What do you want in life

Chapter 67 Don't Want to Lose Your Smile (18)
Xiaoyu gently took off her short hair, and said with a smile: "Don't talk to me, we are not in the same rank, don't lose and be a rascal!"

"Who is playing a rascal!" Guo Jia anxiously wanted to argue with him with a pale face, but was dragged by Xiaoyu with one hand, and went straight to a taxi on the side of the road.

Along the way, the two were laughing and chattering, until the car was about to drive into Xiaoying's neighborhood, Guo Jia's uneasiness rose again, and he tucked Ye Xiaoyu's sleeves guiltily, "Hey, I saw Xiaoying in a while, after all Should I say that?"

This is the first time she has been worried, Xiaoyu hugged her, "If you really feel embarrassed, just leave it to me, I will talk to my sister."

"That's good." Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked again: "By the way, what are you going to tell her?"

Xiaoyu started to get mad.

Already at the door of Xiaoying's house, Guo Jia shrank behind Xiaoyu and watched him ring the doorbell. Xiaoyu was really angry and funny at her timid behavior.

After waiting for a while, no one came to answer the door, Guo Jia muttered behind him: "I should have called in advance, maybe I have something to go out, but we are not too late, nine It's not even here yet."

As soon as the words fell, the door opened, and Li Zhen, dressed in homely attire, appeared in front of the two of them.

"Brother-in-law!"

Guo Jia also immediately flashed to the side with Xiaoyu, and greeted Li Zhen with a grin, "Hi, Li Zhen!"

Li Zhen didn't expect these two people to be standing outside the door. He was taken aback at first, but then hurriedly let the two of them in with a bewildered expression on his face.

Xiaoyu unloaded the bag on his back at the foot of the sofa, "Where's my sister? And Xiaozhi, shouldn't he go to kindergarten today?"

Li Zhen touched the back of his head subconsciously, and said awkwardly: "Oh, they are all here, but they are still sleeping! Sit down, and I will call them." After saying that, he entered the room.

Xiaoyu raised his wrist to look at his watch, and smiled softly at Guo Jia: "It's almost nine o'clock, and I'm still sleeping!"

Guo Jia squinted his eyes, leaned into his ear and whispered, "Did you notice that Li Zhen's expression was unnatural?"

"...It's okay!" Xiaoyu was not as sensitive as she was, so she thought about Li Zhen's reaction just now, and shrugged disapprovingly.

He looked around, the house was still as orderly as before, the clock was ticking on the wall, the water dispenser was on, the pot of unknown flowers and soil by the window was wet, obviously it had just been watered, and there was a pot of water on the dining table. A few clean and empty bowls, it seems that Li really intends to serve breakfast to eat.Xiaoyu's previous worries, at this time, were overwhelmed by the strong family atmosphere here, and it was obviously weakened a lot.

Li Zhen quickly returned to the living room, "They are all awake and getting dressed! Oh, you just arrived, the train is really early."

"That's right! I bought a ticket for the bus at [-] o'clock in the morning, and there are no seats at other times. It's not the peak tourist season recently!" Xiaoyu explained.

"Are you hungry? I have cooked porridge here, there is plenty." Li Zhen asked the two of them.

"No, we already had breakfast in the car." Guo Jia refused with a smile, "Don't be polite to us, it's too out of touch!"

Hearing this, Li Zhen glanced at her and Xiaoyu, probably thinking that they were sitting on the sofa a little too intimately.But he didn't say anything, and thoughtfully poured a glass of water for each of them, then picked up the bowl and walked towards the kitchen.

"Then I'm welcome."

For some reason, Guo Jia always felt that his expression was unnatural, and his smile seemed to be faked.

After getting dressed, Xiaozhi rushed out of the room first, and was stunned for a moment in front of the two of them, then suddenly called obediently: "Uncle, aunt."

When Xiaoyu saw him, he was immediately overjoyed, stretched out his hands to lift him up into the air, and turned around several times, which made Xiaozhi giggle happily, "Xiaozhi is so good, I still remember uncle, haha! Take you out to play!"

When he put Xiaozhi down, he felt a strangeness in the air, and after careful examination, it turned out that it was because Guo Jia, who slowly got up from the sofa, looked at the door of the room with a look of astonishment.

Xiaoyu followed her gaze, and with just one glance, he felt blood gushing into his brain!
"You guys, why did you suddenly think of coming here? You didn't even make a phone call." The well-dressed Xiaoying walked over with a smile, half of her face was red and swollen, especially the left eye, which used to be big and beautiful, but now it is probably because Pain, I have to squint, the two sides are extremely asymmetrical, and it is easy to scare people when I see it suddenly.

Guo Jia was tongue-tied, "Xiaoying, your face..."

Xiaoyu had already walked towards her, his face turned livid in an instant.

