Chapter 76 Turn off the lights small medium large Previous chapter: Chapter 75Next chapter: Chapter 77 Sangzhai is located in the mid-level villa area of Linshi, but Sangyao's family does not live in the old house. They only come back together during the holidays to have a meal with the still-living old man.

Sang Yao had briefly gotten along with the original owner's family before. Judging from the original owner's memory, this family was actually pretty good. The Sang family was very peaceful compared to other families. No matter what they thought in their hearts, at least it made Sang Yao feel comfortable in terms of face.

After dinner, both Mrs. Sang and Mr. Sang declined the suggestion of staying overnight, and the family of three got in the car and went directly back to their small villa.

Mrs. Sang's mental state seems to be much better, which makes Sang Yao a lot more optimistic. Since she and Xiao Jingqiao canceled their engagement, she no longer takes the original work to heart, but she still dare not worry about Mrs. Sang's physical condition. Although she couldn't understand some medical terms, she still read the doctor's report carefully from beginning to end. She felt a little relieved after making sure that everything was developing in a good direction.

On the first night, Mrs. Sang slept with Sang Yao. Mother and daughter sat on the sofa and opened a bottle of wine with great interest.

Mrs. Sang looked at her daughter with a smile, raised her glass, and said softly: "Congratulations to my daughter for regaining her freedom as a single person."

"Thank you, mom." Sang Yao drank all the wine in the glass without hesitation.

A friend of the original owner asked her if she would regret breaking off her engagement with Xiao Jingqiao. She thought she regretted not canceling the engagement sooner.

But she also understood that without Mrs. Sang's full support, it would definitely not be easy for her to cancel the engagement. Everyone knows that the Xiao family is rich and powerful, and whether she lives happily or not is not a consideration of those in the Sang family. In other words, most people in this circle live such a married life, there is nothing strange about it. Yes, the Sang family was able to give up such huge interests and stand on her side. If Mrs. Sang hadn't been involved in the process, it would definitely not have been possible.

During this period of time, she was also thinking about how Mrs. Sang persuaded and negotiated? In several video chats with Mrs. Sang, she could vaguely feel that Mrs. Xiao seemed to be very interested in the affairs between her and Xiao Chengxiu, so she made a bold guess that Mrs. Sang knew that Xiao Chengxiu was interested in her. Thoughts.

So, from what channel did you know? Where is Mrs. Xiao? It's absolutely impossible. Mrs. Xiao doesn't know anything now. After thinking about it, she can only observe it herself, or Xiao Chengxiu said it to her personally.

In this way, everything is explained clearly. Mrs. Sang should have told the elders of the Sang family about Xiao Chengxiu's thoughts. There is no need to weigh them. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the benefits that can be obtained by marrying Xiao Jingqiao or marrying Xiao Chengxiu. It is completely incomparable.

Now that he knew that Mrs. Sang knew about it, there was no need for Sang Yao to hide it from her and truthfully tell her current situation to this mother who loved her daughter.

After hearing this, Mrs. Sang helped Sang Yao analyze it like a best friend, "Pei Chi and Cheng Xiu are both outstanding men. Mom is very happy that you can have such an outstanding suitor. Pei Chi's parents are no longer here." , I think he will cherish and care for his family more than ordinary people, not to mention Chengxiu. I watched this child grow up, and his character and ability are first-class. No matter who you are with, my mother believes that you will

They live very comfortably. Their personal conditions are very good. The key is to see who you like, Yaoyao, life is actually very long. I think it will be more interesting to be with the person you like, what do you think? , But Xiao Chengxiu..." Sang Yao paused, "He is Xiao Jingqiao's brother."

She actually didn't feel much about this matter, she was just surprised. Don't these rich families care about face. ? The fact that her brother is with her brother's ex-fiancée would be talked about even in an ordinary family, let alone a wealthy family. Why does she think that the Sang family and Mrs. Sang are very calm about Yazi?

Mrs. Sang was really calm, as if this matter was not a big deal, "Yao Yao, the rumors and rumors you can hear now have all been filtered through a sieve, and this sieve is called power. People in this circle are very You are smart and know what to say and what not to say. To give you an example, if one day you and Cheng Xiu are together, everyone will have selective amnesia and forget the relationship between you and Jing Qiao. As for those who have no brains. They can't come to you, and their words can't reach your ears, so don't worry about them."

Sang Yao was thoughtful after hearing the words.

***

The next day was New Year's Eve. After the New Year's Eve dinner, Sang Yao was bored and finally accidentally clicked on the video of the cat and dog monitor.

In the video, Xiao Chengxiu was sitting on the sofa at work, curled up shyly at his feet.

She thought that Xiao Chengxiu probably didn't know that she was looking at him.

This person is really dedicated, and he actually worked all night on New Year's Eve. She felt that she was bored too. She actually watched him working like this for more than half an hour. Just when she was about to exit the video, she found that he suddenly stood up and bent over. The video was of average clarity. When he was halfway busy, she realized that it was He pooped shyly, and he was handling it without any regrets.

Sang Yao suddenly realized. No wonder she said something was wrong. In the living room, the sofa and coffee table were originally covered with thick wool carpets, but now they are gone. They look bare. It seems that she is definitely embarrassed. I pooped here once.

Xiashian has been with her for less than a week, and the dog is still young. She really wants to train him to go to the bathroom or go for a walk before pooping. Unfortunately, Xiashian is a willful dog, and he can poop whenever he wants. What location.

It was really difficult for Xiao Chengxiu.

Sang Yao opened the WeChat interface, thought for a moment, and transferred 500 yuan to Xiao Chengxiu with the postscript "remuneration for the shit shoveler."

Xiao Chengxiu accepted the transfer happily: "I think I should receive the money."

Sang Yao was amused by him, "Calculate where it made mistakes that dogs shouldn't make, and how much they are worth. I'll transfer the money to you, and I'll also pay you the mental compensation."

Xiao Chengxiu was not polite at all: "Okay, I'll give you the list tomorrow."

Sang Yao cursed, a businessman is a businessman.

