Xu Mingyuan glanced at his wrist resting on the steering wheel: "And it's still early, so I want to chat with you for a while."
I made an awkward smile: "How about we talk about something else."
"Why, it's not convenient to answer my question?"
Xu Mingyuan leaned on his seat and looked at me: "It's okay. Just say whatever you have to say. It doesn't matter whether you and Xu promise can come true in the end or not, it won't affect the relationship between you and our family."
"Uncle, aren't you making things difficult for me?"
I stuck the cigarette butt out through the gap in the car window: "To be honest with you, I promise that she has a good personality and good looks. She hangs around behind me all day long. It's a lie to say that I don't like her, but if it rises to
When it comes to marriage, it's a bit too early to think about it.
After all, she is young now and has not determined yet. It is possible that she will fall in love with me today and fall in love with another boy tomorrow. So I think you should not worry about her relationship problems until two years later.
Let’s see what happens.”
Xu Mingyuan said 'hmm': "If you want to say that, I will understand what you mean."
I didn't say anything anymore.
Then he lit another cigarette, and after taking a few puffs, he realized that I had no intention of talking, so he confirmed again: "Your father and I both have the intention of bringing you and Xu Nuo together. We originally planned to get together in a few days."
I mentioned this matter during dinner, but now it seems there is no need to mention it."
I nodded: "Don't mention it for now. It took a lot of effort for me and Xunuo to establish the relationship we have now, which is similar to that of brother and sister. If you mention this to my dad, it will be troublesome if she takes it to heart."
"Well, let's do that."
Afterwards, neither of them said a word and sat in the car for a while.
When Xu Mingyuan finished smoking the cigarette, he asked me: "Are we going over now?"
"You decide."
"Then go now."
The car was already idling, so after he said this, he stepped on the accelerator.
This Mercedes-Benz worth more than one million yuan was racing on the road. It was quite comfortable to sit in the car, but I really felt uncomfortable in my heart.
On the one hand, I was thinking about Zhang Qi who hadn't woken up yet, and on the other hand, I had to think about what I would say after seeing Wang Qinyi for a while, but I think more about Yingying. Every time I think about her, I feel uncomfortable for a while.
, and then gradually became calmer, almost becoming normal.
I stared aimlessly at the scenery outside the car window, not knowing where my thoughts had taken my consciousness.
Until Xu Mingyuan's words brought my attention back: "Gu Yan, don't you have anything to say to me?"
I turned to look at him: "What are you referring to? About promises, or..."
"About myself."
Xu Mingyuan looked forward: "Yesterday you went to my house and met Xu Nuo. She should have told you about the quarrel between me and her mother, right?"
As soon as I heard this, I knew that Xu Mingyuan was going to have a showdown with me.
There was nothing to hide, so I nodded to him: "Yes, I know about this, and not only the quarrel, she showed me the whole story, including the chat records between you and that lady.
But I didn’t take it seriously. After all, for someone like you who is doing business outside and has a relatively high social status, and is surrounded by so many people, it’s normal and understandable for you to occasionally do something for fun.”
Then Xu Mingyuan became happy: "I am such a good daughter. They say that family scandals should not be made public, but she turned around and sold all my bad things to you."
"You can't say that. Maybe Xuanyuan was worried at the time and wanted to find someone to talk to. You should also understand that the fact that parents are getting divorced is like a bolt from the blue to the child. If it happened to me, I would be paralyzed.
"
I tentatively asked Xu Mingyuan: "Mainly, I don't understand what you are thinking. Are you angry for a moment, or do you really want to divorce my aunt?"
"How should I say it?"
Xu Mingyuan tapped the steering wheel twice: "Gu Yan, let me tell you something."
I nodded quickly: "I'll listen to what you say."
"Actually, the people in our family have a special characteristic. They are good-looking. Regardless of whether they have money or not, even if they are running out of food, they have to dress up and look sleek when going out. They are afraid that others will not know that they have the conditions."
Xu Mingyuan had a self-deprecating smile on his lips: "Just like some families, you may seem happy on the surface, but in fact your life is not as happy as you imagined.
This is the situation in my family. To tell you the truth, I haven’t touched Xu Ruo’s mother for five or six years.”
I really didn't expect Xu Mingyuan to be so straightforward. In theory, he shouldn't have said this to me.
I felt a little embarrassed, but I had to put on a serious attitude and asked him: "Why is this? Auntie is well-maintained and has a good temperament. You shouldn't dislike her, right?"
Xu Mingyuan shook his head: "I have never disliked her. After all, I started from scratch. When I first started my business, I promised her that my grandfather would help me a lot. Whether it was the first start-up capital or connections, the old man helped me find the connections.
I will always remember this kindness.
Although later on, as my business grew bigger and bigger, I had less and less time to go home, but the relationship was always there. You can ask Xu Luo. When she was a child, as long as it was a holiday, mother and daughter's birthday, etc., I would make time no matter how busy I was.
Come back and stay with her mother and daughter."
I really wanted Xu Mingyuan to speak directly to the key points, but as a junior, I could only put on a listening posture and stupidly stretched my neck to wait for him to continue.
"This situation lasted until Xu Nuo entered the third year of junior high school."
Xu Mingyuan paused, maybe struggling a little: "My mother-in-law was a high school teacher before she retired. I wanted Xu Nuo to have a sprint before the high school entrance examination, so I sent her to live with my grandma and grandpa that year, but I really didn't expect that.
This move will delay the promise."
Speaking of this, Xu Mingyuan sighed again: "They are too spoiled with children. Originally, they promised to love to play, so the old couple gave them pocket money in handfuls. But in the end, this girl took the money and went to the Internet cafe to talk to those people in society.
The half-grown boys hang out together, either skipping school or falling in love and fighting all day long.
At that time, the head teacher called me and her mother on the phone every three days, which made the conflict between us more and more serious. She blamed me for not caring about the children, and I blamed her parents and her mother for not knowing education. After going back and forth like this, the two of us began to quarrel all day long.
, and I became less and less willing to go home.
But even when the conflict was at its deepest, I didn't have any thoughts of divorcing her mother. Until one night, I planned to go home and have a good chat with her about the future of our children, and by the way, we could resolve the conflict between the two of us for more than half a year.
But as soon as I entered the house, I found a pair of men's shoes lying next to my shoe cabinet."
