Second marriage itch

Chapter 223 Candlelight Dinner
"Xiaoyu, tell me clearly, what happened to your father's car accident back then? Was it caused by his father?"

The little aunt rushed to my side, pulled me off the chair, and pointed at Xue Duyun, with a look of righteous indignation and justice.

It has been a few months since Xue Borong was imprisoned, and Xue Duyun and I are in tacit understanding with each other, slowly sealing the painful past to dust.But my sister-in-law broke in suddenly and mercilessly uncovered our scars.

Xue Duyun put down the guitar in his hand, and stood up slowly. The joy of playing and singing before was no longer there, and now he just stared at the sister-in-law with a cold face.

I shook off my sister-in-law's hand.

"Sister-in-law, since you can ask this question, it means that you already know the ins and outs of the matter, including the final processing results, so there is no point in bringing up the old matter again. This matter has passed."

Sister-in-law didn't come alone, and my cousin followed.

"Xiaoyu, my mother and uncle are brothers and sisters. Can you not be in a hurry when you hear that he died? Can you live with it in your heart? How can you live with a son who killed his father and enemy?"

When the cousin said this, the sister-in-law stomped her feet and burst into tears.

"My poor brother and sister-in-law died unjustly. Those who kill thousands of knives kill people and lose their conscience!"

My little aunt cried so much that she beat her chest and stamped her feet, but every word pierced my heart like the tip of a needle.

I think, these words also pierced into Xue Duyun's heart.

"Enough!" I said loudly.

The sister-in-law suddenly stopped crying, and wiped away the few tears that were finally squeezed out, looking like the victim's family members were heartbroken.

"Sister-in-law, when my father had an accident, I didn't see you in such a hurry. Who are you in a hurry to show now?"

In the past, I was always a submissive person in everyone's mind. My sister probably didn't expect me to be so direct.

After being stunned for a few seconds, the sister-in-law continued to cry about her brother and sister's deep love.

"Xiaoyu, how can you talk like that? Your father and I were born in the same mother's womb, so of course we have feelings. It's just that we didn't know the cause of his death back then. Now that we know, can you feel better? You Still living with a son who killed his father and his enemies, Xiao Yu, your father will die with regret."

They killed the sons of their father and enemy one by one, trying to push Xue Duyun and me into an embarrassing situation again.

"How much do you want?" Xue Duyun said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, my sister-in-law's crying stopped suddenly, and there were slight changes in her and cousin's faces.

Obviously, Xue Duyun had pinpointed their thoughts.

But my sister-in-law is a smart person. Even though the words are on his lips, he will not ask for money directly, but pretends to be high-spirited and said, "What money is not money? Do you think you can buy us with money? That's true." My brother's life."

"One hundred thousand, is that enough?"

Xue Duyun ignored her and directly offered the price in his heart.

A gleam of joy flashed across my sister's face, but she quickly covered it up again.
"Your father killed my brother back then, and now you are still married to Xiaoyu, who gave birth to a child for you."

The sister-in-law looked at me aggressively.

"Xiaoyu, you know that you are developed and rich now, but you must not forget your roots as a human being. You must not forget how your father died."

"20!" Xue Duyun said flatly.

The aunt's pupils dilated, swallowed hard, and exchanged glances with her cousin.

20 is not a small sum for them.

In fact, how could I fail to guess the purpose of their trouble, thinking of their indifference at the beginning, and looking at the shameless behavior in front of me, I really don't want to give a dime.

"The 20 is for the sake of your seniority, which is Xiaoyu. If you continue to push forward, I guarantee that you will not get a penny."

Of course my sister-in-law won't make a fuss anymore, but she just made a fuss too hard, and now she wants to make a sharp turn, and she can't hold back.

So she took up her status as an elder and began to justify herself with sincerity.

"You can't blame my sister-in-law for being too excited. Who can swallow this matter? Hey, but now that your children are so old, what else can I say as a generation? I can't hurt the child. I just hope you can treat Xiaoyu better, she is a poor child, she has suffered enough since she was a child, so don't hurt her any more. "

I couldn't bear to listen to this hypocrisy, so I immediately wrote a check for 20 yuan to them.