She is now considered a descendant of a businessman, so she sent a message very "smartly": "I won't give you the original price. My wool blanket is not brand new. It is 90% new at most. It is second-hand." I'll give you the price."

Xiao Chengxiu: "Well, you're right. If it's 90% new, it's 20% off the original price. Do you think it's acceptable?"

Sang Yao didn't even know that she was curled up on the sofa at this moment. , with a smile on her face, she replied with two words, "Humph."

Xiao Chengxiu: "Humph, what does it mean?"

Sang Yao didn't know how to reply, because she realized that she seemed, maybe , as if he was acting coquettishly with Xiao Chengxiu. Deadly.

Xiao Chengxiu sent another message: "My dear, can you be more patient? Even if you are not satisfied with the price, don't get sulky. The price is negotiable."

"I'm not sulking, I'm ready to sleep." Sang Yao thought for a while and then He replied, "We will discuss the price tomorrow when your list comes."

Xiao Chengxiu: "Okay, have a good sleep."

***

It is a coincidence that this year, the first day of the new year is Valentine's Day.

In one morning, Sang Yao received two bouquets of flowers, one of which was sent by Pei Chi. He was currently away from home, spending the New Year with his grandparents. Sang Yao was still wondering how he knew her address. After thinking about it, many things in this circle can be found out by just asking. It is not unbelievable that Pei Chi knows her home address. The other bouquet was sent anonymously, and the flower delivery guy refused to disclose the order. Who is the flower man?

Sang Yao thinks this is not difficult to guess. There are only two people who are really pursuing her recently, one is Pei Chi, and the other is Xiao Chengxiu. I guess this flower was sent by Xiao Chengxiu, and anonymity seems like his style. .

She originally wanted to ask Xiao Chengxiu, but thinking that since the other party chose to remain anonymous, she was probably embarrassed, so she gave up her thoughts and placed Pei Chi's bouquet of flowers in the living room, and carried the other bouquet back to the bedroom. If you have nothing to do this afternoon, you can learn to arrange flowers.

Xiao Chengxiu drove to the city early in the morning before it was completely bright. When he got off the highway, it was exactly eleven o'clock.

Whether it is Beijing or Linshi, during the Chinese New Year, the city's population has shrunk a lot, and it is far less lively than usual. The drive was smooth. When passing through the urban area, many shops were closed. He was I searched on the navigation and found a flower shop that is still open. Today is Valentine's Day, which is when flower shops make money, so even if it is the first day of the Lunar New Year, many shops are open.

When he came to the flower shop that was open, many people came to buy roses. Xiao Chengxiu stood outside the shop and carefully looked at the flowers sold in the shop, but still did not buy them.

Frankly speaking, he was really embarrassed.

He had never bought flowers, let alone sent roses to anyone. After imagining the scene of him holding a bouquet of flowers and giving it to Sang Yao, he decided to turn around and leave.

He probably is no longer young at heart. It seems that he really can't do this kind of thing that others think is very romantic.

Xiao Chengxiu attracts much attention and turns heads in the crowd, both in terms of temperament and appearance. The flower shop lady has noticed him a long time ago and sees that he has been hesitating. The price of roses has doubled several times on Valentine's Day. But she believes that this super-A male god is definitely not because of the price! It's not good to judge people by their appearance, but she really thinks this handsome guy must be rich.

Why not buy flowers?

When Xiao Chengxiu turned around and was about to leave, he heard someone calling him.

He turned around and saw that the lady from the flower shop was holding a rose in her hand and said to him with a smile: "Today is Valentine's Day and there is an event. Sir, I want to give you a rose. You can give it to your girlfriend."

Xiao Cheng Xiu was stunned for a moment, and with the enthusiasm of the florist lady, he took the rose wrapped in newspaper and thanked him gently and politely, "Thank you."

He took the flower and walked towards the parking lot.

Another boy who came to buy flowers immediately said excitedly: "Miss, are you really sending roses today? Give them to me quickly!"

The flower shop lady turned around, with the smile on her face gone, and said to the boy: "Ten. Five yuan a piece, thank you."

The boy was in disbelief, "Didn't you just give it to that person?"

The flower shop lady said in a very matter-of-fact tone: "What did you use to scan his face? WeChat or Alipay?

" I think that the man just now looked mature and steady, but he might be very shy at heart. If his girlfriend didn't receive a rose today, she would be a little disappointed!

The man who sells roses is the God of Cupid today.

Chapter 77 Turn off the lights small medium large Previous chapter: Chapter 76Next chapter: Chapter 78 Xiao Chengxiu's visit to the Sang family to pay New Year's greetings was not hidden from Mrs. Xiao. Of course, he had a good reason. He happened to be in Linshi for business, so he stopped by to pay New Year's greetings to the Sang family elders. He didn't say it was something, but Mrs. Xiao defaulted to it being business. After hanging up the phone, she sighed with her husband who was reading the newspaper: "It's better that Cheng Xiu is sensible. I drove to Linshi early in the morning and said... This kid is really thoughtful about paying New Year greetings to the elders of the Sang family. He has always been very responsible. This is the first time he goes to the Sang family to pay New Year greetings. He also wants to apologize for Jingqiao. "

"What does this have to do with Jingqiao?" Mr. Xiao said casually.

"The matter between Jingqiao and Yaoyao was originally because we were sorry for the Sang family. How come it has nothing to do with Jingqiao?"

Mr. Xiao smiled and shook his head, "Let me remind you, the matter between Jingqiao and Yaoyao is over. Don't bring it up again. We should all forget it. Don't mention it again. "

"What are you talking about? You have forgotten it?" Mrs. Xiao was very dissatisfied. "Looking at Jingqiao means he has inherited your genes. He is like you and Chengxiu is like me."

"Speaking of Jingqiao," Mr. Xiao closed the newspaper and said to his wife, "I think it will be difficult for him to grow up under our protection." Get up and let him leave home. I took a look and found that we have a project cooperation with a company in South Africa. When the fifteenth day is over, we will make arrangements and let him go there to cancel all the cards in his name. , I will also say hello to him, not give him any privileges, and find someone to keep an eye on him."

