He Xiaomei and Xiao Xi didn't chat much. Xiao Xi seemed to have something to do, so He Xiaomei told Xiao Xi to take care of herself before hanging up the phone.
At the Wangcheng International Airport, Long Yixi had just gotten off the plane. Shi Ming went to pick up his luggage. Long Yixi was sitting in the rest area waiting for Shi Ming.
During his free time, Long Yixi took out his mobile phone. He originally wanted to check the recent news on the stock market, but he hadn't seen the news on the stock market yet. However, Long Yixi saw today's headlines in Wangcheng.
Long Yixi suddenly opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe the news.
After reading it, Long Yixi accepted the news in his heart and even knew what was going on.
My mother and aunt must have told the media and asked them to publish it. As the person involved, I didn’t even know that my engagement ceremony was on the 28th of this month.
This news was released in the international section, so it is so influential... everyone abroad knows about it, right? And He Xiaomei, who should be at the construction site at this time, also knows about it, right?
Thinking of He Xiaomei, Long Yixi felt pain in her heart again. She knew the news of her engagement. How did she react? Was she sad?
Long Yixi suddenly had an impulse and immediately took out his mobile phone, preparing to call He Xiaomei to explain, telling her that he had no idea about the engagement and that everything was arranged by his mother and aunt.
But when he was about to dial He Xiaomei's number, Long Yixi stopped.
After thinking about it in his mind, Long Yixi didn't dial it out in the end.
Before, he had promised his mother, and he kept a distance from He Xiaomei and did not contact her. Now if he calls her and explains the matter, will she listen? In other words, the relationship between him and her has changed.
How embarrassing would it be?
After regaining his senses and thinking about all this clearly, Long Yixi exited the address book and took his phone back.
At this time, Shi Ming came over after picking up his luggage, Long Yixi got up, and the two of them left the airport together.
After picking up the car at the airport parking lot, Shi Ming drove towards the city and politely asked Mr. Long, "Mr. Long, do you want to go back to the company or home first?"
"Go home." Long Yixi said, even though he had promised his mother before, but with today's news, he had to talk to his mother.
"OK."
After Shi Ming sent Mr. Long to the Ning family villa, he drove away.
When Long Yixi returned home, he saw his mother sitting alone in the living room. Long Yixi walked straight over.
Seeing that her son was back, He Mei quickly stood up happily, took a few steps forward, smiled and said to her son, "Yixi, you are back, are you tired? Sit down and rest."
"Yes." Long Yixi responded. Although he had objections to his mother's arrangement of his engagement, he still had some courtesy in front of his mother.
After He Mei took her son's hand, they sat down on the sofa together.
He Mei looked at her son's face and said distressedly, "I went on a business trip recently and you lost weight."
Long Yixi said nothing.
He Mei was in a good mood and continued to say happily, "Yixi, your engagement with Jiale..."
"Mom," Long Yixi immediately interrupted his mother before she finished speaking. With a serious expression, he asked her mother, "Why did you set the time for the engagement without my consent?"
He Mei could hear the anger in her son's tone, and He Mei didn't feel that she had done anything wrong. She replied to her son, "You have already promised me before, so I will treat it as if you have agreed to everything and set the time for the engagement."
, I decided after discussing it with your aunt and uncle, so... your consent is not required."
Whatever my son said to me before, I took it as if he had agreed to everything, so I just had to confirm the next thing with Ke Yi Ningwei. Then I would just inform the children to participate. Everything that needed to be prepared would be done by myself.
Just let Ke Yi Ningwei handle it.
Long Yixi felt even more angry at his mother's answer, but she was his mother, and he couldn't talk back to her, or even blame her.
"Mom, I promised you before," Long Yixi continued with a tone full of helplessness, "but can you tell me what you are going to do next? Listen to my thoughts."
"I still need to know the time of my engagement from the news. Have you ever thought about how I feel?" Long Yixi said.
When her son said this, He Mei was more or less aware of the impact of her own decision on her son. She nodded and said, "Well, okay, I will pay attention to it next time. If anything happens next time, I will inform you in advance.
"
"But as promised, I'm just telling you, I'm not discussing with you to let you make a decision." He Mei was worried that her son would go back on what she had promised her, so she explained to her son, "Your aunt and uncle and I make these decisions."
When we do this, we will take into account the situation of you, Jiale, and our family, and we will not let your engagement and marriage affect your work, so you can rest assured."
Long Yixi had too much helplessness in his heart. He didn't care about whether it would affect his work at all, but he cared about...that woman, would she have random thoughts? Will she be...sad?
And it is impossible for me to tell my mother these most true thoughts in my heart.
"Yixi, the engagement time is on the 28th of this month. Your aunt and uncle and I have started preparing for you in the past two days. You and Jiale don't have to worry about anything. We will arrange the venue layout and the invited guests.
," He Mei took this opportunity to tell her son about the engagement, "But you have to spare some time to choose a dress with Jiale."
"After the engagement, you go take wedding photos, and..." He Mei was about to tell her son, but was interrupted by her son.
"Mom," Long Yixi called his mother, interrupted her, and said, "We'll talk about this later, I don't want to hear it today."
My mind was in a mess and I wanted to rest.
"I'll wait to go to the villa. During this period, I'll live there first instead of going back home." Long Yixi said.
He Mei looked surprised and a little surprised, and asked her son, "Yixi, what are you..."
"Don't think too much about it. I'm just busy with work during this period. I usually leave early and come home late, and even work overtime until midnight, which will affect your rest. So if I live alone in the villa, it won't affect your lives.
I feel a little freer myself," Long Yixi said.
In fact, I don't want to face Pei Jiale. I want to be alone for a few days. Moreover, I went to see the villa before. My aunt has arranged everything in the villa, including basic daily necessities. I go there to get some clothes.
And toiletries are all.
He Mei believed her son's explanation and did not force it. She just suddenly thought of something and asked her son immediately, "Yixi, Mom still wants to ask you something." (To be continued)
