marriage [big family]

Returning to the apartment where she lived alone, she took a shower in the bathroom, Yao Jinxi opened the curtain of the large glass window in front of her, leaned against the window habitually with a coffee cup in one hand and watched the brightly lit night scene outside for a while, and finally shook her head, Sweeping away those inexplicably hurtful emotions in my mind, I walked back to the table.

Turn on the computer, click on his private mailbox, there is only one unread letter, and the sender is his grandfather.

Open it casually, Grandpa's email is very short, and he is only asked to go back to England next week for a family reunion.

Yao Jinxi hesitated for a while, remembering that in the afternoon Linda seemed to remind him that he would go back to the headquarters for a meeting next week, the time was just right, so he could go home by the way, so he replied the email and agreed.

I closed the mailbox, browsed the webpage for a while, felt nothing interesting, and was planning to go to bed early, but the screen of the mobile phone on the table turned on, it was a text message, from an unfamiliar number.

"I don't want to see me, let's just exchange text messages like this, how about making friends?" followed by an exaggerated smiley face.

Yao Jinxi frowned slightly. Although the content of the text message was nothing, the tone of the message seemed a little ambiguous. Of course, he almost immediately realized who it was from. He didn't want to talk to him at first, but after three seconds, he still picked up the phone. Turning back: "Lu Ming?"

The other party returned a smiling face and came back.

"Where did you get my phone number?"

Yao Jinxi has two mobile phones, which are separate for public and private use. Not many people know his private mobile number.

"Ask Qi Rui what you want." The text message over there quickly came back.

Looking at the dazzling name on the screen, Yao Jinxi completely lost interest and turned off the phone directly.

-

Half an hour after he got out of the shower, Lu Ming glanced at his phone, and sure enough, when Qi Rui was mentioned, the text messages he sent were completely lost. Thinking that Yao Jinxi might scold himself in his heart when he saw those two words, Lu Ming felt a little funny again, his behavior seemed to be molesting him no matter how he looked at it.

Molesting that vile and indifferent iceberg?Lu Ming subconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth. In order to get the agency right, his skin became thicker and thicker.

Then he thought of Qi Rui. Just now he called Qi Rui to ask Yao Jinxi's private mobile phone number. He seemed surprised that Lu Ming hadn't contacted him since he got married, so he asked him a few words by the way. After their honeymoon and Qin Sitong went back to City Z, Lu Ming didn't feel much. Just as he was about to hang up the phone, the person on the other end suddenly stopped him and asked him how he was doing recently. His tone was very hesitant, with Care carefully.

For so many years before, Qi Rui had been refusing to accept him, yet he hung him with such an ambiguous attitude, which made him unable to make up his mind to give up completely. Now that everyone else is married, and he punched him at the wedding, he still came back. This trick made Lu Ming laugh angrily, so he asked him "Am I okay?" and hung up the phone directly, and then deleted his phone number just like Yao Jinxi did before.

The next afternoon, as soon as Lu Ming came out of the company building, he saw his good brother's stylish sports car parked at the gate. The beautiful OLs wink and discharge.

Lu Ming really wanted to pretend he didn't know him and walk away, but Lu Mingyuan, who was sharp-eyed and quick-handed, saw him and rushed up to stop him.

"What's the matter?" Lu Ming raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

Generally speaking, Lu Mingyuan would rarely come to him on his own initiative if he hadn't asked for something or ordered by his grandma.

Lu Mingyuan smiled: "Grandma said that she wants you to go back now, and repeatedly told me to take you back, or deduct my pocket money."

"..." Lu Mingxin said that you are 25 years old and you are idle all day long. It's really funny to ask grandma for pocket money, but I also know that grandma won't let go if I don't go back today, so I got into Lu Mingyuan's car and followed him back home I went to a villa in the suburbs.

As expected by Lu Ming, Grandma Lu dragged him and chattered endlessly that he shouldn't have left so many guests last night and ran away first. After Lu Ming repeatedly promised that there would be no next time, she reluctantly let him go. The topic turned to her old man's main concern: "So many people came last night? Didn't you see anyone right?"

Lu Ming was very helpless: "Grandma, you have to look right, there is no such thing as easy."

"I think those girls are very beautiful and generous, they are all famous daughters, well-behaved and polite..."

"Grandma," Lu Ming interrupted her boldly: "I've said it many times, I like men, and I can't change it."

"Okay, okay, you like men, right?" Grandma Lu said slowly, "So there were so many men here last night, and there wasn't a single one you liked?"

"cough--"

Lu Ming didn't react, but Lu Mingyuan, who was eating, was almost choked to death by his own saliva when he heard this. After recovering, he asked Grandma Lu in surprise, "Grandma picked a man and grandma also agreed?"

