Chapter 148: Make her apologize
"You're here too, that's great."
Seeing that it was his friend, Gu He was also surprised. The two were immersed in the joy of meeting, and they didn't have time to introduce the people around them.
"Come, let me introduce you, this is my daughter-in-law. Hey, your daughter-in-law is really back, I thought I was wrong yesterday. ”
The old friend excitedly introduced his daughter-in-law, but was surprised to find Tong Xin next to him. But she never thought that she would recognize the wrong person, but the news she inadvertently revealed made Gu He frown slightly.
"Wait, what did you say you saw my daughter-in-law, where did you see it?"
Although the words of the old friend did not match the words, Gu He still heard the key at once, and quickly seized the opportunity to ask.
"Hospital, it's just that my husband is a little unwell and hospitalized, and I happened to see your daughter-in-law doing a ward round last night, and she was very serious."
The old friend who didn't know the inside story at all praised Tong Xia as soon as he opened his mouth, but he didn't know that Tong Xin and Gu He were embarrassed.
After the daughter-in-law of an old friend noticed the difference in the looks of the two, she immediately quietly reminded her mother-in-law, "What's wrong with you?" ”
They are all friends for many years, and they know if the other party is okay with a single look, and when they see Gu He's thoughtful appearance, the old friend can't help but care.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just think the world is pretty small."
Gu He didn't directly deny Tong Xin's identity, he just wanted to figure out the secret quickly, and after thinking of a certain possibility, his eyes looking at Tong Xin also changed slightly.
The old friend who had come out to do errands didn't stay long, and left after chatting for a while. As soon as Gu He saw his old friend walking away, his face immediately sank.
"Tell me, is she back?"
Gu He, who also worked hard in the shopping mall in his early years, figured out everything by stringing everything together. said that she was asking, in fact, she had already affirmed this fact, and what she didn't understand was Tong Xin's concealment.
Tong Xin, who was questioned, was afraid that Gu He would be estranged from herself because of this incident, so she told everything she knew, but when she spoke, she added some guiding words intentionally or unintentionally.
When he heard that Tong Xia wanted to cut off relations with everyone, Gu He couldn't wait to go to her immediately and teach her a hard lesson.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
After patiently listening to the whole story, Gu He still had some trouble with Tong Xin's concealment of his behavior, but Tong Xin reluctantly said that it was Tong Xia's request.
Because they knew the news of Tong Xia's return, Gu He and Tong Xin also separated directly. Tong Xin, who was sitting in place and watching Gu He leave, secretly grabbed the corner of her clothes, and hatred surged in her heart.
The angry Gu He wanted to go directly to Tong Xia, but when he arrived at the hospital, he realized that she was not going to work today. Gu He, who ran for nothing, only felt that Tong Xiasheng was against him, and cursed secretly in his heart.
At the door of the law firm, Shen Junyu, who was just about to go to the police station for a meeting with his assistant, saw his mother preparing to come in.
"You wait for me down there first. Mom, why are you here now? Shen Junyu, who felt strange about Gu He's sudden visit, thought something was wrong, and asked a little nervously.
"Hmph, how do I know how much my good son is hiding from me if I don't come!"
Shen Junyu has always been Gu He's pride, but in his marriage, it made her feel bad from the beginning. originally thought that as long as Tong Xia obediently gave birth to a child as soon as possible, he would pass, but it turned out to be like this.
"Mom, what are you talking about, I still have something, if you're not in a hurry, we'll go home in the evening."
Shen Junyu, who was originally worried about what was going on, heard her mother's familiar tone, and immediately understood that she was nothing serious, and looked at the time, and Shen Junyu, who was a little anxious, could only temporarily comfort.
"Hey, I haven't finished my sentence yet, what's so urgent, or are you deliberately avoiding me?"
Although he did see Shen Junyu planning to go out just now, Gu He, who was unwilling to let go of the opportunity like this, was still a little suspicious.
However, Shen Junyu didn't explain much, knowing that Gu He was impulsive, he directly dropped a sentence for the evening chat, and hurriedly got on the elevator, Gu He didn't even have time to say a word of safety advice.
His son is too good, and Gu He also feels helpless. She didn't want to delay her child's work, so she could only go home by herself first, but when she thought of Tong Xia's incident, she began to feel angry again.
