White Moonlight Second Capture Plan

Chapter 58 Interlude IV·Sharp-angled one-way street

☆Reminder before reading: This chapter is a memory from Ren Xiao's perspective, and the opening timeline is after Huo Zhong's divorce. ☆

"Xiaoxiao, come."

She was lying on the bed watching a variety show of a starlet she liked recently, when her mother suddenly entered the room, mysteriously.

"What's the matter?" She didn't really want to go, after all, she had watched half of the TV show and couldn't put it down.Little Star has a big problem, and she wants to know how he'll handle it.

"Come with me, something big is going on."

Now that her mother said so, she was reluctant, but she still got up.

Ren Xiao has always disliked summer, it is too hot, too long, sticky and uncomfortable.At this moment, she followed her mother through the corridor. Even though the central air conditioner had been set to a very low temperature, the transparent floor-to-ceiling glass on both sides could not completely block the heat from the window.

Let the maintenance guy put in a layer of insulation film or put in curtains, she thought.

Dad was simulating golf, and mom walked in: "Bring it here."

"What's the matter?" Engaging in such a big battle.

Dad leaned on the cue: "Horse is back."

Horsey...hanging?That son of Qingyue Huo's family?Ren Xiao was taken aback.I heard that he has been a devil king in Country Q, and he has had a lot of trouble with Uncle Huo, why is he willing to come back obediently now?

However, his return means...

Dad smiled wrinkled all over his face: "Xiao Xiao, go visit Uncle Huo some other day and meet Xixuan. After all, he is your future husband."

She didn't dare to show it in front of her parents, but when she heard this, her first reaction was nausea.

I have been educated in freedom, equality and fraternity since I was a child, and I think that being born in such a wealthy family is a kind of luck. I might as well be a dishwashing girl in a small roadside restaurant with a salary of only [-]. Her small family saved every penny—she was reduced to a puppet in a business marriage to a man she had barely met.

But she could raise no objection.Senyun's situation is getting worse, if it is not for Qingyue's help, I am afraid that the house he lives in now will not be able to keep.Dad seems to be playing golf leisurely, but in fact it is also to cater to Huo Dong's hobbies.

But these efforts are a drop in the bucket after all.People who want to please Mr. Huo can line up from the beach to the East Fifth Ring Road, but there can only be one daughter-in-law of him.

In the past 20 years, parents tried their best to give themselves the best life, and now it is time to sacrifice something in return for them.Marriage and love are not the necessities of life, but nothing more than the gift of fertility.

What's more, she has seen Huo Xixuan's photo before, he is tall and handsome, so he shouldn't be at a disadvantage, right?

Whether there is love or not doesn't seem to be very important.There is no money to stabilize such an ethereal thing like feelings.

The fiancé didn't come during the engagement, and she hadn't seen him a few times before that—if this kind of thing happened to someone else, Ren Xiao would think it was a joke, or some weird novel plot.

But it happened to me, like an absurd drama.

Uncle Huo's complexion was very bad, and everyone could only smile apologetically.The very young-looking assistant next to him went out to make phone calls again and again, and every time he came back, he shook his head with the same heavy weight.

Huo Dong had no choice but to say that he would find time next time, and of course other people would not have any objections.

Before leaving, my mother asked the driver to take Ren Xiao home first, because she and her father still had something to do.With his toes, he could guess that they were going to continue talking to Huo Dong, but Ren Xiao didn't care, and after saying goodbye to them, he didn't ask the driver to take them off, and walked around by himself.

After making such a turn, I met the person who should have appeared at the banquet just now at the corner.

Huo Xixuan didn't expect to meet her either.

At that time, Huo Xixuan was 25 years old and had just graduated with a master's degree. He was young and energetic, with love and hatred written on his face, and he didn't know how to hide it.

"I'm sorry." He gritted out between his teeth.

Ren Xiao was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why he wanted to apologize to himself, although he did deserve an apology.

"I'm sorry, I can't marry you." Huo Xixuan clenched his fists, as if saying this made him feel pain, "I already have a lover."

Ren Xiao didn't expect

What she heard would be such a sentence, but she also suddenly understood why Huo Xixuan and Uncle Huo almost broke up when he was abroad.

It turned out to be in love with someone who shouldn't be loved.

She was also a little surprised, it turned out that Huo Xixuan's temperament of pursuing love was completely different from what she thought.

It's not the same as myself at all.

"It's okay." She actually comforted a big man in turn, "Go back and talk to your uncles and aunts, they will understand you, after all, you are your own son."

Horsey shook his head: "If they could understand me, I wouldn't be here now."

"Do...does your lover know about us?" After she finished speaking a little awkwardly, she changed her words again, "I mean, did you know that your parents asked you to get engaged to me?"

"He doesn't know. He gave up on me first." Huo Xixuan buried himself deeply in his palm.

Ah, it's still sadomasochism.

Now Ren Xiao didn't know what to say, and from his own standpoint, it was not appropriate to speak.

"Sorry." Huo Xixuan wiped his eyes, "I made you laugh."

This is the third apology in just 10 minutes.Ren Xiao is a character that is easy to empathize with, and she was so upset that she was driven, and she just wanted to leave quickly.

"Goodbye," she said.Secretly hope in my heart, don't see you again.

She failed to get what she wanted, and even though the two parties did not agree, the marriage was still settled like this.

Ren Xiao knows that he is powerless to change, so he can only seize the time to enjoy the freedom and happiness of being single. At the same time, he met with Huo Xixuan for a few times, not seeking to develop a relationship, but hoping to understand each other's kind of people, so that they can get along peacefully in the future.

