A different kind of love of the dumb scholar

Chapter 189 Excluded (Part [-])
"Qianqian, I'm your father, you, you don't have to be so alien to me. I know, I was really... sorry for you, and I don't expect your forgiveness. Don't say you don't forgive me, even I can't help it Forgive yourself, I just hope you can give me a chance to make amends."

Finally got the words out.

Shui Xiao felt relieved.

I don't ask her to forgive, just to make myself feel better.

After listening to his words, Shui Qianqian's face did not fluctuate, "You don't need to apologize, and I don't need you to make up for anything. Originally, people live in this world, and no one is born to owe anyone. You gave me life, only this one thing That's enough to make me grateful."

The truth is this truth, but Shui Qianqian felt inexplicably blocked when he said this.

She also couldn't explain why she felt this way, she had never felt this way before... No, maybe she had, but that was before she was nine years old.

Hearing her words, Shui Xiao didn't know how to describe his mood.

He really wants to cry right now.

What on earth did he do to force his daughter into this...

She is only 17 years old!

Shui Xiao's eyes were still blushing uncontrollably, and she didn't know what to say for a long time.

Shui Qianqian ignored the smack in her heart just now, and returned to the subject: "No matter what, you helped us by attacking the Lin family first, and we should be grateful. Now I don't know one thing, how did you do it? Even the Bai family may not be able to make the Lin family have such a big problem overnight."

What she asked later, Shui Xiao didn't hear clearly at all, but only noticed her sentence "helped us".

we……

No matter who we are referring to, it shows that in her cognition, his father is not her own.

She automatically excluded him.

Maybe she didn't pay attention, but she just said it unintentionally, but it's just this unintentional, the most real and deadly.

Pain and regret are not enough to describe his current mood.

This is retribution.

Taking a deep breath, his throat was a little choked, "What did you ask just now? I didn't hear clearly."

"How did you do it about the Lin family?" Shui Qianqian asked.

Her expression really didn't change, but for some reason, Bai Jing, who was sitting opposite her, felt that she was not feeling well at this moment.

Moreover, she still doesn't know why she feels uncomfortable.

Because in her opinion, she and Shui Xiao have no other connection other than blood relationship, let alone any relationship.

She doesn't hate or complain, she just appreciates them for bringing her into this world.

This is not treating them as parents at all, but because of that gratitude, she still respects both Shui Xiao and Han Yanyu.

Bo Jing didn't know how he could understand, maybe if it was him, he would do the same?

He wasn't sure.

He can't be so rational, can't make the distinction so clearly.

If he didn't have any complaints, he wouldn't quarrel with his father every time he couldn't speak a few words, and he wouldn't care about his father's attitude towards him.

Just like that time at the school gate, his father reprimanded him for his grades as soon as he opened his mouth, instead of asking him if he had lunch or saying a word of concern, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Qianqian must have been so disappointed in her parents.

There may still be a subconscious desire for parental care, but she has actively rejected it.

She is more distressed like this.

Bo Jing just wanted to treat her a little better in the future, and make up for the love she lost over the years little by little.

Shui Xiao answered her with complicated feelings.

Said that he also inadvertently knew that the Wu family in Ningcheng wanted to expand their business to Jiangcheng.

The Wu family originally wanted to use the strength of the Lin family to develop into Jiangcheng, but they did not expect that the Lin family would have an illegitimate child, which would shake Lin Yue's position as the heir.

In addition, it was rumored that the youngest of the Bai family, who was going to marry the Lin family, got very close to a girl recently, and caused troubles in the Bai family because his stepmother offended that girl.

This shows that the marriage between the Lin family and the Bai family may fall through.

Without the help of the Bai family, the Lin family would be the same in Jiangcheng, and there would be very limited ways to help the Wu family in the future.

Adding all these together, the Wu family had the idea of ​​moving the Lin family.

As for the news about the Lin family, Shui Xiao certainly didn't find out in a day or two.

