Chapter 138 What is she planning?


Chapter 138 What is she planning?

The car stopped at the door of the old house. Although there was still light snow in the sky, the snow on the bluestone road had already been swept to both sides.

The person cleaning the door looked at the familiar license plate and asked with a smile: "Yu Bai, why are you so early today? Come back to have breakfast with the old man."

In the past, you had good etiquette. Today, the people walked in a hurry, and the tall figure quickly disappeared behind the door.

As soon as he entered the house, the snowflakes that fell on his shoulders and hair instantly melted into water. His already solemn face was stained with a damp and cold air, and his usually calm figure now looked a little embarrassed.

The sound of clinking dishes came from the restaurant, accompanied by the old man's cough from time to time. It was an ordinary day.

Luo Ziyu came out when he heard the noise, a little surprised, but when he saw his face clearly, the smile on the corner of his mouth faded instantly, and he quickly took a towel and wiped his cheeks, shoulders, and belt. Looking hurriedly behind him with questioning eyes Song Chengliang came over and asked, "Where did this come from? Why is his face so bad?"

Song Chengliang shook his head slightly. After getting the document, he sent it to Zhou Yubai without stopping. What happened? He didn't know what.

Zhou Yubai blocked Luo Ziyu's hand and slowly brushed it away, "Mom, I will do it myself."

In the restaurant, an old man called lovingly: "It's Yu Bai, after breakfast. No?”

Luo Ziyu saw the document bag in his hand and felt something was wrong. She pulled Zhou Yubai's eyes downcast and said, "What happened? Is it the group or..."

Zhou Yubai's footsteps were blocked by He stumbled, turned slightly sideways, half of his face was hidden in the dark, without a trace of ripples, only his eyes were full of darkness, as if he was suffering from huge pain every minute.

Luo Ziyu was startled by his expression and couldn't help but let go of his hand. After a few seconds, he recovered and followed him back to the restaurant.

The two old men are both older. There are a few light side dishes on the table, accompanied by white porridge.

Aunt Li filled the bowl for Zhou Yubai as usual and placed it next to Zhou Junzhi.

Since the last quarrel, the grandfather and grandson have never had a good meal together like this. The main reason is that the old man is angry and doesn't want to see him.

Wu Yingxiu intended to ease the relationship between her grandfather and grandson and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that we are here together with your parents. Is this an agreement?"

Zhou Yubai did not answer. , leaned over slightly and sat down on the chair. As he got closer, the old lady saw his face clearly. He nudged his old man, gave Zhou Jun a complaining look, and said distressedly: "No matter how busy you are at work, you have to take a break. Look at your face, it's worse than your grandfather."

In the past, no matter what happened, Zhou Yubai would have at least replied with a good reply or understood.

But today, he seemed to be in trance, sitting on the chair, neither speaking nor moving his chopsticks.

Zhou Junzhi then slightly shifted his gaze to Zhou Yubai following Wu Yingxiu's words. With such a glance, looking at his haggard appearance, his anger disappeared.

"You still have to balance work and rest, don't break down your body, you..."

"Grandpa." Zhou Yubai suddenly interrupted Zhou Junzhi's words.

His hand holding the document bag couldn't help but tighten, and the rustling sound was a bit abrupt in the quiet room.

But the tighter the fist in his hand was clenched, the more indifferent the expression on Zhou Yubai's face became, as if he was trapped in the beautiful memories of the past, and he said slowly and clearly word by word: " She met me when she was a junior in college. She was obviously not a sexual person, but she chased me for three months.”

"Others just said a slanderous word, but she was a small person. Without saying a word, she rushed up to fight with that boy. She got into the fight, and her face was stained. It was spring weather, so she slept on a chair." said. When he talks about her, Zhou Yubai always has a slight smile on his face.

Those memories have long become traces of their love, engraved in the bone marrow. Even if they don’t think deeply and organize language, they can easily tell one thing after another.

A bitter smile escaped from Zhou Yubai's throat, and he added: "You are such a smart girl, but I jokingly said that my family was poor, and she just followed me like a fool and took all my food, housing and transportation. I bought the best things I wanted and prepared them for me. What else could I say about opening a store for me in the future so that I could be the boss of the week with peace of mind. I thought to myself at that time, how on earth did this girl pass the exam? How could she not be wary of people from Beijing University? She might have paid for someone to be sold to her. "Later, she found out who I was and said that she couldn't get enough of me and wanted to leave. Everyone had already returned to Yi. I tried so hard to lure her back to Beijing, begging her to stay, begging her to stay with me."

It was all his fault, he thought he was. Someone who can protect her.

Zhou Yubai took a deep breath, calmed down his already chaotic breathing, and asked innocently: "I couldn't even give her a title at that time. You said that she didn't do it even if she was a carefree rich second generation? With those infamy, what is she doing? "

At the end of the sentence, tears fell from Zhou Yubai's eyes. After he was ten years old, he had never allowed his emotions to get out of control in front of his family so unscrupulously.

He complained incomprehensively and sadly: "If you don't like her, just say it. Why would you let her go in front of me and make things difficult for her in secret?"

"Yu Bai... " Luo Ziyu couldn't bear to hear any more, but he didn't know where to start. They were indeed wrong about what happened back then.

Zhou Yubai slowly moved his gaze upwards, scanning the faces of his loved ones one by one, and the pain in his heart deepened.

He could only ask with a wry smile: "Dad, do you know?"

Zhou Mingyi looked at him and did not answer.

He asked again: "Grandma, where are you?"

Wu Yingxiu only learned about it from the old man on the night he broke off the engagement.

From the moment she found out, she knew that there would be such a scene sooner or later.

Whether to know sooner or later is meaningless.

Zhou Yubai sneered, turning from sarcasm to helpless self-sarcasm: "Look, all of you know it, but I don't know it, and I, the person closest to her, don't know it! "

"She is very high-spirited. You can be sure that she will not make trouble with me. She can't do anything to use her feelings to make trouble with me and let me go home and ask for a wife. It’s a matter of status.”

“Grandpa, there’s no need for her to be so calculating. You have to destroy her pride.”

Everyone saw it that year. In his eyes, looking at Zhou Yubai's feelings for Sang Nanxi, if Sang Nanxi reveals even the slightest clue, it is not impossible for him to turn his family upside down for her.

"What can she do? In order to be with me, she suffered a lot of scolding from her father, and she was afraid of hurting her friends. She didn't even have anyone to confide in, so she could only leave, and go far away. Far away, it makes me hate her ruthlessness.”

He thought of her figure leaving alone in the early morning, heading for that unknown city alone in the heavy snow.

Zhou Yubai seemed to have suddenly woken up, muttering to himself: "No wonder I can't find anything..."

...

Zhou Junzhi clenched his fists, While his chest was rising and falling, he uttered a heavy sentence: "Are you here today to vindicate her for what happened back then?"

Zhou Yubai suddenly laughed and did not answer Zhou Junzhi's words. He just said: "Don't you always hope that I will get married and have a child."

His voice suddenly dropped, like the waves that suddenly retreated into the deep sea. A huge storm is brewing.

Zhou Yubai slapped the document bag on the table and sighed, "If... nothing like that happened, the child would have been five years old."
