Chapter 60: Fate
Lou Shengkun pinched his mobile phone, the anger in his heart was fluttering, and when he heard Sheng Yinglai's voice at first glance, he was stunned for a long time.
He pretended that nothing had happened, hung up the phone quietly, turned around, and looked at Sheng Yinglai on the stairs.
Under the light, Sheng Yinglai hugged his arms and looked at him meaningfully.
"Mom......" Lou Shengkun looked at her and shouted.
At this time, when he saw Sheng Yinglai, he was not only stunned, but also had a feeling of indescribability.
After Sheng Ying came to ask, he didn't ask again.
"Let's have dinner first. Sheng Yinglai nodded, turned around and entered the house first.
Lou Shengkun stood at the bottom of the stairs, looked at her back, and rubbed his eyebrows.
Sheng Yinglai still had a plaster cast on his arm, and dinner was lightly cooked.
The mother and son sat facing each other, with five dishes and one soup on the table. Sister-in-law Fang is a veteran in the kitchen, and even light dishes can be tempting by her.
However, Lou Shengkun looked at the food on the table. But he has no appetite.
On this day, his mind was so crowded with so many things that it almost took him breathless.
"The food is not to your taste?" Sheng Ying asked him when he saw his absent-mindedness.
Lou Shengkun shook his head: "I'm not too hungry." ”
"Eat if you're not too hungry, your stomach is precious. Sheng Yinglai served him a bowl of soup and pushed it in front of him.
Lou Shengkun nodded slightly and forced himself to eat.
Sheng Yinglai lowered his head to eat, raised his head from time to time, and traced Lou Shengkun in the afterglow.
After going back and forth like this many times, she couldn't help it after all.
"Just on the phone...... It's a girlfriend, right?" she asked, impatiently.
When Lou Shengkun heard this, he paused.
In fact, after confirming the relationship with Qin Yan, Lou Shengkun did not plan to hide it from his family.
It's just that he remembered Qin Yan's previous attitude, and was afraid that she wouldn't be able to adapt, so he put the matter on hold.
Just now Sheng Yinglai bumped into him talking to Qin Yan, and he knew that he couldn't avoid this matter.
He lowered his head and hummed, which was sure of Sheng Yinglai's question.
Sheng Ying came to see him nodding, and the corners of his mouth couldn't close with a smile, completely forgetting that he had a big quarrel with Lou Shengkun last night.
"Who is it? Do I know me? How old are you? Where are you from? What do you look like? Are there any photos?" Sheng Yinglai said as if pouring beans.
Lou Shengkun had a headache when he heard this, and rubbed his eyebrows.
"Mom, are you checking your household registration?" Lou Shengkun's tone was a little irritable.
"Aren't I happy? Sheng Yinglai laughed twice, and his eyes lit up a lot.
"Tell me about you, after so many years, you finally did something to make your mother happy. Sheng Ying said, her eyes a little reproachful.
"Have you been happy in the past few years? If my dad hears this......" Lou Shengkun habitually retorted, but he suddenly felt very uncomfortable after speaking, so he stopped.
Sheng Yinglai understood what he meant, and said, "What does it matter if your father hears it? Not to be confused. ”
Lou Shengkun didn't answer, only smiled bitterly.
Sheng Yinglai didn't let him go, and continued to ask, "When will you bring the girl to meet at home?"
He frowned when he heard this, "She and I have just gotten along, and you are too anxious." ”
In fact, he didn't care, he also wanted to take her to meet her parents as soon as possible, after all, he also met half of her parents. However, this matter is not something he can decide alone, and he always has to take into account her opinions, so when Sheng Ying came to ask about the meeting, he subconsciously refused.
"Yes, yes......" Sheng Yinglai nodded.
"Then you two are good, and strive to get the marriage big thing done this year. She held her hands and muttered to herself.
Sheng Yinglai has always been relieved about her son's vision of women, so at this time, she didn't consider the question of whether the other party was suitable to enter the house, and she was just happy that her son was finally willing to have a girlfriend.
Lou Shengkun shook his head, very helpless.
