break off an engagement!
Xiao Cuo's mother personally called Cui Xiangdong to officially end his unmarried relationship with Xiao Cuo on behalf of the Yanjing Xiao family.
Even though Cui Xiangdong had been mentally prepared, his heart still dropped rapidly after hearing Yuan Wanzhi say these words.
A large amount of bitterness stirred up in my sinking heart, and the shadow of Xiao Cuo appeared.
Lou Xiaoya, who was standing next to him, suddenly lit up.
Xiao Cuo broke off the engagement——
Cui Xiangdong is single again!
"Auntie, can I ask?"
Cui Xiangdong was silent for a long time before asking: "Does Xiao Cuo know about this? If she knows, what is her attitude?"
But Yuan Wanzhi asked, "Do you think the Xiao family will still ask for Xiao Cuo's opinion?"
Without waiting for Cui Xiangdong to answer, Yuan Wanzhi added: "Xiao Cuo has never accepted anyone's pursuit after you got married. Just when she finally couldn't bear the pressure from her family and wanted to marry the Qin family, Mr. Cui came. Propose for you. When she immediately agreed to the Cui family’s proposal, the family was quite unhappy.”
"Okay, I understand."
Cui Xiangdong was silent again for a long time before saying, "Thank you, auntie."
"Sigh. Xiangdong, don't blame the Xiao family. After all, because Zhuzhu waited for your divorce before agreeing to your proposal, the Xiao family has become the laughing stock in the circle."
Yuan Wanzhi sighed softly and ended the call.
Cui Xiangdong walked to the window and looked at the darkening sky without moving for a long time.
behind.
Lou Xiaoya's voice came: "I think you should find a way to meet Xiao Cuo and talk alone."
"No."
Cui Xiangdong didn't look back and said calmly: "I feel guilty that I have done too many mistakes to Xiao, and I don't want to embarrass her again."
Lou Xiaoya changed the subject: "What are your plans in the future?"
Cui Xiangdong replied: "First spend all your energy on drought relief work."
Lou Xiaoya said: "But Qin Feng will come to Rainbow Town soon to take your place."
Cui Xiangdong smiled and said nothing.
Lou Xiaoya didn't ask him again about Lou Xiaolou and quietly left the office.
Now.
She thought that Cui Xiangdong had just been expelled from the Cui family, had his engagement broken off by the Xiao family, and was facing losing his official position. At this time, her heart must be in chaos, where could she think of anything else?
actually.
Cui Xiangdong's heart was really not too messed up.
He took the initiative to terminate all relations with the Cui family.
The Xiao family was going to break off the engagement, and he had already been mentally prepared.
As for Qin Feng wanting to replace him——
hehe!
What really worries Cui Xiangdong is what Xiao Cuo will do when he learns the news.
He was worried that the little girl, whose personality would become increasingly cold as she grew up, would do irrational things.
But now, he couldn't contact Xiao Cuo.
All he could do was wait.
It was completely dark.
Nine p.m.
Qin Mingdao, Qin's eldest son, came to He Tianming's home carrying two boxes of good tea.
Qin Mingdao hurried to Tiandong, and after using all his connections, he finally figured out the source of Lou Xiaolou being taken away. It turned out to be the number one from Tiandong!
He was angry inside.
True.
From the perspective of political territory, the status of the He family in Tiandong is not only not inferior to that of the Qin family in Yanjing, but is even slightly better.
But is this the reason why the Tiandong He family embarrasses the Qin family for no reason?
No matter how true it is——
After the Qin family made a deal with the Cui family, they did not say hello to the He family when they did use a mayor of the Tiandong area as a bargaining chip in exchange of interests (for Qin Feng to replace Cui Xiangdong).
But a minor change in the official position is such a big deal. Is it necessary for the Qin family to greet the He family in advance?
After all, it is normal for the children of aristocratic families to hold positions in towns and villages at will (it was a normal phenomenon a few decades ago, don't look at it from the perspective of future generations).
So.
Why would the Tiandong He family blatantly take away the Qin family's most promising eldest grandson's daughter-in-law because of a small deal between the Qin family and the Cui family?
That's too much!
But even if Qin Mingdao is ten thousand unhappy.
For the sake of Lou Xiaolou's future, and not wanting to quarrel with the He family because of this trivial matter, he had to swallow his anger and pay a visit tonight with a shy smile on his face.
"Brother Mingdao, please forgive me for missing my welcome from afar."
He Tianming and his son He Xiaopeng stood at the gate of the courtyard to greet Qin Mingdao in person, with a very polite attitude.
He did not have the title of Qin Mingdao.
This is to make it clear that the matter to be dealt with tonight is a private matter!
Of course Qin Mingdao understood and said with a smile: "Brother Tianming, Mr. Qin took the liberty to visit us and caused a lot of disturbance. It is I who should ask you to forgive me."
"Haha, Brother Mingdao is too polite."
He Tianming laughed and pointed at He Xiaopeng: "This is my dog He Xiaopeng. Xiaopeng, call me uncle."
(Quinzi refers specifically to my incompetent son, or dog son. It is a humble name for a distinguished guest when introducing his son; it does not mean "dog son").
"Hello, uncle."
He Xiaopeng bowed down respectfully.
"well."
Qin Mingdao bowed slightly as a return gift to his son.
"Brother Mingdao, please."
He Tianming raised an invitation gesture and came to the living room side by side with Qin Mingdao.
In the living room, there are women from three generations including grandparents and grandchildren.
Mother He, Su Yan and Xiao Miaomiao.
"Miaomiao, call grandpa quickly."
He Tianming smiled at his little granddaughter.
Miaomiao immediately called Grandpa with a sweet voice.
Qin Mingdao quickly agreed, squatting down and caressing the child's face, praising her for being so beautiful.
"Brother Mingdao, this is my ex-daughter-in-law, Su Yan."
After Qin Mingdao stood up, He Tianming introduced Su Yan to him: "Currently, she works at Tiandong Hospital. In the past few years after the divorce, her work attitude and life style have been quite satisfactory. She has never No mistakes were ever made.”
Um?
Qin Mingdao was obviously stunned for a moment.
He was stunned, not because of how He Tianming's ex-daughter-in-law appeared in the He family.
But because when He Tianming introduced Su Yan, his words obviously contained a lot of things!
But before Qin Mingdao could think about it, He Tianming pointed at He's mother again: "This is my wife. A traditional woman who has taken care of her husband and raised her children for many years, never causing trouble outside, and never bullying others."
Um! ?
Qin Mingdao's brows and corners of his eyes suddenly bulged several times.
No matter how stupid you are, you can realize that there is something wrong with He Tianming's behavior in solemnly introducing his ex-daughter-in-law and wife.
Especially after Qin Mingdao quickly adjusted his condition, He Mu, Su Yan and Miao Miao, the three generations of grandparents did not avoid it, but sat on the sofa.
"Brother Tianming, what is going on?"
After Qin Mingdao sat down, he looked at He Tianming and said slowly: "Please enlighten me."
"Actually, it's not a big deal."
He Tianming's tone was light: "Someone reported that my ex-daughter-in-law is the lover of Cui Xiangdong, the mayor of Rainbow Town, Yunhu County, Qingshan City. Reported that He Tianming's wife is Cui Xiangdong's shady mother-in-law. Reported that I, He Tianming's granddaughter, She is the illegitimate daughter of Cui Xiangdong and Su Yan."
