Chapter 21 married?
Hu Jing's face was slightly heavy, and her heavy makeup complemented her gloomy face, giving her a sense of fear.
"What happened?"
Under the harsh scolding, Shu Wei was also stunned, squatting down to pick up the ring, but Gu Chenchen was faster than her, and immediately grabbed the necklace into her palm. She did marry Gu Xinyan, but she also promised not to tell anyone.
Gu Xinyan had repeatedly warned her that his mother could not be provoked and that marriage must take time.
"Did my brother give it to you?"
The mother and son even spoke in the same tone and questioned her indiscriminately. Shu Wei bit his lip, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Taking a deep breath, she tried to squeeze out a smile, "Nowadays, many girls like to wear rings around their necks. I'm just following suit."
Shu wei breathed a sigh of relief. This reason should be okay, right?
"Are you crazy about getting married?" Gu Chenchen cast a disdainful glance at her, "You have no manners. You think my brother will marry you if you buy a ring? Stop dreaming. My sister-in-law can only be elder sister Zhaoying. You're not worthy!"
"Auntie, you'd better..." Shu Wei quickly took the ring back and hurriedly opened the door of the examination room. She believed that she would be able to put the ring on her ring finger fairly soon. Gu Xinyan once said that it would be less than three months at the latest, so now she had to cherish it even more.
But his hands were tightly held and he turned around to see Hu Jing's livid face, "I don't care if you follow or if Xiaoyan really gave it to me. I'm not afraid to tell you now that I've said that. My wife is Zhao Ying. You... Are far from it!"
As if in response to her words, when Hu Jing looked at shu wei with disdain on his face, a tall shadow walked towards him.
"Auntie, Chen Chen, you're here." Lin Zhaoying appeared at the right time. Gu Chenchen and Hu Jing immediately changed their attitude when they saw her. Shu Wei suddenly looked like an outsider.
Elder sister Zhaoying, brother is coming back soon. You have to hurry up. Don't let the vixen seduce your brother."
Lin Zhaoying covered his lips and giggled, "Of course. I called xin yan yesterday and said I would be back today."
"That's good. Let's have dinner tonight and discuss the re-engagement."
Hearing Hu Jing mention the engagement, Shu Wei had no doubt that it was meant for her to hear. The anger that he tried to suppress was suddenly extinguished and replaced by a deep sense of exhaustion.
Gu Xinyan is back today? Discuss the engagement? Heh... She didn't even know when gu Xin Yan left.
The three of them walked away laughing and chatting, their backs against each other, and no one would doubt their identities. But the truth is, is she the real feng family?
Thinking of this, Shu Wei's eyes turned red, clenched his teeth and turned around.
"What's wrong?" Suddenly, the man's gentle inquiry brought warmth to his cold body. Shu Wei wiped his eyes and looked up at Qin Yuanxing's sunny face. There was an obvious worry in the frown.
"What's with that expression? Yao Yao said you have a difficult patient on your side. Let me take a look." He looked around, but there was no sign of Hu Jing.
Shu Wei smiled bitterly and pushed away the warmth in his palm, "Doctor Lin has taken over. I have something else to do. Let's go."
She turned around and left. After she was busy, she hid in the empty ward and hesitated to make a call.
"Wei Wei?" Shu Wei was momentarily distracted by the man's mellow and pleasant voice on the other end of the phone. She paused for a moment before slowly opening her mouth.
"When are you coming back?"
"There are more things to do, and it will take some time... Tomorrow."
Shu Wei's heart sank. With a faint "Oh," he pushed open the window and saw Lin Zhaoying and Hu Jing standing downstairs." Gu Xinyan, shall we hold the wedding?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and a voice of knowing everything seemed to be saying something, "Why did you mention this all of a sudden? It was agreed that for the time being..."
"When else?" Shu Wei saw Hu Jing and Lin Zhaoying smiling and his tone became more urgent, "How long do I have to wait for your wedding? Do we have to let Lin Zhaoying ruin our marriage until it's completely unrecognizable?"
Gu Xinyan frowned and realized that she was not in the right mood, "What are you talking about? You promised me when we got married. It's up to me."
"Yes, I did." Shu Wei took a deep breath and squeezed the phone tightly. Looking at the bleak weather, his heart ached for no reason, "But Gu Xinyan, I regret it. I don't have the courage to keep my promise now."
"Wei Wei. We'll talk about this when we get back... This information will be processed and the representative of the other company will be ready to sign the contract immediately."
Shu Wei listened to his methodical instructions and stood quietly by the window. It was not until the end of Gu Xinyan's busy schedule that she spoke slowly.
"Gu Xinyan, are you regretting it?"
He didn't respond. Shu Wei didn't even dare to breathe. He said cautiously, "Did you regret marrying me?"
Finally, without waiting for an answer, Shu Wei clutched her chest nervously and only heard the man's barely audible sigh.
"We'll talk about it when we get back."
She opened her mouth to say something else, but the formulaic "Beep" in the receiver interrupted her. Such a sound was always abrupt in the empty room, as if someone had hollowed it out.
Shu Wei put down his phone, looked at the reminder, and whispered, "Today is the winter solstice."
