Rose Manor

Chapter 154 Break Up Immediately
At 11:30 at night, Xu Youxuan returned to the Xu family villa with her bag.

She and her boyfriend had dinner at a private restaurant, went shopping in a nearby shopping mall, and went to see a movie.Her boyfriend had just arrived in Beicheng and had not had time to buy a car, so he called a taxi. He was worried about her and sent her home first, and then asked the driver to drive to the hotel where he was staying.

Xu Youxuan opened the door with the key and walked in quietly, fearing to disturb her sleeping family.

She didn't expect that when she walked past the partition wall of the entrance, her mother was sitting in the living room, as if waiting for someone.There was a pot of brewed tea and a plate of handmade snacks on the coffee table in front of him, which seemed to be used to pass the time.

"Mom, why are you up so late?" Xu Youxuan walked over in slippers, her voice soft and her posture elegant, "Are you waiting for me?"

She felt a little guilty, and at the same time, she was also a little uneasy.

Xu's mother raised her eyes and saw that she had been dressed up carefully. She was wearing a light beige skirt. Her long hair was flowing down smoothly. She had a small shell-shaped diamond clip on the back of her head. Her dark eyebrows were slightly curved and her lips were brightly colored. A soft and graceful temperament.

Xu's mother looked at it silently, raised her chin and pointed to the sofa next to her, gesturing for her to sit down.

Xu Youxuan sat down on the single sofa with her chain bag on her knees, quietly waiting for her mother's next words.

"You came back so late, are you on a date with your boyfriend?" Xu's mother poured her a cup of red dates and longan tea and asked softly without any intention of blaming her.

Apart from her younger sister, only her mother knew that she had a boyfriend. Her mother had said that she would find time to talk to her father. Maybe her father had been busy recently and had no time to take care of anything else.

Xu Youxuan picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. The sweet taste spread in her mouth, which was very comfortable.She did not lie and deny it, and said lightly: "He just sent me back. It's too late today. I will introduce him to you when I have the opportunity in the future."

Mother Xu sighed.

When Xu Youxuan heard this sigh, her heart skipped a beat, and she raised her eyes to look at her mother.

"I'm waiting for you here just to tell you that I didn't have time to tell your father about your relationship." Xu's mother said in a helpless tone, "He went to the Fu family's old house today and met the old man of the Fu family. The engagement date for you and Fu Jichen has been confirmed, the 28th of this month. Your father is going in place of your grandfather, which is your grandfather's wish."

Xu Youxuan's hand trembled, the tea in the cup spilled out, and a few drops fell on the back of her hand.

The teapot had been kept on the heater to keep it warm, and the water was very hot, but she didn't feel it at all.

Her face became visibly pale, and Xu Youxuan murmured numbly: "How could this happen... Where's Fu Jichen, he also agreed?"

Xu's mother told the truth: "The old man of the Fu family will tell him."

Xu Youxuan shook her head, tears welling up without warning: "Is dad at home? I want to see him, and I want to ask him how he could confirm the engagement without asking my opinion, how could he!"

As she said this, she couldn't control her emotions and asked hysterically.

Xu's mother hurriedly got up and walked around the coffee table, came to her daughter, and hugged her shoulders distressedly: "Don't yell, your grandpa doesn't sleep well. If you wake him up, he will get angry. Your dad drank too much at night, and when he comes back Just fell asleep.”

Xu Youxuan held her mother's hand and looked at her pleadingly: "Mom, please help me. I don't want to be engaged to Fu Jichen. Please help me intercede with my father and grandfather, okay?"

There is an old lady at home, so even if it is her daughter's marriage, Xu's mother does not have much say.

Xu Youxuan knew this, but she was in a panic at the moment. She couldn't think of a better way except asking her mother for help.

"It's very late. You go to bed first. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Xu's mother wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes as she spoke, patted her daughter's back, and comforted her, "Tomorrow your father will rest at home, and we'll follow him carefully." He talks."

Xu's mother persuaded him in a low voice for a while before sending him back to the room upstairs.

Xu Youxuan lay undressed and lay on the bed, thinking about the engagement all night long. Her thoughts were so messed up that she barely closed her eyes until the sky turned white.

The mottled wet marks on the pillow were tears she shed unconsciously.

At around seven o'clock in the morning, Xu Youxuan counted the time for her father to get up, went to the bathroom, took a shower, put on clean clothes, and went downstairs to the living room.

The nanny was making breakfast in the kitchen, and the morning news was playing on the TV. Xu Qinian had just woken up, wearing a black and white wide-striped POLO shirt and dark gray casual pants, staring at the TV.

