Chapter 20: Acquaintance
Seeing me behind Zhao Lei, his father was like seeing a ghost, and the whole person suddenly froze. Even the cane slipped out of his hand.
His dad slowly lifted his trembling finger at me, and I was a little strange. "Chen... Chen Rui? ”
The moment my dad called my name, it was like a strong electric current went through my brain. "You know me?" I took a few steps forward, trying to help his trembling body.
"Don't touch me!" His dad staggered back, and nearly fell when his calf hit the coffee table, "You... Why did you come to my house? ”
"I brought him, huh? What's wrong? "Zhao Lei was as surprised as me, he turned his head and looked at me and didn't see anything unusual, but he wondered why his father had such a reaction." How do you know his name? ”
As he got older and frightened again, his father's breathing gradually became rapid, and his slightly trembling lips didn't say a word for a long time. When I approached him to see what was going on, he was even more frightened.
"We... Acquaintance? I asked tentatively, also noticing the reactions of the people around me to see me.
Like Zhao Lei, they felt strange about Zhao's father's behavior. I'm not a weirdo, I can see that Father Zhao was so scared by me that he couldn't see his three souls, and he also began to probe me carefully.
After a while, Zhao's father relieved himself, and he was still just as alert to me. Sitting on the sofa, he still tried his best to dodge backwards, like a mouse seeing a cat. "Why did you come to my house? What exactly is your purpose? ”
Father Zhao's words made me more and more confused, I hadn't seen him before, how could he know my name? Why are you so afraid of me? Could it be... What harm did Wu Yao or Ouyang Ze do to him?
I began to search my brain for relevant memories. Wu Yao and Ouyang Ze have both been in contact with the real estate business, and both have spent some time in China, perhaps it was during this time that Zhao's father knew about them, and at the same time knew my name...
"Didn't you go to the United States with Ouyang Ze? How could it be... How will it come back? His father maintained a vigilant posture, and his voice trembled slightly even when he spoke.
He held the crutch tightly, the wood that reflected the red light was not hard, nor thick, but it was the only thing in Zhao's father's hand that could protect himself now.
When I heard Ouyang Ze's name, I probably guessed what was going on. "We've been together for a long time, he's been arrested in jail now, so I'm back." I spread my hands and gestured that I had nothing left.
"I know," Father Zhao still didn't let his guard down, and the crutches in his hand tightened, "Why didn't you get caught in it?" What are your intentions in coming to my house? Say! ”
Hearing Zhao's father say this, several relatives in his family hurriedly called security guards and servants. After a while, I was surrounded by them, and they didn't know what was going on, so they just surrounded me and waited for Zhao's father's order.
"Dad! What do you mean? "Seeing that I was so embarrassed, Zhao Lei also hurried over to help me break the siege, and when his mother stepped forward to stop me, he didn't hesitate to push her aside." He has nothing to do with Ouyang Ze for a long time! What is there to mention about the past! ”
"Shut up!" Father Zhao smacked his crutches hard, and the long wooden floor trembled a little, "What do you know?" You even brought him here, don't you know how much persecution our family has suffered from them? His emotions grew more and more agitated, and his swollen face became less and less clear.
I didn't know anything about the past, and since he mentioned Ouyang Ze, it seemed that all their injuries at that time also came from Ouyang Ze, and they were just angry at me.
"Where have we met? How did you know about me? I asked. Since I was with Ouyang Ze, I rarely went out, and the only places I have been to are places like some drinking parties.
"The drinking party at the Waldorf Hotel, you forgot?" Father Zhao looked at me sideways, and his contemptuous attitude also reminded me to recall the bad things that used to be rotten grains.
It wasn't surprising to see me at that drinking party, not to mention that Ouyang Ze and I were still so dazzling at that time..."You are there too?" ”
"Humph!" Father Zhao knocked down his crutches again, and at the same time turned his head sideways and didn't want to mention the matter again.
At that time, no matter what Ouyang Ze did, I was always supportive, but seeing that Father Zhao was so angry now, it seemed that Ouyang Ze must have done something very excessive. "We don't have any relationship anymore, we were married and lived together in the United States, and then I left him after I found out what kind of person he was, I don't know what he did to be sorry for you, but please don't get angry with me."
