CHAPTER XXXII
After visiting He Zhuoning from the hospital, Xu Qingqing drove back to his home.
At that time, Ms. Zhou was setting up the tableware, waiting for Xu Qingqing to come back and prepare a meal.
"Have you seen Zhuo Ning? How are others? What's in the way? Do I want to go see him too......" Ms. Zhou's questions were like a cannonball, making Xu Qingqing a little overwhelmed.
"Mom, don't ask so fast." Xu Qingqing hurriedly stopped Ms. Zhou, "I've already gone to see him, he's fine, it's fine." Xu Qingqing didn't lie at all, He Zhuoning was really good, so good that he could brazenly tease her later.
"Really?" Ms. Zhou was not convinced.
Xu Qingqing nodded, "Really, it's more real than gold." ā
"In this case, then I will be relieved." For Ms. Zhou, a pledge to gamble with money is something to be believed.
Xu Qingqing privately thought that "He Zhuoning was hospitalized, and she went to visit" would come to an end, and who knew that because Ms. Zhou secretly went to visit He Zhuoning behind her back, it would evolve into a situation where two families met to discuss her and He Zhuoning's marriage.
In advance, Xu Qingqing didn't know that it was He Zhuoning and his parents who went to meet, after all, Ms. Zhou conveyed to her like this, "The night after tomorrow, a bit of a heavyweight blind date, you dress me beautifully." ā
If Xu Qingqing used a little bit of snacks, he would have found that since Ms. Zhou recognized He Zhuoning, the so-called "son-in-law", she had never forced her to go on a blind date.
When she was about to leave work, Ms. Zhou called again to remind her that she must not be late for tonight's appointment.
"Mom, who the hell is it? It is necessary to make it so mysterious that it does not even reveal its name. "Yes, as the most basic element of a blind date, Xu Qingqing doesn't even know the other party's surname.
Xu Qingqing guessed whether that person would be He Zhuoning, but when he thought of He Zhuoning's "coffee position", he couldn't reach the heavyweight that Ms. Zhou said.
"You'll know when you go." Ms. Zhou refused to say, "Anyway, you won't regret it." "
Xu Qingqing pursed her lips, how could she think that she would regret it if she went.
Compared with before, the work these days has been reduced a lot, because Xie Yuan handed over those projects that entered the finishing stage ahead of schedule to Su Heng, and the projects left behind, if you talk about priorities, are basically light and slow, and Xu Qingqing has enough time to deal with them.
First, there is no pressure, and second, there is no overtime pay, who wants to waste their labor? Therefore, in the past few days, Xu Qingqing gets off work on time every day, and his life is not too comfortable.
Maybe Ms. Zhou took a fancy to her and set the date for 7 o'clock in the evening. Xu Qingqing lamented in his heart, he knew that it was better to get off work later! Right now, she has to work for the second time, which is not cost-effective.
Xu Qingqing arrived at the restaurant that Ms. Zhou said at the point in time, and under the guidance of the waiter, he found a private room.
The blind date who met in the private room, Xu Qingqing is not uncommon throughout her blind date history, and she doesn't even disclose her name or surname, this is the first.
Xu Qingqing guessed that such a mysterious would be a star of any way, such as the popular little fresh meat Xie Zhuo and the like, knowing that this was impossible, but just thinking about it, Xu Qingqing felt that life was beautiful, and there was not a famous saying: People still have to have dreams, in case they come true!
With unrealistic dreams, Xu Qingqing pushed the door into the private room, and the formation inside really scared Xu Qingqing, there were four people sitting, among the four faces, only two were familiar, one was her mother Ms. Zhou, the other was He Zhuoning, and the remaining four people, according to their appearance and the dignity of the seats, it was not difficult to see that they were He Zhuoning's parents.
Xu Qingqing crashed on the spot, she saw a heavyweight blind date, and it was clear that she was going to the Hongmen banquet!
Xu Qingqing suddenly became angry, what does Ms. Zhou mean by taking her to see He Zhuoning's parents without saying anything, is there only one man in this world, He Zhuoning, and the two of them have to be tied together to have peace in the world?
