Li Xiang understood his father's intention and could only choose to pretend to be drunk.
Of course, this can also avoid answering questions you don’t want to answer.
He also clearly felt that Zhang Ling was different from before, and wanted to take advantage of her drunken state to eavesdrop without outsiders, trying to hear some unknown secrets.
Although Li Xiang did not hear any valuable information, he could confirm two things from Zhang Ling's speech and attitude.
First, she didn't hate him deep down, she even liked him a little;
First, she did encounter a headache.
He was a little excited after confirming her intention, so all he had to do next was to help her get through the difficulties smoothly.
Li Xiang didn't care that it was already very late, so he picked up the phone and dialed Chen Jian's number.
"Hey, brother, you didn't even look at the time and you still called me. I'm being asked to work by you during the day, and you have to deal with Shangguan Aoxue at night. It's really tiring!" came the first call from the other end of the phone.
Here comes Chen Jian’s complaint.
Li Xiang said calmly: "We are all brothers. If I come to see you in an emergency, do you have the nerve to let me pick a special time?"
"Yes, what you say is always so reasonable." Chen Jian's tone was obviously a little excited, and then he joked, "Tell me, dad is dead, or mom is married. Are you going to let your brother accompany you to keep your filial piety, or are you going to sacrifice your life?"
Be the best man."
"Fuck you, talk more seriously."
"Okay, okay, let me get serious. I really can't understand that you are calling me to ask for help, and you still talk to me with this attitude."
Li Xiang continued without saying anything: "Do you still remember the note I gave you? Please help me check what happened after Zhang Ling went to work this morning. Oh, no, I should say what happened after she went to work yesterday morning?"
"Female doctor!" Chen Jian said excitedly.
Li Xiang said helplessly: "Yes, it's that female doctor. Can you do it? I want it at noon at the latest."
After all, Chen Jian's ability in this area is indeed outstanding.
"It concerns my future sister-in-law. Don't worry, it won't take until noon. I will deliver it to you personally after work in the morning." Chen Jian said with a bit of ridicule.
Li Xiang didn't speak, but with a smile on his face, he hung up the phone before saying "goodbye" to each other.
Chen Jian looked at the phone screen angrily and said: "Sure enough, men are all ungrateful things. Hmph..."
While dialing my subordinate's phone and waiting to be connected, I suddenly realized that there was something wrong with what I just said.
Then, Chen Jian laughed at himself: "Why should I say that I am a thing? It's so funny!"
Li Xiang lay back on the bed and vaguely smelled the fragrance on the quilt. It was Zhang Ling's body fragrance left behind when she helped him cover him with the quilt before leaving.
He closed his eyes and felt that she had not left, but was still watching in the room.
When my father returned home and did some cleaning, he heard Zhang Ling's voice opening the door.
Zhang Ling hurriedly came over. Knowing her father's purpose, Zhang Ling stood there obediently and was grabbed by her father and looked around for several times.
Then the father stopped and asked urgently: "Lingling, please send that guy back, he didn't do anything to you, did he?"
Zhang Ling deliberately brewed up her feelings, didn't say anything, sat down on the sofa, lowered her head and covered her face with her hands, and let out a sad sob.
"What? What happened to that bastard?" His father looked remorseful and slapped his thigh fiercely, as if he had lost the most precious thing. "Oh, Li Xiang, I guess I misjudged you."
See if you still dare to send your daughter to a strange man's house at night.
Zhang Ling felt warm in her heart when she heard her father's anxious look, and her previous resentment towards her father also dissipated a lot.
Seeing that Zhang Ling was silent and could only wipe her tears, her father suddenly became confused and rushed into the kitchen to pick up the kitchen knife. He looked at Zhang Ling again and comforted her:
"Daughter, don't worry, I'll help you kill that scoundrel with my own hands."
When her father just opened the door, she shouted in time: "Dad, why are you going?"
The father was filled with righteous indignation and said: "Don't stop me. If you dare to bully my daughter, see if I don't chop up that bastard with my own hands tonight."
"Wait a minute, listen to what I have to say first, and it's not too late to seek justice."
The father always acted with reason. He accepted his daughter's suggestion and said: "Speak!"
"Li Xiang just soiled my Chanel bag, you wouldn't hold a kitchen knife to seek justice for me." She explained very quickly.
"What! That's it?" Father looked at Zhang Ling with some surprise.
Unexpectedly, he was deceived by his own daughter for the first time.
Zhang Ling said with a hint of childish naughtiness: "Yes, otherwise what do you think it is?"
"I thought..." In order to save some face for himself, his father sat back down next to Zhang Ling, "I thought that was what you thought. Lingling, you are right, it is really not worth it to bring a kitchen knife to seek justice for this kind of thing.
."
After her father finished speaking, he dropped the kitchen knife in his hand on the coffee table in front of him. The harsh sound made Zhang Ling tremble.
"Dad, don't look at me like that." Her father's eyes seemed to be able to judge the soul, which made her feel a little guilty.
Although she did do some wrong things tonight, such as hurting her father's supposed benefactor, or telling a harmless lie.
