[Comprehensive] Traveling to the world of romance novels
Chapter 20 Xibao
The first thing she saw was a pair of finely crafted Italian handmade leather shoes, linen suit trousers that were ironed without a trace of wrinkle, and then a suit jacket of the same color and style, wearing a dark red tie.
A quick glance last night did not reveal that Xu Cunzi was much older than five years ago, and her black hair was now grizzled with stars.
Seeing him coming in, Shang Qinqin didn't get up, and didn't speak, but just followed him with his eyes, waiting for him to walk in front of him.
The maid left the living room at some point, and now only the two of them were left in the living room, which was tens of square meters in size, and neither of them spoke first.
A ray of golden-red sunset mischievously slipped in from behind the wind-blown veil, and just landed on Xu Cunzi's neck.
Shang Qinqin stared blankly at his neck reddened by the setting sun, his Adam's apple was obviously protruding, which made her think of the word "sexy".
She somewhat admired her ability to distract herself.
Forced to move his gaze upwards, the square chin, the thin lips tightly pursed, the high nose, and the eyes that do not show any emotion.
When she met his eyes, Shang Qinqin couldn't leave her eyes anymore. She seemed to have returned to five years ago. Countless times, she also looked into his eyes like this.
In the end, it was the other party who spoke first: "It's been five years." It's been five years, and his voice was tired and old.
Shang Qinqin also sighed: "It's been five years."
"I thought you died five years ago." The words were so calm, as if they were telling a story about a stranger.
There was obvious surprise on Shang Qinqin's face: "Dead? Why?" Did he always think that he was in an accident at the airport, so there was no news?
Seeing that her expression did not seem to be acting, Xu Cunzi was also confused for a moment: "You don't know—"
Seeing him stop abruptly, Shang Qinqin was even more curious: "Know what?"
Xu Cunzi remained silent, but her face seemed to become less gloomy.
He continued: "You have returned to the mainland again... I should have thought of it, that is your hometown."
Shang Qinqin was silent.
"You left without saying goodbye five years ago. As one of the parties involved, I think I have the right to ask for an explanation."
Shang Qinqin said in a mocking tone: "Participants? Explanation? Mr. Xu's words are so bitter, he thought he was watching Shi Nai's favorite soap opera."
"It's been five years, and your appearance hasn't changed much. I didn't expect your temperament to be the same as before."
Shang Qinqin was silent, and secretly vowed not to talk to him again.
But he said to himself: "I have already found an excuse for you at your company, saying that your mother hasn't seen you for many years and wants you to stay for a few more days so that they can go back first."
Then do I have to thank you for not advocating to "help" me resign?Shang Qinqin thought to himself.
"Your mother's side - if you want to see her, I will help you arrange it. Your younger brother has gone to the best middle school in Hong Kong, and his grades are very good." Xu Cunzi is like a talkative street sister-in-law, chattering endlessly homely.
"By the way, there is one thing you probably don't know. Your mother is married again, with a good partner, and she is the manager of a steamship company."
The news was so shocking that Shang Qinqin forgot his oath and blurted out, "When did it happen?"
Xu Cunzi showed a childlike triumphant smile: "Three years ago."
"Is that the man from the coffee shop?"
Shang Qinqin asked nonchalantly, but Xu Cunzi knew what she was thinking: "You guessed it right."
Shang Qinqin didn't know what expression to put on.She thought that her mother had a deep love for her father, and she might not be able to let go of it in this life. She didn't expect that ten years after her father passed away, she finally got out of her emotional pain and bravely accepted another person's love.
In a way, she is a strong woman.
Xu Cunzi continued to report with her every detail of the past five years, just like the report: "Conghui is engaged to that boyfriend named Song. To be honest, I don't like him very much. Congshu met a girl, it is Conghui. A friend of mine, a gifted woman, from Trinity College, Cambridge."
"Is she pretty?" Shang Qinqin wanted to slap himself after he finished speaking, the question was really too sour.
Xu Cunzi was taken aback for a moment, but laughed heartily: "She's pretty, ten years ago, I would have chased her."
Shang Qinqin didn't know that her angry expression was completely imprinted in the other person's eyes, she twitched the corners of her mouth: "Now you can too - but since she is already Congshu's girlfriend, you should not act rashly Alright, so I won’t let people gossip again.”
Xu Cunzi's expression was quite different from when he entered the door earlier. His expression was relaxed, and his tone was a little cheerful: "She is not Congshu's girlfriend. I heard that the girl is very proud. Congshu may be this time." Met a thorny rose."
Shang Qinqin's tone became more and more sour: "Isn't that better? The fair competition between father and son is the most exciting."
Xu Cunzi picked up the cup of tea from Shang Qinqin on the coffee table, and took a sip to moisten his throat naturally: "That girl is too young, I have no interest."
