"Oh, oh..." The waiter, who was used to seeing beautiful women, blushed at Tang Xiaoxiao's smile. He hurriedly ran to place an order in despair, secretly sighing in his heart, what a peerless beauty...
Looking at the waiter's back, Tang Xiaoxiao had a faint smile on his lips, but he held the cup tightly with both hands and said nothing.
The two of them were just silent, relatively speechless, and no one spoke.
"Xiaoxiao..." Yu Lingye finally opened his mouth, hesitated, and asked softly, "Xiaoxiao, are you really that unwilling to marry me? I thought... it was time for us to talk about marriage. , but your reaction tells me that you have never thought of marrying me."
Tang Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment, and finally lowered his head gently, "I'm sorry, Yu Lingye. I thought I liked you very much, and I thought I could live happily with you, but the closer I got, the more my heart wandered. Yuan, I don’t know if I am just greedy for your tenderness, or if I have long forgotten this feeling... "
"Why are you going further and further away?" Yu Lingye gently rubbed the center of his brow and said with some annoyance and pain.
"Because we shouldn't be together." Tang Xiaoxiao's lips curved with a self-deprecating arc, "I'm sorry, Yu Lingye, when I promised you before, maybe I was just greedy for your tenderness and pampering, or maybe I just made up for the past. My regret was that I was too selfish... But as we got closer, I suddenly felt that it was a mistake for us to be together."
With a bang, Yu Lingye's fist hit the table, "-We are together, how could it be a mistake?! How could we go further and further away?!"
"We stand from two different perspectives of interests, and have different family environments and educations... This gap is bound to arise." Tang Xiaoxiao slowly organized the words and phrases to explain to Yu Lingye.
Yu Lingye shook his head silently and directly interrupted Tang Xiaoxiao's explanation, "No, this is an excuse. I want to hear the truth."
Tang Xiaoxiao opened his mouth and finally fell silent.
"Since you want to hear the truth, I will tell you." Tang Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of guilt and apology, "I used to think that the feeling I had for you was love. But I was really wrong. It turns out that it’s not called love at all, it’s called a confidant... After I’m with you, I don’t feel any heartbeat, it’s as ordinary as my left hand holding my right hand, that’s not love at all.”
"What else?" Yu Lingye stared at Tang Xiaoxiao with burning eyes.
"And..." Tang Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly, but cast a firm gaze on Yu Lingye and asked in a low voice, "What if I say that one day I want you to leave the country with me, settle abroad, and give up the so-called national interests? , would you agree to give up everything here and never come back?"
Yu Lingye's face changed and he almost shouted, "Are you kidding?! You are the leader of a national enterprise, a public figure, symbolizing a flag and benchmark for Chinese national enterprises! If even you immigrated to Foreign countries, if this flag falls, it will have a bad impact on the Chinese economy and how much turmoil it will bring to the Chinese economy - have you ever thought about it?!"
Seeing Yu Lingye's reaction, Tang Xiaoxiao raised a mocking smile, her eyes filled with understanding.
"Xiaoxiao... you'd better give up such an idea!" Yu Lingye looked solemn and solemn, and suddenly grabbed Tang Xiaoxiao's wrist, "Xiaoxiao, promise me not to do this, and stay in the country to develop, okay? ?If you have any difficulties in the country, I will help you... I am asking you to ask for this, okay?! You should know that I am a soldier, and more importantly an agent. I don’t want to one day, because of this matter , we turned against each other, and even...received orders from Shangfeng and personally..."
"How about your own hands?" Tang Xiaoxiao pushed Yu Lingye's wrist away, but the bitterness in her heart was already overflowing. She looked at the dance floor where the demons were dancing with a distant look, "I'm just talking about a possibility. If it really fails in the future, Since there is no place for me in China anymore, I will choose to go abroad secretly, completely disappear from the eyes of the public, and never come back again... "
"I know the domestic rules. As a banner of the national economy, our Tang family has long been labeled as one who cannot leave. Once we leave, it will inevitably have an indelible impact on the domestic situation and even give excuses to foreign forces. Criticizing domestic political power and domestic human rights..."
As he spoke, Tang Xiaoxiao held the bottle of vodka in his hand, raised his head and took a sip. His eyes suddenly became moist, and he put his hand on his heart, "I love this country, I love this land, and I also love the people here." Everything, if any war breaks out now, I am even willing to take up the gun and defend this country with my own life! But... please tell me, Yu Lingye, once the confrontation between the rich and powerful families fails, our Tang family Is there any chance of living?"
"I didn't want to participate in the competition among these wealthy families. I wanted to pursue my dreams carefree like an ordinary girl. I wanted to stand on the highest stage and become the best female director of this century. An indelible icon for a century. But please tell me, can I?!"
