Chapter 148 My Boyfriend
This question was too sudden.
So much so that neither Hu Li nor Lu Yao was prepared at all.
In other words, the other party never thought of giving time to prepare.
In fact, logically speaking, the two of them have been together for three or four months, and the love period cannot be said to have started to cool down, but... the "drug addiction" that was like a cat scratching if they didn't see each other for a day gradually began to dissipate and was replaced. It is a kind of habitual companionship and thoughtfulness.
And when two people are together, there is quite a lot to talk about.
For example, the two of them are in this "hidden" state.
Hu Li has expressed her guilt more than once because it was her personal reason.
And what she said to Lu Yao was: "I'm not ready yet."
Lu Yao didn't pursue it either.
Because he had already learned the true situation from Mr. Xu.
To be honest, he doesn’t know where the future lies for him and his girlfriend...
It's like drinking poison to quench thirst. We know that the longer some things are delayed, the more troublesome they will become, but...the two people who have no clue don't know what to do.
What's more, Hu Li's thoughts are more complicated.
My boyfriend is only eighteen.
It's too far to talk about the future... about marriage... about all kinds of things with an eighteen-year-old child.
So, no one said anything, no one said anything, and it has been like this until now.
But she didn't say anything, but the woman in front of her spoke directly.
And it's not just a question, it's an affirmation of "He is your boyfriend."
Obviously, in a sense, the other party has already grasped some situations.
So, here comes the problem.
Lu Yao's first reaction after being stunned was confusion, wondering how the other party knew.
Is it really possible to find out with great powers?
No wonder Hu Zhengyuan took the initiative to sit at this table.
No wonder the other party keeps bringing the topic to himself.
So...are you here to test it?
Not to mention Hu Li.
Her brain had lost the ability to think at this moment.
It's not that her mental capacity is low, but it's completely... This incident has touched her most fearful place.
What kind of person is Lu Yao?
Before becoming boyfriend and girlfriend, if someone asked her, she would answer: He is an excellent person.
And to hear the word "excellent" from her mouth is actually quite valuable.
Then, after they are together, if you ask her again, she will have many answers. For example:
"My boyfriend is a very good man."
"He's a genius."
"He is a person who is extremely focused on what he does."
"A man who is focused is the most handsome."
"Super gentle, so good, I love it!"
"Super strong, my mind goes blank every time."
"He is very cooperative with me. He has everything I want..."
"Fulfill all my fantasies about my boyfriend."
She has many words to praise her boyfriend, and through these compliments, she can see how much she likes or loves her boyfriend.
But the same thing is true: the deeper the love, the greater the fear.
Fearing a future where she would only have random thoughts when she was alone.
And among all the possibilities, the most feared... loss.
My boyfriend’s family is actually very happy. I don’t even know how many times the happiness index exceeds the average.
And her family situation...she is equally clear about it.
It is precisely because of the clarity that I become more fearful.
Because she never thought that her boyfriend would accept some... requests from her own side.
That's simply impossible.
It shouldn't be like this either.
Marriage and love are inherently matters between two people.
At least in a sense, two people should be allowed to decide for themselves, rather than influencing it through... some objective factors.
That's not right.
Very...wrong.
And once this "wrongness" became a necessary condition, then, after reacting with the objective environment, the result of the reaction formula obtained... she could only think of one possibility.
In other words, it has come around again.
The final result was what she least wanted to see... fear.
Fear struck.
My mind goes blank.
She was instantly overwhelmed by the scene that would make her cry even if she saw it in her dream.
It's like drifting in the endless deep sea.
Obviously...there is nothing around.
Nothing happened.
But...the dim and dark water still gave her an extremely cold feeling.
That is the fear that dare not look directly into the deep sea.
She didn't know what to say, because...she knew her aunt's character very well.
If it wasn't something confirmed, she wouldn't ask or say anything.
What should I do?
Instinctively, she looked to the side.
Ask your boyfriend for help.
But...Lu Yao didn't look at her.
In other words, I didn't care.
But someone saw her eyes.
Xu Ruochu.
When her aunt asked that question, she instinctively turned her head.
