Chapter 123: Do You Like Him?
"I already have a man."
As Tang Yu's words landed, the entire restaurant fell into an eerie silence.
Tang Zeming narrowed his eyes, Tang Zecheng's face was surprised, and even Tang's mother, who was about to leave, stopped.
She turned her head to look at Tang Yu, and there was a ripple in Gu Jingwubo's eyes.
As for Tang Yu...... She regretted it after she had said it.
Her father's persecution made her unacceptable, her mother's indifference made her heart like a knife, and her uncle couldn't help her.
In such a situation, she can only find a way to save herself, and as a woman, she can only rely on fabricating a non-existent man to excuse herself when she is forced to marry.
Although she had already seen a clear figure in her mind when she said this sentence just nowβTang Yu didn't know why she suddenly thought of Qin Luo, and why she said this sentence under some impulse after thinking of him.
But the words have been spoken, and it is impossible to regret it.
Under the gaze of several people, Tang Yu could only bow his head and grit his teeth, quickly using his brain, looking for a way to continue to exonerate himself.
Is it to admit that you lied? Or do you continue with this lie?
Tang Yu didn't know what choice to make, and Tang Zecheng had already asked: "Who is it?" β
Tang Yu glanced up at her fatherβto her surprise, his father was not as angry as she had imagined, but only frowned and looked serious.
Tang Yu pursed her lips and didn't speak, she didn't know how to answer this question.
Do you really want to tell Qin Luo?
Tang Yu struggled to fall into silence, and her silence seemed to make her father's anger rise again.
Tang Zecheng's cold and hard face seemed to be shrouded in a layer of frost, which was already scary enough when he was expressionless on weekdays, but now he would make people tremble just by looking at him.
It is the aura that has been naturally cultivated by being in a high position for a long time, and it is very bearable, Tang Yu, as his daughter, is still a little frightened, and if he changes his psychological ability to bear it weakly, I am afraid that he will have to stutter when he speaks, let alone refute it repeatedly.
And just when Tang Zecheng was about to say something more, Tang Zeming on the side suddenly asked, "Is that the man named Qin Luo?" β
Tang Yu glanced at her uncle with some panic, and seemed to want to say something with her mouth open, but the complicated emotions made it difficult for her to make a choice for a while, so she finally remained silent.
And her silence seemed to others like a kind of acquiescence.
Tang Zeming frowned, his eyes moved away from Tang Yu, and instead looked at his brother and asked, "Do you know?" β
Tang Zecheng reluctantly showed a smile: "When I went to pick up Xiaoyu today, there was a bit of a traffic jam, it just so happened that she had a friend who came to the imperial capital for a tour, and her friend took her out of the airport first, and I took a picture with his friend when I picked up Xiaoyu outside the airport." β
"Whose family?" Tang Zeming continued to ask, then shook his head again, and said to himself: "No, since you are here to travel, it is not from the imperial capital...... The man you were looking for at school? Of the magic capital? β
He looked at Tang Yu as he spoke, as if asking where the man in Tang Yu's mouth came from, but everyone present knew what the meaning of his question was.
Tang Yu couldn't help himself with a wry smile: "He's not from any family, he's just an ordinary person." β
Tang Zeming squinted his eyes and said in an affirmative tone of questioning: "So there is indeed such a person?" Not an excuse for you? β
Tang Yu continued to be silent and did not respond.
The restaurant fell silent again, and after a few seconds, Tang Zeming said to his brother, "It's called Qin Luo, right?" Tell me about the person. β
Tang Zecheng shook his head helplessly: "You suddenly asked me to say, I can't say one, two, three, I just said a few words in person, but ......"
He glanced at Tang Yu hesitantly, considered his words, and then continued: "The young man looks talented, his speech and demeanor are very mature and steady, the key is that his temperament is very good, not like he is from an ordinary family, and I don't know the rest." β
Tang Zeming nodded, and then asked Tang Yu again: "How long have you known each other?" β
"About half a year," Tang Yu replied.
Her voice was emotionless, flat and cold, but since she had answered the question, it meant that she had made a decision.
"How far has it got?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it, I don't care, as long as you break up with that man quickly."
"I refuse."
"You have no right to refuse me."
Listening to those unquestionable words, Tang Yu bit his lip tightly, and the force was so strong that even his pink lips were full of red.
Her fists clenched unconsciously, and her body trembled faintly, like an active volcano about to erupt, and everything was just a fuse.
Tang Zeming noticed this, he looked at his brother on the left and his niece on the right, and after a short hesitation, he finally said to his brother: "Big brother, Xiaoyu has rarely fallen in love since she was a child, and you don't have to let her break up in such a hurry." β
"I also know your concerns, but if you want me to say, this is not necessarily a bad thing, first of all, this is Xiaoyu's own boyfriend, and the relationship between the two must be very good."
"Secondly, he can be favored by Xiao Yu, which means that he is not an ordinary man, including when I met him today, I also thought he was very good, so I ......"