"Why are you sitting here, your face is so ugly?"
Gu He, who knew that Shen Junyu would come back at night, began to tell the aunt at home to prepare the meal as soon as he came home, and waited for Shen Junyu to come back to start the meal.
It's just that it's not early, but he hasn't seen Shen Junyu for a long time, so when Shen's father came back, he saw Gu He sulking like this.
"You're back, you're not your good son, you're coming back, what time are you going?"
Seeing her husband come back, Gu He seemed to have found someone complaining, and directly told all the things that Shen Junyu had not promised.
However, Shen's father was very open-minded, and persuaded Gu He that Shen Junyu might be too busy with work and had something to do temporarily. Not only that, but also asked Gu He to be considerate of the child and not to disturb him more.
"I disturbed him, hum, who knows if it's really work or go to accompany his wife! Do you know that Tong Xia is back, but as a result, no one told us, you say, what is this? ”
Gu He, who didn't get her husband's understanding, directly expressed all the dissatisfaction in her heart, and even suspected that her son was going to find Tong Xia.
Father Shen, who was confused by Gu He's words, reacted to one thing for a long time, "You say, Tong Xia is back?" When did it happen? ”
Since Tong Xia left quietly, he has almost been forgotten in the Shen family, and even Gu He has secretly arranged blind dates for Shen Junyu several times.
"Yes, not only did they come back, but they also made up their minds not to tell us." Speaking of Tong Xia, Gu He was even more angry, and his mouth was full of ridicule.
"Mom, what do you say?"
Shen Junyu was doing temporary errands, so he came back late, and as soon as he got home, he heard his mother talking to his father.
"You came back just in time, your mother told me that Tong Xia is back, is this true?"
Originally, when he heard what his wife said, Shen's father was still a little confused, but it happened that Shen Junyu came back, so he simply asked directly.
Shen Junyu, who didn't expect his parents to know the news so early, was a little surprised, and his body that was changing his shoes couldn't help but stiffen slightly.
"Who do you listen to? She's back, what's wrong? ”
Although Shen Junyu was not ready to tell his parents, since he asked, he still answered truthfully, so that he would not have to tell more lies to fulfill this lie in the future.
"Look, I'll just say, you don't believe it."
Hearing Shen Junyu's admission, Gu He immediately stood up, his face gloomy. Father Shen's face was also a little unsightly, just like Gu He said, what did he mean when he came back but didn't tell them?
"You don't care how we know, I'll just ask you, why didn't you tell us?" Shen's father, who didn't pay attention to Gu He, stared at Shen Junyu with his eyes, and his momentum was compelling.
Shen Junyu, who had long expected that this day would come, did not delve into why his parents knew, and in the face of Shen's father's questioning, he was slightly silent.
"Why don't you speak? At this time, start pretending to be dumb? ”
Shen Junyu has always been the pride of Shen's father's heart, but in the matter of Tong Xia, he was very disappointed in Shen Junyu, looking at Shen Junyu's silent appearance, he was even more sarcastic and merciless.
Although Gu He, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't bear to let her son be scolded like this, she also wanted to know the reason, so she could only endure it.
"It was my idea that Tong Xia didn't tell you in time about his return, and it was my fault. As for the reason, there is no special reason, but I want to wait until she is stable. ”
Knowing that this matter must be explained to his parents, Shen Junyu did not hesitate to take all the responsibility directly on himself, and every word was the maintenance of Tong Xia.
However, Gu He, who had already known the whole story from Tong Xin, didn't believe what he said at all. "Things have come to this point, you are still covering for her, I really don't know what you think?"
Gu He, who couldn't reverse Shen Junyu's thoughts, hated iron and steel, and even though he had more anger in his heart, he couldn't say it to his own son.
"I don't care what you think or Tong Xia's idea, in short, you discuss it as soon as possible, and solve it for me before grandpa comes back."
Father Shen, who was in a good mood, was also in no mood now, and after the warning, he paced back to the room by himself.
Gu He seemed to want to say something, but he didn't expect Shen Junyu to speak before him. "Mom, since you already know that Xia Xia is back, don't give me those blind dates in the future."
After speaking, regardless of Gu He's reaction, Shen Junyu followed back to his room, he was a little tired and fell asleep directly, but Gu He stood alone in the living room, his heart was burning with anger, but there was no object to vent.