Mrs. Xiao was a little surprised, "How can you get used to it when you go to South Africa?"

"He's not going to enjoy life, he's going to work. "This time he is nothing but an ordinary employee," Mr. Xiao said calmly, "Both of us have a common mistake. We are too strict with Chengxiu and too lenient with Jingqiao. He is still young and cannot be ignored. We have become useless."

Mrs. Xiao thought about what her second son had done this year, hesitated and sighed for a while, and could only nod in agreement.

"I won't tell you anymore. I'm going to Nanling Temple to burn incense and ask for a fortune." Mrs. Xiao put on her coat and walked outside, muttering, "Everyone here is single, I have to go and do the math." Calculate their marriage and see what's going on. "

Mr. Xiao smiled and said, "If you are busy every day, what should come will come."

***

Xiao Chengxiu came to Sang's house to pay New Year's greetings. Everyone was surprised. He also received a welcome and warm reception. There were still many people coming to visit the Sang family on New Year's Day. Some families from Linshi came to the Sang family to visit the Sang family. When they saw Xiao Chengxiu there, they were surprised and filled with excitement. The abacus kept ringing. Originally, the dissolution of the engagement between the Sang family and the Xiao family had a certain impact on the Sang family's local businesses and even their stocks. Everyone thought that the Xiao and Sang families would become strangers. Now look at it, even Xiao Chengxiu has been dispatched, which shows that the Xiao family and the Sang family will remain the same as before, at least on the surface.

Seeing the arriving guests and the Sang family's eldest daughter, Xiao Chengxiu was being talked to. Mrs. Sang appeared and said with a gentle smile: "Yao Yao, please accompany Cheng Xiu for a walk. Cheng Xiu, your mother called me today." She said she wanted to eat the pastries from Jinshifang. That store is doing very well, but she has to go there early to buy them, otherwise they will be gone."

Xiao Chengxiu then stood up and said politely to Uncle Sang and Mr. Sang: "Uncle, uncle, I'm leaving now. I'll come back to visit another day."

Sang Yao also wanted to find an excuse to escape, because all the uncles and uncles who came to pay New Year greetings brought their children, which was really noisy and noisy. People cannot live in peace.

"Okay." Uncle Sang was still very reluctant to leave, "You just came here, and I wanted to keep you for dinner, but thinking that you still have something to do at home, I won't keep you, and let Yaoyao accompany you in front of us. It's good to go around the city."

Uncle Sang looked at Sang Yao again, his eyes were soft and satisfied, "Yao Yao, take Chengxiu for a while, and call home if you need anything."

In order to let his daughter go . To get out of the sea of misery as soon as possible, Mrs. Sang promised the elders of the Sang family that Sang Yao would find a better person after Xiao Jingqiao left. This person was Xiao Chengxiu. When everyone was dubious, they agreed to terminate the engagement. First, because of what happened. Secondly, they wanted to take a gamble. Now it seems that they should have won the bet.

"Yes."

A group of people walked Xiao Chengxiu to the door, still a little reluctant to leave.

After getting in the car, Sang Yao noticed a rose on the center console.

Xiao Chengxiu noticed Sang Yao looking at the roses out of the corner of his eye, but she didn't ask him if they were given to her, and he couldn't tell directly.

The atmosphere became temporarily quiet.

Xiao Chengxiu told Uncle Sang that he was in a hurry, but actually he and Sang Yao strolled leisurely on the streets of Linshi. They went to Jinshifang to buy pastries, and then went to the coffee shop for afternoon tea. Sang Yao also saw Xiao Chengxiu. She had no intention of leaving, so she had to arrange a restaurant for dinner in the evening. If he didn't say he was leaving, it would be hard for her to chase him away.

No matter which store is crowded with people on Valentine's Day, the store is also full of festive atmosphere.

Sang Yao thinks it's good if she arranges the meal. At least she doesn't have to worry about eating something strange in the dessert ice cream.

But until the end of dinner, Sang Yao was still a little surprised to see Xiao Chengxiu still empty-handed and unprepared for anything. She could guess that Xiao Chengxiu came here early in the morning, and there was even a rose in the car. In addition to the Valentine's Day activities launched by various stores, it was absolutely impossible to say that Xiao Chengxiu didn't know what holiday today was. However, with Xiao Chengxiu's temperament, he didn't prepare any surprises or gifts even though he knew that today was Valentine's Day. This made Sang Yao a little doubtful.

Of course, she didn't think she had to receive gifts today, nor did she think men had to give gifts on Valentine's Day. She was just confused about this matter.

After coming out of the restaurant, Xiao Chengxiu suggested taking a walk in the nearby park to eat.

Sang Yao went to bed very late yesterday and was woken up early in the morning. She was a little tired now. However, seeing that Xiao Chengxiu was still in high spirits, she could only risk her life to accompany Junzi. Parking in the park was inconvenient, so the two of them went for a walk. In the past, at night in February, the temperature was still very low, but there were many people in the park and it was very lively.

The two were walking when suddenly there was a loud noise in the sky. Sang Yao suddenly looked up and saw fireworks blooming in the night sky.

She likes to watch fireworks very much. I don’t know if they are doing some kind of activity this time. It shows that they have spent a lot of money. The fireworks lasted for almost twenty minutes, and there were very few repetitions. It was so amazing.

She raised her head to look at the fireworks. She didn't know that Xiao Chengxiu was looking at her. Their eyes were equally focused.

When silence returned to the night sky, Sang Yao found that her legs were almost sore from standing, and she couldn't help but sigh to Xiao Chengxiu, "These fireworks are so beautiful. Fortunately, I went out, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see them at home."

Xiao Chengxiu's eyes were full of tears Smiling, she said warmly, "As long as you like it."

"If you like it -" Sang Yao reacted, stopped, and looked at Xiao Chengxiu with some disbelief, "Don't tell me, you arranged this?"

