Chapter 7 Chapter VII

The next day, Jieyu flew to Singapore wearing a white shirt and blue trousers. This time Lao Jin came to pick her up in person. "How is Mr. Xing?" "I urged us to do this and that in the morning. I knew you were coming, so I was very nervous." Xie Yu smiled, "It seems that I am not afraid that I will not leave when I come." Lao Jin stretched his neck, "Are you willing, Miss Hua, are you willing?" Xie Yu said, "I just want to discuss this matter with him." Lao Jin was stunned for a moment, smiling all over his face, and suddenly, the smile didn't fade away, and he shed tears.

Xie Yu nodded teasingly, "Surprisingly, such a big man cried in fright when he heard that I might not leave." Lao Jin couldn't laugh or cry, he opened his mouth but couldn't close it. The two got into the car and drove to the city center. Xing House is on the top floor of a building. As soon as the private elevator door opened, I saw Kyoko sitting in a wheelchair and waiting. Xie Yu immediately greeted him with a smile. Xingziwo was so happy that she didn't know what to say, and after a while she said, "Xieyu, you look best in a white shirt and blue trousers."

Xie Yu smiled and said to Lao Jin: "Does this imply that I save money on clothes?" Lao Jin wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief while laughing, "Miss Hua is talking and laughing happily." A servant pours the tea. Each apricot house is a model unit from Architectural Digest. Kyoko told her, "I just finished my meeting with Baron Rossi." Xie Yu smiled: "I don't know any of these people, so you don't need to tell me." "I want to build a reputation with you." "Blur." Kyoko laughed. Xie Yu knelt down and held his hand.

His whole arm was lifeless, heavy and dull, like a piece of rubber, but after a while, she found that the arm was warm, and the blood was still flowing in the skin, it was just a sleeping arm. In the future the engine will have a chance to start again and the arm will move freely. But not yet! Jieyu didn't want Xingziwo to know that she was thinking so much, so he pushed the wheelchair to the living room. She stood in front of the long window and watched the scenery. "Every residence of yours has the best of vantage points and picturesque views." "All I can use is my eyes." He sighed.

Xie Yu's beauty is delicious. "A more beautiful apartment in Paris?" "You can start tomorrow if you want." "That's exhausting." "Everyone is afraid of my hard work." "Don't worry too much. I've always heard from my sister that after the age of twenty-five, I'm afraid of taking a long-distance flight. I wish I could fold my limbs." At this time, a secretary suddenly came to talk to Kyoko and whispered a few words. He raised his head, "Please forgive me Xieyu, I have to answer a call." He went into the study.

Xie Yu looked at his back. Fortunately, I'm so busy, otherwise I don't know what to do when I get up in the morning. Lao Jin asked behind her: "Miss Hua, will you stay?" Xie Yu smiled. Lao Jin immediately apologized, "I was too hasty." Xie Yu went into the room to freshen up. It was a dormitory specially designed for young girls, and all the decorations were done in a lavender so light that a careless person would think it was white. There is a plate of shells on the coffee table, which can be seen by laymen as a very complete and precious species. One golden baby is the size of a palm, and the other rose murex has a lot of thorns.

Xie Yu was lying on the bed with his clothes on. She no longer has a home. Can she regard Xingzhai as her home? At this moment, she is just a guest, with no guarantee at all. So you have to get married, and if you can't, at least have some private savings around you. A graduate of a management university has an annual salary of less than RMB 200,000. He wears a suit and tie and goes to work from 9 to 6 every day. In addition to car money and food, he has to consider starting a family. Those people are not her objects anyway today. Someone knocked on the door. "Come in."

"The wheelchair is too big to get in." Xie Yu quickly went to open the door. Kyoko said, "It's good to see you." "me too." But Lao Jin followed like a shadow, "The doctor is looking for you." Xingzi was depressed, "I hate it." Like a toddler being forced to take a nap. Xie Yu laughed out loud. In the evening, she changed into a dress of simple color and pattern. Seeing her, Lao Jin praised her and said: "Miss Hua lives up to her name." "Old Jin, I suspect that you are from a literary background." Lao Jin laughed.

Xingzi said in a daze, "It only takes a little dressing up to explain the language." She sat down and took a sip of champagne. "You have to understand that after three to five or seven years, you will lose your beauty." Xingzi was taken aback. "And nothing lasts forever." There is a very precocious vicissitudes of life in Xie Yu's voice. "So, if this relationship is short-lived, please let me know." Xingzi was stunned, wise and intelligent, he suddenly realized that what Hua Jieyu asked for was a certain guarantee. He stared at Jieyu. Xie Yu had no fear, and made contact with his deep eyes.