Tang Zeming paused, finally gritted his teeth, and said to Tang Zecheng: "Do you want to meet Xiao Yu's boyfriend?" Anyway, there is still plenty of time, and it won't be in the way to meet, what do you say, big brother? β
After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Tang Yu, his expression a little helpless...... Eldest niece, uncle can only help you get here, and the rest is up to you.
Faced with Tang Zecheng's question, Tang Zeming did not respond immediately.
He squinted at Tang Yu, his eyes flickering frequently, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
And Tang Yu turned his head to look at his uncle, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes, but when he withdrew his gaze, there was only distress left in his eyes.
What can I do now...... Tang Yu bit his lip, and his heart was already tangled into a mess.
At this time, Tang Zeming picked up the chopsticks and said lightly: "Call him over tomorrow night and eat." β
The meaning of his words is very clear, that is, he agrees with Tang Zecheng's statement.
This relieved the originally oppressive and tense atmosphere in the restaurant.
Tang Zecheng breathed a long sigh of relief, a relaxed smile appeared on his face, and said to Tang Yu: "Let's eat first, you are tired after taking a plane all the way, and you will think about it after eating." β
ββ¦β¦ Thank you, uncle, I'm full, you can eat. β
Tang Yu answered softly, and then got up to leave.
Her heart is now in a mess, where can she eat.
In the face of her majestic and domineering father, she excused herself by lying, but lying is such a thing, as long as you tell a lie, then you have to tell thousands of lies to make it happen.
If the matter only involved herself, then Tang Yu would not have too much psychological burden, but she involved irrelevant people without authorization, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
If Qin Luo is not brought over tomorrow, her angry father will directly pronounce her "death penalty", and then there will be no room for maneuver.
But if you really brought Qin Luo over...... Not to mention whether Qin Luo and Yao Yanyan are willing, even if he really comes, can he face his unreasonable father smoothly?
All kinds of problems disturbed Tang Yu's mind, she walked all the way out of the restaurant with her head down, only to find that her mother was still at the door of the restaurant and had not left.
Tang Yu raised her head, the mother and daughter glanced at each other, Tang Yu was about to staggered past her, but her soft voice came from her ears.
"Your boyfriend...... It's called Qin Luo, right? Do you like him? β
Tang Yu was a little surprised for a while, she didn't expect that her mother, who had never been interested in anything, would suddenly ask herself this question.
It was also at this time, listening to her voice and looking at her expression, that Tang Yu suddenly had a sense of truth that she was her mother.
So after hesitating for two seconds, she nodded in response, "Well, I like him." β
"That's good."
Tang Mu seemed to be very satisfied with her answer, and for a while even her usual quiet smile brightened a little, and then turned to leave.
Tang Yu looked at his mother's back with complicated eyes, then lowered his head, walked up to the second floor step by step, and returned to his room.
There was a "click" and the door was locked.
Tang Yu didn't turn on the light, but threw himself on the bed, then picked up a pillow and threw it beside him.
It wasn't until the original big bed was messed up and the two pillows were on the floor that she gasped and stopped, turned over and looked at the dark ceiling and began to be in a daze.
When her eyes began to drift, her wandering thoughts poured into her own experiences from childhood to adulthood.
Everyone wants to have a good background, and Tang Yu is the kind of person that many people envy, but this is the source of her inner pain.
From childhood to adulthood, Tang Yu's only impression of his parents is that his father always has a straight face, and he is basically busy with work when he goes out on weekdays, and spends most of his time in the study after he comes back.
In Tang Yu's memory, he hadn't played with Tang Yu onceβnot once.
As for her mother, Tang Yu's first impression of her was gentleness, she always had a quiet smile, and she was kind to everyone, so when she was a child, Tang Yu liked to stick to her mother's side.
But as he grew older, Tang Yu understood that his mother was gentle to everyone, but buried under that gentleness was a stinging sense of coldness and distance.
When Tang Yu was a child, every time she saw other people's children coquettish to their parents, her heart would be uncontrollable with envy, but there seemed to be more people who envied her.
Everyone said that she had a gentle mother and a father who was an official, and her starting point was an end that ordinary people could not reach in their lives.
But Tang Yu knew that this was not what he wanted.
She can't choose her background, she can't choose her parents, but at the very least, she wants to choose someone who can be with her for the rest of her life in the future.
If you want to bury your future because of a decision by your father, then what is the meaning of this life?
For a moment, Tang Yu really wanted to escape from this family forever, and compared to these messy things, she was even happier with the time she spent in school before.
There are foodie Xiaojin there, there are heavy two-thorn newts for many years, Yao Yanyan who has unlimited operations, Xu Ke who makes her look complicated, and ...... The man she had just brought up in front of her family, a man she remembered when she was most helpless and panicked.
Mixed thoughts were rampant in his mind, and Tang Yu in the dark sat up and took out his mobile phone.
The moment she lit up her phone, a little fluorescent light was projected from the screen, reflecting her resolute expression.
With the back and forth movement of her fingers, she found two people from WeChat, immediately set up a group, and sent a message.