It was almost the winter solstice when she met Gu Xinyan. During the snowy season, he saw a man with stomach problems in the hospital.
"Sir, here's your stomach medicine. Remember to take it before dinner."
The man took the medicine in his hand and looked at it carefully. He frowned involuntarily. Shu Wei looked at it and found it more and more attractive.
"Small fiber particles, specifically for hemorrhoids and anal fissures?"
Shu Wei still remembered that the medicine was handed over by himself. I don't know when I got mixed up with other patients and made a big joke. The doctor who guided her came to trouble her, and Gu Xinyan quietly settled it.
She remembered those things so clearly that she did not know how much of it was in that man's heart.
At the airport in North city, the last flight arrived before the snow fell.
The man was wearing a dark gray coat, and the bleak wind blew against his face, but it did not affect his pace. The handmade suit accentuated his figure, and his cold air seemed to be colder than the weather. When the airport staff saw him, they quickly stepped aside.
Boss, the car is ready. Should we go to changqing apartment or Gu residence?"
Gu xinyan handed out his briefcase and immediately got in the car, "Don't let her know about my return. Let's go back to the house first."
"Yes." The assistant was the one he had promoted. He always carried out his orders 100 % and never asked why.
Gu Xinyan thought of the phone call in the afternoon and felt a sense of annoyance. So he opened the window and let the snow and wind into the car. I don't know what Shu Wei meant by that question. Maybe something happened to him during the days he left.
The assistant looked back and didn't say anything. They drove straight to Gu residence. They didn't ask much about the boss, but along the way, they saw the christmas tree displayed by the merchants and the discount notices all over the street. Before he stopped the car, he couldn't help but speak.
"Boss, today is the winter solstice."
"Well, you should leave work early to accompany your wife and children."
Embarrassed, the assistant rubbed her hands and awkwardly reminded, "Did you also give Miss Shu a present? After all, it's a holiday. Women like to celebrate."
After that, he secretly looked at gu Xin Yan's face, only to find that the latter's face was livid and his jaw was even tighter in a straight line.
"Cough! I'm talking too much."
At the moment when it was snowing heavily, Shu Wei heard someone calling her.
"Wei Wei, come and help daddy bring the food out."
Early in the morning, my parents ordered me to come back on the winter solstice day, since I haven't been home for so long. Her father, Shu Yuan, moved to North city from his hometown in his early years and saw this festival very differently.
The family of three was gathered around the dining table, and the snow was falling outside, but it did not affect the atmosphere at home. The hot and noisy feeling always makes people feel comfortable. The hot pot on the table gives off an attractive fragrance. Shu Wei took a deep breath and decided not to think about those annoying things.
"Your cousin came over yesterday and said that her cousin is getting married. She's also dating a prince from the north city. She's from a good family."
"Oh, what day is it?"
"New year's day." Wei Rongqing put down her chopsticks and complained about Shu Wei's indifference. "You and Xin Yan have been together for a while. Why didn't you say anything about marriage?"
"Not yet. We're both busy, and we don't have time to prepare these." Shu Wei buried himself in his food and didn't take Wei Rongqing's words to heart. It wasn't a day or two since he urged him to marry Gu Xinyan. He always brought it up every time he came back. Instead, she didn't come home for a long time, and her father cooked all the dishes she liked.
Wei Rongqing couldn't stand her coldness and suddenly moved the plate away.
The chopsticks were in the air, and Shu Wei looked up slowly, "Mom..."
"You're the only one in the family who hasn't moved. Even your cousin, who is two years younger than you, is married. Aren't you in a hurry? You have to wait until you become an old lady, don't you?"
Shu Wei helplessly put down his chopsticks and sighed slowly, "Mom, I'm only twenty-four. It's still early."
"That's all you can say! I asked you to bring Xin Yan home with me. Where is he? You're back alone again today. What's going on between you two?"
"Nothing much. He's out on a business trip." At the mention of Gu Xinyan, Shu Wei immediately lost his cool. His indifference in the afternoon reverberated in his ears, and it hurt every time he thought of it.
When she returned home, she had been trying to avoid being lonely, but she didn't expect gu xinyan to be talked about. It seemed that everyone knew that they were in love and that gu xinyan loved and pampered her. But no one knew how unimportant she was.
"On business trips, that's always the excuse. I told you long ago that we ordinary people can't afford those boys, so you have to pester them. It's all right now. It's been two years in vain and nothing has come of it."
Wei rongqing became angrier and angrier as he spoke. He slammed his chopsticks on the table and pointed at Shu Wei and shouted, "Your mother, I want to have a grandchild. I'm going crazy thinking about it! But you just don't have the courage to ask your blind date not to marry you!"
"What are you talking about? Why are they all your daughters? How can you be so mean?" Shu Yuan could not bear to look at it and cursed softly.
"I can't wait to be so disobedient all the time..."
The quarrel between the two grew louder, and Shu Wei stood up abruptly, "I wish I didn't have a daughter, right?" She tried to calm herself down, but she could not calm down for a moment. For a moment, a hundred feelings welled up in her heart, and her eyes turned red, "I wish I hadn't given birth to me, didn't I? You said he didn't want to marry me. What can I do? I begged to follow him, but your daughter, he just didn't want it!"
