Chapter 64: Meet the in-laws
Ready to be humiliated, Li Manxing stepped into Han Chenyi's house as if he were dead.
On the way to follow Han Chenyi, she was a little apprehensive at first, but the closer she got to it, the calmer she became.
Different from the villa where Han Chenyi lives alone, this is also a three-story villa, but the first floor is a very large and exquisite courtyard, and several fields have been reclaimed on both sides of the road, but it is winter, and the fields are bare, and there is nothing.
There are several trees planted on both sides of the yard, which are also bare.
It is foreseeable that when the spring flowers bloom, this small courtyard will definitely be thriving.
The door was obviously a fingerprint lock, but Han Chenyi did not open the lock directly, but knocked on the door.
Li Manxing looked at him strangely, could it be that he hadn't recorded his fingerprints? He, didn't he go home? He didn't regard this place as his home, or did the people who lived here not treat him as his family?
No matter what the reason was, Li Manxing's relaxed mood suddenly became heavy, and she was afraid that the more she knew, the more reluctant she would be to leave.
"Chenyi is back?" A gentle female voice sounded inside the door, and then, Li Manxing saw Han Chenyi's stepmother, Deng Shulan.
Tall, slim, slightly fat, a decent long skirt to cover this up well.
With his hair coiled and his face painted with light makeup, he looks more and more noble.
"Aunt Deng. Han Chenyi greeted Deng Shulan and dodged away, so that Li Manxing could see Deng Shulan clearly, and Deng Shulan saw Li Manxing.
Deng Shulan saw Li Manxing, took two steps forward and walked out of the door, with a smile on her face, she smiled, and immediately changed from noble to kind, and the makeup on her face became soft.
"This is Manxing, oops, it's beautiful. โ
"Hello Auntie. Li Manxing greeted with a smile.
The smile on Deng Shulan's face deepened, and she promised to let her and Han Chenyi into the house.
"Come in, come in. โ
Han Chenyi took Li Manxing's hand and led her in.
Deng Shulan followed behind them, also constantly looking at Li Manxing.
A slightly emaciated, well-dressed, clean girl.
"Brother. โ
As soon as she walked into the house, the girl standing inside made a sound uncomfortably, and when she saw Li Manxing behind Han Chenyi, she called in a low voice: "Sister-in-law." โ
When Li Manxing heard this "sister-in-law", his face froze, he smiled embarrassedly, and nodded slightly at her.
Sister-in-law? Do you still call Han Chenyi brother? It turns out that he also has a younger sister?
But looking at the little girl's uncomfortable appearance, I'm afraid the relationship is not very good.
This little girl looks like she is twelve or thirteen years old, I don't know if it's Li Manxing's illusion, I always feel that she is a little afraid of Han Chenyi.
Li Manxing lowered his head, forget it, don't be curious about his family affairs, whether it is harmonious or discordant, it has nothing to do with her, she is not a virgin!
Deng Shulan came up and urged them to go in, as if she didn't see the girl's discomfort.
There were so many noises in the room, Han Yaodong had already heard the voice, originally, when he heard the news that Han Chenyi had obtained the certificate with Li Manxing, he was angry, and later asked Deng Shulan what was going on, Deng Shulan knew that Han Chenyi was married.
At that time, she was sad, she felt that she had failed so much, and after marrying for so many years, she had made a family like this.
"Yaodong, let him be! He got married secretly, he must be afraid that you would object, he has grown up, you ......"
As she spoke, Deng Shulan cried, she felt very tired, she had been working hard for so many years, but in the end, it was still like this.
"What is up to him! It was originally up to him, how could such a lifelong event let him come nonsense!" Han Yaodong yelled on the other end of the phone, he was already mad.
"Then what do you want me to do? What can I do? I've already reached this point, what do you want me to do?" Deng Shulan yelled at the phone.
After yelling, Deng Shulan hung up the phone, the first time she yelled at Han Yaodong like this, and it was also the first time she hung up Han Yaodong's phone because she was angry.
For so many years, she has played the role of a good wife and mother, she thinks she has done enough, but Han Chenyi has never accepted her, how much gossip has she listened to over the years? Even when she was pregnant, she was praying that she would give birth to a daughter, not a son, not a son.
thought that after giving birth to a daughter, Han Chenyi would slowly accept her, but what was the result? After so many years, he still couldn't accept her!
Who can understand the bitterness in her heart? Dealing with Han Chenyi, she can only lower her posture, lower her and then give up, almost humbly praying for recognition.
She hopes that this family can be complete, she hopes to give Han Chenyi a warm home, and hopes that Han Yaodong will not regret marrying her.
That day, he called her to ask for the household registration book, and asked her to help hide it from Han Yaodong, she agreed without thinking about it, and it had become a habit to please her for many years, and she had no way to refuse any of his requests.
However, even so, although Han Chenyi knew that she would treat him like this, he had been alienating her for so many years.
"Jingle bellโ"
Deng Shulan's phone rang, she thought it was Han Yaodong calling, but it turned out to be Han Chenyi!
Tatsuyi?
As soon as I saw this name, my whole body was immediately filled with strength, wiped away my tears, and carefully picked up the phone, as if the sadness and disappointment just now were all in smoke.
"Hey, Chenyi, what's wrong?" Deng Shulan lowered her voice, as if she was afraid of scaring the person on the other end of the phone.
"Aunt Deng, I want to take Manxing back home tonight for you to meet, Manxing is-"
"I know. Deng Shulan interrupted Han Chenyi's words, and he could hear that Han Chenyi's tone was very careful, this was very common, every time, he was so embarrassed, as if he would not call her at all until he had to.
Han Chenyi breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Aunt Deng already knew who Li Manxing was, otherwise he was really afraid that Aunt Deng would ask him, because he didn't know how to say anything about the matter between them.
"Oh, that Aunt Deng, I didn't tell you about getting the certificate with Manxing for some reason, if my dad is embarrassed by Manxing tonight, can you, can you ......"
Han Chenyi was a little embarrassed, thanks to Deng Shulan, who already understood what he meant.
"Okay, I'll prepare more food, you guys come, your dad can rest assured. โ
After getting Deng Shulan's answer, Han Chenyi finally felt a lot easier, and before hanging up the phone, Han Chenyi said awkwardly: "Aunt Deng, thank you." โ
Deng Shulan blinked her eyes, a little suspicious that she had heard it wrong, he was solemnly thanking him?
"You kid, what are you polite to me. โ
He came to ask her so solemnly for that girl, that girl, is very important to him, right?
hung up Han Chenyi's phone, Deng Shulan immediately dialed Han Yaodong's phone.
Han Yaodong naturally knew Deng Shulan's grievances over the years, but he was a successful businessman, but he was not a successful father, at least, for Han Chenyi, he was a very failed father.
When Han Chenyi's mother just died, he was too busy to take care of him, and later when Deng Shulan appeared, he was in a rebellious period again, and he kept making trouble, and he couldn't get along well, and finally made up his mind to send him abroad, but he didn't expect that it completely alienated them, and when his son became a taciturn person, he knew that it was not the worst to make trouble.
"Shulan, don't be angry. Han Yaodong softened first.
On the other end of the line, he heard his wife's sigh.
"Chenyi called me just now, and he wanted to bring that girl back at night, and he was afraid that you would embarrass that girl, so he specially called me and asked me to help. โ
After Deng Shulan finished speaking, she waited for Han Yaodong's reply, and after a long silence, Han Yaodong said, "Well, I know." โ
Han Yaodong smiled bitterly, he was just afraid that his son would be infatuated and wrong, he didn't want to hinder his happiness......
