Chapter 221: Hospitality

"Dad, who is this up there?" As a young child, I looked at my father innocently, and at that time, in my eyes, he was so tall.

Who knew that my father, who wanted to be peaceful with me, lost his temper with me for the first time, "It's not your business, how are you practicing today?" ”

I pursed my lips and tears rolled in my eyes.

Seeing that my father was very angry with my wide eyes, I tried to strain my mouth and wash my nose, and finally held back my tears.

"I told you before, there are some things you should know, I will naturally tell you, but you don't have to worry about these things for me, a child." After speaking, he dragged me directly to the piano, "If you don't practice these today, you don't have to think about going out to play." ”

I have the impression that this is the first time that my father has lost such a temper with me.

"What, I'm just curious, I won't tell me if I don't tell me, I don't want to know yet." Out of anger, I deliberately pressed the piano keys very loudly that day.

And my father didn't know where to run, and I didn't see him for a whole day.

From that day on, the child's curiosity intensified, and I tried to find the picture again, but I couldn't find it, and I didn't see it again until my father died.

Because of the abnormality of my father's behavior in this incident, I really remembered it for a long time, but then I slowly forgot about it, and if I hadn't seen this photo again today, I don't think I would have remembered it again.

But at this moment, my memories are almost paved up, and the turbulence makes me unable to resist.

"What's wrong with you?" Qiao Nancheng finally saw that something was wrong with me and looked at me nervously.

I shook my head, "No, it's fine. I didn't have the strength to respond to him, so I just waved my hand, "Don't tell your father about this first." "I think there must be a reason why my father didn't let me ask and never mentioned it.

"Why?" Sure enough, Qiao Nancheng looked puzzled, just like me back then, "My dad and your dad are good friends, shouldn't you be happy about this matter?" ”

"I've seen the others, but this one, my father said that he couldn't find it for too long, you said, is it a providence that I found you?"

I opened my mouth and was about to say something when the phone rang.

One glance at the caller ID, I didn't know if I should answer the call or not.

"Who, Ruolin, why didn't you answer your call?"

I was stunned for a moment and nodded.

"Hello?"

"Shen Ruolin, where have you been, I went to the hospital and the nurse said that you have been discharged, come to your home and your company, there is no one here." Lu Yan's voice carried a hint of anxiety.

"At a friend's house," I said directly without thinking about it, "Can't I have a friend, Mr. Lu, don't think of everything else as yours, okay?" "I showed him almost no mercy.

"Where the hell are you?" Lu Yan didn't pay attention to what I said, and still insisted on asking me where I was, "You know, even if you don't say it, I have the strength to find you." ”

I immediately sneered, "Yes, you are Mr. Lu, what can't you do, I'll tell you today, you won't find me." "Maybe it's because of my father's affairs, I have a nameless fire in my heart, and I'm always thinking about how to vent it.

"Don't make a fuss, okay?" Lu Yan's tone finally softened, and the tone of his speech to me changed at this time, "I'm worried, where are you, I'll pick you up." ”

"If you're really good for me, don't bother with this, Lu Yan, don't think I'm going to be grateful to you." I hung up the phone after I finished speaking angrily, not giving him any chance to resist the explanation at all.

"Lu Yan?" Qiao Nancheng put the phone back in anger when he saw me, and asked a little cautiously.

I nodded, "Forget it, ignore him, let's go." "I looked at Qiao Nancheng as a matter of course.

"What?" Qiao Nancheng was startled, he probably didn't react to what I said.

"Go and see your father, it's also my father's old friend, no matter what, you still have to know what happened to them back then." I looked at Qiao Nancheng without saying a word.

I've decided to figure out what happened back then, because I know that my father is still very concerned about this matter in his heart.

I discussed it with Qiao Nancheng, and he would act as the vanguard first, ask what was going on with that photo first, and then tell the truth when the time was right.

Soon it was time for dinner, and after all, my guest, with Qiao Nancheng and his parents, the four of us sat down at the table.

"This is Xiao Shen, right? I heard that it was thanks to you before, otherwise, our Ah Cheng would not be as lively as it is now. Qiao Nancheng's mother picked up her wine glass and said to me politely and detachedly.

I hurriedly bowed, "Look at what you said, Qiao Nancheng and I are friends, and this is what I should do." As he spoke, he drank all the wine in his glass.

Who knew that my cup was suddenly snatched in the middle of the process.

