"Auntie, why don't you just buy a few pairs? It's too hard to do this by hand."
Tan Shi couldn't help laughing.
Ge Xiaozhu said, "It is my mother's wish to make a few pairs of shoes for Yuzhu with my own hands. If I buy them, I will use the money Xiaodao gave me, so I still want to make a few pairs myself."
Tan Shi was stunned.
I didn't expect my aunt to think so.
While the two of them were talking, Xu Tongdao, who was serving tea in the restaurant, glanced back at them and narrowed his eyes, roughly guessing what Tan Shi might want to say to his mother.
When his mother told him about it before, she said that Tan Shi was willing to be with him.
After thinking about it, he walked to the living room with two cups of tea, handed one of them to Tan Shi, and said, "Sister, come upstairs with me. I have something to tell you."
Tan Shi was a little surprised, but she immediately nodded and stood up, holding the tea cup and walking into the elevator with him.
As the elevator door closed, Tan Shi, who still didn't know Comrade Xu's attitude towards them, became a little nervous.
There were only two of them in the elevator at this time.
This inevitably made her have some thoughts - is he going to tell me that? Is he willing to be with me? What does he want to say to me?
For a moment, Tan Shi had many thoughts in her mind. The more she thought about it, the faster her heart beat. Her face gradually turned a little red, and she no longer dared to look at Tongdao Xu.
The elevator soon reached the third floor. As the elevator door opened, Comrade Xu walked out first, followed by Tan Shi holding a tea cup.
To her surprise, after Tongdao Xu stepped out of the elevator, he did not go to the bedroom or study. Instead, he stopped by the window in the corridor, looked at her, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Tan Shi smiled, took a sip of tea, and asked with a fake smile: "Xiaodao, what do you want to say to me?"
Comrade Xu felt a little embarrassed to speak for a while.
After all, Tan Shi is his cousin. Although they didn't grow up together, they see each other every New Year and they are close friends. Therefore, it's hard for him to say some things too bluntly or hurt her face.
but……
He also wanted to make his attitude clear to her as early as possible, so as not to delay it for a long time and hurt her even more.
It would be good for both of them to get rid of her thoughts as soon as possible.
"Huh? Why don't you speak?"
When Tan Shi saw that Comrade Xu was silent and did not speak, she couldn't help but frown.
I already had a bad feeling in my heart.
And her inquiry made Xu Tongdao no longer hesitate and said to her immediately: "Sister, I got divorced recently. My mother always wants me to find another one as soon as possible. I hope you can understand her feelings."
Tan Shi frowned even more tightly.
The bad feeling in her heart became stronger.
But she still nodded and said with a smile: "Well, I can understand. Don't talk about you. My mother often calls me to urge me to get married."
Xu Tongdao smiled faintly, sighed softly, and looked out the window, "But sister, I don't plan to get married again in this life. I don't know what my mother told you specifically. If what she said caused you trouble,
, here I apologize to you on her behalf, and I hope you can forgive her."
Tan Shi: "..."
Looking at Tongdao Xu with a frown, the smile on Tan Shi's face slowly faded, and her face turned slightly pale. Although she had a bad premonition just now, when she really heard what Tongdao Xu said, she still felt very sad.
Not the taste.
Her Tan Shi...was actually rejected?
Growing up, because she was pretty and had good academic performance, and later she got a job, with a decent job and a high income, so she had always rejected others, so that when she was in her early thirties, she felt rejected by others.
, it’s really my first time to taste it.
She suddenly thought of a lyric - love is like that bitter coffee.
She was not sure if there was love between herself and Tongdao Xu, but she clearly felt that her heart was bitter at the moment.
This is what it feels like to be rejected...
Looking at Xu Tongdao's profile, she laughed at herself.
At this moment she had two thoughts in mind.
One is: Yes! He is now the richest man in the province. What kind of woman can’t be found? How could he like me?
The other one is: Damn! Although I am a few years older than you, I am still unmarried! You are divorced and have two procrastinators, but you don’t like me? I am your cousin! You treat you like this
Cousin, do you have a conscience? My sister was very kind to you when you were a child! Which year did you not give you delicious food during the Chinese New Year?
After two different thoughts flashed through her mind, they finally turned into a considerate sentence, "It's okay! I can understand it. As for whether I forgive you, let alone not talking about it. But, Xiaodao, it doesn't matter if we don't get along.
As your cousin, I still want to advise you
I advise you, you are still young and your future life is still so long. Don’t draw a wall for yourself. Only by opening your heart can you embrace a new life. I hope you can come out of the shadow of your past marriage as soon as possible and find another one.
What you like."
Xu Tongdao was still looking out the window. Hearing this, he smiled, shook his head slightly, and sighed: "Sister, please don't try to persuade me. Anyway, I have children. It doesn't matter whether I remarry or not. It's you who are still there until now."
You're not married yet, so everyone is worried about you, so why not let your aunt and uncle always be disappointed?"
Tan Shi laughed and nodded, "I know, I will do my best, and so will you!"
Comrade Xu was amused by her words, "Come on, too."
…
Ge Xiaozhu downstairs thought that his son Xu Tongdao called Tan Shi upstairs to talk about work.
After watching the two of them go upstairs, Ge Xiaozhu had no intention of continuing to put on the soles of his shoes. He sat on the sofa, stopped his sewing, and sighed.
She frowned and thought about it for a while. After Tan Shi came downstairs, if she asked her what the trail meant and whether she agreed to follow her everywhere, how should she answer?
After thinking for a while, Ge Xiaozhu didn't even think of how to answer.
So, naturally, I became more and more troubled.
but……
What surprised her was that after Tan Shi came downstairs, he said a few words to her, and didn't mention anything about Comrade Xu until he said goodbye.
Didn't she come today to ask me about this?
Looking at Tan Shi's leaving figure, Ge Xiaozhu was puzzled.
She was even thinking: Does this girl Xiaoshi not want to be with Xiaodao? The reason why she didn't refuse last time was because she didn't want to lose face as my aunt?
Thinking of this possibility, Ge Xiaozhu couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
She felt that she might have been paired with someone blindly this time. Neither of them wanted to be together. If she interfered, it might make her son and Xiaoshi embarrassed when they meet in the future.
…
Time flies.
It's the end of the year again in a blink of an eye.
Tongdao Xu is busy again. As the president of the group and the chairman of Ximen Real Estate, he still has to attend some year-end summary meetings.
However, overall, it is much easier than in previous years.
Most meetings at the end of this year were attended by CEO Xu Tonglu.