She glared. The look of surprise with rounded eyes made Xiao Chengxiu think it was particularly cute. He also stopped and nodded with a smile, "Well, I was in a hurry and didn't have much time to prepare, but you can just like it."

"It's really your arrangement . ? Why." Sang Yao was really confused.

This was the first time such a thing had happened to her.

So that amazing fireworks show just now was prepared for her?

Xiao Chengxiu looked at her with gentle eyes. In a place that she couldn't notice, he was also in a mood that he didn't know what to do. Although he was in his thirties, he had little experience and was embarrassed to do some actions that others thought were romantic. At this time, he was also uneasy. He knew the gap and generation gap between him and her, and he didn't know how to treat her well. He didn't know how to show her his heart. He was afraid that she wouldn't like it or that she would feel bad about it. He is bored.

He wanted to tell her that not everything he did was always right, nor was he always confident.

"Yes." Xiao Chengxiu nodded and admitted. Under such a gentle and steady appearance, a thin sweat broke out on his back because of embarrassment. "I have never bought flowers or sent flowers, so I am not used to it. But I don't want to because I’m not used to it, so you don’t have any surprises on such a festival. Fireworks are also flowers, right?”

Chapter 78 Turn off the lights small medium large Previous chapter: Chapter 77Next chapter: Chapter 79 They say how bold people are and how productive the land is. But Sang Yao never dared to imagine such a scenario even when she was a girl. Setting off fireworks in Linshi requires the approval of several departments. The nearly 20 minutes of fireworks would cost dozens at the very least and the most conservative estimate. Wan, before she traveled through time, she was pursued by many people. There were many wealthy second-generation suitors, but no one was so generous during the pursuit.

Sang Yao has always felt that in her 22-year-old body, there is a soul of 30 or 40 years old. She has not been hurt emotionally, but she has no expectations or yearning for love. Now, watching this fireworks show and listening to Xiao Chengxiu's understatement when he mentioned it, she found that she felt a little shameful. She suddenly realized that it wasn't that she had no expectations or yearning for love, it was that those people in the past didn't pursue her to the point. To put it simply and crudely, they didn't spend enough money.

No one is willing to admit that his soul and heart are really so vulgar and vain, and Sang Yao is not surprised.

Seeing Sang Yao's silence, Xiao Chengxiu asked tentatively: "Don't you like it?"

"Yes."

Xiao Chengxiu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Sang Yao was remembering something sad. He didn't care about her past with Jingqiao. He is not interested, and he is not disgusted that she may occasionally think of the past. After all, it is her past. He was not involved, so should it be erased?

"Do you still have time now?" Sang Yao raised her head and asked him.

Xiao Chengxiu didn't expect that the topic would change so quickly. He thought she still had something to do, so he nodded, "Yes."

"Then come with me to the mall." Sang Yao pursed her lips and said softly, "I still want to go to the mall." I didn't prepare a gift."

Xiao Chengxiu was startled, "Give it to me?"

Sang Yao said favorably, "You gave it to me, I should give it to you too."

Xiao Chengxiu originally wanted to say no, but saw Sang Yao looking a little stubborn. , and could only nod in agreement.

Unfortunately, after arriving at the mall, Sang Yao discovered that Xiao Chengxiu lacked everything. She also noticed that Xiao Chengxiu usually wore high-end brand clothes, which were not available outside.

She looked around at the men's clothing in the mall and found that the clothes could not match Xiao Chengxiu's aura and were completely unsuitable.

For the first time in her life, she wanted to spend money on a man outside of her family, but found that the money seemed to be unable to be spent...

Seeing that Sang Yao was about to fall into a low ebb over the gift, Xiao Chengxiu then said: "Isn't it today that I You can give me any gift you want?"

Sang Yao has never been deceived by Xiao Chengxiu's gentle and elegant appearance. This person is a businessman at heart. She said cautiously: "Not any gift will do, it depends on the situation."

If it weren't for Xiao Chengxiu today . After giving such a generous fireworks display, she, who has always been extremely stingy with men, would not ask for gifts.

The value of his gift was so great that she felt it would be inappropriate not to show some sign of it.

If Xiao Chengxiu says he wants a girlfriend, what should she do?

What if he says he wants a hug or a kiss?

Xiao Chengxiu didn't know what Sang Yao was thinking about, "Draw me a sketch."

Sang Yao looked at him with confusion.

"I think you can draw sketches. There is a book of your sketches in the living room at home that I accidentally read." Xiao Chengxiu said, "I think your drawings are very good. If you have a chance, draw one for me."

Sang Yao is not there Before time travel, the only talent I had that I could show off was painting.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chengxiu noticed this little thing.

"Okay." Sang Yao thought for a while and then said, "But I rarely draw figures in recent years, so don't have high expectations."

Xiao Chengxiu's eyes were full of smiles, "I just want to see how I paint in your paintings. What does it look like?" After

***

returned home, Sang Yao took a comfortable bath. When she came out of the bathroom, she saw the bouquet of flowers placed on the coffee table.

I was outside almost all day today and had no time to think about anything else. Now that I think about it, it feels strange. In Xiao Chengxiu's words, he had neither bought nor sent flowers. The reason why he prepared the fireworks show was because he wanted to send flowers to him. It can be seen that this anonymous bouquet of flowers was not sent by him, so who could it be? After thinking about it, Sang Yao thought of Xiao Jingqiao. It seemed that Xiao Jingqiao was in love with someone else and was eager to break off the engagement, but his actions during this period could reveal something, that is, he loved her, oh, no, it was There is a feeling of reluctance towards the original owner.

Sang Yao sat on the bed and flipped through the messages on the original owner's phone, and happened to find a Weibo post she posted last year. The picture in the picture was a gift from Xiao Jingqiao. The highlight was that this bouquet of flowers was exactly the same as the one Xiao Jingqiao gave to the original owner last year.

There is no doubt that this flower is really a gift from Xiao Jingqiao.

Why did Xiao Jingqiao send flowers anonymously? What was his intention? Sang Yao was not interested at all. She didn't even bother to waste her brain cells thinking about this meaningless thing. She thought of the cold shoulder she received before the engagement was terminated. After all kinds of verbal attacks, Sang Yao threw the bouquet of flowers into the trash can without any courtesy.

