Strong marriage lock: Fu Shao's dumb new wife

Chapter 157 Odd Woman

Back in Xiangyuan, Qi Lingyang was wearing a black suit and sitting in the living room, still dealing with official business. Pearl ran in from the outside, laughed when she saw him, crawled into his arms and climbed on his lap.

Qi Lingyang stopped working, sat on his lap with Pearl in his arms, and stroked her soft hair: "Going out to play with mom?"

The little girl smiled, showing her white teeth, and said in a childish voice, "Yes..."

Su Xiang parked the car and came in later, seeing that Qi Lingyang was already dressed, his face was a little heavy.

She said: "Why did you go there so early, didn't you just do the sacrifice tomorrow?"

Qi Lingyang said: "The servants of the old house called and said that the old man is not feeling well. I plan to go there in the afternoon and accompany him."

Su Xiang frowned slightly, tomorrow is the death day of Qi Lingcong and his wife.

One of the greatest tragedies of man is the loss of a child in old age.The son that Qi Haipeng raised with all his heart passed away at an early age, the old man must be very sad.

But the old man is also a tough one, he was so uncomfortable, and he didn't want to take the pearl to Cheng Huan's knees, saying that something happened in the family was too dark, and the child was too young, so she should go to worship on the same day.

Pearl is a child of Seven Stars, with a poor constitution. The Qi family only has one bloodline. Qi Haipeng values ​​it very much and refuses to let the child make any mistakes. It really hurts like a pearl.

Su Xiang hugged Pearl and said, "Then I'll take her to change clothes first."

Su Xiang chose this time to return to Beicheng, on the one hand because of the charity party, and on the other hand because of Du Ruohan's death anniversary.

Qi Lingyang said: "Don't worry, let her take a nap first, so that she won't fall asleep in the evening. Do your work first."

Su Xiang thought for a while: "Well, then I'll let her go to sleep first."

She coaxed Pearl to go to bed first, picked out a piece of clothing from her closet and put it in the corner of the bed for later use, then went back to her room and changed into a set of dark clothes.

Downstairs, Mama Zhang came out of the kitchen, brought out the cooked noodles and put them on the table: "Sir, it's ready to eat."

"Well, just come." Qi Lingyang sent the email and put away the computer.

When Su Xiang came down from upstairs, he saw Qi Lingyang was still eating.She said, "Have you had lunch yet?"

Qi Lingyang looked at his wristwatch and said, "Well, it's a bit late, just eat something and go. How about you?"

Although Su Xiang was at home before, she had to be busy with work in the studio, and it was Zhang Ma who prepared the meals. Starting this week, in order to deliver meals to Fu Ying, Su Xiang would end her morning work early and set aside an hour to prepare, which is equivalent to Cook and eat by yourself.

But today Saturday, she went out with Pearl, Zhang Ma didn't prepare lunch, so Qi Lingyang ordered Zhang Ma to make a bowl of noodles.

Thinking of Fu Hanchuan, Su Xiang frowned slightly.She shook her head, with a forced smile, she said, "I ate outside with Pearl."

Seeing that her expression was not right, Qi Lingyang asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Xiang said: "It's nothing, maybe it's because I didn't feel very comfortable after lunch."

She sat down on the chair and hugged a pillow to her chest.

Qi Lingyang glanced at her and said, "What did you eat so you're so lethargic, do you want to go to sleep for a while?"

Su Xiang shook his head: "No need."

Qi Lingyang glanced at her again, asked Mama Zhang to prepare another pair of bowls and chopsticks, and then picked some noodles into the empty bowl: "Eat some hot ones."

Su Xiang took a sip of the noodle soup, Qi Lingyang saw her gloomy face, and said, "It's fine if Pearl doesn't like to go to language class, don't force her."

Su Xiang breathed out and said, "It's not about Pearl's language class."

"What's that for?"

Su Xiang poked the bottom of the bowl with his chopsticks, and after a few seconds of silence, he said, "I met Fu Hanchuan today."