"Accidentally fell down..." Xiaoying avoided her younger brother's eyes, turned her left cheek a little, bent down to pick up Xiaozhi who ran to her feet, and changed the subject pretending to be inadvertent, "Xiaozhi, did you call?" Have you passed uncle?"

"I've called." Xiaozhi hugged his mother's neck with one hand, but looked at Xiaoyu, "Mom lied, mom didn't fall..."

"Xiaozhi!" Xiaoying shouted in panic.

Xiaoyu said to Xiaozhi with a pleasant face: "Xiaozhi is right, neither children nor adults should lie, tell uncle quickly, how could mother be like this?"

"It was Dad." Xiaozhi pouted and told Xiaoyu in a low voice.

The dry smile on Xiaoyu's face disappeared immediately, and he turned his head to look at the kitchen - Li Zhen came out with two bowls of porridge, he might have heard the conversation in the living room, maybe he hadn't, anyway, the expression on his face didn't change. A moment is natural.

"Xiaozhi, come and have breakfast!" Li Zhen's voice was as calm as ever.

Xiaoyu has rushed over like a gust of wind!

"Xiaoyu! Xiaoyu, what are you doing—" Xiaoying hurriedly put down Xiaozhi and rushed forward.

Li Zhen only felt a strong wind blowing towards his face, and then he was pushed to the edge of the wall. The porridge bowl in his hand lost his grip and fell down with a plop, spilling white porridge all over the floor.

Xiaoyu pushed Li Chen against the wall with all his strength. Li Zhen had done physical work for several years, and his hand strength was not weak. The two men were tearing and wrestling by the wall, but it was Li Zhen who was guilty and fell first psychologically. Somewhat momentum.

"Why did you beat her?" Xiaoyu gritted his teeth and asked angrily, "Even if there is something wrong with my sister, you can't treat her like this. Are you still a man?"

"Xiaoyu! Let him go!" Xiaoying pulled him hard behind her brother, trying to drag him away from Li Zhen, but her strength was too weak to shake Xiaoyu at all.

Xiaozhi didn't expect that two adults would fight because of his own truth. He glanced at his father who was pressed down, and then at his aggressive uncle, his little mind suddenly became chaotic, and he burst into tears .

Guo Jia hurriedly hugged him to her side, coaxing him carelessly while paying close attention to the situation by the wall.

Xiaoyu still reprimanded angrily, "How did you promise when you got married? Don't think we all forgot! Since you married her, you should treat her well!"

Xiaoying was so anxious that tears were about to come down, she stomped her feet and shouted, "Xiaoyu, stop messing around! This is a matter between us, you don't need to intervene! Let him go quickly, he is your brother-in-law, hear No!"

Li Zhen didn't say a word except for a weak resistance from the beginning to the end. Seeing that he still refused to accept the move, Xiaoyu also felt that he was a bit invincible. After a few seconds of stalemate, he finally let go of his hold Li Zhen's hands in his chest.

Li Zhen straightened up slowly, stretched out his hands to tuck the clothes that were about to be shoved into a ball, and the sleeves of the sleeves were still stained with a large area of ​​porridge. He had no expression on his face, and walked into the bathroom without looking at anyone. .

"You really need to change your cannon-barrel temper." Xiaoying pushed her younger brother violently without getting angry, "How old are you, you still jump when you say it!"

Xiaoyu muttered unconvinced, "Who told him to do it to you! No matter how much you have an opinion, you can't do it to a woman! I can't get used to this kind of person!"

Guo Jia walked over with Xiaozhi in his arms, Xiaozhi had stopped crying, his two black eyes looked from east to west, and glanced at every adult's face, but he still didn't understand what happened.

"Xiaozhi is good, go play with uncle!" Guo Jia handed Xiaozhi to Xiaoyu, gave him a wink, and then took Xiaoying's arm, "Hurry up and have breakfast, let's go for a walk together after eating." It is obviously inappropriate to talk about sensitive topics here.

Xiaoying shook her head, "I can't eat anything." She glanced at Guo Jia, "Why are you here this time?"

"I just came to see you." Guo Jia stammered, "Last time..." After speaking halfway, he immediately looked in the direction of the bathroom vigilantly, stopped his mouth in time, and lowered his voice and said, "I've been worried, Xiaoyu Too."

Xiaoying sighed, lowered her head and thought for a while, "Then wait for me." She turned and went to the bathroom.

Guo Jia walked up to Xiaoyu in a few steps, grinning his teeth and scolded in a low voice: "Are you here to make peace or to cause trouble? Please don't be so impulsive next time, okay! You will only make the two of them go further and further apart. Far!"