Grandma Lu was annoyed: "Before, he kept saying that he liked that guy named Qi, and I never objected, so why would he object now? And the men I invited last night were all good men with successful careers, none of them are better than The person your brother liked before was not good enough, and if he could really succeed, there is nothing wrong with having someone to accompany your brother in the future."

"That's what I like, my brother has a high vision."

"I didn't see how special it was before. It's not that I haven't seen the photos, so I just look prettier. It's better to find a girl like that."

"But brother can't do anything with girls, even if grandma wants to force it, she can't do it."

Lu Ming, who was the center of the topic but kept being ignored by the two of them, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and interrupted: "Don't talk more and more strangely, it's just a meeting, how can it be said that it's a success."

Grandma Lu asked him: "I heard that you went back to the city last night and brought Xiao Hui back with his cousin? Since you don't like girls, I didn't see you look at Xiao Hui more last night. Fucked her cousin?"

Lu Ming already wanted to roll his eyes.

Lu Mingyuan asked curiously: "Which one is Xiaohui? And who is Xiaohui's cousin?"

"Xiaohui is your uncle's granddaughter. Her cousin's surname is Yao. The name she mentioned last night was Yao... What is it about Yao..."

"Yao Jinxi."

Three words came out of Lu Ming's mouth, and Lu Mingyuan choked again, staring at him with wide eyes in surprise: "Brother, have you taken a fancy to that President Yao?!"

"...how is it possible." In order to prevent grandma from exaggerating more and more, Lu Ming hurriedly explained: "His car broke down, so he still parked here. business."

Lu Mingyuan didn't seem to believe this very much, and looked at him suspiciously. Lu Ming drank his tea calmly. After a while, Lu Mingyuan smiled and turned to Grandma Lu, who seemed to feel regretful: "Grandma, that President Yao and brother are not friends." It's shallow, and President Yao is a perfect match with my brother no matter in terms of family background, work or appearance, so it's not surprising that I really like him, the key is that he likes the same man as my brother."

Grandma Lu became interested after hearing his explanation: "Really? What does he do? Where is he from? How old is he?"

"The president of the Asia-Pacific region of LK Yachting, a British aristocrat, mixed blood, and the same age as my brother, I think even if my brother has taken a fancy to him, he may not have taken a fancy to him." Lu Mingyuan changed back to Lu Ming's as soon as he said the words. A blank stare.

"British nobleman?" Grandma Lu suddenly froze the smile on her face when she heard it, and her expression seemed to be in a daze.

But Lu Mingyuan didn't realize it, and was still chattering: "Isn't it, he came from the Kurt family, the Duke of Brandon is his grandfather, and he himself has the title of Viscount. I think if I really want to be with him, I have to marry him Their family, but that kind of aristocratic family, might not necessarily accept that their descendants are with men, President Yao is actually quite pitiful..."

Seeing that his grandma was completely stunned, Lu Ming didn't care about Lu Mingyuan's nonsense, so he patted her hand in surprise: "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"

After recovering from her gaffe, Grandma Lu shook her head and fell silent. After a while, when Lu Mingyuan also sensed something wrong with grandma and stopped talking, she opened her mouth again and asked Lu Ming: "Are you with him?" How did you meet? He is a British nobleman, why did he come here? Who else is there in his family?"

Lu Ming didn't know why grandma cared about these things, so he told the truth: "We met when we were studying in England, and we occasionally have contacts in the business field in the past few years. He came here to work, and I guess he will Transfer back to the headquarters in the UK. In his family, his grandma and mother are both Asian. I heard that his parents are gone. Grandma passed away three years ago. The closest relative is only one grandpa, but the entire Kurt family is sure There are still many other relatives."

The reason why Lu Ming knew so clearly about Yao Jinxi was, of course, because he was a rival in love before, so he needed to know himself and his enemy. Moreover, when Yao Jinxi's grandmother passed away three years ago, Qi Rui followed him to England because of this, saying that he wanted to comfort him, so Lu Ming was deeply impressed by this.

"His grandma...has passed away?"

"That's right."

After that meal, Grandma Lu didn't speak again. She didn't say anything. The other two saw that she was in a bad mood, so they didn't say much. Shut himself in the room.

From the locked drawer of the bedside table, she took out the photo at the bottom, and caressing the yellowed black and white photo, Grandma Lu's eyes turned slightly red.

In the photo is her, smiling like a flower, her face full of happiness and sweetness that cannot be concealed, leaning in the arms of a tall man with blond hair and blue eyes beside her.

"Even if we can't be together, one day, I will let your descendants become members of my Kurt family."

The words that that person said when he left New York and returned to the UK were still in his ears. Grandma Lu was silent for a long time, sighed softly, and locked the photos back in the drawer again.
