Chapter 280: Having a house and a car is refreshing
At noon the next day, after the bell rang for the end of class, Xia Xue packed up her desk and walked out of the office.
As soon as Xia Xue walked out of the house, she saw Jacques walking on campus with an elderly couple. With a smile on his face and a soft gaze, he pointed around the campus as he walked, as if he was making an introduction to the elderly.
After a while, the principal hurried over from outside the school gate, walked over to the two old men enthusiastically, and bowed excitedly to say hello.
Xia Xue walked over with some doubts, thinking to herself, could this old man be Jacques's stepfather and mother Jones? She believes in her own telepathy. But Jacques didn't say his parents were here last night, did they?
Jacques had already seen Xia Xue, and smiled happily at Xia Xue, with a complicated situation in his eyes.
Xia Xue's heart suddenly became a little nervous, which was really inexplicable.
Xia Xue approached the two kind old men, bowed politely, and smiled implicitly.
Jacques introduces his parents.
The two old men looked at Xia Xue meaningfully and greeted each other.
These two old men are indeed Jacques's stepfather and mother. I really didn't expect that Jacques had just mentioned it last night, and they were in the Grand Canyon today.
After Jones saw Xia Xue, his eyes never left an inch. She held Xia Xue's hand tightly and looked at Xia Xue with a smile on her face, as if she had seen her daughter who had been reunited after a long absence.
Xia Xue was a little embarrassed to look at her, and she blushed and smiled. Jacques, I talked about you last night, but I didn't expect you two to come over today.
At this time, Jacques's stepfather smiled cheerfully. Jacques must be telling you about my romance with Jones, right?
Xia Xue smiled and nodded. Worried that Jacques would be upset, she turned her head to look at Jacques. Instead of feeling awkward, Jacques happily patted his stepfather on the shoulder.
Jacques's stepfather, tall and tough, and full of energy, did not look like a 70-year-old man at all.
Jones's figure was slightly fat, with a fair complexion, a good face, and a straight back. It looks like she should be much younger than her husband. Although she is an old person, she is still charming, and she must have been a beautiful woman with outstanding appearance when she was young.
Jones said to Xia Xue with a smile. Mr. Xia, Jacques often mentions you on the phone, and he seems to like you very much! Jones said this, paused, and whispered. We love you too, you are really beautiful and charming, like a lovely angel sent by God!
Xia Xue didn't expect Jones to say this, and opened her mouth slightly in surprise. She was stunned for a moment before she smiled embarrassedly and said thank you to the old man.
After introducing the campus to his parents, Jacques showed them the construction site and told them that a new campus would be built soon.
The two old men, who seemed to be in a good mood, had a smile on their faces all the time. After they looked around the campus, it was already noon and it was time for lunch.
Xia Xue walked up to Jacques and whispered. At noon, how about inviting the old man to a dumpling restaurant for dinner?
Jacques said unceremoniously, I think so too, anyway, when you get there, you have a treat, and I don't have to break the bank. After speaking, he looked at Xia Xue mischievously and smiled, and blinked vigorously.
Xia Xue smiled, glanced at Jacques, and said again. Jacques, I want to buy a car, you can help me choose one.
Jacques looked at Xia Xue in surprise and said. You're not familiar with this side and it's not safe to drive. There's something to go out about, isn't there still me?
Xia Xue insisted. The turnover of the dumpling restaurant is rising every day, and I keep the money and don't spend it, do I wait for them to grow hair?
Jacques shook his head and sighed, what an upstart!
Xia Xue pursed her lips, glanced at Jacques, and said. If you have a house and a car, you will feel refreshed. I have a house, and if I have a car, it will be convenient for me to travel.
Jacques looked at Xia Xue dotingly and said helplessly. Okay, I'll help you choose a car in two days.
Principal, I can't go to dinner because I have something to do at noon. So, Xia Xueyak accompanied the two old men to the dumpling restaurant.
A short distance after they walked out, they heard the sound of motorcycles driving behind them.
A group of people gave way to the side of the road, wanting to let the motorcycle drive over first.
However, the burly man on the motorcycle stopped the motorcycle.
He slowly took off his black helmet, parked his motorcycle, and walked excitedly towards Jones.
Jones was stunned for a moment, then recognized the man, smiled happily, and shouted. My child, are you okay?
The man, happily holding Jones in his arms, said excitedly. Mother Jones, I'm fine, are you and dad okay?
The man kissed Jones on the cheek, immediately let go of Jones, and went back to hug Jacques' stepfather. They seem to be close, like a family.
Jacques, smiling, looked at the man in some surprise.
After a few moments, the man turned around, walked up to Jacques, smiled and punched Jacques in the shoulder.
Jacques reached out, grabbed his opponent's fist, and smiled disapprovingly. You're coming, why don't you say it in advance?
The man laughed. I heard that Your Excellency parents are coming, so of course I have to make a special trip to see it. Speaking of thisγγγγγγ man in the morning, glanced at Xia Xue with some scruples, and continued. In the morning, I went over there to take a look, and it was going well, thank you dude!
