Chapter 19: Trapped
Chapter 19: Trapped
When did I become a member of the He family?
Xu Zhihui was a little confused.
Mrs. He's way of forcing her to do something made her laugh and cry. She didn't resist, nor did she dislike it. She just gave in to Mrs. He's love. If she disliked it, she would have stopped her from talking. She even found it strange.
She thought about it and realized that she couldn't deceive herself or she would get caught up in it.
Young Master He is so handsome that a woman would be obsessed with him. Of course, it is not because he is handsome that I have an idea about him. After getting to know him, I find that he is a good person. The most important thing is that I feel moved.
When she met him for the first time, he had a stern face, was ungraceful and not polite at all. Xu Zhihui wanted to turn away immediately.
But later, when she was wiping the stains off his body, the unintentional intimate touch gave her a subtle feeling of warmth in her ears from her fingertips. She could feel his body temperature through his clothes, and his heartbeat. The thumping sound made her heartbeat quicken as if there was a resonance reaction.
At that time, she only wanted to calm Master He down and not cause any big trouble. Apart from her father, this was the first time she cared about a man's temper. Just last night when she talked to Master He on the phone, it was the first time she cared about a man's emotions.
She fell in love with Master He.
She felt that Master He was also trapped in it.
Otherwise, why would he do some small actions intentionally or unintentionally? Playing with her hair, helping her to swat away the flies on her head, and finding a poor excuse to take the opportunity to hold her hand. As for such a stupid thing as biting off half of her carrot cake and running away, who would have thought that this was something a domineering president would do? His expression and his emotions betrayed him.
Li Xiangling, her sworn sister, often mentioned An Zijie, her childhood sweetheart. They were affectionate and occasionally quarreled, which was just flirting. Wasn't that what Master He did at that moment? This beautiful girl didn't fall into it, and no one would believe her.
She thought, it's not impossible to be with Master He. Give it a try, it's not bad.
Mrs. He said she wanted to get out of bed and take a walk outside. Everyone agreed and was very happy.
The happiest person was Mrs. Wu, who was happy to see that Madam had recovered so quickly. She had just come back from outside and said, "Madam, it's windy outside, put on your coat."
Mrs. He was wearing loose convalescent clothes. With everyone avoiding her, Mrs. Wu helped her change into simple clothes and a thin coat. The three women carefully helped her get out of bed and sit in a wheelchair.
Mrs. He smiled and said, "I have strength now, and I am not so arrogant."
Lan Ying and Xu Zhihui said in unison: "You are our baby now, so of course you have to be careful."
Mrs. Wu wanted to go along, but He Zhizun asked her to stay so that someone could meet the people from the He and Sun families. As for the driver, Old Wu, He Zhijing had asked him to rest. He must have been tired after driving for more than seven hours.
Two brothers and two sisters accompanied their mother.
There was a slope at the entrance. Although it was not too steep, He Zhijing did not dare to be careless at all. He slowly backed up and pulled the wheelchair. After going down the slope, Xu Zhihui said, "Let me do it."
Mrs. He was happy to let her push it.
It was still very hot in the south at the end of October, not like autumn at all. There was wind, but the sun was still scorching hot at around 4 o'clock, and it was very uncomfortable without an umbrella.
They walked to a place about seven or eight hundred meters away, where there was a large natural park with a large lake and a large viewing pavilion on the lake.
He Zhijing followed Xu Zhihui holding a large umbrella, covering the two women tightly.
Xu Zhihui glanced at it and saw that the umbrella was tilted towards them, with the man's right shoulder exposed. She couldn't ask him to hold the umbrella properly, after all, the person sitting in the wheelchair was his mother who was recovering.
Xu Zhihui took the initiative to move closer to him, and Mrs. He saw it and smiled. He Zhijing wanted to put his hand on her shoulder several times, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous.
He Zhizun and Lan Ying followed behind, ten meters away. He Zhizun held an umbrella and gently hugged Lan Ying's slender waist.
There are many beautiful women in Jiangshan Meili, and Lan Ying can still rank among the top.
Queen Yan has "one Jing and two Ying" around her, all three are extremely beautiful. Lan Ying is one of the "two Yings", the other is Zhang Xueying. He Zhizun is very lucky to have a beauty like Lan Ying.
Lan Ying looked at the couple in front of her and smiled, "Do they look like the way they did when we first met? You were much cooler and colder than Zhi Jing back then. You always had things on your mind that you didn't want to share with me."
He Zhizun pretended to be crazy and shook his head like a Husky, "No, no."
Lan Ying smiled tenderly and did not refute him.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when they were alone, He Zhizun said solemnly: "Yingying, let's get married."
