Chapter 32: Bingwei's helplessness
The coach arrives at the station. Luo Qian saw his relatives and friends waving to him.
Dad, Mom, brother, sister-in-law, and Skinny Monkey Goofy are all here.
As soon as he got out of the car, he smelled the familiar smell of the ancient city. He sniffed greedily and rushed towards everyone.
"Oh, my baby son is back." Jia Hua smiled and opened his arms to Luo Qian.
Luo Qian couldn't help but have a sour nose. He felt like he was in a different world......
On the third day of Luo Qian's return, Luo Yuansheng held a grand celebration for Luo Qian in the most luxurious hotel in the small ancient city.
There were many guests, including relatives and friends who had been hiding far away when they were in distress. It is difficult for Luo Qian to disguise his enthusiasm for them. Luo Yan greeted the guests with a smile.
He said to Luo Qian: "It's a good thing that people can come to cheer. You must be courteous. ”
Luo Qian scoffed, he couldn't forget that in winter, his mother pulled down her face and went out to borrow money, touching the ash on her nose. If it weren't for Aunt Tian's family to lend a hand, their family might not be able to overcome that hurdle.
Luo Yan smiled and said: "When you are in trouble, as long as you don't fall into the well, you are a good person." ”
For this banquet, Luo Qian only invited two friends, Zhang Fan and Gao Fei. There are still classes in the school, and Zhang Fan also asked for leave to participate.
The family was busy greeting guests, and there were only three of them at the table. The three of them feasted, and while Luo Qian was eating, he told the two about all the things that happened in his Yanbei studio.
Zhang Fan hung his head and said: "Hey, I'm still the same this year, I haven't lived out any freshness, every day is studying, sleeping, and eating." There's not much to say. ”
Goofy asked, "Isn't there a boy chasing you?" ”
Luo Qian was also interested in this topic. "yes? I don't believe you if you say no. ”
Zhang Fan said angrily: "Of course not!" How can I be as precocious as you. Look at my hairstyle, look at my development, who will chase me? ”
Luo Qian smiled from ear to ear. Goofy's expression is unpredictable.
Zhang Fan didn't want to continue this topic, so he asked: "Luo Qian, Chu Lei transferred to another school, don't say it has nothing to do with you." ”
Luo Qian said: "What does it have to do with me?" I didn't even know about it. ”
Zhang Fan said: "What to pretend." You haven't seen her at that school? You're showing your face this time. Mr. Wang will definitely not object again. Aren't you going to do something? ”
Luo Qian's face was bitter. "Yes, yes, yes. Hey, don't mention it, I'll go back and tell you more. ”
At this time, the host on the stage said loudly: "Next, we are solemnly invited to our champion-Luo Qian." ”
Luo Qian stepped on the music and strode towards the stage. His face was filled with confidence that he had never seen before. This time, he wants to let some indifferent people take a good look at the rise of the Locke family now.
Zhang Fan looked at Luo Qian's back and couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, I knew that he was not a thing in the pool, but I didn't expect to turn into a dragon so soon." ”
Gao Fei smiled: "The artistic cells of camels are brought out of the mother's womb. We can't envy it. When we play with pee, the camel can pinch out a little person. We just know how to throw it in the face. ”
"You still have the face to say?"
Gao Fei laughed, when he was a child, he was indeed the only one who pasted mud on Zhang Fan's face!
"At that time, I was not sensible. Xiaofan, where are you going to take the test? ”
"I don't have the skills of a camel. And I also want to be closer to home. I'm going to take the exam in City A. Don't look at my hard fists, in fact, I can't live without my mother. ”
"If you can't live without Auntie, then you'd better marry in our ancient city in the future." Goofy said with a smile.
"That's what I thought, it's best to live upstairs and downstairs with my mom."
Gao Fei sandwiched a piece of meat for Zhang Fan, "You're right." ”
Zhang Fan said, "Yo, the sun is coming out in the west." ”
Gao Fei smiled: "I always bullied you when I was a child, but now that I have grown up, I should make up for the mistakes I made before." I'm going to take good care of you in the future. ”
Zhang Fan smiled. She really felt that Goofy had changed a lot since he entered society. Become both gentle and considerate.
"Skinny Monkey, you're really grown up now. I know how to be gentle with girls. ”
"Eat more meat, and you can grow up."
"You're a real dog!"
In a luxury villa in City A.
Mu Bingwei paced back and forth in the room, she was so preoccupied that she didn't know how to talk to her father for a while.
Luo Qian has been gone for a week. She's been in a state of her mind for the week. She was very touched by everything Luo Qian did for her. But the more this happened, the more uneasy she was now. The few words that Mi Chulei shouted out on the phone were like a magic spell, echoing in her mind all day long.
"Miss, it's time to eat." Mama Chen's voice came from outside the door.
"Got it, is my dad back?"
"Sir has just returned, waiting for you in the restaurant."
"Alright, I'll go over right away."
Mu Bingwei looked in the mirror. On the mirror, with the index finger, two words were written: "Victory." Then he raised his clenched little fist in front of the mirror. That's when I got out of the room.
"Dad, why didn't the first thing you do when you came back was to go upstairs to look for me?" Mu Bingwei smiled and sat beside Mu Hongyuan.