"Sister-in-law, there is no family relationship between us. The 20 has bought out the little blood relationship between us. If you make trouble next time, I won't take any affection for you."

Seeing that I was terrific, when my sister-in-law reached out to get the check, she wanted to be hypocritical.I immediately withdrew my hand, and my sister-in-law was afraid that the check in my hand would fly, so she quickly took the check and left with my cousin.

The original good mood was destroyed like this, it is really depressing.

Xue Duyun didn't seem to be affected, and sat down again, picked up the guitar, and sang to the children.

The sun was overcast, and the temperature suddenly dropped a little. I went upstairs to get the two children to get their coats. Thinking that Xue Duyun was also very thinly dressed, I went to get a suit of his.

Feeling that there seemed to be something in his pocket, I couldn't help being curious, so I turned the things in the pocket out.

This is a jewelry box, and there is a diamond ring inside.

What was he trying to do by secretly buying a diamond ring?
Not birthdays, not Valentine's Day, not anniversaries, not any gift-giving day.

I calmly put the ring back into the pocket of my clothes and took off the clothes.

He took the suit and put it on, but didn't mention the ring.

After the two children played for a while, the nanny took them in for a nap.

Thinking of my sister's words before, I felt very depressed, and I was guessing about the ring again, and I was a little absent-minded for a while.

Xue Duyun suddenly started playing and singing.

"The girl on the other side looks over, looks over, looks over..."

His voice was cheerful and I knew he was trying to make me happy.

After singing a few lines, the tune suddenly slowed down, and he looked at me more tenderly.

"I want to take you to fly everywhere, travel all over the world to see, no worries, no sorrow, free and happy, forget the pain and forget the place, we set off to wander together, although we don't have beautiful clothes, but our hearts are full looking forward to..."

"Zhang San's Song" has very simple lyrics, but it sings a kind of expectation and emotion.

After singing, he lightly plucked the strings with his fingers, stared deeply at me and said, "Honey, I've been thinking about one thing."

His passionate gaze attracted me like a magnet.

"what?"

"I owe you a wedding!"

So that ring of his was for the wedding?
But in the end he didn't take out the ring, maybe he was waiting for a better opportunity, or maybe he was making some preparations.

One afternoon a few days later, the assistant came to my office and said that there was a dispute between two female clients, one of whom was very aggressive and insisted on complaining to me.

I came to the store from the headquarters under the guidance of my assistant, only to find out that the female customer who wanted to complain to me was Bei Nan.

Now that she is backed by a rich second-generation husband, she is indeed different from before, and the word "luxury" is written in her clothes from head to toe.

Seeing me appear, she raised her hands with a provocative smile on her face.

"Mr. Shen, it turns out that your Yuzhuang is so popular, you have to wait in line to make an appointment for nursing?"

I looked at the store manager, and she showed me a helpless expression.

I looked at Nanbei lightly and said, "Of course we need to make an appointment. This is mainly to save time for customers. There is a first-come-first-served basis for everything. If you don't make an appointment and line up, wouldn't it be messed up?"

Nan Bei was quite disdainful of my explanation, and slowly took out a card with two fingers, posing like a rich lady.

"I just applied for the annual diamond membership card with you today, because I haven't experienced the service of your Yuzhuang, so I want to experience it now, do I have to make an appointment?"

At this time, the store manager couldn't help but stepped forward and explained to me.

"Mr. Shen, it's like this. The other beauticians were working just now. Miss Nan saw that there was a senior beautician with a resting sign on it, so she wanted that beautician to come and treat her. But Ms. Weng came on The beautician was waiting for Ms. Weng at this time after a week. Ms. Weng just came, but Ms. Nan insisted on asking the beautician to do it for her first."

Speaking of Ms. Weng, I looked at the woman in her forties who was sitting on the sofa.

She was also a party to this matter, but from the beginning to the end, she sat silently and flipped through the magazine.

