Chapter 107 The Girl Looks Like Her Dad
When Xie Yiyi heard Wen Ci's concern, her mouth trembled into wavy lines and her eyes were filled with mist.
"Who did it?"
Xie Peizhou also stood up, frowned and walked to Xie Yiyi with a sullen face, as if he was going to make the other person pay if he dared to bully his niece.
Xie Yiyi sniffed and looked at Xie Peizhou eagerly, "My dad."
Xie Peizhou's brows knitted even tighter, "..."
His older brother who is twenty years older than him.
"Why did he hit you?"
Xie Yiyi took a deep breath and didn't want to talk about the beating she had received. She said firmly, "Uncle, I've made up my mind. I'm going to get the marriage certificate with Lu Bingchen tomorrow. I want to marry him."
"Peizhou," Lu Bingchen met Xie Peizhou's gaze, "I will take good care of Yiyi."
"Okay, we can talk about other things tomorrow."
Wen Ci looked at Xie Yiyi's red and swollen cheeks with heartache. She had put on makeup, but perhaps because she had cried, her eye makeup was smudged, leaving dark circles like those from not sleeping for three days.
Wen Ci took Xie Yiyi upstairs, and after she took off her makeup, she helped her apply ointment on her face to reduce redness and swelling.
In the warm and quiet environment, Xie Yiyi calmed down a lot.
Wen Ci sat on the bed with her, holding her hand, and asked softly, "Have you really decided to marry Lu Bingchen? Didn't you say yesterday that you would only be willing to enter the marriage palace after finding a man you truly love?"
Xie Yiyi glanced at the closed bedroom door.
She and Wen Ci talked about everything, and whispered, "Lu Bingchen agreed to a fake marriage with me."
"Fake marriage?!" Wen Ci was stunned.
What is going on?
"Um."
Xie Yiyi nodded. Her cheeks were still burning with pain after applying the ointment. Thinking of what happened in the Xie family's old house tonight, her eyes suddenly became moist again.
"Tonight, my mom sent me a message saying she and dad had come home specially to spend Christmas with me and asked me to come back to the old house for dinner. So I went there happily, wearing a beautiful dress and putting on my favorite makeup, thinking it had been a while since I had dinner with them. But when I got home, I realized they had tricked me into a blind date."
"They rushed back to Beijing right after coming here, not to spend Christmas with me, but to meet their chosen date, the second young master of the jewelry business. They were so pleased they didn't even ask for my opinion. They were just discussing an auspicious date for the engagement."
Xie Yiyi wiped away her tears and said, "I overturned the table and had a big argument with them, and then my dad slapped me, haha... He said he was worried about me, but I didn't appreciate it."
"Then I ran away from the Xie family and found a club to drink and vent. I happened to meet Lu Bingchen, and he said that if I really didn't want an arranged marriage, he would be willing to marry me. If one day in the future, I met someone I truly loved, he would let me go unconditionally, as a way to repay me for saving his life..."
Wen Ci was stunned for a moment.
Xie Yiyi had a faint smell of alcohol on her body, but when she was downstairs just now, she didn't smell any smell of alcohol on Lu Bingchen.
Whether it is a coincidence is debatable.
"Yiyi..." Wen Ci said softly, "Is it possible that Lu Bingchen really likes you and wants to marry you?"
"Aci, it's impossible. His heart has long been given to that person..." Xie Yiyi smiled bitterly, feeling inexplicably sour and painful in his heart.
Thinking of what she had accidentally learned that year.
Lu Bingchen's first love.
The woman who once sacrificed half of her life for Lu Bingchen, but finally broke up with Lu Bingchen and never got together with him.
Xie Yiyi pressed his chest, took a breath, and pretended to be relaxed: "Let's do this, fake marriage is also good! It can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. My parents will no longer arrange any marriage for me with a suitable partner, and I can also use Lu Bingchen's body for free at any time. Don't say that, although the old man is old, his skills are really good... And I don't have to worry about him relying on me. Whenever I get tired of him, I can break up with him!"
Wen Ci pursed her lips. Although Xie Yiyi acted relaxed and carefree, she definitely didn't mean that in her heart.
She hugged Xie Yiyi and said, "You still have me. I will always stand by your side."
Xie Yiyi's mouth trembled into wavy lines again and he took a deep breath.
On weekdays, she is always carefree and sunny and cheerful. She is an international supermodel with a hot body and full of energy. But once she touches on family affection, she is also a little girl who is easily defeated.
Wen Ci was worried that she would be secretly sad alone at night, so she said she would stay and sleep with her tonight, and changed the topic of conversation to something lighter.
The two of them lay in bed and talked about many interesting things from their girlhood.
Xie Yiyi suddenly sighed with emotion: "Xiao Ci, I remember that when we were in elementary school, we were not each other's best friends. Later in junior high school, we became closer and closer. You often came to my house to play. Perhaps this is our destiny. Look, after all these years, we are still so close!"
Wen Ci touched her nose guiltily. The reason she became closer to Xie Yiyi was because she caught a glimpse of her uncle one afternoon.
In order to see Xie Peizhou again, she took the initiative to play with Xie Yiyi and even went to her house to find her.
But later, they did become the most important girlfriends in each other's lives. Wen Ci hugged Xie Yiyi and said gently: "Well, we will be good friends for life!"
“That’s right!”
Xie Yiyi was very satisfied.
Although career is the most important thing to her parents, she used to have the love of her grandfather, her uncle and Wen Ci. She was not alone and was not without love.
"Xiao Ci, when are you going to tell your uncle the truth? Nian Nian is your uncle's biological daughter?"
Wen Ci was silent, not knowing how to answer.
Xie Yiyi, "You still don't believe in your uncle's feelings for you?"
Wen Ci whispered, "I believe it. I believe Xie Peizhou likes me, and it's a love story between a man and a woman. But... maybe the psychological trauma from that time is too great. I always feel like my current situation is just a beautiful dream. One day, I will wake up from this dream, and Xie Peizhou will become the elder who hated me so much back then. What if he fights with me for custody of Nian Nian again? Then I will be left with nothing."
Xie Yiyi sighed softly.
After reading other people's stories, it is clear that there is no doubt that my uncle likes Wen Ci.
But people are so complicated. When you are in their midst, you can’t see through things that are obviously very simple.
There seems to be a lack of an opportunity between Xiaoci and her uncle.
"It's okay, take your time."
That night, the two best friends chatted for an unknown amount of time before they drifted off to sleep.
Downstairs, Xie Peizhou and Lu Bingchen also chatted until late.
In Xie Peizhou's heart, Xie Yiyi has been following him since she was a child. Although she is not his daughter, he raised her as his daughter.
The "father-in-law's" mood is really complicated.
As a brother, he identified with Lu Bingchen.
But as Xie Yiyi's uncle, he was much stricter towards Lu Bingchen.
The two men ended their conversation only when the sky began to turn pale.
Xie Peizhou drank a lot of wine and stayed up late, so he felt dizzy and groggy. He rubbed his solar plexus and walked up the stairs step by step holding the handrail.
Suddenly, a thought popped into my mind: I should not have a daughter in this life.
If another twenty years had passed, he might not have been able to accept that the little flower he had carefully cared for was taken away by another man along with the pot.
It’s better to have a son, so that you can take away the flowers from other people’s houses, even in their pots.
Xie Peizhou chuckled, laughing at himself for dreaming before he even fell asleep.
He hasn't even got his wife yet, but he's already thinking about having a baby with Wen Ci.
I don’t know whether the children we have in the future will look more like me or Wen Ci?
It’s better to be like Wenci.
It's said that girls look like their fathers and boys look like their mothers.