"Why?" Lan Ying turned her head to look at him.
"Why...why?" He Zhizun was surprised by her reaction. "Why? I want to marry you. I never said I don't want to get married. Do you have any misunderstanding?"
"Is it...you don't want to?" He Zhizun's face became tense. There was a small stone under his feet, and he kicked it away.
"Hey, be careful not to kick someone."
There were indeed quite a few people nearby, including the security personnel patrolling Yunshe, who were also regular employees of Jiangshan Beauty Group. The small stone flew quite far, but fortunately it didn't hit anyone.
Seeing this usually steady man also have such a cute little action, Lan Ying chuckled, "Seeing you are nervous, of course I am willing, you know I have been waiting for you to say it. But you have never said it, how can I know what you think."
He Zhizun felt guilty immediately. This woman had been with him for eight years. She was 22 years old then, and now she is 30 years old. It was not a short time. No wonder even Queen Yan couldn't stand it.
Once, Queen Yan said to Lan Ying with a serious expression: "If that old man He Zhizun doesn't marry you, I will chop him up."
Lan Ying was terrified. She knew how domineering Queen Yan was. She always had her way. This queen didn't look at anyone well except her brother-in-law Jiang Shan and her sister Emily. Even after following her for so many years, Lan Ying still couldn't figure out Queen Yan's thoughts.
That time, Queen Yan touched her face and said jokingly, "Don't worry, I'm going to chop him off, and then who will marry you?"
Lan Ying then breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Queen Yan was joking.
He Zhizun was so excited and guilty that he couldn't help hugging her tightly, and the umbrella fell to the ground. After a while, he hurriedly picked up the umbrella and said, "I will tell my mother later that we will hold the wedding in a month after my mother recovers and leaves Yunshe. What do you think?"
Lan Ying smiled like a blooming Phalaenopsis orchid and nodded, "Okay."
Xu Zhihui and He Zhijing looked back in tacit understanding, and saw the two people hugging each other in the sun, and smiled knowingly.
He Zhijing knew that his brother must have proposed marriage to Sister Ying, so he leaned close to Xu Zhihui's ear and whispered, "My brother is going to marry Sister Lan Ying."
"Really, that would be great."
Xu Zhihui felt that there were so many happy events recently, as if they were all happening at once. First it was Chen Jiayi's, and now it was her eldest brother's. She tilted her head and wondered, when would it be Li Xiangling's turn and her childhood sweetheart An Zijie's?
Mrs. He turned around and asked, "What are you two whispering about?"
He Zhijing scratched his head and smiled, "Good things, big brother."
Madam He glanced at the two people behind her and had already guessed what was going on. She suppressed her excitement and said with deep emotion, "Don't tell me yet. Let your brother tell me in person. I have been waiting for this day for a long time. Your father's line in the He family has never had a happy event. I am so looking forward to such a happy event..."
There were tears in Mrs. He's eyes, and Xu Zhihui didn't know how to comfort her.
When we arrived at the park, it was as beautiful as a fairyland. Although the sun was strong, clouds and mist could be seen curling around the mountain stream in the distance, and the emerald green lake was right in front of us. Several maintenance workers were tending to the flowers and plants on the grass by the lake.
Xu Zhihui pushed Mrs. He towards the viewing pavilion on the lake. Along the way, He Zhijing asked her if she wanted someone else to push her, but she said no, the road was flat and the wheelchair was strong, so it was not difficult to push.
She knew that the man holding the umbrella was actually more tired, as he had to maintain the same posture the whole way, and half of his body was exposed to the sun. She felt a little sorry for the man.
The pavilion is a long corridor-style pavilion, very wide, much more beautiful than those pavilions in the gardens of wealthy families. It spans the lake, and the scenery of the entire lake can be seen one by one.
Mrs. He told her son with a look of disgust not to follow her and to stay aside, as she wanted to talk to Xu Zhihui alone.
Xu Zhihui pushed her slowly towards the pavilion.
He Zhijing sat on the bench depressed. He turned his head and looked at Xu Zhihui's back. His mother would definitely ask about the relationship between him and Xu Zhihui. He wondered how this woman would answer.
He was upset. When Xu Zhihui asked him "how do you want her to answer?", he shouldn't have said "whatever you want to answer."
The eldest brother He Zhizun and Lan Ying sat beside each other intimately, laughing from time to time. He Zhijing felt that he was fed a wave of dog food by his eldest brother and sister-in-law.
After pulling away from each other, Xu Zhihui pushed Madam He to the chair, sat down herself, and said to Madam He, "Aunt, do you want to ask what happened between me and He Zhijing? I also want to explain this matter to you."