However, a few months later, things took a turn for the better.Huo Xixuan managed to "steal" her passport back, and returned to country Q. This time, she ruthlessly severed all contact with the Huo family. In her overheard conversation with her parents, she even gave up the entire Huo family's inheritance rights .

Ren Xiao was shocked, it turned out that the power of love can really be so great that it can give up thousands of dollars, as long as a beautiful woman smiles.

While admiring Huo Xixuan, she also began to wonder, what kind of person is that lucky man who is deeply loved by Huo Xixuan?

The little sister who knew about it tried every means to ask her out to play all day long, so as to relieve the sadness of "running away from marriage".Ren Xiao pretended to be downcast on the surface, but he felt happy in his heart that he hadn't felt in a long time.

After all, I can be regarded as getting rid of a big problem.

——Come on, let us wish Ms. Ren a safe escape! "

——Yes, yes, the next one will be more obedient and the next one will be cuter!He, Huo Xixuan, is not worthy of a good sister like me! "

——Xiaoxiao, don’t be sad, you are always the best, woooooo...

——The person involved didn’t cry yet, you let go of your sadness.

Ren Xiao is very touched that these good friends can accompany him, even though he is not sad at all.

She raised her glass: "May we all meet the most suitable lover."

I saw Huo Xixuan again at Huo Jiang's funeral.

The little-known youngest son of the Huo family, who was adopted in order to flaunt charity, even her parents had never seen her before. She didn't expect to meet him for the first time at his funeral.

She is very young and handsome, and I heard that she is very talented in art.

But there is no such artist in this world anymore.

Uncle Huo aged ten years overnight, and needed Mrs. Huo's support to walk.Although he is an adopted son, he probably has a very deep relationship.

Huo Xixuan came here in a hurry, covered in dust and disheveled hair, knelt down in front of his younger brother's coffin and his father, and shed tears of remorse: "I'm sorry for Huo Jiang. I won't leave again, I won't go again If you look for him, you won't be willful anymore; I will stay and join the company according to your arrangement; I will marry Ren Xiao... forgive me, forgive me..."

She wasn't far away, but Huo Xixuan's voice was trembling, mixed with crying, so he couldn't hear her clearly.Why did he say sorry to Huo Jiang?

Oh, by the way, not long ago, Uncle Huo seemed to have decided to let his youngest son inherit the family business.

If Huo Xixuan did not go to country Q, then Huo Jiang, who traveled around the world to collect inspiration

There is no need to go back to the country; if you don't go back to the country, you will not encounter that car accident, and your young life will not be lost.

Huo Xixuan thought so, and attributed his brother's death to himself.

But it's not your fault.Ren Xiao looked at his almost collapsed back, and couldn't help being sad.

However, no matter how much he regrets, no matter how he changes in the future, Huo Jiang who left will never come back.

Qingyue held a press conference, Huo Shixiao officially announced his retirement, and the group was handed over to his only son.Huo Xixuan became the CEO, and quickly entered a society full of thorns from a graduate with a dream.At the press conference, Ren Xiao sat on the stage. Although he didn't speak, he sent a signal to all the media: this daughter of Senyun Group has gotten very close to Huo's.

Since then, it has been the life she is familiar with, living separately with Huo Xixuan, and occasionally attending some events together, which also creates an illusion of intimacy. No one in the media or the public will think that the two of them are close to good things.However, Huo Xixuan never responded positively.

Life seems to be on the right track and seems to be very stable, but Ren Xiao vaguely feels that there is an undercurrent hidden under the calm.

She didn't have any evidence, but her intuition told her that Huo Xixuan was still thinking about that person.

The one his lover, the one he promised his father "I won't go to him again".

Although he floated back to the land from the deep sea where he drowned, the moon was still hanging in the sky, how could he forget it.

Ren Xiao had a hunch that such a mediocre life would not last long.

"All the things he pursued, all the roads he walked after he separated from you, are ultimately to make himself strong enough to be with you." In the end, Ren Xiao concluded this way.

"That's all I know." She spoke dryly, lowered her head and took a sip of her wine.It’s really not suitable to choose this kind of iced drink on a cold day, it’s cold to the bottom of the stomach, “Then I met a child on Children’s Day, and all directions have been reversed since then—to a certain extent, it’s back to the original It’s the right path. After that, it won’t be my story.”

She has tried to simplify and simplify as much as possible, but after all, it is four years, and it is normal for Zhong Yin to be unable to digest it for a while.From his expression, one can guess that the pressure Huo Xixuan has suffered and the hardships he has suffered in these years must have never been mentioned to Zhong Yin.

It's really a pair of fateful mandarin ducks.While Ren Xiao teased secretly, she seemed to be relieved, the big rock in her heart finally fell, and she didn't need to fall into other people's vortex anymore.

Although her parents were furious, she was very happy.

Now Senyun is no longer the weak person who needed Qingyue as a life-saving straw, and now it can even sit on an equal footing with Qingyue.Now that the crisis is resolved, she believes that one day her parents will be able to let go and let herself pursue happiness.

Facing her report, Zhong Yin listened carefully, but kept silent, the coffee in hand was completely cold.

Ren Xiao didn't expect any answers, she just wanted to tell him what she had seen and heard over the years, so that they could clear up all their misunderstandings, have a good relationship for a hundred years and forever, and stop harming innocent people.

"Okay, I'm done as a volunteer lobbyist, I'm like a sailor." She put on her scarf and stood up, "Remember to ask him to pay me."

They didn't say goodbye, and she turned to leave.

The oncoming cold wind made her nose sour, and her cheeks were red from the cold. She sniffed and buried herself in the soft scarf.

Today's weather forecast says it will snow.

In the new year, I hope that everyone will not stop in the quagmire of the past and let life restart.
