Chapter 62: She Agreed
On the way to the speed, I was full of excitement, after all, it was the first time to propose, and I had no experience. I'm really afraid that I will mess up because I don't understand the rules, but I also know that these are not the point, the focus is on how to get the approval of the future father-in-law, Tao's father. He has always opposed me and Tao Wanxin, especially when Luan Yu and I started a big war again, it is even more impossible for him to let Tao Wanxin be the fire starter between the two of us.
It's just that Father Tao must have heard about the incident when I came out of the Public Security Bureau safely last night, and he should know, I am no longer the poor boy who couldn't wipe his ass when he caused trouble. Therefore, I am still a little confident today, and I hope to move Father Tao with my sincerity.
Time passed quickly in my apprehension, unconsciously, it was already evening, we took advantage of the sun had not yet set to rush to the courtyard of the Tao family, the moment the car stopped, I became more and more nervous, once, I also wandered at the door of Tao Wanxin's house, but never had the courage to go in, now, I mustered up the courage, but still not very confident, I couldn't help but ask the dog: "Do you think you can succeed?"
The dog grinned: "It must be successful, if I am a woman, I would like to marry you!"
I pursed my lips slightly. Then I straightened my tie and styled my hair in the rearview mirror. I finally got out of the car.
Tao Wanxin's father is also a strongman in the business world. The family business is quite thick, so the house is also magnificent, reflected in front of me is a European-style luxury villa, I stood quietly for a while, before I walked to the iron door and rang the doorbell.
Soon, the doorman ran out and asked, I immediately reported my name and asked him to go in to report, who knows, the doorman directly gave me two words: "No." ”
Even the doorman is so horizontal, it seems that I have been blacklisted by the Tao family, and I won't even be given a chance to talk, of course I won't give up, just carry it with the doorman, but, my mouth is worn out, and the doorman still won't let me in.
I almost beat up the doorman in a frenzy, but fortunately, our big quarrel alarmed the steward of the Tao family, who seemed to know me and deliberately put me in, but he didn't let me into the villa, only asked me to wait in the garden for a while, saying that the Tao boss was meeting the guests!
I didn't pay much attention to it, so I just sat in the garden, sipping tea, waiting...
About half an hour later, I suddenly saw a group of people walking out of the gate of the villa, and Father Tao personally sent them, I seemed to feel that one of the middle-aged men was a little familiar, so I couldn't help but ask the steward: "Who is this guest?"
The steward replied solemnly: "People from the Chen family!"
I was surprised: "Chen Lin's parents?"
The steward nodded and said, "Hmm!"
I was stunned for a moment, my heart suddenly chuckled, I felt very bad, no wonder the middle-aged man was a little familiar, it turned out to be a little similar to the little white face, they came here with a large family? I didn't dare to think about it.
When Father Tao sent away the people of the Chen family and returned to the villa, we were taken in, and when we entered the villa, we found that there were many people in the Tao family, in addition to Father Tao, there was also Tao Wanxin's stepmother, and a few faces, and there were obviously a lot of gifts here.
My heart is pounding, and I feel like I'm on pins and needles in it....
After Father Tao sat down, he immediately said to me seriously: "Ge Tian, what are you doing here?" This expression was full of harshness, and this tone was so indifferent that the heroism and confidence before I came were instantly swept away, I lowered my head and said softly: "Propose!"
I didn't calculate that it would be like this, everything I had carefully prepared for so long collapsed at this moment, no matter from what point of view, this kind of marriage proposal between me and the dog and the dumb person, compared with the Chen family's proposal, seems too sad and too naïve, people are called grand and formal, and then look at the attitude of Tao's father, I think today's hope is really slim.
Sure enough, Father Tao heard the word "marriage", his jaw was about to drop, he looked at me in disbelief, and said majestically: "You kid is not mistaken, right? Don't you think marriage is child's play? Also, didn't I remind you earlier, don't come to Xin'er again?"
Tao's father's words pricked my sensitive nerves again, and reminded me that on that rainy night, he picked up Tao Wanxin, and I promised him that I would never have anything to do with Tao Wanxin again, but Tao Wanxin said that she would wait for me.
No matter what, even for Tao Wanxin, I can't easily retreat, not to mention, at that time, I was really difficult to protect myself, but now, I have the ability, I have the confidence to protect Tao Wanxin, so I raised my head, looked at Tao's father with a firm gaze, and said sonorously: "I love her, she loves me, I want to marry her, I have the ability to protect her now!"
After hearing this, Father Tao sneered and said: "Ge Tian, you kid is still too young and naïve, do you think that if someone has helped you behind your back, you will be able to stand alone in this city? You must know that here, the power of the Luan family is able to hold up half of the sky, and as soon as you came, you humiliated Luan Yu, and even smeared the entire Luan family, do you think that your future life will be peaceful? Let me ask you, what do you do to protect Xin'er? Do you rely on a few of your bastard brothers?"
I was blocked by Tao's father and couldn't speak, sure enough, the experienced old Jianghu saw far enough, he didn't care about me changing at all, for him, his daughter's safety was more important than anything else, and I was still nothing in his eyes. Even if there are nobles to help me, my background is still humble, and Luan Yu, no matter what, is the son of the Luan family and the son of the mayor. Therefore, Father Tao is not optimistic about me, and he has his reasons.
