Zhuo Yilin looked at Fei Xue with extremely complicated eyes, but out of his usual gentleness, he did not refute directly.
There was a moment of silence between the two, and then he said tactfully: "You don't know Feng Ru well, so it's normal for you to think so."
How could Fisher fail to hear the deeper meaning in his words?
"You think I think of her too badly, don't you?"
"Xiaoxue, can we not discuss this topic? The situation is like this now. She may not be able to survive this test. I really wronged you by leaving early, but..."
Zhuo Yilin didn't know what to say.
He did care about Fisher in his heart, but he really couldn't leave Feng Qian's situation alone.
After all, it was a human life, and after all, his life had been saved.
Now, people are dying...
And he and Fisher still have countless days to spend together in the rest of their lives.
They are not in a hurry.
Fei Xue was very upset, but it was the first day of the new year and there were so many guests at home. She didn't want to get into trouble with Zhuo Yilin over this matter and make people laugh.
So, she silently consumed the negative emotions, but she couldn't bring a smile to her face, so she said lightly: "Okay, I understand that human life is at stake. You can leave tomorrow after the engagement banquet is over."
Zhuo Yilin thought she would object, stop, or even quarrel with him, but he didn't expect her to agree so readily.
It made him feel really bad.
"Xiaoxue, I know you are definitely unhappy. I promise... I will try my best to come back after this matter is dealt with." He squeezed Fisher's hand tightly, trying in vain to express something, but Fisher
But he stood up and walked to the window sill.
"No, you are so busy with work and running back and forth is too much of a delay. You might as well seize the time to finish your studies and return home early."
Fisher spoke very calmly, but in fact, he was terribly blocked in his heart.
Who wants to be a considerate and considerate lady?
Now she just wants to grab Zhuo Yilin's clothes and make a fuss: Don't go! You have repaid her enough, why do you have to rush even our life-long events? Can you change the outcome if you go back?
?
This thought existed crazily in her mind for a while, and then she suppressed it.
Zhuo Yilin stood up slowly and looked at his girlfriend's back. He didn't dare to step forward. He just stood there and apologized again: "Xiaoxue, I'm sorry...at the same time, thank you for your understanding and support."
Hearing such polite words made Fisher feel even more upset and almost burst into tears.
During lunch, everyone could tell that something was wrong with the atmosphere between the two. Fei's mother looked at her several times, but her daughter's eyes flickered and she forced a smile.
Thinking that tomorrow was the engagement party, she didn't want the two of them to cause any trouble, so Fei's mother directly asked Zhuo Yilin: "What's going on with you two? You were so sweet when we met in the morning, why are you acting like this now?
Didn’t they all talk to each other? Did they have a quarrel?”
Zhuo Yilin knew that this matter could not be bypassed by his elders.
Moreover, it happened because of him, so it was up to him to explain it to his elders himself.
"Uncle, aunt, it's like this. After the engagement party tomorrow, I have to take a flight to Switzerland in the evening. There is an emergency there and I need to go and deal with it." Zhuo Yilin said while looking at Fei worriedly.
Snow.
He didn't mean not to make it clear, he just didn't want to irritate Fisher by saying that thing again.
But before Fei's mother asked any more questions, Fei Yang blurted out: "What's so urgent? Can't you ask someone else to help handle it?"
"This... is a bit troublesome."
"you--"
Fei Yang was about to continue questioning when Fei Xue suddenly said: "Brother, please stop asking. He is really in a hurry. Let him go."
Sometimes people are very strange. When they encounter grievances and no one cares about them, they can carry them alone and support them strongly.
But once someone suddenly becomes concerned, his emotions spiral out of control and he collapses.
Fisher is now.
As soon as her brother asked more questions, she couldn't hold back anymore, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red. After she finished quarreling with her brother, she sternly scolded Zhuo Yilin: "You can leave early tomorrow morning, the engagement is over."
As soon as this was said, everyone at the table was surprised.
Zhuo Yilin's worry could not be escaped in the end, but he did not expect that it would not be when the two of them were alone, but in front of the entire Fei family.
"Xiaoxue, don't be like this, of course we will get engaged." He quickly expressed his stance.
Fei Yuqiang had been silent at first, thinking that it was best for young people to solve their own problems. Once the elders got involved, things became more complicated.
But now when he heard his daughter say that she would not hold an engagement party, he had to take it seriously.
"What's going on? Tell me clearly. Why did Yi Lin rush back?" As soon as Fei Yuqiang opened his mouth, the whole table fell silent.
Zhuo Yilin originally wanted to avoid this matter, but now he still had to mention it.
"It's the girl who saved my life. She was in emergency and was in danger..."
Fei's mother looked surprised and asked doubtfully: "How could this happen? I heard Xiaoxue say before... isn't she recovering well?"
