I quickly turned around and saw a middle-aged man wearing a Tang suit standing at the door of the study. He was about 1.8 meters tall, well-built, and did not have the fatness that is common among middle-aged people.
He has a very short beard, but it is very stylish, and his eyebrows are very similar to Mengyun's. They all say that the daughter is like her father. Mengyun is so beautiful, which is partly due to inheriting this man.
He is Mengyun's father. Of course, I don't know his name yet.
And at his feet stood a rather huge strange dog. This dog was all black and as big as a big bear. There was a thick iron chain tied around the dog's neck. If it hadn't been for this iron chain, it would have been extremely dangerous.
They may have rushed up to bite us.
The veins on Mengyun's father's hands popped out. It was obvious that Mengyun's father had spent a lot of effort to hold the dog.
He whispered: "Bitou, be honest!"
The huge black dog became a little gentler now. Its face almost looked like the face of a monster. The name "Ghost Mastiff" is really well-deserved.
When Mengyun saw her father suddenly coming back, she was obviously a little guilty. I saw her face changed and she broke out in a cold sweat.
Mengyun pointed at us and said: "Dad, I... brought my classmates home to play, uh, no, friends."
Dahuang and I were still young, so it was understandable that we were Mengyun's classmates, but Lao Mao was in his thirties and obviously an old guy, so Mengyun first mentioned classmates. After thinking about it, he felt it was inappropriate, so he changed his name to friends.
.
Mengyun's father looked very ugly. I think any father would feel uncomfortable seeing his daughter coming home with three men.
Mengyun's father looked us up and down, then looked at the blood jade on the desk, and smiled meaningfully.
He took the ghost mastiff named "Bitou" into the study and sat down on the chair. He was followed by a thin and small black dog, which should be "Doudou". After he sat down
, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket. The golden yellow packaging was very luxurious, and it turned out to be the sky-high-priced cigarette "Nine Five Supreme".
Mengyun's father took out one and handed it to us tentatively. Neither Dahuang nor I smoked, but Lao Mao took it and lit it.
Mengyun's father took a sip and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Xu Changge, and I am Mengyun's father."
The three of us nodded quickly, and I secretly felt that this Xu Changge was definitely not a simple character, because he actually had an aura that dominated the world. Of course he couldn't be a ghost, because smoke is an open flame, and ghosts don't dare
Smoking. Since he is not a ghost, this means that Xu Changge must be a good person, because his temperament is impossible for ordinary people to possess.
No wonder Mengyun doesn't like to be at home very much, because being with such a person is really depressing. An inappropriate sentence suddenly came to my mind, that is, "accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger." Xu Changge actually gave me
It feels like a local emperor, as if we are all ministers in front of him.
Xu Changge took a puff of cigarette and asked us: "Are you all Mengyun's friends?"
I nodded quickly and reported the names of the three of us.
Xu Changge nodded, glanced at me, and asked, "Are you Lin Yang?"
I quickly replied: "I am Lin Yang." When I said this, I felt that cold sweat was flowing down my whole body, and my whole shirt was already wet.
Xu Changge smiled slightly, pointed to the blood jade on the table, and asked: "Which one of you wants this piece of blood jade?"
I was stunned, but I didn’t expect that he already understood our intention just by looking at it. Mengyun said quickly: "Dad, you misunderstood. They didn't want it, they just wanted to borrow it."
Xu Changge took another puff of cigarette, without looking at Mengyun, and said: "You can borrow it, if you really want it, there's nothing wrong with me giving it to you. After all, you are all Mengyun's friends. Mengyun has been pampered since childhood.
I must have received a lot of help from you at school."
At this point, I saw that Mengyun's face changed, obviously she was very dissatisfied with her father's words, but Mengyun did not dare to fall out with her father, and she felt so aggrieved that she was about to cry.
Xu Changge pretended to turn a blind eye and continued: "The color of this piece of blood jade is not very good. I wonder if it will be able to catch the eyes of the three of you?"
