There was affection, embarrassment, and a touch of melancholy in the air. Under such an atmosphere, the two of us gently hugged each other and sat like this for a long time.
Suddenly, there was a sound of the doorbell outside. I immediately sat up, and Qiao Qiao also jumped off my lap, and looked at the time with some doubts: "Maybe Yan Di is back."
Both of us saw a trace of complexity in each other's eyes, and Qiao Qiao quickly pulled me back: "Don't tell her, don't be impulsive. Don't tell her now, let us have more time, maybe we can think about it." Come up with a good way."
I was sighing in my heart, what good solution can I come up with? It was just the two of us running away.
I gave her a forced smile, then walked to the door and took a look at the electronic monitoring camera at the door...
However, just looking at it like this, my face suddenly changed, and I rubbed my eyes hard to be sure that I was not mistaken...
In the camera, just outside our villa, stands a middle-aged man with a medium build. From the surveillance camera's overhead angle, it can still be seen that his face is protruding and handsome. Wearing a dark suit, with his hands behind his back, he has a somewhat free and aloof temperament.
Behind him, there are two followers.
I saw the appearance of this middle-aged man clearly, then turned around, looked at Qiao Qiao who was sitting on the sofa, and swallowed hard: "Qiao Qiao, you'd better come and have a look, this person... seems to be... um, I've only seen him once, and I'm worried if I'm remembering wrong."
"Well, didn't Yan Di come back?" Qiao Qiao shrugged her shoulders, as if relieved, she walked over, but didn't notice that my face was even more embarrassing.
Sure enough, Qiao Qiao came to my side, only glanced at the surveillance camera, and his face changed! I saw Qiao Qiao's face, and finally confirmed the doubts in my heart. I smiled bitterly and said, "This person... seems to be your father, right?"
"OH!! SHIT!!" Jojo screamed, and then she ran away from me like a rabbit, and hid upstairs along the stairs.
Shocked in my heart, I tried to use a steady voice to ask the people outside to wait a moment through the intercom, then opened the door outside, and then I saw the middle-aged man say something to the attendant beside him, and he A man walked in.
After half a minute, I opened the door and saw this guest standing outside the door.
That's right, this time I can see it more clearly than in the surveillance camera. The handsome and mature face, the crow's feet at the corners of the eyes are full of wisdom, the sky is full, the corners of the mouth are half-smile, with a bit of hidden momentum... It is exactly what I used to be Qiao Qiao's father who met once in China! !
Seeing the surprise on my face, Qiao Qiao's father looked calm and twitched his mouth slightly: "Oh, Chen Yang, we meet again."
I just came to my senses and stepped aside quickly: "Mr. Qiao... You, um, hello, please come in."
Facing my tense and surprised expression, Qiaoqiao's father smiled slightly and walked in from my side.
As for me, my mind is a mess!
Well, first of all, I am sure that I am really surprised by the sudden arrival of Qiao Qiao's father... How did he come here? And more... I have a little guilty conscience in my heart! ! This is normal, if you were any man, you just "touched" someone else's daughter, and then immediately met the girl's father, so hell if you don't get nervous! !
Qiao Qiao's father spoke in a thick and steady voice. He walked in and glanced at me: "You must be very surprised to visit me rashly."
I quickly laughed and asked him to come in and sit down.
Qiao Qiao's father didn't say much, he came in directly, glanced around, sat on the sofa, and then glanced at me sitting opposite: "Do you know why I'm here?"
"I..." I was a little speechless, and to be honest, I haven't recovered yet. I immediately stood up while concealing it, brought a cup of tea over in a hurry, then sat down again, and handed over the cigarettes on the table.
"No, thank you, I've been quitting for many years." Qiao Qiao's father shook his head slowly, and then with a smile on his lips: "It's a very nice place, I mean your house."
"Well... thank you." I replied vaguely.
"Where's Qiao Qiao? Upstairs?" Qiao Qiao's father smiled slightly, as calm as he could be. He picked up his teacup and took a sip: "I suddenly appeared here, she must have been scared to hide Let's go upstairs."
"This..." I'm a little embarrassed, I don't know how to say it... I want to deny it, but who is Jojo's father? They have all come to the door, they must have figured out the situation thoroughly, and they will come to the door only when they are sure that Qiao Qiao is with me.
