The old man looked the ugliest, and glared at Bai Yeqing unhappily, "I'm going to be pissed off to death by you sooner or later!"
The old lady put her hands on his arms and said in a low voice, "There are countless eyes watching here. If you have any anger, go back and vent it."
The old man snorted, endured the pain, and got back into the car.
No matter what, at least this time the incident was resolved safely, which can be considered a blessing in disguise.
After the four elders got in the car, Xia Xingchen stood there and looked at him. He gave her a reassuring look, leaning his long arms on the door, looking at her from top to bottom, "Get in the car, let them wait for me for dinner tonight."
“…Okay.” He nodded obediently.
"And..." Bai Yeqing leaned over, his charming face approaching her, "Tell me the truth about what happened between you and Lan Ye when I get back."
Xia Xingchen was embarrassed for a moment.
This guy is really smart! Is there anything that escapes his eyes
The two of them didn't say anything else. She leaned over and got into the car. The car went to Zhongshan.
She was in the third car, and besides the driver, she was the only one there. Xia Xingchen was somewhat relieved that she didn't have to face the elders so soon. However, when she thought about their relationship, which was like a glutinous dough, she became uneasy again, with all kinds of emotions entangled and unable to calm down.
The cell phone rang at this moment.
She glanced at the screen and saw it was Lan Ye. Her heart skipped a beat, but she finally answered the call.
"I knew you wouldn't do what you said." Lan Ye's voice came from the other end, very cold.
Xia Xingchen just cast his gaze out the window.
She couldn't ignore the pure heart of a man. Moreover, that man was the one she loved so much.
"I didn't want to embarrass you, but you broke your promise first. I will fight for the man I want with all my remaining strength!" Lan Ye's words were firm, just like her feelings for Bai Yeqing.
Xia Xingchen knew that he had a serious rival in love, which could be seen from the fact that Xia Xingkong changed his confession.
Compared to Song Weiyi, her methods are probably not much weaker. The scars under Xia Xingkong's gauze must be her masterpiece. Xia Xingkong has always been proud of her face. It is only natural that she leans towards Ye Qing after being coerced by Lan Ye.
"Xia Xingkong's place..."
"It has nothing to do with you. I did this for Ye Qing."
Xia Xingchen didn't say anything else, and Lan Ye hung up the phone. Staring at the gradually darkening screen, Xia Xingchen felt a little uneasy. She didn't know what Lan Ye meant by the last words, so she just leaned against the car window, closed her eyes, and stopped thinking about it.
Now that everything is settled, she should feel relieved.
… … … … …
Bai Suye has arrived inside Zhongshan Mountain.
Everyone knew that the President was out of danger today, and their nervousness eased. In the kitchen, they started preparing dinner early.
Aunt Lin also smiled. As she took the old man's coat, she said, "Now, everyone can rest assured. I told you that Mr. President would have a solution!"
The old man didn't reply, and his face still didn't look very good.
Xia Xingchen did not follow them upstairs, but got out of the car with Mr. Bai and Madam Lanting in the small building below.
The two men were obviously worried about her marriage to Bai Yeqing. They walked slowly in front of her, looking very worried and didn't say anything.
Xia Xingchen hadn't slept well in the past few days. Now that everything was done, he felt tired and sleepy, so he said goodbye to the two elders and went back to his room to sleep.
Even if the two wanted to say something else, seeing how tired she looked, they couldn't bear it. In the end, they sighed and allowed her to rest.
After days of worry, Xia Xingchen finally settled down and slept very deeply.
She had a dream, a simple but romantic wedding...
There were no other unnecessary people in the quiet church.
Apart from both parents, only Dabai...
On the red carpet, she walked towards him slowly in a white wedding dress. She put her hand in his and listened to his vows. She was so sweet that she smiled even in her dreams. But just when she was about to say "I do", the door of the church was suddenly opened.
The influx of media and angry masses, like a flood, shattered the tranquility and sweetness.
The church was vandalized, the wedding dress was torn, the bouquet was smashed to pieces...
The man who was once a shining star and had an outstanding demeanor was surrounded by a crowd, being cursed and questioned...
No!
She doesn't want him to become like this!
Nighthawk...
She wants him to be well, always well!
"Xingchen?" She was startled when her shoulder was shaken and sat up suddenly.
After a while, I realized that everything that just happened was just a dream.
But that dream was so real.
It was so real that it frightened her.
"Did you have a nightmare?" Mrs. Lanting was sitting beside her bed.
She took a breath and nodded.
"You've been too nervous lately. But it's all over, so don't think too much about it." Mrs. Lanting comforted her.
After knowing it was just a dream, her mood gradually calmed down.
"Mom, what time is it now?"
"It's past five." Lan Ting said, "Now that you're awake, get up, wash up, and get ready for dinner."
Xia Xingchen nodded.
Thinking of something, he looked at his wife again, "Have you... and father ever considered getting back together?"
When Lan Ting mentioned this, his expression darkened. After a while, he said, "I have just discussed this with your father - we..."
She paused before continuing: "I don't plan to be together again..."
The last few words were spoken in a light and heavy voice, with suppressed emotions.
As soon as he spoke, his voice became a little hoarse.
Xia Xingchen felt a pang of pain in his heart when he heard this.
"Why?" she asked, looking at her mother's sad face with a searching gaze. "Dad really loves you. Have you seen his album? The whole album is full of you... And, I can see that you obviously still love him very much."
"Xingchen, in this world, just because two people love each other doesn't mean they have to be together. We are old now and we can't be selfish."
Xia Xingchen suddenly understood something, and clenched her fingers slightly, with her fingertips turning white.
"You two... gave up being together because of me and Ye Qing?"
Lan Ting sighed and did not answer. He just said, "Don't think about anything. Get up quickly."
After saying that, he got up and went out.
Xia Xingchen looked at the sad figure and suddenly felt a tight pain in her chest.
They were not together, so even if her identity was exposed one day, the two of them could deny it out loud. Otherwise, if someone found out, there would be no room for maneuver.
By then, she and Ye Qing would inevitably be pushed to the forefront again.
so…
They are selfish...
The two elders have been separated for more than 20 years, and have been lonely for more than 20 years. Now... they are over 50 years old, but they still cannot achieve their goals because of them.