After she broke off the engagement, she blocked all of Xiao Jingqiao's contact information. After doing these things, she felt really refreshed. I only regret not breaking off the engagement earlier.

In fact, at this moment, she had no interest in slapping him in the face. It was unnecessary to even look at this person, so why would she waste her thoughts on him.

Mrs. Sang passed by and saw the flowers in the trash can. She was surprised and thought about it carefully, and then whispered to Sang Yao: "Yao Yao, if you are seriously considering the matter of studying with Cheng Xiu, then you must not do it." If you have any further dealings with Jingqiao, you have to forget what happened before, otherwise it will be unfair to Chengxiu, and it will also put you in an embarrassing situation. In fact, I am most worried about you Aunt Meixuan right now. "

Seeing that Sang Yao didn't say anything, Mrs. Sang added: "You will know when you become a mother. No mother can bear the estrangement between her two sons because of a woman. If one day you and Cheng Xiu are together. If so, I'm afraid that your Aunt

Meixuan will be the biggest obstacle to you two. I'm telling you this just to tell you, if one day comes, don't be afraid, don't be sad, mother is here." Nod.

***

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Mrs. Xiao failed to meet the master who was the most accurate at reading fortunes in Nanling Temple. With her thoughts in mind, early in the morning on the second day of the Lunar New Year, while Mr. Xiao was still sleeping, she I took Sang Yao and Xiao Chengxiu's birthdays and various information to Nanling Temple. However, at eight o'clock in the morning, Nanling Temple was already very busy. Many pilgrims came to offer incense and worship Buddha. Fortunately, Mrs. Xiao was considered a The most generous of these pilgrims, before nine o'clock, she met the Master with a fortune-seeking lot.

Master is kind-hearted and has dealt with Mrs. Xiao on a daily basis. When he saw her, he said, "Are we planning marriage again?"

Mrs. Xiao was a little embarrassed and said, "Well, I can't help it. My son is thirty-one years old this year. I'm worried. ."

She knew that Master was busy and didn't want to waste time. In desperation, she gave the two birthday cards to Master and said, "Master, please help me check the marriage of these two people."

Now she is not only. She was worried about her eldest son, and also worried about Sang Yao. She was really afraid that because of the engagement with her second son, Sang Yao would be discouraged about relationships from now on. Then this would be the fault of her second son and the Xiao family. .

This year she burned a lot of incense and donated a lot of money to the temple. She prayed every day, praying that her eldest son could find the right partner soon, and that Yaoyao could come out of the shadows and meet the right person as soon as possible. If Buddha could hear everyone's thoughts, they might all be annoyed by her talking about it.

Language is an art, and Chinese is broad and profound. The same sentence may have several different meanings.

Mrs. Xiao was asking about the respective marriages of Xiao Chengxiu and Sang Yao.

Master thought it was a marriage between these two people.

At first, Mrs. Xiao felt strange when she saw the master compared to the two birthday numbers, but she didn't ask too much. After all, the master had his own habits. It was best not to disturb him when the master was looking at the lot.

The master looked at it for a long time, nodding and shaking his head, which made Mrs. Xiao feel up and down, like a roller coaster, for fear that the marriage of the two children she cared about would not go well.

After a while, the master said slowly: "These two people have very strange fates."

Mrs. Xiao's heart was in her throat, "Ah, master, what's going on? The fates of these two people are strange." What do you mean?"

The master also sighed, "The fate of the female donor has changed. She was not destined to be destined, but now she is destined to be. Because the change of the female donor's destiny has affected the destiny of the male donor. Look at this again. In short, these two people have been separated for a lifetime, and they are a match made in heaven.

" Mrs. Xiao was surprised, "Master, how is this possible?"

The master then reacted and was a little surprised. Don't you want to calculate the fate of these two people?"

Mrs. Xiao: "No, no."

The master smiled, "Then I will calculate it together. It's good for these two to be together, but the main thing is not to believe too much in fate. It depends on the person."

The master's advice has always been this. Asking for fortune telling is a kind of psychological sustenance. How can a person's life be revealed through his birth date and signature.

Mrs. Xiao came out of Nanling Temple, looked at the pilgrims coming and going, smelled the sandalwood in the temple, and the master's words were still lingering in her ears -

after a lonely life apart, being together is a match made in heaven.

She still didn't come back to her senses, and stood in a daze, holding the signature and birth date in her hand tightly, her eyes blank.

What the hell is going on? ?

Yaoyao and Chengxiu? How is that possible!

The author has something to say: This chapter only allows the master to appear for the development of the plot. In life, everyone should still believe in science and not be superstitious (I think there are many charlatans, and there should be very few real masters).

Today is the third update!

Chapter 79 Turn off the lights small medium large Previous chapter: Chapter 78Next chapter: Chapter 80 Mrs. Xiao is definitely a loyal pilgrim to Nanling Temple. Whenever there are important events in the temple, she is never absent. She is never stingy when it comes to donating money. She has been dealing with the master for many years. Many people in the city's wealthy circles believe in Nanling Temple, and the noble ladies are also very "feudal and superstitious" in private. Mrs. Xiao did not believe in this when she was young, but as she entered middle age, she became more and more convinced. Nanling Temple, she would do the math for any important things at home. This was the first time that she began to question the master's interpretation.

But she was very conflicted in her heart. On the one hand, she felt that it was too absurd. Yaoyao and Cheng Xiu were two people who couldn't even get along. How could they be a match made in heaven? This was too absurd. But on the other hand, the master's words were too absurd. It kept hovering in her ears and penetrated into her heart, making her doubtful.

Mrs. Xiao returned home in a state of confusion. Mr. Xiao had already gone out to drink tea and chat with friends. Xiao Jingqiao was not at home at all. Apart from the housekeeper and his aunt, the only one left in the house was the old lady.

The old lady didn't want to go abroad with her son to celebrate the New Year, so her two sons came back and had a New Year's Eve dinner with her and then left by plane overnight.

