Chapter 43

Ling family.

When Ling Shaoyu returned home, Mrs. Ling happened to be sitting in the hall. Although she was over fifty now, her meticulous attire still showed her dignity and nobility.

"mom."

Ling Shaoyu stepped forward, Mrs. Ling said "hmm" and asked, "Why did you come back so late today?"

Ling Shaoyu smiled, "I went out to meet a friend."

Madam Ling raised her eyes to look at him, she didn't show any expression on her face, and asked lightly: "Is that Su Man you mentioned to me last time?"

Ling Shaoyu replied: "No, it's another friend."

Madam Ling responded, but said nothing more.

Ling Shaoyu saw a stack of invitations on the coffee table in front of her, and was flipping through several of them in his hand.He was a little puzzled, and after sitting next to Mrs. Ling, he asked, "Mom, what are you looking at?" He picked up a few and looked at a few, and then asked, "Why are there so many invitations? Is there any party going to be held?"

Madam Ling put the invitation card in her hand to the side, then picked up another stack to look at, and said slowly: "It will be your dad's birthday soon, and your dad originally said that we will eat as a family." A reunion dinner is fine, I don’t want to make it big. But I think our family has not been lively for a long time, why don’t we take this opportunity to invite some old friends to come over for a gathering.”

"Really?" Ling Shaoyu couldn't help but look a little happy. After thinking for a while, he patted his forehead and said with an embarrassed smile: "Look at my memory, I actually forgot such an important thing. I remembered It's dad's 59th birthday next Saturday."

"Ah."

Madam Ling was still checking the list of invitations for any mistakes. On the next page, she happened to see the name of Xia Donghai from the Xia Group.She paused, and after closing it again, she suddenly asked again: "You told me last time that Su Man is the stepdaughter of Xia Donghai, the chairman of the Xia Group, but I remember that there is only one daughter in Xia Donghai's family." A biological daughter, right?"

She turned her face slightly to look at Ling Shaoyu, still with a serious look, and said unhurriedly: "I seem to have seen that child, in your hospital office, and your relationship is still very good?"

Ling Shaoyu's smile stagnated, he had always understood his mother's behavior, she would never ask other insignificant people for no reason, but once asked, there must be intentions.

He forced a smile, but said firmly: "Mom, the person I like is Manman, and the only one is just an ordinary friend."

Madam Ling's face, which had no superfluous expressions, seemed to have become even colder now.

She turned her face back and said indifferently: "I'm just asking casually. Since you insist on choosing that Su Man, I have nothing to say. But..."

At the moment when the words paused, Ling Shaoyu could almost clearly feel that Madam Ling's aura suddenly changed, and her brows became a little more sharp.

She said solemnly: "You should know the rules of our family, but the first thing to remember for any woman who enters our house is how to be a good wife. What our family needs is a gentle and virtuous daughter-in-law who knows how to take care of her husband and teach her children, and There is no need for a famous and ambitious daughter-in-law who is out in public all day long."

She looked at Ling Shaoyu again and asked, "Do you understand me, son?"

Ling Shaoyu's face froze, and his smile gradually dissipated. Even though Mrs. Ling's tone and tone didn't change at all, when each word was clearly uttered, he felt as if he had thrown a stone in his heart.

Facing Mrs. Shangling's solemn eyes without a hint of a smile, he tried his best to make his expression natural, fell silent for a while, nodded and replied: "Yes, I will clarify this matter with Manman in the future."

Madam Ling turned her head in satisfaction, and said: "Well, according to the family rules, the selection of daughter-in-law should be very strict. But since you have made such a big noise in private, we can't lose Etiquette. At your father's birthday party next Saturday, you can bring Su Man over to have a look. Whether you can do it or not depends on your father's wishes."

She put down all the invitations in her hand, and stood up gracefully: "I'll go to the kitchen to see if tonight's meal is ready. Your dad should be home from get off work later."

As soon as she walked to the entrance of the hall, she seemed to think of something again, paused, and suddenly said to Ling Shaoyu: "Also, that Mrs. Xia's daughter, you should also invite her to your house to have a good time." .”

Ling Shaoyu froze for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I see."

When Mrs. Ling's figure had walked out of the living room, his brows were tightly furrowed and twisted tightly, as if tied in a knot.

He thought that since his elder brother was the heir in the family, the requirements on him would be relaxed, but who knew that there were still some things that could not be escaped.The Ling family has always chosen their daughter-in-law based on family status, and most of them choose from among the ladies of various famous families.Just like his sister-in-law, who was carefully selected by the family, her style is somewhat similar to his mother.

But he likes Su Man and wants to be with her. Now it seems that there may be some twists and turns.

And the only...

Speaking of it, he was a little reckless in finding her today. He was kind enough to persuade her to live in peace with Manman, but now he was too impatient and caused unnecessary misunderstandings. That girl really didn't plan to turn back this time. up.

Ugh.