"Your illness is just right, the doctor said to eat something light, and today you will replace the bar with water." Saying that, he helped me change a glass of water.

I noticed that Qiao's mother's face, which was still pleasant just now, pressed down a little, and hurriedly gave Qiao Nancheng a look.

"Okay, just have a meal, don't drink today, let's eat." Qiao Nancheng's father didn't even raise his head, but the deep voice reached my ears like a magic power, making me shudder and shiver.

I quietly raised my eyes and glanced at Qiao Nancheng, signaling him not to say anything yet.

Qiao Nancheng misunderstood, he thought I was in a hurry, so he coughed hurriedly and raised his eyes to scan the circle.

The eyes that were originally quite confident, but when they turned to his father, they stopped cooking, and his expression changed to that of a schoolboy who made a mistake.

"I, I just want to ask you, how come I never saw another uncle in that photo in the study." Qiao Nancheng stumbled and finally asked a question.

On the surface, I bowed my head and ate seriously, but in fact I kept my guard up for one hundred and twenty minutes, and carefully observed his expression in private.

Sure enough, there was a moment of loosening, what was in that complicated eyes? Blame for myself or guilt, but it was quickly disguised perfectly, but I noticed it anyway.

"Ahem, Cheng'er, don't talk about that, come, let's eat." Qiao Nancheng's mother said as she sandwiched him some food.

Qiao Nancheng's father was silent for a moment, and a strange atmosphere suddenly circulated at the dinner table.

I raised my head slightly, trying to pretend that this matter had nothing to do with me, but who knew that Qiao Nancheng's father's eyes were directly fixed on me.

"You're his child?"

I didn't speak, and I saw that the face of my mother who went to Qiao Nancheng changed, and then waved her hand to the subordinates, "You guys go out first." ”

I felt a little uneasy in my heart, I don't know why, I always felt that something was going to happen today.

Qiao Nancheng's father took a deep breath and stood up, he looked at me heavily, "Okay Cheng'er, send her back." ”

Qiao Nancheng and I glanced at each other and saw the unbelievable in each other's eyes.

He was the first to react and grabbed my arm, "Let's go," he gave a look and whispered something in his mouth.

"Ah, okay," I nodded after him, "then uncle and aunt, I'll go first." With that, I picked up my coat directly.

I didn't say anything about seeing him next time, and if it weren't for my father's business, I don't think I would ever want to see him again.

Until I and Qiao Nancheng were going out, his parents didn't show up directly, I shook my head with a little cry and laughter, and some regretted why I came over, and when the two of us went out, as soon as the door opened, I saw Lu Yan who was about to knock on the door.

"You?" I don't know why, the moment I saw Lu Yan, I felt my heart beat violently, and I became a little incoherent.

The corners of Lu Yan's mouth drew a sneer, and he directly pulled me into his arms, "I said I would find you." He whispered in my ear.

He raised an eyebrow, "Let's go, go home with me." ”

I looked at his gentle eyes, and my bad state of mind just now suddenly got better.

"Otherwise, let Lu Yan take me home," I turned to Qiao Nancheng and said, "You're tired today, so rest early." ”

Qiao Nancheng looked at me again and again, and then looked at Lu Yan.

"Alright then," he sighed, "I'll send me a message when you get home, or I'll be at ease." ”

I nodded, turned around and followed Lu Yan away.

"You go back, I'll just go alone." After confirming that I was out of sight of Qiao Nancheng, I changed my indifferent face and said this.

Lu Yan may have been frightened by such a change from me.

"What's the matter with you, Ruolin?" He took a deep breath and said, "Just now you,"

"I just didn't want Qiao Nancheng to send me back just now," a sneer flashed at the corner of my mouth, "but you are the same, don't follow me." ”、

Although I had a lot of backbone, I directly got rid of Lu Yan and wanted to go alone, but this was a villa area, and there were no taxis at all, so Lu Yan kept driving a slow car behind me.

"Oops," although I was wearing flat shoes, there were inevitably some uneven potholes on the road, and I accidentally broke my foot and fell there.

If people are unlucky, they will even drink cold water and stuff their teeth. I thought with some indignation.

"Are you alright?" Lu Yan hurriedly got out of the car and held me in his arms.

"Let's go," I still wanted to struggle, but at this time, I could say that I was tired, hungry, anxious and angry, and I didn't have any extra strength at all.
