Zhang Yansheng was told by Yue Song the day before the meeting that in addition to Mr. Yue, he would also meet Yue Song's parents.
"You just pretend you don't know." Yue Song said helplessly, "the two of them have to let me tell you, and want to give you a 'surprise'."
For any girl who is going to meet the man's elders, this is a shock rather than a surprise.
Zhang Yan raised his forehead: "Your parents..."
"The two of them are just like children, you will know when you touch them." Yue Song's tone was full of helplessness.
In comparison, he is more like the parent who was worried.
Zhang Yansheng laughed: "I see, don't worry."
On New Year's Day, Zhang Yansheng arrived as scheduled. When she appeared, Yue Song saw that the eyes of the three people in his family lit up.
Zhang Yansheng offered him a gift. It doesn't have to be too expensive, just chat and express your feelings.
"I don't know if the two of you are coming back, and I haven't prepared anything." She said seriously. Didn't I tell her to pretend she didn't know, it was just a relief.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Yue Song's mother was very happy, "It's good when someone comes."
The first time we met, Mr. Yue gave a thin red envelope, and when he pinched it, he knew that it contained a check. Yue Song's parents gave him a green jade bracelet. This is the first time the elders meet the juniors.
The elders are very easy to get along with. Yue Song's parents are very easy-going people without any airs. They told Zhang Yansheng about the two farms they had just set up in Australia, and invited her to play with them.
There is not a trace of trouble and pressure between their brows that ordinary people would have, and there is also a kind of heart-to-heart connection between husband and wife.
His words were witty and even a little naive, often making Zhang Yan smile.
In comparison, Mr. Yue puts more pressure on people.
He has a strong spirit and piercing eyes, which makes him feel particularly powerful.
He asked about Zhang Yansheng's previous investment in movies, and whether she had made any other investments later.
Zhang Yansheng said: "I have invested in two million-dollar small projects, both of which are well-established traditional industries. They are relatively conservative and the rate of return is not high, but it can be expected. The previous one was purely luck, and I didn't know anything. Understood. Luck won’t always be there, it’s time to learn from scratch, start small, and don’t invest more than 10 million yuan for the time being before graduation.”
This attitude is neither arrogant nor impetuous, unlike some young people who occasionally have a small win with luck, and will put their tails up in the sky.
Father Yue looked at Zhang Yansheng more eagerly.
Zhang Yansheng can feel the old man's satisfaction and love for him, but the old man is different from Yue Song's parents - Zhang Yansheng feels that Yue Song's parents are really here to watch the fun, and they have no expectations and requirements for Yue Song and Zhang Yansheng.
But the old man is different, the old man obviously has it.
Several times during the conversation, the old man had to stray from his voice and put it on the "future" and "later". Each time, he was interrupted by Yue Song calmly, and then forced him back with his eyes.
The old man was aggrieved, so he could only put away his four-generation imaginings first, so as not to frighten the little girl who had just entered the freshman year.
Zhang Yansheng pretended not to understand, she wouldn't pick up that conversation anyway.
Miraculously, Yue Song's parents didn't answer either. The two of them talked about him, obviously wanting to change the subject. Ordinary male parents, if they are satisfied with the female, don't they all start to urge marriage and childbirth
There is not a single supporter, the old man has a kind of sadness of the hero's twilight, and he is even more wronged.
Zhang Yansheng adhered to the etiquette of being a guest, arrived at the right time, had cordial talks with the elders, had lunch, sat down for a while to drink tea together, and got up at the right time to say goodbye. She didn't drive, Yue Song picked her up in the morning, and of course Yue Song sent her back.
"I guess my parents are going to run away tonight," he said. "They didn't even open the box. They came back to see you and didn't plan to stay."
"The term "running" is a bit..." Zhang Yan raised his forehead.
"It's just running away." Yue Song affirmed, "Our family has been passed down for three generations. My grandfather always wanted them to have more children. When I grow up, I want my parents to have another one. But my mother is so squeamish, I want to give birth to another one. She has had enough, she is determined not to be reborn. My dad took her away. Otherwise, why do you think the two of them have refused to return to China, they are hiding from my grandfather. "
"My grandfather is older now and is more anxious than before. He will definitely urge the two of us to get married early and have children early." Yue Song said, "If you don't like it, just ignore it and ignore him. I'll stop him. following him."
Grandma said that if there is any inconsistency with the elders, there is no need to argue face-to-face, just be vague and communicate with Yue Song in private.
Grandma also said that if he has you in his heart, he will block what should be for you, and will not make you embarrassed. Seeing the parents also happens to be able to understand the attitude of the boy.
Grandma really came here.
Zhang Yansheng raised the corner of his mouth: "Okay."
Yue Song asked her about the arrangements for the two days.
Zhang Yansheng said: "Xu Lichen is back, and tomorrow I will accompany him to the Nanshan Temple to worship." Yue Song was surprised: "Does he believe in Buddhism?"
