Chapter 135 Where's Your Chapter Answer?
As Liang Shiyi said, they came back that night.
I was still sitting on the hospital bed thinking about Liang Wenjing's situation, why Mrs. Xu hadn't mentioned such messy things as whether she was still on the road, and the door suddenly opened.
So if there is only one girl in the family, it is inconvenient. Don't these men know that they have to knock on the door before entering?
I swallowed the slot back and looked at the door.
Wu Xie is back.
I never thought that our reunion would be so sudden, without any notice or omen, he just appeared at the door, as if it was a very natural thing.
From the first chance encounter in the tomb of King Lu to the second meeting at the pier, our encounters after that have never been as natural as they are at the moment, so natural that I feel a little uncomfortable—we never met Friendships that started underground have extended above ground.
I squeezed the sheets and watched him walk in, close the door, and pull a chair to sit beside me.He seemed to have driven for a long time, looked travel-stained, and the hair on his forehead was a little messy.
"Want some water?" I poured him a glass from the thermos beside the bed.He took it politely and took a sip.
I leaned back on the pillow, let myself relax, and asked straight to the point, "Where have you been?"
"I went to see your grandfather."
I was stunned when I heard it: "Mr. Xu himself? You... went to Shanghai once?"
"He heard about you and rushed to Wuhan from Shanghai..."
"Huh?" I was even more surprised.
My grandfather Xu Zhanggong has always lived in seclusion since he got old.He would never accept the red and white invitations that came to him on weekdays, and he would just send a suitable person to replace him according to the importance of the matter.Among the descendants of the Xu family, the eldest son died relatively early, and the other daughters who were said to have not received his true biography, the only capable daughter, that is, my mother married into the Liang family, which he disliked the most. Among those grandchildren, only Xu Zhonglin He is the most beloved, and inheriting his mantle has long been acquiesced.So generally big things are taken care of by me, the eldest cousin of the Xu family.But this time it's not easy. Mr. Xu is almost 80 years old, and he traveled all the way from Shanghai to Wuhan. Could it be just to meet Wu Xie?
of course not.
The answer is that the boss of the Liang family also went.
In the same way, the old man of the Liang family has become a semi-ordained monk in the past few years. Except for family gatherings, he usually doesn't show his face in other things, and my brother does everything for him.But this time the incident was so big that someone dared to touch his granddaughter, and the younger generation in the family also participated in the kidnapping incident, how could he stand by and watch.
I shook my head and mourned Liang Shuang's future: "They all know about Liang Shuang? There really is no impenetrable wall."
"That Lu Mingyuan belongs to your grandfather. He used to cooperate with your family's Liang Wenjing very early on, so your grandfather knew about this from the very beginning. The situation in your family is quite complicated."
The corners of my mouth twitched, Liang Shuang, your calculations have come to nothing this time, and I still couldn’t go to explain to grandpa by myself, or in other words, when encountering such a major event, my right to speak at home is almost equal to zero.Who made me an unranked little third lady?In addition, Liang Wenjing, you also had a brain twitch this time, and you actually betrayed yourself. I guess the old man Liang also counted on you.
"Then what did he say when he saw you?" The key point came, and I was a little uneasy.
Wu Xie smiled helplessly at me: "To be straightforward, I offended your grandfather this time."
Seeing that he was not joking, my heart skipped a beat, and I sighed: "Wu Xie, Wu Xie, why don't I remember that you are that kind of bloody man? I really believe you are fat. Are you sure it's my grandfather and not me?" Grandpa?" Seeing him nodding, I asked again, "But how could you offend my grandfather, old man Xu is nicknamed 'Smiling God of Wealth', he is usually not angry, what are you talking about?"
Wu Xie rubbed his head: "I'm afraid my grandfather's generation is involved in this matter..."
I was confused: "Your grandpa?"
It turned out that the Wu family also had a troublesome old man.
Wu Xie's grandfather, nicknamed Wu Laogou, had a major event in the 50s, that is, the famous "Warring States Silk Book Case".Most of the local masters have heard of this incident, but I really didn't know that one of the instigators was the old man of Wu Xie's family!
Since I really don't know much about old man Xu's family background, I asked Wu Xie a few questions, and only then did I fully understand what was going on.
This seemingly long-awaited matter involved so much that all the Tufuzi in Changsha at that time were reshuffled, and the old nine sects have since disappeared.And this major case has no impact on Diaosi Liang Youdao, who has lost everything to gain a firm foothold in Shanghai, but it is a catastrophe for Xu Chengjiang, Jiangcheng, who has been running "Wanshenghang" for generations!
