Chapter 102 "Keep your voice down, don't scare her"
The hall fell into deathly silence.
Uncle Song, who was standing by, was so sullen that he stood up and roared angrily.
"Song Xi! How dare you talk to your elders like that! Are you being lawless? Are you planning a rebellion?!"
Song Xi's heart trembled and suffocated as usual. The next second, her wrist tightened and she was pulled behind Jing Zhuo.
The man's tall body stood in front of her in a protective posture.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't scare her."
Jing Zhuo was very frugal with his words, but his words carried a subtle, chilling warning.
Uncle Song: "..."
Old Mrs. Song: “…”
Great aunt: “…”
The living room was completely silent.
No one dared to say another word.
The last time Old Lady Song came back crying, she and the whole family checked Jingzhuo's strength. As a century-old family with generations of experience, the gap between them and the upstarts in Sucheng is not a little bit.
He didn't even need to make a move; the masts and oars were reduced to ashes while he was chatting and laughing.
With just one word from him, the Song family could return from their current wealthy life to the farming era.
Behind him, Song Xi held the man's hand and tried to save his face.
"Now that I've said all, you can cry as much as you want, but my husband can't stand this injustice. I'll take him away first, and then you can cry."
As she spoke, she grabbed Jing Zhuo's big hand and took him away from the battlefield.
Seeing that the person was about to reach the door, Old Mrs. Song was so scared that she dared not cry anymore. Uncle Song quickly winked and Aunt Song hurried to chase the person back.
"Xier, come back."
"My family is just worried about you. There's no reason to kick you out."
She took Song Xi's arm and smiled, "We're all family, there's no such thing as overnight grudges. Now that you're back, of course you have to stay at home, and the same goes for Mr. Jing. Your grandma may be unforgiving, but she actually asked the nanny to clean up the room."
The Song family naturally made some considerations.
Since Song Xi has already received the certificate and his attitude is firm, nothing can be done to change the situation.
That was something we could only accept. Moreover, the Baihe Group was very large and would be of great benefit to the Song family.
Everyone just wanted to act out a sad drama and use guilt to control Song Xi.
Now it seems that even if one plan fails, we can't let the person go.
At this time, Song Shiqian, who had watched the entire show, came out to smooth things over.
"Xiao Xi, take Mr. Jing to stay here."
His eyebrows were calm and he smiled faintly: "It's better for the family to talk it out. Xiaoxi has been feeling depressed these years, and everyone feels sorry for you."
"Now that you're married, your family certainly wants you to live a good life."
"Dowry, gifts, real estate, and jewelry will all be prepared for you in accordance with the highest standards of Sucheng, right, big brother and second brother?"
Both families looked unhappy.
But since Song Shiqian had said this, they could only nod.
"Yes, of course you want to have a grand wedding, and not lose the traditional etiquette."
Anyway, Jingzhuo is rich, so the betrothal gift will definitely not be small, and the two families can split it when the time comes.
As a result, Song Shiqian blocked it with the next sentence.
"Su Cheng, loving parents won't accept this betrothal gift. President Wang Jing, please give the betrothal gift list to Xiaoxi when the time comes, as a guarantee for her future. Also, Xiaoxi, the jewelry, real estate, and insurance funds your parents left behind will be available for you when you turn 24. Consider these your parents' dowry for you, and they'll be packed up for you to take away on your wedding day."
Song Shiqian concluded his speech: "Your family all loves you. As long as you are doing well, the whole family will be relieved."
Everyone: “…”
That's not necessarily the case.
When did Song Shiqian and Song Xi become so close? How come he spilled all the beans about her parents?
So all these years... were wasted.
Song Xi stopped immediately, looked at his uncle, and stopped with Jing Zhuo.
"I didn't expect that my uncle, aunt, second uncle, second aunt, and grandmother would be so kind to me. They actually prepared so much dowry. I'm sorry I hurt you just now. I'll bring my husband to live here now. Let's discuss an auspicious date together."
The whole family: "..."
The Song family is not at peace tonight.
Because of Song Xi's "dowry", several people had undercurrents of thoughts.
Song Xi pretended not to know. After dinner, he took Jing Zhuo upstairs to rest as if nothing had happened.
This time, the nanny cleaned out a large south-facing guest room, the same room Jing Zhuo stayed in last time.
It should be bigger and more spacious.
The bedding was replaced with new ones.
There are also two new bathrobes.
It seems that the Song family has accepted Jing Zhuo very early on, but they are just being polite.
She didn't want to live here originally, but thinking of the jewelry and property left by her parents, she had to get it in a peaceful manner.
Part of it is dignity, and part of it is longing.
She knew that her parents had left behind a lot of cash, and there was no possibility of retaining that part of the cash, so it was distributed to several families.
All that is left now are some jewelry, a house, and the education fund that her parents saved for her every month when she was eight months old.
Song Xi vaguely remembered that her mother hugged her and said that she would save money for her for many years, and when she was 24 years old, the year she might get married, she would take it out and give it to her.
It became the confidence and cornerstone of her life.
But the money was only kept for five years before being sealed.
But no one can take it out except Song Xi himself.
Song Xi lowered her eyes and buried herself in the water in the bathroom.
When she came out, Jing Zhuo also went in to take a shower. When Song Xi was drying her hair, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped and the man came out wrapped in a brand new bathrobe.
Her hair was still a little messy, and Jing Zhuo stood naturally beside the bed and used his hands to help her straighten her long hair.
Song Xi sat on the edge of the bed, and could only see his loose V-neck bathrobe. As he moved, his chest and abdominal muscles were faintly visible.
She watched and watched.
Her head hit his abdomen with a 'bang', her face rubbed against the strong abdominal muscles under the bathrobe, and she put her arms around his waist.
"I'm sorry." Song Xi said sullenly, "I've wronged you to stay at the Song residence again today."
Jing Zhuo: "No grievance, I'll be wherever you are."
Song Xi was feeling a little depressed, but also seemed to have realized something.
"Was I indecisive, indecisive, saintly, and a coward before?"
She reflected on her life over the past 20 years: "I didn't dare talk about my marriage, I didn't dare admit I had a husband, I didn't dare resist, I didn't dare do anything."
Jing Zhuo squatted down, raised his handsome face that had just taken a shower, and looked at her seriously.
“People don’t awaken instantly. They awaken after suffering countless losses and hardships, and gradually seek the truth in despair and confusion, understand the truth, and make the choice they want most.”
"You did a great job and were very brave. You were able to carry heavy footage for eight hours and resist overwhelming mental pressure in desperate situations. This is not weakness, but continuous growth."
"Baby," he commented seriously, "You're a hero."
