Chapter 13 The Truth That Can't Be Hidden
When I saw my uncle and aunt coming out of the car, my whole body was petrified, and Xueqi and I froze at the door, and Xueqi also grabbed my hand and looked dumbfounded.
We didn't expect to run into my uncle and their visit at this most critical moment, I was really completely stupid, my first thought at that time was to let Xue Qi quickly run back to the villa to hide, just like in the past 19 years, as long as Xue Qi hid, not let my uncle and them find out, my secret that I had kept for nearly 20 years would not be discovered, and I could deal with the past. At that moment, I really had such an idea, but it was too late.
Because Brother Xia Bin had already seen me, and then, my aunt also saw me, and then my uncle and sister-in-law who came out of the other side of the car also saw me and Xueqi.
They all saw it.
The moment he saw me, Brother Xia Bin's expression could be said to be completely expected, he froze for a moment, his eyes seemed to think that he was in the wrong place, he was usually stunned for a moment, just for a moment, and then, he returned to normal. And my aunt also saw that I was holding Xueqi's hand and standing at the door at that time, but her reaction was very big, her mouth was slightly open, as for my uncle, he saw me with his sister-in-law, and when they saw me, their pupils were slightly dilated, but they still walked towards me.
I will never forget that moment
Nearly 20 years of secrecy, nearly 20 years of hard work, finally ushered in this moment of being exposed.
For many years, I was worried that Xueqi would be known by my relatives, and for how many years, I was afraid that my dearest people would look at me with strange eyes.
After all these years, I thought I could keep it a secret until I decided on my life's work, and I could tell it on my own initiative.
However, the reality is still so cruel, Xueqi was still discovered.
I finally couldn't escape this nightmare.
Moreover, it was when I was about to take Xueqi to do the abortion.
Two nightmares, coinciding together.
Uncle and they walked towards me, and I felt Xueqi's grip on my hand a little heavier.
I know that their hearts must be full of questions, and they will ask me who Xueqi is, who I am, what is my relationship, and how I came to my house. I know they're going to ask me a whole bunch of questions. Over the years, I've thought about this image countless times, and I've thought of countless reasons to deal with it.
Xue Qi was very panicked and grabbed my hand very scared, because I let Xue Qi hide upstairs when my uncle came to my house since I was a child, and Xue Qi now has a strong fear of my uncle's family, which is like scaring a child and saying "the wolf is coming".
Today, the wolf really came.
"Dad......" Xue Qi grabbed my hand and pulled me in fear, I finally came back to my senses, I glanced at Xue Qi sideways, and saw Xue Qi's panicked little face. She was so scared that she was trembling.
"Don't be afraid, Qiqi, Dad has been planning to tell my relatives about you for a long time, and they will understand. I turned my head and gave Xue Qi an affirmative look, then stepped forward and said with a smile:
"Uncle, aunt, Brother Xia Bin, sister-in-law, you are here. I tried to keep my tone as calm as possible, trying to make everything light and normal, but I found that my relaxed tone seemed very abrupt and out of place in the current situation.
"Well, Xiaodong, let's take a look at you...... Who is this girl?" my aunt said with a polite smile, and then her face instantly became normal. Sure enough, it was a straightforward question.
Who is this girl?
My aunt's eyes fell on Xue Qi's body, and then she looked at me with a little more suspicion in her eyes...... Not only my aunt, but also Brother Xia Bin, my uncle and sister-in-law who were present all looked at me with strange eyes. And their gaze, one by one, is more nervous.
They are all seeing Xue Qi for the first time, Xue Qi's immature and youthful appearance, anyone who sees it knows that it is a female student.
And I'm opening the door with a schoolgirl at the moment, what does that mean?
What would a 34-year-old man and an 18-year-old girl think when they came out of the villa?
What's more, I am also the chairman of Sanxin Company, and with this identity, I think I am afraid that anyone will want to go elsewhere.
I guess my uncle's family's first thought was that I would bring the young girl to the house for the night.
This is a very normal thought. Who doesn't keep a few beautiful girls in the rich? What's more, Xueqi is so beautiful, who can't be suspicious?
"She's ......" I grabbed Xue Qi's hand, Xue Qi was extremely nervous, her knuckles pinched my fingers tightly, and I knew that the next moment was the most critical.
What is Xueqi for me?
Is it my daughter? But how could I have an 18-year-old daughter? How can I explain that I picked it up from the side of the road?
Xueqi is my father's adopted daughter? I can deceive others, but my uncle knew my father before his death, and he knew that my father had not adopted other girls at all, so this lie could not be hidden from her at all.
So, Xueqi is my colleague's daughter or sister, but how do I explain that she is in my house?
She's my wife? But I'm a big man, and I'm going to find a schoolgirl to be my wife?