Qi Lingyang paused when he reached the noodle near his mouth, put it back, and his expression turned ugly: "Did he make things difficult for you?"

Su Xiangdao: "That's not true. He suddenly asked how my throat was healed."

Otherwise, she didn't want to say anything.

Qi Lingyang has been confessing to her all the time, as an equal, Su Xiang doesn't want to hide it from him.

It's just that Qi Lingyang has a good temper, but she can't treat Fu Hanchuan well, and she doesn't want to make trouble.

"He asked about your throat?" Qi Lingyang frowned even more, "Does he know about you?"

Su Xiang shook his head: "I probably don't know. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to ask me. But I can speak suddenly, and he will definitely have an idea."

Apart from Fu Hanchuan, there should be many people who want to know.

But the difference here is that in the eyes of many people, she is a model of endless inspiration. Through her continuous pursuit, she found a cure, or luck, and she met an expert after a walk. , but in Fu Hanchuan's eyes, what he focused on was getting to the bottom of it.

Qi Lingyang's breath became heavier, and he picked up his chopsticks: "Then did you tell him?"

"No..." Su Xiang shook her head, she didn't want to have anything to do with Fu Hanchuan anymore, so she didn't want to tell him anything about her.

"But..." Su Xiang looked thoughtful, and his brows became more and more wrinkled.

Qi Lingyang looked at her: "But what?"

Su Xiang said, "My parents are of the same generation as Uncle Qi. I can't find Su Run right now, but I want to ask Uncle Qi about my parents."

"Do they have enemies or something?"

When Su Xiang said this, Qi Lingyang suddenly remembered something, as if he had heard about Su Xiang's mother somewhere.

He said: "You say that..."

He looked at Su Xiang: "I'll go to the old house in a while, and I might know something by asking the old man."

He remembered that when he asked about Fu Zhengnan and his mother, Qi Haipeng seemed to mention three beauties.It's just that he was focusing on his mother at that time, so he didn't pay much attention.

An hour later, Su Xiang called Pearl up ahead of time. The little girl was still asleep, and she couldn't even open her humming eyes. Su Xiang put her on a newly bought skirt, tied her hair and hugged her. She came downstairs.

The little girl lay on her shoulders, and continued to sleep with her eyes squinted, innocent and carefree, unaware that her biological parents were gone, and she didn't have the slightest impression of them.

When Qi Lingcong and his wife had an accident, she was still a baby and didn't know anything. When she was in Fengcheng, Qi Haipeng also said that she didn't want her child to know about her parents so early, so she could be happier.

In fact, how can such a young child know so much?The sad ones are just those who have them in their memories.

But as she gets older, Pearl will also know her own background. She is three years old this year, and both Su Xiang and Qi Lingyang think that the child should know about her parents.

When she came to this world, she should not forget the people who gave birth to her and raised her, especially, because she survived by luck, Du Ruohan and Qi Lingcong had a real start.

No matter how short it is, it is beautiful.

When we arrived at the Qi family's old house, Qi Haipeng was standing in the courtyard, ordering the servants to prepare the things for tomorrow's sacrifice, and several servants in the family were directed by him to spin like a spinning top.

Qi Lingyang walked in and called out, "Father."

Hearing the voice, Qi Haipeng turned around. Su Xiang looked at the old man and felt that he was older than when she saw him the day she came back.

The old man was wearing a white Tang suit and his hair was also white. If it wasn't for the sadness on his face, he would have looked like a fairy.

Su Xiang looked sad, she and Qi Lingyang privately called him old man, but in fact he is only 60 years old, how old can he be.

"Uncle Qi." Su Xiang hugged Pearl and asked Pearl to call him Grandpa.

Pearl slept in the car for a while, and woke up at this time, biting his fingers and looking at the old man with round eyes, the old man changed his seriousness when he saw Pearl, and called Mao Mao with a smile.

Zhuzhu corrected him: "Zhuzhu..."