He finally spoke: "Jieyu, if you want, we can get married, and you can share my property." Xie Yu smiled, "That's too generous." "I will make appropriate arrangements so that you can rest easy." Xie Yu said softly, "I'm sorry I have to make some demands. I'm an orphan and have nothing in this world." "I see." "Thank you." "Please take a small box from the left pocket of my coat." Xie Yu walked over, lightly reached into his handbag, and took out the box. You can tell at a glance that the box contains a ring.

When I opened it, it was indeed a sapphire engagement ring with exquisite inlay, and the color of the gemstone was as clear and bright as sea water. "Please accept my marriage proposal." Xie Yu whispered, "I'm afraid I lack enthusiasm." Xingziwo suddenly smiled, "Even if there is, I will not be blessed to enjoy it." Xie Yu couldn't help laughing, and then, she quietly shed tears. "It's fine as long as you accompany me like today." Jieyu nodded. "Tomorrow I will publish a simple engagement announcement in English-language newspapers around the world." The interpreter said, "I have no objection." Kyoko sighed, "In the future, if you feel dissatisfied, you can leave freely." "I see." "The lawyer will bring some documents for you to sign tomorrow." Xie Yu drank all the champagne in his hand. She has always wondered how they negotiated with them. Now that she knows, she will talk about it calmly and sincerely, just like any business negotiation. Xie Yu put the ring on the ring finger of his left hand. Lao Jin opened the door and came in to pour wine for them. "Congratulations, Miss Hua, congratulations, Mr. Xing." He was all smiles, he didn't care if Hua Jieyu was genuine or fake, this loyal servant was just happy that his master finally found his confidante. Xie Yu stood on the terrace and took a deep breath. The night is cool and the weather is not as hot as expected. The sky suddenly flashed with lightning, and then thunder came down. Xie Yu was startled and backed away. She turned her head and found that Xing Ziwo's wheelchair was no longer there. She chased out and saw the wheelchair in the corridor. "Ziwo." She stopped him. He stopped at the sound. She walked over, "This is the first time you are angry with me. He denied it, "I didn't." "Why did you go away so quietly?" He smiled and argued, "There is something wrong with the wheelchair controller." Xie Yu said gently, "I see." She held on to the armrest of the wheelchair and wouldn't let him go. "I am a bit tired." Xie Yu asked, "Is it because of me?" "Never." "That answer reassures me." "Good night." "See you tomorrow." The most difficult hurdle has passed, just like thousands of job seekers, the first thing is to negotiate a proper remuneration. Then, serve the boss sincerely. Xie Yu fell asleep. She remembered that her sister could sleep too. Sometimes, there are obvious finger prints on the waist of the white evening dress that has been taken off. Xie Yu really doesn't understand why those people's hands are so dirty. The next day, the maid came to wake her up: "Miss Hua, the lawyer is already waiting in the reception room." "I'll be right there." Fifteen minutes later she saw Lou Simin in the reception room. This was a pleasant surprise for Xie Yu. Lou Simin smiled and said, "I am here to represent you. Xingzi came in, and Xie Yu immediately went to hold his hand. Lawyers from both parties discussed details, resolved doubts, and quickly reached a consensus. Then it was Xingzi's turn to sign with Hua Jieyu. At this time, Lou Simin suddenly said: "I want to say a few words with my client." "Please." Lawyer Lou and Xie Yu were invited to the reception room. She raised her head and looked at the wall first, "Is there a surveillance system?" Xie Yu couldn't help laughing, "He's not that kind of person." Lou Simin nodded, "I'm glad to hear you say that." "What are you going to tell me?" "The contract is all about property transfer. There is no clause mentioning when to get married. You have freedom and autonomy." Xie Yu laughed again, "I'm not that kind of person." Lou Simin said, "Jie Yu, you are very brave." "Thank you." "Are you going to accept his gift?" "I would love to have a home of my own." "You might have a better chance." Xie Yu smiled, "Maybe, maybe not, I have a more steady personality." "Then come out and sign." Kyoko waited patiently. He waited until Xie Yu signed it before he stamped his fingerprints. Only then did Lou Simin smile and say, "Jie Yu, your sister is getting married next month, and I hope you can attend the ceremony." Xie Yu opened his mouth wide, in astonishment. Life is like a play. Flowers are silent throughout. Then, a knowing smile appeared on Xie Yu's face. I only heard Xingzi ask with a smile: "Youyuan invite me?" "Yes, the