After the banquet ended, Meng Zichuan brought Xia Qingyi for a stroll on the streets!
This was the request of both parents.
The reason was to let them get to know each other first.
However, Meng Zichuan knew that it was mainly to give them space to divide the benefits.
If the Xia family wanted to maintain their position as one of the four great families in Jianghai City, they would need the support of the Meng family. However, they would also need to pay a sufficient price!
Meng Zichuan and Xia Qingyi's engagement had already been decided. It would be after Meng Zichuan's college entrance examination.
It was already March. Spring was over and summer had yet to arrive.
The temperature was neither hot nor cold, just right for a walk.
"How did you know that I have a fiancé?”
Before Meng Zichuan could speak, Xia Qingyi spoke first,
Meng Zichuan looked at his fiancée with satisfaction.
It was just like what Cao Zhi had written in his Ode to the Luo God.
She was as graceful as a swan and as graceful as a swimming dragon. The autumn chrysanthemums shine brightly, and the spring pines flourish.
The length of the hair is fine and the length of the hair is short.
The shoulders are as if cut, and the waist is as white as usual.
The neck is long and beautiful, the white and pure are exposed, the fragrance is not added, and the lead is not resisted.
Her hair was in a bun, her eyebrows were straight, her red lips were bright, and her white teeth were bright.
Bright eyes, good gaze, dimples assist the emperor, beautiful posture, quiet body leisure.
Moreover, it was said that Xia Qingyi was a top student.
"Are you confused? Or are you indignant?"
Meng Zichuan said with a smile as they walked side by side.
"What do you mean?"
Xia Qingyi frowned and asked.
"Are you asking me who my mole in the Xia family is, or are you not satisfied with the arrangements the Xia family has made for you?”
Meng Zichuan was getting closer and closer to her. They were almost touching.
Xia Qingyi was not used to it and moved a small step to the side.
"So what if I'm not satisfied? Didn't the disciples of the big families have no choice?”
Xia Qingyi was a little melancholic, and her tone was dejected.
"You can't say that. There's nothing in this world that you deserve!”
"You can see this as a transaction. The family has given you a wealth that others will never be able to enjoy in their entire lives. In return, you can only obey their orders!”
"Unless you can bring a greater return to the family, they naturally won't say anything about you!”
Meng Zichuan said slowly.
Xia Qingyi didn't expect this rich playboy to have such thoughts. She couldn't help but look at him in surprise.
He was also pushed out by the family to be a tool to strengthen the family, but he was so open-minded!
"If I could, I'd rather not have the glory and wealth they gave me!”
Xia Qingyi was like an otherworldly fairy, and every frown and smile of hers was flirtatious!
Meng Zichuan shook his head and did not comment on her words.
He reached out his hand and pulled her forcefully.
Xia Qingyi was a little unhappy. After she couldn't break free, she gave up!
After all, he was her fiancé, so she had no reason to resist.
Meng Zichuan pulled her into the car.
"Which girlfriend's car is this?”
Sitting in this car that was obviously not a boy, Xia Qingyi touched the seat cushion and said softly.
This was very awkward!
Meng Zichuan felt a little guilty!
Using Tong Youwei's car to pull his fiancée, he had to admit that he was a bit of a scumbag.
However, when he saw Xia Qingyi's expression, he was a little puzzled.
Because Xia Qingyi was too calm, so calm that it was as if nothing had happened.
Xia Qingyi smiled when she did not get an answer from Meng Zichuan.
There was no need to put these things on the table.
Who didn't know?
Being born in such a big family, she had seen this scene too many times.
From her father's lovers to her brother Xia Jie dating several girlfriends at the same time.
This kind of thing was already very difficult to arouse her reaction.
Because of the guilt in his heart, Meng Zichuan did not say anything along the way. Xia Qingyi was happy to be quiet.
The two of them spent half an hour in this strange atmosphere.
The car stopped in Jianghai City's famous urban village.
A group of people gathered around and pointed at him.
After all, it was really surprising for such a luxury car to appear here!
Meng Zichuan opened the car door. Xia Qingyi followed beside him and was pulled into the car.
The scene in the urban village was a stark contrast to the prosperity of Jianghai City.
"Look!"
Xia Qingyi followed Meng Zichuan's finger and looked over. A little girl about five or six years old was washing her clothes in a large basin.
At the same time, Meng Zichuan's voice rang in Xia Qingyi's ears.
"When we were sitting in the lobby learning the piano, some people didn't even know what the piano was!”
"While we were busy learning all kinds of knowledge, some people had no choice but to drop out of school and work because their families didn't have money!”
Meng Zichuan's eyes were filled with reminiscence. He thought of himself in his previous life and a friend of his in his previous life!
"I know a girl who dropped out of junior high school after only one year. Do you know why?”
Meng Zichuan looked at Xia Qingyi and asked.
Xia Qingyi looked at Meng Zichuan, who seemed to have changed into a completely different person, and was a little stunned.
He no longer had the fearless spirit from before. His body began to be filled with vicissitudes, and his perfectly proportioned body seemed a little depressed at this moment!
Meng Zichuan continued to mutter to himself,""She still has a younger brother. Her family doesn't have the money to support her younger brother's education. In the end, they decided to let her get married and use her betrothal gift to support her younger brother's education!”
"You say you're getting married, but in fact, you're selling your child!”
"Is this the kind of life you like?”
Meng Zichuan looked at Xia Qingyi from the corner of his eyes and continued,""Do you think Xia Qingyi is still Xia Qingyi after leaving the Xia family?”
Xia Qingyi sighed softly. Her eyes were lost as she muttered.
"On the path of fate, who can say happiness?”
Meng Zichuan laughed. His smile was a little mocking and disdainful!
Xia Qingyi looked at him and asked in confusion.
"Isn't that the case?"
Meng Zichuan took out his limited edition Zippo lighter and a piece of paper.
Then, he lit the paper!
The tissue burned quickly when it came into contact with the fire.
"The incompetent compromise with fate, only the strong control fate!”
Meng Zichuan reached out his hand and clenched the one-fifth of the tissue that was burnt to ashes tightly!
The flame was extinguished in his palm!
Meng Zichuan used his other hand to hold Xia Qingyi's hand. Then, he opened his palm and placed the remaining tissue in her hand.
"This is your destiny. Take it well!”
Meng Zichuan looked at Xia Qingyi with sincerity in his eyes.
Xia Qingyi gently held the tissue in her hand tightly, placed it in front of her chest, and closed her eyes!
Meng Zichuan pulled her into his arms.
The two of them hugged each other in the urban village.
(That girl is the author's classmate. It's true.)