Jacques nodded and said, Let's go, come and eat with us!
Xia Xue was very strange, Jacques was unusual, and after a long time, he didn't introduce Xia Xue and the strange man, and didn't seem to want them to know each other.
The man said, "All right!" With Jacques, walk forward.
The man took two steps, then stopped, and turned around to stare at Xia Xue behind him in surprise. Then he looked at Jacques with deep eyes, and he stopped talking.
Jacques also stopped, looked at the man in embarrassment for a few seconds, and said nothing.
But at this moment, it seems that the two people have completed their unique communication, and both sides must have already had an answer.
The man pondered for a moment, looked up at Xia Xue, smiled slightly, and looked at Jacques coldly.
Jacques, who is this beautiful lady? Why, aren't you going to let me know?
Jacques glanced at the man indignantly and said. This lady, it's a colleague of mineγγγγγγ well, she's just been here. Jacques slurred, but did not report Xia Xue's name.
The man's expression froze, and he said with a half-smile on his face. It's Teacher Xia Xue, right? Right!
Xia Xue was stunned, she didn't understand how this person who met for the first time knew her name? She hurriedly smiled and nodded, and said, Yes, my name is Xia Xue.
The man nodded, his eyes solemn, and he looked at Xia Xue quietly. After a while, he said, Hello, Xia Xue!
Jacques said impatiently, coming over to play the round. We said as we walked, Xia Xue still has to go back to school in the afternoon?
After speaking, Jacques patted the man's shoulder and said to Xia Xue. This fierce guy is my comrade-in-arms and my best brother! My mother, who counts him as her own son!
Xia Xue nodded with a smile, but felt a little strange in her heart. Why did that man know his name? He seems to have some kind of prejudice against himself, and he seems to be hostile.
The group walked to the dumpling restaurant and sat in a separate spacious room.
The waiter walked in, served drinks to everyone, and carefully introduced the varieties of dumplings to the guests.
After a few moments, the waiter walked out.
Jacques and his comrade-in-arms walked out of the dumpling restaurant and smoked in front of the door.
Comrade-in-arms, staring sharply at Jacques, said hatefully. Wow, you kid can do that! People entrusted me to look for that summer snow, but I still can't give anyone an explanation. What about you, this person is right under your nose, but you don't tell me! If I hadn't seen the picture of this woman beforehand, I'm afraid I would have been fooled by you this time, right?
Jacques didn't speak, smoking a cigarette. After a while, he said. You're right, this person is the Xia Xue you're looking for! However, I like her now and don't want to give her over.
The comrade-in-arms, looking at Jacques in disbelief, said angrily. Don't you know that that woman is pregnant with the Xue family's child in her belly? I owe Xue Han a favor, so he has something to find me now, and I have to repay him this favor! Otherwise, if I can't even help with this, how will I hang out with those friends in the future?
Jacques frowned deeply, looked down in thought, and took a few puffs of his cigarette. He turned his eyes up, looked at his comrades steadily, and said firmly. This Chinese woman, I love her and don't want to lose her! Therefore, I will never hand her over to Xue Han! You are my best brother, don't push me. You just told Xue Han that Xia Xue was not in the United States, let him go to other countries to find out.
However, Xue Han did us a great favor back then. Back then, our people made a homicide case on their side and almost folded in! Later, fortunately, Xue Han worked hard to settle the life lawsuit as a traffic accident. The comrade-in-arms, speaking sternly, stared at Jacques coldly.
Jacques was unmoved, his brow furrowed in silence, and he didn't say a word. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he asked. You just said that the troublesome incident ended in a traffic accident?
Between the fingers of his comrades-in-arms, he held a huge cigar, nodded his head heavily, and said. Yes, fortunately, Xue Han helped us out, otherwise we would be in big trouble! He has been kind to us, and now that he has something to ask us for, shouldn't we repay him? If we are ungrateful, for the sake of a woman, and don't think about the friendship on the rivers and lakes, then how can we gain a foothold in the future!
At this time, Xia Xue walked out of the store and shouted enthusiastically. Hi, the dumplings are cooked, come in and eat!
Jacques and his comrades-in-arms suddenly looked at each other when they heard Xia Xue's shout, and they were stunned for a while.
Jacques then smiled at Xia Xue and said, Okay, you eat first, we will go in to eat immediately after smoking this cigarette.
Well, well! Xia Xue agreed softly, turned around and returned to the house.
The comrade-in-arms looked at Jacques angrily and said. Didn't you kid not be interested in women in the past? What's the matter now, for the sake of a woman, he even hid his own brother? I'll tell you, this woman, I have to hand it over to Xue Han! Which one is the most important compared to the morality of the rivers and lakes and women? You don't need me to tell you a lot about this, right?
Jacques bowed his head gloomily and remained silent.
After a moment, he threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and said with a resolute gaze. I love Xia Xue, I want to protect her! She is more important to me than any morality!
