Chapter 227: Meet the Parents
Early on Saturday morning, Gu Mochen picked up Tan Man and drove to Suzhou.
Although it was a weekend, along the way, Gu Mochen's phone calls continued, and it sounded a little anxious, Tan Man listened to it next to him, and he was also distracted.
This is the first time she has brought the opposite sex home since she was a child, it is of great significance, it is inevitable to be nervous, coupled with her father's attitude, she is even a little worried that when the two meet for a while, will there be any embarrassing scenes.
Gu Mochen finally finished talking about business, and saw that Tan Man was looking at the scenery outside the window, so he took her left hand on her thigh, held it in the palm of her hand and rubbed it twice.
"What do you think?"
She turned around: "Finished, busy?" ”
"There's a case that is about to go to trial, and something is wrong with the witnesses." He said calmly.
"Is that alright?"
He shook his head, his eyes always on the road ahead: "What did you think so distracted just now?" ”
"A little nervous." The car had already driven out of the highway at this time, and the closer she got to home, the more worried she became.
Gu Mochen smiled: "Don't be nervous, if you are nervous, I will be nervous too." ”
"Really?" Her eyes widened, "Are you nervous too?" I see that you are very calm. ”
He didn't laugh.
Tan Man glanced at him and teased her again: "People who are used to seeing big scenes are weird when they are nervous." ”
"I've seen a lot of scenes, yes, it can be seen that it's the first time for parents." He took a deep breath, "I'm a little nervous. ”
She pursed her lips, a little deliberately: "You say, if you disagree with my father, will he kick you out?" ”
Gu Mochen glanced at her sideways: "So terrifying? ”
"He was a soldier when he was young!"
"But I'm not a devil!"
"But you are a devil who entered the village and wanted to rob her daughter!"
Gu Mochen smiled: "I didn't plan to rob it, I just wanted to discuss the transfer of power with him in a peaceful and orderly way." ”
“……”
The parties concerned are all calm and calm, what is she still anxious about.
It didn't take long for the car to drive into the community, and the uncle in the duty room saw that Tan Man was sitting in the car, and allowed them to drive the car in and found a temporary parking space for them to park.
Gu Mochen thought to himself, this time, he finally came in openly.
After getting out of the car, Gu Mochen took out several bags of gifts from the rear trunk, all of which were some expensive supplements, Tan Man was a little surprised, and teased: "Yo, so polite!" ”
He hooked the corners of his lips: "You can't give up the child and can't trap the wolf." ”
She pouted.
At this time of the weekend, it is the time for everyone to go out, and many of the neighbors in and out of the community know each other, and when they saw Tan Man coming back with a man, they all greeted him with a smile, and the content was nothing more than "Ah, Manman came back with her boyfriend", all the way, she laughed embarrassedly, and couldn't wait to get home soon.
Before the doorbell was ringed, the door opened first, Xu Qiong wore an apron and looked enthusiastic: "It's here, come on, come in." ”
After saying hello to Xu Qiong, Tan Man pulled him into the door, and at this moment, Tan Weiguo walked in from the balcony slowly, still holding a watering kettle in his hand.
Tan Man knew at a glance that his father was pretending not to pay attention to it, because the shirt he didn't usually wear much betrayed him.
She smiled and shouted to her father, "Dad, we're back." She paused, a little shy, "This is Gu Mochen." ”
"Hello, uncle!" Gu Mochen was down-to-earth and generous, and greeted Tan Weiguo without humility or arrogance.
Tan Weiguo glanced at the two of them and nodded, "Well, sit down." ”
Xu Qiong was naturally on Tan Man's side, and said with a smile: "Xiao Gu, we met again, I drove all the way, I'm tired, come, drink tea first, there is still fruit." ”
Gu Mochen nodded at Xu Qiong with great cultivation and said "You're polite", while Tan Man was on the side, secretly giving Xu Qiong a "Aunt Xu, you are awesome" look.
Tan Weiguo took in the expressions of the two, coughed lightly, and started what all parents do, check the household registration.
"Xiao Gu, this Chinese New Year's Eve?"
"It's over the New Year, thirty-two!"
Tan Weiguo glanced at his daughter, and really lied about her age.
"Listen to Manman, you're a lawyer."
"Yes."
"Who are the other relatives at home?"
"I have a half-brother who lives with me now."
Tan Man just wanted to interject, but Xu Qiong on the side got up: "Manman, I bought your favorite chicken wings, I forgot the recipe you taught me to make last time, why don't you come in and teach me again?" ”
As a result, Tan Man was reluctantly pulled into the kitchen.
"Aunt Xu, what are you doing, I have to listen to the side, in case my dad ...... him"
"Your dad won't bully Xiao Gu." Xu Qiong closed the kitchen sliding door, "He was really angry when he came back that day, but after he was angry, he calmed down, his daughter always has to get married, he just can't accept the fact that you are really looking for a boyfriend for a while." ”
"But what is my dad so angry, he can't make a phone call, he actually came to the school in person, that posture, as if I had committed a capital crime."
