Luo Zhenye's words instantly made the atmosphere in the room awkward and cold. I was the first to bear the brunt and was the one who was least able to come to the stage.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Luo Xiangdong next to him, and he immediately became embarrassed. He was probably about to say something in a rage, but Kuang Yiyang beat him to it. After Kuang Yiyang paused for a moment, he said with a smile: "Grandpa, my brother-in-law asked for marriage. And in front of so many people. It's only a matter of time before we get married."
After saying that, Kuang Yiyang glanced at me again, his eyes full of kindness and indifference: "Besides, I have been friends with my little aunt for many years. I know very well what kind of person she is. How can you have such a daughter-in-law? , only make a profit but not a loss.”
Kuang Yiyang was willing to go out of his way to help Luo Xiangdong and me. For a while, Luo Xiangdong and I didn't say anything. Luo Zhenye must have felt sorry for Kuang Yiyang in his heart, but there were some things he couldn't say in person. He had to keep a straight face. Obvious disagreement.
Because of her identity, Guan Lin was told by Luo Zhenye in the hospital that she didn't feel sorry for Kuang Yiyang, but only felt sorry for Luo Xiangdong. So it’s not easy to speak for us this time. He had to remain silent.
Kuang Yiyang was the only one left in the room who could speak. He looked around and then said: "Grandpa, actually I have told you some things many times, but you never believe it. I know you are afraid of me. How about it, but I’m really not that good, I’m not doing well.”
As he said that, he glanced at Luo Xiangdong, and then said: "My uncle and I have been in a relationship for so many years. I know who is good to me, and I also know that many things cannot be solved with humility."
"So Grandpa, don't make it difficult for me to face my uncle in the future."
I have always known that Kuang Yiyang has a good heart, but I never thought that he would open his wounds with a smile, just to make Luo Xiangdong and me happy.
I'm not naive enough to think that this incident is just a minor injury to Kuang Yiyang. This can be seen from his previous descent into drug abuse.
It's just that his depravity has stopped, he just wants to prove that we all still care about him and love him.
Now that he has returned to his former self, trying to be a good person, Luo Xiangdong and I feel nothing but gratitude and guilt.
Even I feel distressed, let alone Luo Zhenye
He looked at Kuang Yiyang, with thousands of words coming to his lips, and he could only say repressedly: "Yi Yang, you are a good boy, it's your brother-in-law who can't help you."
Kuang Yiyang raised the corners of his lips and replied with a smile: "Grandpa, we are a family, what's the right thing to say?"
"Besides, my brother-in-law has allowed me to do everything since he was a child, but he can't let me marry my wife. First, he can't let me. Second..."
Kuang Yiyang looked at me and smiled openly and brightly: "I know my aunt's character very well. She will not be with someone she doesn't like."
I looked at Kuang Yiyang's smiling face and felt that I was really ashamed in front of him. Why would someone come here with a happy journey
Kuang Yiyang looked at me for only a few seconds, then turned to look at Luo Zhenye and continued to persuade: "Grandpa, don't make the whole family feel bad just because I am ignorant. How can I come back with peace of mind in the future if you do this?" Yecheng? How can I face my brother-in-law and grandma? Is it true that I was born redundant as my mother said? "
Kuang Yiyang's words immediately made Luo Zhenye angry and hurt. He frowned and said, "Nonsense!"
Kuang Yiyang had a faint smile on his face. I looked at him across the table, and my whole heart ached.
Guan Lin looked at Kuang Yiyang and said, "Yi Yang, don't you make me and your grandpa feel uncomfortable by saying this?"
The faint smile on Kuang Yiyang's face did not change, and he replied directly: "I feel bad now. I know that my grandpa has been refusing to let my uncle and aunt get the certificate. I don't dare to come back to Night City. I don't know how to face them."
Luo Zhenye said: "What are you afraid of facing? It's not you who is wrong."
Kuang Yiyang said: "Then Liang Zijin was wrong? Her only fault was that I liked her, but the person she liked was my brother-in-law."
This sentence has been hidden deep in the hearts of Luo Xiangdong and I for a long time, but due to various reasons, it finally came out from Kuang Yiyang's mouth.
How sad
How open-minded is it
I lowered my gaze slightly. My nose suddenly felt so sour that it made me feel stuffy, and my throat felt like it was stuck.
Luo Zhenye didn't know whether he was angry or speechless, he frowned and looked away.
Kuang Yiyang looked at him and said: "Grandpa, I know you feel sorry for me, but you have also taught me since I was a child that I must be reasonable. In my opinion, everyone is right in this matter. Since there must be a result in the end, then The result is that I am willing to watch my brother-in-law and Liang Zijin grow old together..."
Seeing Luo Zhenye's silent but obviously weighing expression, Kuang Yiyang slowly said the last sentence. He said: "I am still so young, and the days to come are still so long. Don't make me go through this." It seems that there is no such store in the village. I came back this time just to tell you that I have a new girlfriend."
One second I was feeling uncomfortable, but this second I was surprised. I raised my head and looked at Kuang Yiyang, who was sitting opposite. Kuang Yiyang didn't look at me, but looked sideways at Luo Zhenye.
Luo Zhenye was also surprised. He looked at Kuang Yiyang and asked, "Did you have a girlfriend? When did it happen? Why did you never tell us?"
Kuang Yiyang smiled lightly and replied: "We've been talking for a while. I'm not a monk. It's normal to fall in love. I never thought about reporting it to my family."
Luo Xiangdong said: "You even hid it from me, what do you mean?"
