Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 148 My Boyfriend

This question came too suddenly.

As a result, neither Hu Li nor Lu Yao were prepared at all.

In other words, the other party never thought about giving you time to prepare.

In fact, logically speaking, the two have been together for three or four months, and the honeymoon period cannot be said to have begun to cool down, but... the "addiction" that was like being scratched by a cat if they didn't see each other for a day at the beginning has gradually begun to dissipate, and it has been replaced by a habitual companionship and care.

When two people are together, there are a lot of things to talk about.

For example, the current "shameful" situation of the two of them.

Hu Li has expressed her guilt more than once because it was a personal reason.

And what she said to Lu Yao was: "I'm not ready yet."

As for Lu Yao, he did not pursue the matter either.

Because he had already learned the truth from Mr. Xu.

To be honest, he didn't know what the future held for him and his girlfriend...

It's like drinking poison to quench thirst. They know that some things will only become more troublesome the longer they are delayed, but... neither of them knows what to do.

What's more, Hu Li's thoughts were more complicated.

My boyfriend is only eighteen.

Talking about the future... about marriage... about all kinds of things with an eighteen-year-old child is too far-fetched.

So, no one said anything, no one said anything, and it has been like this until now.

But she didn't say anything, the woman in front of her spoke directly.

And it's not even a question, it starts with an affirmation that "he is your boyfriend."

Obviously, in a sense, the other party has already grasped some of the situation.

Well, the problem is coming.

Lu Yao's first reaction after being confused was confusion, wondering how the other party knew that.

Is it really possible to find it out with supernatural powers?

No wonder Hu Zhengyuan took the initiative to sit at this table.

No wonder the other party keeps bringing the topic back to himself.

So... you're here to test me?
Not to mention Hu Li.

Her brain has lost the ability to think at this moment.

It’s not that her psychological endurance is low, but this incident completely... touched upon her greatest fear.

What kind of person is Lu Yao?

Before they became boyfriend and girlfriend, if someone asked her, she would answer: He is an excellent person.

Hearing the word "excellent" from her mouth actually has great value.

Then, after the two of them were together, if you asked her again, she would have many answers. For example:
“My boyfriend is a very good person.”

"He's a genius."

“He is a person who is extremely focused on what he does.”

“A focused man is the most handsome.”

"Super gentle, very nice, love it!"

"Super strong, my mind goes blank every time."

"He is very cooperative with me. He has everything I want."

"Satisfy all my fantasies about my boyfriend."

She has a lot of words to praise her boyfriend, and through these compliments, you can see how much she likes or loves her boyfriend.

But the same thing is, the deeper the love, the greater the fear.

She was afraid of the future that she would imagine when she was alone.

And of all possibilities, the most feared one...loss.

My boyfriend's family is actually very happy. Their happiness index is even many times higher than the average.

And she also knew her own family situation.

It is precisely because I know it clearly that I become more and more afraid.

Because she never thought that her boyfriend would accept some... requests from her side.

That's simply impossible.

It shouldn't be like this.

Marriage and love are originally matters between two people.

At least in a sense, the two people should decide for themselves rather than being influenced by...some objective factors.

That's not right.

That’s… wrong.

And once this "wrongness" becomes a necessary condition, then after reacting with the objective environment, the result of the reaction formula obtained... she could only think of one possibility.

Or, in other words, it has come back again.

The final result was what she least wanted to see... fear.

Fear struck.

My mind goes blank.

She was instantly overwhelmed by the scene that made her cry even if she saw it in her dreams.

It's like drifting in the endless deep ocean.

Obviously... there is nothing around.

Nothing happened.

But...the dark and black sea water still brought her an extremely cold feeling.

That is the fear that one cannot bear to look directly at under the deep sea.

She didn't know what to say, because... she knew her aunt's character very well.

If it wasn't something that was confirmed, she wouldn't ask or say anything.

I...what should I do?
Instinctively, she looked to the side.

Ask your boyfriend for help.

But... Lu Yao didn't look at her.

Or rather, I didn't take care of it.

But someone saw her eyes.

Xu Ruochu.

When her aunt asked that question, she instinctively turned her head away.

