After hearing the old man's words, Xue Sheng fell silent.
He didn't agree with his daughter's marriage, but the old man was right, his Xixi deserved better.
That person should not be a grocery store owner.
He didn't nod, only said: "Let me take a look."
It seems that it's time to investigate that pretty boy.
-
In the exquisitely decorated room, pink curtains flutter in the wind.
Xue Yao lay on the bed, holding her mobile phone, choking and crying: "...It doesn't matter if she is good at math, why is she good at physics? What should I do? She has stolen all the limelight. Mom, I am about to be bullied to death.
Already! Wuwuwu..."
There was a capable female voice on the phone: "Yao Yao, you are mistaken."
Xue Yao paused. She stood up and took out a tissue from the table to wipe her tears and nose. She put her phone on speakerphone and said rationally: "Yao Yao, do you know the difference between international schools and ordinary schools?"
Xue Yao threw the paper used to wipe her nose into the trash can and replied with a nasal voice: "I don't know."
"You have won at the starting line since you were born. Most of the people in international schools want to go abroad. In addition to studying, you also need to expand your horizons, network, and cultivate your abilities. She came from the countryside and received exam-oriented education since she was a child. She wants to use
Knowledge changes destiny. If you compete with her in learning, isn't this humiliating yourself?"
"A person's quality and literacy do not only depend on learning. Do you understand what I mean?"
Xue Yao was like enlightened: "Mom, I understand! No matter how good she is at studying, she is just a nerd, but I am a lady from a famous family. Why should I compete with her in studying? I am top-notch in piano, dance, and painting!"
The other party reminded: "The most important thing is self-cultivation. It will be embarrassing if you are always so angry."
Xue Yao rekindled her fighting spirit: "I understand. Mom, now that the aunt is in charge of the family, I can't be as well-off as before."
The Xue family has a rule that children in high school should have a monthly allowance of 100,000 yuan. But in the past, when the old lady was in charge, Xue Yao would go beyond that if she acted coquettishly. Now, Ye Li pays attention to fairness and wants her to be treated the same as that country bumpkin, so she won't do it!
When the other party heard this, he said in a gentle voice: "I'll call your grandma."
Xue Yao's eyes lit up, Mom was about to take action!
She hung up the phone happily.
the other side.
Mrs. Xue was sulking in her room. She was a country bumpkin, and everyone treated her like a treasure!
When she was depressed, the phone rang. After seeing the caller ID, she hurriedly answered: "Yiqiu, when will you and Lao Er come back?"
Liu Yiqiu smiled and said: "Mom, when I go back next week, are you busy checking the accounts now? I'm buying a gift for you, so I'm sorry to bother you."
The old lady immediately said displeasedly: "What's the account? Your sister-in-law has taken away the housekeeping rights at home!"
Liu Yiqiu was suddenly surprised: "What's going on?"
The old lady said it more and more, and finally said: "Yiqiu, please think of a way for me. I don't dare to confront the old man openly, how can I get it back?"
Liu Yiqiu smiled: "Mom, you have been managing the house for so many years. Isn't it easy for your sister-in-law to return your rights to you?"
The old lady was stunned: "What do you mean..."
-
The next day, when Xue Xi woke up and went downstairs, the piano music had just ended. Mrs. Xue applauded vigorously: "Yao Yao, your piano playing is getting better and better!"
Xue Yao stood up gracefully and smiled: "Grandma, what's the point?"
Then she glanced at Xue Xi and walked to the restaurant.
Xue Xi discovered that after one night, Xue Yao's aura of decadence was completely gone, and she returned to her arrogant state of indifference.
She felt it was quite baffling, but it had nothing to do with her. Her eyes fell on the piano, which looked similar to the one in the orphanage.
While staring, Mrs. Xue sneered: "What are you looking at? Bookworm, do you know the piano? Can you play it?"
Xue Xi replied slowly: "I know a little bit."
"How many levels did you take the test?"
Xue Xi paused: "I didn't take the test."
She didn't know what other orphanages were like, but the orphanage she lived in was not short of money and had all kinds of musical instruments. She often went to tinker when she was bored and couldn't learn anything new.
Mrs. Xue curled her lips and said in a showy way: "Our Yaoyao has already obtained the tenth-level certificate when she was in the fifth grade of elementary school. Tsk~"
After finishing speaking, he glanced at her meaningfully.
Xue Xi didn't care at all.
But today, Xue Yao used her meal time to talk about the piano and was only eating now. By the time she finished eating, she had already left the house ten minutes later than usual.
After Xue Xi left, Xue Sheng and Mr. Xue slowly went downstairs to have breakfast and go to work.
The two sat at the dining table, and soon the nanny brought breakfast.
Mr. Xue took a bite of the bun, then turned around and vomited it on the ground. He frowned, but before he could speak, Mrs. Xue said angrily: "Ye Li, what are you doing? I don't know that the old man doesn't like to eat coriander?"
How do you manage the house?"
Ye Li was stunned and said hurriedly: "Dad, I'm sorry. I'll have someone replace it for you right away!"
Mr. Xue hated the taste of coriander the most. He felt angry after eating this thing so early in the morning. He stared at Ye Li, suppressed his anger and stood up: "I won't eat it!"
After saying that, he walked out.
Xue Sheng hurriedly gave Ye Li a comforting look and quickly chased out: "Dad, shall I take you to Baixiang Pavilion for breakfast? Don't you love the Xiao Long Bao there the most?"
After the two of them left, Ye Li frowned and looked at Xiao Fang who was bringing breakfast.
Xiao Fang waved his hands hurriedly: "Madam, it's not me. I didn't put coriander in the buns when I was making them. How could this happen..."
Ye Li took a deep breath. This matter was clearly a trap set by Mrs. Xue, but there were four people in the kitchen. It was probably not Xiao Fang. Who could it be?
-
The car arrived at the grocery store.
After hastily finishing breakfast, Xue Xi held Xiang Huai's hand and glanced at the Gothic clock in the store again. There were still five minutes left. If he didn't leave, he would be late.
Xue Xi gritted her teeth, regardless of the slight pain in her heart, stood up and turned to leave.
But the hand that had just been withdrawn was suddenly grasped by the opponent's big hand.
Immediately, a strong force pulled her around, and Xue Xi fought back hard, causing the two of them to lose their balance and fall onto the shelf next to them.
Xiang Huai put his big arms around her waist, and as he turned, he stood between her and the shelves.
Xue Xi ran headlong into his arms, and the cool breath of a man filled her nostrils.
She looked up in surprise, and saw the man lowering his head, his delicate face only five centimeters away from her. He chuckled in a sultry voice and said, "Kid, would you like a kiss?"
Xue Xi wanted to say no, but as soon as the thought came to her mind, the pain in her heart suddenly intensified!
Her pupils shrank, which meant that she couldn't refuse Xiang Huai?
