish in a daze.

Although there are parasols in the rest area, there are enough ultraviolet rays on this hot day, the sun is dazzling, and even the air is hot.

Si Yu turned his attention away from the white clouds drifting overhead, saw her, and said lazily, "If you don't come out, I'm going to be out of oil."

Lu Xi pulled her up, looked at the sweaty bangs on her forehead, and said, "You're so afraid of the heat, why don't you turn on the air conditioner inside?"

Si Yu's lips moved, and he said in a low voice, "I feel like a superfluous person who doesn't deserve to be in here."

Lu Xi frowned: "You are my wife, how can you be a superfluous person?"

Si Yu's heart warmed up, and then he thought of something else, the light in his eyes went out again, and said, "Yuan Qiao is back, grandma doesn't need me anymore."

Lu Xi guessed that it was because of grandma and Yuan Qiao that she hid outside. He held her chin with his fingers, looked into her gray eyes, and said slowly, "Isn't that just right? From today onwards, you can be back to your own."

Si Yu opened his mouth slightly, grabbed her wrist suddenly, and said, "You are good at comforting people."

Lu Xi smiled, scratched her chin like a cat, and asked, "Do you feel better now?"

Si Yu nodded, then shook his head again, and said, "Of course I'm happy to be myself again, but... I'm worried that grandma will hate me. After all, I lied to her, and I don't know how to face her."

"Grandma is not the kind of unreasonable person. You treat her so well, how could she hate you." Lu Xi patted her head and said, "Her mind is up and down, maybe she just hasn't reacted yet."

Si Yu blinked: "Really?"

"real."

Seeing her serious appearance, Si Yu couldn't hold back a "puchi" laugh.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I know you're teasing me, but I'm really in a better mood." Si Yu hugged her gratefully, and changed the subject: "Are you finished chatting?"

Lu Xi nodded.

"Why did Yuan Qiao come back at this time?"

Lu Xi's eyes darkened, and he said, "Her mother passed away."

Si Yu gave a soft "ah" and said clearly, "So that's how it is."

Lu Xi didn't really want to talk about this topic, so he looked up at the sky and said, "The sun is too big, let's go in."

"Ah."

With Lu Xi holding her hand and going in with her, Si Yu felt much more at ease.When she was about to enter the house, she suddenly came to her senses and looked at the preoccupied person beside her in shock: "Yuan Qiao's mother, isn't she your adoptive mother?"

A strange emotion flashed in Lu Xi's eyes. He lowered his eyes and said "hmm" in a low mood.

"then you……"

"Miss, Miss Si, we are ready to eat." Si Yu was interrupted by the nanny before he finished speaking.

Si Yu looked at Lu Xi worriedly.

Lu Xi returned to his usual calm and calm appearance, squeezed her palm and said, "Eat first."

The process of eating this time was really tormenting and weird.

Before the meal, Lu Zhennan briefly explained the death of Yuan Qiao's mother.As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent at the same time.

Mrs. Lu took Yuan Qiao's hand and sighed, "My poor child—"

Then the two started crying again.

The others looked at each other.

Yuan Qiao's biological parents divorced shortly after she returned to Yuan's house, and she and Yuan's mother have lived together for so many years.After graduating from high school, Yuan Qiao took Yuan's mother abroad together, and there was no news for ten years. No one knew where they went or what they were doing.Returning to her native land again, she became an orphan.

Before leaving the country, the Yuan family sold the house, so Yuan Qiao could be said to be homeless.Mrs. Lu couldn't bear her to wander outside alone, and said, "This will be your home from now on, don't leave, be good."

Yuan Qiao glanced at the silent people at the dining table, and said hesitantly, "Grandma, this is not appropriate."

"There is nothing inappropriate." Mrs. Lu said without rebuttal: "Whether your surname is Yuan or Lu, you are my granddaughter. They don't recognize you, but I do."

Yuan Qiao's throat choked, and he forced a smile and said, "Thank you grandma."

Lu Zhennan just asked Yuan Qiao to stay in the Lu family temporarily, but Madam Lu was lucky enough to turn Yuan Qiao into the Lu family's daughter again with just one sentence.

Lu Wei was 1 dissatisfied in her heart, but she was afraid of the majesty of Mrs. Lu and Lu Zhennan, so she dared not speak out, so she could only poke the rice in the bowl into a honeycomb shape with chopsticks, as if she was venting her anger.

It is said that Yuan's mother died of cancer and was cremated abroad. Yuan Qiao traveled thousands of miles to bring the urn back.The most important thing now is to bury her mother.

Lu Zhennan has a very high reputation in City B and has a lot of contacts. He helped Yuan's mother find a suitable cemetery with just one phone call. The burial time should be sooner rather than later, and it will be tomorrow.

