Xiao Huizi and He Xiaoer

Xu Qianrou stopped.

Qin Shujun saw a black iron hammer on her daughter's desk and asked in surprise, "Qianrou, is this the hammer that you hide in your room every night to play with?"

Xu Qianrou knew that her mother blamed her for not going out on a date, so she explained, "This was left to me by my godmother. She told me to practice lifting it every day."

When Qin Shujun heard that Zhu Yingzi asked her to do this, she thought there must be a reason, so she stopped asking questions.

She pulled her daughter to sit down and asked, "The servant left when he saw Xiao Shuai walking you to the door. Why didn't you let him in?"

"I'm not free."

"If you don't have time, you can ask him to come in and chat with your parents."

"Got it. Maybe next time."

"You are... From an outsider's perspective, Xiao Shuai is your driver, not your boyfriend. How is your conversation with him going?"

Xu Qianrou smiled and said, "Very good."

"Really? Then ask him to come over to our house tomorrow."

Xu Qianrou said, "Okay."

"This afternoon, the two brothers Ajing, Xiaohui, and Yingying came to our house, and they brought another woman with them."

The He brothers brought their wives over, and they appeared as a pair. Xu Qianrou knew that her mother must be extremely envious, so she wanted to meet Bu Xiaoshuai.

She asked, "It's quite unexpected that Brother Zun is here too. What's the matter with them coming here? Who is the other woman?"

"She is Yingying's colleague, her name is Zhang Xueying, and she came here today specifically to see your godmother."

"Looking for godmother? What's the matter?"

Xu Qianrou was curious. Her godmother had always been very low-key and few outsiders knew of her existence. Moreover, her godmother only stayed in the Xu family for a short period of time each year.

"I wanted to invite your godmother to the Jiangshan Beauty headquarters. I told her that she had left some time ago and might not come again. Zhang Xueying was quite disappointed to hear that."

Xu Qianrou thought about it and realized that her godmother had been to Xu Zhihui's house once, so it made sense for them to come to her house to find her godmother.

"Qian Rou, where did you go this afternoon?"

Xu Qianrou said, "What a coincidence! Bu Xiaoshuai and I went to Xu Zhihui's house, and who knew Xu Zhihui would come to our house as well."

"Didn't Aunt Fei go to Aunt Qiu's house to propose marriage this morning? Aunt Qiu received the betrothal gifts and wanted to find a bank to keep them, so she asked Bu Xiaoshuai to help her deal with it. After that, I went to Bu Xiaoshuai's house to have dinner in the evening before coming back."

Qin Shujun got excited when she heard this and said, "Today is the day when the He family and the Xu family officially get married. The entire upper class circle is in an uproar. The He family's valuable betrothal gift alone is shocking enough, but I heard that the return gift from the Xu family's relatives is even more impressive."

"That was Aunt Fei's deliberate high profile."

"If I were Xiaofei, I would do the same as her."

"Qian Rou, I always felt that Xiao Hui had a good impression on me, as if I had known her for a long time, like a family member. This afternoon, I suddenly thought of Xiao Hui, and she came."

She sighed, "It would be great if Xiaohui was your sister. If your sister were still alive and the same age as Xiaohui, she would definitely be as pretty and lovely as her."

Xu Qianrou fell into deep thought.

In fact, when she first met Xu Zhihui, she had a sense of déjà vu, like her own sister, but she knew that was impossible.

His sister died just one day after she was born, and the whole family had no time to rejoice before she died. This incident dealt a heavy blow to the Xu family.

At that time, Xu Qianrou was just over two years old and already knew how to feel sad.

After that incident, Qin Shujun had no plans to have another child.

Originally, the name "Xuandmei" was prepared for his biological sister. For this reason, when his second uncle's cousin was born, his second uncle gave this name to his cousin.

Xu Qianrou has always treated her cousin as her own sister.

The reason for my sister's death was congenital heart failure, which led to serious functional disorders.

According to the mother Qin Shujun, the fetal examination before delivery had always been normal and no such disease was found, but this happened anyway.

Thinking of this, Xu Qianrou suddenly asked, "Mom, was it really impossible to detect it at that time? That's unlikely, right?"

Qin Shujun nodded and said, "It has always been normal, and the heartbeat is very healthy."

