Chapter 557 - 558: You Have No Way Out
"Why?" Di Xiaxia asked back.
Di Jinxuan rolled her eyes helplessly, "Do you really need to ask that! We’re family, we see each other every day. You two date and then suddenly decide to break up because things aren’t working out, did you even consider how this would affect the family atmosphere?"
Di Xiaxia fell silent.
Di Jinxuan glared at Di Xiaxia irritably, "Fourth sister, don’t blame me for speaking harshly. You should have just rejected him from the start. Now that you’ve agreed to try it out, there’s no way for you to back out, you know?"
"I know." Di Xiaxia replied, "But... but I did say I want to reject him, but Big Brother won’t accept it!"
What could she do, she too was feeling desperate!
Di Jinxuan scratched her head, thinking, ’Does she need Di Mingzhe’s approval to turn him down!’
She was truly flabbergasted at Di Xiaxia’s emotional intelligence and IQ!
But on second thoughts, who was Di Mingzhe?
He was the Vice President, a man of supreme power!
Given his strong confession and his twenty-year-old affection, he probably never considered letting go.
He definitely won’t allow Di Xiaxia to reject him.
If Di Xiaxia had indeed rejected Di Mingzhe last night, their cheerful family supper tonight might not have happened.
Who knows what uproar it would have created!
Luckily Di Xiaxia didn’t reject him, or else she might have been in real trouble!
Anyway, once Big Brother decides something, he definitely won’t accept refusal or turning back, that’s for sure.
They are a family, so if things go wrong it could genuinely hurt their relationships.
If it’s not handled well, the family’s happiness will be shadowed, and everyone will feel there’s something repressed in their hearts.
Their family has always been very happy and carefree.
Firstly, they were financially well-off, their parents were madly in love with each other, and the three older brothers were all excellent in their own ways.
For their family, there was basically nothing to worry about.
If there had to be any concern, it would be about their love lives, in other words, their lifetime matrimonial matters.
So, this predicament was incredibly difficult.
For Di Mingzhe, the feelings that he’d been hiding for twenty years were most likely due to just that.
He simply didn’t want a gloomy sadness looming over their originally happy family life.
None of the family members were hurting, only he was.
If the third brother was also in love with the fourth sister, then Big brother would have probably made up his mind to watch the two of them being happy together.
But now that the third brother has found love with Gu Qibao and the two are so admirable together, big brother probably couldn’t restrain himself and confessed.
As the eldest brother, he never said anything but he actually performed better than anyone else.
Thinking about it now, she felt sorry for him.
Merely because he didn’t want to disrupt the harmonious family atmosphere, he concealed his feelings for twenty long years.
Now that he’s finally voiced it out, how could he possibly allow Di Xiaxia to refuse, to escape?
Big brother has done more than enough. Few men in this world would go as far as he did for their family and the person they love.
It’s no exaggeration to say that he’s making a personal sacrifice.
The problem now clearly lies with the fourth sister.
Di Jinxuan stayed silent for a long time, then finally stopped playing around. She looked at Di Xiaxia seriously and said earnestly, "Fourth sister, there are some things that I want to say, it’s my point of view and feelings. I don’t know if I should tell you, but I hope you’ll bear with me and listen."
Di Jinxuan’s seriousness made Di Xiaxia a little flustered, but she still nodded, "Say whatever you want to say."