After the two finished dinner, Lou Shengkun moved to the sofa and watched a TV that had just been on recently.
Sister-in-law Fang was busy tidying up in the kitchen, cutting fruits, and Sheng Yinglai leaned on the door frame to chat with her.
"You said at first he had a girlfriend. I didn't believe it yet, but I didn't expect it to be. Sheng Yinglai whispered, with a smile in his words.
"I heard it clearly behind the door yesterday, and that tone was like talking to a little girl. Sister-in-law Fang also smiled, remembering that she was eavesdropping through the door in the house yesterday when Lou Shengkun went out to make a phone call.
"Pet and laugh, isn't it. Sister-in-law Fang remembered that it was rare to see Lou Shengkun talking like this.
"But why didn't I sound right just now......" Sheng Yinglai remembered what she heard at the door just now, and at that time she obviously heard that she was yelling, and she seemed to be very angry.
Could it be that the two of them had an awkward fallout?
Thinking like this, she couldn't help but want to ask.
Lou Shengkun watched the good plot on TV, the meaningless dialogue between the protagonists, but he was thinking about other things in his head. From time to time, he glanced at his phone, pressed it, turned it off, pressed it again, and turned it out again.
From the moment he hung up the phone, the man didn't send any news.
Lou Shengkun pursed his dry lips, and his messy mood became more and more irritable.
What's the use of yelling at her if there's anything you can't say properly?
It's just that she didn't obey, and she shouldn't have lost her temper.
Lou Shengkun wiped his face, leaned his head back on the sofa and sighed.
"Young man, what are you sighing about?" Sheng Yinglai took the fruit plate and sat down on the single sofa beside him.
He sat up straight, looked at Sheng Yinglai, and suddenly thought of it.
"Mom, have you ever been sorry for your dad all these years?" these words swirled in his mind for an afternoon, and finally he asked.
On the one hand, he wanted to find out the truth, and on the other hand, he also had doubts in his heart.
Sheng Yinglai just took a bite of the watermelon, and when he heard him suddenly come to such a sentence, he couldn't help coughing several times.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
She coughed with tears and her face flushed.
Lou Shengkun handed her water, and after she took a sip, she was relieved.
She held the water glass and looked at Lou Shengkun with some tears and laughter.
"Son, what are you kidding?" Since marrying Lou Liguo, no one has ever asked her this question. Unexpectedly, it was her son who gave her such a bomb today.
"Really not?" Lou Shengkun raised his eyebrows and looked at her with some suspicion.
"Have you been stimulated by anything lately?" Sheng Ying came to sit down. Reach out and touch his forehead.
Lou Shengkun blocked it and replied, "It's nothing." ”
Sheng Yinglai looked at him, "Did you hear something outside?"
Lou Shengkun was silent and silent.
As soon as he was like this, Sheng Yinglai knew that he might have guessed correctly.
"No matter what people say outside, don't believe it. Sheng Ying paused and said, "There has never been any problem between me and your father, and if anything, it's because of you." ”
"Why did it happen to me again?" Lou Shengkun frowned.
"From childhood to adulthood, how many fights I have had with your father for your business, can you not know?" Sheng Yinglai snapped his fingers and counted, "When I was a child, I dug out birds' nests, used water pipes to break people's yards, and pulled the hair of female classmates ......"
"How many years ago did this happen, why do you still remember?" Lou Shengkun listened to the more she said, the more shameless he felt.
However, he felt that his irritability was somewhat soothed.
Sheng Yinglai's reaction, in his opinion, was very real, not like lying.
What is true and what is false, he needs to make a new judgment.
Sheng Ying looked at him and smiled, "You were so naughty before, and you won't let me say it?"
"Stop, stop, I'm almost thirty, don't keep talking about this. Lou Shengkun saw her posture and hurriedly stopped.
"Thirty is still my son. Sheng Yinglai rubbed his hair and said dotingly.
Lou Shengkun smiled and said something else, "It's late, you better go to bed early." ”
"Don't. Sheng Yinglai took his hand and asked him to sit down again, "Talk to me about your girlfriend." ”
Lou Shengkun wrinkled his face and yawned.