Once Xiaoyu's impulsive energy passed, he regretted it. He and Li Zhen were very polite before, and this brother-in-law has always treated him well. Now he was reprimanded by Guo Jia, and suddenly he was a little ashamed, "Okay, okay. , is it over!"

Not long after, Xiaoying came out of the bathroom and said to Guo Jia, "Let's go, let's find a place to sit."

Xiaoyu hugged Xiaozhi and got up to go with him, but Xiaoying stopped him, "Xiaozhi hasn't eaten breakfast yet, you stay at home with him—and, Han Xiaoyu, you must apologize to your brother-in-law!"

Xiaoyu looked aggrieved, but under her sister's stare, she could only close her lips tightly and sat back on the sofa in embarrassment.

Guo Jia accompanied Xiaoying out of the community, picked a sparsely populated street and walked aimlessly. Neither of them wanted to stay. Ten told Guo Jia.

After finishing speaking, she felt a lot more comfortable in her heart. Finally, someone could listen to her wantonly confide. At this moment, her once messy and even shaken desires sank to the bottom of the lake, and her heart was desolately peaceful.

"Last night, Li Zhen and I talked about it, and we still have to live as usual. After all, we have Xiaozhi, and he..." Xiaoying was silent for two seconds, "He also said that he treated me like this because I care too much, probably not in the future.”

She looked at the crossroads in front of her, and a few middle-aged junior high school students came crossing the street laughingly, and her thoughts inexplicably flew to the scene when Li Zhen confessed to her for the first time.

At that time, she had resisted the heat in his eyes, fearing that one day she would fail, but unfortunately, she suddenly got lost while walking, so that she became what she is today.

Therefore, in many cases, it is not because of ignorance that the road is bumpy, but because of forgetting.

Guo Jiaban was by her side, basically just playing the role of a listener, and she really didn't know what to say, none of these people was the real culprit, it was just good luck and bad luck, and they ordered the wrong pair of couples.

"Then what are you going to do?" Guo Jia asked her, "I mean, cough, to Shen Juncheng."

Hearing what she said just now, Guo Jia also understood that Xiaoying could not make the decision to divorce. Guo Jia knew how much she valued her family. In principle, Guo Jia also agreed with her choice, but Shen Juncheng and Guo Jia also agreed. Full of sympathy, she now finally believes that there are still infatuated men, but they are too rare, and if they do meet, it is hard to predict whether it will be a blessing or a curse.

"I don't know." Xiaoying lowered her head.

Having said that, she couldn't understand in her heart that she was destined to be ashamed of Shen Juncheng.Her guilt towards him may have been doomed since they first met.

The two bought some raw ingredients in a nearby supermarket before walking back slowly. It was almost noon, and Xiaoying's current state was not suitable for patronizing restaurants.

When I returned home, I saw Li Zhen and Xiaoyu sitting on both sides of the sofa, playing with Xiaozhi who lived in the middle. Although it was far from the point of chatting and laughing, the tension just now disappeared. It seemed that they had reconciled.

It was getting late, Xiaoying went to the kitchen to cook lunch, Guo Jia was going to help out together, but Xiaoyu took the lead, "Sister, I'll help you!"

He winked at Guo Jia, Guo Jia immediately understood what was going on, and obediently stepped back to accompany Xiaozhi. Li Zhen saw her staying in the living room, although he was a little awkward, but compared to being with Xiaoyu, the pressure was obviously not so great.

The two of them had nothing to say, and Guo Jia couldn't accuse him of anything, so he could only try his best to tease Xiaozhi and play all kinds of childish games he suggested with Xiaozhi wholeheartedly. The nervous child had a smile on his face again.

In the kitchen, Xiaoyu said he was helping, but in fact he just stood by and watched.

"Sister, you and him... really have nothing to do?"

"It's okay." Xiaoying calmed down, "There is no way a couple can live without quarreling."

Xiaoyu shrugged his shoulders and lowered his voice a little, "Did Brother Shen come to trouble you again?"

"No." Xiaoying was washing the dishes, and said to her younger brother earnestly: "You really don't care about my affairs, you can go back with Guo Jia after dinner, you are here, Li Zhen..."

She glanced at the kitchen door, and Xiaozhi's giggling came in occasionally, and she sighed, "It will only make you more uncomfortable."

"It's good that you're fine." Xiaoyu was also a little embarrassed, and at the same time, seeing his sister's calm state, he was also relieved, guessing that he was a little reckless just now, "I just apologized to my brother-in-law .”

Xiaoying smiled warmly at him. Although this younger brother has been troubled since he was a child, he really treats him too well.

"Then we'll leave after dinner, and take care of your own affairs." Xiaoyu cut the mess with a sharp knife.

"Don't worry, I'm almost thirty, and I know how to measure." Xiaoying also relaxed a lot, and glanced at him reproachfully, "It's you, when will you be able to settle down? Every time I talk to you Personal problems just run away."