post is here." "I would like to watch the ceremony." Xie Yu smiled and said, "I have to go and help her with the dowry." Lou Simin also laughed, "Don't you ask who she married?" That's just a destination, who is different, "Yes, who?" "Your brother-in-law's name is Gao Zhishang." "Hey, nice name." "He's a well-to-do builder, a good character, and a decent financial situation." Xie Yu is a little excited, but Yu Yu is getting married. There was a time when she was around twenty-four to twenty-seven years old, she longed for a home, and complained dejectedly all day long that her youth was dying, and there was no guarantee at all, and she always hoped that Fang Yutang would express something. Helplessly, Fang Yutang is a bit of a lowly person, he doesn't care about his girlfriend's concerns, the more she thinks about it, the more he delays and indifferently refuses to let her get what she wants, as if using it to threaten her. A few years later, Bu Yu suddenly dropped this matter and ignored it. I didn't expect it to happen today. Xie Yu suddenly asked, "Are you still planning to have a baby?" "It looks like it will, otherwise why register for marriage." "What did grandma say?" "I'm very happy. It's the best news in my life." Xie Yu also felt beaming. Huabuyu is determined to be a housewife, and she will definitely perform. This kind of role is not difficult to do, and she will be competent. The lawyers leave. Xie Yu smiled and said, "I wish I could fly to my sister right away." Xingziwo said softly, "Don't go too long." Xie Yu replied softly: "It's just a talk, why does she need me, and I still peel peanuts? Ask Lawyer Lou to hand over the posts to me." Kyoko felt relieved. Now, serving him was her main task. Xingzi Wo asked, "What gift do you most hope for without speaking?" "She told me that she wanted to own a pair of roller skates when she was a teenager." "Oh, what about after that?" "A considerate husband, an obedient child." Xingzi laughed, "What else?" "Fame and fortune come with pride." "She did it all." Xie Yu sighed, "It can be seen from this that the only thing a person can rely on is his hands." Xingziwo said: "You are really her arm." Xie Yu was taken aback, "No, no." She shook her hand, "I can't take care of myself." It's not talking to feed her. In the middle of the night, I dragged my tired body back from the set, and sat in front of the makeup mirror to remove the makeup. The residual makeup was wiped away to remove the color residue. That wasn't actually her sister. Xie Yu let out a breath. "Then what gift should we give?" "Something she can always use." "Then send cash." "It doesn't seem like enough respect." Kyoko laughed, she was still young after all, and there was nothing more precious than cash in the world. "Then, it's up to you to decide." Because of Xie Yu, Xing Ziwo was able to gossip about family affairs, which is a rare extra enjoyment. The next day, Xieyu was at the barbershop when he heard two ladies talking behind him. "Look, Huabuyu is getting married." Xie Yu was taken aback, but Bu Yu had obviously announced this to the reporter. "It's really strange to be able to get married. It's a 40-year-old piece of crap." "The other party is a baby." "Look, there are many ways." "Women need to be famous, don't they?" "A piece of famous rotten stuff... Men only eat it." "Where can we find this kind of small businessman in the new era?" Ordinary people never praise celebrities well. Ordinary people get the greatest pleasure from trampling on the reputation of celebrities, so ordinary people are very willing to praise some people as celebrities, and the main purpose of celebrities is to be vented by ordinary people. Xie Yu didn't feel very sad after hearing such comments. In a free world, freedom of speech, being a celebrity has to pay a price, and this fallacy is superfluous. She could have someone come home to cut her hair, but that would be a complete disconnect from the world, and there was no need to make such a sacrifice. Xie Yu left the barbershop and saw Xingfu's car driving towards her. Just as she was about to go up to meet her, someone called her: "Miss Hua." Jieyu raised his head. At this time, she was still wearing a white shirt and blue cloth pants, pure as before, and Kyoko never asked her to make any changes. The other party was a middle-aged woman who was dressed as a person, wearing a hat with a veil, and she couldn't see her face clearly for a while. "Who?" "My surname is Zhu." Xie Yu has always liked this surname, Zhu means red, and red is the most beautiful of all colors. "Ms. Zhu, what's the matter?" "I want to have a few words with Miss Hua." At this time, the driver of Xingzhai got off the car vigilantly. Xie Yuyin said: "I have something to hurry back." I don't want to talk