Chapter 30: Prelude to meeting the father-in-law
As soon as the phone was connected, Chen Lu said to me in an extremely gentle voice, "Xue Hai." Have you been available lately? ”
When I heard this, I immediately became interested and asked, "Yes." There's a lot of time every day, what? Officer Chen can't miss me, right? ”
After I said this sentence so jokingly, Chen Lu said a word of disgust, and then said with a straight face: "Since you have nothing to do, how about doing what you helped me do last time?" ”
"Last time? What happened last time? "When Chen Lu said it, my mind was a little confused, and I didn't know what she was talking about. But I quickly understood. It must have been the last time I was pretending to be her boyfriend!
Chen Lu didn't pay attention to what I said now, but said to herself: "After you left my house last time, my mother has been talking about why you haven't been going to see the two of them for so long, and now my mother has given me a death order at home." If you don't come to my house during the Spring Festival this year, I won't be able to go back......"
Chen Lu's tone became weaker as she spoke, it seems that Aunt Chen and the others still remember the last time I went to her house, could it be that Aunt Chen has already acquiesced to me being her son-in-law?
I was a little embarrassed and said, "Didn't we just say it was good last time?" And didn't you tell them afterwards that we had broken up? ”
"Isn't it almost the New Year, there are a lot of things going on in the house. And last time, I spent a lot of time and energy to save Liu Sanjin. So I didn't tell them about it, and my mom only told me about it when I got home yesterday, otherwise I would have forgotten about it. At that time, I didn't want to tell them that we had broken up, after all, the Chinese New Year was coming soon, and this would inevitably affect their mood, so ...... I have to look for you again......" Chen Lu said all the reasons in one breath.
I was a little embarrassed after hearing her say that Liu Sanjin came out, Chen Lu did help a lot in this matter, and we didn't even invite someone to dinner, so this favor has always been owed there, now Chen Lu said this, I am a little embarrassed, and now it happens that the plan to deal with Huo Han needs the help of Old Man Chen, so I didn't refuse, and agreed directly.
Within two minutes of hanging up the phone, Chen Lu appeared in front of me in a car, as if she knew where I was.
On the way, I suddenly remembered that at Huo Han's wedding that day, when the old man brought so many armed policemen to save people, I was at the scene, although I am not sure if the old man saw me, but Chen Lu came to take away the fat man, and I did inform her to come, and the old man finally appeared with a large number of armed policemen to take away Chen Lu, whether they arranged it in advance, I don't know.
So I asked her this question in the car, and Chen Lu said helplessly: "I don't know why he appeared so timely that day, I didn't inform him of this before, I only told our colleagues in the group, that is, the people who appeared at the scene with me that day, but judging from the speed of my father's appearance and the fact that so many armed police came, he should have been prepared a long time ago, but you don't have to worry, he shouldn't have mobilized so many armed police after learning about us, The Huo family's influence in Jiangcheng is so great, Huo Zhonglei's son's wedding is naturally indispensable to those bigwigs and some high-ranking officials in society, so once something happens in such a big scene, the consequences are incalculable, my father is the director, so he should have mobilized the police in advance to prevent emergencies, as for our affairs, it may just happen to bump into. ”
Listening to Chen Lu say this, I suddenly felt that what she said made some sense, then the old man didn't know that this matter was related to me, as long as he didn't see me on the wedding day, then if I went to see him now as his future son-in-law, it shouldn't be a big problem.
After thinking about this, when I passed by a supermarket, I asked Chen Lu to pull over and stop the car immediately, Chen Lu also braked sharply at this time, thinking that I was in a hurry, fortunately, both of us were wearing seat belts, Chen Lu glanced at me and said: "Next time, can you not be so surprised, suddenly stopping on the road is a very dangerous thing, do you know?" ”
I smiled and returned: "I didn't want to go last time when I went to your house and didn't buy anything, and now it's about to be the New Year, and if I go to your house again at this time, if I still don't bring anything, I guess my aunt's good impression of me will definitely be gone, so at this time I have to go to the supermarket to buy something to bring with me." ”
While talking, Chen Lu drove the car to the side of the road and parked it, and said, "I didn't see that your heart is quite fine at this time, have you been to Xia Yutong's house like this?" ”
The big fuss at the Huo family's wedding before, Chen Lu knew that I did it to save Xia Yutong, so I had nothing to deceive at this time, I just smiled awkwardly, after all, I didn't really go to Xia Yutong's house, and I ...... last night
As I spoke, I asked him what Mr. Chen and his aunt liked to eat, but Chen Lu took his bag and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to pick it up." ”
After saying that, Chen Lu opened the car door and got out of the car, and then I realized that a woman would be so experienced if she dressed up carefully, although it was winter now, but the winter in the south was not so cold, so Chen Lu did not wrap herself tightly in a down jacket like other girls.
Chen Lu was wearing high heels, eight-point high pants, and a light shirt on her top, if she hadn't gotten out of the car to buy things at this time, I really didn't find that Chen Lu was so amazing and fashionable model at this time when I was in the car before.
I was almost stunned when I saw it, Chen Lu, who took off his police uniform, walked in the crowd when he put on a fashionable casual clothes, and was undoubtedly the most eye-catching model, when I followed Chen Lu into the mall, there were a lot of eyes coming and going, and there were many eyes on the two of us, envy, disdain, and disdain, but more obscene.
The whole procurement process is completely Chen Lu is in charge of alone, I didn't say a word in the whole process, just followed behind silently holding things, looking at this posture, Chen Lu is more like buying things for herself, rather than buying things for her parents, because what she buys is not anything to eat and drink, but some cosmetics and some fashion coats imported from abroad.
Watching these things increase one by one, my heart began to chuckle non-stop, because these things are worth a lot of money, and when the time comes, I will have to shed my skin even if I don't die, where did I get so much money?
Originally, I thought that it would be nice to take a carton of milk, buy some biscuits, and then take a few bottles of local liquor and buy some good cigarettes, just like we did when we were kids, but now that I look at the ones I have in my hands, I really want to seal my mouth, and it would be nice not to say that.
Chen Lu led me to walk around half of the mall, and after I couldn't find a free place to take anything else with my two hands, Chen Lu smiled with satisfaction and said, "It's almost now, let's go, go pay the bill." ”
After saying that, Chen Lu was about to leave, but I stood and looked at Chen Lu with an ugly face and said, "I...... I don't have that much money, and all these things you buy are too expensive......"
At this time, Chen Lu suddenly said in a questioning tone: "Are these things expensive?" I'm already trying to pick a cheap one, okay, who told you that the last time you met my parents, you said that you have your own company, and you have such a great ability to go to see my parents, you can't just buy some fruit or something, how shabby it is. ”
When I heard Chen Lu say this, I also felt that it made sense, so I didn't say anything more, and then said: "But I really didn't have so much money on me, you know what I said is just a mouthful of bragging." ”
