C333 There Was Nowhere in Life That Was Not Melodramatic
"Grandpa, are you looking for me?" After standing there for a while, Old Nazhi was still staring at the oil painting. He did not realize that she had come in. Hai Xiaomin asked tentatively.
Old Nazhi seemed to have woken up from a dream. He slowly turned his head around. "You are here? Take a seat. "
There was a sofa chair opposite him. Hai Xiaomin bowed and walked over to sit down. No matter how bad the old man's attitude towards her was, she still respected him very much.
Old Nazhi said, "You have coffee in front of you. If you like sugar or milk, you can add it yourself. "
Hai Xiaomin looked down at the coffee table. Old Nazhi had prepared for her to come. In addition to the coffee, there was a black folder in front of Old Nazhi. She held the coffee and smiled warmly. "Thank you. "
"I heard that your family is in the gardening business?" Old Nazhi picked up the coffee and took a sip. He seemed to mention it casually.
Hai Xiaomin was slightly stunned. Did the old man specially investigate her background?
If he had investigated, then he should also know about her family's bankruptcy.
. . . "Yes. " Hai Xiaomin's palm caressed the coffee cup's outer wall as she felt slightly uneasy.
"Miss Hai, have you ever thought about what your future life would be like if you did not meet Qiao and follow the original path?" Old Nazhi's old voice was deep and magnetic.
He did not meet Ling Yao. . . What kind of life was she supposed to have?
Old Nazhi's question stunned Hai Xiaomin. She had indeed never thought about this question before, but since Mr. Nazhi had asked, she might as well think about it now.
"I should finish my studies first, work hard for my career for a few years, then marry a suitable man and have children. . . " When Hai Xiaomin spoke of these, there was a subtle feeling of unfamiliarity. These were the life trajectory of her plan before she met Ling Yao. It was ordinary and simple, but inadvertently, she had deviated from the route and went further and further away.
All the variables were Ling Yao!
This man had completely changed her life.
"You mean a suitable man?" Old Nazhi interrupted her, "I don't know how you understand the word 'suitable'. "
Suitable. . . Hai Xiaomin's heart sank slightly.
"If my understanding is correct, 'suitable' means that both parties are similar in every aspect. What do Miss Hai think?" Facing the bright sunlight outside the window, a smile appeared on Old Nazhi's face. His skin was so white that it seemed to be glowing.
However, this smile did not make Hai Xiaomin feel any warmth. As long as she was not stupid, she could hear something fishy from Old Nazhi's words. He seemed to have set a trap for her, and now she realized that it was already too late to withdraw.
Since that was the case, then she could only do as she was told!
"Grandfather is trying to say, me and Ling. Qiao and I are not suitable?" He had been used to the name Ling Yao, so he could not change it.
He did not expect Hai Xiaomin to point this out by herself. This surprised Old Nazhi a little. He thought that Hai Xiaomin would not be able to recognize reality and would want to go around in circles with him.
Hai Xiaomin became passive and continued to say, "Actually, after getting married, you are not the first person to say this to me. I have also questioned myself before. Do I really deserve him?"
Old Nazhi,. . . ""
"Yes, I am not worthy of him. " Hai Xiaomin smiled and said this result, but the corners of her mouth still showed a slight bitterness.
She was still unable to face the gap between her and him very well. But it did not matter. She could work hard to chase after him. One day, she would stand by his side with a clear conscience.
"Since you know your own limitations, you should make the right choice. "
"The right choice?" Under Hai Xiaomin's puzzled gaze, Old Nazhi pointed at the black folder with his chin, indicating for her to open it.
Hai Xiaomin took the folder and what entered her eyes was a complete Mandarin agreement - Divorce Agreement!
Mr. Nazhi actually found her and directly took out the divorce agreement for her to sign!
Hai Xiaomin was so angry that she almost laughed. Why did he think that she would sign it? Was it also because his Nazhi family was born with confidence that far exceeded ordinary people?1
She closed the folder and put it back. Her beautiful face turned cold, "I won't sign it!"
"Don't you plan to look at the terms of the agreement?" Old Nazhi raised his eyebrows.
"I believe that in order to separate Ling Yao and me, the terms grandpa will give will be very attractive, but unfortunately, I am afraid I will disappoint you. " In order to let the little slut outside leave her junior, the parents didn't hesitate to spend a large sum of money. It was ridiculous for her to encounter such a thing!
Before she got engaged to Qiao Tianqi, Hai Xiaomin had once thought that if she fell in love with a poor kid in the future, would her parents also spend money to chase him away? That was why life was really full of dog blood!
"Little girl, people also learn to be content. If you are too greedy, one day you will get yourself killed. " Old Nazhi's expression was calm.
What did he mean?
Mr. Nazhi thought she was playing a game of playing cat and mouse, raising the price on the spot?
That's right, Ling Yao's value was not limited to just the LY. Ordinary people would not give up watermelons to pick up sesame seeds. No wonder Old Nazhi misunderstood her like this.
"When I met him, his name wasn't Qiao Nazhi. When I fell in love with him, his name wasn't Qiao Nazhi either. If the wealth and status he possessed became a factor that prevented us from being together, I would rather he had nothing, just an ordinary person! Grandpa, I hope you understand this point! "
Old Nazhi silently stared at Hai Xiaomin. She looked into his eyes without any fear. Those clear eyes were filled with seriousness. He found a unique charm on her. He believed that with his grandson's eyesight, he would not miss it. This charm was indeed very attractive to young men. No wonder Joe fell in love with her.
But she was still a child after all. Her thoughts were always so naive.
"Love? In the future, you will realize that the love you were so proud of was not even a fart!" Old Nazhi did not hide the mockery in his eyes. His hand that was holding the coffee cup turned white due to the force.
Hai Xiaomin was shocked. This respectable senior actually cursed in front of her!
"If grandpa has nothing else to do, I will leave first. " Leaving the topic of Ling Yao, she felt that there was no need for them to continue talking.
"Okay. " Old Nazhi responded coldly. When Hai Xiaomin got up and left, he added, "I hope you won't regret the choice you made today. "
“. . . ” At that moment, Hai Xiaomin thought of many things in the past.
After coming out of the room, Hai Xiaomin was absent-minded and did not walk very far when she saw Ling Yao walking over from the other end of the corridor.
Seeing that Hai Xiaomin was fine, Ling Yao's worries that he had rushed over were quietly smoothed out.
"Ling Yao, why are you here?" Hai Xiaomin went up to him and asked in surprise.
"Nothing. I happened to pass by here. Did you just come out from grandpa's place?" Ling Yao stroked Hai Xiaomin's arm. His eyes passed her and looked at the tightly shut door.
"Yes, I had a cup of coffee with grandpa. " Hai Xiaomin pretended to be relaxed and smiled. She did not want Ling Yao to know about the divorce agreement. She wanted to increase the conflict between him and her grandpa.