Before liberation, the Xu family was the largest dian merchant in Jiangcheng, and had already started to run the bank business. At the most glorious time, it was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Huizhou merchants, "the family has millions of assets, and dozens of dian shops", and the business has also achieved all the way to Xiangjiang. It is the Hunan area.Afterwards, the Xu family in the Jiangcheng became more and more lonely and gradually lost its former glory after the historical turmoil. However, the accumulation of nearly a century still left rich intellectual wealth to the descendants of the Xu family. People "see the goods with the palm of their hands" to live a prosperous life.During this period, it is natural to have contact with Tufuzi, not to mention that the Hunan area is the territory of Laojiumen, and the Xu family has accumulated a lot of contacts by looking at goods for Tufuzi.
It is conceivable that the case of Wu Laogou not only involved many local masters, but also involved all the people involved in the entire business chain.What's more, the Wu family's grandfather's Silk Book of the Warring States Period was not long after it was unearthed, so he gave it to the Xu family's "Second Uncle Xu" (the person who appraised the price in the pawn shop) to understand the situation.The Xu family's status at that time was not good, one can imagine how sad it would be to be put on such a thing.
According to Wu Xie, when his grandfather was mentioned, my grandfather's expression turned ugly.But at this time, the old man Liang, who had always disliked his in-laws, got excited, and said sarcastic words: "Xiao Wu, I don't blame you for this. No less than a small one." It was clear that he was using words to provoke him.
While saying these words, neither my grandpa nor grandpa asked him to sit down, and they didn't treat him as a guest. In addition, when Brother Wu saw my grandpa talking about his old dog Wu, he seemed to be talking about sinners. Usually, he starts to get upset.
I held my forehead, and I could imagine my grandfather's tone of voice.
My grandfather is different from the gangster Liang Boss. He has a playful temper in front of the juniors. Hearing that Wu Xie is the grandson of Wu Laogou, it is estimated that he will use his seniority to suppress him.As for Boss Liang, he must have thought the scene was interesting, he was too lazy to end it for someone, and was just sitting on the sidelines watching the excitement.
The inner world of the old men is also very rich.
"Then dare you just stand like this all the time?" I was a little worried, thinking that the result would definitely be ugly, and it didn't seem like an exaggeration to say I was offended.
Brother Wu's next words confirmed to me that he also has a temper.
He put on a face, pulled a chair for himself, sat up with a big horse, and sat directly face to face with my grandpa and grandpa.
My grandfather still had a smile on his face, but he said something that turned his face: "Young people's legs and feet are not as good as those of us old men? Look, who here just sits down like you. Or you go back and let your old man teach you The rules of life?"
Young Master Wu judged that today’s page wouldn’t turn out too well anyway, so he decided to go all out. He said to my grandfather: “Grandpa Xu, you are an elder, so you naturally know more about the rules of life than me. Boss Liang also said just now Now, the grievances of the older generation cannot be attributed to the younger generation, not to mention that my grandfather is also one of the victims, so please don't embarrass me about it. I am here today for Liang Jin, and I don't want to offend her grandfather."
I couldn't help laughing out: "For me? Boss Wu, you really dare to say that. This sentence is really a beautiful home run. It offended my grandfather in every way!"
"Thinking about it now, I also think that's a bit too serious. But since I entered your grandfather's door, the atmosphere is not right. It's fine if you don't pour me a glass of water. You still use seniority to suppress me, and you always talk about my grandfather." I couldn't bear it anymore. But as soon as I said this, I knew it was a bit serious. I didn't expect your grandfather to turn his face on the spot and ask someone to pull me out. "
I shook my head and said: "Of course, first, Mr. Xu hates others to stand on the side of Mr. Liang to answer him. But you took out Mr. Liang's words and slapped him; second, you really didn't give him any face. Just like this, I sat down in front of everyone and pushed back; in the end, you called me Xiaojin in front of old man Xu, didn’t this arouse his sadness, he didn’t intend to let my surname be Liang, in the past 20 years No one dared to call me Liang Jin in front of him."
"Where did I expect that there are so many points to avoid." Wu Xie shrugged noncommittally, "Anyway, I sat and sat, and Lai also played, so I can only bite the bullet to the end."