too much with strangers. But the lady gently pulled Xie Yu's sleeve, "I am Ziwo's mother." When Xie Yu heard this, she was stunned, and she immediately said to the driver: "I met an old friend, let's have a cup of tea, and you will still be waiting for me here in 20 minutes." The driver had to back off. Xie Yu said to Ms. Zhu, "Let's go and sit down nearby." After sitting still, Xie Yu saw her face clearly. Xieyu quickly came to the following conclusion: this Ms. Zhu was definitely more beautiful than today's Hua Jieyu when she was young, but when she is old, Hua Jieyu is definitely not as good-looking as today's Ms. Zhu. Xie Yu couldn't help asking: "Where have you been all these years?" Ms. Zhu replied bitterly: "I was kicked out of Xing's house, and I will never be able to enter the door." "Why?" Xie Yu was shocked. Ms. Zhu lowered her head. "Sorry for taking the liberty." She raised her head bravely and smiled, "Are you my wife?" Interpretation but not a smile. "Great, I'm so happy for Ziwo." "I have many faults." Ms. Zhu held her hand, "Ziwo has you as a company, so I won't worry about being lonely." "Ziwo must have missed you all these years." Ms. Zhu lowered her head again. After a while, he said, "I read about your engagement in the newspaper, so I came here to meet you. Didn't it scare you?" "I am very brave." Ms Zhu smiled. The two of them were silent for a while, and Xie Yu kept laughing along with her. There were many doubts in her mind, but Ms. Zhu didn't say anything, and she didn't know how to ask. "Don't tell Ziwo, we met before." "why?" "He hates me." "There is no such thing, it must be a misunderstanding, he doesn't hate anyone." Ms. Zhu raised her head and held the corners of her mouth. She seemed to be smiling, but more like crying. She said, "He was hurt because of me." Xie Yu opened his mouth wide. Her shock was beyond description. After quite a while, Jieyu asked in a very low voice in disbelief. "He changed from a healthy young man to an unrecognizable one. Is it because of you?" Ms Zhu nodded. Xie Yu was inexplicably annoyed, "You were the one who shot that day?" Ms. Zhu's face was pale, and she raised her head, "No," she seemed to have decided early on to tell the story and release herself, "I didn't shoot the gun, but I should have been the one who ate the bullet, Zi Wu Fei rushed forward and blocked the shot for me." Xie Yu's whole body was stiff and he couldn't move his limbs. She felt a little dizzy, and there were gold stars flying in front of her eyes. She took a deep breath. Ms. Zhu began to cry. She has been carrying a burden of guilt for many years. Her pain is like a vast ocean, always surging up and down, and her scars will never heal. As soon as she closes her eyes, she will see today's Xing Ziwo, whose injuries were caused by her alone. Xie Yu was at a loss, "Why, you are his parents, why?" Ms. Zhu let out a breath, "I'm not chaste, he wants to shoot me." After hearing these words, Xie Yu felt even more desolate and desolate, "But, that's between you two, why bother Yan Ziwo?" Ms. Zhu could not answer. At this time, the driver of Xingfu approached gently, saw Jieyu, felt relieved, and quietly exited. The big mistake has been made, and no one can look back. "Why are you telling me all this?" "You will be the daughter-in-law of Xing's family, I think you should know." Xie Yu sighed, "Yes, you are right." Her tone gradually calmed down, "Don't worry, you won't see me again in the future." "No, no, I didn't mean that." "I'm not asking for anyone's forgiveness." She stood up. Xie Yu reached out to help her. "I wish you all the best of luck." Xie Yu didn't know how to answer. Ms. Zhu stretched out her hand and touched Xie Yu's temples lovingly, "Goodbye." She turned and left. It took a while for Jieyu to remember to pay the bill. When the driver saw her coming out, he quickly drove the car closer. Later, he reported to Lao Jin: "I don't know who the lady is. Miss Hua obviously doesn't know her, but after talking for half an hour, Miss Hua looked haggard and pale, as if she was frightened, and there were tears on her face." When Xie Yu got home, he realized that his knees were a little soft and his joints were not listening. It was only at this time that she realized how shocking the news was to her. As soon as he entered the door, he found that the living room was in a mess, the furniture was overturned on the ground, and the furnishings were in a mess, as if a horse broke into the house and destroyed the arrangement. Xie Yu was even more surprised. "What's the matter?" she asked the maid. Lao Jin appeared behind her with his head downcast. "How did this happen?" Lao Jin's mouth opened and closed. "Don't hide anything from me!" "Yes, Miss Hua." "Tell me?" "Mr. Xing lost his temper, turned