Chapter 219: White Lies
I looked at my phone and hesitated for a moment, but then picked it up.
As soon as she picked up the phone, her mother asked, "Jiajia, where are you?" β
"I ...... I had just gotten off work and was on my way back to my apartment. "I lied.
"On the road, why is it so quiet?" Mother asked.
"I'm keeping the windows closed, but of course it's quiet."
"What time will you be home?"
"About twenty minutes."
"Okay, I'll wait for you here with your dad." After the mother finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
Uh, they're waiting for me over there at the apartment.
Looks like I can't hide this time.
After cooking supper, Shao Yihan also took a shower and came out of the bedroom, wearing only a big vest and a pair of shorts, as lazy as before, but his figure had lost a lot of weight.
"Well, it smells good." He walked over and wrapped his arms around my waist and looked at the bowl of noodles on the table, "Why is there only one bowl, don't you eat it?" β
I turned to face him, raised my hand to wipe the drops from his cheeks, "I have to go back to the old area, just now my mom called and said that my dad has a bit high blood pressure, I'll go over and take a look." β
He frowned slightly, "Then I'll go with you." β
"No, you go to bed after eating, don't wait for me. I guess he'll be fine after taking the medicine, I'll go back and take a look and come back. I rubbed his face, smiled, and told a white lie.
"Then you have something to call me."
"Well," I tiptoed to kiss him on the corner of the mouth, "and you go to bed when you're done." β
"Okay.".
I turned around and went to the living room, took my bag, and headed to the door, "Then I'll go first." β
"Drive carefully." He was a little uneasy.
"I just drank two glasses of water, and it's fine." I said, pulling the door open.
Shao Yihan sent it to the door, "Send me a message over there, don't let me worry." The man stood in the doorway, looking very uneasy.
Seeing him like that, I couldn't help but step forward and kiss him again, smiling smartly, "It's going to be fine, don't worry." β
He touched my head, "Go early and come back early." β
"Hmm."
When I came out of 'Jingdu', my face became solemn.
When I cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks after eating that day, my mother asked me suspiciously, saying that Shao Yihan didn't eat shallots, ginger, and garlic, why didn't he even eat spicy? Don't all young people love spicy food? And her fried ribs are so fragrant, since I didn't let him eat them, ask me if he is sick?
At that time, I casually found a reason to prevaricate. Later, she must have felt that there was something wrong with my words, so she called me and asked me to go back.
The thought of this question gives me a bit of a headache. If I tell them the truth, they will definitely object to me being with Shao Yihan, but if I don't tell the truth, how can I make up this lie?
As soon as the car arrived at the apartment, my mother called again and asked me where I was, and I said that I was already in the basement of the apartment and would go up immediately.
Getting on the elevator from the basement, I don't think it's better to tell them the truth, anyway, wait until Shao Yihan has the operation, then at least they can accept it.
Standing at the door of the apartment, I let out a deep sigh before taking the key to open the door.
The living room was brightly lit but quiet, my father and mother sat quietly on the sofa, did not turn on the TV or speak, and their eyes were focused on me from the moment I entered, and the eyes were sharper than I had ever seen.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I walked over with my bag and asked with a smile.
My mother frowned, stared at me sternly, "Jiajia, I feel like your father, you are not suitable for Shao Yihan." β
"What's wrong?" I try to keep myself as calm as possible.
The mother said with a stiff face: "He is from City B, and we are a daughter like you, and I don't want you to marry so far." β
"And ...... This person is very deep and not suitable for you. Father chimed in.
Then, the mother took out the sandalwood box containing the jade pendant from her bag, put it on the coffee table, and said coldly: "Give this back to him, it's too precious, I can't stand it." There seemed to be a hint of disgust in her mother's tone.
I looked at the box and frowned, "Mom, what are you talking about, why can't you stand it?" β
"Anyway, I'll just say a word, we are against you being with him." My mother looked at me and said firmly.
I put my bag on the coffee table, sat down on the single sofa next to me, glanced at them, and sneered, "Didn't you like him a lot at dinner that day, just because he was from City B?" β
My mother squinted at me, "You know why we are against it. Isn't it because he's sick that he's so thin? β
Belch!
"He had an illness before, but now he's fine." I pretended to be calm.
The father suddenly asked, "What disease did he have before?" β
"That...... He used to have a bad stomach and a little gastritis, but now it's fine. "I smiled a little unnaturally.
"Gastritis, I don't think he looks like he has stomach cancer." Mother's words were a bit mean. I rarely hear her speak to others in such a tone.
"Mom, how can you say that about others." Now I can't hear Shao Yihan's bad.