"Is there anyone in Hong Kong who doesn't know that Mr. Xu likes young girls the most?"
"You're talking about the old imperial calendar hundreds of years ago." Xu Cunzi sat down opposite her, with a very relaxed posture. "Is there anyone in Hong Kong who doesn't know that Mr. Xu, a golden bachelor, likes intellectual women around 30 years old?"
Shang Qinqin was about to sarcasm a few more words, but he was stunned when he heard this, and he stammered a little: "You, who are you talking about, who is the golden bachelor?"
Xu Cunzi looked calm: "That brat Congshu is not qualified to be called a golden bachelor."
"You, are you divorced?" Shang Qinqin didn't know what expression to make.
"It was five years ago."
"why?"
"No reason. There was a woman who wanted me to divorce very much. After thinking about it, I really didn't have any relationship with my former Mrs. Xu, so we divorced."
Shang Qinqin wanted to cry and laugh at the same time: "Is it that simple?"
"Otherwise, what else could be the reason?" Xu Cunzi made a surprised expression, "Does the law stipulate that the relationship cannot be divorced?"
"So you are single now?" Shang Qinqin didn't quite believe his ears, so he confirmed it again.
"Although the marriage is a divorce, but—" Xu Cunzi deliberately prolonged the ending.
"But what?" Shang Qinqin raised his heart again.
"But there are three oil bottles. Fortunately, the eldest and second child have already grown up, and the third child will get married soon, so the oil bottle is not too burdensome."
Shang Qinqin felt that his eyes were blurred, and there was a warm current sliding on his face.
"After talking for so long, there is something I haven't asked Miss Shang yet." Xu Cunzi changed the subject.
"What?" Shang Qinqin didn't realize how gentle his tone was.
Xu Cunzi got up suddenly, and took out an exquisite small half-open box from nowhere. He knelt down on one leg and held up the box: "Miss Shang is so beautiful, she doesn't wear jewelry all over her body, she looks dull, I want to ask Shang Miss, would you like to add a small ornament to your right ring finger?"
"you……"
"Qinqin, I love you. These five years have already let me know how painful it is to lose you, and I can no longer bear this pain for one more second. So, Qinqin, promise me?"
***
After a hundred years of Xu Cunzi, Shang Qinqin did not show much pain.There were some people who were talking about it, and they said watch it, this old Mr. Xu's young wife has a lot of inheritance, and she will find a young and handsome young student in a blink of an eye.There are also boring people who have arranged a profile of young and handsome young people from all walks of life in Hong Kong, guessing who will eventually get the property of the Xu family.
Hearing about this, Xu Conghui was so angry that he wanted to talk to those people, but was stopped by Shang Qinqin: "The mouth grows on other people, and you don't care what they want to say, why bother to find it uncomfortable?"
Xu Conghui was still angry: "Then let them slander you?"
Shang Qinqin still said the same thing: "The mouth grows on other people, so what they say can't make us really want to do something?"
"But……"
"Could it be that you believed those rumors, fearing that Xu's property would change his surname overnight?" Shang Qinqin half-joked.
Xu Conghui stomped his feet: "What time is it, you still have to joke."
"Since you know those rumors are all false, why are you angry? Don't ruin your mood for irrelevant people." Shang Qinqin was still smiling, lowering his head and playing with the flowers and plants he raised.
Xu Conghui let out a long sigh, and didn't bring up the matter again.
Two days later, Xu Conghui received a call from his elder brother Xu Congshu, who sounded very anxious: "Conghui, it's not good, Qin Qin...Mom, she's gone!"
When she hurried to Xu's old house, her sister-in-law Jiang Xibao welcomed her to sit down with a smile, and glared coquettishly at her husband who smiled awkwardly: "Conghui, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry he called you here without knowing the situation." .”
"What happened?" Xu Conghui was at a loss.
Jiang Xibao took out a torn envelope and said, "You'll understand after reading it."
The elegant handwriting on the envelope was obviously Shang Qinqin's, and it said: Congqi, Congshu, Conghui, dear.
"Smart, smart, smart, if you read this letter, I have already drifted on the vast Pacific Ocean with the cruise ship."
"Your father hoped that I could live happily, so I went to find my happiness."
"Mr. Xu said many times that he would travel around the world with me, but he could not do it for various reasons. Now that he has passed away and I am free, I have a greater responsibility and obligation to travel around the world and fulfill your father A living dream."
"Don't worry, I'm fully prepared and will take good care of myself. I didn't mean to disappear on purpose. Everywhere I go, I'll send you pictures of scenery to report my safety."
"If one day you no longer receive my landscape films, don't worry, at that time I have found my ultimate destination."
"I wish you all, and wish me happiness every day and all the best in the days to come."
