Meet the parents
After a moment.
study.
This is a spacious European-style study. From the gilded spines of the books on the bookcase, to the knight's armor displayed on the side, to the lifeless elk head hanging on the wall, there is a sense of solemnity and murderousness.
I sat obediently on a chair beside me, looking at the middle-aged man in front of me with a frown and sharp features.
Uh, according to the plot, should I call him father-in-law?
"Are you Anru's boyfriend?" He stared at me with some suspicion in his eyes.
"No." I smiled bitterly.
"If you are her boyfriend but you dare not admit it," the middle-aged man smiled, "that would make me very sick."
"Why are you afraid to admit it?" I laughed. "If I really am, I would like to make a slogan for myself and hang it around my neck every day."
"Young man," he said without a trace of smile, "it's not a good thing to be too sharp-tongued—what's your name?"
"Lin Yushan." I answered respectfully, "He's An Ru's friend. He came here today to, um, deal with her sister."
An's father smiled bitterly, "Well, An Qi is indeed a headache... I have talked to her father about it many times, but my brother just dotes on his daughter and won't listen at all."
He coughed lightly and nodded at me: "My name is An Yuan, and I'm An Ru's father. Are you really not related to An Ru?"
I thought of the hug just now and felt a little uncomfortable: "It's okay."
"That's good..." He smiled softly, "An Ru is rarely so close to other children, but if, just if -" A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "Someone did something inappropriate to her..."
What? Are you trying to silence someone by killing them?
"Although I don't want to interfere in other people's family affairs," I frowned, "I still think Sister An Ru has her own judgment and freedom..."
"Freedom?" Father An smiled bitterly. "You young people all think so, right? Well, let me ask you, kid, how much are you earning now?"
I felt an unknown anger in my heart.
"My parents are both dead, and I work to support my family." I said coldly.
"Very good," An's father seemed a little surprised, "but you have to know that as a parent, you always hope that your children can live a better life, not a worse one. Don't tell me about struggling to get rich. No one wants their daughter to suffer for many years with others and waste her best years because of a blank check of "starting a business". Moreover, a child whose clothes cost thousands to tens of thousands of yuan suddenly has to live with a person who is only used to being thrifty and has a monthly budget of only a few thousand yuan. Even if there is love as you said, the living habits, values and consumption are completely different. How long can this kind of love last? It's not because of infidelity, but simply because of "uncomfortable". The longer this kind of love drags on, the more hurt the two people will suffer in the end."
"I don't have any opinion on you..." I suppressed my tone, "Although Sister An Ru and I are just friends, I have to say that the values you mentioned..."
"It's wrong?" Father An gave a bitter smile, "What do you know?"
"Although I don't understand, I know that love can't be forced." I looked at him coldly, "Even if there is only simple food and drink, life with love is hopeful."
"You have to know that no one in the world is irreplaceable." He looked at me expressionlessly, "There will always be someone better than you, with better conditions than you..."
"But I am me. Even if there are ten thousand people who are stronger, more handsome, and more outstanding than me, my lover will not fall in love with those ten thousand people, but will choose to be with me for the rest of my life." I looked at him with a firm gaze.
His eyes suddenly looked a little strange, as if he wanted to laugh but was trying not to.
Father An suddenly clapped his hands and showed a strange smile: "Okay, Lin Yushan, what I said are just some realistic conditions, but I already know what kind of person you are." He lit a cigarette with some pride and looked at me with a smile.
Wait a minute? I suddenly felt like I was being played - was he just deliberately trying to put pressure on me to see how I would react?
"It's not nonsense," he seemed to see through my thoughts and smiled at me, "but it is indeed a lot of nonsense, just to see your reaction. You know, in fact, you are in a similar situation as I was back then."
"What's the meaning?"
"I was also a poor boy back then," he smiled and blinked, "and later I pursued An Ru's mother - her father also used this theory to fool me back then, today I just want to try to fool others."
He blew out a smoke ring proudly, and it seemed that he enjoyed it very much to smear it on other people's faces.
Shit, so that look of yours just now, like a rich landlord guarding his daughter, turned out to be a trick to fool me?
"But I can see that you are really interested in An Ruzhen. That's for sure, right?" He looked at me with a smile.
"So what?" I felt a little embarrassed and angry.
"Just admit it." He knocked on the table gently, "Don't eavesdrop outside the door! I know you are here, come in!"
The door opened and Sister An Ru walked in with a red face, avoiding my sight somewhat unnaturally.
I can fit a duck egg in my mouth - damn, why did I confess? Sister An Ru is at the door? Did she hear everything?
I looked at An's father with some complicated feelings - you guy, you actually tricked me twice, is it really not to avenge An Qi's double ntr?
"Dad..." Sister An Ru seemed a little embarrassed to speak, "What are you two talking about?"
Hey, you must have heard everything, right? Are you still pretending?
“Let’s talk about life,” An Ru’s father coughed and winked at me.
"Talk about life." I repeated through gritted teeth.
"It's getting late. How long do you want me to stay here?" Father An glanced at An Ru and said, "Send me home when everything is fine."
Sister An Ru nodded, ignored me awkwardly, and walked out the door.
I waved goodbye to Father An gently. At the last moment, he called me and said in a voice that only the two of us could hear:
"Some of what I said were from my heart, and some were for An Ru outside the door to hear. Go back and think about it yourself."
My heart shuddered, and I saw a deep meaning in his expression.
So that’s how it is…
This guy.
The words about being well-matched at the beginning were a warning and pressure for me in advance, and the sighs that deliberately drew us closer were telling us that it was possible for the two of us...
I felt a sense of inexplicable irritation in my heart.
There is a feeling of being deeply teased...
Damn it, I'll grit my teeth and prove it to you one day.
