Chapter 5 If I Could Choose(1/2)
The first thing Yue Yuxiu did when she got home was to ask her granddaughter if she was back.
The housekeeper knew that Zhong Nanming was in the hospital, and seeing Yue Yuxiu's face gloomy, cautious and lowered her head, he quickly replied, "The eldest lady is in the boxing room."
At the same time, the butler motioned to the servant to serve tea quickly.
Mu Xiangqing would practice boxing when she was in a bad mood.
There was strong disgust in Yue Yuxiu's eyes, and she said dissatisfiedly, "What have you learned from such a well-behaved rich lady? She has disgraced the face of my Zhong family."
The housekeeper buried his head very low. Not only did he not dare to talk, he even kept his breathing low.
"Mom, who dares to make you angry?"
The tall Zhong Keqi walked in wearing a silver professional suit and carrying a limited edition bag, with a slight smile on her face with exquisite makeup.
Duoduo is the template of a strong business woman.
She was accompanied by her husband Hong Yuncang.
Even though he is over forty years old, he still looks mature and handsome.
Behind them is their daughter Hong Antong, wearing the school uniform of Deyuan High School, with a white shirt and a blue vest on the upper body, and a blue knee-length pleated skirt on the lower body. She has a princess hairdo, looking dignified and elegant without losing youthful vitality.
"mom."
"grandmother."
Seeing her daughter's family coming back, Yue Yuxiu put a smile on her face, but she still said angrily, "Of course it's Xiang Qing. Your brother is already in the hospital. It's okay if she doesn't go to see her. But she will be angry with your brother when she goes. So is your brother."
Dote on her and practice boxing as soon as she comes back. Is this what a socialite should do?"
Yue Yuxiu became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and even her delicate makeup could not hide her gloom.
Zhong Keqi sat down next to Yue Yuxiu and patted her back affectionately, "Mom, don't be angry, don't be angry, it will ruin your body."
Hong Antong on the side lowered his head slightly and frowned.
But Hong Yuncang looked unconcerned.
"How can I not be angry? If she were half as obedient and obedient as An Tong, I would be satisfied. Now I don't even dare to go out to party with those old friends for fear of talking about her."
Zhong Keqi said, "Mom, don't you still have a granddaughter, An Tong?"
Yue Yuxiu looked at her granddaughter, feeling a little comforted in her heart, and stretched out her hand to Hong Antong, "That's because my Antong is so good, they are envious of her."
Hong Antong sat down obediently, stretched out his right hand to hold Yue Yuxiu's hand, and said obediently, "Grandma."
"An Tong is also a senior in high school. Have you decided which university you want to attend?" Yue Yuxiu put away her anger and her tone became much gentler.
Zhong Keqi spoke before Hong Antong could answer, "Mom, of course Antong is going to Bei'an University. The Department of Finance is the best choice, right? Antong?"
Zhong Keqi looked at her daughter with a sense of command.
Seeing this, Hong Antong lowered his eyelashes and nodded, but placed his left hand on his knees and clenched it slightly.
Zhong Keqi raised her lips with satisfaction.
"Bei'an is very good. Your uncle and mother also graduated from Bei'an's finance department." Yue Yuxiu patted the back of Hong Antong's hand, "Antong, grandma believes in you."
"I understand, grandma." Hong Antong didn't want to stay any longer. She felt very depressed, "Grandma, I'm going to find my cousin."
Upon hearing this, the smile on Yue Yuxiu's face dropped a bit, "Go ahead and talk to her. Stop being so willful."
The boxing training room was specially built by Zhong Nanming for Mu Xiangqing. It is on the left side of the back garden and is about the size of a basketball court. There are many sports equipment in it.
When Hong Antong arrived at the door, she knocked first, but received no response. She was used to it, so she just knocked politely and then pushed the door open and went in.
The door was unlocked because the servants did not dare to come in casually.
Yue Yuxiu will never come, and Zhong Nanming is very busy and rarely comes.
Mu Xiangqing was practicing boxing facing the door. As soon as the door opened, she noticed that her cousin Hong Antong came in. She was the only one in this house who would come, but she ignored her.
Although Hong Antong thought it was not good for a girl to practice boxing, at least she didn't feel oppressed when she came here.
She sat down on the sofa nearby and took out her mobile phone and headphones.
Mu Xiangqing continued to punch herself.
Neither of them spoke, but there was no embarrassment and they quietly did their own thing. This was the way they mostly got along.
Until Mu Xiangqing got tired, she took off her gloves, wiped her sweat with a towel, and sat down on the sofa opposite Hong Antong.
Hong Antong took off the earphones, turned off the phone, raised his eyes and looked at Mu Xiangqing, "Can you live in peace and save some face for the Zhong family?"
