Daddy looked calm, but Mom looked at me with a strange expression, I motioned to wait, then took out my mobile phone from my pocket, and then dialed Mi Cai's number.

After only two rings, Mi Cai answered the phone.

I asked her, "Are you back?" ”

"It's already on the way."

"Where?"

"I'll see." After waiting for a while, she said to me again, "I'm going to Lingtangwan Bridge soon." ”

"That's coming!"

"Well, you're in such a hurry to call me, is something going on?"

"My parents are here."

Mi Cai's tone was a little surprised: "When did you arrive?" ”

"At noon, I'm waiting for you to have dinner together."

"I'll be there shortly."

As soon as Mi Cai's words fell, I seemed to be able to hear the roar of the engine more violently, and hurriedly reminded her: "You slow down, it's not bad for a while!" ”

The phone has been hung up over there.

……

Only a moment later, a speeding white Audi R8 stopped at the door of the inn in an instant, and I knew that this was Mi Cai's borrowed Mi Bin's car.

As soon as the car stopped, Mi Cai opened the door and stepped out of the car, and although she walked towards us at a fast pace, she could still feel a little apprehensive.

Coming to us, Mi Cai greeted her father and mother very respectfully.

I exhaled softly, then held Mi Cai's hand, and said to Ban Dad and Mom with the most serious expression in my life: "Although we have met before, I still formally introduce to the second elder, this is my girlfriend Mi Cai, a Suzhou girl!" ”

Daddy and Mi Cai are already very familiar, he smiled at Mi Cai, and his mother was very surprised, even if he had seen it, he still looked Mi Cai up and down several times.

Mi Cai clenched my hand and lowered her head again, looking shy.

The old mother finally opened her mouth and asked, "You are really our Zhaoyang's girlfriend." ”

"Hmm." Mi Cai nodded.

Mom wanted to say something, but Ban Dad waved at us and motioned to go to dinner first, but Mom's words that had already reached her lips could not be said after all.

……

In the restaurant, Mi Cai and I sat on one side, and my father and mother sat on the other side.

Daddy ordered, and I took the kettle from the waiter's hand and poured a glass of water for my mother and him, but Mi Cai seemed a little reserved, perhaps because my mother was not enthusiastic enough.

I poured Mi Cai a glass of water and gave her another look, signaling that she didn't need to be too restrained.

Mi Cai nodded.

Daddy finally ordered, according to the usual practice, at this time, Mom should ask Mi Cai's family background, unexpectedly: Mom didn't ask, which surprised me.

If you think about it again, you can understand that maybe in private, Ban Dad has already talked to her about Mi Cai.

At this time, Ban Dad, who has always been not good at talking, broke the silence first, and he asked Mi Cai, "Xiaomi, have you been busy with work recently?" ”

Mi Cai looked at me before replying, "It's not too busy, basically there will be time to come and see Zhaoyang every week." ”

I naturally understood what Mi Cai meant, the reason why she said this was to pave the way for the following positions to support me in opening an inn in Xitang, but she, who has always been principled, told me this lie, which made me feel a little sad, because I didn't want her to make sacrifices for me again and again.

Mom finally took advantage of the situation to speak: "Then do you support him to stay in Xitang and open an inn?" ”

Mi Cai nodded and said, "I support him." ”

My mother said with a cold face: "Then tell me why you support his nonsense behavior." ”

"Auntie, do you really think Zhaoyang is messing around?"

When Mi Cai asked this sentence rhetorically, the aura of the CEO in the workplace was revealed, so that the mother was stunned for a moment before replying: "Start a family first and then start a business, this is an ancient adage, and if he violates it, he is messing around." ”

Mi Cai didn't rush to refute her mother, but said to me: "Zhaoyang, starting a family and starting a business, do you have the ability to handle the relationship between the two?" ”

"I'm confident that I can handle it, but I need your cooperation......"

Before I finished my words, Mi Cai nodded and said, "I am willing to cooperate with you and wait for you." ”

My mother smiled and said, "It's a good thing to be willing to cooperate and wait, but in this era where you can get married today and divorce tomorrow, can you guarantee that Zhaoyang will not marry in the future?" ”

Mom's words are undoubtedly throwing a bombshell into the deep water, and I don't want Mi Cai to promise anything on this occasion, because it's completely unnecessary, after all, no one can predict what will happen in the future.

When I was about to help Mi Cai break the siege, she said to her mother very calmly: "Auntie, I am not a casual woman, Zhaoyang is the first boyfriend in my life, and the last, as long as there is no force majeure accident, I am willing to keep him until I marry him." ”

Mom has some doubts, but such doubts are forgivable, because at the age of 27, such an excellent woman as Mi Cai said that she had never had a boyfriend before, and it was difficult for anyone to believe it, but this is a fact.

At this time, Ban Dad finally opened his mouth: "Zhaoyang's mother, the child's words have been said to this part, if we are still embarrassed as parents, it will be a little unreasonable!" ”

Mom obviously has a lot to say, but in the end she chose to be silent, and I'm even more glad that she is so silent, because Mi Cai has said everything that should be said in place, if she is still dissatisfied, I'm afraid Mi Cai will have nothing to do.

Rao is like this, and Daddy and Mom did not clearly express their willingness to understand my decision to stay in Xitang.

Perhaps, we also need to have a more heart-to-heart communication to completely dispel their doubts.

……

After leaving the restaurant, Mi Cai and I sent Ban Dad and Mom back to the inn to rest, and the two of them walked on the bluestone path and walked along the direction of the flowing water.

I asked Mi Cai, "Why did you suddenly go back to Suzhou today?" ”

Mi Cai was silent for a moment before replying, "Do something that makes you unhappy." ”

Even though I was curious what it was, I didn't ask because Micai would have said it if she wanted to.

After walking for a while, Mi Cai said that she was a little tired, so I found a place by the river with steps and sat down with her.

She leaned on my shoulder and whispered to me for a long time, "Zhaoyang, I'm going back to the United States the day after tomorrow." ”

"So fast?"

"Well, there is no room for sloppiness in the listing matter, and I must be involved in the whole process."

Despite my reluctance, I put on a chic posture and said, "Then I wish you all success in listing on the NASDAQ in advance!" ”

"Thanks, I'll try."

I hugged her tightly, but didn't say anything more, because silence makes time longer, and that's why I subjectively used the principle of relativity to buy more time with her.

……

The spring wind blew quietly around us, Mi Cai closed her eyes very happily, I also felt a little tired, but at the moment when I was about to close my eyes, I saw the woman in red sitting on the opposite bank, my judgment was not wrong, she really came to Xitang again-
