Yan Yuan, who reacted the fastest, immediately guessed who this man was through Zhang Ling's facial expressions.
He stepped forward in a familiar manner and said excitedly with a somewhat provocative look in his eyes: "You must be the handsome and talented boyfriend Zhang Ling talks about."
"Ah?" The man was surprised and a little excited.
After all, he really wanted this kind of relationship with Zhang Ling.
Yan Yuan deliberately held the man's hand with both hands and said: "Hello, I am Zhang Ling's best friend and best friend Yan Yuan."
"Hello! My name is Li Xiang." Li Xiang tried to break free for the first time but failed. He looked at Zhang Ling helplessly, expecting to be rescued.
Considering the relationship between Yan Yuan and Zhang Ling, it is really difficult for him to forcefully break away.
Yan Yuan grasped the weakness of people who like to hear good words, and searched for matching words of praise in his mind: "Li Xiang..."
Zhang Ling saw Li Xiang being entangled, as if an exclusive personal item was desecrated by an outsider, and she instantly felt resistance and disgust. When Yan Yuan thought for a moment, she stepped forward and pulled away the hands that were held together, and then forcibly blocked the two sides.
among people.
"Yan Yuan!"
The father is currently very satisfied with Li Xiang. He also learned that he is acquainted with his daughter. He even saw her daughter's nervous look and felt that there should be some success in bringing them together.
Yan Yuan said anxiously and reluctantly: "Lingling, what are you doing? I still have something to say to Li."
Zhang Ling grabbed Yan Yuan's arms with both hands and pushed them away, keeping a safe distance. She said seriously with a little anger:
"Yan Yuan, don't make trouble. Just keep talking. It's our first time meeting. Why are you so close? We can all hear you talking like this."
"Did you hear that?" Yan Yuan showed a strange smile and whispered into Zhang Ling's ear, "But some whispers are just for fear of being heard! It seems that you are really tempted by your declaration of sovereignty so nervously, so the sisters will not get along with each other.
You fought."
When Zhang Ling heard these words, she reflexively pushed Yan Yuan away again. As if she was afraid of being caught, she quickly turned her back. The moment she saw Li Xiang, her heart beat violently.
Li Xiang looked at Zhang Ling who suddenly turned around, her cheeks as white and tender as jade were rosy, her eyes twinkling but she didn't dare to look directly at him.
He asked with some excitement: "Zhang Ling, are you okay?"
No, she had to say or do something at this time to cover up the temporary throbbing in her heart.
She stood at attention and bowed respectfully to Li Xiang: "Li Xiang, thank you very much for lending a helping hand and sending my father to the hospital. To express my gratitude, how about I treat you to a meal first?"
"Okay, okay!" This was an unexpected surprise for Li Xianglai, and he said without thinking, "But we had made an appointment to have dinner together yesterday. Can the dinner invitation you asked for today be scheduled for next time?
?”
This is probably human greed.
"What? You made an appointment to have dinner together today!" Father and Yan Yuan said in unison.
My father was even more happy, but in order to maintain the dignity of his elders, he still remained a little serious and continued: "Zhang Ling, should you give me an explanation?"
Yan Yuan also nodded repeatedly, his gossipy eyes eager to be satisfied.
Li Xiang looked at Zhang Ling, whose face turned ugly for a moment, and realized that what he just said was a bit too much.
"Zhang Ling, I..."
Zhang Ling suddenly said sharply: "Shut up!"
"Zhang Ling, why are you talking to your benefactor?" After his father scolded Zhang Ling with a slight frown, he looked at Li Xiang with a smile and bowed slightly, "Benefactor, don't mind. This girl is usually spoiled by me.
The old man apologized to you on her behalf."
Zhang Ling was very confused about her father's operation and asked her for an explanation earlier. She obviously didn't like Li Xiang.
Now talking to Li Xiang like this, he looks like he likes this man very much.
