Chapter 1708: Difficulties of the Wedding
He walked over. Qiao Xia's eyes were red and swollen. She looked very tired. Mu Liang said, "The dead cannot be resurrected. The living should cherish their lives. Xiao Qiao would not like to see you like this."
"Don't talk about big principles." Qiao Xia smiled bitterly, "Everyone understands the principles."
Everyone who seeks death does not not understand those big principles and the meaning of life. They are just too tired and too sad. They don't need people to talk about big principles. They just need to be quiet and heal their wounds. They just want to put down all their burdens.
"Xia Xia..."
"Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid. Give me some time and I'll get better." Qiao Xia said that if she was alone, without relatives, her sister died, and her parents passed away, she would almost go crazy. But now, she has a lovely son and a beloved husband. She can't go anywhere. In this life, the place where Mu Liang is is her home. "Don't worry about me. Go see Dudu."
Mu Liang sat beside her, hugged her from behind, and let her lean on his arms. "I'll be with you."
Qiao Xia didn't say anything. Mu Liang's arms were very warm, and her body felt much warmer, not so cold. Mu Liang suddenly said, "Have you ever regretted it? If you didn't know that Xiao Qiao was your sister, you might not be so sad today."
"I haven't regretted it." Qiao Xia said, "How could I regret it? It's my luck to say one more word to her and give her one more hug. If I could have known it earlier, it would be great."
Parting is indeed very sad, but reunion is a very happy thing.
Perhaps it's more precious in this way.
"I'm glad you never blamed me."
"I won't blame anyone." Qiao Xia said, "I know you're doing this for my own good. I've been really happy during the time that Xiao Qiao and I have known each other. Mu Liang, tell me the truth. Will you keep it from me in the future?"
"No, I won't keep anything about you from you." Mu Liang said.
"That's good."
This way, she felt at ease.
Lu Xiaojiu didn't fall asleep until late at night. She was busy in front of the computer. On the other side of the computer was another country, Iceland. Her fingers kept tapping on the computer. The blue screen of the computer reflected her face, which looked a little gloomy. Lu Xiaojiu took a deep breath and leaned back tiredly. Lu Bai knocked on the door and came in with a cup of chrysanthemum water.
"Have a cup of tea and take a rest." Lu Bai said.
Lu Xiaojiu smiled slightly, "It's so late, you've worked hard."
"I just finished the things at hand." Lu Bai sat beside her and helped her massage her shoulders, "You have been busy since you came back, are you done?"
"Busy." Lu Xiaojiu said, and she finally smiled after getting the last answer.
"It's okay to be busy. Harry just kept asking me where mommy is going. This kid is too clingy to you."
"He slept very well."
"Yeah, Ah Sheng sang a song to coax him to sleep. I'm really jealous."
"You can train Gordon well."
"Forget it, Gordon needs to be trained well and protect his brother in the future."
The two chatted casually, Lu Bai gently rubbed her shoulders, Lu Xiaojiu looked up and looked at him deeply, "Why don't you ask."
"Ask what?"
"Ask everything you want to ask."
"If I don't ask what you want to tell me, you will tell me." Lu Bai chuckled, "No It's unnecessary. If you don't want to tell me, then I shouldn't ask. "
"I don't mean to hide it from you."
"I know." Lu Bai patted her shoulder, "We have to be busy with Xiao Qiao's cremation tomorrow, go to bed early, don't stay up too late."
"Okay, go to bed first."
Lu Xiaojiu suddenly stood up, hugged Lu Bai's waist, and rubbed her cheek against his chest, very intimately. She heard Lu Bai's beating heart and was satisfied. Listening to his heartbeat and feeling his body temperature, she became very relieved and very happy. She gently wrapped her hands around his waist.
"Xiaobai, I love you."
"I love you too." Lu Bai said, lowering his head to kiss her on the lips. Lu Xiaojiu deepened the kiss, and their tongues intertwined. Lu Bai's big hands gently stroked her waist. It was soft to the touch, and his heart was also soft. He hugged Lu Xiaojiu, leaned against the desk, and kissed her more passionately. The breathing of both of them was disordered, especially Xiaojiu, who became very excited. Lu Bai chuckled, "Do you want to do it?"
"I'm still busy." She looked at the time and felt very sorry. "Just a kiss is enough to satisfy your craving."
Lu Bai tapped her nose, "Come back and sleep early."
"Okay."