He looked at Sister Xiaoli.
I saw the helplessness and fear in her eyes.
At this time, she also heard Lu Yao’s words:
"Auntie, have you misunderstood?"
Xu Ruochu turned his head instinctively and saw a pair of eyes with some doubts:
"Me and Sister Li?...We are not the kind of relationship you think."
Be calm and sincere.
No flaws.
Xu Ruochu was stunned.
But after Lu Yao asked, the other party didn't answer, but looked him up and down.
Gradually he frowned.
"Young man, lying is not a good habit, you know?"
"..."
What she said was simple.
But... Lu Yao didn't know if he was delusional, from the frown on her face to the time she asked this question.
It was obviously very plain, but his instinct told him...it was best to tell the truth in his next sentence.
Otherwise...there will be big trouble.
His brows also wrinkled.
Obviously, he didn't like this kind of conversation very much.
It will remind him of the time he took a psychological test in his previous life.
The other person... smelled like one of his colleagues.
And...very strong.
But...he definitely won't tell the truth.
Because he knew very well what he and his girlfriend would face after telling the truth.
"Auntie. You really..."
"Lu Yao."
Suddenly, Xu Ruochu interrupted him.
Lu Yao instinctively turned his head.
But Xu Ruochu didn't look at her, but said politely:
"Auntie, please sit down. If you don't sit down, we don't dare to sit down either."
Hearing this, the woman nodded and pressed her hand again:
"Everyone, sit down. Yuanyuan, you sit down too."
She took the seat first, while Hu Zhengyuan returned to where he was sitting just now.
Then...
Everyone at this table heard Xu Ruochu’s words:
"Auntie, who did you hear from? Can you tell me? I want to see how he feels about it."
The woman frowned slightly and looked at Xu Ruochu again.
At this moment, the woman wearing a warm-colored sweater looked calm and calm.
His whole body exuded a kind of grace, and he spoke calmly:
"Because Lu Yao is my boyfriend. I don't like this person who is gossiping with you."
"!"
"?"
"????"
……
In the noisy banquet hall.
in front of the desktop.
After she said these words, the air fell into silent silence.
Except Xu Linlin and Xu Xiang.
"Ah? Sister, brother Lu Yao is your boyfriend?"
"...then don't we call him brother-in-law?"
"Xiao Xiang, brother and sister Lu Yao are not married yet."
"Oh, okay. How about calling me brother?"
"Yes."
Xu Ruochen's mouth twitched.
The fists placed under the table were clenched, loosened, and clenched again... But after his eyes saw Hu Li drinking from a cup and Lu Yao pouting, he quietly let go.
He's not stupid.
I know what my sister is doing.
She...is protecting Sister Li.
She has always been like this since she was a child.
No matter what trouble Sister Li got into, she would always protect her.
It has nothing to do with Lu Yao.
She will clean up the mess Sister Li made.
Even if the excuse is lame...
But...he couldn't say anything.
Because Brother Yuan is looking at him.
He could only shake his head helplessly, and said angrily to his younger brother and sister next to him:
"Stop talking! Don't tell your parents, do you hear me?"
And his words also proved from the side that what his sister said was... the truth.
And it's a fact he already knows.
At this time, Hu Zhengyuan's face finally showed a little surprise.
Seeing this, Xu Ruochen shrugged:
"Don't look at me like that, Brother Yuan, just look at my current status."
Hu Zhengyuan was startled...
Only then did he realize that Xiaochu was sitting next to Lu Yao in the seating order.
This...
Is the news false?
The woman frowned, looked at Xu Ruochu and asked:
"Xiaochu, you..."
"Auntie, who told you, can you tell me?"
Xu Ruochu asked again.
The woman shook her head calmly, as she should:
"No." "That's it...Okay. Auntie, we are just dating, and we haven't talked about marriage yet, so I don't want to make it public. Can you keep it a secret for us?"
"..."
Listening to Xu Ruochu's request, the woman did not agree directly, but looked at Hu Li again:
"Xiaoli, you went to Japan some time ago?"
"Uh..."
Hu Li opened his mouth and nodded subconsciously:
"Yeah."