The corners of Mu Hongyuan's mouth turned up slightly. His daughter usually sat across from him. As long as she sits beside her, there must be something to ask for. Mu Bingwei's small action, even she didn't notice it.
Mu Hongyuan pretended not to know: "Dad knows that he is wrong, the first thing he must do when he goes home in the future is to go and say hello to Xiaowei." ”
Mu Bingwei coquettishly: "It's pretty much the same." ”
As long as Mu Hongyuan sees his own close-fitting little padded jacket, the fatigue of his whole body will disappear immediately. "Tell me dad about what's going on at school lately?"
"It's not the same in school. What can there be? It's boring to just study and study every day. ”
"Bear with it for a few more days. The college entrance examination is like this, and my dad will work much harder than you. Wait until you finish the college entrance examination, and your dad will take you to have fun. ”
"Dad, don't promise me casually, I'll take it seriously. Do you have that time? ”
"Do you have that time?" Mu Hongyuan was stunned. It sounded familiar to him, but he couldn't remember how long it had been said to him.
"Why not? What could be more important in the world than to spend time with my precious daughter. ”
Mu Bingwei struck while the iron was hot and asked, "Dad, you said that after the college entrance examination, where should I go to college?" ”
As soon as Mu Hongyuan heard this, he instantly guessed Mu Bingwei's thoughts. "What, you want to stay in your country and go to college? Didn't we say it earlier? After the college entrance examination, we flew back to the United States together. ”
Now that the words have been spoken, Mu Bingwei is no longer hiding, "Dad, I want to stay in China." ”
"But if you stay, who will take care of you? Dad has a big deal to deal with in the United States, and this year has to pass. ”
"Dad, I'm not a kid anymore. Don't always try to take care of me. I can take care of myself now. ”
"You mean now that I'm grown up, I don't need my dad anymore?"
"I didn't mean that."
Mu Hongyuan paused and asked, "Then why do you suddenly want to stay in China?" ”
"This is my motherland, why can't I stay?"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the father and daughter fell silent.
After a while, Mu Hongyuan said, "Xiaowei, you always said that you hope that your father can get back together with your Aunt Sally." This time, Dad plans to talk to her again. She agreed, too. ”
"You're getting remarried?"
Mu Hongyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Just talk about it first." ”
Mu Bingwei knew very well in her heart that in fact, her father and Sally were separated, mainly because her father didn't want to continue that marriage, and now that he is willing to go back to talk. There's a good chance they'll remarry. That would have been the outcome she had hoped to see. Although she never called Sally Mom. But in her heart, she actually recognized Sally. She didn't want her dad to be single all the time and have no one around to take care of him. Sally is a perfect fit.
It's just that now, when Mu Bingwei heard the news, she couldn't be happy in her heart. Because Dad and Sally remarried, that means he will stay in the United States. Then I can only follow my father over there. There's no way she's going to get her dad to do a multiple-choice question. She or Sally? This multiple-choice question seems to have to be done only by herself. Domestic or foreign?
Growing up, her father would take her wherever she went, and she never bothered her brain cells for where she should go. Daddy will arrange everything for her. But now, she's grown up and she has her own ideas......
Chen's mother saw that the atmosphere was wrong. Immediately said: "Sir, the dishes are cold." ”
Mu Hongyuan sandwiched a chopstick dish, but didn't eat it in his mouth. "Xiaowei, I'm already over there to prepare the formalities for you to study abroad."
Mu Bingwei immediately had a feeling of being dominated to the point of losing her freedom.
"Why didn't you even ask me if I agreed?"
"Of course I asked you, and you agreed."
Mu Bingwei's voice was a little choked, "Dad, I was born here." But until now. I've already read in three countries. With that, she got up and left the dining table and ran back to her bedroom.
After a while, Chen's mother knocked on the door. Chen's mother is Mu Bingwei's nurse, taking care of her life since she was a child, Mu Bingwei looked at Chen's mother, and her tears couldn't be stopped.
"Chen's mother, my dad never considered my feelings and brought me to one strange environment after another. I don't have many friends until now. I don't even have the right to choose where to live. ”
Chen's mother felt sorry for Mu Bingwei. He comforted: "Mr.'s work comes first." Xiaowei, you have grown up, now it's not that you can't do without Mr., it's that Mr. can't do without you. ”
Mu Bingwei cried even more sadly. She understood what Chen's mother said. But if she compromises now, it means that she will soon be separated from Luo Qian. She is also reluctant to Luo Qian. Mi Chulei's words pierced her heart again. Her original intention was definitely not to just play with Luo Qian. It's just that the reality of the situation makes her powerless.
Chen's mother continued: "My lord always tells me in his spare time that he looks forward to you growing up day by day, but he is afraid that you will grow up. Because when you grow up, you are not far from getting married. ”
"Okay, Mother Chen, don't say it, I understand, I just want to be alone."
Chen's mother gently closed the door and retreated. Mu Hongyuan actually stood outside the door all the time.
Chen's mother said, "Sir, according to my opinion, this situation may be ......"
Mu Hongyuan waved his hand and motioned for her to stop talking. He lit a cigarette and walked down the stairs.