I glanced lightly at Beinan, walked towards Ms. Weng, and stretched out my hand politely.

"Hello, Ms. Weng."

Ms. Weng put down the magazine, stood up and shook my hand, smiling gracefully.

"Mr. Shen, hello."

I smiled and said, "Ms. Weng, I don't know how he feels about the men's traditional Chinese medicine mask that I gave to Mayor Jiang last time?"

Ms. Weng laughed, "He feels very good about himself. He boasted that he has become several years younger after using it. I saw that his skin has indeed improved a lot. He asked me to thank you, saying that you are young and promising. , but also thoughtful and thoughtful."

I turned around, glanced at Nanbei's blushing expression in embarrassment, and said to the store manager, "Bring me the appointment record."

She took it quickly, I glanced at it, and then raised my wrist to look at my watch.

"Ms. Weng's appointment time is two o'clock, and it is now two and fifty. We have delayed Ms. Weng's time by nearly an hour. Ms. Weng, I am really sorry. In this way, we will give you three free appointments for today. Come over at any time when you have an appointment. Now, Ms. Weng, if there is still time, I will arrange for you to do it right away."

Ms. Weng was very satisfied with the result, and said with a smile, "It's no wonder Yuzhuang can develop so fast, Mr. Shen is very good at being a man."

The store manager immediately arranged for a beautician to serve Ms. Weng.

I walked in front of Nan Bei, who was so proud just now, she knew that she had caused trouble, her face was very pale.

I said lightly, "Miss Nan, thank you for trusting Yu Zhuang and willing to choose Yu Zhuang's services. As a friendly reminder, it is best to make an appointment three days in advance to avoid delaying each other's time. And..."

I took a step forward, and said in a low voice beside her, "There are a lot of rich and powerful people who come to Yu Zhuang to spend. It's not good for you to spend your husband's money to help your husband hate you."

Nanbei's face turned red and then pale, but she knew she was wrong today, so she didn't say anything in the end.

Back at the headquarters, it was already 03:30.

As soon as I entered the office, I saw a large bunch of blue enchantresses on the table.

The relationship between me and Xue Duyun has not been made public. Many people don’t know about our relationship. Many people think that I am single, so I often receive flowers from men.

Pick up the bouquet and pull out the beautiful card inside.

It read, "Honey, I want to have a candlelight dinner with you, can I please?"

Later he left the address of the hotel.

The unhappiness caused by the north-south quarrel before dissipated quickly. I took out the violets that had been inserted on the table and inserted this bunch of blue enchantresses into it.

I lowered my head and sniffed, the faint fragrance of flowers seems to be able to penetrate into people's hearts.

When it was almost time to get off work, I took out my makeup bag and touched up my makeup in the mirror.

It seems that this is the first time I have been invited so formally by him, as if I vaguely know what he is going to do, I am a little nervous, but I am also looking forward to it.

After get off work, I drove straight to the hotel and was led by the waiter to the room he reserved.

The floor of the room is covered with rose petals, tall candles are lit on the long dining table, red wine and champagne are placed, and very romantic and soothing music is played on the stereo.

But Xue Duyun hasn't come yet.

Am I too impatient to arrive earlier than him?Should I leave first and come in when he comes?
Hey, forget it, what is the entanglement, between husband and wife, I wait for him, he waits for me, it's the same.

After thinking about it, I pulled the chair in front of the dining table and sat down.

The light from the candle shone on my face and my eyes, far away, but I felt as if it was roasting me, making my blood flow faster.

Is he going to propose to me?He said that day that he owed me a wedding.

I was like a little girl on her way to a date with a lover, feeling uneasy and nervous.

The first time I looked at my watch, it was 45:[-], and he said it was [-]:[-].

I think he should be here soon.

I was probably too nervous, and I was a little restless. I saw a few candles placed a little crookedly, so I got up and moved them slightly.

It's seven o'clock and he hasn't come yet.

Five minutes later, ten minutes later, in my growing anxiety, I had been waiting for half an hour, and he still hadn't come.
