Chapter 163: Home!
Under Huo Cheng's loud accusations, Du Qinghua's spiritual platform was empty and had an epiphany.
She is not quite unreasonable, as a cultured and thoughtful mother, she shows such an unreasonable state, she is really concerned and chaotic, and her mood is disturbed by her daughter's experience.
Now after Huo Cheng's explanation, how can Du Qinghua still harshly criticize Lin Ze?
After being stunned in the chair for a long time, he sighed lightly and said: "It's just that, it's me who is impulsive, I'm quite unreasonable, and it's not okay if I'm reckless?" β
Dong Qingrui smiled and comforted: "It's no wonder to you about this, if I broke them on the spot, maybe I would beat people in anger." β
"Can you beat anyone?" Du Qinghua gave him a blank look.
"Uh, haha." Dong Qingrui was stunned and laughed.
After waiting for a while, Dong Xiaowan returned to the private room under Lin Ze's persuasion. Only this time the atmosphere in the private room is obviously different.
Even Dong Xiaowan, who has little experience in this area, feels that her parents' attitude towards Lin Ze is not as vigilant and resistant as just now.
Lin Ze was still pleasing the couple in a low voice, and he was trying to say something nice, for fear that he would offend the couple again and make a bad ending.
"Xiaolin, you don't need to do this, I don't mean to blame you." Dong Qingrui waved his hand to signal Lin Ze not to punish himself anymore, and smiled. "Tsinghua has also figured it out, the more you are like this, the more uncomfortable we feel in our hearts."
"Huh?" Lin Ze's movement of raising his glass stopped slightly, and he looked at Dong Qingrui inexplicably, and then turned his head to stare at Du Qinghua.
"Well, I also have a place for recklessness in the afternoon. As long as you don't do this nonsense in the future, I won't pursue it. Du Qinghua said calmly.
Although under Huo Cheng's explanation, Du Qinghua knew that the scars on Lin Ze's body were not left by the Dao Shang. Rather, it is a scar for the country. But she is Dong Xiaowan's mother after all, and her basic face is still exquisite. Moreover, Du Qinghua is not a person who tends to be inflammatory, and he will not have a good attitude just because Lin Ze's identity is not ordinary, and he will be as attentive as Cheng Ying.
Her attitude improved, completely because she felt that she had misunderstood Lin Ze, and it also made her daughter sad all day. That's when he said these soft words.
When Lin Ze heard this, he couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart. Hurriedly said, "Thank you, Auntieβ"
Then, his gaze fell on Huo Cheng, who had a calm face and drank wine and ate peanuts.
Perhaps, it is the mediation of this old man that has such an effect?
No matter what, Lin Ze was very grateful to him.
He also knew that if it weren't for the old man's efforts and words. With Du Qinghua's surname, it is probably difficult to forgive himself.
Lin Ze was still happy, and Dong Xiaowan's excitement was self-evident. It was only not long ago that he put down his cruel words and said that he would cut off the mother-daughter relationship with Du Qinghua if he did not forgive. I don't know what to say at the moment. Fortunately, Dong Qingrui played a round from it to resolve this embarrassment.
The first half of the dinner was quite cramped, and the second half was to resolve the contradiction and completely let go.
The six of them ate quite happily, and even Dong Qingrui took the initiative to ask Lin Ze to drink two glasses, and he was even more impressed by his drinking.
This guy is a keg. I drank a pound and a half of liquor in front. At the moment, drinking liquor is still like drinking water. How did you get this amount of alcohol?
Rao is Cheng Ying, who is mixed in the dinner five days a week, is also very emotional, once some people become strong, they are outrageously strong in all aspects. Lin Ze on the dining table is a typical representative.
Of course, if Brother Xiaolin learned about Cheng Ying's inner activities, he would definitely wave his hand modestly and say: "Actually, in terms of dressing up, I can't even compare to the spicy Han Xiaoyi." More needs to be done. β
It was already eleven o'clock at night after the meal, and considering that Dong Xiaowanming still had to go to school, Lin Ze offered to leave the table.
These people also have to go to work, so naturally they won't shirk it. got up and exchanged a few words of greeting, and Cheng Ying left first.
The three members of the Dong family walked in front, and Lin Ze and Huo Cheng were a few steps behind. Around the corner, Lin Ze turned around and said, "Huo Ju, thank you for your help this time." β
When Huo Cheng heard this, he said with a serious face: "If you don't get recognition, you can't get the glory that should belong to you." If you are misunderstood again because of the scars you bear on your back to defend the glory of your country, even I, an old man, can't stand it. β
Lin Ze smiled bitterly and stopped talking.
Cheng Ying is gone.
Huo Cheng also left.
Du Qinghua came by car, and according to normal logic, Dong Xiaowan was going to get into her mother's car. Maybe it's still a little embarrassing, or maybe I want to spend more time with Lin Ze. Dong Xiaowan offered to fight Lin Ze home.
Du Qinghua wanted to say something, but was stopped by Dong Qingrui and said with a smile: "Then trouble Xiaolin, you can send Xiaowan home." β
"Uncle, don't worry, it will be delivered safely." Lin Ze packed the ticket.