Xu Ruochu also frowned, turned to look at Lu Yao, suddenly shook his head helplessly, and said to Hu Li:
"I'm sorry, my bad."
As she spoke, she looked at the woman:
"The three of us went together. Lu Yao has never been abroad, and we are dating secretly. I can't take him directly on the family plane, so I asked Sister Li to go with him. Auntie, you misunderstood."
Hearing this, the woman turned her head and looked at Lu Yao.
Lu Yao's face was full of embarrassment.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
As for Hu Li, his face was expressionless.
As for Xu Ruochen...
He hasn't finished eating yet, and is now picking up his chopsticks to hold the bowl again, eating his own bowl of happy noodles.
It seemed that...these four people all chose the most calm response to what Xu Ruochu said.
At this time, Hu Zhengyuan smiled bitterly:
"Girl, I really made a mistake."
The woman turned her head and glanced at him, but Hu Zhengyuan looked at Xu Ruochu and said helplessly:
"We all thought Xiaoli was in love. Especially since she has stopped going abroad recently and bought a house here. We all thought she was with Lu Yao and wanted to ask..."
"It's okay, Brother Zhengyuan."
A smile appeared on the corner of Xu Ruochu's mouth:
"I understand, wouldn't it be nice if the misunderstanding was resolved?"
"Ha, who says it's not...but why did you two hide it?"
"Love is a matter between two people, why should we publicize it?"
Xu Ruochu asked back.
"...Ha, yes."
Hu Zhengyuan smiled and nodded, and then the phone next to him rang.
The woman took out her mobile phone and took a look at it, then said:
"Xiaochu, your dad's finished eating."
"Auntie, we won't go there. Neither of us is ready."
"...Okay. Yuanyuan, let's go."
"Well, okay."
So, the two of them got up and left directly as others got up to see them off.
Before leaving, the woman took a deep look at Lu Yao.
But said nothing.
After the two left, Xu Linlin and Xu Xiang's eyes fell on Lu Yao again.
Both children had two big words written on their faces: Gossip.
But Lu Yao suddenly smiled bitterly.
As for the other three...
Not a word was spoken.
It was as if this never happened.
……
It's almost 7 o'clock, almost 8 o'clock.
The banquet is over.
"Let's go."
Xu Ruochu said.
"...Okay, sister, let Xiaoxiang and Linlin ride in your car?"
Hearing his brother's words, Xu Ruochu nodded:
"Yeah. Are you taking my car too?"
she asked Hu Li.
Hu Li nodded:
"Okay."
So, a group of people walked out of the banquet hall in silence, and after arriving at the parking lot, Xu Ruochu waved to Xiao Min:
"Take a taxi back yourself."
"Uh...Okay."
Xiao Min nodded and stepped aside.
Xu Ruochu drove the car himself, Hu Li sat in the passenger seat, and the two children went behind.
And Lu Yao also sat close to the golf course with Xu Ruochen.
"...Brother Run and the others are there, go say hello."
Hearing Mr. Xu's words, the silent Lu Yao nodded.
Golf relied on its flexible control to drive out of the parking space first and arrived at the steps of the hotel. Mr. Xu lowered the window:
"Brother Run, let's go first."
"Don't go, go, let's play."
"No, I have something to do at home later. Let's go."
"Bye bye Brother Run."
The two of them greeted You Run's group of people and then left.
Then, there was silence at a traffic light.
"...Let's have a cigarette."
While waiting for the traffic light to turn green, Lu Yao took the initiative to speak.
"Goodbye, it's easy to quit, why smoke?"
Mr. Xu rolled his eyes and nodded one to himself.
But instead of closing the window, he suddenly turned around and punched Lu Yao three times on the shoulder.
"My grass... hiss..."
"Your uncle's!"
He closed the window and cursed.
Lu Yao had a wry smile on his face.
He didn't even know what to say.
"Why the hell did my sister take the blame?"
"...It's over. Xu Linlin has such a big mouth. As long as she comes home, my mother and my father will definitely know about it."
"Hu Zhengyuan is so fucking fucked."