It was also because he had inadvertently learned about some confidential issues in the Lin family's business before, but he and the Lin family did not have any competitive relationship, and he hadn't paid much attention to it.

Until that day when the Shui family had a dinner and Shen Yun's incident was revealed, his guilt towards Shui Qianqian was aroused a little bit, and knowing that Shui Qianqian and Bai Jing were close, and thinking of hearing that the Lin family and the Bai family had plans to marry, he decided to I got someone to check it out.

Take precautions before they happen.

Since Bai Jing is so important to Shui Qianqian, Shui Xiao thought that if the Lin family really caused damage, they would not be helpless to fight back.

Unexpectedly, just after finding out, Lin Yue spread the photos of Shui Qianqian and Bai Jing.

To be able to let the photos sweep all the high schools in Jiangcheng in a short period of time is definitely not possible without any strength.The first thing Shui Xiao suspected was the Lin family.

Lin Yue was about to put the blame on Yan Chenchen.

But both Lin Yue and Yan Chenchen are daughters of the Lin family.

From starting his own business to his current position, Shui Xiao is not without means.Knowing that it was related to the Lin family, what he thought of was not to teach the children who did this, but to solve the problem fundamentally.

So I contacted the Wu family.

The Wu family came forward.

After all, the Lin family is powerful, and public opinion will soon be suppressed by the Lin family.

Originally, to deal with a big family like the Lin family, only the overwhelming tendency of public opinion is useful. If the direction of public opinion is biased by the Lin family, even if the evidence is sufficient, at most it will cause the Lin family a little loss, and it is impossible to completely solve the Lin family to prevent future troubles.

So Shuixiao invested a lot of money in the direction of public opinion.

It was at the time when Shen Yun's incident came to light that the Shui family had to deal with various crises and couldn't mobilize so much funds, so they sold most of the shopping malls that had been in business for many years in the shortest possible time.

Fortunately, there was Shen Yun's matter as a cover, and others only thought that Shui Xiao could not withstand the impact of the negative news, so he sold the mall.

Shui Xiao thought that others would not find out about the Lin family, but never thought that Shui Qianqian would know.

In fact, the people Bai Jing was looking for were able to find Shui Xiao so quickly, which was originally the direction Bai Jing gave them at the beginning.

After knowing what happened to the Lin family, apart from the obvious Wu family, he first suspected that it had something to do with the people around Shui Qianqian.

But no matter whether the Feng family or the Xiao family are in the capital, and he and Shui Qianqian have just returned from the capital, the speed of those two families will not be faster than them.

Excluding those two, the range narrows.

Apart from the Han family, there were only the Zhu family and Shui Xiao who Han Yanyu remarried.

It was impossible for the Han family. When they met that afternoon, neither Han Yanyang nor Fang Qian knew who was behind the scenes who spread the photos.

As for the Zhu family, it is even more impossible.

Because of Shui Qianqian, Bai Jing also paid more attention to the Zhu family.

The Zhu family is more focused on education. It is not easy to find out so many business problems of the Lin family.And recently, I heard that Han Yanyu is not doing well in Zhu's house.

At a time like this, how could the Zhu family put in so much effort for Han Yanyu?
Besides, it was impossible for Han Yanyu to do this for Shui Qianqian.

The scope narrowed again, only Shui Xiao remained.

"That's how it happened, it's all a coincidence." Shui Xiao didn't mean to ask for credit, and when he even talked about it, he tried his best to act like he didn't do it for Shui Qianqian, in case Shui Qianqian would thank him again and say yes Such words as his love.

"So that's how it is." Shui Qianqian finally understood.

She said that with the strength of the Shui family, it was impossible for her to have the energy to deal with the Lin family, which was already much stronger when she was in a state of desperation.

It turned out that there were so many coincidences.

But anyway...

Shui Qianqian looked at Shui Xiao who still looked guilty.

In any case, he did so much for her.

"Thank you for doing so much. In fact, you don't need to spend so much financial and material resources to help me. The Lin family and I can handle it."