"It is impossible to recover from her physical condition, and the condition will worsen if the care is not careful."
Everyone at the table was silent.
After all, no one is Zhuo Yilin, and no one can empathize with and understand this matter.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, it is a top priority that is as big as the sky.
In front of human life, everything seems insignificant.
Let alone an engagement, even a wedding banquet can be left alone.
"In this case, we won't say anything more. You two can discuss it. If you are really pressed for time, it's not impossible to postpone the engagement..." Fei Yuqiang was naturally dissatisfied with Zhuo Yilin's move, but he couldn't fault it.
If you make a mistake, you can only be a reasonable elder.
But Zhuo Yilin said anxiously: "The engagement is going on as scheduled. I won't leave until tonight, so I have time."
When he said this, he stared at Fisher unblinkingly.
But Fisher always avoided his gaze.
Mother Fei looked at the two of them, feeling helpless, and quickly smoothed things over: "Okay, okay, let's eat. I thought it was such a big deal, but this little thing is not worth it. Don't make any noise during the Chinese New Year."
Zhuo Yilin quickly spoke for Fei Xue: "We didn't quarrel. Xiaoxue was very considerate of me. I am ashamed of Xiaoxue."
His attitude was so sincere and he took all the responsibilities on his own initiative, which made the Fei family obviously unhappy and unable to say anything else.
During the meal, the table was full of delicacies, but everyone had no appetite for the food, especially Fisher, who was even more tasteless.
In the afternoon, after Zhuo Yilin left, Fei's mother pulled her daughter over and asked her in detail what was going on.
After asking, I found out that Feng Qian's sudden crisis was caused by Feng Ru's accident while feeding.
The women all had the same idea, and Fei’s mother also doubted whether Feng Ru did it on purpose. After all, everyone has watched bloody romance movies for decades—it’s how they are played in TV series. This is human nature.
Fisher's eyes were dull and listless, and he said calmly: "But Zhuo Yilin doesn't believe that woman is this kind of person."
"Hey..." Fei's mother didn't know what to say for a moment. She just looked at her daughter and said worriedly, "I told you a long time ago that his situation will be more difficult to deal with than the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Think about it clearly. We are not engaged yet.
, everything comes in time..."
Fisher looked at his mother, his eyes revealing surprise, reluctance and sadness.
Fei's mother quickly added: "I'm not advising you to break up, I just think you have to think carefully. You choose the person. Just don't cry and complain to me in the future."
————
All night long, Fisher tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
For a moment, she really wanted to pick up her phone and send a message to Zhuo Yilin.
For example: We are still not suitable, let’s break up.
But I picked up my phone several times and thought about what if the two of them really broke up - just thinking about it, the pain in my heart felt like it was being torn apart.
She was so worthless, she hated herself!
Later, she thought about it alone until midnight, worried that her brain would split if she continued thinking about it, so she had to comfort herself.
If Feng Qian really passed away unfortunately, wouldn't this burden be easily relieved?
So what's the point of her breakup?
On the contrary, Zhuo Yilin would think that she was willful and unreasonable, threatening him with breakup and preventing him from visiting his savior.
If Zhuo Yilin was really threatened by her and failed to rush back to Switzerland in time to avoid breaking up with her, thus missing Feng Qian's last moment, would she become a sinner and a villain in Zhuo Yilin's heart?
If this is the case, then the two of them are really not far away from breaking up.
After thinking about all the pros and cons, she quickly felt relieved.
Forget it, just be generous for once. She will want whoever she falls in love with first, life and death.
The consequence of insomnia is that your eyes will be severely swollen the next day.
Even the delicate makeup couldn't cover the dark shadows under her eyes, and her whole face looked a little tired.
Zhuo Yilin didn't look much better, and there were dark circles under his eyes, but he was elegant and gentle, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and his noble temperament covered up the flaws on his face.
The engagement party was very grand.
The venue was decorated so beautifully and romantically that if an unsuspecting person broke in, they would think it was someone's wedding banquet.
Fisher was still a little unhappy in the morning, but now he looked at the handsome Zhuo Yilin and felt the romantic atmosphere. Unknowingly, his mood improved a lot.
The status of the Zhuo family was obvious. When the relatives of the Fei family saw Zhuo Yueluan's arrival, they all enthusiastically and proactively came forward to greet her and increase their sense of presence.
The female relatives even said to Fei's mother enviously: "Xiaoxue's life is really good. If she marries such a famous family, it will be even more amazing in the future."
Fei's mother was praised by relatives and friends in various ways, and she was a little overwhelmed. Then she looked at her daughter standing next to Zhuo Yilin, with a shy and blushing face. The two looked at each other affectionately, and the anxiety in her heart also dissipated.
