Chapter 101 "I'll Advance Again"
Song Xi resisted his hand and held it tightly in her arms.
"Zhang Henian!" She called out his nickname in a hurry. "Your mission has been advanced to three weeks later. You don't have time today."
"This is a study and discussion, not a formal mission."
"Forget it."
“Not really.”
"Calculate!"
"That's fine. I'll give you another advance."
“…”
Jing Zhuo spoke softly, "I can see that. They were playing tricks on me, mocking me, and slandering me in the game yesterday. I have to prove myself."
Song Xi suddenly...felt a little soft-hearted.
It seems that the incident was caused by her. If I had known this, I would not have said that to him three times.
Now, men have low self-esteem.
This extreme exploration took almost two hours, which was longer than the time it took to complete the task.
Song Xi's face was the reddest, most ashamed, and most crying-ready she had ever been.
When it was finally over, he carried her to the bathroom to take another shower, then wrapped her in a blanket and went to sleep in the guest bedroom.
The master bedroom was too wet and the battlefield was completely ruined.
For a whole week, Song Xi firmly proposed a truce, at least for a week.
You have to take your time to learn and advance, you can't achieve everything in one go.
Otherwise, she still won't be happy and the discussion will be in vain.
Jing Zhuo weighed the pros and cons for a whole night and agreed.
-
A week later, the Dragon Boat Festival holiday arrived.
Song Xi packed two sets of clothes and returned to Sucheng with Jing Zhuo.
Last time, they were a half-decent couple hiding in secret.
This time, they held hands openly.
Outside the airport, Song Shiqian's car was parked steadily. He was wearing a black T-shirt, a sports watch, wide-leg jeans, and black trendy sneakers.
A whole range of trendy male programmer outfits in the tech category.
"I'll take you back to the Song residence first."
Song Shiqian asked them to get in the car, drove the car himself, and started the engine.
Jing Zhuo sat in the back seat, thought for a while, and then shouted out two words stiffly.
"Uncle."
Song Shiqian's eyelids twitched slightly, and he stopped calling me by my name: "Mr. Jing, we are of similar age, and we have our own opinions. You should just call me by my name."
"This... is too much to bear."
Jing Zhuo thought for a moment and said, "Alright, thank you for your help."
He could understand the thoughts between men, if Zhang Hening brought a man of the same age as him and called him "big brother".
He couldn't stand it either.
Along the way, Song Shiqian said to Song Xi:
"Last time, after your grandma went back, she called a meeting with the whole family and cried several times. She's still a little angry with you. She's bound to cry with you when you go back. You can just apologize and give them a way out."
"Of course, my uncle doesn't recommend you give it."
"Because you're not wrong."
Song Xi was stunned. It was the first time he heard him say such tough words.
Because she didn't see Song Shiqian often.
We have rarely seen each other since we were young.
He started boarding school in elementary school and lived in school all year round. He started his own business in college and obtained tens of millions of dollars in investment just as a student. He became very popular in Suzhou's technology circle.
Only then did his family members come to him and ask him to come home more often.
In Song Xi's impression, Song Shiqian has always been gentle, polite, smiling and courteous.
Have a good temper towards everyone.
"I understand. I'll take care of it." Song Xi said silently.
The car soon stopped outside the Song residence.
As soon as she entered the living room, she felt a depressing atmosphere. Old Mrs. Song was sitting in the main seat, chatting with her aunt next to her. When she saw her come back, she couldn't help but turn her head away and began to wipe her tears.
The aunt coaxed the old lady in a low voice, her eyes a little moist.
The uncle sitting next to him also had a heavy expression on his face.
My second uncle and second aunt behind me were also sighing.
This is the Song family's usual atmosphere, especially for Song Xi.
Song Xi brought Jing Zhuo into the hall. For a moment, it seemed as if all the blood vessels and pores in his body were blocked.
Like cotton.
Stuffy, depressed, and breathless.
It was like having heavy bags of cement on my back, bag after bag.
"Grandma, uncle, aunt, second uncle, second aunt..."
Song Xi straightened his back and cried out.
After hearing this call, Old Mrs. Song lowered her head and cried again.
Second Aunt took over her words: "Xiao Xi, you are really a bit rebellious. You didn't tell your family anything and just got married with someone casually."
"Whose child dares to do this?"
"When your parents died, they burned in that car. In the end, they were all carbonized. Not a single intact body was left. You were only five years old at the time. Everyone raised you..."
"Where are you putting everyone's efforts and worries?"
Song Xi lowered his eyes, his fingers shaking uncontrollably.
Every time I hear these words, I tremble.
Jing Zhuo frowned slightly, raised his hand and held her shoulders tightly. Just as he was about to speak, Song Xi reached out and held him back.
"I came back today to introduce my husband to everyone, share my new marriage, and express my joy."
"I don't want him to solve some problems for me when I bring him back for the first time. I want to solve them myself and handle them completely before I can stand with him."
"My dear elders, I absolutely must have this marriage and this person. Even your moral blackmail is useless."
The whole family seemed to have not expected this.
Her attitude has become so hard.
The usually gentle aunt also frowned and turned to look at Song Xi.
"How can you talk like that, your parents..."
"When my parents died." Song Xi interrupted her. For the first time, she uttered these words that were so deadly and cut through flesh and blood.
"When they died, they were stuck in the car and couldn't get out. They burned alive into two pieces of charcoal. There was no complete body left. It was my eldest uncle, eldest aunt, second uncle, second aunt, uncle, aunt, and grandmother who raised me when I was five years old."
"I will be obedient, sensible, and follow your orders."
"Otherwise, I won't be obedient and have no conscience. You won't be able to explain to my parents in heaven."
"You are all doing this for my own good. Your kindness in raising me is greater than heaven."
Song Xi raised his eyes and looked at each of them calmly.
"The above is the principle I have followed over the years."
"But now, I don't want to obey anymore. The following is the life I want to live from now on."
Song Xi spoke calmly, little by little:
"My elders, I am an adult now. Before the age of 24, people's thinking is immature, and their values are not yet fully formed. They don't know what is right and what is wrong, who they are, or what they want."
"After these 19 years, I grew up and analyzed the events I had experienced from an adult's perspective, and I realized that this was the case and that was the case."
"Over the years, it seems like you've never truly, wholeheartedly, or honestly loved me."
"Love is about lifting, supporting, caring, and a firm choice and preference. It's not about deprivation, control, or blaming, and it's not about scaring me that no one will want me if I don't obey."
Song Xi's throat moved, and his voice was soft and clear.
"Now, I seem to know what love is."
She took Jing Zhuo's hand, interlocked their fingers, and looked at everyone.
"This is my husband, Jing Zhuo."
"Today, I'll bring the elders to meet them."
The whole family was stunned by these words and even speechless.
When did this little girl Song Xi become so eloquent?
"You've said so much, don't you feel any remorse at all?" Old Madam Song finally stood up, her eyes clouded with tears as she accused, "You won't even apologize? The elders won't do anything to you, and you won't even say a soft word. You won't even back down when you're given a way out."
"I won't apologize."
Song Xi said, "I'm not wrong."
"I won't apologize, I won't say soft words, and I don't want to back down. I have no guilt. You are the ones who should be guilty."
"My parents' property is gone, their jewelry is gone, their house is gone, and you've divided up my family's money. You should have raised me on my behalf, respected my choices, and supported my life, instead of forcing me to marry a stranger I've never met and continue to extract money from me."
"Grandma, uncle, aunt, second uncle, second aunt...and all my cousins."
"I repeat, I am not wrong."
