After Xu Hongdou's parents had a video chat with her, the more they thought about it, the more wrong they became, so they sat down to make a summary.
"You said that Wang Gang is really Hong Doudou's neighbor. Why don't I feel like it." Xu's father said to Xu's mother seriously.
"Do you feel this way too?" Xu's mother became more energetic and said:
"Hongdoudou didn't have any male friends in the past. There was no time when he introduced us to them generously!"
"Yes, yes, when we introduced Wang Gang this time, he was very secretive, and it looked like he was a thief with a guilty conscience!" Xu's father nodded in agreement.
The more Xu's mother thought about it, the more wrong she became. She quickly took out her mobile phone. Just now, she took a careful screenshot of Wang Gang's photo.
"Look, this Wang Gang looks pretty good. He's not like many boys nowadays who are thin and weak."
Xu's father took out his reading glasses and looked at Wang Gang carefully. He couldn't help but regretfully said: "I only took a picture of the side face. It would be better if the whole face was taken."
Xu's mother rolled her eyes at her husband, snatched back the phone and said, "What do you know? You can tell your appearance from half of your face. You don't understand this."
"How could I not understand?" Xu's father said unconvinced, "I remember when I took a brief look at you on the bridge, I decided in my heart that you would be my future wife."
When Xu's mother heard the words, she didn't think anything of it, but her heart was as sweet as honey.
The old couple looked at the photo of Wang Gang's half-face for a while, then Xu's mother put down her phone and said, "No, I still have to call Hong Doudou to find out if this Wang Gang is her boyfriend."
"It's in vain that you ask. You don't know your daughter yet. If she doesn't want to say anything, it's useless for you to force her." Xu's father said.
"It seems like she is not your daughter. If Hongdou finds an unreliable man, let me see if you are in a hurry." Xu's mother said angrily.
"Aren't we discussing this? What are you in a hurry for?" Xu's father said speechlessly.
"Then what should you do? That Wang Gangke said just now that he has no job and is a freelancer. What does that mean?"
Xu's father thought for a while and said: "Nowadays, many young people don't work hard. They play short videos and post some videos of their lives online for people to watch. Maybe they are that kind of freelancers? They are Internet celebrities!"
"Internet celebrity! That's not okay." Xu's mother said excitedly: "How can my daughter marry that kind of person!?"
Xu's father said: "Look at you, you are in a hurry again. The matter is not clear. We need to calm down!"
"How do you want me to calm down? My daughter is alone outside. What if she encounters a bad guy?" Xu's mother stood up and said, "No, I'll go find her."
"Don't." Xu's father quickly stopped his wife and said, "Isn't this all our guessing? If you rush over now, how can you explain it to your daughter?"
Xu's mother pushed Xu's father away and said angrily: "Then what do you think we should do?"
"Why don't you ask Hongmi, she always has many ideas?" Xu's father suggested.
"Then what are you waiting for? Call Hongmi quickly. That's her sister too!" Xu's mother sat down again.
Xu's father had no choice but to take out his phone and call his eldest daughter Xu Hongmi.
Xu Hongmi was on her way to see a client when she suddenly received a call from her father. She thought something was wrong, but when she heard that it was Xu Hongdou's business, she became angry and said:
"Dad, Xu Hongdou is not a three-year-old child. For such an old man, you don't have to worry about having a boyfriend?"
Xu's father stopped as soon as he heard this.
"Can you not worry about it? The man said he has no job. If your sister really gets married to him, how can you let Hongdou support him?"
Xu Hongmi said with a headache: "Dad, are you thinking too much? Hongdou has only known that person for a few days, and it is still early to talk about marriage. Besides, freelancing does not mean that there is no job. Some freelancers earn more than your daughter."
many!"
Xu's mother snatched Xu's father's cell phone and said, "Hongmi, I just took a screenshot of that man's photo, please give it to your sister."
Xu Hongmi said helplessly: "Okay! Send me the photo. If it doesn't work, I'll look for connections to check it out."
Although Xu Hongmi said she didn't care about her sister, she actually cared about her more than anyone else in her heart.
Xu's mother quickly sent the photo to her eldest daughter.
Xu Hongmi hung up the phone and casually clicked on Wang Gang's photo. At first she glanced at it without paying attention, but she quickly straightened up.
"Why does this person look so familiar?" Xu Hongmi stared at the phone, the more he looked, the more familiar he became.
Because there was only half of Wang Gang's face in the photo, Xu Hongmi looked very hard, but the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became, and he always felt like he had seen it somewhere.
