The black car carried Lu Zhanqing back to Nanwan. He should have been tired after exercising, but he didn't want to sleep too much, so he sat down in the living room on the first floor. Sister Lingling brought calming tea, but she was stopped when she left.
Lu Zhanqing ordered: "There will be guests coming tomorrow, so let the kitchen make some lunch."
"Okay." Sister Lingling asked, "How many of you have any allergies or taboos?"
"One, ask Xiaowen about the other."
Lu Zhanqing took a sip of his tea, picked up the magazine on the coffee table for entertainment, flipped through a few pages and found that it was a gaudy fashion magazine, and he didn't know why it appeared at home.
I accidentally turned to Lu Wen's inside interview, and I got it.
After reading the interview, Lu Zhanqing gave Lu Wen a score in his heart. He spoke well, he didn't take language lessons in vain when he was a child, and he was sincere enough, which fit his silly look.
To his surprise, the stinky boy has his own understanding and plan for the profession of an actor, and he also has goals, so he is not as stunned as he imagined.
The curtains were not drawn on the entire glass curtain wall, and the headlights of cars were flickering in the distance. The light beam and the sound of the engine were getting closer and closer, disappearing at the side of the building, and then the sound of footsteps came from the west hall.
Lu Wen walked in neatly, changed his slippers and said, "Dad, I'm still not asleep yet."
Lu Zhanqing closed the magazine: "Why are you back?"
Lu Wen ran to the wide island-shaped sofa, leaned on the backrest with one arm and jumped, and landed right next to Lu Zhanqing. He said kindly, "This is our home. Do I need a reason to come back?"
Lu Zhanqing's heart was like a mirror: "You didn't plan to come back tonight, did you?"
Lu Wen smiled embarrassingly. After meeting by chance in the parking lot, Qu Yanting was in no mood to spend time with him, so he forced him back. Well, he can sniff out the news in advance.
After half a minute of silence, Lu Wen took the initiative to say, "Dad, do you have anything to ask me?"
Lu Zhanqing: "Ask what?"
Lu Wen: "Ask me about my life-long event."
Lu Zhanqing: "It's a big deal."
Lu Wen couldn't help rolling his eyes, and turned his body sideways to Lu Zhanqing with one leg bent, saying, "Although I didn't say it clearly that night when I was swimming, I know you understand. I'm gay, and I'm dating Teacher Qu."
Lu Zhanqing picked up the tea and blew on it gently.
"Dad, you're sure to take it, right?"
"why?"
"Gu Zhuo said that his father can do it. In my heart, you are better than his father. If you don't accept it, not only will I lose face with my brother, but you will also bow your head in front of Uncle Gu."
"Are you arguing?" Lu Zhanqing said, "Since I was admitted to Cambridge, I am already inferior to others."
Lu Wen shot himself in the foot with a rock, and said, "Forget it, comparisons are not good, let's get to the point. Since you invited Mr. Qu to your home, does that mean you approve of our relationship?"
Lu Zhanqing commented: "Now you look like a chief executive who is trying to figure out the holy will."
"Damn!" Lu Wen moved closer anxiously, "Then tell me first, what do you want to say to Teacher Qu tomorrow?"
Lu Zhanqing disdainfully said, "I still need to report to you?"
Lu Wen spoke so dryly that he didn't find any useful information. He snatched the cold tea from Lu Zhanqing and said, "Say it first, you can't embarrass him."
"Anymore?"
"You can't show him face, you can't show dissatisfaction, you can't ask nonsense, and you can't make excessive demands."
Lu Zhanqing annoyed, "Why do you have so many things to do?"
"Dad, let me tell you clearly." Lu Wen said solemnly, "I really like Mr. Qu, and I have fallen in love with this person since I lived for so many years. I have inherited your love gene, and I will recognize him in this life. "
Lu Zhanqing's brows twitched slightly, his life was too long, but he also promised his whole life to others when he was young.
Lu Wen continued: "The key is that Teacher Qu also loves me. If you have a lover, you can't tear them apart. Think about Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, Cowherd and Weaver Girl, and Romeo and Juliet in foreign countries. Tragedy cannot be repeated in modern times."
Lu Zhanqing: "..."
"And me," Lu Wen coughed, "I even..."
Lu Zhanqing: "What?"
Lu Wen went all out, and said, "I've been doing it to others over and over again, and I have to be responsible!"
Lu Zhanqing's face darkened: "Get lost!"
Lu Wensheng was afraid of being beaten again, and his survival instinct made him roll over on the sofa, and yelled the last sentence before running upstairs: "Tomorrow is Teacher Qu's birthday! Please show mercy!"