Xu Qingqing had gas in his stomach, but it was not good to attack in front of outsiders, so he had to endure it.
The middle leader is a middle-aged man with an indifferent expression, Xu Qingqing guessed that he may be He Zhuoning's father, and on the left hand side of the middle-aged man is a well-maintained woman who can't tell her age at all, and it is very likely that she is He Zhuoning's mother, Ms. Zhou's mother-in-law.
Seeing her appear, surprise flashed on the faces of He Zhuoning's father and mother almost uniformly. He Zhuoning's father quickly retracted his surprised expression, while He Zhuoning's mother looked at her again and again, and Xu Qingqing obviously noticed the growing disgust in He Zhuoning's mother's eyes.
"How can it be so similar to Jian Yi?" He Zhuoning's mother muttered to He Zhuoning's father faintly, but Xu Qingqing didn't hear what she said because she was far away.
Thinking of Jian Yi, He Zhuoning's mother glanced at her son in confusion, this was going to hang him on the same tree, He Zhuoning agreed, he didn't agree to be a mother.
"Zhuo Ning, if it were her, I wouldn't agree." He Zhuoning's mother did not hesitate and made her position straightforward with He Zhuoning.
He Zhuoning, who was on the side, heard this, his face sank, and Xu Qingqing's face similar to Jian Yi was also one of the things he was worried about. He clearly knew that the person he liked now was Xu Qingqing, not Jian Yi, but her mother only saw that face.
Xu Qingqing didn't know the undercurrent of He Zhuoning's mother and son's private surging, she only knew that He Zhuoning's mother had a strict love complex. Generally speaking, a woman with a strict lover complex will subconsciously regard her son's girlfriend as a rival, so she naturally has a feeling of disgust.
Xu Qingqing, who was disgusted, couldn't help frowning, she asked herself if she didn't have any holidays with He Zhuoning's mother before, and she wouldn't become a so-called rival in love because of He Zhuoning. She has nothing to do with He Zhuoning, and she is not worthy of He Zhuoning's mother at all.
For this reason, Xu Qingqing felt that it was very necessary for him Zhuoning's mother to dispel his misunderstanding of her, but he didn't have the opportunity to speak directly.
"Dad, Mom, this is Xu Qingqing, I told you before." He Zhuoning, one of the parties involved, took the initiative to take on the introduction task, "Clear, this is my father and my mother." ā
This is the first time He Zhuoning has directly called her "Qingqing", in the past, they were "Xu Qingqing", "Ershui" and the like, Xu Qingqing endured the churning nausea and greeted He Zhuoning's parents, "Hello uncle and aunt." "It's one thing for her to not like the meal in front of her, it's another to be rude.
"Come and sit here." He Zhuoning's father beckoned Xu Qingqing to sit next to him.
When he got up, Xu Qingqing asked himself if he was virtuous or incompetent, so he sat down in a position on Ms. Zhou's right hand.
"It's called Qingqing, I called you so suddenly, I wanted to ask you and Zhuo Ning......" Seeing Xu Qingqing sit down, He Zhuoning's father ignored He Zhuoning's mother's elbow poke and carried out the routine process for the sake of parents.
Taking advantage of He Zhuoning's father's pause, Xu Qingqing picked up the words, "Uncle and aunt, I think you have misunderstood, I ...... with He Zhuoning" Xu Qingqing paused, his eyes swept to He Zhuoning, and he caught a glimpse of him frowning, as if he foresaw what she was going to say.
Xu Qingqing smiled at He Zhuoning and continued, "He Zhuoning and I are ordinary friends, not uncles and aunts, and my mother, what you think." ā
In front of everyone, he opened his words, and Xu Qingqing felt that this should be the best solution.
Sure enough, there was no conflict of interests and emotions, and He Zhuoning's mother looked at her much kinder.