"Uncle, don't, don't, don't talk like that." He hurriedly stepped forward to help his father up, looked back at Zhang Ling with a little fear, and said, "It's okay, since we are friends, we will naturally understand each other. Besides, I'm okay with that.
I like to see her being cruel to me."
At this time, he deeply felt that even if Zhang Ling did not accept it for the time being, as long as he could improve his relationship with his future father-in-law, Zhang Ling's consent would be just around the corner.
"I really like seeing her being mean to me." Yan Yuan looked at Zhang Ling from Li Xiang with a smirk on her face.
"You..." Zhang Ling vaguely felt that Li Xiang had planned it for a long time, but because there was no direct evidence, she could only suppress the anger in her heart. Then she explained to Yan Yuan beside her, "No, we really..."
"Shh, don't explain! I understand." Yan Yuan signaled Zhang Ling to stop talking, then she leaned into Zhang Ling's ear and said with a smile, "Well, not bad! My dear Lingling, sisters, I am very optimistic about this brother-in-law.
You have to work hard!"
Zhang Ling hated Yan Yuan for never having principles when it came to men. She hated her the most today!
At this time, Li Xiang clearly felt that Zhang Ling's eyes seemed to be able to burn the soul, and she was staring at him intently.
He unconsciously moved closer to the hospital bed, subconsciously looking for support. When he felt his hand being pulled, he quickly turned his eyes to his father.
"uncle……"
The father grabbed Li Xiang's hand and said with a smile: "Okay, very good! My benefactor, I understand. My daughter Zhang Ling promised to treat you to two meals."
"Uncle, please don't call me benefactor. You should just call me Li Xiang."
The father nodded with satisfaction and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely urge Zhang Ling to treat you to this meal. Even if she forgets to treat you in the future. I will cook it myself and invite you to my house for a simple meal."
"Uncle, isn't this good?" Li Xiang said politely with a little hesitation.
Yan Yuan understood his father's look and said excitedly:
"My uncle's cooking is comparable to that of a five-star hotel chef. Especially the sweet and sour pork ribs that no one can surpass. Uncle, can I go then?"
"Okay, let's come together." Uncle looked at Yan Yuan and agreed.
Zhang Ling felt like she was being ignored, and asked with some emotion: "Dad, you don't need me to explain anything now?"
"What's the explanation? Isn't it obvious! Your father and I are not blind. We can see everything really clearly." The father said with a smile.
"Dad, what are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense in front of outsiders! We are really just ordinary friends who just met yesterday." Zhang Ling tried to explain.
My father said: "I understand, understand, which relationship in this world does not gradually evolve from outsiders?"
At this time, Yan Yuan leaned into Zhang Ling's ear again and whispered with a bit of teasing:
"Well, we just met yesterday as ordinary friends, and we have made an appointment to have dinner together today. You are indeed making rapid progress!"
"Yan Yuan!" Zhang Ling tried to hide her annoyance, but then looked at Li Xiang complainingly and reminded, "Li Xiang, why don't you say a word!"
Li Xiang could only smile helplessly and say: "Yes, we did just meet on a blind date yesterday."
"I know, I know, we knew it a long time ago." Father and Yan Yuan said in unison.
Zhang Ling saw that the problem seemed to be getting darker and darker, so she simply said, "Forget it, believe it or not."
Li Xiang was lucky enough to see Zhang Ling, who was a little more humble and caring when facing her relatives; she was no longer strong, aloof, and aggressively indifferent when they met yesterday.
"Believe it, of course I believe it. You are my daughter. If I don't believe you, who can I believe?" said the father.
Sometimes "trust" needs to be spoken out to clear up misunderstandings.
Yan Yuan glanced at the time on her phone and said, "Hey, it's time for lunch..."
When my father heard this, he quickly took over and said, "Yes, it's indeed time. Unfortunately, I still have a set of potions that I haven't finished yet. Yan Yuan, please stay with me for a while."
