Chapter 92: Simple Guy
"Come, babe, your favorite fried foie gras." Kong Wenjia sat on Beibei's right and sandwiched a piece of foie gras for the little girl who was still angry, she could always play a reconciling role at the right time, looking so generous and considerate.
"Thank you, Sister Kong!" Bei Bei finally showed a bright smile, she was always so innocent, and the transition between happy and unhappy was unexpected.
Richard finally smiled when he watched Bei Bei on the other side, and he also accompanied the giggle and carefully moved the dishes and chopsticks.
Zhang Lu witnessed the game between the two teachers, one big and one young, and she finally understood that this was simply a conversation between an old child and a child who had no scheming at all. Zhang Lu began to guess that this Richard's love and liking for his mother may really be just his simple yearning.
"Beibei, you can talk first." Zhang Lu picked up a glass of juice and took a sip, looked at Bei Bei and said, then looked at Richard, signaling that it was time for her to have a good talk, Zhang Lu wanted to know the origin of this Richard.
Bei Bei was greedily eating her favorite foie gras, and when she heard Zhang Lu say this, she blinked, picked up a napkin and wiped her lips, and then looked at Richard: "I will go to a dance party next Friday, Aunt Chen, that is, Zhang Lu's mother, will also go with me then, I think this is a good opportunity for you to get close to her." ”
Richard's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly, "This is really ...... That's great...... Thank you...... Babe. ”
Bei Bei was unmoved in the face of the excited Richard, she looked at Zhang Lu and said, "Right now, I'm afraid the problem you are facing may no longer be my attitude, but her." After Bei Bei finished speaking, he pouted at Zhang Lu.
Richard immediately realized that his biggest obstacle might still be Zhang Lu, but fortunately he at least had Beibei's support, but Beibei seemed to have an extraordinary relationship with Zhang Lu, so he wasn't too worried.
Through Richard's contact with Zhang Lu just now, he can basically conclude that Zhang Lu's coldness when she first met him should be deliberately shown by her, but in fact, she seems to have a pretty cheerful personality. In the end, Richard looked at Zhang Lu with a smile, but he still didn't have the courage to talk to Zhang Lu about it, after all, it really made people feel a little embarrassed.
Kong Wenjia saw that Richard was a little embarrassed, so she looked at Zhang Lu with a smile, expecting her to show her attitude no matter what.
Zhang Lu put the juice on the table, she didn't look at Richard, she was silent for a while and suddenly asked, "Do you like my mother?" ”
"Yes." Richard nodded his head.
"Why?" Zhang Lu forced Richard's eyes, as if to see through his heart.
Richard didn't expect Zhang Lu to ask like this, he was a little surprised, and paused with his mouth half-open for a while before squeezing out a few words: "I...... I don't know! ”
Bei Bei saw Richard's clumsy appearance and began to get anxious, frowning and asking Richard, "What did you say?" ”
Richard suddenly realized that he was not acting properly, so he quickly added, "I mean...... She's so beautiful, there's no reason why I can't be impressed by her, yes, she's so beautiful. ”
Richard swallowed and continued to add excitedly: "When I first saw her, I was simply stunned and I knew she was going to be mine. Oh, no! I mean, my heart belongs to her only from now on. Damn it...... I want to say that I really fell in love with her, in love with your mom, even if it was just the first time I saw her, I fell in love with her, and that's it. ”
After Richard finished speaking, Kong Wenjia, Bei Bei and Zhang Lu looked at each other, which was simply speechless, and finally Kong Wenjia snorted and laughed: "It seems that you really love Auntie." ”
Zhang Lu didn't speak, Bei Bei smiled a little angrily, she knew that Zhang Lu must have more questions, she knew Zhang Lu, and Kong Wenjia certainly knew this.
Sure enough, Zhang Lu continued to ask him: "But we don't know you at all, you don't look young anymore, aren't you married?" ”
Richard's face suddenly turned a little ugly when he heard this, and he was silent for a long time. The others suddenly felt that the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing, especially Zhang Lu's brows, which wrinkled more and more tightly, she would never allow anyone to play with her mother's feelings, and she would never tolerate her mother being deceived.
Finally, Richard finally spoke with difficulty: "Yes, I am not married. ”
"Do you dare to swear?" Zhang Lu said coldly, she saw that Richard was so difficult to answer, and concluded that this was definitely a lie.