Yuan Qiao's sudden return caught everyone off guard, and Si Yu and Lu Xi's dating plan was also interrupted.

Even so, the daily goodnight kiss between the two remained the same.

Different from the lingering in-depth in the past, today's kiss is just a taste.

"Good night."

Lu Xi kissed her forehead, and when he was about to leave, Si Yu held her back: "Didn't Yuan Qiao sleep in the guest room?"

"There are several guest rooms." Lu Xi paused, deliberately teasing her, "You don't want me to go?"

Si Yu nodded honestly.

Lu Xi was taken aback, glanced at the only big bed in the room intentionally or unintentionally, with the corners of his lips hooked, he said with a half-smile, "You know, I'm not used to sleeping on the sofa."

"Then let's go to bed together."

Lu Xi stopped smiling, his eyes became darker, and his voice lowered: "Are you sure?"

Si Yu couldn't help but pull her in, pressed her on the big bed, patted her slightly dull face with his weak and boneless hands, and said frivolously: "Little daughter-in-law, wait here, wait until I'm done washing for nothing, and I'll pamper you again ~"

Lu Xi couldn't help but laugh.

Si Yu washed it in 10 minutes, and it was her turn to do it.Lu Xi didn't wash for a long time either.

The night is getting darker.

After taking a bath, the two people lay face to face on the big bed, looked at each other for a moment, and couldn't hold back a kiss.

Stretch your head this time.

Si Yu felt that she was a little absent-minded.

"Are you in a bad mood?"

Lu Xi touched her lips lightly and said, "No."

Si Yu slightly pushed her away, looked at her downcast eyes, and said after consideration, "Yuan Qiao's mother is your adoptive mother. She passed away. You must be sad, right?"

"..." Lu Xi seemed to be forbearing, turned over, turned his back to her, and said in a muffled voice: "No."

The same two answers, the emotions are obviously different.

Si Yu thought her reaction was strange.If my adoptive mother died, no one, no matter how ruthless, would be indifferent, right?But Lu Xi was just impatient and didn't even want to mention it.

Lu Xi only looked cold on the surface, but he was actually a warm person in his heart. Why was he so indifferent to the death of his adoptive mother?Si Yu couldn't figure it out.

The novel didn't mention Lu Xi's adoptive mother, didn't mention Yuan Qiao, and didn't even mention that Lu Xi was wrongly hugged when he was born, so Si Yu couldn't understand why Lu Xi reacted like this, but she intuitively felt that there must be a lot in it. Untold secrets.

If it's a secret, it's inconvenient for her to inquire about it.

Lu Xi stubbornly refused to admit it, but she knew she must be feeling uncomfortable, she noticed it when she was eating, and Lu Xi didn't take a few bites at all.

Si Yu kept her because he sensed that she was unhappy.

Regarding the death of her adoptive mother, no matter whether Lu Xi was hiding her sadness or was really indifferent, she felt that Lu Xi needed someone to accompany him tonight.

Lu Xi turned his back to her, his thin shoulders looked fragile and lonely, Si Yu's heart was touched, he hugged her from behind, kissed her on the back of the neck, and said softly, "Have I turned off the light?"

"Ah."

With a bang, the room plunged into darkness.

Lu Xi turned around rustlingly, breathing lightly on her face, a little itchy.

It was pitch black and she couldn't see anything. Si Yu didn't close her eyes, but she could feel Lu Xi looking at her in the dark.

It wasn't that kind of staring at him, nor was it that kind of affectionate spying, as if he was brewing some kind of emotion.

I always feel that Lu Xi has something to say.

She held her breath and waited patiently.

After waiting for a few minutes, Lu Xi said softly, "I was hugged wrong when I was born, and I have lived in Yuan's house for ten years."

This Siyu knows, and Xiao B introduced her to her when she first came here.But she didn't interrupt.

Lu Xi probably just wanted to talk, so she should be an obedient listener.

Si Yu touched her hand, gently scraped her palm with his nails, motioning for her to continue.

"Ten years ago, my dad's secretary found me and said that I was the eldest lady of the Lu family and wanted to take me back to the Lu family...I don't want to."

Lu Xi seemed to be lost in memories, and paused for a few seconds before continuing: "Then they sold me."

"Sold???" Si Yu gasped, and couldn't help shouting, "Who is so wicked!"

"Who else?" Lu Xi's tone was suddenly cold, "My adoptive father and mother, the parents I used to love the most, for a huge sum of money, they don't want me anymore."

"..." Si Yu was too shocked to speak.

"I was sent to the Lu family."

"They kept saying they would love me forever and that I would always be their sweetheart. But from the day they received the money, they disappeared."

"I originally thought that they might be forced by the Lu family, so they didn't dare to come to see me. I sneaked back that day and heard them say excitedly in the room: 'The Lu family is so generous and rich. More points'."

"...I turned around and ran."