Noticing the footsteps behind him, Xu Qinian looked back with a gentle expression on his face: "Get up so early?"

"Well." Xu Youxuan's eyes were a little red and swollen. After some ideological struggle, she walked to her father and said, "Dad, I have something to tell you." Xu Qinian took a sip of boiled water on the coffee table, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV He turned down the volume a few degrees. He was very satisfied with this daughter who had been outstanding in all aspects since she was a child: "What do you want to tell Dad?"

"You were too busy some time ago, so I didn't tell you something in time." Xu Youxuan took a deep breath. It would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous. She anticipated her father's reaction before she said the words, and just wanted to take a gamble for herself. " I have a stable emotional relationship, and if nothing else happens, I will consider getting married by the end of this year. So, can you cancel your marriage to the Fu family."

Xu Qinian stopped drinking water and fixed his eyes on her face, as if he didn't believe that these words came from the mouth of this quiet and well-behaved daughter.

After a while, he lowered his face and asked, "You said you have a boyfriend?"

Xu's mother didn't sleep well last night. She just came out of the bedroom. As soon as she walked to the living room, she heard her husband questioning her sternly. Then she saw the scene of the confrontation between father and daughter, and she woke up completely.

After walking over in three steps and two steps, Xu's mother took her daughter's hand and said, "Have you told your father?"

Xu Qinian looked at his wife and said in disbelief: "Do you know about this?"

Xu's mother looked slightly stiff and said, "I found out a few days ago. I wanted to tell you that you have been socializing a lot these days and haven't found any opportunities."

Xu Qinian's image of a loving father no longer existed. He had a straight face and was not angry. He didn't bother to find out who his daughter's boyfriend was, where he lived, and what he did for a living. He simply sentenced him to death with one sentence: "I don't care about you." At any point, break up immediately. On the 28th, I want to see you appear at the Manderley Hotel and get engaged to the eldest grandson of the Fu family!"

After saying that, he placed the cup heavily on the coffee table.

Xu Youxuan's face was ashen, and her heart fell heavily to the bottom of the valley.

The meaning of my father's words was obvious, there was no room for maneuver on this matter.

Xu Youxuan returned to the room upstairs alone without having breakfast.

She knew that tears could not solve the problem, so she felt sad for a while and then cheered up. She called her friends in the circle one by one and asked them for Fu Jichen's personal contact information.

Judging from the photos circulating on the Internet, Fu Jichen's feelings for Shen Jia Nian did not seem to be fake. She did not believe that Fu Jichen would compromise.

After several twists and turns, she finally got Fu Jichen's mobile phone number.

Without hesitating for too long, Xu Youxuan dialed the number.

However, a mechanical female voice came from the receiver, telling her that the caller had turned off her phone.

Shen Jia Nian also stayed up all night. He left from the airport and returned to the villa in Yunding Palace Garden at almost three o'clock in the morning.She sat in a daze for a long time, then started to pick up the things she had not finished packing before.

There are few things that really belong to her. Everything she sees is given to her by Fu Jichen.

Even her cherished cello was bought by Fu Jichen from Yin Shuyao. Later, she wanted to return the money to him, but he did not accept it.

And it was even more impossible for her to take away Yan Qiusheng's cello, which was bought at a high price at auction.

In the end, Shen Jia Nian only packed out a duffel bag with a few changes of clothes, and sat on the carpet. Her fingers rubbed the white jade carving on her wrist, as if she could still feel Fu Jichen's remaining body temperature on it.

The morning light poured into the room, and Shen Jianian leaned against the wardrobe as if he was helpless, his thoughts gradually drifting away.

The door of the room was not closed tightly. Cheng Jin came up to ask Shen Jia Nian to have breakfast. He knocked on the door first. Shen Jia Nian didn't hear it in the cloakroom, so Cheng Jin walked in.

"Jianian, are you going on a long trip?"

Cheng Jin walked to the door frame of the cloakroom, saw the duffel bag at Shen Jia Nian's feet, and asked in confusion.

Shen Jia Nian's face was unnatural for a moment, but she quickly covered it up. She used the excuse she had told Fu Jichen before: "No, I'm going to pack some unworn clothes away."

Cheng Jin had no doubt. The temperature was getting hotter day by day, and winter clothes were indeed hard to wear. She smiled and said, "Breakfast is ready."

"I'll go eat later." Shen Jianian pulled the corners of his lips and smiled lightly.