I sighed helplessly: "You are ruthless, but don't pay too much attention to it. This is a new society. Even if my grandfather doesn't like you, it won't be too bad for you. Besides, this appearance will definitely make Boss Liang secretly It's cool. Speaking of which, what exactly is grandpa calling you over for? It's not necessarily just for show. "
"Who knows. The quarrel was so unpleasant at the beginning, and we couldn't talk about it later. If your grandfather hadn't brought people there, I would have been kicked out by Grandpa Xu long ago. Anyway, when I said that, he dumped me." Give me a sneer, stand up and walk away. The whole meeting lasted only 5 minutes, without saying anything."
When I thought of the scene at that time, I couldn't help laughing, and gave him a thumbs up: "Brother Wu, I give you a thumbs up, how should I put it, you really impress me, haha."
Unexpectedly, Wu Xie didn't laugh: "Your grandfather doesn't like me so much, you find it funny?"
"What does that matter? My grandfather is just a pawnbroker, and he doesn't engage in our Liang family's business. If he doesn't like you, why don't he ask someone to beat you up?"
He still didn't smile, but looked at me seriously: "Just a pawn shop? Liang Xiaojin, do you know that your grandfather runs more than just a pawn shop?"
"Ah? What is that?" It was the first time I heard about it, "Anyway, it can't be an inverted fight." I didn't wait for him to speak, so I patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, okay, I'm really afraid that my grandpa will talk to you seriously about, uh, that (about marrying me)... Oh, forget it, it's not a big deal anyway, there are many people Xu Zhanggong doesn't like, my grandpa has always He ranks first among them and has never been surpassed. Others with the surname Liang can print an A4 paper if you want to list them. You can’t be ranked. And I can say that they are all his granddaughters, so he is considered a treasure. It's not my turn to meddle in his family's business. His grandson and son-in-law don't need to please him."
As soon as I finished speaking, I wanted to slap myself hard.
What happened to that last sentence, shit!I didn't know that I thought so in my mother's heart until I said it!
I avoided Wu Xie's subtle gaze, turned around and filled his half-drunk water glass silently: "Wu Xie, you seem to be very thirsty, drink more water. Go back and rest first."
"What did you say in the last sentence?"
"I said, you are not the one that old man Xu hates the most, don't mind."
"Not this one. The next one."
"No matter how precious he is to me, it won't be my turn to get involved in his family's half-dime business."
"It's not this sentence, it's the last sentence."
"Oh, I said it, my friend doesn't need to please him."
Wu Xie turned her head to the side and looked at me expressionlessly: "Oh? Why do I feel that's not what I said just now?"
I shamelessly avoided his sight again, turned around silently again, and this time I poured myself a full enamel cup of water, gulping it down.
"Liang Jin?"
"what?"
"You haven't answered me yet?"
I took a sneak peek at him from the side of the cup, feeling bad, Mr. Wu Xiaosan's unmoving posture and calm expression are the rhythms that he intends to consume with me.
The experience I have come into contact with these days tells me that if the little profiteer Wu makes up his mind, he is not usually calm, and I am definitely not his opponent.
I almost finished drinking the enamel cup, and he was still sitting on the side looking at me calmly, neither urging nor changing expression on his face.I slowly put down the glass, only to feel my stomach swell.
"Well, I'll go to the toilet." Okay, I'll pee.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."
I lifted my legs out of the quilt and retracted them again.
you are vicious.
I stared at him for a while, wanting to lose my temper, as if there was no sufficient reason; wanting to play haha, as if it was impossible to fool Brother Wu, who was more logical than me.
Oh, that's all, that's all.
I whispered depressingly: "I just said something wrong. Why did you hold on to me? Are you trying to make me happy? In fact, I... I originally speculated that the matter between me and you had become like that before, and Rumors of an engagement, my grandfather came to you to see what his future grandson-in-law looks like. But it seems that the situation is not bad now, since my grandfather didn’t embarrass you with this matter, isn’t it good? I, I said that is called Don't take old man Xu seriously. Anyway, grandson-in-law or friend, as long as I approve, I don't need his approval, that's what I mean. I just spoke quickly and said this one more sentence. "
After listening to me, he thought for a while and asked, "Then what kind of person do you approve of?"
I tugged on the quilt and said irritably, "I don't know, I don't have high demands, just don't treat me like a man anyway."
He seemed to be getting closer to me, and the setting sun outlined a shadow of a person on the quilt I was staring at.
"Your request is really not high. Specifically?"