Si Yu gritted his teeth.

"They should know I went back because I didn't close the door when I ran out."

"I took a taxi back to Lu's house by myself. They didn't scold me. On the contrary, everyone treated me very well, including Lu Wei's mother. Everyone followed me and coaxed me, for fear that I would be unhappy. But I know , They just want to make up for me in this way because they owe me something in their hearts."

"But that's not love."

Si Yu waited for a long time without waiting for the next sentence, and realized that she had finished speaking.

Although Lu Xi's tone sounded almost the same as usual, Si Yu felt very uncomfortable in her heart. Anger, irritability, and a deep sense of powerlessness squeezed her. She thumped the bed angrily and said through gritted teeth. : "They are too hateful!"

Even if there is no blood relationship, after ten years of raising her, she still has feelings. How can she "sell" her daughter for a little money? ? ?

She couldn't imagine how broken the ten-year-old Lu Xi's heart was when he heard that he was "sold" by his adoptive parents.Are you crying?

If it were different, she would definitely cry to death.

A ten-year-old girl is naive and romantic, thinking that she has a happy family, her parents love her, and her family is harmonious and beautiful.Suddenly one day, she discovered that all of this was an illusion, her parents were fake, and so was the so-called love. A check or a bank/bank/card lightly shattered her dream.

How cruel.

It's not that she is indifferent, it's that the family is too ruthless.

Si Yu couldn't bear to listen any longer, he hugged her tightly with one hand, and touched her face with the other.

Lu Xi grabbed her groping hand and said in a helpless tone, "Don't touch it, I didn't cry."

"..."

"I won't cry after the age of ten." Lu Xi said lightly, "It's not worth it."

Si Yu is not a person who likes to cry, but hearing this sentence feels inexplicably painful.She lost her parents since she was a child, but her grandma loves her very much.She couldn't understand why there were such cold-blooded parents, she couldn't empathize with her, and she didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only hold her face and kiss her indiscriminately.

Lu Xi was amused by her dog-licking kiss, covered her mouth with his hands, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "It's much more comfortable to say the words that have been held in my heart for more than ten years."

Hearing this, the tense string in Si Yu's heart relaxed.

People need company most when they are helpless, just like she does during the day.

"Go to sleep."

"Ah."

It was the first time to sleep in each other's arms, without passion/desire, just want to give the other party a harbor to rely on.

They are like lost lambs who have found their way home, embracing each other and absorbing warmth.

In the silent corridor, a slender figure disappeared in the darkness, his eyes were fixed on the closed door, and the hand holding the doorknob trembled slightly.

It is definitely a wonderful thing to be able to see someone you like when you open your eyes——Si Yu thought so in his heart.

However, when she woke up, she found that Lu Xi was no longer by her side.

The sheets are still warm, but people don't know where they went.

She got up to wash and change, and went into the cloakroom, just in time to meet Lu Xi who had changed.

"Are you going to work?" Si Yu looked at her in black clothes and pants, and asked in a daze.

Lu Xi shook his head and said, "She will be buried today."

He didn't name names, but Si Yu understood immediately.

Although she was only a adoptive mother, even though she "sold" Lu Xi, as an adopted daughter, Lu Xi still dutifully sent her on her last journey.

She knew that Lu Xi was not an indifferent person.

It's just that it hurts more.

"I'll accompany you."

Lu Xi looked at her deeply, opened his thin lips lightly, held her hand, and said, "Okay."

Si Yu didn't know whether Yuan's family had no relatives or Yuan Qiao didn't inform, only she, Lu Xi, Lu Zhennan and Tang Jie attended the funeral, ironically deserted.

Lu Xi remained expressionless the whole time, as if he was attending a stranger's funeral.

Si Yu was very concerned about Yuan's mother "selling" Lu Xi, but after all, the deceased was the most important, so he didn't show any dissatisfaction in his heart, and silently watched the staff of the funeral home put the urn in.

"Mom!" Just as the staff was about to seal the stele, Yuan Qiao jumped on it like crazy, and the stone almost hit her hand.

The staff understood her grief and wanted to wait for her to finish crying before covering her.Unexpectedly, Yuan Qiao cried more and more fiercely, using both hands and feet, wishing she could get into the narrow pit to be buried with her mother.

The staff didn't dare to be tough on Yuan Qiao, and said to Lu Xi and Si Yu who were closest, "Hold her down."

The two looked at each other and forcibly dragged Yuan Qiao aside.

Tang Jie came to comfort her.

Seeing that her face was swollen from crying, Si Yu also wanted to comfort her.Before she could speak, Yuan Qiao turned around and threw herself into Lu Xi's arms, crying bitterly.

Si Yu's eyes widened.

Although I understand that you just died and Mom was very sad.

but! !! !!

This is my wife, who allows you to hug her so tightly? ? ?
