Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Amazing Truth
When Chen Cong returned home, he found that his parents had not slept yet, and the two were sitting on the sofa watching TV.
Chen Cong felt at a glance that this kind of joy had not been seen for a long time, although there were usually smiles at home, but tonight this atmosphere was extremely strange.
"Good boy, worthy of my son." Father Chen Guoyong stood up directly, walked over with a smile and took over Chen Cong's schoolbag, while his mother also sat on the sofa and watched with a smile.
Chen Cong was not only thinking about Qiu Xiaopang's joining the army along the way, but his mind was full of pictures of holding hands with Gu Keyi, as soon as he entered the house and saw that the atmosphere was not right, Chen Cong secretly said in his heart, shouldn't his parents see him holding hands with Gu Keyi on the road?
"Dad, don't get me wrong, I'm just ordinary friends with that girl." Chen Cong hurriedly explained that although he had listed Gu Keyi as his future girlfriend, he didn't say anything about it, and it would be bad to make his parents happy.
Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, the smiling faces of Chen Guoyong and Zhang Hui froze, and their eyes were full of doubts.
Chen Cong secretly said that it was not good, he hurriedly puffed out his chest, slapped his hand on his chest a few times and said, "Parents, don't worry, my son and I will chase her sooner or later." ”
Chen Guoyong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and said with a strange smile: "Are you still dating a female classmate?" ”
"Uh...... Didn't you mean that? Chen Cong was a little dumbfounded.
"Good boy, a typical thief is weak-hearted, your mother and I received a call from your teacher Su in the afternoon, saying that you were admitted to the third place in the class, and we are happy until now, and we plan to wait for you to come back and praise you, but ......" Chen Guoyong said this, glanced at Chen Cong meaningfully, and gave Chen Cong a thumbs up.
The corners of Chen Cong's mouth twitched, I'll go, this time it's a big fuss, and I accidentally betrayed myself.
"Haha, yes, I was just joking with you two elders, don't be so serious, I really don't have a sense of humor, so ...... I'll go back to my room first......" Chen Cong snorted, bowed his head and wanted to run back to his room.
"Boy, it's useless to finish this trick in front of my father, sit on the sofa, confess leniently, and resist strictly." Chen Guoyong grabbed Chen Cong, put his arm on his head and walked towards the hall.
"Come, interrogate your mother, if you are not honest, I will torture you again." Chen Guoyong also sat on the sofa opposite.
Zhang Hui has been in a good mood since she received Su Jingran's call in the afternoon, and when she heard that her son seemed to be pursuing a girl, she was a little worried that it would affect her studies, but now that she thinks that her son is also sensible, otherwise she would not have worked hard secretly for so long and came back from the third place in the class.
"What's the girl's name? How is it to be a person? Are you in the same class? Zhang Hui popped up three questions at once.
Chen Cong saw that he couldn't hide, and this was not something he couldn't tell his parents, after all, he knew that his parents were quite open-minded, and finally he replied honestly: "Her name is Gu Keyi, of course she is the same as her mother, gentle and kind, but she is in the next class with me, and she is in class 1." ”
"Gu Keyi? Her surname is Gu? Zhang Hui was suddenly a little surprised, her eyes were a little strange, and she seemed to be stuck in a memory.
Chen Cong was a little strange when he saw this, isn't it okay to have the surname Gu? He looked at his father again, and found that he was also frowning, with a solemn face, as if he was also remembering something.
No way? Is it the same as the bloody plot of the TV series, Gu Keyi is my biological sister? Or sister?
Chen Cong hurriedly shook his head, threw away those outrageous ideas, looked at his mother and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?" ”
"Cong, where is this girl from?" Zhang Hui ignored Chen Cong's doubts and continued to ask.
"I heard Wang Zhong say, it seems that he used to be from the capital, and then he followed his parents here, what's wrong?"
"Beijing...... Old Chen, this ......" Zhang Hui looked at Chen Guoyong, but was speechless.
Chen Cong looked at his father who was thinking about something again, and now he was really anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Dad, what's going on?" Is it ......?"
"Don't think about it, it's nothing, it's just that this girl's family in the capital has something to do with you, your mother's family."
"What? Do you mean grandparents' house? But you never told me about your grandparents, why did you suddenly have something to do with Gu Keyi now? Chen Cong's heart was beating fast, and he felt as if his parents were hiding a secret from him.
"Lao Chen, tell your son." Zhang Hui saw Chen Guoyong's hesitant look, and finally decided to let him tell Chen Cong.
Chen Guoyong nodded, looked at Chen Cong, and his expression suddenly became serious, Chen Cong grew up, and the number of times he saw his father's expression could basically be counted with one hand, and it was only when he broke into a big disaster that he had this expression.
"Cong, this matter is actually not a big deal, I didn't tell you before because I didn't want you to be involved with the people over there." When Chen Guoyong said this, he suddenly pulled Zhang Hui's palm, put it in his hand, and continued: "Actually, your mother was from a big family, in today's words, your mother used to be a white rich beauty, and I was a poor student. I was a college classmate with your mother, and after we dated together at that time, we were strongly opposed by your mother's family, that is, the Zhang family, and the Zhang family was a big family in the capital at that time, and your grandparents wanted to oppose us being together, and I had no choice but to insist, and then ......"
Zhang Hui suddenly took Chen Guoyong's words and said: "Later, I secretly ran away from home and ran to many cities with your father, but in the end I was found by the Zhang family, and then I broke away from the Zhang family, so now I have nothing to do with the Zhang family." ”
Chen Cong was stunned after hearing this, he couldn't imagine that his parents still had such a tortuous relationship, and they had hidden it from him for so long, no wonder every time he asked his parents before why he didn't have grandparents, they all found other excuses to stagger the topic, but what does this have to do with Gu Keyi?
"If you guess correctly, this girl is also from the capital, and she is also from a big family, the Gu family. At that time, the Zhang family was such a huge family, but it was only attached to the Gu family to survive under the light, compared to the Gu family, the Zhang family was not worth mentioning at all. Zhang Hui couldn't help but feel a little moist when she said this, and she didn't know if she was homesick.
"So......" Zhang Hui was about to continue, but was interrupted by Chen Cong.
"So, if I were to pursue Gu Keyi, I would face more and greater difficulties than you, wouldn't I?" Chen Cong took his mother's words, and his thinking was enough for him to sort out these things and react.
"This is an optimistic scenario. Today's Gu family is even bigger, listen to my mother's words, no...... Don't go any further, their family can do everything, your temper is as stubborn as your dad, and mom doesn't want you to have any accidents. Zhang Hui looked at Chen Cong worriedly.
Chen Cong didn't speak, he didn't know why this suddenly happened, just because Gu Keyi's family was a huge family, so he couldn't chase her? Why? Am I not worthy of her?
"Mom, I'...... I'm not going to give up. Just like my dad did back then, what my dad could do, I can do too. Chen Cong raised his head and said seriously.
"Cong, how can this be the same? The Gu family is really not as ...... as you think" After Zhang Hui listened to Chen Cong's words, she suddenly became a little anxious.
Chen Guoyong suddenly interrupted Zhang Hui's words: "Son, do you really like this girl?" Desperate? ”
"Desperate for love." Chen Cong nodded firmly.
"Then go after it." After Chen Guoyong finished speaking, he held Zhang Hui's hands, which were clenched tighter at the moment.
And Chen Cong also seemed to realize that when his father said this, he had never seen that kind of aura, as if he was saying, "If you like it, chase it, I will help you carry everything." ”