"I've already solved it!" Xiaoyu didn't even blink, "The one sitting in the living room is my future wife!"

"Ah? Who is it?" Xiaoying was taken aback, unable to react at all.

"Guo Jia!"

With a sound of "clang", the small spatula in Xiaoying's hand was not pinched firmly and fell to the ground. She was speechless, "You, who were you talking about just now? Guo Jia?"

"Yes!" Xiaoyu didn't change his face, "Why are you so surprised?" He bent down and picked up the spatula for her.

"No, me, you, when did you start?" Xiaoying was really shocked, she had the illusion of watching a horror movie, and she never expected that these two people would get together.

"I can't remember the exact time, anyway, I have feelings everywhere."

"You, are you serious?" Xiaoying was still in shock, "Don't play tricks on Guo Jia!"

"What's wrong with me!" Xiaoyu sniffled, "I thought you were worried that I would suffer from my age! Dare you miss Guo Jia!"

"She's different from you!" Xiaoying said seriously.

"Okay, okay, I know, she is as righteous as you!" Xiaoyu said with a smile, his face suddenly tightened, showing a rare serious look, "I plan to marry her."

Xiaoying couldn't help but disbelieve the sincerity on Xiaoyu's cheek when she spoke, but she still couldn't recover from the shock, "Are you serious?"

"Of course." Xiaoyu stuffed his hands into his trouser pockets, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "I didn't want to get married so early. But you also know that Guo Jia is looking forward to getting married every day!"

He shrugged and said with a smile: "If I don't hold on tighter, maybe one day she will run away with someone when her mind gets hot."

Xiaoying had never been able to imagine what her younger brother's other half would be like before, but he did surprise herself in the end!It's hard to describe this feeling.

"You, cough, then after you and Guo Jia are together, you can't mess around anymore!" Xiaoying thought for a long time, and only said this.

Xiaoyu frowned and complained, "I haven't messed around for so many years! You make me sound like that!"

In the living room, Guo Jia and Xiaozhi were playing a game of guessing fists and scratching their noses. Xiaoying came over. The expression on her face made Guo Jia feel nervous. She subconsciously glanced behind her, but Xiaoyu didn't come out of the kitchen. .

Xiaoying sat down beside her, took her hand and put it in her palm, and said slowly, "Congratulations, Guo Jia!"

A sincere and warm smile slowly climbed up Xiaoying's face, until it obliterated her whole body, and Guo Jia's eyes were a little moist for no reason.

Without any suspense, Ke Lan was shortlisted as one of Shen's three winning suppliers. Shen took the opportunity of selecting suppliers to build momentum in City H. Ke Lan's name also frequently appeared in various media related to Shen's On the Internet, it is really a scene, and it is even more ostentatious than paying for advertisements by yourself.

The success of Shen's project has inspired the entire Kelan, and as the helm of this project, Fan Zhijun has attracted the attention of the whole company. Everyone thinks that he can take this opportunity to turn his cards around.

A stone in Fan Zhijun's heart finally landed safely, and no matter what happened in the future, he finally realized his wish to be proud.

On the morning of the next morning after the announcement of the news, Fan Zhijun called all the people in the department for a meeting. Seeing the relaxed expression on his face, everyone guessed that something good must happen. Sure enough, Fan Zhijun planned to have the people in the department get together in the evening , it is a celebration.

After everyone dispersed, Fan Zhijun left Xiaoying alone to speak.

"You are the first to get Shen Shi down this time, Xiaoying!" Fan Zhijun said to her sincerely.

Xiaoying was speechless for a while, she just wanted to smile wryly, she didn't care if she didn't listen to such a compliment, because Fan Zhijun didn't know how much wronged she had suffered behind it.

Fan Zhijun felt that there seemed to be something difficult to say in her stiff smile, but he was neither inconvenient nor interested in discussing privacy with her, and then said: "I have typed up the report on your transfer to the Finance Department early in the morning, I believe it will be soon." There will be an approval. Although I can't guarantee you, but in view of your contribution to the Shen project, I believe that the above will definitely give a satisfactory answer."

It wasn't until this time that Xiaoying smiled sincerely. This was indeed good news for her, and it also made her realize that Fan Zhijun was a good boss who kept his promises. She sincerely expressed her gratitude to him.

However, no one expected that just two days after the celebration, there would be a shocking wave in the company.

This afternoon, Xiaoying ran into Fan Zhijun who came out of Mr. Qiao's office in the corridor. .

Xiaoying had never seen him lose his composure like this before, she was startled and doubtful, secretly thinking that there must be some accident, she felt uneasy for a while, and she couldn't take the initiative to ask.I asked Wang Kai and Xiao Jiang in private, but they couldn't explain clearly.