The mother pursed her lips and stopped talking, as if she felt that she had spoken a little too much.
"Jiajia, we are your parents, you tell us the truth, Shao Yihan is he sick now?" The father's tone was quite serious.
I lowered my head slightly, raised my head again, and said with a light smile: "Mom and Dad, I just want you to know that no matter whether he is sick or not, I will only marry him in this life, do you understand?" β
My mother rolled her eyes and looked at me in disbelief, "So, he's really sick." β
I wanted to hide it from them, but it didn't seem to make much sense to hide it.
"Yes, he's sick now, but he'll be cured soon. So don't ask those irrelevant questions against me being with him, I'm not a child, do I know what I'm doing? "My voice is very loud.
"Jiajia, are you crazy, Ziyu is not as good as him, why do you have to him?" My mother looked at me incomprehensibly, "I heard that he used to be in prison, and he often mixed with some indiscriminate people, such a person has ...... character." β
"If you don't know the reason for the matter, don't talk nonsense." I subconsciously shouted and interrupted my mother's words.
My mother looked at me in astonishment.
Her father patted her on the back, "Don't say what others say." When the sound fell, he turned his head to look at me, "Jiajia, Shao Yihan is a good person, I chatted with him for a while that day, and I can feel that he is serious about you, but marriage is not a matter for the two of you, and when you get married in the future, the two families are tied together." The father paused for a moment and then said, "You have been married once, and you should know it in your heart." If you marry him, then you have to fit into his family. There is still a big difference between the north and the south, whether it is food or other aspects, not to mention that it is so far away from us, and there is no reason and no relatives over there, you have no place to go if you are wronged. "My father spoke earnestly.
"He won't give me a grievance." I'm sure I replied.
The mother sneered, "You're still too naΓ―ve, he won't, what about his family?" Although our family background is not yet clear, looking at his experience, the early departure of his parents must also be a complicated family. β
"We won't live with his family." I retorted.
My mother glanced at me, "Then you want to go to City B with him, regardless of the two of us." β
I always felt that my mother's reaction was a bit too aggressive in the evening, she had never spoken like that before.
"When he recovers, we may also go back to Tongcheng to live. I'm going to City B only temporarily. I softened my tone and tried to reassure her.
The mother's face was even more gloomy when she heard this, "If you go back with him before you get married, what will his family think of you in the future." Wasn't it enough that you were despised by Yang Zheng before? β
"Mom, are you so hard that you forgot what I said that day?" I stood up and said in a deep voice: "I'll say it again, I won't marry anyone in my life except Shao Yihan." Even if I suffer with him in the future, I chose it myself, and I will never regret it. With that, I picked up my bag and walked out.
"Jiajia, you come back for me." Mother yelled in the back.
I ignored it and threw the door away.
This is the first time I have flagged my parents in the face.
Going down to the basement, I sat in the car, very irritable.
The mobile phone in the bag rang at this time, I took it out and took a look, it was Shao Yihan calling, I remembered that I forgot to send him a message, and I hurriedly picked it up.
"Hey, why haven't you slept yet?" I spoke softly.
The man's deep voice came from the other end, "You didn't have a message, how did I sleep." How's your dad, does it matter? β
"It's okay, I'll go back in a while, you go to sleep."
"I'm in bed, or ...... You stay at home at night and take care of it if something happens. β
Hearing this, I couldn't help but glance at the elevator, "Then I...... Spend a little more time with them here. Have you taken vitamins? β
"I just ate it. Don't worry about me, stay with them at home. The other man yawned.
"Okay, then you can sleep. I hung up. β
"Hmm."
After hanging up the phone, I started the car, drove out of the basement, parked at the gate of the community, and after a while, I saw the two of them coming out of the gate of the community, I honked the horn, the car fell backwards in front of them, lowered the window, poked its head out, "Come up, I'll send you back." β
My mother shouted at me a little angrily, "You don't need to send it, we will take a taxi ourselves." When the words fell, he pulled his father to the side of the street and waved to stop the car.
I took a deep breath, pushed the car door and got out of the car, shouting, "Dad, pull my mom over." β
My father looked at me a little embarrassed, and was about to pull my mother, when a taxi happened to come by, and stopped next to them, and my mother pulled the car door and got into the car. My father looked at me and reluctantly followed.
I watched the taxi go away, sighed, got back into the car, and followed. I followed them all the way to the old area and watched them get out of the car and go upstairs, and then I turned around and went back to Jingdu.
On the way back, I couldn't understand why my mother was so excited, she was not a mean person, but her words to Shao Yihan at night were unusually snarky.
