Is this the kind of life she lives every day in the Chen family?
He was humble and humble, even though he had given everything, yet he was held captive by the so-called kindness of the Chen family.
If he stretched out his hand to her at this time, she would be willing to hold it, right?
It's just that it's impossible for the Xing family to accept Qiao Zhishu.
Xing Huo stared at the cup of tea. The tea was steaming with steam, and it was as if he could see her face reflected in it. It was a bit bitter like the taste of the first sip of tea.
He has been planning for so long, so there must be no mistakes in the whole thing, otherwise all the efforts will be wasted.
Chen Wenshi pointed to the unfinished chessboard on the table and motioned for Xing Huo to continue.
At this time, the man had become an out-and-out manipulator. Qiao Zhishu watched him lean over and place his slender fingers on the chess piece.
Will he win this game of chess?
Can he win?
Of course, Xing Huo likes to play the long game to catch big fish. The chess game is like a battlefield. Just like all the Chen family and Qiao Zhishu at this time, everyone is a chess piece, and everyone's fate seems to be at his fingertips.
between.
Chen Wenshi thought he was sure of victory, but unexpectedly he was defeated by the opponent.
Chen Ying clapped and smiled, "Brother Huo is still awesome. Dad, you say your chess skills are good every day. It seems you still need to practice."
Chen Wenshi was resigned to losing. Although he lost, his face was full of smiles.
He nodded at Chen Ying with his finger fondly, "Before I get married, you only focus on helping others. If you get married in the future, it will be even worse. Are you afraid that you will even forget about your mother's family?"
Chen Ying was so shy that she couldn't help but lean towards Xing Huo, bumping into the man tentatively with her shoulder.
"Dad, what are you talking nonsense about? I don't even have a boyfriend..."
She had always wanted Xing Huo to give her an answer, but this man was as cold as an iceberg and she couldn't fathom his heart at all.
If he had no intention of her, why would he come to the house every three days?
Xing Huo took a 'general' from the chessboard and held it gently in the palm of his hand. The pads of his thumbs rubbed against the lines carved on the chess piece. This matter could not be delayed any longer.
When Qiao's mother came out, she saw Qiao Zhishu standing aside.
The cup of tea in front of Xing Huo remained untouched. Chen Wenshi's words just now were actually a tentative olive branch.
But Xing Huo didn't answer, and Chen Wenshi felt a little disappointed.
"Uncle Chen." He heard Xing Huo suddenly say, "How about our two families get married."
The living room suddenly became extremely quiet, as if everyone's breathing had stopped.
Chen Ying lightly covered her mouth with her palm. She didn't dare to say anything, fearing that she might have heard wrongly and make a joke.
Mother Qiao next to her was the first to react, with an excited voice, "Congratulations to Mr., Mrs., and congratulations to Miss!"
Qiao Zhishu was so shocked by those words that she didn't react for a moment. Chen Ying's smile gradually grew in her eyes, and she couldn't even hide it.
"Brother Huo, are you serious?"
Xing Huo raised his eyes and glanced at Qiao Zhishu. Although he didn't stay long, that look forced Qiao Zhishu to look away.
"How could I joke about such a big thing as a marriage? I'll arrange a time for my parents to come over some other day. The due etiquette will still be the same."
Xing Huo made all arrangements, and then he remembered to ask the Chen family for their opinion, "I wonder if Uncle Chen is willing?"
"Yes, Brother Huo, I know you like me."
Chen Ying had already wrapped her arms around Chen Wenshi before he could speak.
Chen Wenshi longed for such a day, but he still said: "Yingying, you are a girl after all, be more reserved!"
Who doesn't know how high the threshold is for the Xing family in Shangyu City? Mrs. Chen met Xing Huo's mother several times, and she said that the two children were interested in each other, but Mrs. Xing had eyes on the top of her head.
They say there is no rush for Xing Huo's marriage, as the daughter-in-law should be chosen slowly. After all, the Xing family feels that Chen Ying is just too high-spirited.
It's better now.
Mrs. Chen couldn't help being happy, and everyone was immersed in joy.
Qiao Zhishu should also laugh. After all, in this case, she wouldn't have to worry about Xing Huo doing any weird things to her anymore.
Chen Ying leaned her head lightly on the man's shoulder and looked at Qiao Zhishu with pride in her eyes.
