Chapter 87. Engagement

From the time the news came out, there was an uproar. The onlookers didn't expect things to take such a sudden turn.

You know, the Shi family and the Xu family have always been two evergreen trees. Although they come and go secretly, they are still friendly on the surface.I thought that the two families would make a big move together, but I didn't expect that the Shi family broke the contract before the marriage was concluded, and began to "agreement" to terminate the engagement. I don't know what happened.

All of a sudden, opinions were divergent, and various speculations were spread.

However, a more reliable theory is that Shi Shi, the granddaughter of the Shi family, met a man abroad, cried and clamored to marry him, and even committed suicide to force her family to agree.Mr. Shi felt sorry for his granddaughter, so he had no other choice, so he went to Xu's family to make an apology in person with a shy face, and promised a lot of benefits, so the marriage contract was dissolved.

Some people say that the Shi family is not blinded by power, the most important thing is the happiness of the granddaughter.There are also people who say that the Shi family is stupid, not to mention the failure of the marriage contract, but also give away a lot of benefits for nothing, and directly offend the Xu family.

But no matter what other people said, the marriage contract was finally resolved.

Xu house.

Xu Chunxi went to see old master Shi back, and as soon as he entered the living room, he saw his father was still sitting on the sofa, maintaining the previous posture without moving.His heart tightened, and he hurried over.

"Send off?" Mr. Xu raised his slack eyelids, glanced at Xu Chunxi, and his voice was a little heavy.He doesn't look like a man in his seventies at all, with black hair and bright eyes.Although there are wrinkles on the face, the skin has not relaxed at all, and people who say that it is Xu Chunxi's brothers will believe it.

Xu Chunxi didn't dare to look directly at his father's face, so he quickly looked away, then moved subconsciously, changed his sitting position, then nodded and said, "Well, I saw the car off, and I just came back "He thought for a while, but still felt uneasy, and lowered his voice, "Dad, you said that breaking the engagement between Bai Ting and Shi Shi so suddenly is not like the Shi family's usual style."

The two of them have been rivals for many years, and the Shi family has always been gentle and gentle, walking very steadily.I don't know why this time, but it happened all of a sudden, without any warning.Nothing happened recently, since the two got engaged, it was really kind.

"You really think that Shi Shi has a new love?" Mr. Xu Shibang glanced at Xu Chunxi and sighed in his heart.His son was born with a good-looking talent, and he could still bluff people when he stood up, but he couldn't turn his head around, and he couldn't do things quickly. Son.Although Xu Baiting was a generation older, his ability was not as good as that of his nephew.

He thought of Mr. Shi who had just returned, and he was still a little envious. If his son could be as smart and capable as the Shi family's son, he would have gone drinking tea and fishing long ago, so he still needs to carry them ahead?So he looked at Xu Chunxi with some disappointment in his eyes.

"Of course not!" Seeing that his father was looking at him with serious eyes, Xu Chunxi waved his hands and quickly defended himself, "Dad, we all know that the old man of the Shi family has always been a smiling fox with a mouth What he said is all false, what he thinks in his heart can't be seen by others. Of course I know that falling in love with a foreign man is death or life, it must be an excuse, but I just can't figure out what's going on."

Xu Chunxi paid attention to his father's expression from the corner of his eye, and his heart never relaxed.He is also 50 years old. Although he can be said to be very powerful outside, and he has to greet people respectfully when he sees him, but once he returns to this house, he has to be a man with his tail between his legs.In the eyes of the old man, he may not be as valuable as Xu Baiting.If the Xu family didn't need someone from this generation to occupy the seat, he wouldn't know where he was.

"Didn't Bo Song say before that Cang Li chatted with Shi Chen for a long time?"

"That doesn't make sense, could it be that the Dragon Lord—" Xu Chunxi paused, and immediately changed his address, "Cang Li really suspected that he went to the Shi family?"

Xu Shibang glanced at the eldest son, feeling a little bored suddenly in his heart, closed his eyes, and slowed down his voice, "I know what you think. However, things from more than [-] years ago have been hidden, regardless of whether the seven groups Do you suspect that the Shi family has nothing to do with us. It doesn't matter, understand?" He sighed, although his face was still radiant, but his expression was still full of depression, "I can still live for so many years. , don't worry, I will hold on to this family, you do your own thing and pave the way for Bai Ting and the others."