She and Bai Jing...

Bai Jing became her relative, but his father became an outsider.

Shui Xiao was a little sad and sour.

"The Wu family is bound to win this time against the Lin family. I actually didn't do much. At most, I gave the things I found to the Wu family and did some public opinion guidance at the beginning. Don't mention this matter once it's over. .But Bai Jing, also lives here?"

Obvious change of subject.

But this is what Shui Xiao wants to ask most now.

When he entered the door just now, he saw several pairs of men's shoes in the shoe cabinet. At first glance, it was not Xiao Heng's style, so he guessed that Bai Jing might also live here.

Before he had time to think about it, he saw Shui Qianqian coming out of the kitchen, and Shui Xiao temporarily forgot about it.

Shui Qianqian glanced at him, then nodded, "Yeah." She didn't feel guilty at all, with a completely natural expression.

In fact, it was only natural for Shui Qianqian that Bai Jing lived here.

In her eyes, compared to spending more time alone with Bai Jing, what she cares more about is that in this way, Bai Jing no longer has to live alone in an empty apartment.

She took it for granted, and knowing that she had no right to question her about anything, Shui Xiao moved her lips, and finally said, "I'll stay tonight too."

"You don't have to say hello to me. Although Grandpa gave me the old house in his will, the old house was in your name before me, so seriously, this house is still yours now, and I'm just staying overnight. "

Shui Xiao: "..." Hearing these words, his nose couldn't help sour.

"Your room has been kept, but it hasn't been cleaned for a long time. You have to tidy it up yourself."

Shui Xiao: "..." Feeling guilty, sad and heartbroken.

She didn't seem to think about tidying his room at all.

Here at Shui Qianqian, he does all his own things, just like when Xiao Heng came here, he cleaned up the room by himself.

Looking at it this way, Bo Jing was the exception.

When Bai Jing, who was still feeling sorry for Shui Qianqian, heard her telling Shui Xiao to tidy up the room by herself, the corners of her lips raised uncontrollably.

Regarding tidying up the room, Xiao Heng complained about the differential treatment more than once.

She regards him as more important than her relatives, or, in her heart, he is already her dearest person...

Thinking of this, Bai Jing was extremely happy.

"What about lodging? No matter who owns this house, it is your home. Don't say such things in the future."

Shui Qianqian was silent.

Take a look at him.

Shui Xiao avoided her gaze and got up, "I'm going to tidy up the room, you guys go to bed early."

"There are instant noodles in the kitchen. If you are hungry, you can cook them yourself. We still have to read for a while. If you are tired, you can go to bed early." Shui Qianqian used a narrative tone, as if she suddenly thought of it and then mentioned it, without any means to care.

But it didn't sound like that to Shui Xiao.

She remembered that he hadn't had dinner...

She really doesn't complain, and she really doesn't regard him as a relative anymore, but she still cares about whether he has eaten or not.

only……

"You guys just eat instant noodles at home?" I'm growing up, how can I eat instant noodles?
That's right, there is no adult in this family, how did she live alone before?
Shui Xiao didn't dare to think about it at all.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was unforgivable.

Shui Qianqian understood what he meant, and shook her head, "No, when we don't go out to eat, we will cook by ourselves, and the instant noodles are prepared for Xiao Heng's supper."

self catering……

The more Shui Xiao heard it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

When I looked at the past again, the TV had been tuned to the news channel, and the sound was very low.

After talking in a low voice, the two people sitting on the sofa each picked up a book and began to read.

Glancing over, they saw that both of them were holding original English classics.

It was a rare weekend for them to be so self-disciplined at the age of 17, and what they read was the original English classics that he couldn't understand.

Forget about Bai Jing, it's not surprising that Shi's tutor can be so good, but Qianqian...

How on earth did she grow up like this?The process of her growing up so well, he, the father, did not participate in the slightest.

With difficulty in my heart, I turned around and tidied up the room.
