"Tell me, what are you looking for me for?"
Xie Shi kept watching Xie Mu's back in the wheelchair disappear around the corner, and then turned his gaze to Zheng Ying impatiently.
His attitude made Zheng Ying a little at a loss, his eyes showed a little timidity, and his voice was a little softer, "I just want to meet you, we haven't seen each other for a long time..."
The impatience in the young man's eyes grew even heavier.
"Didn't I tell you that I'm busy now? If you have nothing to do, why don't you go to work in the company and stay at home every day? Don't you feel free?"
His tone was not very harsh, but Zheng Ying's eyes were still red.
These days, her boyfriend who used to be gentle and always accompanied her all the time was not there, and it was very difficult for her to feel wronged. Now she put down her body and came to the door, but what she got was not an apology and comfort, but words like she had done something wrong.
Zheng Ying was pampered and grew up. Where did she suffer from such words, her voice immediately choked up, and she said aggrievedly, "Didn't you say before that you would always be with me..."
Xie Shi didn't intend to coax her, his patience has always been used on useful people, now that Xie Mu has readily abdicated and the handover went smoothly, the Zheng family has become an existence like chicken ribs, it's a pity that food is useless and discarded, like Zheng Ying, who is like a little princess and needs to be coaxed all the time, is even more useless.
"Before it was before, I just took over the company now, how can I have time to spend with you."
"You don't have time to accompany me, why do you still have time to get books for your uncle!" Zheng Ying thought of what she heard and saw just now, and immediately asked, "It's broad daylight, it's not that you haven't gone to work at the company, it's that Are you busy?"
"You just don't want to be with me..."
Zheng Ying's tears fell down, "Will you fulfill the marriage contract between our two families?"
Xie Shi raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked back, "Do our two families have a marriage contract?"
The crying girl froze immediately.
She looked at the lover in front of her in disbelief, his expression was normal, as if he was speaking the most ordinary words, "You had an engagement with my uncle before, but it has been broken, so there is no other engagement."
Zheng Ying's eyes widened, "Xie Shi, what do you mean, didn't you say you want to marry me..."
"I said it, but now, I regret it."
Xie Shi smiled, looking elegant and rusty, "At our age, no one has regretted it. I was ignorant before and thought I could spend the rest of my life with you, but now that I think about it, we are all too young. What's more, you have made a marriage contract with my brother-in-law, if we are together again, it will be inappropriate both emotionally and rationally."
"you you… "
His attitude was so irritating, Zheng Ying trembled her lips for a long time before holding back a sentence, "How can you regret your marriage! Before you, we..."
"Miss Zheng."
The smile on Xie Shi's face fell, and he asked seriously, "May I ask if our two families have found a witness and exchanged tokens?"
"No...but..."
"Have we announced to Forty-Nine City, are you engaged to me?"
"Since not, what evidence do you have to prove that we were engaged?"
Zheng Ying was so angry that she couldn't speak, tears rolled down her face, she sobbed for a few seconds before accusing, "How can you be so shameless, we clearly agreed to get married, how can you go back on your word..."
Xie Shi let her accuse her, and seeing her crying face, he took out his handkerchief, walked up to the girl and gently wiped the tears on her face.
"Okay, don't cry."
His voice was not as ruthless as before, Zheng Ying's heart was filled with hope, and she looked up at him with red eyes.
However, the corners of the handsome young man's lips curled up slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and he said softly, "There's nothing to cry about."
"Didn't you also regret my uncle's marriage? Speaking of it, you are the one who is shameless."
Zheng Ying was stunned for five seconds before realizing Xie Shi's words. Her face was green and pale, and she could hardly believe that these words were spoken to her always gentle lover.
"How can you say that about me, I regret the marriage, it's not you who made me..."
Xie Shi stopped her remaining words, "I remember, when you first got engaged, you were very satisfied with my uncle, right?"
"That's right. At that time, he had just accepted Xie's family. He was a young talent and his legs were not disabled. Everyone in the circle would say hello to him. Of course you are satisfied with him."
"Didn't you go back to China to meet him in the first few days? You visited this yard no less than seven times in five days. Later, when you returned to China and heard that he had injured his leg, you didn't come back to take a look. After knowing that my uncle was disabled, Start talking about boyfriends abroad, if I remember correctly, I should be your eighth boyfriend, right?"
His tone was still gentle and gentle, like a whisper between lovers, but what he said seemed to tear off Zheng Ying's face, throwing it on the ground and stomping on it, making her look even uglier.
"Why don't you despise my uncle to continue the marriage contract? In fact, it's not because he is in power. When it's agreed that I will inherit the Xie family, my uncle will no longer be in power. You're breaking the engagement 'because of me'."