"Yes, I swear that if I tell a lie, I will pay with my life." Richard could see Zhang Lu's doubts, and he answered calmly and crisply.
Zhang Lu was completely confused by this Richard, she felt that this guy was definitely not so simple, so she continued to ask sharply: "Tell me, what is the purpose of your attempt to get close to my mother!" ”
Richard was in a hurry, and he explained excitedly: "Miss Zhang Lu, I swear that I am absolutely not lying, I am willing to exchange everything I have for your trust and your mother's love." ”
"But you don't look like anything! Do you think you are worthy of my mother? I mean, at all levels, are you worthy? Zhang Lu seized the opportunity to continue to test Richard, and did not let go of him, she must not be sloppy about her mother's happiness.
Richard opened his mouth and was silent for a long time, then shrugged helplessly, he looked a little out of control.
But Richard finally calmed down and said calmly: "I think the greatness of love is that it is sacred, and its sacredness should not be bound by class." Love, let our world appear all kinds of beauty, because we all have the right to pursue our own love. ”
"Really? But I don't think your arguments are convincing, you ignore the reality of society and live in a fairy tale. Zhang Lu retorted to Richard ruthlessly.
Richard didn't expect Zhang Lu to be so difficult to deal with, and he finally argued: "If you give me a chance and don't hinder me from dating your mother, I will prove it to you and prove that your idea is wrong." ”
Bei Bei finally became more and more anxious when she heard this, and she stared at Zhang Lu closely, expecting her to give Richard a chance.
Bei Bei knows a little bit about Richard, although he doesn't seem to be worthy of his aunt, but he has a rare kindness and innocence. This may not seem to be Richard's most important weight on the surface, but if you add his courage, it may be the most sincere love, and maybe this is what Auntie wants.
Bei Bei actually never thought of introducing someone to her aunt casually, but only once she felt that Richard's character and character were okay, so she had this idea, and of course, her desire for the second-level authority of the space agency.
"You have the right to pursue her, but don't forget that I also have an obligation to protect my mother."
Zhang Lu actually just wants to know and gain insight into Richard as much as possible, and she also knows that Bei Bei is worried about her attitude, but Zhang Lu believes that with Bei Bei's personality, the reason why this matter has developed so far, Richard should have something worthy of Bei Bei's affirmation, which will make Bei Bei want to promote the marriage between the two of them.
"I have reason to suspect your motives for approaching my mother, and of course I need you to prove it, and I don't think there's anything wrong with what I said." Zhang Lu finally expressed his attitude euphemistically.
Bei Bei immediately understood what Zhang Lu meant, and she immediately gave Richard a look. Unfortunately, Richard obviously misunderstood Zhang Lu's last sentence, he thought that Zhang Lu still didn't trust him and suspected his motives for trying to get close to Chen Qiuhua.
Richard stubbornly believes that Zhang Lu believes that his true love for Chen Qiuhua is a success when he expresses his belief in Chen Qiuhua's face-to-face, but he does not understand that Zhang Lu actually wants to explain that her approach is completely out of prudence, no matter who will have concerns, so Richard needs to prove his sincerity.
"I'm sorry you look at me like that, I don't think I have much more to say. Of course, you're right, and I really have no reason for you to believe me. Richard didn't notice that Bei Bei gave him a look, and he replied to Zhang Lu a little frustratedly, he could only pin his hopes on Bei Bei for now.
After Richard finished speaking, Zhang Lu, Bei Bei and Kong Wenjia were surprised again, and then everyone looked at each other, which one was this guy singing.
In the end, Kong Wenjia reacted quickly, she realized that Richard misunderstood Zhang Lu, so she explained to Richard with a smile: "I think you misunderstood, she means not to refuse you to contact Aunt Zhang for the time being, but she retains her own views and attitudes, until you prove what you said later, that is, to prove your valuable heart for Aunt Zhang, she will really bless and support you." ”
Richard immediately became excited when he heard this, and he turned his face and asked Beibei: "Is that so?" ”
Bebe looked at Richard in disbelief, and she stared at Richard with wide eyes in disbelief, and finally did not speak.
"Stupid." Zhang Lu looked at Richard and scolded coldly.