The winter sun was warm, and the old lady was lying on the deck chair on the balcony, listening to opera and basking in the sun leisurely.

Mrs. Xiao sat next to her, peeling an apple absentmindedly and almost cutting her finger.

"It's so annoying." Mrs. Xiao handed the peeled apple to the old lady. Only in front of her mother could she express her irritability like a little girl in her fifties, "It's so annoying." "

The old lady looked at her daughter like this and said cheerfully: "What's wrong? The sun is so nice." Mrs.

Xiao hesitated and asked, "Mom, do you think Cheng Xiu and Yaoyao are suitable?"

He looked at her with a strange look, "What's appropriate or inappropriate? Aren't they both together? Of course it's appropriate to be together. What's the question you're asking?"

Come on.

It was the most inappropriate thing to tell the old lady about this matter. Mrs. Xiao sighed again and rationally told her not to take the master's words too seriously. How could two people be together and be a match made in heaven? If they were not together, they would be alone all their lives. But she She couldn't completely ignore it, this was the most upsetting thing. She even had an idea just now, should she go crazy and bring Chengxiu and Yaoyao together?

As soon as the idea came to her mind, she felt that she was being ridiculous.

Not to mention that Chengxiu and Yaoyao have no such thoughts at all. As for Yaoyao's previous engagement with Jingqiao, she is not suitable to be with Chengxiu. What should outsiders say?

But having said that, Yaoyao is really good. She knows both families well, and she has watched her children grow up. If Yaoyao and Jingqiao hadn't had such a relationship before, she wouldn't have to ask for this lottery. She would have done it long ago. She tried to find a way to bring Yaoyao and her eldest son together, but with such a relationship, even if the master said it was a match made in heaven, she could never get over that hurdle.

It's just that once some thoughts or thoughts emerge, they can no longer be suppressed. They will become seeds, sprouting bit by bit until they become towering trees.

When the old lady saw her daughter sighing, she took her hand and said with a kind smile: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. You can't control this. That's how parents are. When the children grow up, the most they can do is watch from the sidelines. "Look, if the children can listen, you can give them suggestions to avoid detours. If the children insist on exploring this road by themselves, then you can only cheer them on."

"I'm annoyed, follow ." Those are two different things," Mrs. Xiao said helplessly.

The old lady smiled and shook her head, "I think it's the same thing."

***

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Sang Yao returned to Beijing. The company went to work on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. She thought about paying New Year's greetings to Mrs. Xiao and the old lady. So I came early.

Sang Yao sensitively noticed that this time when she met Mrs. Xiao, she seemed to have lost a little weight. She couldn't help but asked with concern: "Auntie, what's wrong with you? We haven't seen you for a few days. Why do you feel like you have lost weight? Are you sick?"

Mrs. Xiao really has no appetite these days and can't sleep at night. Fortunately, she has makeup on her, otherwise she would look very haggard.

She looked at Sang Yao with complicated eyes, took her hand and patted her, "I haven't been able to sleep well these days and I have no appetite."

Sang Yao still cared about Mrs. Xiao and said he wanted to take her to see a doctor, but Mrs. Xiao refused. Declined politely, "Maybe it's because there have been a lot of things these days. I've asked the doctor to prescribe medicine and I feel a lot better."

"By the way," Mrs. Xiao thought of something and asked again, "How are you and Pei Chi doing lately? "I heard from Mrs. Pei that Pei Chi likes you and wants to pursue you."

Sang Yao shook her head, "It's still the same, I don't have feelings for him."

Mrs. Xiao blurted out involuntarily: "That's good!"

Sang Yao was surprised. Look at her, "Aunt?"

You must know that Mrs. Xiao really wanted her to get in touch with Pei Chi and have a relationship. What's going on?

Mrs. Xiao was really embarrassed when she realized it, and quickly explained: "I mean, if you don't have feelings for him, you can take your time and take a look. Don't rush this. You are still young. It's not a bad thing to be cautious when it comes to love."

" Well." While talking, Xiao Chengxiu came back.

Mrs. Xiao rarely observed Xiao Chengxiu and Sang Yao when they were together in the past. She didn't know if it was affected by the signature. The more she observed, the more she felt that her eldest son and Yaoyao seemed to be a good match.

The two may have worked together, so whether they were getting along or talking, their expressions and body movements were very natural, and it was obvious that they were really familiar with each other.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xiao had some doubts. With the personalities of her eldest son and Yaoyao, it was difficult for the two of them to create any sparks. It was impossible for her to really match up the former second daughter-in-law and her eldest son. This kind of thing was simply impossible. Just can't do it.

After dinner, Xiao Chengxiu and Sang Yao left together. They lived in the same community and were going home together.

Mrs. Xiao stood at the door and sighed deeply, "This is nothing."

It would be so embarrassing if the two children knew about this.

She was doing some mental construction again: it's fake, it's fake, asking for fortune-telling and birthdates is all a product of the feudal era! It’s a new society now! Freedom to love and marriage! Could it be that she forced the two of them to be together just because of the words "a match made in heaven"? She thought it was ridiculous.

Xiao Chengxiu and Sang Yao didn't even notice Mrs. Xiao's eyes lingering on them again and again.

The two people came out of Xiao's house and went directly back to the apartment in the community.

The city of Beijing suddenly became much quieter, and the roads that were usually congested during get off work hours became extremely smooth.

The drive that usually takes nearly an hour was shortened to half an hour today.

"Do you want to go see Xiashian?" Xiao Chengxiu asked Sang Yao after parking the car. He concealed it so well that Sang Yao didn't notice that his calm tone, as if he was discussing the weather, was wrapped in tension.

Sang Yao looked at the time. It was still early, not even eight o'clock, and said, "Okay, I miss it too. I'll take it back just in time."

The two of them went to Xiao Chengxiu's apartment together. Both the floor plan and the area are larger than where she lives.

As soon as I entered the door and turned on the light, I saw the shy dog running towards me with short legs.