Xu Hongmi's eyes suddenly widened. She put down her phone and rummaged through her briefcase. She took out a stack of information and found a photo on the front page.
She took out the photo and compared it with the photo on her phone, and the next moment she screamed in surprise.
"It can't be such a coincidence!"
The photo was of a key figure in a project that Xu Hongmi was about to discuss. It was exactly the same as the one Xu's mother sent, except that it was a bit whiter.
Xu Hongmi put down the photo and picked up the stack of information. When she saw the words "Wang Gang", she was shocked and quickly took out her phone to call Xu's father.
"Dad, what do you think Xu Hongdou's boyfriend is called?"
"Wang Gang!" Xu's father said.
"It's really him!?" Xu Hongmi said in surprise.
Father Xu heard something and asked, "Why, do you know him?"
Xu Hongmi sighed and said, "Okay, don't worry about Hongdou's boyfriend. I will fly to Yunnan myself."
Xu's father panicked when he heard this and asked hurriedly: "Isn't this Wang Gang a bad person?"
"Dad, don't be frightened. Xu Hongdou's boyfriend is not a bad person. If he is really the person I know, our Hongdou family will be considered a high achiever."
Father Xu and Mother Xu looked at each other, not understanding what their daughter meant by this.
Xu Hongmi didn't explain anything. She comforted her parents and hung up the phone.
She picked up the photo again, raised the corner of her mouth, and said with joy or worry: "Xu Hongdou, Xu Hongdou, let me tell you what's good about you!"
In the evening, Xu Hongmi came home from get off work and thought about it for a long time before calling her sister.
"Xu Hongdou, I heard that you are in love?" Xu Hongmi said straight to the point in the first sentence.
"Who said that? Why didn't I know?" Xu Hongdou said in a panic.
Xu Hongmi knew her sister very well, so it was not her fault that she was so flustered.
"Mom sent me that man's photo, do you know anything about him?" Xu Hongmi asked earnestly.
Xu Hongdou also realized at this time that her sister had never cared about her love.
"What's wrong, sister, is there any problem?"
Xu Hongmi sighed and said, "Is that man's name Wang Gang, or is he a painter?"
Xu Hongdou was startled and asked, "Do you know Brother Wang?"
"I don't know him, I just heard about him." Xu Hongmi sighed quietly.
"Brother Wang is famous?" Xu Hongdou frowned.
Xu Hongmi picked up Wang Gang's information and said: "Although Wang Gang's name is ordinary, he has a very famous pen name. You may have heard of it."
"what name?!"
"Morning light."
Xu Hongdou was startled and blurted out: "That contemporary surrealist painter Chen Xi!?"
Xu Hongdou was certainly familiar with the name Chen Xi. After all, the hotel where she worked still hung Chen Xi's most famous painting, which was of course a replica.
Xu Hongdou heard that a painting of Chen Xi, the most ordinary one, can fetch more than ten million, making it one of the most profitable contemporary painters.
Some people even predicted that if Dawn comes a hundred years later, the value of his paintings will be comparable to those of the great masters in history.
After all, paintings are most valuable only after the author is dead.
When Xu Hongdou thought that the most outstanding contemporary artist lived next door to him, instead of being happy, Xu Hongdou became even more panicked!
Seeing that her sister had not spoken for a long time, Xu Hongmi said, "Our company is competing for the Chenxi Art Exhibition. Let me say hello to you in advance."
Xu Hongdou said depressedly: "Sister, you don't have to worry about me, he is just a neighbor of mine."
Xu Hongmi frowned and said, "I'm not worried about you, but I want to remind you that there have been some rumors circulating in the circle that Chenxi may be suffering from mental illness."
"How is it possible!" Xu Hongdou said excitedly: "Brother Wang is cheerful, enthusiastic and kind, how can he be mentally ill!"
When Xu Hongmi heard that her sister was so excited, her heart skipped a beat.
"You're not really stuck, are you?" Xu Hongmi asked.
"No, no, Brother Wang and I are just ordinary friends." Xu Hongdou concealed:
"If you have ever met Brother Wang, you will know that if he is mentally ill, there will be no normal people in this world."
Xu Hongmi still had some doubts in her heart, but she said: "I just heard what others said. He saw many psychiatrists in the past two years, and then disappeared for a while, so there are some rumors in the circle."
"Anyway, don't worry, Brother Wang is more normal than anyone else."
Xu Hongdou didn't know why, but she just couldn't listen to others talking bad about Wang Gang, especially her family members!
"Okay! I may go to your place in two days to discuss cooperation with him. We will meet and chat then." Xu Hongmi hung up the phone, always feeling that her sister was hiding something from her.
