He returned to his room and turned on his computer to surf the internet. He had not contacted his best friends for a long time and wondered how they were doing.
Just as the computer was turned on, the phone rang. Who was so punctual?
Looking at the name on it, Xie Fei ~
She picked up the call." Fei, why are you so free to call me? Aren't you accompanying your dear?”She thought about Xie Fei's current expression.
"I'll remember that. I won't thank you anymore.”
"That's a small matter. You didn't take the initiative to call me today to talk about this, did you?"”To me, these are trivial matters, but to Yu Fei, they are very important.
Xie Fei stuttered," Uh…this is indeed not for this.”
"Since it's not, then let's talk about serious matters. We can catch up anytime.”
Xie Fei had no choice but to say," You can get to the point, but you have to be mentally prepared.”This gave me a bad feeling. If it wasn't something big, he rarely took the initiative to contact me. After all, he had tried his best to make up for the five years of emptiness.
I was waiting for his next words.
She seemed to be considering whether she should say it or not. Then, she tactfully said,"Your parents called the Xie family."
The bad premonition became more and more obvious. He said coldly,"Get to the point."
Perhaps it was because of my change that Xie Fei was a little stunned. He quickly said," Your parents contacted the Xie family and said that they wanted to increase the betrothal fee. Liu told me not to tell you.”
Wasn't this asking for money in disguise? Or blackmail in disguise? Or was it a threat?
"How much was the betrothal money given to them last time? And what happened this time, he had to be detailed.”I didn't know if my voice still had any warmth, but the hole in my heart was constantly expanding, filled with anger and disappointment.
She didn't know how she heard what Fei said, but she felt a chill in her heart. Her left fist was clenched to prove her anger.
The angrier he got, the calmer he became. Many things slowly became clear.
Am I being too tolerant? Shuu's words echoed in my ears,"You're looking forward to them. After all these years, what are you still looking forward to?" Don't you know them well enough?
Yeah, don't I know enough?
Did I give you too little?
As for selling his daughter?
How did he do these things?
Was this what parents should do? What could be done?
He laughed at himself…
The sky outside the window was white, and the light made the figure in the room very long.
Unknowingly, he had already stood there for a whole night. He had to solve the things that he had not solved in the past and face the things that he had not faced.
She went to the bathroom to wash her face and looked up at herself in the mirror. Was this her past self? A cold face without a smile and a pair of cold eyes. This was the version of himself today after yesterday.
Hiding the coldness in his eyes, he went downstairs to greet Moon and walked to the dining table.
She felt the moon's sharp eyes, but she was puzzled.”
" The atmosphere around you is a little different," he said calmly.
Yi Yue had noticed that the air around her had been a little cold since she came downstairs. It was a little different from yesterday. Yi Yue was surprised. What happened to her when she didn't go out last night?
He still said lazily,"Send me to a place later."”
For Yue, who was just following orders, it was easier and easier to tell her the destination directly.
The sensitive Yue must have sensed something. She didn't say a word until she got into the car and told him the address.
It was different from the last time they came here. This place now belonged to the two of them.
Moon didn't leave. She followed behind me and came to the door where they lived.
He knocked on the door without stopping. His mother opened the door.
" Xiao Fan, you're here. Come in, come in. You haven't come to see us for a long time." I admired her for being able to see me as usual.
Xiao Xiao replied," Yes, I haven't come to see you for a long time."
"This is Xiaoyue, my good friend. She dropped me off.”He pulled Moon and said.
"Alright, alright, come in."
"Is dad here?" I checked. He should be here today.
"Yes, sit down for a while. I'll call him.”He gestured for Yue to sit down and looked around. It seemed like she was living a comfortable life.
The sound of footsteps could be heard. As expected, he was at home.
"Xiao Fan, you're here. Have you been busy with work recently?”This was indeed a topic that most families would care about, but they cared about it differently.
" I'm free today, so I'm here to send you some money." They should be happy to hear this.
He smiled and said,"Don't go through so much trouble if you're busy. Just punch in."”
No matter how you looked at it, this conversation sounded like a customer. Yes, I am a customer, a customer who gives money away.
She asked casually,"Have you been in contact with the Xie family recently?" How about thanking Dad and Mom?"
This time, he smiled even more happily." Yes, they're in contact. They're fine." Of course, it was better than the bank, wasn't it?
"Oh, right, Dad, didn't I ask how much betrothal money you and the Xie family received last time? You haven't told me yet.
When Yue, who was beside him, heard the word betrothal money, a trace of strangeness flashed past her eyes, but she instantly returned to normal.
He only heard his father say,"I only want 40% of Xie Yan's company's shares." Did he know how much Xie Yan's company's shares were worth?
I only heard that he asked the Xie family for 500,000 yuan this time. He said that after I left, they were lonely and wanted to adopt a child.
The fire in my heart was rising. It was already indescribable how angry I was.
She still asked expressionlessly," Then why did you ask them for money this time?”Even I could feel the coldness in his tone.
His mother, who had been silent all this while, said,"Last time, they only gave us 40%. We originally wanted half. Who knew that Xie Yan's father said that we would only get money if the company was controlled by them.”
"What I'm asking is, why do you still want money this time?”He asked without a trace of warmth.
You took half of their company, but they never treated me as an outsider. This reminds me of the days when I lived in the Xie family, negotiating with Old Xie, Xie Fei, and that Liu who made all kinds of breakfast every day.
These are like ants gnawing at me, making me ashamed, making me feel ashamed.
You took half of their family, but they didn't let me know. You stretched out your hand to ask for money again, but Liu didn't let anyone tell me. If Xie Fei wasn't afraid that you would make a mess out of it, I would still be in the dark.
"The shares aren't cash. We only asked them for 500,000 yuan, and they called to tell you.”Only 500,000? You take the money that others have worked so hard for, and you still have the right to complain that it's not enough?