It used its strength to interpret the truth that no matter what species it is, opposite sexes attract and same sexes repel. It completely ignored Xiao Chengxiu, who temporarily acted as its shit shovel for a few days, and turned around Sang Yao's legs, and finally lay down in a very doggy manner. After coming down, the dog's head was resting on Sang Yao's feet to keep her warm, which was almost invisible.

One person and one dog were very affectionate for a while. Sang Yao liked the meaty lump so much that she shyly hugged it and took various photos. Now she has basically become a cute pet blogger, and by the way, she also attracted a wave of fans on Weibo.

Xiao Chengxiu casually said to Sang Yao: "Can you please bring me a bottle of water? There is it in the refrigerator."

Sang Yao said oh and saw that he turned on the computer and looked very busy, so he picked up Xian Xi and walked to the kitchen.

Xiao Chengxiu looked at the computer screen nervously. He didn't read a word of the email inside.

Sang Yao came to the kitchen, holding Shaoxian in one hand and opening the refrigerator with the other. The moment the refrigerator door opened, she was stunned.

The refrigerator is filled with different varieties of flowers.

In the movie "Eye of the Beast", filling the refrigerator with flowers is a way of confessing. Sang Yao saw someone mention this movie clip on Weibo some time ago, and she even liked it.

She never imagined that this would happen to her and that someone would fill the refrigerator with flowers.

She stood shyly in front of the refrigerator with her arms in her arms. The air-conditioning in the refrigerator spread around her, and she seemed unaware of it.

Seeing that he didn't hear the unexpected surprise sound, Xiao Chengxiu thought she didn't like it, so he quickly closed the computer and came to the kitchen door.

Sang Yao's back was turned to him, and he couldn't see her expression, but that was fine. If he looked at her, he might be embarrassed to say something.

He admired some people who could say whatever they wanted when facing the person they liked, but he seemed unable to do so. He was even embarrassed to give her a bouquet of flowers in person.

"I heard that there will be White Valentine's Day soon, and Chinese Valentine's Day and Christmas will also be celebrated." Xiao Chengxiu thought that he would always have to overcome these problems, and it was impossible not to send flowers every time. "I saw you liked it on Weibo. "I thought you liked it."

He is not used to buying and giving flowers, nor is he used to choosing gifts. He doesn't even know what she likes.

He has implemented the creed of "If you want to do it, you must do it best" throughout his thirty-one years of life. His methods are limited and he can only try to let her see this mature and even vicissitudes of life. A heart beneath the surface.

I hope she likes it, I hope she won't dislike it, and I hope she can remember that he once sent flowers.

Chapter 80 Turn off the lights small medium large Previous chapter: Chapter 79Next chapter: Chapter 81 At night, Sang Yao tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Her mind was filled with the fireworks and the flowers in the refrigerator.

She thought that she would not be moved. Even if she really had something to do with Xiao Chengxiu, she would choose the brightest path under the consideration of various realities.

But, how could you not be moved? She is the most tacky kind of person. Xiao Chengxiu is the richest man. He is young, promising, dignified and handsome. If he is liked by such a person, he should hide and sneer. In fact, isn't she also during this time? Do you enjoy his gentleness and pursuit?

What were your original thoughts? Quietly waiting for the other party to discover how ordinary and lazy she is under this skin. Let him break his illusion about her. But even she could feel how difficult it was for Xiao Chengxiu to like someone and be attracted to someone. He was so good, shouldn't she let the other person feel that his liking was right?

Whether voluntarily or passively, she has now become Sang Yao.

She should change herself and try to become the real Miss Sang.

Does she expect someone like Xiao Chengxiu to also love her mediocre and lazy side? She doesn't even love herself like this, so why would she ask such an excellent and self-disciplined person to accept liking her like this?

What kind of person should match what kind of person. If she is destined to be mediocre all her life, if she is mediocre and content with the status quo all her life, then she can only be matched with someone who is also lazy and unmotivated.

But does she really like such a person? No, she was more annoying than anyone else.

What she really yearns for in her heart is a top human being like Xiao Chengxiu. The reason why she stops moving forward and wants to escape is because she knows that she is not worthy of him, and she also knows that the other person no longer likes her after realizing her true face.

Sang Yao, before you traveled through time, you complained about everything, your poor background, your lack of capable parents who provided you with a favorable environment, your impetuous society, which only valued power and money, but it’s different now, you almost If we live at the top of the pyramid, will we have a hard time living this life?

That night, Sang Yao earnestly searched the Internet for news about Xiao Chengxiu with a heart of admiration.

She now has a new goal, to become the best version of herself, so that Xiao Chengxiu still likes her after he truly gets to know her.

She wanted to prove that she was worthy and worthy of this love.

***

Xiao Chengxiu received two resignations this day.

One is from Sang Yao, and the other is from Xiao Jingqiao.

Sang Yao stood in front of his desk with firm eyes.

"Where have you decided to go?" Xiao Chengxiu asked warmly.

"Yes." Sang Yao nodded and looked at Xiao Chengxiu, "I recently wanted to challenge something, which ignited my fighting spirit."

Xiao Chengxiu asked with interest, "What is it?" "

Mr. Xiao, if I remember correctly "You should be a graduate of Yale University."

"Well, you want to continue school?" Xiao Chengxiu already knew.

"Yes." Sang Yao smiled, "Recently I feel that my knowledge reserve is not very sufficient. During the Chinese New Year, my dad also told me that he wanted to retire when he was sixty years old and then hand over his company to I manage, but I don’t know anything about management, but if I don’t know it, I have to learn it.”

Mr. Sang did tell her. But Mr. Sang obviously still knows her very well. No, it should be said that she is the original owner. The original owner has no interest in doing business or inheriting the company founded by Mr. Sang. Mr. Sang also knows that in his plan, Xiao Jingqiao must be If he will not inherit the Xiao family, then he will hand over his company to Xiao Jingqiao to manage it. Of course, Mr. Sang also knows that he has not inherited the Sang family, and the company he founded is not a well-known large group in the country. Xiao Jingqiao I don’t know if I can watch it or not.

