Qiu Bailu didn't know what he meant by saying this. There was some other trick to the test. The relationship between Cheng Yuanying and Cheng Zhiqing was not good, very bad, so bad that the two of them didn't even bother to do superficial things. Qiu Bailu didn't want to be caught in the middle.
The two of them were cannon fodder. She laughed dryly, looked at Cheng Yuanying with an innocent face, and kicked the ball to him.
Cheng Yuanying coughed lightly and said with a smile, "Big brother seems to be very concerned about Xiaolu and I."
"Of course I care. Who made you my fourth brother? Are you right, Zhijing?" Cheng Zhijing was looking down at the lines on the steak's tendons. He didn't know why the flames of war had burned him.
He raised his head in confusion and said "Ah." His expression of ignorance made Qiu Bailu wonder how he survived in the Cheng family.
Not getting the response he wanted and seeing his incompetent look, Cheng Zhiqing felt resentful in his heart and cursed in a low voice, "Useless thing."
Although his voice was not high, everyone present could hear it clearly. Cheng Zhijing lowered his head again in shame. Xu Qianhua took out a slender lady's cigarette and held it impatiently in her mouth. Cheng Zhihang immediately held up a lighter
Come over...
What a rich family, what a brother and brother!
No one wanted to stay in such a home, so it was difficult for him to continue to endure it. Cheng Yuanying's hand holding the knife and fork seemed to be very hard, and his fingertips turned white, but he still said calmly, "Second brother is honest and loyal.
, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. I wonder if I’ve ever heard of the term “da Zhi Ruo Yu”.”
"I think he is more mentally retarded." Cheng Zhiqing replied coldly, then turned to Cheng Yuanying. "Since you call me big brother, I can't be your big brother in vain. As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. The fourth brother is yours.
You're not too young anymore, so it's not a problem to be like this all the time. I think you and Miss Qiu are a match, why don't you settle down earlier so that your parents can have an explanation."
"Elder brother is like father? I'm afraid that was what he said after his father died. Besides, I am not so lucky to have a father like you." Cheng Yuanying ignored Cheng Zhiqing's increasingly pale face and teased, "Me and
The two of us have actually made plans regarding Xiaolu, but there have been a lot of things going on in the company recently, so I haven't had time to make detailed arrangements yet. When there is good news, I will be the first to inform my eldest brother."
Plan? What plan? Plan your sister! Qiu Bailu glared at Cheng Yuanying, and Cheng Yuanying gently stroked her hand under the dining table to ask her to calm down.
I just said good news, but I didn’t say what good news it was. Besides, I didn’t set a fixed time, so there’s nothing to be afraid of.
Cheng Zhiqing didn't notice the many clauses in Cheng Yuanying's words. He looked at the two of them deeply and said, "Then big brother will be waiting."
Later, Cheng Zhiqing rarely spoke. During the dinner, Xu Qianhua and Qiu Bailu had a very good chat. Although Xu Qianhua had a good family background, she had no ability. She admired those talented women very much. She and Qiu Bailu made an appointment to see an art exhibition.
, Qiu Bailu smiled and agreed.
The chefs of the Cheng family are very skilled. Under such harsh conditions, Qiu Bailu still tasted the dishes quite well.
After dinner, Cheng Yuanying took Qiu Bailu for a walk in the back garden of Cheng's house and took her to see Cheng Zhijing's pigeon house.
Not far from the pigeon house, I heard the cooing of pigeons. Cheng Zhijing was already there, with a snow-white little pigeon squatting on his shoulders. He caressed the little pigeon gently with his eyes, and his body exuded weekend radiance.
There was a faint golden light, which completely made people unable to imagine the cowardly look he looked like during the dinner.
Regardless of what they are like on the inside, the Cheng family are all handsome men on the outside. Cheng Zhijing looks most similar to Cheng Yuanying, but he has a more elegant temperament than Cheng Yuanying and is not as demonic as him.
"You talk to the second brother, I have something else to do. I'll be back soon after I finish it." Cheng Yuanying confessed and left Qiu Bailu behind.
Qiu Bailu smiled at Cheng Zhijing, "Mr. Cheng's pigeons are really well raised. Are they red-blooded and blue?"
"Eh? You actually know this?" Cheng Zhijing was surprised, "Don't call me Mr. Cheng. This family is all Mr. Cheng. Follow Yuanying and call me second brother."
"Okay, is the second brother's pigeon raised for competition? When I was a child, my family once took in an injured pigeon, but then it flew away after it recovered from the injury. I was still hoping that it would come back to see me, but it never happened again.
I've never seen it again." Qiu Bailu stuck out her tongue and said sadly. The pigeon was scratched by a cat. Because the injury was on the tail feathers, it couldn't fly. She took it home and took good care of it. In order to understand
Qiu Bailu bought a lot of books about pigeons, and even hired a veterinarian to treat it. Unexpectedly, after it recovered, it immediately flapped its wings and flew away without even looking back, which made Qiu Bailu sad.
long time.