It's just that why is my heart so bitter and unwilling, and, at this moment when I was stunned, Father Tao had already lit a cigarette, smoked it, and took two puffs before he continued to speak: "Ge Tian, I won't tell you the truth, since I beat Xin'er because you were kidnapped by Shanying, I have not been optimistic about you, but I didn't expect that after this, you let Tao Wanxin be arrested by Luan Yu, which has broken through my limit, so, no matter what, it is impossible for me to recognize you." What's more, when you came back after disappearing for a year, you actually made a lot of trouble and caused trouble, and once again angered the son of the Luan family in a high-profile manner, making the city full of storms, you are famous, but have you ever considered Xin'er? Is she suitable to live a life of fighting and killing with you? I advise you to die of this heart, I will never agree to you to be with Xin'er!"
Hearing this, Tao's father's dislike for me has reached the limit, not only him, but also the rest of the Tao family, all of them look at me unpleasantly, they also add fuel and vinegar at this time, and blame me one after another, asking me not to cause trouble to their family anymore.
Coming from heaven, suddenly walked into hell, this kind of gap really hit me hard, I was afraid, I was afraid of losing Tao Wanxin from now on, I definitely couldn't just leave, so, after a long pause, I spoke again and said firmly: "Uncle, I'm sorry, Luan Yu's matter, I will solve it as soon as possible, and in the future, I will never let Tao Wanxin fall into danger again!"
Father Tao glanced at me with slanted eyes, and said indifferently: "Why should I believe you? I believe in an arrogant boy who only knows what is right to get into trouble?
Father Tao's attitude makes my heart more and more painful, more and more powerless, I can't even imagine how Tao Wanxin, who has been insisting on waiting for me and insisting on loving me, how to fight against Father Tao, in order to stick to this love, how many grievances I have suffered, in order to persist until now, no wonder last night on the stage, when I first saw me, she would scold me so painfully, and I, after finally reuniting with her, did not quietly catch up with her, only cared about conflicts with Xiaobaimian and Luan Yu, and only cared about washing away my humiliation. But she forgot Tao Wanxin's worries and her feelings.
She waited for me for so long, not waiting for me to humiliate and offend Luan Yu, she knew that the Luan family was powerful, and knew that what her father was most afraid of was getting into trouble, so last night she persuaded me twice or three times to forget it, persuading me to leave, she just wanted to stay with me in peace and enjoy the time between the two.
But what about me, I not only ignored her, but even talked about my feelings for Xiaoyue on the stage, and then I didn't have time to explain to her, since I returned to this city, I haven't talked to her alone, I really treated this relationship lightly. The first thing I did when I came back was to find Tao Wanxin, for the love that had lasted for more than a year, but I was blinded by hatred and put love behind me.
In other words, my mentality has changed, since I know that someone has supported me, I have become arrogant, I have become invincible, I have become vindictive, I just want to be completely angry, my heart is not pure, I am not so insistent on love, in the end, am I blinded by hatred, or have I really changed?
When I was in deep grief, Father Tao's indifferent voice suddenly came: "You go!"
This voice called me back to reality, the reality is that no one in the Tao family welcomes me, Tao's father has clearly ordered me to expel guests, until now, I understand that after the return, I am too empty-eyed, so that I don't realize that in the eyes of many people, I am still small, in the face of love, I am very powerless, the woman who waited for me for a year under great pressure, when I was most needed, I did not insist on guarding her.
Thinking of her sad appearance when she was forced to leave last night, remembering that I promised her at the police station that she would find her after she went out, I was even more heartbroken, so I couldn't leave easily, I promised her, get her parents, I promised her, let her be my woman for the rest of my life, I can't lose to Xiaobaimi, so, I paused for a while before I spoke, and said in a pleading tone: "Uncle Tao, can you let me see Tao Wanxin?"
Father Tao didn't even think about it, and flatly rejected me: "No!"
My eyes were red, I knew that it was useless to pray, and to keep this love, I could only keep fighting, so I didn't care how much Father Tao hated me, and suddenly yelled a few words in the living room, I wanted Tao Wanxin to know that I was here, and I wanted her to take the initiative to come out to see me, to see her attitude, and to apologize to her.
Seeing this, Father Tao immediately stood up, walked in front of me, and said solemnly to me: "Don't shout, Xin'er is not at home, and, let me tell you the truth, just now, I have discussed the specific matters of engagement with the Chen family, and we will hold an engagement banquet for Xin'er and Chen Lin on the National Day next week, so, Ge Tian, for Xin'er's future, for Xin'er's happiness, for Xin'er's safety, I implore you, don't come to her again, don't bother her again, okay?"
Are the engagement dates set?
I can't believe it, it's impossible, Tao Wanxin can't agree, the attitude of the parties doesn't show it, how can the two adults make their own decisions? Now it's not the old society, I can't accept such a thing, I can't care so much, I just stood up and shouted excitedly to Tao's father: "Don't be like this, Tao Wanxin doesn't like Chen Lin, the person she loves is me, she won't agree to this family business, you can't be so domineering, and you will condemn her for life privately!"
Father Tao's face immediately changed, he took a deep puff of cigarette, and then snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and then, he looked at me with very firm eyes, and said solemnly: "She agreed!"