"Okay, it's called Pearl now." Qi Haipeng came over and picked up his granddaughter, then turned his head and said seriously to Qi Lingyang: "Didn't I tell you to bring her here tomorrow?"

Qi Lingyang handed the things in his hand to the servants, and said, "The housekeeper called to say you were not feeling well, so he came here early."

The sun was just right in the afternoon, so the group sat down in the yard.The servant brought over hot tea, and Pearl ran up and down on the lawn when she was refreshed. The old man kept staring at the child with a gratified expression on his face.

He sighed and said: "Luckily, Ling Cong saved this child back then, otherwise..." He shook his head, "The Qi family's blood will be completely gone..."

It was a very dangerous year. After the child was born, he was raised in the incubator until full term. He was not in good health, and he was admitted to the hospital every three days.

But the child is fed, and the good living person is gone...

The old man was getting old, and a casual sentence brought up the old matter, and Qi Lingyang's breath sank slightly.

He had known for a long time that he was not from the blood of the Qi family, so he didn't mind what the old man said, but he and Su Xiang were both involved in that matter.

Du Ruohan's reckless collision almost killed all the descendants of the Qi family. The old man was furious at that time, and even cut off contact with Qi Lingyang, and no longer recognized him as a member of the Qi family.

Outsiders heard the rumors here and there, and only knew that something happened to the Qi family, and it was related to Du Ruohan and the mute of the Su family, plus the video of Su Xiang and Qi Lingyang, at that time, it was really chaotic. .

When Su Xiang thought of it now, he didn't know how he survived.

She went far away and traveled so many places, but she couldn't find peace in her heart. Insomnia and nightmares haunted her for a long time.

Qi Lingyang glanced at Su Xiang. Back then, Du Ruohan's collision was due to her obsession. Now that she thinks about it again, she doesn't know if it was fate or evil.

Su Xiang fell silent, drinking water with his head down.

Even after three years, to this day, she still clearly remembers Du Ruohan's shrill voice when she saw Du Ruohan for the last time.

"It's all life..."

I didn't expect that she would leave like that. Fortunately, when she left, she was to accompany the person she loved...

The back of her hand warmed up, she looked down, Qi Lingyang's big hand was holding hers, and when she looked up, he smiled softly at her.

Qi Haipeng's gaze was still fixed on his little granddaughter who was playing sparrows on the lawn.

The little girl sprinkled the snacks on the ground and asked the sparrow to come down to eat, and indeed a silly bird flew down to peck and eat.

Qi Lingyang turned his head to look at the old man, and said with a slight smile: "Father, back then you married my mother, and my mother later gave birth to me. Why didn't you let her give birth to you again?"

Qi Lingyang said this just to change the atmosphere.

Hearing this, the old man looked back at Qi Lingyang, then looked into the distance, took a deep breath and said, "When she married me, she said she would never have another child."

"At that time, I thought she was unwilling to have my child, but she told me that she didn't want to embarrass me in the future."

"At that time, Ling Cong was already a little sensible. She said that the Qi family belonged to Ling Cong. As long as you can grow up in Qi's family, she will give you a home. If there is another one, I am afraid that you will face the tragedy of seizing the family property in the future. "

Qi Haipeng thought of that transparent woman, a slight smile appeared on his face, and there was also some sadness.

"If I didn't listen to her at that time, I would have another one..." He sighed, if there was another one at that time, the Qi family would not be like this.

Su Xiang listened to Qi Haipeng's narration, and outlined in his mind the appearance of a smart and tough woman.

Su Xiang had heard something about Yu Kelan, and when she knew that Fu Zhengnan wanted to marry Zhuo Ya in order to fight for the Fu family, she resolutely left, and had such a negotiation with Qi Haipeng, and it was decades ago, her courage and Mind and foresight are not something that ordinary women can have, but she is also a strange woman.

Qi Haipeng said: "In my life, the most correct thing I did was to marry her."

He turned his head to look at Qi Lingyang again, his face softened, and apologetic: "The worst thing I did in my life was not to be indifferent to you after she left."

All those stumbles in the past have disappeared in the present bleak situation.