What I thought was something that was very easy to explain, something that had been rehearsed countless times before, has become so difficult at this moment.
I found that I couldn't explain Xueqi's identity.
Everything was exposed, and the last of my fig leaf was finally removed.
Looking at my uncle's family standing in front of me, I glanced at Xue Qi again, looking at her frightened expression. Looking at Xueqi's pitiful expression, thinking that she now had my child in her belly, I knew that I had to take responsibility at this moment.
She ...... It's my girlfriend. I replied to my uncle's family.
Hearing my answer, my uncle's expressions were all very strange and seemed to be a little heavy, and I guess my words deepened their misunderstanding of me even more.
"Xiaodong, you kid, why are you like this...... Xiaodong, you are depraved, how can you harm other girls......" My aunt looked at me in disbelief, she obviously couldn't believe that the honest Yang Jiandong she thought in her heart would become a degenerate person who casually soaked young girls like this.
"Auntie, you are mistaken, Qiqi is really my girlfriend......" I hurriedly defended, and then said to my uncle, "Uncle, Brother Xia Bin, sister-in-law, come into the house and sit down." ”
It seems that the explanation is not clear all of a sudden, and I can only explain it to them slowly.
My uncle frowned, looking at me with a bunch of vicissitudes and deep eyes on his old face, and finally, he nodded.
"Well, let's go inside the house. ”
Then, I pulled Xue Qi and led my uncle's family into the house, and as for my plan to abort Xue Qi, I naturally had to cancel it temporarily.
When she entered the house, Xue Qi didn't say a word, she was very nervous and kept her mouth shut, while Brother Xia Bin kept looking at Xue Qi, and then looked at me, but didn't say anything, just pulled her sister-in-law and patted me on the shoulder when she passed by me.
My uncle's family sat on the sofa in the hall, and I asked Xue Qi to pour tea for my uncle, the first time I saw my uncle's family in person, Xue Qi was quite nervous, I asked her to make tea, and she went without saying a word. For her, this is also the best opportunity to escape the suspicious eyes of her uncle's family.
I took some fruit and small biscuits on a plate and entertained my uncle, who lit a cigarette with Brother Xia Bin, then sat on the sofa, watched Xueqi's busy back in the kitchen, and then turned his head to look at me again.
"Xiaodong," in the end, it was Brother Xia Bin who spoke, after all, his age is relatively close to mine, and it is more suitable for him to speak, "What does she have to do with you, didn't you say it...... Confinement is studying in France, are you waiting for her to come back?"
"That's right, Xiaodong, you ...... like this How can you be worthy of confinement!"
My aunt was also angry at me, although I tried my best to suppress my tone, but I could already hear the anger in her mouth, my aunt has always been very satisfied with the confinement, because the confinement is beautiful, knowledgeable, and gentle, the mouth is also very measured, the education is even higher, or a foreigner, my aunt has always felt that the confinement is my most suitable candidate for marriage, even more suitable than Yuhui. That's why when I bumped into me and Xueqi today, my aunt was extremely surprised.
When my aunt said this, I also fell silent, I knew that I couldn't hide it, I had to explain it to my aunt, I crossed my hands, and then lowered my head slightly, and said:
"Auntie, there's something I want to make clear to you...... I've lied to you for years, but confinement isn't my girlfriend. ”
"Ah?!!" This time it was not only my aunt, but even my uncle and Brother Xia Bin were surprised, they looked at me incredulously, as if they were looking at another person.
"Xiaodong, you tell me clearly, what's going on with you? Did you hide a lot of things and didn't tell us?" Uncle was also a little unable to hold back, obviously my secrets were revealed one after another, and they realized that I had hidden a lot of things from them.
Forget it, let it out. Anyway, sooner or later, it will be exposed, so just tell my uncle.
"Uncle, aunt, in fact, Yuezi is not my girlfriend, she is my own sister. I made up my mind, and then I said this.
"You...... Sister?Xiaodong, where did you come from, sister, we are all familiar with your relatives, who have you deceived? Are you messing with indiscreet people outside?" Uncle's tone became a little stern, it seems that he mistakenly thought that I was a sister from another way.
"Let Xiaodong make it clear. My aunt stopped my uncle's questions, and then turned to me and asked, "Xiaodong, tell me well, where did you come from?"
I also looked at my aunt gratefully, and said:
"I shouldn't hide it from you, but the confinement is indeed my sister, we have done a kinship test, and it was found that the confinement is my sister. My mom divorced my dad when I was younger, but at that time she was already pregnant with my dad's child, and then my mom went to a relative's house in Japan, and she became Japanese when she was confined...... I don't want to get married for the time being, so I let Yuezi pretend to be my girlfriend and help me for a few years, so ...... I haven't told you about it. ”
