She was sent abroad at the age of thirteen.
It's not because the family has such conditions; it's simply because Grandpa Xin's educational philosophy is like this.
Cheng Jiu gave her a calm look and asked, "Aren't you afraid then?"
I was afraid. How could I not be afraid? During those days, she cried every day. After crying, she still had to go to class and study. Only when she cried under the covers before going to bed at night was she the most relaxed.
It's actually not easy to recall that period of time. Although it's all in the past, it's just her personality. Some memories are not fine once they pass; they only become clearer as she grows older.
Xin Gan lowered her head and said, "I'm afraid, but it's no use."
My eyes swelled up from crying. The next day, I should have classes and exams.
Cheng Jiu remained silent for a while, looking straight ahead. Finally, he said, "Xin Gan, I may not be able to take care of you anytime and anywhere, but I can responsibly say that I will not let you down or abandon you. As long as it is not illegal and reasonable, and meets your demands, I will protect you, no matter what happens."
When I was on North Island, I had a bad attitude when talking to you. I apologize to you.
His voice was deep and magnetic. "Xin Gan, I'm thirty years old this year. I don't have any ulcers and I don't want to have any promiscuous relationships with others. You can rest assured about all this. Don't worry about the future. I swear by my character that as my wife, I'm willing to love you with all my life."
He is very sincere. Every word and sentence is what he truly wants to say to her.
Even if he admits his mistake, he does so openly and without reservation. He doesn't think it's embarrassing to bow to a woman or apologize. It was indeed his bad attitude that made him harsh to her, right in front of Xiao Shi and the others.
Xin Gan always remembered that she had never been in such a sorry state. Being scolded by him in front of so many people, she was really sad and angry at that time. Later, when she calmed down, she felt it wasn't that bad and chose to forget.
But just as she said earlier, it's not that everything will be fine once it's over. She's just pretending that nothing happened.
She was very flustered. Cheng Jiu's expression of his feelings at this moment made her feel as if an invisible huge net was covering her. She had no way out and could only face him.
Cheng Jiu saw Xin Gan home. When they reached the doorstep, Xin Gan was just about to get off the car when Cheng Jiu reached out and held her wrist, asking her, "What do you think of what I just said?"
His palm was warm, and he held her wrist. His skin touched, and she felt the warmth in his palm. Her breathing became disordered as she said, "But I'm not sure what I think. Cheng Jiu, I might not be able to bear it."
Her plan is for immigration.
If you get along well with him at this time, there will be no way out at all.
She instinctively evaded and wanted to refuse.
Cheng Jiu didn't care at all and had anticipated her reaction. He smiled and said, "I won't be back until the end of the year. Xin Gan, I'll give you half a year to think about it. Give me an answer by the end of the year."
I'm looking forward to and waiting for your answer.
He gave her the last time to think, to make her figure it out and to give her some breathing time.
Xin Gan subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief, her nerves not as tense as before.
Cheng Jiu noticed her indecision. She clearly had feelings for him, but what she said was the opposite. She still had something on her mind that couldn't be known by others, which was why she was so hesitant. He gave her the last six months to calm down and think.
During this half year, he also has to go back to deal with his own affairs, because the higher-ups have only given him this much time.
...
When Xin Gan got home, her mother asked her but didn't ask much. When she went upstairs, the smile on her mother's lips couldn't be concealed. She felt that the two of them were actually quite a match.
The man is handsome and his daughter is also good-looking. Moreover, the engagement was personally decided by the elders of the two families.
The two families are a perfect match in all aspects. They are well-matched and very suitable for each other.
...
At around three o 'clock in the afternoon, He Chuan arrived at the airport and was about to go through security when he suddenly received a call from his wife. He didn't want to answer it at first because he was in a hurry to go through security and was about to board the plane. However, the phone kept ringing. He hesitated for a few seconds but still picked it up.
"He Chuan, come back quickly. Your father is going to kill He Cheng. Hurry up, come back quickly!"