"Another day, I woke up early today, and I'm so sleepy now. ”
As he spoke, he picked up his phone and ran upstairs.
"Eh, you kid ......" Sheng Ying looked at his back, unable to stop it.
Chunxi Town, in a small room, Qin Yan was lying on the bed, holding his mobile phone and sliding around.
From the time he hung up, two hours had passed.
In the past two hours, she had eaten dinner, taken a shower, and read a book for half an hour, but her heart had been hanging.
A second before Lou Shengkun hung up the phone, she clearly heard Sheng Yinglai's voice.
"What about talking to your girlfriend on the phone?"
If she heard it right, Sheng Yinglai should have said so.
Qin Yan tossed and turned on the bed, did she know what was going on between her and Lou Shengkun? Will she agree? Or will she refuse? Qin Yan thought about it over and over again, her mind was a mess.
In fact, she didn't plan to call Lou Shengkun at first to tell her about meeting Mu Jinhan again, but after thinking about it, it might be helpful to his work. I mentioned it.
However, before she could finish speaking, Lou Shengkun became so angry, which was really beyond her expectations.
At noon, Qin Yan chatted with Qi Zhe on the Internet for a while, and learned from him that Lou Shengkun was worried about the Chunxi Resort project, saying that he couldn't hire a suitable designer.
Qin Yan asked who he wanted to invite, and then learned Mu Jinhan's name.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Chaoying suddenly said that he wanted to eat mung bean cake, and finally got Zhang Muran's permission. She urged Qin Yan to buy it.
The one that Zhang Chaoying usually eats is called Xixian Cake Shop, which has been opened in Chunxi Town for more than 20 years, and is a time-honored brand in the town and is deeply loved by the local people. Later, more and more people came to visit here, and the business of Xifu Cake Shop became better and better, and there were often long queues in front of the store. Sometimes it's available in limited quantities, and you may not even be able to get it in line.
Therefore, Qin Yan was in a hurry.
When she arrived, the line at the door was still long.
Hot weather. Still can't stop foodies from pursuing food.
Fortunately, she went out with a folding fan, which could block the sun and fan the wind, and she was secretly glad in the queue.
She poked her head out and followed the group slowly.
"Coincidentally, I'm seeing you again. A male voice suddenly came from behind him.
Qin Yan looked back curiously, and saw the man he met at the flower art conference.
She smiled politely, "You also buy mung bean cakes?"
Mu Jinhan nodded, "Yes, my wife likes their mung bean cake very much, and she will ask me to bring some back every day." ”
"Their mung bean cake is delicious. ”
"What about you? ”
Qin Yan shook his head, "No, my grandmother loves to eat, but she has bad teeth, so she can only eat once every once in a long time." Chatting with him, she unconsciously said a lot.
"Old people. Mu Jinhan nodded understandingly.
Then, he suddenly remembered something and said, "I don't know what your name is?"
Qin Yan looked at him very cautiously, the other party was just a stranger who had met her twice, and suddenly asked her name, it was right to be careful.
"Don't get me wrong. Seeing her cautious attitude, Mu Jinhan took out his business card, "I'm not a bad person, I just feel that I have a fate with you and want to get to know you." ”
"This is my business card, my name is Mu Jinhan. ”
The moment Qin Yan heard his name, he was surprised.
She took the business card and saw that it was indeed marked with Mountain Wind Studio, and she was even more convinced of his identity.
"Is there any problem?" Mu Jinhan asked suspiciously when he saw that her expression was a little wrong.
Qin Yan reacted and hurriedly said, "No, no ......"
"My surname is Qin, and my single name is a cigarette character, the smoke of smoke. She tilted her head. Introduce yourself with a smile.
Mu Jinhan looked into her eyes, stayed for a second, and quickly avoided it.
"Miss Qin, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
He stretched out his hand, Qin Yan briefly shook him, and then parted.
Later, the two added friends to each other.
The line was very long, and the two chatted a lot unconsciously.