Looked at Sister Xiaoli.

I saw the helplessness and fear in her eyes.

At this time, she also heard Lu Yao's words:
"Auntie, did you misunderstand?"

Xu Ruochu turned his head instinctively and saw a pair of eyes with some doubts:
"Me and Sister Li? ...We are not the kind of relationship you think."

Frank and sincere.

No flaws.

Xu Ruochu was stunned.

But after Lu Yao asked, the other party did not answer, but looked him up and down.

His brows gradually furrowed.

"Young man, lying is not a good habit, you know?"

"..."

Her words were simple.

But... Lu Yao didn't know if it was an illusion, from her frowning and unhappy expression to the moment she asked this question.

It was obviously very plain, but his instinct told him...it would be best to tell the truth in the next sentence.

Otherwise... there will be big trouble.

His brows also furrowed.

Obviously, he didn't like this way of talking very much.

It would remind him of how he was when he was taking psychological tests in his previous life.

The other person...smells like my colleague.

And... it's very thick.

But... he definitely wouldn't tell the truth.

Because he knew very well what he and his girlfriend would face after telling the truth.

"Auntie. Are you really..."

"Lu Yao."

Suddenly, Xu Ruochu interrupted him.

Lu Yao turned his head instinctively.

But Xu Ruochu didn't look at her, but said politely:
"Auntie, please sit down. If you don't sit down, we won't dare to sit down either."

Hearing this, the woman nodded and pressed her hand again:
"Everyone, please sit down. Yuanyuan, you sit down too."

She sat down first, and Hu Zhengyuan returned to the seat where he had just sat.

then……

Everyone at the table heard Xu Ruochu's words:

"Aunt, can you tell me who told you this? I want to see what he's up to."

The woman frowned slightly and looked at Xu Ruochu again.

At this moment, the woman in the big warm sweater looked calm and composed.

His whole body exuded a graceful demeanor, and he spoke in a calm voice:
"Because Lu Yao is my boyfriend. I really don't like the person who is gossiping with you."

"!"

"?"

"?????"

……

In the noisy banquet hall.

In front of the desktop.

When she said this, the air fell into silence.

Except Xu Linlin and Xu Xiang.

"Ah? Sister, Brother Lu Yao is your boyfriend?"

"…Then shouldn't we call him brother-in-law?"

"Xiao Xiang, Brother Luyao and Sister Luyao haven't gotten married yet."

"Oh, okay. Then why don't you just call me brother?"

"Yes."

The corners of Xu Ruochen's mouth twitched.

He clenched his fist under the table, unclenched it, and clenched it again... But when he saw Hu Li drinking water from the cup, and Lu Yao pursing his lips, he quietly unclenched it again.

He's not stupid.

Know what my sister is doing.

She... is protecting Sister Li.

She has always been like this since she was a child.

No matter what trouble Sister Li got into, she would always protect her.

It has nothing to do with Lu Yao.

She will clean up the mess that Sister Li created.

Even if this excuse is lame...

But... he couldn't say a word.

Because Brother Yuan was looking at him.

He could only shake his head helplessly and said unhappily to his younger brothers and sisters beside him:

"You two should keep your mouth shut! Don't tell mom and dad, do you hear me?"

And his words also indirectly proved that what his sister said was... true.

And it was a fact he already knew.

This time, Hu Zhengyuan's face finally showed some surprise.

Seeing this, Xu Ruochen shrugged:

"Don't look at me like that, Brother Yuan, just look at my current status and you will understand."

Hu Zhengyuan was stunned...

Only then did I realize that in terms of seating order, Xiaochu was sitting next to Lu Yao.

This……

Is the news false?
The woman frowned and looked at Xu Ruochu and asked:
"Xiaochu, you..."

"Auntie, who told you this? Can you tell me?"

Xu Ruochu asked again.

The woman shook her head calmly, as it should be:

"No." "Is that so...Okay. Aunt, we are just dating, and we are not yet at the stage of marriage, so I don't want to make it public. Can you keep it a secret for us?"

"..."

After hearing Xu Ruochu's request, the woman did not agree directly, but looked at Hu Li again:
"Xiao Li, did you go to Japan some time ago?"