Xie Shi looked at Zheng Ying, who had an ugly face, and said gently, "Yingying, I really like you, but I'm a little worried, if I also hurt my arm or break my leg, will you seem to have abandoned me? My brother-in-law abandoned me? So let's forget about our marriage. "
"I should find a wife who doesn't cry as much as you, and who doesn't say that if you leave your fiancé, you will leave your fiancé."
"Okay, let's go when you've cried enough, and don't keep saying that we're engaged in the future. I won't admit it at that time, and you'll be ashamed."
Xie Shi thoughtfully added, "By the way, remember not to come to my house again. You used to be my uncle's fiancee, so you came here as soon as you came. Now that the engagement is broken, it's better for you to keep your distance."
With a pale face, Zheng Ying pushed him away, "You did it on purpose..."
The young man looked at his ex-lover innocently, "I don't understand what you are talking about."
She glared at Xie Shi with tears in her eyes, and ran away crying.
The young man stood on the spot, the smile on his face gradually faded, he slightly lowered his eyes to look at the handkerchief in his hand, there was a trace of disgust in his eyes, he was about to raise his hand and throw the handkerchief down casually, watching the white snow underneath suddenly stopped In mid-air.
Xie Shi turned around, took the handkerchief, and threw it in the trash can not far away.
***
"Come back so soon?"
Seeing Xie Shi come in, the man put down the book in his hand and looked over in surprise.
In his opinion, when young people talk about love, they are sticky and sticky, but Xie Shi and Zheng Ying have been alone for less than ten minutes, right
The handsome young man stepped forward without saying a word, and hugged Xie Mu's body before Xie Mu's reaction froze for a moment.
Xie Mu wanted to push it away, but the young man put his head firmly in his arms, rubbing against him like a small animal, "Uncle, Zheng Ying and I broke up."
The man's hand on his shoulder froze.
He was a little confused, "Why did you break up? Did you quarrel?"
"I'm busy with company affairs, so I don't have much time to spend with her. She got angry and broke up with me." The young man said in a sullen tone, successfully making Xie Mu feel sorry for him.
The man gently patted his nephew on the back, and persuaded him gently, "Girls should be pampered, not to mention that Zheng Ying was spoiled by her parents since she was a child, so it's normal to need someone to accompany her. You should apologize to her and coax her alright."
"I don't want to coax her, so let's break up."
Xie Mu took it for granted that what Xie Shi said was angry, and he said softly, "When couples quarrel, one of them must bow his head. You are a man, let the girl buy a gift for Zheng Ying. Let her have a step down."
"It's not easy for you to get together, and Zheng Ying is a good girl, so don't be arrogant."
Xie Shi's head leaning against the man's arms moved, his eyes sank, and he raised his body slightly, "Uncle thinks Zheng Ying is a good girl?"
"yes."
Xie Mu smiled, "Although I don't get along with her much, I can see that she is straightforward, although her personality is arrogant but still very kind, not to mention that she likes you so much, if you coax her, she will soon stop will be angry."
"Uncle likes Zheng Ying so much, if it wasn't for me, would you have married her in the future?"
The man didn't expect the topic to jump to this question. He was a little confused at first, then he consciously figured out something, and showed a helpless smile a little funny.
"She was only eighteen years old when she got engaged, and she didn't understand anything. I regarded her as a junior. Even if there was no such thing as you, I would still break the engagement."
"Okay, hurry up and buy some gifts to coax her, girls need to be coaxed."
Xie Shi's eyes were dark, but there was a smile on his face, "Okay, I'll listen to my uncle."
When Xie Mu denied it, he did not have the slightest affection for Zheng Ying in his eyes, but the unreasonable anger in Xie Shi's heart became even heavier.
He didn't understand why he had desires for this old man.
But since it has happened, let’s be satisfied.
that night
Xie Shi came to Xie Mu's room with the medicine as usual.
"Uncle, I've taken some medicine."
The man didn't become suspicious, took the medicine bowl, and drank it up spoon by spoonful.
Xie Shi took the empty bowl and smiled at him before leaving, "Good night, uncle."
Xie Mu also smiled, looking at him with the gentleness that only belongs to the elders looking at the younger ones, "Good night."
The young man turned off the light and went out. Xie Mu lay on the bed, stroking the prayer beads on his wrist, and slowly closed his eyes.
An hour later, the lights were turned on, and Xie Shi walked in.
He looked at the man sleeping on the bed, slowly took off Xie Mu's clothes as if peeling off his present.
Until, completely naked.