Qin Yan had a strange feeling in her heart, inexplicably feeling that he was very friendly, just like the feeling that Zhang Chaoying gave her.
When she gets home. She also chatted with Zhang Muran, and Zhang Muran directly advised her not to be deceived.
Qin Yan booed her, thinking that she was worrying about the sky.
Then, she called Lou Shengkun.
As a result, she was scolded.
Qin Yan poked the man's avatar and said hatefully, "Stingy man!"
The next second, the stingy man suddenly made a video call.
Qin Yan was startled, and threw away the phone with trembling hands.
Could it be that he heard himself scolding him?
The phone was still ringing, Qin Yan picked it up again, she coughed, her fingers readjusted her expression, and her face was straight.
Then, turn it on.
Qin Yan leaned on the head of the bed, his eyes were faint, his face was cold, and he was not enthusiastic.
"Angry?" The man opposite was also leaning against the head of the bed, wearing a blue silk striped pajamas with only two buttons on his chest.
Qin Yan pursed his lips, did not speak, and looked elsewhere.
Lou Shengkun rubbed his eyebrows. Whispered, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you." ”
"I've been a little annoying at work for the past two days......"
Qin Yan turned back, his gaze fell on his face, knowing that he had been under a lot of pressure recently, and his face didn't look very good.
"You should have listened to me. ”
"Sorry......" He couldn't think of anything else to express his apology except to apologize.
Qin Yan sighed and looked at him with his chin propped up with his fist.
"Alright, that's the end of the story. "She's still soft-hearted.
"Bao, you are so good......" Lou Shengkun looked at her, with warmth in his eyes.
Qin Yan waved his hand, "Don't come to these fleshy ones." ”
"Actually. I called you before, but I didn't finish telling you. ”
"That flower man?" Lou Shengkun raised his eyebrows and gave others a nickname.
"What kind of flower man! he's Mu Jinhan!" Qin Yan glared at him.
"Mu Jinhan?" Lou Shengkun heard this, and his relaxed expression suddenly became nervous.
"You're surprised, too. Qin Yan held up his mobile phone, adjusted his posture, and leaned on the bed, "When I went shopping in the afternoon, I ran into him again, and by coincidence, he was in line behind me." ”
"Are you sure it's Mu Jinhan?"
"Of course, he even gave me a business card. Qin Yan said, leaning over to get the business card on the bedside table.
"Well, look. She handed it to the phone and straightened it up for Lou Shengkun to see.
Lou Shengkun got closer, and if he looked closely, it was indeed Mu Jinhan's business card.
What's going on? Could it be that fate is not true?
He wiped his face, and his mind was a little messy.
"What's wrong, is there anything wrong?" Qin Yan looked at his somewhat anxious face and asked with a frown.
Lou Shengkun took a deep breath and calmed down. Staring at Qin Yan.
"I haven't figured out the bottom of Mu Jinhan, don't contact him for the time being, you know?"
Qin Yan opened her mouth, hesitating to tell him about the two of them adding friends to each other, but after thinking about it, as long as she ignored it, it would be fine?
"Does he have any questions?" Qin Yan was a little curious.
"It's a little hard to say...... Lou Shengkun frowned, and admonished, "Anyway, you just need to remember my words and don't contact him." ”
Qin Yan nodded, although he didn't know what he was worried about, but he understood that he wouldn't do it for no reason.
"This time you have to take it seriously. Don't carry me behind my back to contact people. Lou Shengkun raised his eyebrows, full of warning.
Qin Yan rubbed his nose and snorted, "Okay, Tyrannosaurus rex." ”
Lou Shengkun chuckled, "What, Tyrannosaurus Rex, when did you give me a nickname?"
Just now, it suddenly came to mind.
You have to listen to him for everything, do whatever you want, isn't it a Tyrannosaurus rex?
"It's long-lasting, isn't it, Qin Yan?" he called her by her name, and his tail was warped, hoarse and good.
"It fits your image perfectly, doesn't it?" Qin Yan was not stunned at all through his mobile phone.
Lou Shengkun laughed a few times in a row, and suddenly looked at her and stopped.