The living room was finally quiet, and Lu Zhanqing pressed his forehead weakly, showing mercy? Can't he be treated as a scourge
The brass vase reflected the figure in the corner, and Lu Zhanqing asked impatiently, "What's the matter with you?"
Sister Lingling came to ask Lu Wen if he would eat or not, and just happened to hear the conversation between the father and son, so she paused there in surprise, and she let out a sigh of relief: "I... I'm fine."
Lu Zhanqing got up to rest, stepped on the stairs and paused, and said, "Let the kitchen prepare a cake."
In the early hours of the morning, Qu Yanting got off the car at the gate of the community and went to the styling room across the street to get her hair cut. Now that she just got home, she was picking out clothes in front of the wardrobe with her hips on her hips.
None of them are pleasing to the eye. He hasn't bought a new one for a long time, but he made two suits, but would wearing a suit be too formal? He is already a few years older than Lu Wen, should he look younger
The phone kept popping up birthday wishes, Qu Yanting had no time to answer, and said, "Ruan Mengtang, stop playing."
"Who played, I'm reading the script." Ruan Feng put down the pad in his hand, leaned on the bed and said, "Brother, it doesn't matter, you don't need to be too anxious."
Qu Yanting asked: "Then what does it matter?"
Ruan Feng thought for a while: "What did you say to Brother Lu Wen's father after we met? The other party is not only an elder, but also a parent. How many years have you not chatted with 'parents'?"
More than 20 years after his father passed away, the relationship between Qu Yanting and his "parents" was blank. Holding the shirt he picked out, he said, "You made me even more anxious."
Ruan Feng came up with an idea and said: "Brother, you should relax a little bit, and don't pretend that you don't belong to yourself, otherwise you will have a second time if you pretend once. You are here for happiness, if you want to be wronged, forget it."
These words were once said by Qu Yanting to Ruan Feng. Before meeting the adopter, he comforted his nervous brother like this. Leaning back against the cabinet door, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
As the body and nerves relaxed inch by inch, Qu Yanting decided to let nature take its course.
The next morning, Qu Yanting went out early to drive to the People's Park, time was tight, so he had to go to the mall to pick out some unmissable gifts.
According to the address sent by Lu Wen, he headed south all the way, steering the steering wheel and guessing what the other party's home looked like. A villa similar to Zishan? What flowers and plants will be planted in the garden? Do you have a pet or something
Gradually arriving at Nanwan, Qu Yanting drove under the raised gate. The main road was cut by a large area of lawn and trees in the park. He slowed down and was not sure where to park his car.
There were hammocks tied to two big trees by the roadside, and Lu Wen lay leisurely on them basking in the sun. When he heard the sound of the Bentley's engine, he jumped down and ran to meet them.
After parking the car on the west side, Lu Wen opened the driver's door himself. Qu Yanting was wearing an oatmeal-colored linen shirt, which was the same color as the day they first met.
Lu Wen said, "Is it easy to find, I was going to pick you up."
"It's okay." Qu Yanting looked around, "But I didn't expect it to be so big. I thought it was a villa area, but it turned out to be your garden..."
Lu Wen laughed: "Do you think it's just like Zishan?"
At once? Qu Yanting was embarrassed to admit that he was shocked when he went to Wang Mingyu's house for the first time when he was a poor student. Although I know that Lu Wen is a rich second generation, but I have never looked into it, and I am a little surprised now.
Lu Wen said, "I'll show you around later, and then we'll have lunch."
Qu Yanting nodded and asked, "Where's your father, please greet him first."
Lu Zhanqing was sitting in the large living room dedicated to entertaining guests. His two footsteps approached. He turned his head and asked Sister Lingling, who was serving tea, "How does my face look?"
"Ah?" Sister Lingling was a little puzzled, "It's fine, are you feeling well?"
Lu Zhanqing raised his hand and touched his chin. The brat forbids him to look ugly, but how do you define good-looking or ugly? When we ran into each other yesterday, the child's face was tense. Could it be that he was really frightened
Just as he was thinking, Lu Wen brought Qu Yanting in and said, "Dad, Teacher Qu is here."
Lu Zhanqing wanted to bend the corner of his mouth, but he was not used to it, so he reacted a little slower and said, "Sit down."
Qu Yanting and Lu Wen sat down on the loveseat sofa, staring down at the steaming coffee, thinking about what kind of opening remarks to say. Lu Zhanqing leaned on the armrest, and was also hesitating how to speak without being too blunt.