"Dog stuff..."
“I’ve watched him as a yin since I was a kid.”
"Yes, you have learned the formula now, right?"
"Grass!"
"I'm just saying that he is usually a piece of shit with five people and six people. What did he bring to this table today?"
"..."
When he cursed, Lu Yao remained silent.
He waited until he finished scolding and then said:
"Sister Chu dumped me...it shouldn't be big news, right?"
"Nonsense!"
Mr. Xu rolled his eyes:
"If I don't dump you, you still want to ride on two boats! ... No, it's three boats! You have another one outside! I will strangle you to death, you scumbag!!!!"
"Cough cough cough cough..."
This time, he really made a killing move and wished he could shake Lu Yao's head off.
Fortunately, the red light turned green and Lu Yao was saved.
The aggrieved Mr. Xu continued to drive.
The cold wind was blowing into the car, and he only took two or three puffs of a cigarette before throwing it out the window in a very poor manner.
After raising the car window again, I suddenly sighed...
"Alas."
"..."
"...I'm such a crow. If I had known I wouldn't tell you about Sister Li's family, I would have just watched you two make fun of me!...Oh!"
After hearing this, Lu Yao thought for a while and asked:
"What does Sister Li's aunt... do?"
"She? She is Brother Fan's immediate boss. I guess that before I came here today, I have checked out three generations of your family."
"Uh..."
"Otherwise, do you think it's so easy to get through today? If my sister doesn't come forward, believe it or not, when she comes to find you tomorrow, she will be able to find the call records, text messages, and surveillance videos of you and Sister Li on any occasion. Slap you in the face.”
"..."
Lu Yao's mouth twitched.
I couldn’t help but ask:
"Then..."
"...Don't worry, for now, you are safe. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because you are my sister's boyfriend... It's not easy for her to check, because to check you is to check my sister. Why should she check my sister?... Damn it, you three-legged scumbag! Go to hell! Go! ”
Buzz! !
Golf suddenly started to accelerate.
"Don't, don't, don't...Brother, dad! Let off the accelerator! It's wrong to let go, let go! Calm down! Holy shit!"
Lu Yao's face turned pale from the sudden pushing sensation on his back.
Fortunately there are few cars here.
"I don't have a son like you!"
"Father! Foster!!!! Wrong, wrong, wrong! Spare my life! What a mistake!"
"..."
The speed of the car slows down.
In front of the traffic light, Xu Ruochen covered her face speechlessly.
"How come it's like this...I'm really speechless."
"..."
The atmosphere returned to silence.
Until, there were two beeps outside the car window.
The two instinctively turned their heads.
In the night, the passenger window of the Maybach standing in the left-turn lane fell down.
Xu Ruochen also lowered the window.
Xu Ruochu, who was driving, frowned and looked at him:
"Crazy? Driving so fast?"
"...I'm educating your boyfriend! Friend!"
Xu Ruochen gritted his teeth.
Hu Li, the co-pilot, twitched the corner of his mouth.
He raised the window angrily.
"Sister, you are standing on the wrong road."
Before the car window rose, Xu Ruochu heard his brother's words.
She ignored it.
Soon, the green light.
Maybach went straight ahead.
In the passenger seat, Hu Li silently looked at the taillights of the car in front, his eyes blank.
Along the way, she didn't speak much.
The car drove directly to Tan Palace.
After parking the car in the parking space, Xu Ruochen and Lu Yao had not returned from their golf games.
Xu Linlin and Xu Xiang walked directly into the house, and after the two children opened the door and entered the house, Hu Li finally said the first sentence:
"Hide it for a while, okay?"
"Okay."
Xu Ruochu nodded without any hesitation.
Then, after thinking for a moment, she said:
"But...Linlin and Xiaoxiang probably can't hide it. My dad and mom will definitely know too."
"...What should we do?"
"Let nature take its course. I'll take care of it."
"...Hmm."
Hu Li nodded.
At this time, Xu Ruochu asked again:
"What are you going to do in the future?"
"I don't know."
Hu Li shook his head slightly, and suddenly smiled a little sadly:
"Who knows."
