Chapter 174 (2/2)
Her heart is about to melt, quickly agreed, ”good baby, let's play in the yard, leave the living room to my father, discuss important things with my grandfather.”
”Good!” To Lu Xing, she just shows her smile.
When they went out, Xiang Chaojue drank his first cup of tea. He held the bottom of the cup in one hand and the teacup in the other. He breathed a breath, and waves rose on the steaming water.
”Why don't you see the second uncle?”
Because both Mr. Xiang and Mrs. Xiang died disgracefully, and they took care of the face of the old man. In the worship activities, they only called Xiang Chaojue and his younger brother Xiang Xirong, who were sons. Even cousins were not invited.
Xiang Defeng looked down at the water with the broken leaves floating, and said in a deep voice, ”he said that he would meet a client today. He couldn't come back. Let's sacrifice his share for him.”
This has not taken over the company's affairs, Xiang Xirong has begun to put on airs.
Xiang Chaojue was not happy, but he was relieved at the thought that there would be a dispute without Xiang Xirong.
He took a sip of tea with a dignified face and said, ”come on, why didn't you go back to work so long? Is it true that you went abroad with that woman, as your second uncle said?”
He said to the old man and turned his eyes to the window behind Chao Jue.
The curtain was lifted up and hung on the side. Gu luanqing was playing with Xiang Luxing in his arms on the newly mowed lawn. Their smiling faces were so naive.
Take a closer look, Xiang Luxing's eyebrows and eyes are really similar to Gu luanqing's.
Xiang Defeng's heart sank again. He began to feel pain, but he could bear it.
He thought it was just an illusion.
Xiang Chaojue thought about it for a long time. After a cup of tea, he raised his head and responded positively to the old man's question, ”it's certainly not what the second uncle said. This matter has nothing to do with luanqing. I'm just injured by the adulterer. I'm in some trouble for a while, so I can't rush back to the company in time. But please believe me, once I get the truth clear, I'll go back to work. ”
What he said is true or false, but it is certain that he will not give up the position of president, especially to Xirong, which is unforgivable.
Xiang Defeng didn't believe what he said, but he didn't want to reveal more information. He calmly changed the topic, ”when shall we start for the cemetery?”
”Noon.”
This period happened to be the time when Xiang Chaojue's mother committed suicide.
Xiang Chaojue felt that his nerves began to ache, and the pain spread little by little, as if he had been stabbed by a needle.
He felt that he was going to be unable to make it.
At this time, a burst of laughter came out of the window. Looking back at Chaojue, Gu luanqing sat on the grass with Xiang Luxing in his arms, smiling like flowers.
She's still around.
This idea came to mind. Xiang Chaojue suddenly had the courage to stick to it. He turned his head and said, ”I know. Let's have lunch.”
”Don't try to escape, Chaojue.” Xiang Defeng also saw that he had that idea and reminded him in a deep voice.
”I know that my parents have been away for more than ten years. Even if I don't want to put it down, I can't survive.”
More than ten years is like an instant.
In fact, everyone knows that Xiang Chaojue has not let go at all. On the contrary, he is still depressed until he integrates the pain with himself.
Xiang Defeng saw that he was thoughtful. He interrupted his thoughts in a cold voice. ”Don't think about these things. Your parents love you. Their death is just an accident.”
Until now, Xiang Defeng still wants to muddle through with this reason.
He sneered at Chao Jue, ”I know why they died. Please rest assured that I don't mean to resent them. Anyway, I am their child.”
Whether they think about it or not.
Xiang Chaojue never told anyone that in the dark night they couldn't see him, he secretly gritted his teeth and swallowed many tears. He couldn't be weak because he was an orphan.
”Grandfather, if my father hadn't cheated
——”In the middle of what he said, he suddenly couldn't go on.
If dad didn't cheat, would mom not commit suicide? Will this home not be broken? Doesn't he have to bear such a heavy burden of sin?
What's the point of asking?
Xiang Defeng was not willing to let him go on, and stopped him with a sharp voice, ”don't say something meaningless, people should live in the present, and I have said many times that your father didn't cheat, he just died in an accident, and you, as Xiang's future successor, should not be so fragile.”
Xiang's heirs should not be so fragile and sensitive.
”I see. I'm sorry.” Apologizing to Chao Jue, even he himself felt ridiculous.
So they were silent, sitting face to face, making tea and drinking tea, as if each other had never appeared.
As they drank tea, they turned their eyes out of the window from time to time. Gu luanqing and Xiang Luxing were playing in the yard. The servants couldn't help laughing when they looked at them. They reminded them from time to time, ”please don't go there. There is an automatic sprinkler over there.”
Such a harmonious scene makes it hard to believe that it will happen in the cold Xiangjia.
However, it was just the calm before the storm.