Qin Yan looked at his eyes, looked down, and his face immediately turned red.
She turned over just now, lying on her stomach and videotaping with him, her low-necked vest drooping down, revealing a lot of scenery on her chest.
"Hooligans!" she hurriedly put her hand on her chest and scolded him.
Lou Shengkun sighed and said dissatisfiedly, "I see that I am a child friend, why am I a hooligan?"
The words in Qin Yan's mouth rolled and rolled, and when he found that those two words were back and forth, he pursed his lips and didn't speak.
Lou Shengkun suddenly put his hand out of the video.
"What are you doing?" Qin Yan asked with a frown as he watched his expression become very strange, and even the sound of panting became very loud.
Qin Yan listened, and suddenly felt that the voice was very familiar.
As soon as he reacted, Qin Yan's cheeks instantly became hot, and the skin behind his ears quickly turned red.
"Lou Shengkun, are you good at being a person!" she glared at the man opposite, her chest rising and falling and roaring at him.
Lou Shengkun raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"You teach me, okay?" Lou Shengkun smiled at the corner of his mouth, a little bad.
"Teach what?" Qin Yan felt inexplicable.
"Teach me how to be a human ......," he said, deliberately accentuating the last two words.
Qin Yan banged in his head, feeling something explode.
"I won't tell you!" Qin Yan said, hanging up very quickly.
She turned off the light, lay in bed, closed her eyes and slept, all in one go.
Someone didn't want her to sleep. The phone flickered from time to time, and even when I closed my eyes, I could still feel the light flickering in front of my eyes.
Qin Yan kicked the quilt irritably, and screamed twice.
Reach to the side and pick up your phone.
In the dark, the light of the phone is exceptionally bright.
Qin Yan unlocked it, and saw that the man sent several messages, all of which were fleshy words, and there were some sentences that he didn't know where he picked them from, which made people blush.
She slid down. Fingers froze suddenly.
Under the finger, there is a half-exposed photo.
She blinked, and the heat spread into her eyes, and she couldn't resist the cold air.
Scroll down and the whole picture is revealed.
It's a man's abs.
Qin Yan took a deep breath, even if she couldn't see her face, she could imagine how red her cheeks were at the moment.
She poked her phone hard and said, "If you send it again, I'll block you!"
The man didn't listen, but went even further, and directly sent a video over.
Qin Yan lay on the quilt and whispered. Click delete and ignore him.
The phone was upside down on the bed and could no longer flash.
She covered her eyes, kept chanting Buddhist scriptures in her heart, and finally fell asleep.
But Lou Shengkun was very amused, and after seeing that she didn't reply, he got out of bed and went to the bathroom to be self-sufficient.
He had been in the bathroom for almost half an hour, and when he came out, his throat was a little dry.
There was no water in the cup, Lou Shengkun paced downstairs, and when he returned upstairs, he saw that Sheng Yinglai's door was open, and the light was shining from inside.
He walked to the door with his feet up, and was about to speak.
"It's been so many years since that incident, can you stop mentioning it again?" was Sheng Yinglai's voice, as if he was talking to someone else on the phone.
Lou Shengkun pondered not to disturb her call, and turned around to leave.
"Mu Jinhan, how long are you going to torture me?"
He paused as he lifted his footsteps, and his hand holding the glass clenched suddenly.
"Even if it was my fault back then, I have already paid it off, what do you want?" Sheng Yinglai clutched his chest and roared in a low voice.
"She's sick? Didn't I let her get it? You still want to rely on me? I warn you, you'd better not mess around!"
"Isn't it good to live in peace like this? It's been more than 20 years, what else can't you hold onto? Count me Sheng Ying to beg you......"
Lou Shengkun stopped at the door, and his hand holding the water cup almost burst out with green tendons.
"Don't call me again, I'll talk to Sheng Kun over there. As long as you don't cooperate, the lives of our two families will go on peacefully forever. ”
When the words fell, there was no sound in the room.
Lou Shengkun moved, and suddenly felt that his legs were very stiff.
What happened back then?
Gao Pan Qin Yanlou Sheng Kun
