Chapter 53 Is six years a long time?
"A person in his late thirties can't speak properly and feels sorry for his sister-in-law."
Huo Jingting fired back. He walked to the door of Huo Jingchen's room and said, "Come here and open the door."
"Am I your servant?" Huo Jingchen said that she was too honest, but she still took out the key and opened the door. "I don't need you to feel sorry for her. Brother, you should feel more sorry for yourself."
"A thirty-two-year-old unmarried gay man who has been eliminated from the blind date market."
Only a true brother knows where to stab a knife to hurt the most.
Huo Jingting looked indifferent, and these words did not cause any attack on him.
"Why did you suddenly agree to let Jinying go to Zhuifeng Island?" Huo Jingting came in and sat down, her posture relaxed, and her tone of question was much more easy-going than when she was outside.
Huo Jingchen raised her hands to unbutton her coat, took off her coat and hung it on the hanger.
"My legs are on her, does it matter whether I agree or not?"
"The lawyer she inquired about the contract with was my high school classmate."
Huo Jingchen: "..."
"My parents also know?"
Huo Jingting's eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Instead, she teased her younger brother playfully, "When you handed the matter over to Jinying, you should have guessed that your parents would also know."
"My parents asked you to find an opportunity to take the person back and have a look." Huo Jingting looked at the empty cup on the coffee table in the middle of her words, "They also said that."
"The kettle is next to you." Huo Jingchen instantly understood what her elder brother meant.
"A little tired."
"Then go back and rest."
Neither brother gave in to the other. In the end, Huo Jingchen was defeated and walked over to pour the water, "Drink after you finish speaking, otherwise I'm afraid you will choke easily."
"Thank you for your concern." Huo Jingting's thank you was more like a provocation.
Every next move consumed Huo Jingchen's patience. After waiting for someone to drink two glasses of water, he didn't mention the key points, and his patience disappeared.
Suddenly, Huo Jingting said something without any explanation, "Yes, patience brings progress, six years have not been in vain."
After saying that, Huo Jingting stood up and prepared to leave.
"I also told you to have children as soon as possible."
Huo Jingchen's eyes flashed with disappointment, "I know."
Little did they know that the next step was the key point.
Huo Jingting raised his eyes, his eyes full of sharpness.
This was the first time that he used his elder brother's airs to teach his younger brother a lesson.
"As a family, there should be a limit to your temper that has been going on for so long. How many times has your father surrendered to you in the past six years? You know in your heart that he is your father, not your grandson. Yet he still coaxes you to beg despite his age. Forgive.”
After going around in circles for so long, I finally got to the point.
"Next year at the latest, he will find an opportunity to transfer you back. You will come back together as a family, and your private marriage will be over."
Recalling the past, Huo Jingchen's eyes were hurt. When he heard the first sentence, Huo Jingchen was still a little moved in his heart. In the end, his feeling was gone.
"Brother, do you think six years is a long time?"
Huo Jingchen asked back, his dark and cold eyes filled with dryness.
"You and the second sister can both take the path you want to take, but I can't. People outside say that dad loves me the most. The reason is simply that he wants to pin the regrets of being a soldier on one person and let me complete it. His mission.”
"I don't object to being a soldier. What I always object to is that I don't have the right to choose. On this road, no matter what I like or don't like, he will not give me a chance to choose."
"He lived such an unhappy life for six years, and no one thought that I would live for more than 20 years."
Huo Jingting frowned, the anger in his eyes dissipated and turned into self-blame.
"I care too little about these things."
Huo Jingchen was lying on the bed, resting her hands on her head, and said in a calm tone, "It's pointless to talk about the past. We'll talk about the future later. When Zhuifeng Island is stable, I will find an opportunity to transfer back."
Seeing that Huo Jingchen wanted to end the topic, Huo Jingting wisely stopped mentioning it.
"Then I'll go back first." Huo Jingting stood up and left. When he reached the door, he paused and said, "Are you free tomorrow night? It's been a long time since we had a meal together."
"Let me take a look." "Waiting downstairs at five o'clock in the evening."
After saying that, the door closed and the room fell into silence.
Huo Jingchen stared at the ceiling and exhaled a thick breath.
Huo Jingting went out and bumped into Sanqi who was coming downstairs. He said in a surprised tone, "Comrade Huo?"
"Secretary Sang, long time no see. Are you here to attend the conference? I heard that you were transferred to Suzhou."
Sanchi shook his head and denied, "I'm not. I have other things to deal with here. Is the teacher in good health? Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for three years. It's not easy for us to meet each other. If you are free, let's eat together. A meal? ”
"Everything is fine with her. It was my mother who told me that you were transferred to Suzhou."
Sanqi was moved when he mentioned his mentor. The secretary behind him whispered, "Secretary, time may be a bit tight."
He was so happy that he forgot about serious matters.
"I still have something to deal with. Which floor is your room on? I'll find you when I come back."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"I live in 302 and I am free except tomorrow night."
Sanqi agreed and went downstairs to leave after saying hello. Huo Jingting returned to the room.
-
Suzhou.
After two days of hard work, Xia Yaoyao and Li Yinshuang returned home.
Xia Jinkuo was reading the newspaper when he heard the conversation between the two. He took off his glasses and looked, and found that both of them looked shriveled and haggard.
"What's going on?"
Li Yinshuang was so angry that she had nothing to say, so she took out the agreement from her bag and threw it to him.
"See for yourself, the white-eyed wolf we raised with our own hands."
After saying that, Li Yinshuang returned to the room angrily.
Xia Yaoyao put her things away first, and when she came out, Xia Jinkuo had a dark face and the agreement had been thrown to the ground.
"Yao Yao, why do you need to go? Isn't this humiliating yourself?"
Facing her father's questioning, Xia Yaoyao felt very uncomfortable. Her original intention was for the good of the Xia family.
It seems that now she is looking for trouble. Fortunately, her mother knows her hard work, but neither her father nor her brother know.
Xia Yaoyao bit her lower lip and recounted her trip to Zhui Feng Island with embarrassment.
After hearing everything, Xia Jinkuo frowned. After a long time, he said, "The last name is Huo. Why does this name sound familiar to me?"
Xia Jinkuo couldn't remember where he heard it, but he just felt like he knew it.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if we sign this agreement, our family will have nothing to do with her from now on, just think that she was doing good deeds before."
Xia Jinkuo sighed, put on his glasses again, and unfolded the newspaper.
Xia Jinkuo's words attracted Xia Yaoyao's attention.
Xia Mi definitely doesn't know the purpose of the contract, so there is only one possibility. This contract was proposed by Huo Jingchen or the Huo family.
Then the Huo family is definitely not from the countryside, but from the city.
Xia Yaoyao was so confused that she walked over and picked up the agreement on the ground and put it away.
In her next life, she would not let her path be as difficult as in her previous life.
"Dad, when we first came back, I saw someone selling bean sprouts at the door. The business was not..."
"Shut up, Yaoyao, you are not allowed to say such words again. No one knows the direction of the situation now and in the future. You'd better keep those three words rotten in your stomach."
Xia Jinkuo almost reflexively stopped Xia Yaoyao.
She frowned, wanting to tell Xia Jinkuo that she knew the situation and it would only get better in the future!
It's a pity that she can't. Now these three words are taboo in the Xia family. They can't mention their previous life, let alone business.
At this time, Xia Jinkuo couldn't even read the newspaper, put it on the table boredly, got up and went back to the room.
Xia Yaoyao had complicated emotions in her eyes.