"Uncle, why! I want to..." Yan Yuan looked aggrieved.
Did his father know what Yan Yuan was thinking? He said with a serious expression: "How come you have spared me so many meals and are still aggrieved by asking you to accompany me for a while?"
When Yan Yuan heard this, he said, "I'm not aggrieved, not at all" for the sake of continuing to earn a living.
"It just so happens that you have made an appointment to have dinner together." His father looked up at Li Xiang first, then looked at Zhang Ling and said, "Lingling, please thank Li Xiang for my kindness. After dinner, you can also invite me
Let’s watch a movie or something.”
His father's amazing assist made Li Xiang feel happy.
The idea of asking Zhang Ling to treat him was actually a disguised reminder to Li Xiang that as long as he was charming enough to retain Zhang Ling, he could arrange whatever he wanted.
"Got it!" Zhang Ling said to her father in a perfunctory tone, and then looked at Li Xiang with indifference in her eyes, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, "Let's go, benefactor!"
Before Li Xiang left, he said politely: "Uncle, I'll leave now. I'll visit you another day when I'm free."
"Okay!" The father looked at Li Xiang's back and liked it more and more.
Yan Yuan leaned over and said in his father's ear: "Uncle, this son-in-law is not bad."
"Well, that's good!" At this time, his father suddenly stopped smiling and said to Yan Yuan with a serious expression, "Girl, you should calm down. Look at which of the many boyfriends you have been talking to for more than a week?
By the way, the person who is close to the ink is the black, sometimes it is really..."
"Oh, wait! Uncle, I don't want you to be like this. We have to act according to our conscience. I think it was you who asked me to persuade Lingling to find a partner. Now that you have a son-in-law-to-be, are you planning to drive me away?" Yan Yuan pointed out.
He argued without showing any signs of weakness.
"As long as you don't make trouble and scare away my good son-in-law, I won't care what you do." The father stated his intention directly.
"Uncle, what are you thinking? Lingling and I have been good sisters for more than 20 years. Do you think I am the type to do that kind of thing? This is impossible!"
"Remember what you said today!" my father said with a serious expression.
Father knew that every time Zhang Ling went on a blind date, Yan Yuan was the one who interfered with it, so that those men would not pester Zhang Ling in the future. Regardless of whether Zhang Ling and Yan Yuan had discussed this matter? He wanted to eliminate all uneasy factors.
.
X hotel.
Li Xiang stood at the door and pointed at the signboard and said: "I led people to renovate this restaurant. The boss was very satisfied and gave me a VIP card. How about we eat here?"
Zhang Ling guessed that Li Xiang was a migrant worker and gave him the right to choose a hotel. She did not expect that Li Xiang actually chose a seemingly high-end hotel.
She looked at Li Xiang and fell into deep thought for a moment.
Migrant workers are just migrant workers. They have good taste. If this skin is carefully designed, it might be possible to play the role of a boyfriend who has returned from overseas.
Li Xiang noticed Zhang Ling's frown, but didn't get a definite answer quickly, so he quickly said with a smile:
"Zhang Ling, look at your expression, does it mean you don't like this place? It's okay, there is a well-decorated restaurant in front. How about we go there."
"No need." Zhang Ling came back to her senses, looked inside through the hotel glass, and said with an elusive smile, "You just said that you led people to decorate this place? Then I want to go in and take a look.
.”
"Yes." Li Xiang replied somewhat dullly.
Zhang Ling walked to the door alone first, then realized that Li Xiang had not followed. She turned back and smiled at him and said, "Li Xiang, why are you so stunned? Come on!"
"Okay!" followed closely.
As soon as he entered the door, a rather handsome man in black uniform came towards him.
"Welcome! Please..." The man recognized Zhang Ling as he spoke, "You, you are Zhang Ling, the beauty of Wuchuan No. 3 Middle School!"
