CH 4.1

Chapter 4.1 - Congrats

After hanging up the phone, Xie Yu didn't leave until Su Yan's bedroom turned dark, then turned to leave.

It was nearly one o'clock in the morning when he got home, but the living room on the first floor was still brightly lit. 

He was getting married tomorrow, and his father was in the hospital again, so both his aunts stayed at home tonight to accompany his mother, and it is not surprising that the three sisters are chatting now.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, his mother’s angry voice came from the living room: "What time is it? He hasn't come back yet, and I don't know what ecstasy the little fox fed him."

'Still complaining and dissatisfaction with my future wife.' Xie Yu felt sad.

The aunt, who had been mild-tempered, persuaded: "Hey, don't think too much. Isn't this a good thing, it shows that the couple has a good relationship." 

His little aunt also advised: "That's it, the children have their own thoughts. Sister, don't worry about it so much."

Although his aunts tried to persuade his mother to accept Su Yan, his mother didn't plan to stop there and instead became more aggressive: "It's not that I don't want Xie Yu to get married, but that girl is really not worthy of my family. She also looks good, but can she be eaten as a meal? She dared to talk against me when she first came to the door, and Xie Yu still protects her everywhere. If she married into our family in the future, she would ride on the top of my head. Can't you understand that?"

Both aunts sighed helplessly. The two children are getting married tomorrow, so it was useless to say anything now.

"Why do you think so much? When the two of them get married, you can let them live alone, and you can enjoy your life." One of his aunts said.

The other aunt also advised: "I don't think our Yu is the kind of person who forgets his mother after marrying a daughter-in-law, so don't worry about it."

But his mother didn't listen to the advice at all, and snorted coldly, saying: "Yes, if it isn't his father is in bad health, and wants to see him getting married soon, I will definitely not promise him to have a wedding with this little fox!"

Auntie: "Have they got the certificate?"

"Ha...she thinks beautiful. I won't agree with the two of them to get the certificate! I really don't know what Xie Yu thinks? The Jiang family girl is

beautiful, gentle, and capable, every time she visits me, she buys me gifts, and she is nice and obedient which makes me happy. Not only that, but look at her family background. Can that Su girl compare with Jiang Qi? I don't know what happened to Xie Yu to breaking up with Jiang Qi. Such a nice girl!"

The more Xie Yu's mother talked, the more she became angry, and even the aunts could not stop her.

Xie Yu sighed helplessly and walked into the living room with a heavy face: "Is that enough?"

Shen Rong was stunned for a moment and then became angrier, suddenly pointed at her son, and exasperated: "You guys, take a good look, this is the good son I raised, he doesn't even want his own mother for a little fox!"

"You don't have to like her, but at least you have to respect her. She is the woman I chose, and when you humiliate her, you humiliate me." Xie Yu said with a sullen temper.

Shen Rong stared at his son with a livid face: "When did I humiliate her? Isn't her father a nouveau riche? If she's not a little fox, how can she make you fall in love with her? So you don't want your mother anymore? What did I do to her?"

"......" Xie Yu was utterly speechless.

His mother was messing around now, and it doesn't make any sense at all.

Xie Yu nodded and smiled bitterly: "Okay, I wronged you, I apologise, and from tomorrow, I will not be in your eyes at this house."

After tomorrow, he will live with his wife together at their own home.

After telling that, Xie Yu went upstairs. On the way, he heard his mother's scolding voice and his two aunts' comforting voices behind him, but his footsteps didn't stop, he just felt agitated.

Xie Yu threw himself into the bed and sighed. Staring at the shadowy chandelier on the ceiling, he suddenly thought of Jiang Qi. As his mother said, Jiang Qi was beautiful, sensible, and could make elders happy, but she was not the wife he wanted. 

When he started a relationship with Jiang Qi, he actually loved her. His love was deep and lingering, and he could not wait to pluck all the stars and moons in the sky and give them to her. But as time went on, his love for Jiang Qi became weaker and weaker, until finally there were no feelings in his heart, so he proposed to her to break up.

It was a sunny day when he proposed to break up. Jiang Qi cried so much that he felt guilty, but he didn't feel pity. Since he didn't love her, they should have separated earlier, otherwise, it will only delayed each other's time. 

Jiang Qi cried and begged him not to break up, he sighed lightly but said, "I'm sorry." Then stood up from the stool, and was about to turn away when Jiang Qi suddenly grabbed his wrist, tears were blurred, but he stared at him stubbornly and unwillingly: "Did you never put her down?"

He blurted out: "No."

Jiang Qi smiled, uglier than crying: "I didn't say anything. Who is she."

"..."

Jiang Qi released his hand and stared at him with a sad and playful look: "How good is that village girl? Do you remember her for so many years?"

He was silent.

Jiang Qi cried and asked him again: "Have you never thought about marrying me?"

He didn't answer, but he knew his answer: yes, he never thought about marrying Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi was warm and unrestrained, like a red rose, an excellent girlfriend, but not suitable for a wife.

Jiang Qi had already seen through his thoughts, and he asked angrily and unwillingly, "Then why did you follow me to Xifu in the first place?"

Because you were very dazzling at that time, but she was unremarkable.' Xie Yu could not tell this Jiang Qi.

One was like a red rose and the other was like a white rose. He liked both, but his vanity made him choose the red rose at that time. However, during the years with the red rose, he had never forgotten the white roses. 

After a long time, he got tired of the red rose, so the red rose became mosquito blood, and the white rose became the white moonlight, which made him yearn, and she was more suitable for a wife than the red rose. This was the answer, but there was no way, to tell the truth with Jiang Qi.

The only thing he could say was, "I'm sorry."

After that, he didn't stop much, went to the counter to check out, and left the cafe.

After breaking up, he lived a single life for a long period. In his spare time, he read books, hung around with friends, and travelled around the world with a bag on his back. During this period, he also met many suitors, but none of them were able to move his heart. But the sense of loneliness always striked in the dead of night. Whenever he had free time, he basically spent his time on his mobile phone, first on the Moments, then on Weibo, and then on the Q/Q space. 

Late one night, he swiped a notice of a party for his junior high school classmates in his circle of friends.

Since studying abroad, he has not had any contact with his junior high school classmates, but he signed up without hesitation, and went to the party in a suit as if he was going to attend a formal banquet.

The meeting place was set in a luxury KTV. The lighting in the room was dim, and various colours of light and shadow were intertwined. A female classmate was singing "Little Love Song". Her voice was delicate and gentle, like a gentle spring breeze.

As soon as he opened the door of the private room, he saw her sitting in the far corner, quietly and obediently admiring others singing.

That day, she wore a pure light green dress with light makeup, her long black hair was like a waterfall, and there was an addictive gentleness between the corners of her eyes and brows, like a weeping willow in March, delicate and moving.

After not seeing her for many years, she had changed a lot. The rustic appearance had been completely washed away leaving only a pure image.

When he walked into the room, she raised her eyes and looked at each other. His heart skipped a beat. 

From then, he was sure that she was the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

But for some reason, his dream was about to come true, but he always had a bad premonition in his heart, and he didn't know where this premonition came from, so he was always anxious.

The sound of the phone vibrating suddenly sounded in the dark and quiet room.

Buzz... Buzz...

It was an unexpected call. He froze for a while before picking up the phone, but an unfamiliar call appeared on the screen.

'It's so late, who could it be?'

After hesitating for a moment, he still answered the phone, "Hello?"

But no one responded.

Xie Yu, who was in a bad mood, became more frustrated: "Who the hell are you?!"

"..."
