Zhang Ling looked at her father in disbelief. She was so anxious to marry her daughter off that she even pushed her into the fire pit.
I think my father was such a principled person, but now he can be so unprincipled.
"No!" Zhang Ling and Li Xiang said with rare tacit understanding.
"Okay, okay, it seems that you two are really destined to be together. Even when you talk, you have such a tacit understanding."
The two looked at each other with disgust and said in unison: "No, who cares about being destined to be with him (her)?"
"Haha!" The father laughed happily. Suddenly he realized the meaning of their denial. He first observed his daughter, "You said no, I know the reason."
"Dad, what do you know? Stop lying to outsiders!" Zhang Ling felt very bad.
The father did not answer Zhang Ling's words. He moved closer to Li Xiang, looked at her in confusion and said, "But why did you refuse what I said?"
"This...I..." Li Xiang thought about it again and again but still couldn't speak.
He couldn't say that he had just felt Zhang Ling's hostility. He was afraid that Zhang Ling would let his face come into close contact with a certain surface again.
Of course, there was another reason for his refusal. The contract with Zhen Li Xiang stipulated that he could only live in Zhen Li Xiang's home during the contract period.
Allowing Zhang Ling to take care of him, considering the luxury of Li's residence, would inevitably run the risk of being considered a liar.
His relationship with Zhang Ling seems to be on the verge of collapse, but he doesn't want to end up with a reputation as a liar.
"Oh, I understand." His father's face was solemn, with a hint of anger. "Li, I wonder if you have a sweet wife hidden at home and are still flirting with women outside. Now you are worried that your whereabouts will be exposed, so you refuse.
.Hmph, I guess I misjudged you."
Li Xiang unconsciously glanced at Zhang Ling, still very concerned about her opinion of him, and quickly explained to his father excitedly:
"No, uncle, don't get me wrong, how is this possible? She is indeed unmarried, and she has no messy relationship problems. I can swear to God!"
After listening to Li Xiang's explanation, his father only had a smile on his face, and then said nervously: "It's broken, so now there is only one possibility."
Zhang Ling and Li Xiang both watched in confusion as their father turned around and ran out of the ward.
After a while, he came in with a hospital wheelchair. Without too much explanation, he yelled at Zhang Ling not to follow, and pushed Li Xiang out of the ward alone.
Looking at her father's appearance, she was really worried. Like men, they would choose a deserted place and brutally fight a duel to finally decide who to listen to.
When she quietly followed them and watched her father push Li Xiang into the men's department of the hospital, she suddenly understood her father's intention.
She even admired her father's somewhat nonsensical behavior. He actually forced a man whom he had only met twice to see an andrology department.
Of course, she was also concerned about Li Xiang's face problem, so she did not follow up and returned to Li Xiang's previous ward to wait.
Have room!
She stood alone in front of the ward window, looking at the night scene outside in a daze, feeling vaguely like someone was watching her behind her.
But it was very strange. She turned around many times or looked through the window glass, but she didn't see anyone behind her.
Illusion? For the time being, she thought it was a hallucination caused by nervousness.
Her ears finally heard the voices of two men, and saw the figures at the door on the glass. Then she turned back to look at her father and asked:
"Dad, where have you been? I haven't eaten all day, and I'm almost starving to death."
"This..." The two men looked at each other awkwardly. Li Xiang, who was quick to respond, understood his father's embarrassment and explained, "Uncle, I was worried that the doctor just now didn't examine my injury carefully enough. So he brought another
I asked another expert to take a look."
"Yes, that's it!" His father admired his adaptability very much. He patted his shoulder and looked at Zhang Ling and said, "Lingling, you just said you were hungry. We happened to be hungry too. I heard there is a good restaurant nearby.
.How about we go have a meal somewhere?”
She clearly remembered the meals at home and had basically prepared them.
My father changed his past frugal style and did not plan to go home for dinner. He wanted to go to a luxurious hotel.
"Dad, are you sure?" she asked in disbelief.
But the father patted his chest and said, "Of course, I'm treating you today!"
The father most likely treated Li Xiang to a meal as an apology for forcing Li Xiang to undergo an andrology surgery.
Zhang Ling still understands this in her heart.
So she didn't object and followed Li Xiang out of the hospital after his injured ankle was fixed.
However, she increasingly felt that this was another new trick used by her father to deceive her daughter.
Sure enough, Zhang Ling’s hunch was right!
The two men blatantly ignored the doctor's advice, just like friends who had forgotten their years, exchanging cups and cups, talking happily.
The cunning father finally got Li Xiang drunk and entrusted her to take him home personally.
"Dad, you also drank a lot, I'd better take you home first." Zhang Ling said worriedly.
My father patted his chest and said, "It's okay. Even if we drink another bottle of Wuliangye, your dad and I will still be very sober. You don't know it yet! When your dad was young, he was known as someone who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."