Seeing that he didn't want to say any more, Xu Chunxi nodded in agreement, not daring to ask any more questions.Finding that his father closed his eyes and couldn't see his movements, he replied in a low voice, "Okay, father."

Shi's car.

After Grandpa Shi got into the car, the ashamed look on his face disappeared without a trace, and he said to the driver in front, "Drive." As the car started, Xu's house was gradually left behind the car, Can't see anymore.

Shi Chen had been waiting in the car before, his heart was tossing and turning, he was very anxious, but he still had to put on an appearance of being as steady as Mount Tai, it was really tormenting.Besides, he also promised Shi Shi that he would send a message as soon as there was a result.Seeing Grandpa getting into the car now, although he didn't have any expression on his face and didn't speak, but based on his understanding of Grandpa, that expression showed a sense of calmness, so he quietly sent Shi Shi a WeChat message, just two words ,"smoothly."

"Are you reporting to Shi Shi again?" Shi Chen's hands were quick, and the moment he heard this, he quickly put the phone back in his pocket, and smiled at his grandfather while tilting his head.

There was still a bit of depression in my heart, but it was all gone after Shi Chen smiled like this, and Grandpa Shi also had a smile on his face, "You and Shi Shi have been like this since we were young. We only knew how to make gestures to inform people when we were only a few years old, and we even invented it ourselves. I really don't know who I learned the special gestures and code words from." Although the tone was reproachful, the eyes were very gentle and filled with nostalgia.

Shi Chen was a little uncomfortable when the past was brought up again, but he has always been thick-skinned, and he replied with a smile, "Such smart must be inherited from your grandfather!" Finally, he laughed out loud, "What a rambunctious monkey!"

Feeling that Grandpa's mood became clearer, Shi Chen asked directly, "Grandpa, how did you go in and talk? Do Shi Shi want to marry that Xu Baiting?" Shi still went into the fire pit.

Grandpa Shi is leaning on crutches with both hands, and there are already faint age spots on his hands.He sighed, and he was in a good mood, "What else can I do? I've pulled off my old face, and it's impossible for the Xu family not to agree to the dissolution of the engagement, or if it spreads, they won't listen well. Now our family is The fault is all attributed to myself, and their steps are very clean. In the future, their Xu family will talk about marriage, and it will be smooth."

Grandpa Shi obviously felt a little uncomfortable, "It's our fault, I can accept compensation for a few transfer positions, development projects and documents are also normal, but you listen to other people's requirements, and say yes, regardless of Shi Shi's future and foreign ones. If you don’t succeed, you can’t marry in the capital again! Isn’t this just to make it clear that our family can dissolve the engagement, but if we want to find a marriage with a similar background, there is no way. Our family Shi Shi is not allowed to come to Beijing, for fear that others will gossip !" Speaking of this, Grandpa Shi breathed a little faster, obviously out of breath.

When Shi Chen heard that it was resolved, he let go of a big stone in his heart, leaned over quickly, rubbed his shoulders, beat his back and patted his chest for grandpa, and comforted him, "It's okay, grandpa, how good is Shi Shi? Let her marry a It’s the same for foreign big capitalists who wear big diamond rings and wedding dresses studded with diamonds to get married, eat delicious food and drink like queens, it’s the same. Isn’t it the capital? The air is so bad and crowded, what’s so good about it.”

After being comforted by him, Grandpa Shi became more angry and his face softened.He glanced at Shi Chen and snorted, "Is this the only pursuit?"

Shi Chen chuckled, anyway, it doesn't matter who he marries in the future, as long as he doesn't marry into Xu's family.

Looking at his expression, Grandpa Shi knew what he was thinking. After pondering for a while, he turned to ask, "Because you were raised by me, and I trust your judgment, so I have never taken care of you." Asking you. Now that the matter is almost settled, tell me, why did Cang Li help our family so much?"

Their Shi family has always followed a steady and steady path, and they have never dealt with Group Seven, let alone Cang Li.So this person who has no relatives and no reason, is it to sell favors?But he doesn't think that there is really any kindness here to sell.