When Mu Xiangqing heard this, she didn't look at Hong Antong. Knowing that she was talking about the lunch canteen, she picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Then she put it down and looked up at her. "You should think about what you want to do when you have time. You can only hide here for a while."
.”
Hong Antong sighed secretly when he heard this. Sometimes he really couldn't see what kind of person this cousin who was only two months older than him was.
Sometimes she is very shrewd and perceptive, and she is the only one in the family who can see that she does not want to follow the future planned by her mother.
But sometimes she is like a time bomb. I don't know what she will do next second, and I am afraid that she will do something to hurt her loved ones.
But Hong Antong will not deny that she is most relaxed when she is with her cousin, who is only two months older than herself, because she does not have to think about whether she should say something or whether she can do it.
"Mu Xiangqing, what I'm talking about now is your business. You are an adult and you should bear the consequences of any decision you make. My uncle is very busy and tired. He is even sick from work. Can't you let him save some peace of mind?
"
Mu Xiangqing's red mouth curled up in a mocking arc, and she lowered her eyelashes to block the rising bitterness in her eyes, "Then you should care about him, everything about me has nothing to do with him."
Hong Antong's face darkened, "In the past few years, have you ever gotten into trouble without my uncle helping you to deal with the aftermath? If you weren't the daughter of the Zhong family, who would want to talk to you and support you?"
"Oh, if I had a choice, I wouldn't want to be the daughter of the Zhong family, so Hong Antong, there's no need to continue preaching to me, let's go, mind your own business and leave me alone." Mu Xiangqing's heart tightened, and there was a flash in her mind.
of sadness.
Hong Antong was so angry that he frowned, but there was nothing he could do. He stood up and walked out, but stopped when he reached the door. "You are in your senior year of high school. You should think about your future instead of continuing to do those things you don't know. Think about it yourself."
Be clear."
As the door was closed, Mu Xiangqing closed her eyes and leaned on the sofa.
future?
She has no expectations or visions for the future.
She doesn't even know what future she has.
Hong Antong walked out of the corridor and met her mother Zhong Keqi. The anger on her face instantly disappeared, and her voice was calm, "Mom."
Zhong Keqi's tone was cold, "Where's Ah Qing?"
"Didn't come out." Hong Antong lowered his eyelashes slightly.
A hint of sarcasm rose in Zhong Keqi's eyes, and the sarcasm in his eyes switched to expectation, "An Tong, the college entrance examination is in less than a year, study hard, and don't worry about A Qing's affairs, she is hopeless."
Hong Antong's heart suddenly lifted, her hands hanging down by her legs tightened, and she didn't answer. She didn't know what she could say.
She didn't know whether the bitterness in her heart was for herself or for her cousin Mu Xiangqing.
Zhong Keqi was very satisfied with her daughter's well-behaved behavior and "went back to have dinner with grandma."
"good."
Hong Antong followed, but still looked back in the direction of the boxing room.
Early the next morning, Si Kong Jue walked into the classroom and clearly noticed that everyone was looking at him strangely. In fact, he noticed it when he entered the campus and could vaguely hear them discussing what happened in the cafeteria yesterday.
Now I saw that his seat had been pushed further away, obviously because he didn't want to get too close to him.
Sikong Jue pretended not to notice and sat down in his seat. These small actions were too childish for him and he didn't care.
The eyes of everyone in Class 11 followed Sikong Jue.
Someone couldn't help but taunted him, "Sikong Jue, if I were you, I would have wiser and left alone. If you offend Boss Mu, you will end up in a terrible situation."
When one person opens his mouth, a second person will follow.
"I would rather see what his fate will be like?"
"Haha, I think so too, Sikong Jue, you have to hold on, I don't want to have a good time."
"I think he is just an idiot. He is so ugly wearing those black-rimmed glasses."
"Only ugly men are brave enough."
“Don’t worry about this when there are free shows to watch.”
"You're right, no one dares to mess with Boss Mu for half a year."
"That minister's son was bold enough to mess with Boss Mu, but he was kicked out in the end. In the end, the whole family moved out of Jing City."
Sikong Jue completely blocked these words and opened the book to read.
When Lu Rifeng and Mu Xiangqing walked in, everyone immediately shut up and lowered their heads to do their own thing.
Mu Xiangqing went straight back to her seat, and Lu Rifeng looked at Chen Chen.
Chen Chen raised his chin in the direction of Sikong Jue.
Lu Rifeng understood immediately, took the milk handed over by Chen Chen, inserted the straw and handed it to Mu Xiangqing. Mu Xiangqing took it and drank while looking out the window.