"Uh……"

Hu Li opened his mouth and nodded subconsciously:
"Ah."

Xu Ruochu also frowned, turned his head to look at Lu Yao, and suddenly shook his head helplessly, and said to Hu Li:

"Sorry, my bad."

As she spoke, she looked at the woman:
"The three of us went together. Lu Yao had never been abroad, and we were dating secretly. I couldn't bring him directly on the plane from home, so I asked Sister Li to go with him. Auntie, you misunderstood."

Hearing this, the woman turned her head and looked at Lu Yao.

Lu Yao's face was full of embarrassment.

As for Hu Li, his face was expressionless.

As for Xu Ruochen...

He hadn't finished eating yet, and was now picking up the chopsticks and the bowl to eat his bowl of wedding noodles.

It seems... these four people chose the most calm reaction to what Xu Ruochu said.

At this time, Hu Zhengyuan smiled bitterly:
"Gu, this is really a misunderstanding."

The woman turned her head and glanced at him, but Hu Zhengyuan looked at Xu Ruochu and said helplessly:
"We all thought Xiaoli was in love. Especially since she hasn't been abroad recently and bought a house here, we all thought she was with Lu Yao, so we came to ask..."

"It's okay, Jungwon-hyung."

A smile appeared on Xu Ruochu's lips:
"I understand. Isn't it better if the misunderstanding is resolved?"

"Ha, who says it isn't true... But why did you two keep it a secret?"

"Love is a matter between two people, why should it be publicized?"

Xu Ruochu asked back.

“…Haha, that’s right.”

Hu Zhengyuan smiled and nodded, and then the phone beside him rang.

The woman took out her cell phone, took a look at it, and said:
"Xiaochu, your dad has finished eating."

"Aunt, we won't go. Neither of us is ready."

"...Okay. Yuanyuan, let's go."

"OK, all right."

So, the two of them stood up, and left as others stood up to see them off.

Before leaving, the woman looked at Lu Yao deeply.

But said nothing.

After the two men left, Xu Linlin and Xu Xiang's eyes fell on Lu Yao again.

There were two big words written on both children's faces: gossip.

But Lu Yao suddenly smiled bitterly.

As for the other three...

Not a word.

It's as if this never happened.

……

It’s almost 7 o’clock.

The banquet is over.

"Let's go."

Xu Ruochu said.

"...Okay, sister, let Xiaoxiang and Linlin take your car?"

Hearing his brother's words, Xu Ruochu nodded:
"Yeah. You want to ride in my car too?"

She asked Hu Li.

Hu Li nodded:
"it is good."

So, the group walked out of the banquet hall in silence. When they arrived at the parking lot, Xu Ruochu waved to Xiao Min:
"Take a taxi back by yourself."

"Uh...ok."

Xiao Min nodded and stepped aside.

Xu Ruochu drove the car himself, Hu Li sat in the passenger seat, and the two children went in the back.

Lu Yao also sat on the golf course with Xu Ruochen.

"...Brother Run and the others are there, go say hello."

Hearing what Mr. Xu said, the silent Lu Yao nodded.

The Golf relied on its flexible maneuverability to drive out of the parking space and arrived at the steps of the hotel. Mr. Xu lowered the window:

"Brother Run, we're leaving first."

"Don't go, let's go and play."

"No, I have something else to do at home. Let's go."

"Goodbye, Runge."

The two men said hello to You Run and his group, then left.

Then, there was silence like a traffic light.

"...have a cigarette."

While waiting for the traffic light, Lu Yao took the initiative to speak.

"Goodbye, it's so hard to quit smoking, why do you smoke?"

Mr. Xu rolled his eyes and ordered one.

But he didn't fall out of the window. Instead, he suddenly turned around and punched Lu Yao on the shoulder three times.

"Fuck...hiss..."

"Your uncle's!"

He was cursing as he lowered the window.

Lu Yao, on the other hand, had a wry smile on his face.

He didn't even know what to say.

"Why the hell did my sister have to bear this blame?"

"…It's over. Xu Linlin is such a big mouth. As soon as she gets home, my stepmother and my father will definitely know everything."

