Sitting on the sofa, Xia Shao raised her eyebrows and raised the corners of her lips when she heard Xu Yanshao mentioning Feng Shui fortune. _!~;
Xu Yanshao suddenly felt his face burning. Hua Fang lowered his eyes and pulled the corners of his mouth hard into an ugly smile. Only Xu Tianzhe did not smile. He frowned, with worry and anxiety in his eyes, and looked at Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin sitting on the sofa.
Xu Tianyin said nothing, but Xia Shao did not let the atmosphere cool down. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Xu Yanshao, "Oh? Commissioner Xu has something to consult about Feng Shui?"
Xia Shao surprisingly did not take the opportunity to be sarcastic, but her words made Hua Fang's face tighten even more. Xu Yanshao had already said that he was asking her to do "us" a favor, but Hua Fang was obviously not included in her question.
Xu Yanshao felt that since Xia Shao was willing to accept this sentence, there was room for change. Even if she is only willing to help herself, as long as she can help, the matter can be discussed with her.
"Uh..." Xu Yanshao rubbed his hands, feeling a little embarrassed. Now Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin are sitting on the sofa opposite, and their family of three is still standing. Although there was a sofa behind them and they could sit down, he, a member of the Republic, did not expect that tonight he would be reduced to the point where he had to ask a junior to let him sit before he dared to sit down.
Born in the Xu family, have you ever experienced the feeling of asking for help? I finally found out tonight!
"Please have a seat." Xia Shao smiled and didn't say who he wanted to sit. Xu Yanshao's family of three took the opportunity to sit down.
After sitting down, Xia Shao stopped talking. The atmosphere was silent, so silent that Xu Yanshao became embarrassed again and didn't know what to say next.
At this time, Xia Shao smiled and said, "Commissioner Xu's eyes are blue and bloodshot, his eyes are dull, and his face is haggard. I must have been mentally depressed recently and suffered from nightmares?"
Xu Yanshao was startled, and Hua Fang also raised his eyes. Xu Tianzhe looked a little strange. He always felt that his parents had always seen hallucinations in the past, and his mother's self-mutilation and recent nightmares were all related to Xia Shao. He had seen Xia Shao's weird ability. She could even kill someone in a car accident without finding out the problem, let alone doing this. So during the Chinese New Year, he had been persuading his parents to come and apologize to Xia Shao. However, his parents did not have a good year either. They were woken up by nightmares on New Year's Eve. After the first day of the new year, they finally couldn't stand it any longer. Today I just came to Dongshi without telling everyone.
From the perspective of Xu Yanshao and Hua Fang, they came to ask Xia Shao for help in Feng Shui. But in Xu Tianzhe's view, this actually means that the person who untied the bell must also tie it.
Xu Tianzhe has not mentioned Xia Shao's strange methods to his parents until now. He was afraid that with his parents' temper, they would be even more noisy if they knew it was Xia Shao who did it. This won't solve the problem, it will only make it worse. Although he had never met Xia Shao, Xu Tianzhe knew her temperament. This girl, who looks calm and elegant, is actually decisive and quick-thinking. No matter how high their parents' status is, they will not have any advantage when meeting her. Apologize and shake hands to make peace, this is the best solution.
Otherwise, Xu Tianzhe believes that his parents will suffer endless hardships.
In the face of absolute force, conspiracy has no effect.
I don't know why, but this sentence suddenly crossed Xu Tianzhe's mind.
"Commissioner Xu may have heard of an old saying, if you don't do anything bad, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door." Xia Shaodi said. She knew that Xu Tianzhe must have known that she had done this, but she sat calmly on the sofa without even looking at him.
How could Xu Yanshao's family not understand what this meant? Xu Yanshao smiled uncomfortably, "Haha, Xiaoxia, you are still angry about that matter! That matter was done by uncle and aunt unethically. During this period, we have also reviewed it and feel that it is indeed There is something wrong. Let’s do this. We will apologize to you! You should also forgive your uncle and aunt for once. After all, we are all a family from now on. We will not see each other when we look up, so why bother? Isn’t it? "
"Oh? A family? Do Commissioner Xu and Deputy Director Hua treat me as a family this time?" Xia Shao raised her eyebrows and smiled. |i^
Xu Yanshao was stunned for a moment. Hua Fang glanced at her husband, and Xu Yanshao smiled, "What did you kid say? When I had dinner with your family just now, wasn't my uncle's attitude very clear?"
