After all, Mrs. Cui is a well-educated person. Arguing over family matters and mother-child relationship in front of so many outsiders is a loss of face. "Don't you want to prepare a speech for the Cherry Blossom Festival?"
"Of course I will prepare my speech, it's none of your business." Cui Minhao said arrogantly.
"This is related to the future of the company, isn't it none of my business?" Mrs. Cui said sternly.
"If you are coming to me about company matters, you are probably looking for the wrong person." Cui Minhao turned away and looked at the chessboard on the table.
"You!" Mrs. Cui probably hasn't seen her son for a long time. Unexpectedly, Minhao's personality has become more and more perverse, and he doesn't take her as a mother seriously.
"Too much anger will always harm the body. Xiao Tao, go make Mrs. Cui a cup of scented tea to calm the anger. No matter what happens, you can sit down and talk." Grandpa said, gently patting the back of Min Hao's hand.
.
Cui Minhao's little finger trembled slightly. The moment his grandfather touched the back of his hand, an indescribable warmth flowed into his palm, making his heart feel peaceful for a moment. Regarding his grandfather's proposal, he did not behave like he did just now.
Fierce seems to be the default.
Xiaotao nodded and said to Mrs. Cui: "Auntie, please sit down first."
"No need." Mrs. Cui stared at Cui Minhao, seeming very disappointed. Over the years, his temper has not changed at all, but has worsened, which actually made her feel chilled. Then she turned her head and looked at Xiao Tao with cold eyes.
, said: "You are indeed very capable. But I want to remind you that marrying into a rich family cannot be achieved by relying on such a small trick. As long as I am here, you can't even think about it."
Han Xiaotao was stunned by what Mrs. Cui said and didn't react for a long time. Means? Succeed? What does this mean?
Cui Minhao stood up angrily and yelled at his mother: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Mrs. Cui glanced at him, turned around and walked out of Hanzhai. Li Mengyun came up to her outside the door and looked back at the lights in the room, with a cold light in her eyes.
"This girl seems to be really good at making Min Hao obedient." Mrs. Cui said in a deep voice. Thinking of Min Hao's attitude towards her biological mother and his attitude towards protecting Han Xiaotao, she felt uncomfortable.
"Didn't you tell your aunt? That girl took great care of Min Hao. Otherwise, why would Min Hao not stay in a hotel but come to such a simple place? If Cindy hadn't told me, I wouldn't have believed it.
"Li Mengyun sighed, looking worried.
"Does she think that by subduing Min Hao, she can take advantage of my Cui family? I will ask her to give up her thoughts." Mrs. Cui said and got into the car, leaving only this meaningful sentence.
In the room, the originally harmonious atmosphere became a little strange.
Cui Minhao stood numbly for a few minutes and said, "I'm going to go and rest first." He turned around and walked into the bedroom.
Han Xiaotao looked at her grandfather, sighed, and walked into Min Hao's room.
Cui Minhao sat on the floor with his back against the end of the bed, his head lowered and silent. He didn't even look back when Han Xiaotao came in.
"Min Hao?" Han Xiaotao tried to call him, but he didn't respond. Han Xiaotao could only sit down next to him, not knowing what to say. After thinking about it for a while, thinking that escaping like this was not an option, Han Xiaotao finally dared to
Cui Minhao mustered up the courage to say, "Actually, Auntie may have good intentions. She is willing to come to you, which means she still cares about you." After a pause, Cui Minhao still didn't speak. Han Xiaotao felt helpless and said in a stronger tone: "Hey
, Cui Minhao, don't be so stingy, okay? It's not like you at all! I told you, maybe things are not as bad as you think. I think your mother still cares about you, but you didn't give me anything
You look so good, your mother will be so sad if you do this."
Cui Minhao took a breath and said, "Han Xiaotao, are you out of your mind?"
"Ah?" Han Xiaotao was stunned.
"She said that about you, and you still speak for her? Are you a fool who helped count the money after being sold?" Cui Minhao looked at Han Xiaotao and said in one breath.
Fool? He came to comfort him with good intentions, but was scolded. Han Xiaotao was a little angry at first, but when he saw Cui Minhao's red eyes, he suddenly choked up. When people are sad, they always like to divert their attention.
, maybe bullying her can be regarded as a way of diversion for him? Anyway, she is used to being bullied by him, so Han Xiaotao "willed to fall" for once and endured this tone. "Even if it is like that, Minhao, you don't
What did you do wrong? I spoke to her just to comfort you, and it has nothing to do with her. Besides, you don’t know how much I envy you. Being able to quarrel with your mother is better than not having a mother at all, right?"
Cui Minhao frowned and looked at Han Xiaotao's somewhat lonely profile, and the part that pretended to be strong in his heart seemed to be touched. His Adam's apple rolled, and then he said: "You know what? What I fear most is that you are like this."