Qi Lingyang smiled and said, "Father, you are still my father now."

The mother said that she hoped that he would give him a home. He did it and did not let him live outside. He still enjoys the title of the second son of Qi in the Qi family.

Actually, there is nothing to complain about.

Su Xiang looked at the father and son who had really let go of their suspicions, smiled and said: "Isn't there still a pearl? With pearls, the blood of the Qi family can continue."

When Pearl heard Su Xiang mention her name, she opened her eyes and looked this way. She didn't know what they were talking about, so she laughed silly.

"Come here." Su Xiang beckoned to her, the little girl stepped on the soft lawn and ran over stumblingly, Qi Haipeng said slowly.

In the evening, after dinner, Su Xiang sat in the living room with Pearl in his arms and watched cartoons.

Su Xiang was a little restless, wondering how to tell Qi Lingyang that she would go back to live in Xiangyuan.

With her current status, it is impossible for her to live in the Qi family's old house. Who knows that after a while, Mr. Qi will come over and drive them all back, even Pearl is unwilling to stay.

"You come to accompany me, an old man, for an afternoon, and I feel much more comfortable. Anyway, Xiangyuan is not far from here, so just come here tomorrow morning."

"When I was young, someone told me my fortune, saying that I was my own destiny. I never believed it before, but they all left. Now there are only a few of you guys by my side, let's forget it... ..."

The old man waved his hand and asked his servants to see off the guests.

Arriving at the gate of the Qi family's old house, Su Xiang turned around and saw the lonely figure of the old man turning his back.

The old man has never said this, no wonder he is so reluctant to give up on Pearl, and he is reluctant to let the child live outside.

Su Xiang pursed her lower lip, a little unbearable, Qi Lingyang handed the pearl to her and said, "You take the pearl and go back to Xiang Garden. I'll stay here tonight."

After finishing speaking, he pushed Su Xiang into the car, told her to come early tomorrow, and told her to drive carefully.

Su Xiang nodded and agreed, tonight and tomorrow will be the most difficult for the old man, Qi Lingyang is still worried about him.

After watching the car that saw Su Xiang leave, Qi Lingyang returned to the Qi family's old house.

Qi Haipeng was sitting alone on the sofa in the living room. The huge room felt empty and cold. Coupled with some paper money offerings and other things placed there, it looked a bit shady.

Qi Haipeng stared blankly at those paper money, Qi Lingyang walked over and called, "Father."

When Qi Haipeng turned his head, seeing Qi Lingyang frowned, he frowned: "I told you to go back, why did you come back again? Did you forget something?"

Qi Lingyang picked up the remote control and turned on the TV. Even the sound from the machine brought life to the empty room.

He smiled, sat down and said: "When I came here, I was empty-handed, so there is nothing I can forget."

Qi Haipeng saw what he meant, and said in disapproval: "I don't need you to accompany me, go back."

Qi Lingyang ignored him, took out his medicine from the drawer under the coffee table, and said, "You said that you don't want us to stay. I went to the bedroom just now and everything is ready."

"..." Qi Haipeng lost his voice.

The older a person is, the more afraid he is of loneliness, and he is not the only exception.

Qi Lingyang handed him the poured-out pills: "Brother had an accident, I know you haven't let go of it. These two years have passed, three or four years, and it will pass slowly. But you haven't let go even a day, this heart disease It won't be fine."

"You entrusted the pearl to me and Su Xiang, so you really don't care about her?"

"I only promise to take care of the company for you until Pearl grows up, she will still come back here. You are gone, let her be here alone?"

"No matter what, you will always watch us for her. If you are gone, aren't you afraid that I will leave her alone?"

"Just like my mother did back then, once she leaves, you don't care about me."

"Smelly boy, it's not that you don't hold grudges anymore, but you still remember." Qi Haipeng gave him a glare, and then took the medicine with water.

He said: "I heard that you moved out of Xiangyuan, what's the matter? Su Xiang refuses to ask you to get married?"