It can be said that Xu Yanshao facilitated the engagement of Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin. He said this, of course, the implication was that he hoped Xia Shao would help out of consideration for this matter.
Xia Shao didn't even move her brows, she just smiled and said nothing.
Her attitude was really confusing. Xu Tianzhe looked on anxiously, and couldn't help but help his father and said: "Sister-in-law, my parents have done a great job in helping you and your eldest brother to get married tonight. My dad is right. Yes, we are all a family from now on, for this reason, please help me."
Hua Fang's back stiffened, and she turned to look at her son, seemingly shocked by what he called Xia Shao. She didn't really realize until now that when Xia Shao married into the Xu family, her son would have to call her sister-in-law. And she is eight years younger than her son!
Xia Shao's eyes were cold and he glanced at Xu Tianzhe. Just a glance made Xu Tianzhe's heart skip a beat, and he felt like he had said the wrong thing.
But Xia Shao just glanced at him and didn't say much to him. Instead, he turned his eyes and glanced at Xu Yanshao and Hua Fang. He didn't smile this time, but just pointed to the side, "Family? Then he is?" ?”
Xu Yanshao was stunned and looked at Xu Tianyin. Xu Tianyin was turning to look at Xia Shao. The man in the room looked sideways and his eyes seemed to move.
"Of course it is!" Xu Yanshao was laughing when he said this, feeling that Xia Shao's question made no sense.
"But I haven't heard Commissioner Xu or Deputy Director Hua apologize to him since just now." Xia Shao's eyes turned completely cold this time, "In this matter, I am the only victim. Am I right? He is not?"
Xu Yanshao and Hua Fang were stunned. Xu Tianzhe's face changed slightly and he was a little nervous. He knew how much Xia Shao valued Xu Tianyin. It seemed like his parents didn't have a good start tonight.
"If you hadn't asked me for help, I wouldn't have been able to see Commissioner Xu and Deputy Director Hua tonight, right? I really admire you. People who are beneficial to you can get your apology. People you don't need are It can be ignored." Xia Shao's eyes were angry, and he glanced at Xu Yanshao and Hua Fang, "Who is your family? He is! It's not me you're plotting against, it's his sweetheart! It's not me you're framing, if not He, you didn’t have a chance to harm me. If you harmed me, you wouldn’t have a chance to live until now. It has always been him. Because of him, you were able to enter my Xia family’s family dinner tonight and sit here to talk to me. . However, he has always been the one ignored by you. Until now, he is your relative, but he has not even received an apology. "
Xu Yanshao and Hua Fang sat blankly on the sofa, their eyes staring straight. The two people had different reactions to Xia Shao's words. Xu Yanshao was concerned about the first half and felt that these words were too big. He is a member of the Republic. Are you saying that he has no chance of surviving until now? how? Does she still want to kill someone
Hua Fang's face turned red and white. She and her husband came to the Xia family's family dinner tonight. Could it be that she didn't originally intend to let anyone in? Can she still beat them out? Xu Yanshao is a committee member! She is the deputy director, and her son is also the mayor! If the three of them went to an ordinary people's home, I don't know how excited the other party would be. How dare a family like the Xia family kick them out
Only Xu Tianzhe heard the important point, and his expression suddenly changed. Only he knew that Xia Shao's words were not empty words, she could really do it!
"Brother..." Xu Tianzhe stood up. Just as he was about to say something to Xu Tianyin, Xia Shao also stood up.
"Let's go, my parents are still waiting outside. You have a stomachache today, so go back and rest early." Xia Shao helped Xu Tianyin up.
"Yeah." Xu Tianyin responded, his voice was deep and a little tired. He lowered his eyes and did not look at the family of three. He just held Xia Shao's hand tightly, and the two stood up and walked out.