"A week before the birth, your uncle He Zhang specially invited the best doctor to come over. He said she was a great doctor in Jiangshan, and the examination was normal."

Xu Qianrou was still young at the time. Even if she had seen He Zhijing's father He Zhang, she no longer remembers him. She could only see what He's father looked like in photos of the He family.

I heard that He Zhang had a certain relationship with Jiangshan Beauty Group, so after He Zhang got into trouble, He Zhizun joined Jiangshan Beauty Group.

"The great doctor that Uncle He hired couldn't save your sister. One day later, it was announced that the rescue had failed. Your sister left us forever."

Xu Qianrou had heard these things from her mother before, and she had different feelings when she heard them again.

Qin Shujun sighed, "This is destined."

"Destined?"

Xu Qianrou was shocked when she heard this and suddenly reacted strongly to the word. Her sister should not have such a fate.

It's not right to come into this world and leave like this without even having the chance to see everything!

If my sister were still alive, she would definitely be a favored child of heaven.

Xu Qianrou suddenly had many doubts and asked, "Why did Uncle He specially invite a doctor here? Why did Uncle He suddenly disappear again after three days?"

Qin Shujun rolled her eyes at her. "We have a good relationship between the Xu and He families, and your uncle He is a warm and enthusiastic person. What's the problem with this?"

"I'm just asking."

"Hey, your Uncle He was kidnapped back then. This incident was a bigger blow to Aunt Fei than it was to us. Even his body hasn't been found yet."

Of course the Xu family didn’t know.

It was also from that videotape that Sun Xiaofei learned that He Zhang had been killed. He was thrown into the sea and eaten by sharks, leaving no intact body.

It has been 26 years since He Zhang was murdered.

Sun Xiaofei didn't even tell anyone in the He family about this. Only the two He brothers, Lan Ying and Xu Zhihui knew about it.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's get back to your business."

Qin Shujun's mood changed quickly, and she asked, "Qianrou, what do you think about the relationship between you and Xiaoshuai?"

Xu Qianrou was stunned. "What do you think?"

Qin Shujun looked at her for a while and said, "Did you let Bu Xiaoshuai pretend to be your boyfriend to fool Mom? Logically speaking, your reason for being with him is a bit far-fetched."

Xu Qianrou was unhappy to hear this and said unhappily, "Mom, you don't like him?"

Qin Shujun quickly said, "That's not what I meant. Of course I like him. I like Bu Xiaoshuai, too. How could I not like him?"

"I'm afraid you're not serious with him. Don't find a man to pretend to be me just to deal with me. I won't force you anymore in the future."

Xu Qianrou took her mother's hand and said seriously, "Mom, what are you thinking? How could I let Bu Xiaoshuai pretend to be my boyfriend? It's really not true."

Qin Shujun was delighted when she heard this and said, "So you and Xiaoshuai are serious about this?"

Xu Qianrou nodded in acknowledgment.

"That's good. Think about it and set a date."

Xu Qianrou was shocked when she heard this, "Mom, isn't it too fast?"

Qin Shujun smiled and said, "Not fast, not fast. If you've decided on him, it won't be fast at all. Look at how long Ajing and Xiaohui have only known each other, and they are so happy now."

Xu Qianrou looked at her mother and asked, "Mom, don't you think his family is not a good match for ours?"

"Of course I don't mind. Silly boy, your happiness is the most important thing. It's rare that you like someone, so as long as you like him, that's all. The most important thing is that he treats you well, has good character, and is motivated."

"Thank you, Mom."

Xu Qianrou smiled secretly in her heart. Bu Xiaoshuai was just a stay-at-home guy who loved playing games. He didn't seem to have any ambition at all.

Of course she wouldn't tell her mother.

"Mom, whatever you say, but I have to discuss it with him."

Qin Shujun smiled and said, "Of course, you guys discuss it carefully. I came here specifically to tell you this. Okay, I'm going back now."

No one knows a mother better than her daughter. Xu Qianrou knew that her mother came here mainly to talk about her and Bu Xiaoshuai.

Mother should be satisfied.

After Qin Shujun left, Xu Qianrou had no intention of practicing anymore. After taking a shower, she lay down on the bed.

She turned around and was filled with anger. Bu Xiaoshuai didn't call her at all all night, so he must be busy playing games again.

Can you not be angry?