Ms. Zhou couldn't believe it, the parent meeting she was looking forward to was about to be messed up by Xu Qingqing, she was furious and yelled at Xu Qingqing, "Xu Qingqing, what are you talking about!" ā
Xu Qingqing stood up and apologized to Ms. Zhou, "Mom, I'm sorry, I don't want to lie to you." After speaking, she turned around and bowed to He Zhuoning's parents, "I'm sorry, uncle and aunt, I've caused you trouble." ā
Among the three parents, the most calm is He Zhuoning's father, in fact, he was shocked by Xu Qingqing's frankness, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
The scene was divided into two situations, one was a combination of Ms. Zhou and Xu Qingqing's mother and daughter; One is an embarrassing combination of He Zhuoning's family of three, especially He Zhuoning, who has reached the point of meeting his parents and is still rejected in public.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, why don't we go back here." He Zhuoning's mother took the lead in breaking the incompatible shape of the two situations, and kindly mentioned yƬ.
He Zhuoning told his mother that he disagreed with this mention with practical actions, he got up from his seat, walked quickly to Xu Qingqing's side, and without asking Xu Qingqing if he agreed, he took her hand and dragged Xu Qingqing out of the private room in front of the three parents.
Ho Zhuoning ignored Ms. Zhou's stunned eyes and his mother's loud voices, and his eyes only briefly met with his father, and in the brief intersection, he read his father's support for him.
Xu Qingqing was dragged straight to the terrace at the end of the corridor by He Zhuoning, and many men along the way looked at Xu Qingqing with concern, as if as long as she shouted for help, those men would rush up in the next second.
In order to save face for each other, Xu Qingqing chose to remain silent. It's just that He Zhuoning clasped her wrist with too much force, so she couldn't help but exhale in pain.
"I'm sorry, I was impulsive." He Zhuoning loosened the shackles of Xu Qingqing and apologized to her.
Xu Qingqing kneaded his wrist and glared at He Zhuoning dissatisfied, his voice was cold, "He Zhuoning, what do you want to do?" ā
He Zhuoning was stimulated by Xu Qingqing's indifferent attitude, and unconsciously yelled at Xu Qingqing, "What do I want to do?" I like you, what do you think I want to do? ā
After the roar, the two parties were stunned.
Xu Qingqing didn't open her mouth or respond, as if she hadn't heard what He Zhuoning said.
Silence is a silent refusal, He Zhuoning sighed in frustration, "Xu Qingqing, I like you, I like you so much that I can't help myself, I don't believe you don't like me?" ā
He Zhuoning looked at Xu Qingqing with a humble prayer, he didn't believe that Xu Qingqing had never been tempted by him.
Whether he likes it or not, Xu Qingqing doesn't dare to be completely sure whether he likes it or not. She has been tempted by He Zhuoning, he has helped her out of the siege again and again, helping her out of the predicament, even if sometimes he cheekily pesters her and teases her shamelessly, she is also tempted.
However, does the temptation have to be love?
Xu Qingqing lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong, "I don't know." ā
He Zhuoning had heard Xu Qingqing's "I don't know" too many times, in fact, he knew that every time he asked Xu Qingqing if he liked him, Xu Qingqing already had a definite answer in her heart, she suppressed her true emotions, and she didn't want to completely suppress them, so she had to numb herself with ambiguous answers.
He Zhuoning didn't want her to continue to be paralyzed, he wanted her to face her true emotions clearly. He clasped Xu Qingqing's shoulders with both hands, lowered his body, looked at Xu Qingqing at eye level, and spit out word by word, "No, you know." Xu Qingqing likes He Zhuoning. ā
Xu Qingqing looked into He Zhuoning's eyes, and immediately looked away, she subconsciously wanted to escape.
He Zhuoning's subordinates exerted a little more force, forcing Xu Qingqing to look at him, and forcing Xu Qingqing to speak, "Say, say that you like me." ā
Xu Qingqing, who was unbearable, or bent into a trick, finally collapsed, she slowly closed her eyes, "I like ......"
Under the shroud of the soft light of the terrace, Xu's clear and fair face was so beautiful, her eyes were closed, her long eyelashes trembled, and her full lips opened a mouthful, like a little girl asking for a kiss.
He Zhuoning never told Xu Qingqing that she had a lip shape suitable for kissing, so every time he would be fascinated and unable to extricate himself.
This time, it's no exception.