Xu Yanshao and Hua Fang also stood up. Both of them looked unhappy and anxious.
"Wait! Wait!" Xu Yanshao called from behind. Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin turned a deaf ear and walked out together. When they reached the door, they heard Xu Yanshao's majestic scolding from behind, "Everyone, stop!"
Xia Shao stopped and turned around, his eyes cold.
Xu Yanshao stood in the room, his face ashen and his eyes majestic. The majesty of having held a high position for so many years is by no means accumulated, but the moment Xu Yanshao's eyes collided with Xia Shao's, he collapsed, and he sighed heavily with anger and helplessness, "You young people... Ah! If you are unreasonable and unforgiving, you don’t know that your elders can sometimes be embarrassed."
Xia Shao said nothing.
Xu Yanshao waved to the two of them, "Come here, come here! Sit back! Let's talk if you have anything to say! Don't we just want to talk? Talk!"
Xia Shao raised her eyes and looked at Xu Tianyin. Xu Tianyin pursed his lips, held her hand tightly, and looked at the ground with distressing eyes. Xia Shao smiled, squeezed his hand, and led him over.
Family love has always been his injury. Let’s see if Xu Yanshao can’t let go of his dignity this time.
Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin sat back down again, but neither of them spoke. Xu Yanshao helped his wife sit down and also asked his son to sit down. After he sat down, he looked at the two of them for a while and sighed, "Oh! Times have really changed..."
After Xu Yanshao sighed, he didn't speak for a long time. The atmosphere was silent. After a long while, he finally spoke. The voice was very calm, "You guys, just think about the relationship. You don't even think about whether your family backgrounds are so different, whether they are suitable for each other. People of our generation, when they got married, who considered the relationship? The family needs it, and the temperament is also suitable. , just get married like this, can’t we live a lifetime?”
Xia Shao disagreed with this, but she did not express her opinion and only listened to what Xu Yanshao had to say.
Xu Yanshao raised his eyes and looked at Xia Shao. The fake smile and polite words were finally gone from his face, and he said: "Xiao Xia, since Tianyin brought you to the Xu family, a lot of things have happened between us. We have opinions about you. , you also have opinions on us. Not to mention the reasons for your opinions on us, you should also understand our opinions on you. Your family background is very different from that of the Xu family. You are a capable young man, and we I know. If it weren't for your relationship with Tianyin, I might appreciate such a young man. But you are not helpful to the Xu family. Huaxia Group is very strong and has a bright future. I understand this. But with the status of the Xu family, There is no need for political and business marriage, which is why I am against you. You can say that we are powerful, but the Xu family is in a high place and has difficulties in being in a high place. From the outside, the Xu family looks great. You are the helmsman of Huaxia Group , you should know what kind of pressure is behind the great scenery. When you stand at this height, you can only look forward! Either go higher, or maintain it, but you cannot retreat. If you take a step back, you may What we are facing is a huge flood.”
"I don't know if you understand what I say. It is power that has pushed the Xu family to today's height. The only thing that can keep the Xu family is power! The reason why your Huaxia Group is as high as it is today is Because you have strong assets. If you want to keep your career, you can only have stronger assets! Who doesn't want to look forward? You don't? If you want to, why can't we?" Xu Yanshao looked at Xia Shao and saw her hanging her head. With his eyes silent and unable to tell what he was thinking, he sighed again, "We have our position against you. But in this matter, Tianyin has indeed been wronged."
Xu Tianyin sat on the sofa without raising his head or speaking. But Xia Shao knew that when he heard these words, his body trembled and he held her hand tightly.
Xu Yanshao turned his gaze to Xu Tianyin with complicated eyes. When he entered the Xia family's banquet tonight, although he felt embarrassed, he still smiled and faced Xia Shao. Only Xu Tianyin didn't know how to treat him. But Xu has experienced troubles that he has never experienced in his life these days, and he is feeling depressed. In addition, he drank some wine tonight, so since he started talking, he just poured out the words.
