Drop

The next day was Saturday, Zuo Chi went to Zuo's house. When he stepped into the gate of Zuo's house, he looked at the familiar environment, but felt like a guest. He had lived here for more than [-] years without any sense of belonging.

He brought the gifts he picked in Milan and took out a set of skin care products for Aunt Chen.

"What is this?" Aunt Chen took a closer look, and after seeing the pattern on the box clearly, she declined again and again, but her expression was happy, "Oh, I am old, how can I use such expensive skin care products?"

Zuo Chi smiled: "Take it, it's my heart."

Shu Qingyu came downstairs wearing an apricot embroidered cheongsam, took the gift bag Zuo Chi handed her, did not open it, and did not ask what it was: "I came back the day before yesterday?"

Zuo Chi was not surprised that she knew about his flight: "Yes."

Shu Qingyu glanced at him: "You are having fun, come back later, do you think there is still a place for you in the Zuo family? Are you stupid, your father asked you to give up your seat and you are obedient? I don't know how to take advantage of this opportunity?"

Zuo Chi didn't refute: "Where's father?"

"He's in the study." Shu Qingyu raised his chin, "Bring the teacup in by the way, remember to have a good attitude."

Zuo Chi put the teacup on the tray, carried it to the door of the study, and knocked on the door with one hand.

"Come in." There was a piece of rice paper spread on the desk in front of Zuo Yi, and he used a brush to dip the inkstone on the inkstone, writing like a cloud of smoke.

"Father, your tea." Zuo Chi put the tea and the tray on another desk.

Zuo Yi: "I'm back."

"Yes." Zuo Chi stood beside him, patiently waiting for him to finish writing a poem before speaking, "I have something to tell you."

Zuo Yi put down his pen, his eyes lingered on the calligraphy work he had just completed: "Say it."

Zuo Chi looked directly at him: "I want to cancel the marriage with the Sheng family."

Only then did Zuo Yi look up at him, with a sharp look on his face: "Why?"

Zuo Chi took a breath: "Sheng Li and I have no relationship beyond friends."

Zuo Yi smiled, put his hands on the table, leaned against the back of the chair and looked Zuo Chi from head to toe: "This is the worst reason. Don't say that you and Sheng Li don't have any feelings, you have to know that feelings are never The necessary conditions for the establishment of marriage. Zuo Chi, you are 25, why are you more ignorant than before? Do you think you have many choices? What qualifications does a 25-year-old Omega have in the marriage market? The engagement banquet has already been held, Everyone in this circle already knows that you and Sheng Li are going to get married, now that you're announcing the divorce, where are you going to put our family and the Sheng family's face? If you backtrack, what will others think?"

Zuo Chi felt both ridiculous and sad.Everything Zuo Yi said was within his consideration. Although he disagreed, he was powerless to argue: "Now the cooperation project with the Sheng family is at a standstill, and the cash flow is tight. Only by closing in time can we recover the loss."

Zuo Yi tapped his fingers on the table: "What I want is not not to lose money."

Zuo Chi knew that he had found the right entry point, and was waiting for his next sentence.

"It's okay to cancel the marriage with the Sheng family." Zuo Yi put the rice paper aside, lifted the lid of the teacup, and blew lightly, "Do you know what's going on with the Qin family now?"

Why did you get involved with the Qin family again?Zuo Chi frowned: "Isn't Qin Rui still awake in the hospital?"

After Mr. Qin's death, the Qin family was very uneasy for a period of time, and the Qin family's stock also fell all the way. Now the eldest of the Qin family has taken the position of chairman and took over the company's affairs, but he is old and the only Alpha son Qin Rui was lying in the hospital, and everyone else was staring at his position.

"Qin Rui is hopeless." Zuo Yi shook his head, "The boss of the Qin family actually has an Alpha son, named Qin Xu in Chinese, who just returned to China two weeks ago and hasn't shown up at the Qin family yet."

Zuo Chi understood it, and Zuo Yi also had this idea because he didn't mention canceling the marriage with the Sheng family, otherwise it would be impossible to understand the Qin family so thoroughly.He had never heard of Qin Xu's name, so he must be the illegitimate son of the boss of the Qin family who leaked it out. Because something happened to Qin Rui, he tried to recall him back to the country.

Just like when Zuo Yi knew he was an Omega, Zuo Yi immediately took Zuo Lie home.

what is this?If you can't marry your elder brother, you will marry your younger brother?He had never even seen Qin Xu's face!

Zuo Chi's chest was full of gloom, and he tried to calm himself down: "Will the Qin family recognize him?"

Zuo Yi took a sip of tea and said meaningfully: "So the Qin family needs our help."

"Zuochi. If you want to cancel your marriage with the Sheng family, you have to accept the condition of being engaged to Qin Xu. Except for the Qin family, no other family will be willing to form an alliance with an Omega who has just divorced in a short time."

Zuo Chi said with difficulty: "Then... what if Qin Rui wakes up?"

Zuo Yi said: "The possibility of Qin Rui waking up is very small. If not, the boss of the Qin family would not try every means to get Qin Xu back."

When Zuo Chi thought that he was going to be engaged to an Alpha he didn't know at all, every cell in his body resisted.His hands hanging by his legs were clenched into fists, his throat slipped, swallowing his dissatisfaction into his stomach.