The atmosphere gradually became weird, Lu Wen broke the silence and said: "You two really have nothing to talk about, it looks so boring."
Qu Yanting was a little embarrassed. According to the general process of meeting parents, at least he had to ask about his basic situation and family background. If the other party didn't ask a word, did it mean a kind of denial
Lu Zhanqing really didn't intend to ask. He had investigated the information a long time ago. Even Qu Yanting knew that Qu Yanting had a biological brother, so there was no need to ask again knowingly.
Lu Wen couldn't take it anymore: "Are you guys meditating?"
The more silent he became, the more uneasy Qu Yanting clenched his knees and looked at Lu Zhanqing, and finally said, "Uncle, thank you for inviting me over. I haven't talked face-to-face with my parents for many years. I'm very nervous."
Lu Zhanqing didn't expect him to be so frank, and said, "It's also the first time that I, as a parent, face a child other than Lu Wen."
Qu Yanting was in a trance for a moment because of the word "child". He said: "Lu Wen and I have been together for a while. I have lied to him and quarreled. Our relationship is not perfect, but it is very precious to me."
"I... this is the first time I fell in love." Qu Yanting said, "I have always been very lonely. I met him when I was walking on the single-plank bridge, and he pulled me to Yangguan Avenue. So whether it comes from love or human nature, I I want to go down with him."
Lu Zhanqing said: "He is not even a qualified son, can he be a qualified partner?"
Lu Wen almost jumped up, but Qu Yanting gently pressed his thigh. Qu Yanting replied: "He is not a qualified son, don't you love him? Besides, he has a sound mind, an independent personality, and has compassion for strange old men. Is he really unqualified?"
Every point listed has nothing to do with wealth. Qu Yanting is not only answering, but also showing what he pays attention to.
He simply finished the whole sentence: "Uncle, I don't know how you think of me. I don't know how much trust, appreciation or dissatisfaction I have. But I was very happy on the way here, and I came for happiness."
"Everyone is happy to be recognized. If not, I will strive for happiness for myself."
"No one in this world treats me as a child anymore. If possible, I would also like to face you with Lu Wen like a child."
Lu Wen turned his face away and looked out the window. Every sentence of Qu Yanting's brave confession pierced his heart, forming dense soreness and pain, and even his eye sockets were burning.
Lu Zhanqing was silent for a long time, touched, moved, and a little bit wronged, he didn't express his position at all, why did he seem to be bullying someone
Forget it, if I mess up today, I'm afraid my son will knock off the roof of the house. Lu Zhanqing raised his chin to the velvet box on the coffee table, and said, "Xiaowen, give it to Mr. Qu."
Lu Wen opened the box suspiciously. Inside was a bulging envelope. He took it out and touched it: "Dad, it can't be money..."
Lu Zhanqing said, "Yes."
"What are you doing!" Lu Wen stood up in embarrassment, "You don't want to give a 50 million check to force Teacher Qu to leave me, do you?!"
Qu Yanting was so frightened that he slipped his Adam's apple, he didn't even dare to write the script like that.
Lu Zhanqing sneered: "Fifty million, what's your worth?"
Lu Wen mixed with sorrow and joy: "Then you..."
"It's too late to prepare a gift." Lu Zhanqing said, "And I learned from you, Uncle Gu, and I have to give red envelopes when I come to the house for the first time. If I don't give it, I will be inferior."
Qu Yanting was stunned, and his fluent tongue immediately came to a knot: "Uncle, you, what do you mean..."
Lu Zhanqing stroked his palm: "I don't really mean that much. Compared to how much you like this idiot, I'm actually more curious about what you like about him."
Qu Yanting was so surprised that he couldn't recover, and said incoherently: "Then why don't you ask me about my family? I've been very worried."
"It's rude to say it." Lu Zhanqing said frankly, "I have investigated your information a long time ago, and I have nothing to ask. By the way, there is something I want to tell you."
Qu Yanting asked: "What's the matter?"
Lu Zhanqing said: "You and Xiaowen are really destined. You are the initiator of the Shanshu Project, and Wenjia Fund was established by me. Sooner or later, it will be handed over to him."
Lu Wen and Qu Yanting were stunned at the same time.
"Wen Jia is his mother." Lu Zhanqing said calmly, then lowered his eyes and smiled, "I watched the award ceremony, and I really settled down that night."
Differences in personality, family background, and any conflicts become insignificant.
Because Lu Zhanqing recognized the way Qu Yanting looked at Lu Wen, once upon a time, he was stared at so deeply.