Lu Xiaojiu sat in front of the computer and contacted Lina. Lina said, "Xiaojiu, don't worry, I'm already out to sea. I will definitely handle this matter properly, otherwise I will be beheaded."
"Be careful, disguise as a merchant ship, if you encounter an inspection, call me immediately, I will be on the phone 24 hours a day."
"Yes!"
Lu Xiaojiu hung up the phone, feeling a little sad in her heart. Tomorrow she will deal with Xiao Qiao's funeral.
There are still three hours until dawn.
But she has too many things to prepare.
I don’t know how the Anderson family will calm down this turmoil.
This time the public opinion is very unfriendly to them. They will face a very big crisis. Whether they can fight a good battle depends on the news tomorrow morning.
Early the next morning, the White House press officer announced that the president would explain yesterday's wedding, and invited many media reporters to hold the ceremony directly at the White House.
Wesley was dressed neatly early in the morning. His sunken eyes looked like he had been up all night. He was in good spirits and there was nothing visible on his face. The Vice President just shouted like a sweetheart and prepared Wesley's favorite breakfast early in the morning. Lilia asked, "How was your rest?"
"Very good." Wesley's voice was hoarse.
"Just rest well."
Riley handed him the press release, "Here are the things you will say and do during the press conference. Take note of it."
"Why are you in a hurry? We'll wait until the child has eaten." Chloe said, smiling kindly, "Wesley, ignore him and eat first."
"It's okay, let me take a look." Wesley took the document and flipped through it, frowned slightly, and looked at Lilia, "This is the best solution. If you object, you can give me a suitable explanation, a If you can convince me with a suitable reason, I will replace it immediately.”
Chloe said, "Wesley, your mother and I made this plan together. Xiao Qiao is dead. This matter can be easily settled. We will not smear her reputation or seriously injure her. This manuscript is just a little polished and a little lie, it’s harmless, what do you think?”
They all spoke carefully, fearing to hurt Wesley. Lilia said calmly, "If you have any opinions, you can put them forward now."
Don't talk nonsense at the press conference because the impact is really cute.
Riley said from the sidelines, "In the latest poll, John's electoral votes have plummeted. The public opinion rating has dropped from 41% to 27%. This is a very serious issue."
Even if there was a small riot, it never had such a serious impact, and it dropped overnight. This impact is far-reaching, and no one can tell what impact it will have in the future. Therefore, the best way is Just resolve it quickly.
Wesley said, "I don't have a problem with that."
The elders in the family breathed a sigh of relief. As the prosecutor general, Chloe looked very kind, "Wesley, are you really not reluctant at all?"
"No."
So cold and so sad.
However, I understand.
"The White House will hold a press conference first and take a look at the news from the White House."
At eight o'clock, the president held a press conference on time to elaborate on the wedding. A reporter sharply asked, "President, did the vice president support and establish the human weapons program for his own selfish desires? His daughter-in-law is Will human weapons have any impact on his election?”
The president said, "First of all, when the team was formed to develop human weapons, it was not issued by Vice President Anderson alone, but by the tripartite alliance of the Department of Defense and the White House. We all feel that technology is the mainstream and trend of future warfare, and we need to develop it. Robots, we also successfully developed human weapons back then. They are no different from normal people, but they always have very high combat effectiveness. Their adaptability on the battlefield will also be enhanced. Their physical fitness is dozens of times that of ours, and their wounds can heal well. The fast movement speed is a great advantage for ground warfare, so this is the main reason for our research and development. The original intention is good. The second question is that the vice presidential election is a matter for the vice president, and Wesley is the one. There is no conflict between the two in Wesley’s choice, and I don’t see any impact.”
The reporter asked, "President, it is said that the Vice President's family accepted Xiao Qiao despite knowing that he was involved in human weapons. Are they planning to use Xiao Qiao for ulterior motives?"
The President said, "Reporter, what does this have to do with the Vice President? Marriage is a matter between two people. The marriage between Wesley and Xiao Qiao is a matter between them. It's unfair for you to say that."
The reporter asked, "The vice president's popularity continues to decline. Who do you think will win the next presidential election?"
The president said, "The people of the United States will make a good choice about who will be elected president of the United States. You all have the right to vote, and the president of the United States is elected by you."
The reporter asked, "Do you think human weapons have nothing to do with the vice president?"
"I think that everything should not be taken at face value. As far as I know, there are difficulties in this wedding."
Reporter: "What's the reason? Does the president know anything? Can you tell us? Now it's widely spread outside."