Shi Chen was afraid that his grandfather would not believe him, so he only said that he knew Cang Li, and that he met Cang Li in the clubhouse, and during the chat, the other party revealed the news.But he also knew that such a clumsy excuse, how could a veteran like grandpa believe it.The reason why I went to the Xu family today is because my grandfather believes that his grandson is smart and stable enough to not listen to the wind and rain, and joke about the fate of the family.

Hearing Grandpa's question, Shi Chen's back was covered in sweat. Could he just say that Kong Yan and Lord Long are in a relationship, and that Cang Li, as Kong Yan's "natal family", came to establish a good relationship with him?Grandpa has always regarded Kong Yan as his half-grandson. If he knew that Kong Yan had found a man to fall in love with, he was still inhuman—I always felt that if he said that, Grandpa would have a heart attack and cerebral hemorrhage on the spot.

However, there is not so much time for him to entangle, and as long as he tells a lie, he will definitely be caught, so Shi Chen can only tell half and half, which is not a lie, "Cang Li and Kong Yan are very familiar, and I know that Kong Yan and I, we My family has a very good relationship, so I will help out." After speaking, he carefully looked at his grandfather's face, feeling a little guilty, and didn't know whether his grandfather believed it or not.

After hearing his reason, Grandpa Shi just nodded and didn't ask any more questions. As for what was going on in his heart, he didn't know.

Shi Chen held back his breath and didn't dare to let go, it was just so uncomfortable.He silently felt in his heart that if this went on like this, he would be the one who had a heart attack and a cerebral hemorrhage!So stressful!

He pretended to look at the scenery, turned his head to look out the window, and prayed in his heart that Kong Yan would come back quickly. It was really too difficult for him to survive this round. It was simply impossible for him to continue to hide this matter, and he said Maybe one day the pressure will be high, and he will tell this secret out of his sleep when he sleeps.

The car drove all the way in the direction of Shi's house, and he could vaguely feel that his grandfather was looking at him from time to time, with deep meaning in his eyes.So every time he felt his grandfather glanced at him, he would tremble and his hairs would stand on end.

Really suffer!

When the news reached Cang Li, he was discussing with Little Peacock.

"Baby, you can't do this. If you don't walk all the time, you will gain weight." But after thinking about the chubby little peacock, it is still very cute!Shaking off this thought in his head, Cang Li straightened his mind, he felt that his 10 years of patience had been displayed at this very moment.

He didn't realize it at first, but he suddenly discovered today that what little peacock is best at is not to be cute, but to pretend that his legs are disabled and his lower limbs are paralyzed, so he doesn't want to walk.And when he doesn't want to walk, he will show off to Cangli, and then take the "Cangli" scooter, feeling like flying.

Cang Li thinks that this is not going to work, the cub must be self-reliant and self-reliant. When he was a child, the elders in the clan never took the route of "caring for him". Regardless, you won't see anyone for a hundred or a thousand years.He thought about it carefully, and felt that he really doted on the little peacock too much. When he saw the little peacock striding forward with short legs, he couldn't help hugging it.

So he made up his mind to let the little peacock know the consequences of not liking to walk, but obviously, the effect was minimal.

"If you don't walk all the time, if you don't move your feet, your feet may degenerate in the future, and you won't be able to walk in the end." Cang Li and the little peacock stared at each other, hoping to use their persistence Probation him.

The little peacock thought the game of "eye to eye" was quite fun, and opened his round eyes very admiringly, and looked at Cang Li, unable to concentrate.Hearing Cang Li say that he couldn't walk after his degenerated feet, he thought for a while, "Chirp!" At the same time, he shook his little wings——I still have these!i can fly!

"..." Cang Li felt speechless.

Seeing that Cang Li had calmed down, the little peacock began to return to the state of "weakness in lower limbs and unable to walk". After lying down, he wanted to hug Cang Li, and the feather crest swayed with his movements. cute.

Cang Li couldn't bear this kind of nuclear attack, and struggled in his heart for a long time, finally gave up his persistence, leaned over silently, and hugged the little thing into his arms.

The author has something to say: #After returning home every day, I found that my little bird was pretending to be limp and weak in the lower limbs, and fell to the ground#