He Chuan let out a heavy breath and said, "Take your time. Don't worry."
Last night after you left, your father and He Cheng had another argument. He Cheng refused to admit his mistake and was made to kneel all night. The next morning, your father found the photos on He Cheng's phone and beat him up again. After this beating, He Cheng spat blood...
He Chuan impatiently tugged at the buttons of his collar, dropped his head while carrying his suitcase, and walked towards the airport exit.
Where is the person now? Where's Dad?
Your father was resting in the bedroom and was so angry that he had a heart attack.
"Ask Auntie to call Dr. Xu. First, lock He Cheng in the room and don't let him run out. If you can't control He Cheng, ask the driver for help. Just say what I said." "
Mrs. He broke down in tears and said, "Is it necessary to go this far?" He Cheng is just young and doesn't understand things. Let's have a good talk. He will know he was wrong...
He Chuan sneered, "If he had the slightest sense of shame, would he have ended up like this?" Why did you send him abroad for study in the first place, Mom? Have you forgotten?
Speaking of this matter, Mrs. He was at a loss for words for a moment and whispered, "It's all in the past. Don't mention it."
He Chuan said, "We can't get over it. If this matter is brought up by someone, without me taking action myself, He Cheng will be ruined."
Lady He couldn't help choking up and pleaded with him, "He Chuan, don't be like this. He Cheng is your younger brother. You can't just ignore him. Your father is already very angry. Only you can help him. Considering that he is your younger brother, please help him and don't just ignore him."
At this moment, the assistant hadn't left yet. The car was still outside the airport. Seeing He Chuan strode out, the assistant hurriedly got out of the car and ran over. He Chuan handed him the suitcase and instructed, "Go back to the He family."
Seeing that He Chuan's expression was not good, it was obvious that he was in a bad mood. He didn't dare to run into the gun barrel and kept his mouth shut, concentrating on driving.
He Chuan changed his hand to hold the phone and said, "Mom, every time He Cheng gets into trouble, you don't dare to tell Dad. You always beg me like this, earnestly telling me that He Cheng is my own younger brother. Apart from me, no one else can help him." What kind of path did he cultivate in his previous life to be my younger brother in this life? I do charity work, don't I?
But no matter how much He Chuan sneered at her, Lady He wouldn't listen. In her eyes and heart, there was only his son, He Cheng. It seemed as if He Chuan was merely a tool to clean up the mess for He Cheng, only begging him when needed.
Lady He was so ridiculed that she couldn't utter a word. She stammered for a while, only shedding tears. In a low voice, she begged He Chuan again, "He Chuan, you are different from He Cheng. He is still young and doesn't understand things. As the eldest brother, you should help him."
He Chuan was impatient: "Alright, I understand."
"Kagawa, Mom promises, this is the last time."
The last time?
He Chuan curled his lips and gave a self-mocking smile. How many times had this happened? He hung up the phone, rubbed his temples, and looked very agitated.
The phone rang again, but he didn't look at it. He picked it up immediately, his tone unfriendly. "What else is there?"
The person on the other end of the phone fell silent. Cheng Hui said carefully, "I..." I'm fine... "Kagawa, it's me..."
Hearing Cheng Hui's voice, He Chuan immediately came to his senses, suppressed his ill temper, slowed down his tone and said, "Sorry, I mistook you for someone else. What's wrong with you?"
Cheng Hui was a little scared and asked in a low voice, "He Chuan, what's wrong with you?" Why so fierce?
Did I scare you? He lowered his voice and responded gently.
One thing, but I know for sure you weren't being harsh on me. What's wrong with you? Could you tell me?
The assistant took a furtive glance at the rearview mirror and saw his boss struggling to adjust his facial expression, trying his best to restrain his impatience, and speaking to the person on the other end of the phone in an exceptionally gentle tone.
He Chuan said, "Nothing. What's wrong with you? You want to find your brother again?" Didn't he pick you up and take you home this morning? Didn't he come back?
No. I'm looking for you.