Now that Sang Yao and Xiao Jingqiao have terminated their engagement, Mr. Sang is planning the future of the company again. He has also asked Sang Yao's opinion. If Sang Yao is still unwilling to take over the company, he will also find a special manager after retirement. To manage, this in itself is not a big problem.

Originally, Sang Yao never thought about taking over this company. After all, she knew how much knowledge she had in her mind. But after some things, she suddenly discovered that she could actually give it a try.

Xiao Chengxiu thought for a while and said: "Have you ever thought about it? Once you have this idea and start taking action, no one around you will allow you to stop. You will be very tired, Sang Yao, I want to tell you What's more, it is not easy for you to manage even a supermarket, let alone a company. You will be very tired and you will be under a lot of pressure."

This is the successor. Sang Yao's advice to Sang Yao.

Sang Yao said gratefully, "I know."

Of course she knew what it meant to make this decision, just as Xiao Chengxiu said, once she started taking action, no one would allow her to give up halfway.

She will completely miss out on a comfortable and leisurely life.

It's just a dream to hang out in a wealthy family and wait to die.

In fact, in a wealthy family, there is no option to just hang around and wait to die. Once you enter a wealthy family, no matter what path you take, it will not be easy.

"Although I don't know why you made this decision." Xiao Chengxiu stood up, walked to her, raised his hand, and did what he had always wanted to do, which was to touch her head and whisper He said: "But if you think you will be happier if you do this, then do it."

Before leaving the office, Sang Yao hesitated for a while, with his hand on the door handle, but couldn't help but said: "I'm not That's what you imagined."

Xiao Chengxiu was signing. He didn't look up when he heard her say this, with a faint smile on his face. "I never imagined what you were like."

"Then you can imagine it now. "I hope you won't be disappointed when the time comes.

"

"

Sang Yao said gratefully, "I understand, Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Chengxiu smiled, "Come on."

After Sang Yao returned to the secretarial department and sat down, her phone vibrated, and it was a WeChat message from Xiao Chengxiu: "Occasionally. If you feel tired, you can tell me, I am more experienced and know how to relax."

Sang Yao replied: "Forget it, I don't believe that people who rarely watch movies have any entertainment activities."

Xiao Chengxiu: "I can also study. You can wait for the acceptance of the results."

***

Returning to campus is not an immediate matter. Sang Yao also has to take an exam. After passing the exam, he can regain his identity as a student. After looking at the plan and timetable, she had nearly a year to prepare.

Mrs. Sang supported her decision.

Mrs. Xiao counted the time and thought, people who are not destined are not destined. The last time she went to Nanling Temple to ask for a fortune, she said that her eldest son would get married at the end of the year. Yaoyao would go to school at the end of the year. Even if the eldest son would get married, The target is definitely not Yaoyao.

Eh. Mrs. Xiao has been very melancholy during this period, so melancholy that she has suffered from insomnia and panic. Sang Yao has resigned and usually has free time besides studying. On this day, he accompanied Mrs. Xiao to the hospital to see a doctor.

Coincidentally, Mrs. Xiao was going to see the gynecology department. Sang Yao accompanied her to the floor of the gynecology and gynecology department, and happened to see Shen Lu sitting in the waiting hall.

The gynecology department and the obstetrics department are on the same floor, but they are separated by different locations. When Sang Yao saw that Shen Lu was on the obstetrics side, she guessed that some plots were still developing according to the original work. Shen Lu was pregnant. Of course, in the original plot, she was pregnant because of the violent She suffered from morning sickness and felt very uncomfortable. In addition, she unknowingly took illegal drugs for pregnant women in the early stages of her pregnancy. After many considerations, she chose to have an abortion.

In the original work, Shen Lu only wanted to bear the pain of losing the child alone, so he did not tell Zhou Qingyan about it. This was a foreshadowing. Until the break, Zhou Qingyan did not know that Shen Lu was pregnant again. Had an abortion.

Did Shen Lu find out she was pregnant now or come to have an abortion?

But it's none of her business.

Shen Lu naturally saw Sang Yao, and she felt a little awkward when she thought about what she heard from Qing Yan about her and Xiao Chengxiu.

Mrs. Xiao also saw Shen Lu, and her tone was full of disgust. She took Sang Yao aside and lowered her voice: "Yao Yao, I tell you, you must stay away from this kind of person. This kind of person God can't bear to accept someone with evil intentions."

Sang Yao smiled helplessly, "It's okay."

Although Shen Lu was indeed unreasonable in doing things, there were not many readers who scolded her in the comments of the original work. Bai Lianhua is a scheming bitch, but the matter between Xiao Jingqiao and Shen Lu cannot be entirely blamed on Shen Lu. If Xiao Jingqiao hadn't been such a scumbag, things wouldn't have ended up like that.

Mrs. Xiao didn't want to mention anything related to her second son in front of Sang Yao, so she quickly changed the subject, "I heard something recently. Your eldest brother used to have a classmate named Meng Zheng. I met him several times. He is a very good person and has a decent appearance..."

Sang Yao's first reaction was that Mrs. Xiao was going to introduce her to someone, so she quickly said, "Auntie, I'm very busy recently and I really don't have much time to fall in love."

"You kid!" Mrs. Xiao pretended to glare at her, "I didn't say I would introduce it to you. Don't worry, let's continue talking about this Meng Zheng. He is getting engaged recently. The engagement partner is his nephew's former girlfriend. Meng Zheng is The elder son of the Meng family, his nephew was born when he was still in kindergarten, so they were only a few years apart."

Sang Yao didn't have time to listen to other people in this circle, and was a little surprised for a moment.

Mrs. Xiao added: "There were a lot of rumors before. I think that now we are in an open society, which emphasizes freedom of love, so although this kind of thing is rare, it is not unacceptable. Yaoyao, what do you think?"

The author has something to say: People in the Xiao family are all typical people who "say no with their mouths but are very honest with their bodies." The same goes for Mrs. Xiao, but now that she thinks about it, she doesn't really support the kind of people

who have contradictory ideas.