"Do you think he looks like him?" Zhang Yan said, "He had a dream that he was dead. He was so frightened that he was going to pay his respects to get out of luck. He's home."
Yue Song laughed.
New Year's Day holiday, three consecutive days off. Early the next morning, Zhang Yansheng drove to Nanshan Temple in the outskirts of the mountains, first accompanied Xu Lichen to worship, and one person donated 100,000 yuan of incense money.
Alarmed by the host, I came out to receive them in person, recorded their names, and posted a merit list—the next time I will engrave the merit monument, I will also engrave them.
He asked the two people why they came to worship, and he explained Xu Lichen's dream in person.
"The life of bad luck in the dream has passed, and the reality will be very peaceful." Although the old monk does not eat oil and water, he has seen too many worldly people and knows what these people want to hear. He is dressed in a monk's robe, with fluttering white beard, and his temperament is tightly controlled, and his words are philosophical, which makes people feel as if they have been enlightened.
Xu Lichen was the one who deeply felt that he was being touched.
He slapped his thigh: "You're right! It's true, nothing matches reality! I'm living a good life now!"
The shadow in Xu Lichen's heart was resolved by the eminent monk, and he happily went to vegetarian food with Zhang Yansheng, and finally he was willing to tell her about the broken dream he had had.
Zhang Yansheng asked a lot of details, all about Wang Qian.
Xu Lichen couldn't help but be suspicious, he asked, "Why did you suddenly think of asking me about this dream and Wang Qian?"
Xu Lichen knew too much in his dream, and Zhang Yansheng didn't want him to know more.
She said: "I saw her on Christmas Eve, and I suddenly remembered the dream you mentioned. It scared you so much that it was like something."
At that time, Xu Lichen was indeed frightened, so frightened that he was incoherent in a panic, and Zhang Yansheng threw him a big ear to restrain him.
Xu Lichen scratched his neck: "Nonsense! Nothing!!"
Zhang Yansheng spent money to find a private detective who specialized in tracking and investigating extramarital affairs and helping to catch rape.
It doesn't sound very fancy, but it works neatly.
"Wang Qian and Huang Zhe, their mothers are cousins, and they are cousins who are separated by a floor. The two have a good relationship and often communicate with each other. The two of them can find each other in their circle of friends and QQ space. Traces." He said earnestly, "Miss Zhang, you misunderstood the relationship between your boyfriend and his cousin. However, according to my follow-up observation, your boyfriend is indeed not very honest, and he is with many girls. I have contacts, and I often go to nightclubs. I took pictures here... "
Zhang Yansheng packaged himself as Huang Zhe's girlfriend, and under the guise of investigating whether her boyfriend cheated on her, let private investigators find out the relationship between Wang Qian and Huang Zhe. It turned out that they were actually relatives.
She is not interested in Huang Zhe's relationship between men and women, and said to the private investigator: "I recently found out that something is not right with my 'boyfriend'. He has known some messy people, and I suspect that those people may take him to do drugs, you can find out Is this thing?"
Private investigators agreed.
He continued to track for a while, and told Zhang Yansheng, "Your suspicion is right. He did use drugs, but it should be still in its infancy, and there is still time to save it."
But Zhang Yansheng didn't check these things to save Huang Zhe's rubbish. She was just trying to confirm her suspicions.
Sure enough, as she thought, Huang Zhe was not deep enough at this time. She also remembered that when she first met, Huang Zhe was just a fun and playful person. Then it gradually became different.
If a person falls into the pit of drugs, there is always a process from inhaling to selling.
Zhang Yansheng did this without hiding from Yue Song. Because Yue Song even wanted to take over at the beginning, he would do it. But this is Zhang Yansheng's business. Not to mention many of the causes and consequences of it, it is inconvenient for Yue Song to know. Just to cut off this grievance, Zhang Yansheng has to do it himself, which is the end.
Zhang Yansheng said: "He will get deeper and deeper. If I say I don't plan to do it now and want to keep it for the future, will I think I'm too vicious?"
She stared at Yue Song.
However, Yue Song gathered her hair and told her: "If you are willing to entrust this matter to me, I promise to do it more viciously than you. Some things cannot be forgiven or tolerated. Indulging evil is equivalent to suppressing good. , tolerance for such a person will only harm more other people."
Zhang Yansheng held his hand and smiled slightly.
Nothing is more comfortable than that person agreeing with your three views and principles of doing things.
"Where's the other person?" Yue Song would never forget Wang Qian.
He remembered very clearly that on the night of Christmas Eve, Zhang Yansheng stood on the street with a rare pale face.
She's a bold, hot-tempered girl. She is not easily frightened. When mentioning that someone had tried to drug her, her tone was also flat.
She was struck by an unexpected malice.
He asked, "What are you going to do with the other person?"