As long as it's not Sheng Li, it doesn't matter if you marry Qin Rui or Qin Xu, what's the difference?

Did he still expect to be able to fall in love freely?Even if he can fall in love freely, can he really fall in love with someone else after he has loved Sheng Li for so many years?

In the final analysis, it's all about marrying someone you don't like, it really doesn't matter who it is.

Perhaps as Zuo Yi said, marriage does not require feelings.Abandoning his feelings would save him a lot of trouble.

Zuo Chi's fist loosened, and he said, "Okay, I agree to be engaged to Qin Xu."

"Don't you take a look at his photo?" Zuo Yi was not surprised. He entered the name "Qin Xu" in the browser of his mobile phone, and there was already an encyclopedia entry. He turned the screen of the mobile phone to face Zuo Chi, "Qin Xu" Xu is of mixed race. His mother is German. When he was studying in China, he had a relationship with Qin Yanren. They broke up immediately after knowing that Qin Yanren had a family. Qin Yanren didn’t know about Qin Xu’s existence until long after breaking up with his mother. His stepfather is also Chinese, so Qin Xu knows Chinese."

Zuo Chi was not very interested, and what Qin Xu looked like would not affect his decision.

Zuo Yi: "Have you thought about it?"

Zuo Chi ignored the strangeness in his heart: "Yes."

"I'll pick a time to talk to Sheng Changyu." Zuo Yi then brought the topic to work, and asked Zuo Chi how long he needed to rest, and wanted to hand over the newly opened branch to him for management.

Zuo Chi didn't shirk, he needed work to enrich his life, and he asked Zuo Yi for a week's vacation to buy new household items.

After coming out of the study, Zuo Chi went to the previous bedroom and packed up all the leftovers.

He found the limited edition sneakers that Sheng Li gave him, and regretted that he never wore them once.

There is also a book with slightly yellowed margins. The title page of the book is signed by the author who Sheng Li will come to the signing event for him-"Happy birthday to A Chi, remember to smile more."

……

Zuo Chi once kept all the things related to Sheng Li as treasures, and kept them year after year.This time he finally threw these things into the trash can.

With a "bang", it seemed to hit Zuo Chi's heart, smashing the soft heart out of potholes.

Walking out of the gate of Zuo's house, Zuo Chi felt like a prisoner, thinking that he could strive for an early release with good performance, but it turned out that what trapped him was changed from handcuffs to anklets.

Fortunately, Sheng Li was temporarily released from the marriage.This may be the last memorable thing he did for someone he liked.

Zuo Chi didn't know how Zuo Yi and Sheng Changyu brought up the matter of canceling the engagement, and he didn't care, but the chat must have been unpleasant.

Because Sheng Li sent him a message one day, saying that he was called back to Sheng's house and scolded him severely. If Li Mingchuan didn't stop him, Sheng Changyu would still fight him.

Sheng Li's voice was filled with grievances, as if he was waiting for Zuo Chi to comfort him.

Zuo Chi left the cursor on the input box, not knowing what to say.

Thinking of Sheng Changyu and Li Mingchuan, he felt a little embarrassed. If he met in public in the future, he didn't know how to face them.

This marriage is like a switch. Whether the marriage is established or not corresponds to a 180-degree change in Sheng Li's attitude.Sheng Li unilaterally decided that they had regained their friendship, and even asked him out for skiing after the sellout.

In a short time, Zuo Chi felt that he and Sheng Li were not suitable for meeting, so he said he didn't want to go skiing, but Sheng Li invited him to play billiards two days later.

He refused on the grounds that he was unwell, bluntly full of flaws.

Sometimes Sheng Li was smart, but sometimes he was stupid, and he actually wanted to come to him: "Isn't it because of a stomachache again? Is there any medicine at home? I'll come and find you."

"Don't come here, I'll just sleep on it." Zuo Chi turned off the phone after sending the message, regardless of Sheng Li's reaction.

He remembered a question that was often discussed by people: Can we still be friends if we really like each other?

There is no standard answer to this question, but he thinks that the reason why Sheng Li can change so quickly is because he doesn't have any liking for him from Alpha to Omega.

At the beginning of August, everyone in the circle basically knew the news that he and Sheng Li had canceled their engagement, and the Zuo family and the Sheng family became the talk of the dinner again.It is said that the two families decided to cancel the engagement after discussion, but it is inevitable that some people will speculate on the cause and effect.

At this juncture, Zuo Yi certainly would not immediately announce the cooperation with the Qin family.Zuo Chi was able to relax for a while.

He could imagine how embarrassing his image in the eyes of others was when he quickly got engaged to other people after rescinding his engagement with Sheng Li.

An Omega who hates marriage.A product that was resold because of its poor quality.

He even hoped that Zuo Yi and the boss of the Qin family could not agree on the terms of cooperation, so that his marriage contract with Qin Xu would fall through.Maybe after this, there really won't be an Alpha who wants to marry him again, and he will be clean.

It's a pity that the reality is not as he expected. In the second week after he took over the branch, a new friend application popped up on his WeChat, and there were four words written in the verification message box: I am Qin Xu.