"Tianyin, don't blame your uncle for doing some unethical things. I don't know what your parents would think of you and Xiaoxia if they were still here. I can only say that from the perspective of our generation, you Joining the army, there are many wealthy families in the Military Commission may be more suitable for you. You and Xiaoxia may have seen each other right for a while. Even if you are separated, it will only be uncomfortable for a while, and it will be fine in the future." Xu Yanshao said this with a bitter smile. He said, somewhat self-deprecatingly, "Of course, that's what I thought. But it seems that I underestimated the determination of the two of you to be together."
When Xu Yanshao mentioned Xu Tianyin's parents, Xu Tianyin's emotions obviously tended to explode. Xia Shao held his hand, and sure enough, when Xu Yanshao finished speaking, Xu Tianyin's mood calmed down a bit.
Xu Yanshao sighed and said in a very emotional tone, "The Xu family received comfort from the state in dealing with your parents' matter back then. You were young, and these comforts fell on me, your aunt, and your aunt. The old man felt that we Having received the favor from your parents, I should treat you well in every possible way. But Tianyin, are we not treating you well? I am your biological uncle!"
When Xu Yanshao said this, he became a little excited and slapped the table directly, "I just value the interests of the Xu family. You are a child of the Xu family, so you have a share of the interests! Your parents left early, and I don't want to help Will my eldest brother keep this single seedling? All I can think of is that the Xu family is taller, your background is stronger, and your road in the military world will be smoother! Of course, if you are better, the Xu family will be better. But we are good If you do, you will be better off! This is family! That’s all I can think of! But I didn’t expect that it’s not what you want. I tried to help you get rid of it, but your reaction would be so big!”
Hua Fang turned her head and looked at her husband. I never knew that he still had such thoughts in his heart? He never told her.
Xu Yanshao was indeed moved with true emotion. His eyes were red and he was so excited that he couldn't hold it back. "When your father passed away, I was still working in the local area and did not have such a high status now. Your father was the eldest son at the time. As soon as he passed away, among the three generations of the Xu family, you were only three years old, Tianzhe was not born, and your aunt was not married yet. Your grandfather and I were the backbone of the Xu family. I didn’t fight, and I didn’t care about the benefits. Who would care at that time? The Xu family was hit the hardest when it happened, just in time for the change of leadership and the most complicated critical period of factional fighting. I have personally experienced the hardships of the Xu family... "
Xu Yanshao hasn't mentioned what happened back then for a long time, and even Xu Tianzhe hasn't heard of it for many years. But Hua Fang knew very well what happened back then. She had just married into the Xu family at that time, and experienced the ups and downs that almost overturned.
Xu Yanshao wiped his face, "So don't think that your uncle only cares about interests now and has nothing in his eyes. I also have things I want to keep. You don't hesitate to draw a gun on your uncle to save your feelings. I want to save the Xu family's He doesn’t hesitate to do those things despite his status!”
When Xu Yanshao said this, he seemed to be discouraged. He sat on the sofa and listened as if he was talking to himself, "However, it may be that after so many years, I am used to focusing on interests, so I didn't understand how important family is to you. How important it is. Also, you haven't been at home since you were a child, and us elders can't give you anything... You finally found it by yourself, and I want to break it up for you... No wonder you think it doesn't matter without us elders. "
"However, through this incident, my uncle also knows how determined you are. Although I may be old and unable to change my mind, I always feel that you young people are blind and have impulses that do not consider reality, but since you We have fought so hard, what else can we say? The worst case..." Xu Yanshao smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "The worst case is that Xiaoxia's identity will be used to attack people in the future, and my uncle will take care of it. Who told me to go through it? After one time, the Xu family is on the verge of collapse, and I have gained experience. Anyway, I owe you money to your parents, and you have to pay it back. If I don’t give it to your dad, I will give it back to you. In fact, what the old man said makes sense. Your parents have sacrificed. There is no reason for you to sacrifice again. Although I thought that power would be better for you at first, and I didn’t have to worry too much, I wanted to test your limits again... But now it seems that it’s time to give up. Yes, you can’t always hide.”
Xu Tianyin was shocked and finally raised his head.
Xia Shao finally raised the corners of her lips and smiled.
"not necessarily."
