Chapter 53 Is six years a long time?
"You are almost thirty, and you are talking nonsense. You feel sorry for your sister-in-law."
Huo Jingting shot back. He walked to the door of Huo Jingchen's room and said, "Come and open the door."
"I am your servant?" Huo Jingchen said with a stern face but acted honestly. He still took out the key and opened the door. "You don't need to feel sorry for her. Big brother should feel more sorry for yourself."
"A 32-year-old unmarried gay man who was eliminated from the dating market."
Only brothers know where to stab someone so that it hurts the most.
Huo Jingting looked indifferent, and these words did not constitute any offense to him.
"Why did you suddenly agree to let Jinying go to Zhuifeng Island?" Huo Jingting walked in and sat down, his posture relaxed, and the tone of his question was much more casual than when he was outside.
Huo Jingchen raised his hand to unbutton his coat, took it off and hung it on the hanger.
"Her legs are on top of her. Does it matter whether I agree or not?"
"The lawyer she inquired about the contract with was my high school classmate."
Huo Jingchen: “…”
"Did my parents know about this too?"
Huo Jingting's eyes seemed to be smiling, but he teased his brother with a playful look, "When you handed the matter over to Jinying, you should have guessed that our parents would know about it."
"Mom and Dad asked you to find a chance to bring the person back to see him." Huo Jingting said halfway, looking at the empty cup on the coffee table, "They also said that."
"The kettle is right next to you." Huo Jingchen immediately understood what his elder brother meant.
"I'm a little tired."
"Then go back and rest."
Neither of the two brothers wanted to give in, and finally Huo Jingchen gave in. He walked over and poured the water, "Drink after you finish talking, otherwise I'm afraid you'll choke."
"Thank you for your concern." Huo Jingting's thanks sounded more like a provocation.
Every move that followed consumed Huo Jingchen's patience. After the man drank two glasses of water but still didn't get to the point, his patience was completely gone.
Suddenly, Huo Jingting said something without any reason, "Not bad, your patience has improved, the six years have not been in vain."
After saying that, Huo Jingting stood up and prepared to leave.
"I also told you to have children sooner."
Huo Jingchen's eyes flashed with disappointment, "I know."
Little did they know that what comes next is the key point.
Huo Jingting raised his eyes, his gaze full of sharpness.
This was the first time he used his elder brother's attitude to teach his younger brother a lesson.
"We're a family. You should have a limit to your temper after being in a rage for so long. Dad has given in for you so many times in the past six years. You know in your heart that he is your father, not your grandson. At his age, he still has to coax you to forgive him."
After talking around in circles for so long, I finally get to the point.
"Next year at the latest, he will find a chance to transfer you back. When your family returns together, the matter of your secret marriage will be over."
Recalling the past, Huo Jingchen's eyes were hurt. When he heard the first sentence, Huo Jingchen was still somewhat moved in his heart, but in the end, that emotion disappeared without a trace.
"Brother, do you think six years is a long time?"
Huo Jingchen asked back, his dark and cold eyes filled with anxiety.
"You and my second sister can both follow the paths you want to take, but I can't. People outside say that my father loves me the most. The reason is that he wants to entrust the regrets of being a soldier to another person and let me complete his mission."
"I don't reject being a soldier. What I reject is that I don't have the right to choose. On this path, whether I like it or not, he won't give me the opportunity to choose."
"He spent six years in such unhappy times, but no one has thought about the more than 20 years I spent in such unhappy times."
Huo Jingting frowned, and the anger in his eyes dissipated and turned into self-blame.
"I care too little about these things."
Huo Jingchen lay on the bed, resting his hands on his head, and said calmly, "It's meaningless to talk about the past. We'll talk about the future later. When Zhuifeng Island is stable, I will find a chance to transfer back."
Seeing that Huo Jingchen wanted to end the topic, Huo Jingting wisely stopped talking about it.
"Then I'll go back first." Huo Jingting stood up and left. When he reached the door, he paused. "Are you free tomorrow night? It's been a while since we had dinner together."
"Let me take a look."
"Wait downstairs at five in the evening."
After that, the door closed and the room fell into silence.
Huo Jingchen stared at the ceiling and exhaled.
Huo Jingting went out and bumped into Sang Qi who was coming down the stairs. He said in a surprised tone, "Comrade Huo?"
"Secretary Sang, long time no see. Are you here to attend the conference as well? I heard that you were transferred to Suzhou."
Sang Qi shook his head and denied, "I'm not, I came here to take care of other things. How is your health, teacher? We haven't seen each other for three years. It's not easy for us to meet each other. If you are free, can we have a meal together?"
"She's fine, but my mother told me that you were transferred to Suzhou."
When Sangqi mentioned his mentor, he was moved. The secretary behind him whispered, "Secretary, time may be a little tight."
He was so happy that he forgot about serious matters.
"I have some things to take care of. What floor is your room on? I'll come back to find you."
"I live in Room 302. I'm free every night except tomorrow night."
Sang Qi agreed, said hello and went downstairs, and Huo Jingting returned to his room. -Suzhou .
After two days of hard work, Xia Yaoyao and Li Yinshuang returned home.
Xia Jinkuo was reading a newspaper when he heard the two people talking. He took off his glasses and looked over. He found that both of them looked frustrated and their faces were very haggard.
"What's going on?"
Li Yinshuang was so angry that she was speechless. She took out the agreement from her bag and threw it to him.
"Look for yourself, we raised this ungrateful wolf with our own hands."
After saying that, Li Yinshuang went back to her room angrily.
Xia Yaoyao put her things away first, and when she came out, Xia Jinkuo's face was already dark, and the agreement had been thrown to the ground.
"Yaoyao, why do you have to go? Isn't this just asking for trouble?"
Faced with her father's questioning, Xia Yaoyao felt very uncomfortable, as her original intention was for the good of the Xia family.
Now she is the one looking for trouble. Fortunately, mom knows her good intentions, but dad and brother don't.
Xia Yaoyao bit her lower lip and told the story of her trip to Zhuifeng Island with difficulty.
After hearing everything, Xia Jinguo frowned and said after a long while, "The last name is Huo. Why does this name sound familiar to me?"
Xia Jinkuo couldn't remember where he had heard it, but he felt like he had known it before.
"Forget it, it's better to sign the agreement. From now on, our family will have nothing to do with her. Just think of it as a good deed."
Xia Jinkuo sighed, put on his glasses again and unfolded the newspaper.
Xia Jinkuo's words attracted Xia Yaoyao's attention.
Xia Mi definitely doesn’t know the purpose of the contract, so there is only one possibility, that this contract was proposed by Huo Jingchen or the Huo family.
Then the Huo family is definitely not from the countryside, but should be from the city.
Xia Yaoyao's mind was in a state of confusion. She walked over, picked up the agreement on the ground and put it away.
If she were to start over again in this life, she would never make her path as difficult as in her previous life.
"Dad, when we just came back, I saw someone selling bean sprouts at the door, and the business was not good..."
"Shut up, Yaoyao, don't say that again. No one knows where the future is headed. You'd better keep those three words to yourself."
Xia Jinkuo stopped Xia Yaoyao almost reflexively.
She frowned and wanted to tell Xia Jinkuo that she understood the situation and that it would only get better!
Unfortunately, she couldn't. Now these three words were taboo in the Xia family. They couldn't mention their previous life, let alone doing business.
Now, Xia Jinkuo couldn't even concentrate on reading the newspaper. He put it on the table in annoyance, got up and went back to his room.
There were mixed emotions in Xia Yaoyao's eyes.