When we heard that Xu Changge was going to give the blood jade to us, we were all shocked. Not caring about the quality of the blood jade, I quickly waved my hands and said, "I don't dare to take it seriously. We have not studied blood jade and dare not say anything about it.
"
Xu Changge nodded, took another puff of cigarette, and said: "This blood jade should have been buried during the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty, and the last page of the Qing Dynasty was taken out. It is now hundreds of years old. It is not bad in terms of time, but this
The original owner had an ordinary life and did not raise a good piece of jade. It is a pity, it is such a pity. If you like it, just take it."
Before I could say anything, Old Cat quickly took out the blood jade, held it in his arms, and said, "Thank you very much."
I always felt that this was a bit of a reward for nothing, and I felt uneasy, so I quickly said: "Uncle, don't worry, I will return this piece of blood jade immediately after I use it up, and I will never take your treasure in vain."
Xu Changge smiled softly and said: "Lin Yang, you stay here to talk to me, and the other two should go to the living room to have a rest first?"
When Laomao and the others heard this, they realized that this was obviously an eviction order, and they were not people without discernment. They hurriedly said goodbye and left. Mengyun watched the two of them leave, and looked at Xu Changge again, saying that she didn't want to leave, and she didn't want to stay.
Xu Changge glared at Mengyun and said, "What are you doing standing still? Close the door!"
When I heard that Xu Changge was about to close the door, I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat. What was he going to do? Close the door and let the dogs out? This ghost mastiff is so big, it would be easy to bite me to death. Could it be that Xu Changge knew that I was living with her daughter?
Are you going to kill me now to vent your anger?
The more I thought about it, the more scared I became. I felt a little stupid. At this time, Mengyun had already closed the door of the study. There were only three of us left in the whole study. Xu Changge and I looked at each other, and the ghost mastiff at Xu Changge’s feet was even more so.
It whined and screamed, ready to fight at any time.
When Mengyun came over, Xu Changge glanced at her and whispered to me: "Are you living with Mengyun now?"
I was stunned for a moment and thought to myself that it was indeed because of this incident. I quickly nodded and said, "Yes."
Xu Changge smiled softly and said: "Young people today, why are you so open-minded? If you did this in our time, you would be despised by thousands of people."
I was still sweating coldly and didn't know how to answer him.
Xu Changge glanced at me, then at Mengyun, and suddenly asked: "Lin Yang, do you like my Mengyun?"
As soon as these words came out, my mind went blank. Mengyun also became anxious and shouted: "Dad! What did you say?"
Xu Changge waved his hand and ignored Mengyun, but said again: "Lin Yang, I never like to repeat my words. Don't ask me to ask you a second time."
I looked at Mengyun and then at Xu Changge, thinking about this issue for the first time.
Do I like Mengyun?
Mengyun is a goddess, recognized as the school belle of Polytechnic University, and she is fair and beautiful. Why should I not like her?
But it has been so long ago, ever since Mengyun and I met, I have almost never had free time to think about these things about the love between children. After all, from the time we met until now, we have always been running for survival.
Now facing Xu Changge's interrogation, I finally faced this issue squarely. What exactly do I think about Mengyun?
During my silence, Xu Changge had already made a judgment. He took a puff of cigarette and said with a sneer: "Mengyun, you have seen it. The boy who lives with you now doesn't like you at all. If he really
If I had feelings for you, I would never hesitate for so long."
Mengyun's face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth and said, "You're talking nonsense! Dad, you don't have to take care of our affairs!"
Faced with Mengyun's violent reaction, Xu Changge acted quite calmly, as if Mengyun's happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy had nothing to do with him. He just said lightly: "It's not that I want to meddle in other people's business, but you have to know that this man doesn't care about anything at all.
like you."
Mengyun bit her lip tightly, and her whole body started to tremble. Seeing Mengyun like this, I felt heartbroken and said quickly: "No, uncle, I like Mengyun very much, but I have never said it before."
After Xu Changge heard this, a trace of ridicule flashed across his face. I saw him gently put out the cigarette in his hand, turned his head and looked at me, and said with a smile: "Oh? Really? Lin Yang, are you sure you are not?