Sighing heavily, he leaned his head back on the sofa cushion behind him. For a moment, it seemed that infinite troubles and burdens rushed to his heart, which made him feel a strong sense of burnout and exhaustion.

night.

QUEEN BAR.

The bar, which had just opened for a short time, has already become a lively place of joy at this moment.The lights were shining all around, and the demons danced wildly, making a lot of noise.

In the corner, Xia Weiyi was sitting in front of the bar drinking silently.Mi Xiaotu arrived just after receiving the news, and didn't know what happened to her. Seeing her like this, she couldn't help shouting: "Only, why did you come to the bar alone? Didn't you say you were going to the hospital to take care of Young Master Gu?" Is it?"

Xia Weiwei was stunned, seemed to have just realized something, then slowly shook his head: "I won't go."

Her voice was low, and the surrounding area was too noisy, Mi Xiaotu couldn't hear clearly, so she asked loudly, "What did you say?"

"Not going." Xia Weiyi said again in a raised voice.The bartender at the bar mixed a cocktail and put it in front of her, and she drank it in one gulp.

Mi Xiaotu had never seen her drinking so fiercely like now, her eyes widened in fright.I don't know if it's because of the stamina of the wine, or because the wine was too strong, the only lacrimal gland suddenly developed, and tears flowed down the corners of the eyes.

Mi Xiaotu panicked when she saw it: "Only, what's wrong with you, you cried, what happened, did someone bully you?"

"No." Xia Weiyi shook his head again, wiped away his tears with his hands, suddenly laughed, and asked, "Do you still remember when you advised me not to study abroad when we graduated from high school, how did you talk to me?" Did you say that?"

Mi Xiaotu didn't expect Wei Wei to drag the topic so long at once, she was stunned suddenly, thinking about the things at that time, she seemed to have forgotten it, and seemed to vaguely remember it.

Seeing her dazed there, Wei Wei smiled and said loudly: "I still remember, you told me, Wei Wei, you can't go abroad, if that bad mother and daughter take your father and your father while you're away Your home has been taken over, so what should you do? You must stay here, so that you can watch them and prevent them from playing tricks!"

After hearing what she said, Mi Xiaotu seemed to remember everything suddenly, and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.These words were really something she could say. At that time, she would persuade Weiwei like this. Firstly, it was for her own sake, and secondly, it was out of her own selfishness. She didn't want Weiwei to leave her in the country without anyone to accompany her.

"Why did you suddenly ask about something that happened so long ago?" Mi Xiaotu asked blankly.

Xia Weiyi smiled sadly, and said: "I realized that what I did was really a failure. Even though I didn't go abroad that year, I still didn't keep anything. My father didn't keep it, and my family didn't keep it."

After laughing lonely, she picked up the newly mixed wine on the bar and drank it in one gulp.

"Only, don't drink like this, you get drunk easily..."

Mi Xiaotu wanted to stop it, but Xia Weiyi smiled and said to him: "Rabbit, let me tell you, remember never to trust a man casually, they are unreliable, and they will let you down. My father That's right, Gu Yiran used to be like this, Ling Shaoyu is like this now..."

She laughed out loud, but she only felt that her heart and mouth were full of bitter taste, and she subconsciously wanted to pick up the wine glass on the bar.

After Mi Xiaotu was stunned, she reacted in time and quickly reached out to stop her: "Only, stop drinking. If you have any sad things in your heart, you can tell me. Let's go out and talk, don't stay in this bar..."

"I'm fine," Xia Weiyi closed his eyes, swallowed the bitterness, and said with a sad face, "I'm not sad, I just feel a little disappointed, really just disappointed."

Mi Xiaotu didn't understand at all, and said with a bitter face: "Then can we go out for a drink, you are unhappy and want to vent, I will accompany you?"

Xia Weiyi laughed again: "The wine outside is bitter, but the wine here tastes the best."

Mi Xiaotu wanted to cry a little, and said helplessly, "But Young Master Gu will be unhappy if he knows that you come here to drink again. He threatened me last time that he would send me to Africa to be with refugees. The only thing is, you just think it's for me, let's leave this bar first, otherwise, Young Master Gu won't let me go this time!"

Xia Weiyi couldn't help laughing and said: "It's okay, he's just scaring you, if he really dares to do anything to you, I won't let him go..."

Mi Xiaotu was still not at ease when she heard it, thinking about it, she knew, how could the only number of paragraphs compare to that of Gu Dashao?Every time something happened, she, the unlucky ghost, was the one who got cleaned up in the end!
"The only one..." Mi Xiaotu wanted to persuade her again, straightened the only one's body, and was about to help her up, when the corner of her eyes accidentally glanced at a certain position in front, and saw an outstanding and handsome figure walking from the corner of her eyes. The crowd walked slowly.

Immediately, her pupils dilated, her complexion suddenly changed, and her voice trembled: "Gu, Young Master Gu?"
