Chapter Eleven: Cold as Ice
Zhao Guodong noticed that Tang Jin was in a wrong mood. The rose he gave did not receive the desired effect. Instead, the worry in his eyes made Zhao Guodong's heart sink.
"What's wrong, Xiao Jin? What's wrong?" Zhao Guodong took a breath, stabilized his emotions and said.
"Guodong, my parents know about us." Tang Jin said with a reluctant smile.
"Didn't you know it long ago?" Zhao Guodong asked back. He knew that the other party wanted to express this was not what he meant.
"I promised my parents to quit contact with you, but they found out." Tang Jin lowered his head.
"How did they discover it? So what if they find it?" Zhao Guodong said coldly.
"I lied yesterday and didn't go back, so they came to the branch office and found us." Tang Jin's voice was deep and full of grayness.
Today, Zhao Guodong was going to pick up the new car at the provincial department, so he came to Andu a day in advance. As usual, he secretly returned to the small nest of the branch dormitory with Tang Jin. He naturally did not mention the love of men and women all night, but he did not expect to be peeped at.
"Ah?" Zhao Guodong was stunned. He originally wanted to stay here for one night tonight and go back tomorrow. It seemed that it would not work. "What did your parents say?"
"My mother has hypertension and is hospitalized now, and my father is so angry that even my aunt, uncle and others are here." Tang Jin sobbed gently.
Zhao Guodong's heart sank, but he still hugged Tang Jin and slowly picked up her cheeks like rainy pear blossoms, "Do they want us to separate?"
"Well, my dad said he didn't want to make my mom angry and broke up immediately. If he saw me being with you again, he would break up with me." Tang Jin closed his eyes and tears slid down his face.
"What are you going to do?" At this time, Zhao Guodong found himself extremely calm. He knew that Tang Jin's parents were not just opposed to working in the suburbs. In their minds, perhaps he was an ordinary worker from a suburbs, and he was not worthy of being with a girl like Tang Jin from a good family, beautiful and good job.
He wanted to tell Tang Jin that it was easy to transfer to An Metropolitan Area, and it was not impossible to even join the An Metropolitan Government, but he did not say that because it was not necessary.
"I think we will separate for the time being. After my mother's condition stabilizes, I will slowly do their work through my aunt and uncle." Tang Jin wiped the tears on his face with a handkerchief and bit his trembling lips with all his might. "They are there."
When Zhao Guodong turned around, he saw four middle-aged men and women walking towards him. For a moment, his heart was as cold as ice.
It seems that all this still cannot be changed, such as separation for the time being and doing work through them. Zhao Guodong suddenly remembered a few words: Women are born performing artists, and women's hearts are more fickle than chameleons. Is this the same thing about Tang Jin?
Zhao Guodong could feel their condescending scent from the arrogant expressions on the faces of two of them, although they were not worth mentioning in Zhao Guodong's eyes.
"Guodong, this is my eldest uncle and second uncle, this is my younger sister-in-law and my uncle." Tang Jin tried his best to calm himself down and introduced, "He is Guodong."
"Xiao Zhao, can we talk?" asked a gentleman with golden silk glasses on his face.
"Uncle,——" Before Tang Jin finished speaking, the middle-aged woman had already interrupted her, "Xiao Jin, go there first, your mother is still waiting for you in the hospital. We are just having a peaceful conversation with Xiao Zhao. Do you still worry about what we will do in broad daylight?"
Zhao Guodong glanced at this arrogant middle-aged woman. She was indeed pretty and dressed very fashionablely, and looked a bit like Tang Jin.
"Xiao Jin, be obedient!" Another younger man frowned, "Do you really want to make your mother angry?"
Zhao Guodong sighed, saying that he was talking about himself. It seems that everything has been designed long ago, so why should he be a villain?
Tang Jin's erratic gaze seemed to become dodging. Zhao Guodong didn't know if he was too sensitive or was it true. Thinking of the madness last night, Zhao Guodong smiled bitterly, he was so slow, did he really not feel it, or did he not want to think about it in that direction? Or was he really thinking too much, Tang Jin still loved him, but was forced to family pressure?
"Xiaojin, go, I will negotiate with you elders calmly." Zhao Guodong showed great peace, and his previous anger and depression suddenly became restrained.
"Yes, Xiaojin, Xiao Zhao is a reasonable person at first glance, we will have a good talk." The gentle and gentle middle-aged man glanced at Tang Jin.
Tang Jin moved her body with difficulty. She wanted to say something, her lips squirmed, but in the end she didn't say anything, and finally walked away with her body twitching.
After sighing again, Zhao Guodong could see that Tang Jin was also in pain, but if he took this step, there might be no room for turning around. Does Tang Jin understand?
"Tell me, I'll listen carefully." Zhao Guodong's face suddenly became gloomy.
"Xiao Zhao, I am Tang Jin's uncle and work in the Municipal Tobacco Monopoly Bureau." Although I was very modest in my words, Zhao Guodong could easily feel the superiority revealed in the other party's words.
Tobacco Monopoly Bureau? Hoho, vertical management department, the leader of the monopoly industry in later generations, no wonder it is so awesome!
"Good luck." Zhao Guodong said lightly, tearing his face apart, and there seemed to be no need to bow down any longer.
A hint of anger flashed across the middle-aged man who tried to maintain a humble demeanor, but he soon hid in his smile, "Xiao Zhao, I guess Xiao Jin told you just now, right?"
"What did you say?" Zhao Guodong looked surprised.
The middle-aged man looked suffocated and said reluctantly: "We are all adults, and there is no need to have any unnecessary disputes. Xiao Jin's mother is my eldest sister. Now she is so angry that she is in the hospital because of the two of you. I want to be a junior, but I definitely don't want to see such a thing happen, so I hope you can carefully consider your intention to be a parent and elder."
Zhao Guodong smiled coldly, "If Tang Jin told me directly, I wouldn't be entangled and I would turn around and leave immediately. As for the others, I don't think I have the right to interfere in our affairs."
"You!" The middle-aged man's face finally became gloomy, and his anger suddenly came out.
"Brother, why are you talking nonsense to such people?" Another young man said angrily: "Boy, I am Tang Jin's second uncle, from the Municipal Procuratorate. Our family does not welcome people like you, so you will lose your heart. Xiaojin just doesn't want to slap you in the face in person. I didn't expect you to be so ignorant, and I don't think about why you are with Tang Jin?"
The procuratorate? Haha, it is another very powerful unit. It is both an equal body with the government and the government. Zhao Guodong's deep contempt is even stronger. "The procuratorate? That's right. See if I have violated the laws and regulations when I talk to Tang Jin? Is I worthy of Tang Jin? It seems that only Tang Jin can judge, and it's not the turn of outsiders to interrupt!"