"Haha, you must have watched too many cartoons, and you are still thinking about the cat's repayment, right? Pigeons are not that understanding of human nature, and it takes a long time to raise them to have feelings for people. If you like it, I will give you one.
I have no choice but to do so.”
Qiu Bailu could see that the pigeons raised by Cheng Zhijing were all top-quality racing pigeons, some of which were valuable. The activity of racing pigeons has existed for a long time. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty in China, people had raced pigeons for fun, and organized corresponding "freeing pigeons".
"Pigeon Club" group. "Guangdong News": "In the fifth and sixth months of the year, people in Guangzhou have pigeon-flying gatherings... choose the one who returns first, and tie the pigeons' necks with red flowers."
Although very few people now participate in this ancient competitive event, those who do participate must be experts.
Qiu Bailu waved her hand, "I don't dare to take away people's love. Besides, I only keep them as pets. If they are given to me, they will feel very humiliated."
He is obviously a messenger who can soar in the sky, but he is treated like a pigeon and kept in a cage. Even if the cage is made of gold, I am afraid they will not be happy.
"Xiaolu is very perceptive, and Yuanying's vision is really good."
"What are you talking about with my second brother? I heard your laughter from a distance." Cheng Yuanying finished busy with the things at hand. She was afraid that Qiu Bailu and Cheng Zhijing would have nothing to say, so she hurried over. Unexpectedly, the two of them chatted happily.
.
The three of them got together and talked about pigeons. Seeing that it was getting late, Qiu Bailu said goodbye to Cheng Zhijing.
On the way back, Qiu Bailu talked to Cheng Yuanying about the Cheng family, and she couldn't help but sigh, "Your family is really a place of outstanding people. Everyone in the hidden dragon and crouching tiger is not a good person."
"Hey, how can you say that? Look at me, how kind I am."
"Put me down... you are the worst." Qiu Bailu rolled her eyes, "Your second brother is not simple. He can be a man if he can bend and stretch."
Cheng Zhijing should trust Cheng Yuanying very much, otherwise he would not show his true side in front of Qiu Bai. If he had any grudge against Cheng Yuanying, he would become dull like at the dinner table, as if no matter what happened,
It has nothing to do with him.
Whether it was Cheng Zhiqing's abuse of him or Xu Qianhua's humiliation of him...
"You have to know that those who can survive in the Cheng family are not simple people." Cheng Yuanying drove the car, still wanting to take out a hand to hold Qiu Bailu's hand, Qiu Bailu pressed his hand on the steering wheel,
She also patted him and signaled him to drive well and don't think about whether these things are available or not. "My second brother has been married to Xu Qianhua for so many years. Without some means, Xu Qianhua would have divorced him long ago and fallen into the arms of my third brother.
"
"Why don't you leave? Could it be that he still can't let her go?"
"He was reluctant to part with her, but it was not that she was reluctant to part with her as a person, but that he was reluctant to part with her shares. When the Xu family married their daughter, they also participated in some shares in Fangyuan. If Xu Qianhua left her second brother and joined her third brother, then
The third brother is the person who holds the most shares in our family. Even if the second brother doesn't care about this kind of thing, the boss and I cannot allow it to happen."
"Tsk, the relationship in your family is so complicated." Interpersonal relationships are complex, and interest relationships are even more complicated. "Then what's the point of them being entangled like this? This marriage is really too utilitarian."
"Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu, let me tell you what's good about you. I'm afraid you are the only one who thinks that getting married is really because you love each other so much that you get married. Look at the wealthy young people in these corporate conglomerates, who all get married because of that?
Political marriage? Chinese people attach great importance to well-matched families, and it is no longer popular for a rich lady to marry a disciple from a poor family."
Cheng Yuanying didn't mean what he said, but Qiu Bailu thought of her parents. She was a little unhappy for a moment, and her face immediately darkened. After Cheng Yuanying finished speaking, she immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing. Looking at Qiu Bailu again, it turned out that
It's over.
He poked her shoulder tentatively, "Are you angry?"
Qiu Bailu leaned back in the chair a little tiredly, "No, I just think I'm quite stupid, maybe it's hereditary."
If her mother had not insisted on marrying her father, there might not have been so many unpleasant events, and her marriage would not have been so difficult. But then again, if what she imagined came true, then there would be no such thing as her
Already...
Maybe it would be happier if it didn't exist?
"Hey, hey, don't think like that. If you think like that, I will be guilty of a big sin." Cheng Yuanying made a crouching posture.
Qiu Bailu ignored his pretense and just looked out the window, "Cheng Yuanying, is it true that for those of you with great ambitions, marriage is just a ladder to achieve a certain goal? It has nothing to do with feelings?"
When you asked this question, who did you think of? Cheng Yuanying wanted to ask her, but in the end he didn't speak.
He smiled helplessly and replied, "To be honest, there must be factors to consider. But if possible, I hope it's a win-win situation. The person I marry is someone I like and can help me. That way
Not better."
"What if there's no way to have both?" Who does he think he is? All the women in this world are prepared for him. He can pick and choose as he pleases, and it's a win-win situation.