Kuang Yiyang looked at Luo Xiangdong and said with a smile: "I really want to tell you, but I'm afraid that after I say it, you will come to Hong Kong to see me. People around me don't know what our relationship is. I'll figure it out later. I'm afraid she'll be frightened."
Luo Xiangdong asked: "Where are you from?"
Kuang Yiyang said: "Hong Kong people, university alumni, can be considered school girls."
Luo Xiangdong smiled: "When will I bring it back for a look?"
Kuang Yiyang said: "It's still early, let's talk for a while and see."
Luo Zhenye made it clear that he was ambiguous about this matter and could not fully believe it. He said to Kuang Yiyang: "Do you have a photo of this child?"
Kuang Yiyang immediately said with defensive eyes: "She is not a big beauty."
Luo Zhenye said: "I'm not asking you to find someone good-looking. Haven't you two been talking for a while? There must be photos of girls on your phone. Take them out and show them to me."
Kuang Yiyang initially said that he would not show it, but later Luo Zhenye said that if he did not show it, it would be a lie, forcing Kuang Yiyang to take out his mobile phone on the spot, and while scrolling, he said: "I will find you a photo that has been p-ed."
After flipping through it for a while, he handed the phone to Luo Zhenye to look at. Luo Zhenye stepped back a little, then stared at the screen and said, "Is this your girlfriend?"
Kuang Yiyang nodded: "Yes, this picture looks better after the photo was taken. I have seen her without makeup. I am not saying that she..."
Kuang Yiyang shook his shoulders, which was meaningful.
Luo Zhenye said: "Is there any more?"
Kuang Yiyang turned over a few more pictures and showed them to him. Luo Zhenye said, "If you don't have time to go back to Night City, I will make time to go to Hong Kong another day."
Kuang Yiyang said: "Grandpa, you must not go to her. If she knows that I am your grandson, she may explode again."
I was particularly curious about what the girlfriend on Kuang Yiyang's phone looked like. It happened that Kuang Yiyang handed the phone to Guan Lin. After Guan Lin looked at it twice, Luo Xiangdong said, "Show me."
When the mobile phone arrived in Luo Xiangdong's hand, it was a matter of course for me to get close to it.
On the screen was a photo of Kuang Yiyang and a strange girl. The girl had medium-length hair that reached her collarbone. Her facial features were indeed not stunning, but she could still be considered beautiful if she styled them.
Luo Xiangdong asked: "Can you translate it?"
Kuang Yiyang said: "Turn over."
Luo Xiangdong may have slipped his hand and wanted to flip through the photos, but in the end, the photos shrank and turned into a photo wall. I also have a good eye, so I saw one of the photos that looked like a 'bed photo' at a glance.
I thought Luo Xiangdong didn't see it, but it turned out that he was also very gossipy and clicked on the 'bed photo' with an expressionless face.
After the photo is enlarged, it is not clear where the background is, but a bed and a quilt are clearly visible. Under the quilt lay a man and a woman with their shoulders exposed. The man was Kuang Yiyang and the woman was his girlfriend.
I pinched Luo Xiangdong's thigh with my hand under the table, signaling him not to peek into other people's privacy.
Luo Xiangdong also glanced at it, turned off his phone, handed it to Kuang Yiyang and said, "Very good."
Kuang Yiyang said: "What's good?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "Girlfriend."
Kuang Yiyang smiled and said, "Don't be sarcastic. With your eyes, you may not know what you are thinking."
Luo Xiangdong smiled and said, "Actually, I'm also quite puzzled. You're so handsome, how can you choose a girlfriend with average taste?"
I reached out and slapped Luo Xiangdong's arm, feeling that he was joking too lightly.
Kuang Yiyang didn't take it seriously. He replied casually: "As long as you are happy."
Because Luo Xiangdong and Kuang Yiyang were chatting happily, the atmosphere at the table was not as awkward as before.
Guan Lin greeted me and said, "Zijin, let's eat vegetables while they talk about theirs. How is your work lately? Are you tired?"
I smiled and replied, "It's not bad. Now that I don't have to run around every day like before, my body feels a little more relaxed."
Guan Lin said: "Don't work too hard. I think you seem to have lost weight recently. Are you under too much work pressure?"
I haven't had a good appetite lately, and I really haven't dared to eat more. In addition, I am a vegetarian, so I must have lost a little weight.
"My mother said it's better to have more pressure. Only under high pressure can you be motivated."
Guan Lin said: "Let Xiangdong Duonu work hard, the family is supported by men."
I said: "Xiangdong has been working hard recently, and I don't want him to be too tired alone."
After I finished speaking, Luo Zhenye, who had not spoken for a long time, said: "He is used to spending money. When he is allowed to make money by himself, he knows that money does not come from the strong wind."
I was anxious to speak for Luo Xiangdong, so I ignored my fear for a moment and said bluntly: "Uncle, Xiangdong works really hard. You asked him to prepare for the branch. He has been preparing carefully, and sometimes he will do it at night. Stay up late to read some information and documents. He listens to you very much and always tells me that he doesn't want to make you angry because he is afraid that you are not in good health. It's just that men don't know how to express themselves. "
After I finished speaking, I caught a glimpse of Luo Xiangdong unnaturally reaching out and picking up the cup in front of him, pretending to drink something.
Luo Zhenye said: "It would be better for him to be less angry with me than anything else."
Having said that, the whole person was obviously much more relaxed. I breathed a sigh of relief, my God, I said something right.