Han Xiaotao raised his head and looked at Cui Minhao in confusion. What's going on?
"If you have to wrong yourself for the sake of my relationship with my family, I would rather you not be so kind and not always think about others." Cui Minhao said worriedly. She is such a simple person. If one day, she thinks
She made the Cui family uneasy, and he couldn't imagine what she would do. What he was afraid of was not that his struggle would be fruitless, but that Han Xiaotao would not give him this opportunity.
Han Xiaotao smiled awkwardly and said: "How can I be so great? You know, I must avenge myself. But this time it really doesn't matter! Just say it, I won't lose any meat.
, your mother is like that because she cares about you. I won't be so stingy."
Cui Minhao said: "She knows about our relationship."
Han Xiaotao was stunned for a moment before she realized what Cui Minhao said. "Then...but, but, we are just under contract..."
"Han Xiaotao." Cui Minhao's stern tone made Han Xiaotao tremble in fright. She stopped talking and just looked at him blankly. Cui Minhao said helplessly: "Is there really only a contract between us?"
Han Xiaotao seemed to be frightened by Cui Minhao's serious eyes and was speechless. She didn't even know how to answer this question. But hearing Cui Minhao's words made her feel sad. They
Can the relationship only be maintained by contract? It is a really strange relationship. No wonder Minhao's mother is worried.
Seeing that Han Xiaotao remained silent, Cui Minhao pursed his lips, pulled her into his arms, and held her tightly. "Is it really that difficult?"
"Min Hao..." Han Xiaotao remained motionless, but her heart was in chaos.
"You asked me what I like about you. If this is the reason that bothers you, I will tell you now." Cui Minhao looked at her seriously and seemed to have made a lot of determination. "I like you, not because of you.
What's the matter? It's because you are Han Xiaotao. This is not an impulse. I don't know how to make you believe it, but just like what I said to my grandfather, I am willing to do everything I can to fight for it. I'm just afraid that you will
Back off.”
"Me?" Han Xiaotao lowered her head. "I don't know what to say. In fact, it's not your problem. It's all because of me. Maybe I really need to think about it." She sighed and looked at Cui Minhao again.
"No matter what, Minhao, please go home tomorrow. Whether it's for your mother, yourself, your home, or for me, go home."
Min Hao sighed, nodded and said, "Okay."
Han Xiaotao put on a smile and said, "Have a good rest. When you get up early tomorrow, it will be a new day!" Although she knew that she was escaping, Han Xiaotao was helpless. She returned to her room, lay on the bed, and thought in her mind
Different scenes appeared alternately. Xiaoxiao said that it was a selfish thing not to dare to try in order to protect herself from injury. Maybe she was like that, she would rather be selfish than dare to take that step. She really tried,
But the distance between them made it impossible for her not to be afraid and not to be cautious. Who can really guarantee someone's erratic people's hearts? She turned over and looked at the photo of her mother holding her on the bedside table, and a drop of light flashed in the corner of her eyes.
tears.
I don’t know how long I have been suffering, but there was a noise in the living room.
Han Xiaotao glanced out the window and saw that it was already dark. She climbed out of bed helplessly and as soon as she opened the door, the two people outside looked at her. Han Xiaotao was also frozen by the awkward atmosphere.
I was stunned for a while before I noticed that Min Hao was holding luggage in his hand.
"Xiao Tao, Master Min Hao is leaving, let's go and see him off." Grandpa gestured while biting his cigarette. He seemed to know everything about the younger generation, but he didn't reveal anything about it.
Han Xiaotao glanced at Cui Minhao and hesitated.
Cui Minhao simply said, "No need, you can take the car as soon as you get out." He glanced at Han Xiaotao, turned around and went out without hesitating.
Han Xiaotao stood there for a while, with a tangled look on her face. She turned to look at her grandfather again, and saw that he was getting ready to work calmly, as if he had no intention of participating. But at this moment, he seemed to be
He said to himself: "I have to go and see the flower garden. The flowering period is over. If you don't cultivate the flowers well during this period, you won't be able to bear fruit."
Han Xiaotao looked at her grandfather in surprise, and Cui Minhao's serious expression flashed through her mind. If you miss the flowers, there will be no fruits? Han Xiaotao seemed to understand the implication of her grandfather's words, and was suddenly startled, and then chased after him.
"Cui Minhao!"
Min Hao stood in front of the station sign with his head lowered. When he heard Han Xiaotao's cry, he turned around subconsciously.
Han Xiaotao ran up to him and hugged him, holding his waist tightly with both hands. She didn't know whether it was because she was afraid of being pushed away or because she was too nervous. Her heart was beating wildly in her chest.
Cui Minhao froze on the spot, as if a fire was burning in his chest, instantly igniting his heart.