I snorted and thought to myself: There is no way, once I am issued a card, I will correct my boyfriend's image once. After three times, I have already left the "Appearance Association" and "Gentlemen's Association". As long as people are sincere and treat me well enough become.So I thought about it, thought about it again, and said cautiously: "Be simple, say what you have to say, and occasionally say some nonsense to cheer up the atmosphere, as long as it's not too vulgar, like a fat man... "
Wu Xie drank half of the water and almost spit it out in front of my face. Fortunately, he covered his mouth, but he couldn't help but choke violently.
"Why are you exaggerating?" I patted him on the back to comfort him, "I'm just making an analogy."
He coughed and said, "So, what about the little brother? Isn't he much more reliable than the fat man?"
I shook my head: "Brother is an expert, a worldly child like me can't get involved."
"Are you serious?"
I nodded: "I'm serious. In fact, if I have a father, I hope he is like this. It doesn't matter if you don't talk much, but how reliable it is at the critical moment! Unlike my old father, who left me alone At the seaside, it's just abominable!"
"What about Lu Mingyuan?"
I waved my hand: "No, no, no, they all said to be honest, and they lied to me by pretending to be a white flower from the beginning." How heartbroken I was at that time!
"He said he had to."
"Anyway, I don't like that kind of glib talk." I can't control this type, Xiaosan, it's too challenging.I glanced at Wu Xie, and said to myself: Brother Wu, you and I can't handle it, and I don't want anyone from the "Appearance Association". It's better for me to find a woman from a good family.
"Okay, is my answer thorough enough now? Brother Wu, are you satisfied?"
When I saw that he didn't answer after I finished speaking, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Tsk, I still had a ten-thousandth hope that he would confess his love to me, but he fell silent in the end. So what are you asking? Really.I curled my lips angrily: "What about you? Now it's your turn. What kind of person do you like?"
"you."
"What about me, I'm asking what type of person you like."
"It doesn't matter what type it is, it's just you."
"Fuck..." Fuck, it's really here!While holding back my indecent complaints, I subconsciously touched my waist.
"Your whip is in the drawer."
This girl is calm enough.I put down my hand in embarrassment, and my face began to flush: "Oh, you also know that I'm going to smack you. Dare you press me forward every step of the way, just to tease me, don't you really think I don't know how to slap you?" You are."
"I'm not kidding. Since you asked me who I like, I'll answer honestly, you."
I frowned, narrowed my eyes, glanced at the drawer beside the bed and retracted it.
"Then it's my fault?" You can't lose your temper. If you lose your temper with Wu Xie, you will lose. This kid is very calm in nature, so he won't be easily provoked, "Okay, okay, you are ruthless, little three. I'm willing to bow down, I deserve to talk too much." These social people are all so eloquent, it's really depressing, if you don't want to say it, don't say it, what's the point of entertaining me, don't look at me like this, I'm also a girl, and I'm also a girl. Very fragile okay!
While thinking, I slapped the pillow behind me hard, making it fluffy, and lay down on my head: "Okay, okay, I'm going to rest. Anyway, old man Xu didn't do anything to you, you are tired, go back... ... Aww, what are you doing?"
As soon as I landed on the bed, I was half hugged and half pulled up by him again.
"What's your answer?"
The corner of my mouth twitched, and I realized that he was still looking at me, as if waiting for an answer.I held back my anger, thinking about what the hell this was, and spread my hands at him: "What do you want me to answer?"
At some point, this kid sat directly beside my bed and asked me word by word: "I said, I like you, how about you?"
If you amuse me, will I not amuse myself back?I snorted coldly in my heart, and smiled: "Of course I like it very much. Okay, then this..."
After a few years later, I remembered the scene back then and asked Wu Xie when I answered you like this, did you see that I was entertaining you, or did you take it seriously?He smiled back at me, of course I can see that you are perfunctory, but who made you choose to play me in this way, so——
As soon as I finished speaking, a black figure came towards me and covered my head. Before I figured out the situation, I felt my lips warm.
In an instant, a familiar and hot feeling swarmed up, as if the tide had submerged me. I could feel his breath on my cheek, and his hands around my waist.The warmth and softness of these lips are like feathers...
"that would be great."
I sat on the bed blankly, looking at the people close at hand, my mind went blank.Is this a dream?Am I having a very real dream right now?
I let him hug me in my arms, let him pat me on the back lightly, and then heard him softly whisper in my ear: "Don't worry, I didn't take what your grandpa said to heart. After all, who is his grandson-in-law, as long as his granddaughter approves."
The author has something to say:
Oh, I finally confessed my confession~ The evil emperor is so hot and skillful!Um