"Hu Zhengyuan is such a fucking bastard."

"damn thing……"

"I've been watching him since I was a kid."

"Damn, now you've learned how to use tricks, right?"

"Grass!"

"I said he was a decent guy normally, why is he here at the table today?"

"..."

He cursed and Lu Yao remained silent.

I waited until he finished scolding before I said:
"Chu Jie dumped me...it shouldn't be big news, right?"

"nonsense!"

Mr. Xu rolled his eyes:
"I'm ignoring you, but you still want to have two relationships at the same time! No, three relationships! You have another one outside! I'm going to strangle you to death, you damn scumbag!!!!"

"Cough cough cough..."

This time, he was really determined to kill Lu Yao and wanted to shake his head off.

Fortunately, the red light turned green, saving Lu Yao's life.

Mr. Xu, feeling indignant, continued driving.

The cold wind was blowing into the car. He took only two or three puffs of his cigarette and threw it out of the window in a very rude manner.

After raising the car window again, he suddenly sighed...

"Ugh."

"..."

"...I'm such a bad-mouthed person. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have told you about Sister Li's family. I would have just watched you two make a fool of yourself!...Alas!"

Hearing this, Lu Yao thought for a moment and asked:
"What does Sister Li's aunt do?"

"She? She is Brother Fan's immediate superior. She must have investigated your family three generations before coming here today."

"Uh……"

"Do you think you can get away with it today? If my sister doesn't come forward, believe it or not, when she comes to find you tomorrow, you and Sister Li's call records, text messages, and even surveillance videos of any occasions where the two of you appear will be on your face."

"..."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched.

I couldn't help but ask:
"That……"

"…Don't worry, for now, you are safe. Do you know why?"

"What?"

"Because you are my sister's boyfriend...it's hard for her to investigate, because if she investigates you, she will be investigating my sister. What right does she have to investigate my sister?...Fuck, you are a three-timing scumbag! Go to hell!!"

hum! !

Golf suddenly began to accelerate.

"No, no, no... Brother, Dad! Let go of the accelerator! Let go with your hands, let go with your feet! Calm down! Damn it!"

The sudden push on his back frightened Lu Yao so much that his face turned pale.

Fortunately, there are few cars here.

"I don't have a son like you!"

"Godfather! Godfather!!!! I was wrong, wrong, wrong! Please spare my life! I was so wrong!"

"..."

The vehicle speed slowed down.

At the traffic light, Xu Ruochen covered his face speechlessly.

"How did it become like this... I am really speechless."

"..."

The atmosphere returned to silence.

Until, two beeps were heard outside the car window.

The two of them turned their heads instinctively.

In the night, the passenger window of the Maybach standing in the left turn lane was lowered.

Xu Ruochen also lowered the window.

Xu Ruochu, who was driving, frowned and looked at him:
"Are you crazy? Driving so fast?"

"…I'm educating your boyfriend."

Xu Ruochen gritted his teeth.

The corner of Hu Li's mouth twitched as he was sitting in the passenger seat.

He raised the window in annoyance.

"Sister, you are standing on the wrong road."

Before the car window rolled up, Xu Ruochu heard what his brother said.

She ignored it.

Soon, green light.

The Maybach went straight ahead.

In the passenger seat, Hu Li silently looked at the taillights of the car in front with empty eyes.

She didn't say much along the way.

The car drove directly to Tan Palace.

After parking the car in the parking space, Xu Ruochen and Lu Yao's Golf had not returned yet.

Xu Linlin and Xu Xiang walked straight into the house, and after the two children opened the door and entered the house, Hu Li finally said the first sentence:

"Help me keep it a secret for a while, okay?"

"it is good."

Xu Ruochu nodded without any hesitation.

Then, after thinking for a while, she said:
"But... Linlin and Xiaoxiang probably can't keep it a secret. My dad and stepmother will definitely know about it."

"...What should we do?"

"Just let it be. I'll do it."

"……Um."

Hu Li nodded.

At this time, Xu Ruochu asked again:
"What are you going to do next?"

"do not know."

Hu Li shook his head slightly, and suddenly smiled a little sadly:
"Who knows."
