Chapter Twenty-Seven: I Don't Know How to Face Him
This time, Meng's father was safe, thanks to Zhao Chenxi's help, no, Meng's mother muttered in Mencius's ear all afternoon, asking her to invite Zhao Chenxi to come over for dinner, Mencius's thoughts coincided with Mengzi's mother's.
At this dinner, Meng Chenxi was still full of praise for Zhao Chenxi, mainly because Zhao Chenxi showed everyone's beautiful eating appearance when eating, in addition, of course, she was grateful for her busy work for Meng Dad, and Zhao Chenxi always smiled.
After dinner, Meng's father and Meng's mother went out for a walk, before leaving, Meng's mother told Mencius to brush the dishes and mop the floor, Zhao Chenxi thought that Mencius was pregnant and could not be too tired, after Meng's father and Meng's mother left, she went to the kitchen to help Mencius, Mencius was a little touched by Zhao Chenxi's carefulness and thoughtfulness.
The two of them chatted while brushing the bowls, and Zhao Chenxi spoke first, "Sister Meng, did Xingchen mention Uncle Lu to you?" ”
Mencius was stunned for a moment and shook his head disappretently, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhao Chenxi smiled and said, "Nothing? He was right not to mention it to you, after all, it was a sad thing! ”
After Mencius heard it, the movements in her hand paused, she suddenly thought of his sad eyes in the study, and the sentence "old relatives", she wanted to know, not only curious, but more that she wanted to understand his past, think about what he thought, read what he thought, after she put down the bowl, she asked a little tentatively, "Sister Chenxi, can you tell me?" ”
Zhao Chenxi's expression was very calm, as if she had expected her to ask, or if this was the effect she wanted, she was a little surprised, "You want to know!" But I'm afraid that my big mouth will affect the relationship between you. ”
Mencius can be said to be confused and confused at this time, "What does this have to do with our feelings?" ”
When Zhao Chenxi left Mencius's house, Meng's father and Meng's mother had not yet returned from a walk.
Mencius had already washed the dishes, the floor was also mopped, and she was a little tired and lay down on the sofa in the living room, only then did she remember that she was a pregnant person, and after lying down for a while, she wanted to go out to the yard to breathe, and there was a swing-shaped rattan chair in the yard.
She sat up a little tiredly, not daring to dangle it, she had a headache when she shook it, just like when she heard Zhao Chenxi say about Uncle Lu.
At this time, Lu Xingchen called.
Because of the time difference, in order not to disturb her rest, he would always call her at this time every night after the business trip, because he said that at this time she was probably already after eating and was about to lie on the sofa and play with her mobile phone, she really didn't know whether to say that he was thoughtful or deliberately made fun of her.
Mencius picked it up with a smile, and at the same time secretly rejoiced in his heart that he didn't know about Meng's father.
However, she didn't know if he knew the consequences, as Zhao Chenxi said, would the relationship between them be affected?
"Hey, Great God Lu."
"Why did it take so long to answer the phone? Also, your voice sounds tired, and you are disobedient to go live again? Or stayed up late to watch dramas? Lu Xingchen said.
Although his tone sounded like it
was seriously reprimanding her, but Mencius felt warm in his heart, and he also felt that he missed him very much, and suddenly smirked.
Lu Xingchen naturally heard her laughter on the phone, and said helplessly, "How can I like you to be such a fool?" ”
"Then you have to cherish it!" Mencius said.
Lu Xingchen on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, "I've always cherished it!" ”
His tone was a little affectionate and a little smiling, and Mencius listened to it in a trance, and deliberately said, "You say it again!" ”
"Don't say good things a second time! By the way, I will return to China the day after tomorrow and wait for me at home. Lu Xingchen said.
Mencius subconsciously said, "I'm not at home." ”
After saying that, she immediately covered her mouth in annoyance.
"I heard you right, you mean you're not at home, so where are you? You wait for me. Lu Xingchen said.
Mencius was a little confused, and it didn't take long for Lu Xingchen's voice to come from the phone again, "You have returned to your hometown in Rongcheng!" ”
"How do you know?" Mencius said.
"Check where your number belongs, is that the point? It's your freedom and your right to go home, but there's no need to hide it from me, don't I look like a reasonable person? Lu Xingchen's tone was a little dissatisfied.
At this time, Meng's father and Meng's mother came back from a walk outside, and Mencius immediately pretended to be very angry on the phone in a panic, "I said that I don't buy insurance!" Then he hung up the phone.
Meng Ma accused Mencius as she walked into the house, "If you don't buy it, you won't buy it, how can you be angry with others, you are still working hard at night, just this spirit, you should learn from others!" ”
Mencius, "..."
After Meng's father and Meng's mother entered the house, Mencius sent a message to Lu Xingchen, telling him that her parents had come back just now.
At noon the next day, after lunch, Mencius accompanied Meng's father to watch the news in the living room, at this time, Meng's mother came out of the kitchen, still holding a plate in her hand, with three bowls on it, and steaming, "Look at my brain, I forgot to drink sweet soup yesterday to get lucky!" Come, both of you will serve a bowl of each, and you will both go to the bad luck, and the old Meng family will be lucky from now on. ”
As soon as Mencius saw that the bowl was filled with round rice balls, he wailed, "Mom, you know that I hate eating rice balls the most in all desserts, and you still let me eat them, but I don't eat them, I have already eaten a lot of lunch, and if I eat again, I will vomit!" ”
Meng's mother didn't give up, and insisted on bringing a bowl to Mencius's hand, "This is to ask for good luck, wait for you to get married in the future, see if you still like to drink." ”
Meng Ma also took a bowl and sat down on the sofa.