"Hmm. Let's go first. β
Du Qinghua drove away, and as soon as he got on the road, he complained a little: "Isn't Xiaowan really not going to talk to me?" β
"Don't worry, what is the surname of this child, don't you know better than me?" Dong Qingrui said with emotion. "It's only to blame you for being too impulsive and reckless, if you had told me about this earlier, you wouldn't have been so stiff with your daughter. Do you regret it now? β
"Hmph, regret what? Ignore me if you ignore me, I'm still scared? Du Qinghua said unhappily.
"Look, you're so stubborn. If you are wrong, you will die without repentance. Dong Qingrui said teasingly. In case your daughter really ignores you, don't ask me to say nice things to you. β
"You dare?"
ββββ
In the taxi, Dong Xiaowan gently pulled Lin Ze's rough palm, tilted her head, looked at Lin Ze's not very handsome face, and said curiously: "Why did my mother suddenly forgive you?" β
"I said earlier that your mother is not an unreasonable person." Lin Ze said with a smile. "Maybe she's impressed by my handsomeness."
"Nonsense." Dong Xiaowan said coquettishly. "It's obviously the result of my hard work."
"Yes, yes." Lin Ze flicked her snow-white nose dotingly and teased. "Our brutal Xiaowan dared to move out even if she severed the mother-daughter relationship, and if she was me, she had to forgive herself."
"Hmph, it's not because of you scoundrel!" Dong Xiaowan flashed a touch of shyness on her face, and bit her lip. "If it weren't for you, where would I have said such a thing?"
"Don't do that next time." Lin Ze clenched her slender soft and said softly. "Your parents have raised you for eighteen years, even if it's wrong, you shouldn't say such things that hurt their hearts. Do you understand? β
"Well, I know. I was so angry that I said that. Dong Xiaowan nodded obediently. In the future, I will honor them well and stop making them angry. β
"That's good."
Dong Xiaowan tilted her head and leaned on Lin Ze's not generous shoulder, happily closing her beautiful eyes. At this moment, she enjoyed a rare warmth. The gloom of the afternoon was swept away, replaced by sweetness that penetrated into the heart and lungs.
"There's a light up front, and that's for you. It's late at night, so please go home early. β
This sentence sounded on the radio on the car, and the gentle and beautiful female voice said slowly: "The bustling city is illuminated by the lights of ten thousand homes, and there is always one that is lit for us." Listeners and friends, no matter how busy you are, please go home early. Home is the warmest harbor. β
Lin Ze listened to the radio with a gloomy face. He murmured bitterly in his heart: "Home, have I ever had one?" β
No matter what city you are in, how you succeed or fail, your father doesn't mind, they just want you to be healthy and happy. And wait for you to come home in a warm harbor.
And me?
Lin Ze couldn't help but light a cigarette and took a deep breath.
He always tried not to think about this heavy subject, and every time he thought about it, he felt uncomfortable.
Home, he did not have, nor did he have. He is like a rootless duckweed, floating wherever he goes, whether it is a city where he has lived for many years or a city that he has been to occasionally on a mission. He never had a fixed place to stay. There are fringe tribes where birds don't lay eggs, and there are also luxury six-star hotels. But these places are not his home after all, and there is no one waiting for him silently.
The cigarette burned between his fingers, and Lin Ze couldn't help but murmur: "If I also have a home and parents who love me, maybe, my life is not what it is now?" β
"Huh?" Dong Xiaowan was slightly stunned, she didn't hear what Lin Ze was saying clearly, she only vaguely heard him muttering the words home and parents in his mouth.
"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly feel that you are actually very happy. It doesn't matter if your parents are unreasonable or blind to you, but in the end, they love you. Lin Ze gently stroked Dong Xiaowan's soft and jet-black hair, and said softly. Promise me not to make your parents sad again, okay? β
"Well, I willβ" Dong Xiaowan nodded obediently.
After paying the fare and getting out of the car, the two walked hand in hand in the elegant community, and did not stop until they arrived downstairs of Dong Xiaowan's residential unit.
Dong Xiaowan turned around, raised her head, stared at Lin Ze with her bright beautiful eyes, and suddenly kissed him shyly on his scum-covered cheek, and said with a red face: "See you tomorrow." β
"Well, get some rest early."
"Good night."
"Good night."
Dong Xiaowan just entered the elevator, and before Lin Ze could reminisce about the girl's innocence and reveal a shy sweet kiss, the mobile phone rang like a big aunt.
The caller ID is a scar.
Lin Ze felt more and more that Scar, a slut, really had no reason to live. He had already ruined his good mood more than once, and he had to join forces with the butcher to pull him on the chopping block when he had an opportunity. You can also bring his new sports car with you. Kill two birds with one stone.
"Hey." Lin Ze spat out indifferent syllables.
"Brother Xiaolin, it's not good!" Scar said breathlessly.
"What's the matter?" Lin Ze frowned slightly.
"Today, all our lone brothers have been cut down. Damn, it seems that those three regional big brothers are going to fight us to the death! β
