Although the atmosphere was serious, everyone's face changed slightly. The corners of their mouths
twitched and they tried not to laugh. After a long time, Charlie seemed to realize something. He smiled
awkwardly and said, "Didn't I say that? He's over twenty years older than her. "
"If you take over the Xu group, it will be a disaster sooner or later." Staring at Charlie, Brody couldn't
help saying something sarcastic. Charlie moved his body and said with a dark face, "Mom, we are
talking about Elsa's marriage. Be serious."
Mrs. Xu glared at Charlie and then loosened her grip on his ear. She turned her head and stared at Bob
angrily. She said impolitely, "I only have one daughter. Anyway, I don't agree with you. Let's not talk
about anything else. Age is a problem."
With a calm look on his face, Bob didn't say anything. Mr. Xu, who was standing next to him, heaved a
long sigh, seriously looked at him and said, "You two are not right for each other at all. I don't care what
happened before, but it's all over now!"
His words were very light, but they made people feel an irresistible dignity. Turning his head to look at
Elsa, Brody said, "Elsa, life is not a game. You are not a child now."
When she heard Brody's words, a wave appeared on her dull face. She looked at him sadly and said
weakly, "Now you finally know that I'm not a child anymore. I thought you always treated me as a child.
"
With a complicated look on his face, Brody sighed and said coldly, "For your future, I won't support you
to marry such a person. Elsa turned her head and didn't say anything. Bob's face changed. He made
up his mind and stared at her father. He said firmly, "I know what you fear most now is not the age
difference between us, but our identity. Yes, I used to kill a lot of people, but I can face myself. I am a
murderer. How noble are you. Have you ever done anything illegal or colluded with government or
business? Who dares to say that he is innocent? " At the same time, the look on Bob's face suddenly
became a little cold, and at the moment when everyone was stunned. "Of course, except for Elsa, she
is just a child. She knows nothing."
Seeing this, Charlie added, "You really treat her as a child."
Then, there was another silence. Bob continued coldly, "About me, I can face myself. I've paid off all
the charges against the law. Now, all I know is that I want to marry her and make her happy. "
"Stop it. I won't agree." Mrs. Xu interrupted her angrily.
There was another dead silence, which was unusual. Elsa, who was standing beside Bob, had always
been like an outsider. Looking at their every move and behavior, she always gave people a sense of
death on her face, and it was difficult to associate the word "Hope" with her.
Looking at Mrs. Xu, and then at Mr. Xu, then at Brody and the indifferent Charlie, a sense of
helplessness attacked his heart. Finally, Bob lowered his head, as if he was pinning his last hope on
Elsa. Elsa raised her head feebly and took a look at him indifferently. The corners of her mouth
twitched imperceptibly, and then she looked at Mr. Xu and said indifferently, "Dad, don't quarrel with
each other. I want to marry him."
Although Elsa said in an indifferent tone, everyone was shocked except for Charlie. They looked at her
worriedly, as if they were afraid that she would think of something.
After a long time, Brody looked at Elsa seriously and said, "Do you think you will be happy with him? Or
can he make you happy? Have you forgotten all the things happened in the past? "
Although others didn't understand what he meant, they knew each other well. When he said these
words in a suggestive tone, Elsa panicked for no reason. Because... If he had to tell Elsa what had
happened in the past, he would really be unforgivable, especially at this moment. In fact, the reason
why he came here today was to make trouble, and he didn't want him to get what he wanted.
Elsa looked at Brody coldly and sneered, "Happiness? Of course I will be happy. He will be very good
to me, very good, and will never hurt me. Apart from you, he will also be obedient to me. No matter
what I want, he will give me, just as you did to me when I was a child. I want shells, and you will pick
them up for me regardless of anything. If I want to go to the seaside, you can take me to the seaside. If
I want to swim, you can teach me how to swim... "
Brody's expression became more complicated. He looked at Elsa apologetically and said, "Elsa, don't
do that. You know what I mean. Do you really think you will be happy to marry such a person?"
Elsa suddenly looked at Brody and said firmly, "Yes. I will be happy! "
"You don't need to worry about that. I'll give her everything she wants. She must be very happy," said
Bob, taking her hand.
"Well... In fact, I support them... "
With a stern look on his face, Elsa's father said, "You should know that you are not a child now. You
have to be responsible for what you have said and done one day."
"Dad, please don't say that. I know what I'm doing. Stop arguing. I'm about to get married." Elsa said to
her father seriously.
Mrs. Xu looked at Elsa with a distressed face and said hesitantly, "Elsa, if you know what you are
doing, you shouldn't have said that now. If you know what you are doing, you should know how absurd
your marriage is."
Mrs. Xu, who was about to say something harshly, softened her tone when she saw Elsa's pale face.
She tried her best to make her tone sound sincere instead of blaming. With a smile on her pale face,
Elsa said, "Mom, it's okay. I know what I'm doing. I like him, and I'm going to marry him. I'm sorry, but
you can rest assured. Well, I will take good care of myself. "
Elsa's words made everyone flabbergasted. At this time, the same thought almost flashed through their
minds, namely, this kind of obedient words should not be said from Elsa's mouth. It could be said that
she was rebellious, arrogant, and had never been so obedient before. Now she suddenly became
gentle and soft, which made everyone a little surprised. They were not used to it, and even doubted her
true thoughts at the moment.
For a long time, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was silent.
Finally, after a long time, Elsa continued, "I'm sorry. Marriage is my lifetime business. I have the right to
make decisions by myself. I want to marry him."
Looking down at her pale face, Bob breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that what she said had worked!
All of a sudden, Charlie stood up from the sofa, yawned and said, "Since you have said so, it's settled,
ah... Don't worry too much. She is an adult and has her own thoughts. "
All of them looked at Charlie almost at the same time. As if nothing had happened, he said in a gloating
tone, "Well... In fact, Elsa didn't have to hurt others after she got married. What a happy thing! At least,
after she gets married, I don't have to look after her every day. "
Charlie's words made other people's faces darken again. Looking around, Elsa just felt bored. At last,
she frowned and said indifferently, "Thank you. If you are willing to arrange the marriage, it doesn't
matter. Anyway, it's just a wedding." *