Men, a common problem at the wine table, always like to act heroic.
"But I still don't trust you. Why don't you take Li Xiang home?"
"No!" When his father heard this, he immediately became anxious and pointed at Zhang Ling's nose and said, "Lingling, how unbecoming is it for you to bring a man home to stay overnight before you are married? You must never accept this idea, remember?"
"
Dad, what kind of logic is this!
Forcibly thrusting your daughter into a man's house late at night, is this consistent with what you call decency?
Help!
How could I end up with such a father?
Zhang Ling screamed silently in her heart.
The father did not hear Zhang Ling's answer, and shouted angrily: "Tell me, tell me you remember it, louder."
Zhang Ling was stunned and looked around. Fortunately, there was no one around. She quickly replied: "Dad, I remember it!"
"Okay, you can send Li Xiang home! Remember, you must go home immediately after sending him off. Do you hear me?" his father said in a commanding tone.
"I heard it." Zhang Ling replied immediately.
She didn't want to hear her father's roar again on the street.
Zhang Ling watched her father leave in a taxi, and then struggled to drag Li Xiang into the car. As soon as she sat in the driver's seat, she vaguely heard him talking drunkenly.
"Zhang Ling, don't be angry."
She suddenly turned around and looked at him holding her bag, pressing it tightly against his face that was filled with a happy smile, and her saliva was about to flow down.
"My Chanel!" She reached out to pull back her beloved bag with a look of heartache and disgust. She was worried that the chain would be torn off, so she didn't dare to use too much force. It was very troublesome!
Zhang Ling looked at her saliva flowing on her bag and really wanted to slap him to death.
However, she suddenly heard another sentence, "You look so beautiful when you smile," which caused the tugging movement to stop. She smiled sweetly amidst the praise and chose to give up and not take the bag back by force.
Some people say that if a woman is interested in you when she is in love, she will be very concerned about the man's evaluation of her, and will become very inferior and unconfident in her appearance. At this time, the woman wants to be recognized by the man she loves.
"Huh, seeing as you're drunk, I'll spare you this time."
On the surface, she seemed to be talking to herself angrily, but in fact, she was still immersed in the words, "You look so beautiful when you smile."
The car started and she drove to the home address that her father had set out before.
Li Xiang also understood his father's intention in advance. After telling Li Xiang's real address, he explained to everyone's surprised expressions that he was only temporarily living in a mansion owned by a rich friend.
He turned back to his father, who was parked not far away, and let the taxi follow him quietly.
Zhang Ling did not know that her father was following her.
On the surface, the father tried his best to persuade his daughter to send the drunk Li Xiang away, but deep down he was still very worried that something might happen to his daughter. As a man, he also knew the nature of men, especially drunk men, who were the most dangerous.
However, it is the fastest way to see a man's character after drinking. This is another reason why his father tried his best to get Li Xiang to drink.
Zhang Ling finally left Li Xiang on the bed. Perhaps because he was lying on a comfortable bed, he was finally willing to loosen his Chanel bag.
She wiped the saliva stains on her bag with a wet wipe in disgust, and wondered why drunkards were so heavy.
Before leaving, she put a glass of water on the bedside table just like she did when she took care of her drunken father.
Suddenly, her phone rang, subconsciously afraid of disturbing Li Xiang, she quickly answered it, and her father's voice came from the other end.
"Lingling, I've been waiting for you at home for a while. Come back soon, do you hear me?"
Is her father taking the time to make a phone call? She had a vague feeling.
"Yeah, let's go back now. Let's not talk anymore, I'm driving." Zhang Ling didn't want to listen to her father's nagging too much and hung up the phone.
My father was sitting in the taxi outside, looking at his cell phone, and said with a little anger: "Girl, your wings are really tough, you dare to hang up on me like this. Forget it, master, let's go."
Just when Zhang Ling turned off the bedside lamp in the bedroom and was about to leave, she heard another drunken remark from Li Xiangzai, but it felt more like a vow to her.
"Zhang Ling, as long as I'm here, you can go to the class reunion with confidence."
"I'm here" seemed to be filled with magic, instantly giving her the greatest sense of security.
She stopped walking about to leave, feeling warm in her heart for a moment. She looked back at Li Xiang lying on the bed, and finally moved her eyes to the plaster on her ankle. There was regret in her eyes, and then she suddenly smiled happily for no reason.
"When I was at a loss, terrified, and didn't even know how to get out of the quagmire, it was enough to hear you say these words to me. Thank you!"
When she said this to herself, she seemed to remember her bad attitude in the ward. She frowned slightly and continued to look at him and said:
"I also apologize for what I said to you in the ward. I'm sorry. In fact, you are really a good person."
Li Xiang heard the bedroom door close. He slowly sat up from the bed, looked at the night sky outside the window, the stars were still twinkling, and said with a bit of sadness on his face:
"What I'm waiting for is not your good guy card but your sincerity."