"Living in a wealthy family, if I really expect to be carefree... then I am a complete fool! Living in such an environment, if I don't fight for it and just covet a peaceful and indifferent life, then I will There is only one ending - death!"
A line of tears flowed down her cheeks, and Tang Xiaoxiao raised her head and took another sip of vodka, "Yu Lingye, I have done so much... I just want to control my own destiny, I just want to live a carefree life, - am I wrong? ?!”
"Going abroad is just because I want to survive... You don't even give me a chance to survive? Yu Lingye... you are so cruel..."
Yu Lingye was silent, and suddenly he gently grabbed Tang Xiaoxiao's hand with his backhand, "Xiaoxiao, marry me, and you won't have to think about these things. You won't have to leave your hometown and choose to go abroad, and you won't have to embarrass me. I will protect you. You, let you live a carefree life... Give up your dream of being a queen, wouldn't it be good to be an ordinary and happy wife?"
Tang Xiaoxiao threw away Yu Lingye's hand, her cheeks were full of crimson, she looked at Yu Lingye with blurred eyes, and murmured, "Yu Lingye... you are so hypocritical, you can say such a thing Come."
"I want to reach the top and step onto the throne of the queen. I don't want to dominate other people's lives and futures. I just want to control my own destiny! If I was really forced to marry you in a daze, let you Come to protect me and let you become everything to me. Is this called taking control of my own destiny and controlling my own life?! - I am taking control of my own destiny and letting you control it!"
"What's more, please tell me, why do you protect me? No family can always win in the struggle for hegemony between wealthy families. Once the Yu family fails, what are you going to use to protect me? Say something ugly. , without your grandfather, although there will be a short period of peace and tranquility in the short term, but when the shadow of Mr. Yu dissipates, there will be no one in the Yu family who stands out, and self-protection will become a problem... Who can you protect? "
Yu Lingye clenched his fists tightly and wanted to open his mouth to refute her words, but when he opened his mouth, no words came out.
Although Tang Xiaoxiao's words were heartbreaking, they were definitely a wake-up call and almost made him wake up from the glitz in front of him instantly...
The Yu family is a military family. In the midst of numerous factions and armies, the reason why they can maintain their aloofness today is not only due to the connections of the Yu family, but also because of the clear banner of Mr. Yu! It is no exaggeration to say that among the many members of the Military Commission today, almost one-third were born under Mr. Yu, and generally they have received favors from Mr. Yu!
With Mr. Yu, the Yu family can certainly be safe and sound, but what if Mr. Yu is gone? No matter how great the favor and friendship are, they will all be scattered by the wind. Without the support of these new big guys, who will give the Yu family a way to survive
Although the Yu family has many heirs, most of them are good at keeping their own business and not enough in pioneering. They are used to being straight-laced in the army. How can there be so many twists and turns that they can defeat their opponents and preserve the family in such a dangerous struggle between rich and powerful families? !
For the first time, Yu Lingye realized deeply that the Yu family was no longer the first family of the past... Without a strong heir, the Yu family would probably decline rapidly and eventually be forced to death by its competitors.
Thinking of this, Yu Lingye suddenly raised his head slowly. He seemed to understand something, and finally understood why his grandfather threatened his life to marry Tang Xiaoxiao into the family in a short time...
Because, Tang Xiaoxiao is the most suitable person to deal with the struggle of the family and control the family!
Grandpa wants to hand over the entire Yu family's future to her...
Tang Xiaoxiao raised her head and poured vodka into the bottle mouth by mouth, as if she wanted to pour out the tiredness and tears in her heart from this drunkenness...
On the one hand, it is her most respected and beloved father, and her confidant and lover, for whom she feels guilty, and on the other hand, her own life and dreams... Who can tell her how to choose this multiple-choice question? !
"Waiter, another bottle of Erguotou." Tang Xiaoxiao greeted the waiter on the side with flushed cheeks and blurred eyes.
The waiter glanced at Tang Xiaoxiao worriedly, and then secretly glanced at Yu Lingye sitting on the other side. He swallowed, secretly envious of Yu Lingye's good luck, and silently went to the bar to get a bottle of vodka. come over.
Well, their bar really doesn’t have domestic products like Erguotou...
Opening the lid, Tang Xiaoxiao picked up the bottle and poured it in. The entire bottle of vodka was poured into her stomach in half a minute.
When Yu Lingye came to his senses, Tang Xiaoxiao was already lying on the table drunk and unconscious.
This was the third time Tang Xiaoxiao fell drunk in front of Yu Lingye.