"My own daughter, I understand." Qiao Qiao's father was very calm, he didn't seem to be in a hurry to see Qiao Qiao, but looked at me with deep meaning: "Chen Yang... Well, Chen Yang, we should be the second time We met. I remember when we were in China, we met at the airport, and you were still Jojo’s good friend."
I was nervous for a while... What is "at that time" or Qiao Qiao's good friend? Does Jojo's father already know that I'm not Jojo's friend "now"
"Alas." Qiao Qiao's father waved his hand, but he was very calm, without any falsehood or politeness: "Because Qiao Qiao rejected a marriage contract I arranged for her, she fell out with our family and ran away. Come out. I searched for a long time but did not find her, and even sent people to Europe for a few laps, Milan, Paris, Antwerp, Prague, these places where Jojo liked to travel before, and then sent people there In North Africa, I checked in Cairo, Egypt for a while, but there is no news." He said with a wry smile: "Not long ago, I got the news that she is actually in Canada. I thought she would never come to Canada wherever she went. Because she refused The marriage contract is Li Wenjing... Well, you should also know Li Wenjing. I originally thought that Li Wenjing was in Canada, so no matter how hard Qiao Qiao ran away, he would not hide in Canada. Unexpectedly, I guessed wrong."
I didn't speak.
Qiao Qiao's father squinted his eyes at me for a while, then said, "Qiao Qiao came here for you, right?"
"Cough, cough cough..." I coughed a few times quickly, not knowing how to answer.
"You see, I'm a very failed father." Qiao Qiao's father looked at me and sighed: "My daughter ran away, but she couldn't find her. Two days ago, I was on the phone with that young man Li Wenjing When I was in bed, I accidentally found out that Jojo had met him in Las Vegas. Moreover, I also knew that she has been with you for a while now. "
He tapped lightly on the table twice, and looked at me with deep meaning: "Chen Yang, um, I thought you were just a friend of Qiao Qiao. I didn't expect that you would come to Canada. Moreover, before I came, I checked it... To my surprise, you are not an ordinary person here. "
"You're being polite." I finally found a chance to say something vaguely.
"It's not polite, it's definitely not polite." He smiled calmly, but I felt that there were some sharp eyes in his smile, looking at me, and said: "The founder of the underground order in Vancouver, hey! Young man , you are much more capable than I imagined."
After finishing speaking, he stood up and looked around: "This house is not bad, you just bought it... Well, the environment is really good."
Then he smiled and said, "Well, Qiao Qiao hid upstairs just now, right?"
I had no choice but to nod my head... They didn't even come to the door until they checked out my identity. They must have come here with certainty! It would be unwise for me to deny it.
He pointed to the corridor and the door leading to the back of the house in the hall: "Well, that direction is the sea, right? Is the yard behind it? Come, take me to visit, don't you mind."
How can I say no? He could only stand up quickly and lead him out through the back door.
Behind it is the swimming pool. But as soon as I walked out, Qiao Qiao's father stopped behind me. He didn't seem to have any intention of visiting, so he held me back, patted me, raised his hand and pointed upwards, motioning me to look up …
On the window sill on the second floor, Qiao Qiao had turned out, holding on to the railing outside the house with both hands, trying to move it down little by little...
"Look, my own daughter, I still understand." Qiao Qiao's father narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said loudly, "Qiao Qiao, come down, I see you."
I saw Qiao Qiao pouted and moved a little bit, and when I heard her father's cry, I suddenly trembled. I was startled, for fear that she would fall, I ran over and continued below.
Qiaoqiao had no choice but to look down at me, jumped up, jumped into my arms, and got down.
At this moment, she still doesn't look like Miss Qiao's witch in the past, dejected, like a peacock whose hair has been plucked, her eyes rolled a few times quickly, and then deliberately put on a smiling face, and ran to her father's side. She hugged her father's arm with a cute face: "Wow! Dad, you are so powerful! I guessed that you would find me! Sure enough, I can't escape your palm no matter where I go! Too God!"
Qiaoqiao's father didn't get angry at all, and smiled lightly: "Stand still."
Qiao Qiao trembled when he heard the words, and quickly let go of his hand, standing upright, but still aggrieved: "You are inside, how do you know that I will escape through the window outside?"
"Hey!" Qiao Qiao's father laughed: "First of all, I know that you are here with Chen Yang. Then, I know that you like to live in a house facing the sea. Third, I just saw it. The house has only one staircase to go up and down, and fourth... I know my baby girl will want to run away when I see her. Fifth... have you jumped out of windows less often?"
