Qin Qing was not the only one to be tortured on such a night, her sister-in-law also suffered the same fate.
Xiang Wan returned home as soon as possible after the exchange meeting. After getting off the plane, she hurried to the hotel. Although it was already ten o'clock in the evening, she still wanted to say "Happy Birthday" to her grandfather before twelve o'clock.
Who would have known that she was stopped by Xu Jue as soon as she came out, and Xu Jue took her back to the airport.
"Xu Jue, what are you doing?" Xiang Wan shook off Xu Jue's hand: "Can you please stop making trouble? Do you know that I worked overtime for several nights in a row in order to rush back to celebrate my grandpa's birthday?"
"Xiao Wan, I can't live without you!" Xu Jue took her hand again: "Come with me, we will go back to London and be together like we have been for the past ten years, no quarrels, no conflicts, just you and me, or you want
If we want a child, we will have one, no, one is too few, we can have a few more, Xiao Wan, you..."
"Xu Jue, what did you do?" Xiang Wan looked at him doubtfully: "What did you say to my grandfather?"
"I said I want to marry you."
"You're crazy!"
"Yes, I'm just crazy. When I think about your family helping you with blind dates everywhere, I'm going to die!" Xu Jue hugged his head with a painful expression: "Xiao Wan, please, come with me!"
"No!" Xiang Wan resolutely refused: "I don't want it, Xu Jue. I can't let go of my mother or my grandparents again. I can't be so selfish and throw all the burdens to Xiao Chu. How great is love? You
You can love me for ten years, twenty years, or even a hundred years, but my relatives also love me so much. What can I give in return? I just want to protect them."
"No, you can't leave me!" Xu Jue grabbed Xiang Wan's hand like crazy, and soon a pair of handcuffs wrapped around Xiang Wan's wrists: "I won't let you leave, Xiaowan, I will take you away.
"
"Xu Jue, you..." Xiang Wan was about to struggle when Xu Jue hugged her from behind and raised his hand to seal her mouth.
Xiang Wan returned to Xiang's house with Xu Jue early the next morning. Xu Jue didn't really take her abroad against her will the night before. He just found a nearby hotel and trapped her for the night.
Xiang Wan will probably never forget Xu Jue's painful expression for the rest of his life. He just looked at Xiang Wan who was tied to the bed by him, and looked at it seriously.
"Xiao Wan, maybe I can force you to do anything, but I never dare to kill your desire for family affection. I know that you lost your father when you were a child, and your grandma doesn't like you. You long for them to recognize you. You want
Be obedient and marry someone they think is a good match, and let them see the value of your existence."
Xu Jue raised his hands to cover his face, tears overflowing from his fingers: "It's my fault that I'm incompetent. I can't have a strong background. I'm sorry. If this is also your choice, I will leave and take our ideas with us in London.
To live the dream.”
Xiang Wan cried. She longed for the approval of her family more than others, not because she lost her father when she was young, but because her grandma once disliked her. She wanted to be recognized by her grandma and wanted to reflect her own value.
Xiang Wan never knew that Xu Jue would understand her so well. Yes, Xu Jue was indeed the most suitable man for her, and she loved him too. But how much weight does love have in front of family? Born in such a family, she had seen strong people.
In the case of love that doesn't last long, she doesn't dare to take risks or put family affection and love on the two ends of the scale to measure and compare.
Because, no matter which party loses, the other party will drop the scale and it may break.
Xu Jue kept talking like this all night, recalling their time in London, and every scene was familiar before his eyes.
She remembered them making out on the red roof, remembering them arguing over a medical principle, her throwing the plate and him continuing...
Finally, Xu Jue let her go at dawn: "You go home. This night, I will treat it as my dream has come true. I will treat you as I have eloped with you."
Xiang Wan didn't know which muscle was cramping at that time, so she pulled Xu Jue back home, so now the two of them were kneeling at the door of the old man's room.
After Xiang Chubei and his wife heard what Sister Ying said about this, they rushed over to watch the excitement without even eating breakfast. Now they are eating breakfast together at the dining table.
"Honey, it's a good thing you married me before you were thirty, otherwise... tsk tsk, look..." Xiang Chubei pointed at his sister: "You are still kneeling on the floor at the age of thirty. It's shameful, so shameful!"
"Xiang Chubei, will you die if you don't speak?" Xiang Wan roared, regretting it to death.
However, she and Xu Jue were already kneeling at the door. Was she going to stand up and tell Xu Jue to go away? This was too cowardly. She never had a beginning and an end to her work. She would be fine after her grandfather's anger subsided.
"Achu, why is she so angry?"
"I heard that women who are not satisfied in certain aspects will lose their temper, so my wife, you have the best temper in the world." Xiang Chubei rubbed the top of his wife's head.
Qin Qing was stunned and blushed. Isn't this guy praising his abilities in disguise? Shameless!
Xiang Wan was about to fight back when the door to the old man's room opened and the old lady came out. She glanced at the two people on the ground, snorted coldly, and then walked towards the living room.
"Good morning, grandma." Qin Qing greeted.
The old lady smiled: "You guys are back so early?"
"Yes, grandma, I miss you."
The old lady glanced at Xiang Wan: "Yes, some people are just playing outside and forget their own last name, even their grandfather's birthday."
Xu Jue felt guilty and had to admit her mistake: "It's my fault, Grandma Xiang..."
"Shut up. I'm teaching Xiang's daughter a lesson. Who are you to interrupt?" The old lady crossed her legs and said, "Your grandpa is in good health. Do you want something to happen to him when you kneel down on him?"
"Mom, I'm just apologizing to grandpa!" Xiang Wan whispered. After all, she was at fault first. No wonder the old lady was so weird.
The old lady glanced at Xu Jue: "What does that person do?"
"To grandma, I implore you again..."
"You were the one who detained our Xiao Wan last night?" The old lady interrupted Xu Jue: "You are really capable. You dare to touch anyone from the Xiang family. How big is your Xu family's family background?"
"Milk, it's not like that..."
"Old lady, people from the Xu family are here." Sister Ying reported: "They have arrived at the second gate. Did you see them or not? They looked very anxious. They said they were here to apologize for the children of the Xu family."
When the old lady heard this, she was happy: "Who are there? Is Xu Qinghua here?"
"Here we come!" Sister Ying smiled and stood behind the old lady.
The old lady snorted coldly and picked up the red robe on the little nanny: "The second door is cold..."
Qin Qing thought that the old lady would say, "Let's invite them in." Who knew, the old lady didn't say a word after drinking tea for a long time.
About ten minutes later, the old lady straightened her clothes: "Then let them wait."