Qi Lingyang propped his elbows on his knees and remained silent. Qi Haipeng glanced at him and felt that something was wrong.

"Let's talk about it." Qi Haipeng went to get the cigarette case, and he was stopped by Qi Lingyang just after holding it in his hand.

He stared at the TV in front of him, but he couldn't see anything, and his expression turned colder. He said: "Fu Hanchuan used tricks to restore his marriage with Su Xiang."

"Huh?" Qi Haipeng frowned, "When did it happen?"

"Three years ago, when Su Xiang left Beicheng."

"Hmph, Fu Hanchuan didn't even want his wife in order to compete with you for the succession of the Fu family. I thought he had the same virtue as Fu Zhengnan. What does he mean by forcing him back again!"

Naturally, Qi Haipeng didn't want another Fu Hanchuan to intervene in what was already a certainty.

Pearl needs a complete home, so it can't just be demolished.

He looked at Qi Lingyang and said with a sullen face: "If I don't ask, you will keep talking?"

Seeing that the old man became angry, Qi Lingyang said, "Father, I will handle this matter."

He paused and said again: "Father, please just pretend that you don't know about this matter, and don't embarrass Su Xiang, otherwise, it will be very difficult for her."

Su Xiang is now applying for a forced divorce, and it will take two years until his marriage with Fu Hanchuan ends.

In the past two years, if Qi Haipeng asked about their marriage, he would know about it sooner or later.

So Qi Lingyang thought that instead of keeping it a secret, it's better to let him know first, and don't embarrass her in front of Su Xiang.

Qi Haipeng glanced at him, smiled and said, "You have thought of everything for her."

Qi Lingyang smiled wryly: "She has burdened too much and suffered too much. I just hope that when she marries me, she will be complete and free from gloom."

He remembered Su Xiang who collapsed three years ago very clearly.Until now, she has not completely got rid of those shadows.

If he insisted on arguing with Fu Hanchuan and forcing her to do something, he was afraid that Su Xiang at that time would go back to three years ago, just a person made up of fragments, without a soul, just a walking dead.

He also owed her something, and he spent the rest of his life to make up for it, and he only hoped that she would never know...

The next day, Su Xiang came over early in the morning with pearls.The old house has also been prepared, a table is set up, and all the sacrifices are placed.

Su Xiang made the last one of the Youth League, and made a sacrifice when the time came.

Su Xiang hugged Pearl, pointed to the people in the photo and told her that those were her parents who gave birth to her. Pearl seemed to understand but knelt down and folded her little hands to worship. When Su Xiang asked her to call her parents, little Pearl was confused Uncomprehendingly, Qi Haipeng yelled, listening to this soft yell, his eyes were foggy when he looked at the person in the photo.

"Okay, okay, Ling Cong and Ruohan heard it, don't regret it, don't regret it..."

Su Xiang didn't say anything to Du Ruohan in the photo, he stepped forward to stick a stick of incense, bowed three times and left the sacrificial table.

It is empty talk to say that she will definitely live up to her trust and will definitely raise Pearl well.

She said that she would never make promises to anyone again.

After the sacrifice, the group returned to the living room to rest.

Qi Haipeng finished one thing, and now his complexion is much better. The servants brought some refreshments, and he also has an appetite to eat.

Seeing that he was in good spirits, Su Xiang thought for a while and asked, "Uncle Qi, I wonder if you still remember what happened to my parents back then?"

Qi Haipeng glanced at her and frowned slightly: "Your parents? You are their daughter, why do you remember to ask me?"

It's not that he dislikes answering, Su Xiang's question made him feel strange.

Su Xiang forced a smile, and said: "Uncle Qi, I was raised by my father at home since I was a child, and I don't know many things. Now I have some doubts about some things, so I want to learn from people who know them their business."

"I don't know Uncle Qi, do you still have any impression?"

Qi Haipeng asked: "What do you want to know about them?"

"This..." Su Xiang couldn't answer for a while, he thought so, but the words were on his lips, but he didn't know where to ask.