Mencius looked at the rice balls in the bowl with disgust and muttered, "It's too early to get married?" ”
Meng Ma sat next to her, how could she not hear it, and inevitably her head and face, "Early, don't you look at your cousin, who is one year younger than you, and the object of the first year is about to get married during this Mid-Autumn Festival, what about yours?" Hang around all day, don't take it seriously, and I don't know how you got along with that kid Xingchen? Mom again, no
Sorry to ask! ”
Mencius took a sip of sweet soup and quickly diverted the topic, "Mom! It's so sweet too! ”
Mother Meng ignored her complaints and continued, "I don't care, even if it can't be before your cousin, at least before the Chinese New Year, this matter is not negotiable!" ”
Mencius glanced at Meng's father, Meng's father smiled, and was about to reach out to put his arm around Meng's mother's shoulder, but Meng's mother said sharply again, "As her father, you have to supervise whether she has completed the task!" ”
Mencius and Meng's father were speechless.
Mencius put the bowl down and said seriously, "Mom, how can marriage become a task, and I can't catch ducks on the shelves, in case I meet an irresponsible scumbag or something, my life will be ruined!" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Meng Ma glared at her with hatred, "I know nonsense all day long!" Do you know why older leftover women are left behind? That's your mind! It's not that the suspect is short and poor, or he fantasizes about Prince Charming all day long, and the TV series is just a trick to deceive people, you see, just take this man on TV now, how good-looking he looks! But there are very few in reality, but you have encountered it, just like the child of Xingchen, who is one in ten thousand! ”
Mencius and Meng's father looked at the TV together, and Meng's father was the first to exclaim, "Isn't this the child of Xingchen?" How do you get on TV? Or am I dazzled, you two hurry up and take a look, aren't you? ”
Meng Ma hurriedly put on her reading glasses, "It's true!" Tut-tut, you look like a star, how nice it would be to really be my son-in-law! ”
Mencius, "..."
Meng Dad, "..."
Lu Xingchen in the TV was wearing a high-quality suit, with overlapping long legs, sitting on the sofa chair on the stage, facing the camera, very natural, as if he was born with a sense of the camera, in the face of the host's tricky questions, he can answer them fluently, as always, modest and polite, elegant gentleman, across the screen, you can feel the bookish anger on his body, but mixed with a cold temperament.
Moderator: Once again, let us give a warm applause to Mr. Lu Xingchen for receiving this prestigious award from The Asian Lawyer!
I saw Lu Xingchen bowing slightly.
Moderator: Next, I want to seek some benefits for many unmarried female audiences, lawyer Lu, you are so good at a young age, I don't know what you want from your other half?
Lu Xingchen smiled slightly, "You like her, it's enough that she happens to like you!" ”
For some reason, the corners of Mencius's mouth kept rising, and his attention was all on Lu Xingchen in front of the TV, but he didn't notice that Meng's father and Meng's mother beside him were staring at him all the time.
I saw that Meng's mother was happy in her heart, and she was smiling, "Yo, is your heart moving?" Then hurry up, the cabbage can't let the pig arch! ”
Mencius couldn't laugh or cry, "I'm not a pig!" ”
Meng's father and Meng's mother took a nap, Mencius was still sitting on the sofa in the living room, in a daze, in fact, she was very sleepy, and it made sense to say that she was prone to drowsiness during pregnancy, but she would be very energetic.
Because it was hard for her to fall asleep because she was full of worries, her mind kept echoing his sentence "You like her, it's enough for her to like you"! But how can there be such a beautiful and pure love in reality, the pure love she has always wanted seems to have become a little slim, thinking about it, she lay on the sofa and thought of what Zhao Chenxi said.
Three years ago, Uncle Lu defended the family of the doctor and patient as a defense lawyer, and the defendant was a clinic doctor who committed the crime of illegal medical practice, in the course of the defense, because the defendant concealed the facts, resulting in the defeat of the plaintiff's doctor's family, Uncle Lu died of a heart attack in court after the rescue was ineffective, and later, after investigation, the defendant's lawyer received bribes from the clinic doctor, and the clinic doctor was arrested and imprisoned, and the crime was convicted.
Zhao Chenxi also said that Lu Xingchen didn't have time to see Uncle Lu for the last time, so he was depressed for a whole year before recovering.
Thinking of this, the corners of Mencius's eyes were already moist, she didn't reach out to dry it, but let the tears slip down, she only felt so sad, for Uncle Lu, for Lu Xingchen, and for their long future.
Will he be able to join her without feeling guilty?
Will she be able to join him without feeling inferior because of this?
This day was the day when Lu Xingchen returned to China, but Mencius didn't want to go back to S City and return to that apartment, in fact, she didn't know how to face him?
But she had to leave again, because Mama Meng had already whispered in her ear that she had been at home for too long and that it was time to go back to work.
Mencius had to pack his luggage and prepare to go back to S City, in fact, the luggage was a little pig backpack, when Mencius was leaving, Mengzi's mother was hard and soft-hearted, and Meng Ma was reluctant to wipe her tears, Mencius was helpless, it wasn't you who told me to go!
When Mencius took a taxi to the station, she had to pass through the food stalls, she hesitated in the car and finally got off, and then walked to the food stalls, it was now about four o'clock in the afternoon, the food stalls had not yet started to open, Mencius casually found a place to sit down, and as soon as she sat down, she received a text message from Lu Xingchen.