"It's not Niu Li, your father told me later, on the day of the party, Niu Li said about you in front of several people, it is estimated that Xiao Gu came to pick you up during the Spring Festival, and she bumped into her, besides, what an arrogant person she is, you refuse other people's sons, but she has always been obsessed, and always thinks that you are playing with others."
"But Gu Mochen and I did not start until I rejected Lin Jiaming." Tan Man frowned.
"People don't think so, they think it's you playing with other people's feelings." Xu Qiong sighed, "Hey, Niu Li's kind of person, it's not suitable to be a mother-in-law in the future, the competitiveness is too strong, if you really get along with Lin Jiaming, you will inevitably be wronged." However, Lin Jiaming seems to have talked to someone recently, a few days ago, I saw him holding a girl's hand to his house, I guess Niu Li can stop a little at this time. ”
Tan Man shrugged his shoulders helplessly, no wonder his father was angry, he was really chewed on the root of his tongue.
Xu Qiong changed the topic: "However, it's okay in this way, the matter of the two of you has a fixed number." ”
"What, I brought him back, and I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to reassure my dad."
Xu Qiong smiled: "Okay, okay, you two are good, but Xiao Gu is not young, I don't think he is in a hurry, otherwise, he will not agree to come to the woman's house." ”
"He just wants to put my dad at ease and prove that he is a reliable man."
"People, I still can't pretend to talk and cultivate, this young man, I still like it, I don't think I'll be annoyed when I look at your father."
"Really?" Tan Man was pleasantly surprised, "I'm worried that if they don't say a word, my dad will kick people out." ”
"Hehehehe, your dad won't be rude to that extent, if you don't like it, then give it a face, I see, I like it." Xu Qiong said as she probed out the situation.
While chatting, Xu Qiong also got out of lunch, Tan Man took the dishes and chopsticks and walked out, and shouted to the two people in the living room: "Wash your hands and eat." ”
Taking advantage of Gu Mochen's handwashing, Tan Man hurriedly followed: "Hey, are you okay?" ”
Gu Mochen looked back and saw her worried, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you won't be kicked out." ”
"What did my dad talk to you about?"
"Check your account." After speaking, Gu Mochen pinched her face, "By the way, why did you lie to your father about the military situation?" ”
"What?" She understood, age, and Xiaobei's autism, and some other information that she felt was not very good for him, "You recruited them all?" ”
"I don't want to hide anything from your father."
She Nunu said: "This, at most, at most, is a white lie, and it is not a matter of principle. ”
"You don't think so, what if someone else thinks it is?" He sighed, "You don't trust you man like that?" As I said, as long as your father wants to see me, he will definitely disagree. ”
The lawyer always has the confidence to be confused, and Tan Man has nothing to say.
……
The day was quite harmonious, and the thing that was kicked out of the house did not happen, and in the evening, the conversation was almost the same, Xu Qiong also went back to her own house, Tan Weiguo told his daughter to make the bed in the guest room and go into the room to sleep.
Gu Mochen leaned against the door of the guest room, admiring the picture of Tan Man making the bed with his back to him, he didn't plan to come forward to help, he just wanted to watch so quietly.
Plain curtains, simple desks, floral quilts, at this moment, in this small, undecorated room, but full of a mesmerizing taste, occupying every corner, that is the emotion he has been missing for many years, is the warmth he has dreamed of many times in the middle of the night.
Tan Man made the bed, and when he turned around, he saw that he was in a daze with him, thinking that he was disgusted, he thought about it and said: "This bed is a little small, you will just take it tonight, if the quilt is too cold, there is a quilt in this cabinet, Aunt Xu said that she just dried it yesterday." ”
He walked over after two seconds of silence, sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and pulled Tan Man on the side, hugged her waist, and leaned on her chest.
"It's not compromising at all, it's very warm to watch." He closed his eyes and breathed in the scent of her, "It would be nice if I could sleep with you." ”
"Think beautifully!" Tan Man subconsciously slapped him on the shoulder, but after waiting for a long time, the other party didn't fight back, so he lowered his head and saw that he was closing his eyes, his brows furrowed slightly, "What's wrong with you?" ”
He tightened his arms and hugged her tighter: "I feel very happy to come to your house today, as if I haven't experienced this feeling for many years." ”
Felt like home.
His voice was very deep, Tan Man understood it at once, looked down at him, and suddenly felt distressed, this man looked calm and strong, he was in charge of everything, and he could bear anything, but he still had a fragile side in his heart.
The moonlight outside the window, shining through the curtains, drove away the darkness and loneliness,
Tan Man raised his hand, hugged his head, and patted him gently like a child: "In the future, you should be able to come often." ”
The two days of the weekend passed in a flash, Xu Qiong strongly asked the two to have an early dinner and then go back to Shanghai, Tan Weiguo naturally wanted his daughter to stay for a while, after all, she left for Guangzhou next week, and she would not see each other until a few months later, so the two decided to have dinner before leaving.