Richard was finally convinced that he had misunderstood what Zhang Lu had just meant, and thanked Zhang Lu again and again.
Zhang Lu could see that Richard had really misunderstood herself just now, and the stone in her heart had finally been put down, this guy did seem to be relatively simple.
When she arrived here, Zhang Lu's mood finally relaxed a lot, she looked at Bei Bei and laughed evilly: "I said Bei Bei, is it appropriate for you to introduce such a stupid person to my mother?" ”
As soon as Bei Bei heard it, she knew that Zhang Lu was joking with herself, she glanced at Richard and said, "Wronged, I don't know if he's like this!" ”
Richard smiled and explained for a long time: "I'm a little excited, it's a complete accident, it doesn't mean I'm really stupid, I swear." ”
Kong Wenjia on the side smiled and said, "I believe in you, Richard." ”
"Thank you." Richard nodded respectfully to Kong Wenjia.
"Okay, no matter what, you're still our elder, I don't think our role today should be like this, you might as well talk to us as your dean." Zhang Lu knew that he would accept it if he wanted to see it, Richard's first impression of himself was basically qualified, although this guy was not particularly outstanding in appearance, but his modest and frank personality did make people feel very comfortable, and it was undeniable that he had a positive aura.
"I'd love to know how you got Level 2 clearance for the Space Agency, Richard." Zhang Lu looked at Richard's eyes a little more serious and kind when she spoke, after all, she really didn't hate this guy, and she wasn't used to her aggressive posture, but she did a villain for her mother today.
"yes, I'm curious, you shouldn't be lying to me." After Bei Bei clarified Zhang Lu's attitude towards Richard, there was no doubt that what she was most concerned about next was naturally this doubt that had been kept in her heart, and she was also eager to know the truth.
Richard faced Zhang Lu, Bei Bei and even Kong Wenjia with expectant eyes, he was a little flustered again, good guy, it turns out that they are most concerned about this.
So Richard thought for a moment and said, "I have a very good friend who is from the space agency, and I can ask for this permission." ”
Richard still felt that something was wrong, so he spread his hands again: "You guys are so concerned about this issue, the previous conversation should be counted, this makes me a little worried." ”
After Zhang Lu listened, she could tell from Richard's eyes that he was not lying, but Richard's serious appearance made people happy, but Zhang Lu couldn't help but laugh, she looked at Bei Bei and then at Kong Wenjia, and the eye contact between the three finally broke out in the end, and she burst out laughing.
Richard waited for Bei Bei to laugh enough, and then looked at Kong Wenjia and Zhang Lu nervously, witnessing the mysterious smiles on their faces, Richard asked a little excitedly: "Hey! Did you hear what I said, I have reason to fear that the three of you are conspiring to try to defraud me of my authority. ”
At last the three girls burst out laughing, leaving Richard alone to look at them helplessly, with worry and loneliness on his face.
In the end, Bei Bei couldn't bear to look at Richard's nervous and helpless appearance, she stopped and comforted him: "Don't worry, I'm still worried that you will lie to us." ”
"Then why are you laughing so weirdly, what am I saying wrong? It's not funny at all, is it. Richard was still confused.
Bei Bei suppressed his smile and said to Richard seriously: "Next Friday, we will arrange a chance meeting between the two of you and go to a big ball together, and then it will depend on your own creation, and we will not interfere with your love." ”
"But ......," Richard looked at Zhang Lu and didn't continue.
"You don't have to worry about us lying to you, if you have the ability to make my mother fall in love with you, it's useless for me to regret it then, what do you think?" Zhang Lu finally let go of Richard, she felt that her mother needed this man without scheming, and her mother's life should not only be about career and daughter, she also needed a pure love.
"Well, it seems that I have to do this for the sake of love." Richard finished talking and looked at Beibei, she was the only person he could trust at the moment, he knew Beibei.
"So, Dear Dean Richard, when can you show us your Space Agency Level 2 clearance, I hope this is before we go to the prom." Zhang Lu naturally wants to make sure that everything goes wrong for Beibei.
Richard was not surprised at this time, he nodded briskly: "If you can, I'll show it to Bei Bei next Monday, it's in the school." ”
Zhang Lu listened and looked at Beibei, who nodded to everyone without hesitation: "Well, no problem." ”