I don't know what I thought, Gu He suddenly took out the phone, and the nail art that he had spent a lot of money on was shining dazzlingly in the light.
"It's me Gu He. No need, I just want to ask today, do you Tong family think that my son is a bully, and all of them treat him like this? ”
As soon as the phone rang, Gu He spoke directly, without taking into account the mood of the person on the other end of the phone. Although the father and mother who received the call at night were a little confused, listening to Gu He's words still made them feel weak for a while.
"None? You guys are really big-hearted, don't blame me for speaking too directly, I just want to know what good daughter you think, just say goodbye a few years ago, but now that you're back, you still don't say, what does she want to do? ”
Speaking of Tong Xia, Gu He's voice couldn't help but rise. The apology on the other end of the line kept coming, but it didn't dampen her anger in the slightest.
"Mother-in-law, don't be angry first, let's talk about it if you have something. Tong Xia did something wrong about this, but her father and I also knew, we will definitely give you an explanation, don't worry. ”
In the face of Gu He's accusations, although Tong's father and Tong's mother also felt wronged in their hearts, who let Tong Xia be their daughter, even if there was a great wrong, they could only apologize first.
After a phone call, Gu He felt that her mood was much more comfortable, and for the sake of the Tong family's sincere face, she didn't say anything more.
"Dad, Mom, what's wrong with you, who you off?"
Tong Xin, who had been upstairs, originally planned to come down for dinner, but as soon as she came down, she saw her parents sitting on the sofa, all with calm faces.
"Xin'er, are you hungry? I'll go see if the meal is ready. ”
Thinking about the fact that she was repeatedly accused by Gu He because of Tong Xia, and then looking at Tong Xin's well-behaved and filial piety in front of her, her mother was really angry, but she cared more about Tong Xin's body, so she had to endure the unhappiness in her heart.
No matter how Tong Xin doesn't care about other people's feelings, she can't pretend not to see her mother when she sees her mother like this.
"No need, Mom, I'm not hungry yet, you tell me first what's wrong with you and Dad, who is angry with you?" Tong Xin, who didn't know what was going on, looked angry, as if she would rush forward immediately after knowing who it was.
When her mother saw that Tong Xin could do this for herself, she also felt that it was worth it. However, the source of the matter was Tong Xia, and she didn't want Tong Xin to be involved.
"It's nothing, it's just that Tong Xia came back, the Shen family really wanted to know, they thought that it was me and your father who deliberately concealed it, and they said a few words in their hearts."
Mom was very careful with her words when she spoke, and she was still from Gu He's point of view. Tong Xin, who figured it out, was a little surprised, but expected.
He should have thought of Gu He's temperament as early as when he revealed the news, but in this way, Tong Xia was afraid that he would be completely disgusted in Gu He's heart.
"Xin'er? Xin'er, what are you thinking? ”
Tong Xin, who was immersed in her own thoughts, looked empty, and her mother thought she was frightened, so she had to pat her with her hand, her eyes full of worry.
"Huh? Oh, it's nothing, I'm just wondering if we should talk to Tong Xia, after all, it would be more sincere if she came forward in person. ”
Tong Xin, who woke up, said casually, but she didn't expect her mother to listen to it. "yes, that's right, I'll call right now."
After hearing Tong Xin's words, her mother, who had always felt that she was angry for Tong Xia, thought about it a little and thought it was very good.
Seeing that her mother was about to make a call, Tong Xin hurriedly stopped her. "Mom, what are you doing, Tong Xia may not agree!"
Tong Xin, who hadn't thought about it yet, didn't expect her mother to act so quickly, so in desperation, she had to move out of the reason why Tong Xia disagreed, but this reason was too shallow to stop her mother at all.
"Hmph, she has to agree even if she doesn't agree, why should she make her own decisions and me and your father to be angry for her."
The mother, who still felt angry in her heart, couldn't listen to Tong Xin's persuasion at all, and only thought about quickly asking Tong Xia to apologize to the Shen family, so that she and her father could also stand up.
Seeing her mother's strong appearance, Tong Xin couldn't think of a way for a while, so she watched her mother dial the phone.
Fortunately, Tong Xia did not answer the phone. Tong Xin quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and when she subconsciously observed her mother's reaction, she found that her mother was really covered with dark clouds on her face.
