Along the way, Xue Xi was thinking about the strange things that happened today.
She gently covered her chest with green-white fingers, and her expressionless eyes showed a bit of confusion. There was nothing abnormal about her body when she was at school in the afternoon.
But the pain I felt that morning is still shocking when I think about it now.
If you don't fall in love, you will die... Why is this happening?
She didn't have a clue until she got home. When she was about to walk upstairs absentmindedly, Xue Yao's surprised voice came from behind: "Uncle Fan, Aunt Fan!"
Xue Xi paused slightly, and then she realized that there was a guest at home.
The old lady was sitting on the sofa in the living room with a smile on her face, but Ye Li was sitting next to her in despair. Her eyes were red at the moment, and she had obviously just cried.
Opposite the three of them sat two middle-aged people, a man and a woman. The woman smiled at Xue Yao first, then her eyes fell on Xue Xi, she scanned her up and down and then curled her lips slightly, with a frivolous tone: "
Is this Xixi? She looks pretty..."
Xue Xi paused, but before she spoke, the old lady snorted: "Yes, I grew up in an orphanage. I didn't have much tutoring. I couldn't even call people. I was dull. How is it like our Yaoyao?
Smart and sensible, diligent and eager to learn.”
"…………"
Xue Xi decisively closed her mouth.
Xue Yao smiled sweetly, trotted and sat next to the old lady, held her arm coquettishly, and asked in a friendly and flattering way: "Uncle, aunt, why are you here?"
The two of them suddenly looked embarrassed and said nothing.
However, the old lady said indifferently: "Let's discuss the marriage contract between the two families! You are about to celebrate your 18th birthday. After your birthday, I will give it to you and the Fan family boy..."
"Mom!" The words were suddenly interrupted by Ye Li, "This engagement is with Xixi, you can't do this!"
The old lady drooped her eyelids and spoke in a serious tone: "The Fan family and we are close friends. The engagement was made so that the two families could work together and the relationship would be further developed. If you insist on letting Xue Xi marry, you are not harming Fan.
Home? That’s not getting married, it’s enmity!”
Ye Li stood up suddenly and shouted aggrievedly: "How come we are enemies when we marry Xixi?"
She felt very sad that the daughter she had worked so hard to find was so rejected.
But the old lady didn't think she was going too far at all, "Since you asked that, let me make it clear. We all know how good Fan Han is. He has been number one in all aspects since he was a child. This child has a promising future. And we all know how good Fan Han is.
What about Xue Xi? How can she, an idiot, be worthy of Fan Han? Do they have something in common? "
"Fan Han discusses academic issues with her, can she answer them well? Fan Han goes to a banquet, can she dance? Can she play the piano? She knows nothing! If two people are together, it will be a joke.
!”
"But our Yaoyao has always been outstanding. When she is with Fan Han, she is called a talented man and a beautiful woman, a golden boy and a beautiful girl."
Ye Li was speechless. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but the old lady didn't give her a chance to speak. Instead, she looked at Xue Xi: "Xue Xi, what do you think?"
As soon as she said this, several people in the living room looked at her.
Faced with the eyes that looked at him, looked at him, or looked worried, Xue Xi frowned.
Although she had only been back for a day, she had already figured out the situation of the family.
The partial grandma, the weak but sincere mother, and the malicious cousin, these two elders of the Fan family who obviously look down on her... are a bit annoying.
As for Fan Han - during class today, she noticed such a person. How could he be so outstanding as this group of people said? At least not to mention other things, just in terms of appearance, he was far behind the men in the shop.
.
A trace of impatience flashed in Xue Xi's beautiful big eyes, and she said slowly: "That's it."
After saying that, she withdrew her gaze indifferently and walked upstairs, leaving only the people in the living room looking at each other.
Why does this gesture make it seem like she doesn't care about Fan Han that much?
Mrs. Fan frowned, feeling a little unhappy in her heart.
After a while, the old lady smiled: "Since Xue Xi is self-aware, then the matter is settled! Let's discuss the children's engagement."
The atmosphere is relaxing in vain.
In this situation, Xue Yao was not suitable to stay at the scene. She stood up and said, "Let's talk about it. My cousin may not have done very well in the exam today. She handed in the paper in just half an hour. I'm going to see if she needs help.
"
Before shyly running upstairs, she didn't forget to complain to Xue Xi.
Ye Li tensed her chin and looked at Fan's mother. Sure enough, she saw disdain flashing in her eyes. She hurriedly explained in a pale tone: "There are only nine years of compulsory education in the orphanage. I haven't learned the high school courses. It's normal."
, I was thinking about finding a tutor for Xixi..."
The old lady sneered and interrupted her: "Is it useful to ask for a tutor? I think it's a waste of money. It's better to buy more clothes for Yaoyao... Our Xue family's children are very smart. This child is so stupid. What's wrong with your family?"
His genes may mean he will also be a lunatic in the future!"
Ye Li suddenly blushed with embarrassment.
She clenched her fingers tightly, and a flash of anger flashed in her eyes.
Ye family...her father was originally a university professor, but he suddenly became mentally ill a few years ago. Since then, the old lady who didn't like her has been sarcastic and sarcastic about her.
Now she is cursing her daughter...
Ye Li stood up in confusion, "Mom, I'm fine no matter what you say, but you can't say that to Xixi!"
"Snapped!"
Although the old lady was old, she was not slow at all. She slapped Ye Li hard on the face and interrupted her: "It's against you! How dare you talk back to me in front of the guests! Now we
We need to discuss Yaoyao's marriage. It's nothing to do with you. Get out of here and don't embarrass yourself here!"
Ye Li's cheeks were burning and she looked at the old lady in disbelief.
After a while, she covered her face and ran upstairs.
-
Although the room Xue Xi lived in was not as exquisite and beautiful as the one decorated by Ye Li, it was spacious and bright enough.
She threw her schoolbag casually on the desk and immediately lay down on the bed, with her hands behind her head, staring blankly at the light purple gauze curtain fluttering in the wind.
Perhaps because she grew up in an orphanage, she had no ambition since she was a child.
My only hobby is studying.
She has an almost pathological desire for knowledge. But the things she can usually come into contact with are too superficial, and advanced contents can only be found in higher education institutions.
Therefore, her goal is to get into the best university.
But, we have to wait another year.
While I was thinking, there was a commotion downstairs.
Thinking that Ye Li was still downstairs, Xue Xi stood up, opened the door, and met her who had just gone upstairs.
Ye Li paused and turned her face subconsciously, not wanting her daughter to see her like this. But when she passed by Xue Xi, she grabbed her wrist. Xue Xi's eyes were sharp and her voice was cold: "You,
