Lu Qisheng is a man who keeps his word.
After agreeing to Xue Xue, he soon visited the Xue family in Huaibei.
Unfortunately, when Lu Qisheng came, Xue Xue just went to find Xue Mao and Wang Xiaolan. When she got home and heard Lin Xiyun mention it, she knew that the three men were talking about business in the study.
"The marriage contract is over."
Xue Xue, who was going to go upstairs, listened to Lin Xiyun's words and paused.
When he turned around, he saw Lin Xiyun looking at him with a complicated expression.
What Xue Mingzhu did was undoubtedly a huge blow to Lin Xiyun. The woman visibly lost weight. Although she still maintained her dignified ladylike attitude in front of others, her depleted spirit made her see it. Woke up a few years older.
The same situation also fell on Xue Mengwu.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, he could also see the clues from the splendid hair growing between his temples and his gradually hunched back.
After all, it is her daughter who has cherished her for so many years. Even if what she does is chilling, it is impossible to just let it go.
Xue Xue understands but is not sympathetic.
After all, the fact that Xue Mingzhu became so selfish has a lot to do with the doting of Xue Mengwu and Lin Xiyun.
In the face of Xue Xuebo's unbearable eyes, Lin Xiyun's heart choked at first, and then suddenly felt a little sad and wronged.
The mixed emotions rushed up, causing the woman's face to twist slightly.
"That's good." She smiled. "That paper marriage contract shouldn't exist in the first place."
This is a fact.
Xue Xue knew it, and so did Lin Xiyun.
However, seeing the girl in front of her, who was 70% similar to when she was young, but who was less flamboyant and more free and easy, Lin Xiyun suddenly felt a pain in her heart.
The menacing yet fleeting emotions vanished before she could realize it.
Only the chest became empty.
"Is there anything else?" Facing Lin Xiyun's hesitant words, Xue Xue's expression was very calm. "If it's okay, I'll go up first."
Seeing that Lin Xiyun was still staring at himself, Xue Xue simply stopped wasting time and turned to go upstairs.
"Lu Qisheng is a good candidate." Lin Xiyun's voice came after she walked two stairs. "I don't know why you are so reluctant to be with him. Is it because he is the person we want you to marry, so you have to resist?"
Lin Xiyun's words were straightforward and his tone was sharp, but he had genuine doubts and no malice.
Therefore, Xue Xue did not interrupt her, but listened to her continue: "Your adoptive parents have indeed raised you well, but it is not in the field of vision. You must know that looking at the entire Huaicheng, Lu Qisheng may have various aspects. It's not the top one, but considering it comprehensively, he can rank in the top three even if he doesn't say number one."
"You only care about remembering hatred, but you never calm down and think about it."
"It's just wrong, it's wrong, isn't it good..."
"not good."
Lin Xiyun was stunned.
Xue Xue turned to face her again, but this time she was no longer indifferent, her eyes were full of... pity.
At the moment when this thought passed by, Lin Xiyun only felt extremely absurd.
"you… "
"Maybe you think you can make mistakes in life, but I don't want to." Xue Xue paused. "Whether it's love or family, the traces that have been broken will not disappear just because they pretend to be invisible."
So people can only bravely face the reality that is not so perfect.
Even if it will be painful.
This is what Xue Xue meant, but Lin Xiyun's face turned pale because of this sentence.
She intuitively felt that Xue Xue was mocking her.
He satirized her marriage, satirized her lack of knowledge, satirized her self-deception, used self anesthesia and self-comfort, and lived this so-called second life in confusion.
Xue Xue knew what Lin Xiyun was thinking at a glance.
Although she didn't mean it that way, and didn't want to explain anything.
"Don't let others suffer, don't persuade others to be kind." Eyelashes fell, Xue Xue finally said: "Your choice is not necessarily wrong, but you are not me, and you cannot make decisions for my life based on your feelings."
That is actually a kind of selfishness, a kind of forced sales.
It's just a decent package with the words "for your own good".
The essence does not change.
Seeing Lin Xiyun leaving in despair, Xue Xue's eyes moved and he almost blurted out to stop him.
But at the last moment she held back.
Having said that, it is up to Lin Xiyun to figure it out.
When Xue Ci knocked on the door, Xue Xue was sorting her clothes.
Hearing the voice, she asked casually, "Who?"
"It's me." The warm baritone is highly recognizable. "Is it convenient to go in now?"
Looking at his messy room, Xue Xue thought about it and went to open the door for Xue Ci.
"It's a little messy."
She was vaccinated in advance.
Xue Ci smiled and didn't care.
It was only after he entered the room that he realized that "a little messy" in the other's mouth was not just a polite joke.
In addition to the clothes stacked on the bed, the floor was filled with all kinds of shoes and bags, and even the cosmetics on the dresser were put away to make room for the dazzling jewelry.
People who don't know will think that Xue Xue is preparing to move.
"Mom probably bought these." Picking up the shirts on the small sofa and putting them on the bed, Xue Xue reluctantly moved out a place so that Xue Ci could sit down. "I don't need a lot of things, and it's a pity that the brand new ones are left in ashes, so I plan to tidy them up and put them on an online auction."
She explained: "Then donate that money in Mom's name to those in need."