The people on the side didn't interject, they just listened quietly. After going back and forth, I also roughly understood what it was all about. The security guard and the servants did not retreat, and were still around me, waiting for Zhao's father's next instructions.
Father Zhao is also a sensible person, and after the matter between me and Ouyang Ze was discussed, he did not continue to embarrass me. Although the cane was still in his hand, it was no longer as guarded as before.
The children next to me were so frightened by what we just said that they didn't dare to gasp loudly, and taking advantage of the current stalemate, they also took the opportunity to sneak away to play somewhere else.
"Tell me, what the hell are you doing at our house?" Father Zhao lowered his head and gently shook the crutch, and his tone of voice was much softened.
Seeing Zhao's father so direct, Zhao Lei also looked at me and smiled, originally just standing beside me, but now he also held my hand tightly. The person next to him was dumbfounded, and his mother's eyes were moist when she saw this... I think if Zhao's father saw this scene, he would definitely be so angry that he had a heart attack.
"Dad, I want to be with Chen Rui!" Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Lei's words fell, Zhao's father raised his head in surprise, and when he saw our hands clasped tightly, he was almost frightened.
"You... You..."This scene was too big a blow to the people of their time, seeing that Zhao's father was almost fainting, Zhao Lei's mother also ran to Zhao's father quickly, helping him to calm his breath again and again. "Don't get excited, don't get excited."
"I hope you can agree!" Seeing his father so excited, Zhao Lei also stood calmly next to me, and his hands were still clenched tightly, but he bowed deeply to his father.
Originally, I came to confess, but now that the plan has been disrupted by Zhao Lei, I don't know where to start. Seeing that the people around me were looking at us with strange eyes, and the eyeballs wanted to fly out, I was also so angry that I was chilled.
"You're crazy! Did you know he's a man? Are you blind? His dad picked up his crutches and tapped heavily on the coffee table, and the sound of "dong dong" not only shook the fruit plate on the table, but also stimulated my heart.
"What's wrong with the man, I'm also a man. What I like is his person, not his gender. It doesn't matter if he's a man or a woman, I like him and I'm going to be with him. As he spoke, Zhao Lei pulled me into his arms suddenly, and it was an unexpected kiss.
He was so reckless, I suspected that he was deliberately provoking his parents. So many people in the room, who are still relatives with Zhao's father, watched the junior and a man talk to me, and they all criticized it with their fingers.
"You... You..."Father Zhao's breathing became even more rapid, and finally he simply stopped talking, but gasped heavily.
And Zhao's mother on the side did not give up her criticism of us, although she was a woman, she didn't show any tough attitude in the face of Zhao's father's fear of me just now, but when she opened her mouth, the words she spit out hit the key point of the person.
"Xiao Lei, are you confused by this person?" She squinted at me and said, "He's so much older than you, and he's been with so many men, what do you like about him?" And there's... He's a man! ”
"I'm not interested in women, okay!" Zhao Lei argued, "I'm bah! Zhao's father, who was relieved, spit out a mouthful of phlegm at Zhao Lei, and Zhao Lei did not dodge, allowing the mucus to stick to his clothes.
"You shameless, I still want it! Who do you like badly, do you have to like men? Or is it such a broken shoe? You are really ashamed of our Zhao family! Every word he said was reprimanding Zhao Lei, but he was always looking at me, especially when he said the word "broken shoes", his eyes looked at me more fiercely.
"Why are you scolding him!" Zhao Lei deliberately pulled me back and asked me to hide behind him as much as possible. At this time, he was like a superman, carrying the flying "meteorite" for me in front of me. "All I know is that he's the best guy for me! Better than all of you so-called parents! ”
"What a wreck! What a wickedness! Zhao's mother cried out immediately, and tears continued to pour out of her eyes like a river bursting the embankment. The son who has been raised for so many years has raised a pervert! Still a white-eyed wolf! ”
I thought of these harsh words at the beginning, because I had heard them before... It's just that when these adjectives are crowned on Zhao Lei's head, I only feel guilty for him.
"Whatever you say, I'm just telling you. I just want to be with Chen Rui, no matter what you do to me, I don't blink. Zhao Lei said righteously, looking from behind, his broad back also looked thicker...
Standing behind him, he couldn't receive the contemptuous eyes of his family, and he couldn't see their heartbroken expressions at this time, the only thing he had was the warmth that Zhao Lei emanated from his heart...