Marriage cannot be perfect.
For my daughter to have such a destination, she has surpassed countless others.
After the engagement party officially started, both Zhuo Yilin and his son took the stage to speak.
Zhuo Yueluan said a few words briefly, saying that he would treat Fisher as his own daughter and would never let her be wronged.
For a man of his status to make such a promise in public, everyone in the Fei family would benefit from it and their reputation would be greatly enhanced.
The microphone was transferred to Zhuo Yilin's hand. He turned slightly to look at his fiancée beside him, held her hand, and his gentle tone slowly spread throughout the audience: "Xiaoxue is the light in my life, I will cherish her forever,
Love her so that she will not regret being with me."
"Xiaoxue, thank you for coming into my life. When I return to China, I will marry you immediately and never let you be wronged again."
Only those who are familiar with this last sentence will understand what it means.
Fisher thought about the person she had been in love with for several years, the person she once thought she would never be able to reach in this life, and now he has become her fiancé. She felt that all the hardships were rewarded, and her eyes filled with tears.
.
"Okay, Zhuo Yilin, I will remember what you said today. If you break your promise, so many witnesses here will criticize you verbally." Fei Xue smiled with red eyes, pretending to be arrogant.
Seeing that she was finally willing to talk to him openly, Zhuo Yilin felt much more relaxed. He couldn't help but hug her and promised in her ear: "No, I'm the only one in this life."
Qian Qian was sitting among the guests, watching the two people hugging each other tightly, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Among the guests, there was another line of sight, quietly watching all this with a kind of attitude of watching the excitement.
As one of the few local relatives of the Zhuo family, Lu Jiaming was naturally invited to such occasions.
He had been secretly staring at Fisher since he arrived.
For some reason, he felt that Fei Xue was not happy and she looked lackluster. Even when Zhuo Yilin spoke just now, she looked a little aggrieved and forbearing.
He wondered in his mind: Could it be that... the two of them had a quarrel before they got engaged?
When the banquet started, Fisher went to the lounge to touch up his makeup.
As soon as I came out, I met Lu Jiaming who was blocked in the corridor.
Qian Qian accompanied Fei Xue, and the two of them were talking and laughing. But when they saw Lu Jiaming, the smiles on their faces suddenly froze.
"Let's go, ignore him." Qian Qian whispered, holding her best friend in her arms and preparing to leave straight away, pretending not to be seen.
But Lu Jiaming obviously didn't intend to let it go, "Xiaoxue, you are so beautiful today, but your mood... is not beautiful."
An incomprehensible sentence, quite offensive.
Fisher had a bad temper and couldn't hold it back. He turned around and said, "Lu Jiaming, you saw that we are engaged. If you want to lose face, stop pestering me. You are so humble!"
"Xiaoxue, you are unhappy. I can see that you looked aggrieved at the engagement party. Can you still live in the future?"
Now, Chang Qian Qian couldn't hold back her anger.
"Is there something wrong with your brain? Which eye saw that Fisher's face was full of grievances? I was surprised, are you really sick?"
Lu Jiaming nodded and miraculously answered: "Probably... I just don't understand. What's the difference between me and Zhuo Yilin? Apart from family background, I can't think of anything else. But if Zhuo Yilin doesn't inherit the company, even if my uncle Zhuo Yilin's personal
It’s impossible for all the property to go into his pocket, right? After all, you still have your best friend, your biological daughter, to inherit it... In fact, after all calculations, I don’t think he is necessarily richer than my Lu family."
Fisher was about to reply when a voice came from the other side of the corridor: "So what if you are richer than me? Xiaoxue doesn't like you."
Several people turned around, and Zhuo Yilin walked quickly with a cold look on his face.
"Xiao Xue."
Fisher frowned slightly, worried that the two of them would fight again, so she quickly held his hand: "Don't be impulsive, he is just sick, just ignore him."
"Don't worry, today is our auspicious day, I won't do anything." Zhuo Yilin smiled, hugged his fiancée, and turned to look at Lu Jiaming, "If you come to ask for a wedding drink, I welcome you. But if you have ulterior motives, even if
Even if they are relatives, I will be merciless."
Lu Jiaming just refused to give in, but he knew very well that he couldn't beat Zhuo Yilin now.
Therefore, he could only endure it secretly and watch them leave together.
After a few people walked away, Qian Qian whispered: "It seems that I need to talk to my dad about this matter. Lu Jiaming doesn't look normal. Fei Fei has only been with him for a few days. You have to say that I love you so much that it's hard to let go."
It’s so hard to tell, how is it possible! But he’s so persistent and so blatant, I really don’t know what’s going on in his head.”
Fisher was equally troubled, "I don't understand either..."
