Zhang Moyan turned to look at Xiao Xingyu, who had also been misunderstood. Well... he was enjoying the food carelessly while looking at Geng Jun and Zhou Xia opposite him as if they were watching a show.
"How can you hide something as big as your marriage from your parents, relatives and friends?" Xiao Huai looked puzzled, "Zhou Xia, you have always been very measured in what you do. What's going on?"
An invisible pressure dropped on the dining table.
"I have the responsibility for this, but we do this because we have no choice but to do it." Geng Jung was about to start, but Zhou Xia immediately held him down when he saw something was wrong.
"Brother Huai," Zhou Xia added hurriedly, "I was really impulsive this time. The main reason is that Ruzhou and Shenhai are so far away. I'm worried that my parents won't agree with me marrying far away. Also, Geng Jun and I know each other.
The time is indeed very short, and they will definitely not agree if they are not familiar with him."
Xiao Huai nodded slightly after hearing this and said with relief: "My aunt and uncle are very open-minded people. Others may think that you are unreliable and won't allow you to marry far away. But Dean Ge is Grandpa Guotao's savior, and his character can only be imitated by us."
Come down here for all to see, there is a high probability that they will agree to you being together for such an excellent partner."
"Yes," Sasa affirmed, "my brother-in-law is so handsome and so young and promising. My aunt and uncle will definitely agree. Sister Zhou Xia, don't worry!"
"Well...really..." Zhou Xia nodded guiltily and looked at Xiao Xingyu as if asking for help.
"Of course!" Sasa nodded her head.
Zhang Moyan held her forehead and really wanted to say, "Didn't you hear Geng Jun's name mentioned by Zhou Xia? It's Geng, you two!"
Xiao Huai noticed Zhou Xia's eyes. After a moment of silence, he said to Zhou Xia: "So you plan to settle in Shenhai and hope to join Xiao Xingyu but he doesn't agree. Do you want us to help him do his work?"
”
So all the eyes of the whole table were focused on Xiao Xingyu.
To be honest, if Xiao Huai could think about Zhou Xia's desire to work for Xiao Xingyu, Zhang Moyan felt that his IQ was definitely higher than ordinary people, but things were far more complicated than he thought...
"Hey -" with his eyes focused, Xiao Xingyu put down the tableware with a smile and leaned back in his chair comfortably, "Why do you think this feast tonight is to settle me?"
Xiao Huai frowned and smelled some clues from Xiao Xingyu's words. Since this dinner was not to settle Xiao Xingyu, except for Sasa and Xiao Man'er who were ignored because of their young age, Zhang Moyan was an outsider.
So...just settle him?
"What do you mean?" Xiao Huai tightened his cheeks and glanced at Xiao Xingyu from the corner of his eyes and looked at Zhou Xia.
And Zhou Xia no longer dared to look at Xiao Huai.
In fact, let alone Zhou Xia at this moment, even Zhang Moyan started to sweat.
"Okay," Geng Jun shook Zhou Xia's slender shoulders, "Let me do the talking!"
Zhou Xia looked back at Geng Jun helplessly, with an expression that wanted to dissuade her. Geng Jun smiled broadly at her: "There is no way to hide this kind of thing. We are meant to be honest today."
Zhou Xia was already at a loss, but when she heard Geng Jun say so firmly, she seemed to have found some ideas and nodded in agreement.
"Mr. Xiao, my great-aunt, and this little girl," Geng Jun stood up and addressed them one by one. "Actually, you have always had a misunderstanding about me."
Xiao Huai and Xiao Man'er were still at the same time, with confused expressions.
"My surname is not Ge, but Geng, Erhuo Geng," Geng Jun said clearly every word. "Yes, I am from the Geng family that you should be thinking of now. That family has been around like your Xiao family since ancient times.
The one who perseveres in pursuit of azure glazed porcelain——Hangzhou Geng family."
As soon as the words fell, it was like dropping an atomic bomb, and the room was immediately as quiet as death.
Even the young and ignorant little aunt and grandmother were so frightened that they could not move.
Xiao Huai froze for three minutes before he woke up from the shock. His face was completely tense, and he felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
"Who knows about this?" Zhou Xia and Geng Jun were asked expressionlessly.
Zhou Xia was not sure what Xiao Huai meant by asking this question, so he stood up and replied slowly: "No one knows yet. Before, only Brother Xingyu and Mo Yan knew."
Hearing this, Xiao Huai looked at the table with his peripheral vision, and Zhang Moyan suddenly felt as if his face had been cut by a cold blade.
"That's good," Xiao Huai's voice was cold and calm, "before this matter spreads, Zhou Xia, you and Dean Geng should go through the divorce procedures immediately."
"Brother Huai?" Zhou Xia's eyes were filled with shock. She looked at Xiao Huai's rock-hard face and looked at Xiao Xingyu pleadingly, "Brother Xingyu, can you say a few words for me?"
Xiao Xingyu's handsome and extraordinary face showed a pure and innocent expression: "I'm here to eat, not to say a few words."
Zhang Moyan looked at Xiao Xingyu in astonishment, but then thought about it and realized that it was true that Xiao Xingyu could not express his position easily on this matter.
A fire went out in Zhou Xia's eyes. Seeing that Xiao Xingyu had no intention of helping, she had no choice but to do Xiao Huai's work: "Brother Huai, I want to..."
"It's useless what you think about!"
Xiao Huai suppressed some anger and said: "Are you confused? We and the Geng family have a sworn feud. We have been incompatible with each other since ancient times and have never interacted with each other. Even if you are a descendant of the Xiao family, you must still abide by this rule.
Principle, do you still want me to tell you this truth?"
Xiao Huai showed no mercy. Zhou Xia suddenly choked and started to tremble slightly. She just talked about getting a marriage certificate with Geng Jun. Xiao Huai had such a big reaction. If she told Xiao Huai that she was pregnant...that would be true.
I can't imagine it.
"Mr. Xiao," Geng Jun supported Zhou Xia and blocked her behind him, "Our two families do have some grudges, but our ancestors have been working together on the same front for azure glazed porcelain. Right and wrong are all the same in the past hundreds of years.
It happened years ago. You and I are both a new generation with higher education and a modern, open and inclusive mind. Shouldn’t we make some efforts for the reconciliation of the two families?"
"Reconciliation?" Xiao Huai seemed to have heard some ancient story, "We have not endured the suffering experienced by our ancestors, so why can we forgive them on their behalf?"
The air solidified instantly and was so cold that it froze.
"Xingyu," the overly serious atmosphere frightened the little aunt. She climbed down from the high-backed chair and ran past Zhang Moyan and ran towards Xiao Xingyu, grabbing his arm tightly, "How could they?
This way..."
"Shh-" Xiao Xingyu put a finger to his lips and leaned sideways to face the little aunt and grandma, "Stop talking, Xiao Huai is seriously objecting!"
Zhang Moyan was stunned. Although Xiao Xingyu said so, he didn't seem to lower his voice very much... I expected that everyone here understood his kindness as well as himself, but his kindness - it sounded like cynicism.
Not much different.
"Xiao Xingyu!" Xiao Huai was furious as expected, "I've never been impressed by your belief in Ma Youjuan, but you actually knew about such a serious thing and didn't report it. Not only did you not report it, but you didn't stop it and allowed it to develop to this point. I
It looks like you are dizzy!"
A fire broke out at the city gate and affected Chi Yu. Xiao Huai's fire finally burned Xiao Xingyu's head.