on the full power of his wheelchair, and went on a rampage, he, alas." After listening to Xieyu, he felt relieved. She lowered her voice, "Where is he?" "In the study." Xie Yu walked towards the study door and knocked twice. The other party seemed not to believe that someone would be so bold to harass him. His voice was a roar of disbelief: "Who?" Jieyu pushed the door open and went in. The study room was more messy than the living room, and an entire bookshelf fell half-slantedly on the desk. Computer wires were ripped out, and parts were scattered on the floor. Xie Yu just pretended not to see, approached him, and looked at his face carefully, "I really didn't expect someone to be so bad-tempered." Somehow, when he saw Xie Yu, his anger was half gone. Xie Yu sat down and said softly: "If something goes wrong, just say it, why bother to scare Lao Jin." Xingzi said nothing. "Tell me, what is it, see if I understand." Xingzi Wo still didn't make a sound, but his face gradually calmed down. "tell me." "Look at these socks they're wearing with me." Xie Yu took a look and saw that it was a pair of dark blue socks, there was nothing wrong with it. Sure enough, he lowered his head in frustration, "I really wish I could wear socks by myself." That's right. Xie Yu felt sorry for him, squatted down, and gently supported his arms. "From today onwards, I'll help you pick out your socks, and don't let those careless people make you unhappy." "Xie Yu," he cried suddenly, "I'm a useless person." Xie Yu hugged him, leaned his face against his chest, and said softly, "Really, do you really think so? So, how are you going to take care of me?" Kyoko didn't know how to answer. "The engagement announcement was published in English-language newspapers around the world. Relatives and friends all over the world have seen it. Greeting cards and gifts flooded in. It's too late to regret." "Do you regret it?" Xie Yu smiled, "Of course not, otherwise, I would be the one who loses his temper." "You are the angel in my life." "That's Lao Jin, I'm just your fiancee." "You're so funny, Xie Yu." "Look at these days, honesty has become ridiculous." Xingzi laughed. Xie Yu pushed the wheelchair out of the study, and there were nurses waiting at the door. When Lao Jin saw his boss, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xie Yu gratefully. As soon as Xingzi went out, Xie Yu was so tired that he collapsed on the sofa, showing his exhaustion. "Miss Hua, I'll prepare coffee for you." "Rinse it with milk, a big glass." The servants came out to clean up. "Fortunate to have you, Miss Hua." Xie Yu raised his brows, "Old Jin, just now, I saw the former Mrs. Xing." Lao Jin's eyes widened, he immediately understood why the young woman was suddenly weary, he smiled wryly. "What a tragedy it is." Lao Jin could not comment. "You said, is this family cursed?" Lao Jin suddenly said boldly: "Miss Hua, maybe you are the one who can break the curse." "Unless he's going to get better, you say, is that possible?" Lao Jin suddenly plucked up his courage and said, "There is a glimmer of life." "What did you say?" "There is a medical experiment that can give patients with severe spinal injuries a chance of survival." Xie Yuhuo turned his head, "How far can you hope to recover?" "Limited movement above the waist may be possible." "what" "However, the two patients who were willing to do the experiment failed to leave the operating room." I see. "Don't mention it in the future." "Today, the doctor reported that the muscles of his legs were necrotic, and he needs to be treated urgently." Xie Yu lowered her head, she knew earlier that it had nothing to do with socks. "So I was in a bad mood, and I thought, if I can persuade him to have another operation, it might be a good thing." "I won't dictate his opinion." Lao Jin was helpless. "However, there is an opportunity to speak to that group of doctors." Huabuyu got married. Xie Yu arrived one day early, unexpectedly found that Bu Yu had gained a little weight, was in a cheerful mood, and didn't intend to be extravagant. Xieyu remained calm. She lived in a house on Kyokowo Mountain, and a secretary named Meili came to report to her immediately. She put it this way: "I want to give my sister a surprise." "Miss Hua, how much time do we have?" "Even this afternoon, there are still thirty-six hours." The young woman smiled, "No problem." "You know what to do?" Meili smiled, "I've never been married, but there are wedding experts here." "great." Xie Yu asked her sister, "Why are you so low-key and plain?" "Gao Zhishang is just a small businessman. I don't have much private savings left. I want to keep it for later life." "Does Fang Yutang know that you are married?" "He saw the newspaper and sent Lilly." "what to give?"