Her father didn't respond to Zhang Ling's words, he just looked at her like this, causing her to fall into endless torment.
Sisu!
She finally couldn't bear it anymore and decided to admit her mistake proactively: "Dad, I know..."
The father also said at the same time: "I know you will feel that your marriage, as a father, I should not interfere."
"Dad!"
Her father raised his hand to signal her not to speak, and he continued: "But as a person who has been through this, it is time for me to say something. Remember, what I am about to say was also said by your mother back then."
She was a little uncomfortable with her father's attitude tonight, but she still nodded expectantly when talking about her mother.
"She said that people love beauty by nature, and women tend to magnify this nature infinitely. Therefore, women are most likely to mindlessly covet beauty and forget to explore the essence of men. This is wrong."
She first thought that Yan Yuan was the best template. But she didn't think that she would be such a shallow woman.
"So Lingling, if you want to get married, you can't just be obsessed with a man's handsome appearance, but you must also see the man's essence. Because a man with good nature will care about and respect your wishes at all times. It will also allow you to enjoy being loved to the maximum extent.
Happiness."
When she looked at her father saying these words, it seemed as if she really saw her mother sitting next to her, holding her hands tightly with both hands, and speaking these words seriously.
Therefore, these words added more convincing power to Zhang Ling out of thin air.
She looked at her father and said with a smile: "Dad, so my mother's greatest happiness in this life is that she chose to marry you."
The father excitedly held Jingying in his mouth, grabbed Zhang Ling's hand and said: "It looks like, it really looks like. I seem to see your mother again, just like you now, holding my hand and saying these words with a happy face.
.”
She asked curiously: "So how much do I look like my mother?"
Zhang Ling has never met her mother, and there is no photo of her mother at home.
She had asked her father for photos many times, but his father always felt sad when he heard about it, making her embarrassed to continue asking for them every time.
Because she had never seen a photo of her mother, she once suspected that she was like a monkey, jumping out of the cracks in the rocks.
"It's like, it's very similar, it's really similar!" After saying this, my father once again fell into endless sadness.
She felt that her father really loved her mother very much. She had never heard anything about her father since she was a child.
What made her feel even more outrageous was that all single members of the opposite sex who were of the same age as her father respected her father very much. They all also said that they would never have any thoughts about his father.
This put the idea of finding a wife for her father on hold.
Zhang Ling is still very curious about what her father said to these people of the opposite sex that would make them stop having any wrong thoughts.
There were a lot of things going on today, which made her exhausted both physically and mentally.
It was late at night, and she should have fallen asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, but now she was lying alone in bed unable to fall asleep.
Before going back to the bedroom, my father was still sitting on the sofa sadly, as if recalling my mother's voice and appearance in the past.
She was worried about her father, so she got up three times and checked her father through the crack in the door. She felt relieved after he had gone back to the bedroom to go to bed.
As soon as I closed my eyes, another rumor thread on the company website forum flashed through my mind.
She was very puzzled that the person who posted the message was not an employee of the company. How did he enter the company website forum to post?
There is no definite answer to this question yet.
Another annoying thing came to mind, and that was the invitation to Li Xi's wedding tomorrow, but it was actually a class reunion in the nature of comparison.
She regretted that she had not controlled her emotions well today and was too impulsive, which resulted in Li Xiang's injury.
The fake boyfriend she had prepared was destined to be gone. She was ready to go to the class reunion alone and face the cynicism, flattery and contempt that would come sooner or later.
Thinking of this, everything should have been settled for her, and she just needed to adjust her mentality to meet the destined ending.
Unexpectedly, she closed her eyes for a long time and still couldn't fall asleep.
She was worried about something inexplicably at first, and then some fragments of her time with Li Xiang emerged in her mind from time to time.
There was the milky white thermos cup handed to him while they were standing under the wind turbine, there was her begging for mercy when she grabbed her and pressed her to the front windshield, and there was him crying in pain as he fell in the bathroom...
She stood up suddenly and sat on the bed, scratching her head with her hands in pain.
"What's wrong with me? Pictures of him always appear in my mind."
A voice suddenly sounded in her mind.
This is a sign that you like him.
"No, it's impossible. How could I fall in love with him? I vowed that I would never like any man again, let alone a migrant worker like him. This is absolutely impossible."
So how do you explain those images?
She was stunned for a while, then an idea flashed in her mind, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and she said to herself:
"That's because I accidentally hurt him today. My conscience makes me feel guilty for him. Even if I face a stranger, I will feel guilty, okay? Besides, we are still friends! So the love you mentioned does not exist at all.
.”
That's all?
With a bright smile on her face, she said: "Yes, my father is right. I have to be responsible for my actions, so I decided."
What?
She said with a serious expression: "I have decided to listen to my father from tomorrow and take time to take care of his daily life until he recovers. This can be regarded as a normal compensation for him."
Zhang Ling soothed herself who had insomnia. It seemed to be very useful. After she officially decided to compensate Li Xiang, she finally fell into a peaceful sleep.
