Zhang Chi poured a drink for Huang Chunxiao, but Lin Daiyu couldn't drink.
Chu Wenxi picked up the wine glass and said, "Welcome Zhang Chi to our home."
Zhang Chi said: "Thank you, auntie, thank you, uncle." He did it first as a sign of respect.
Lin Chaolong also did it, and found that Chu Wenxi drank even more easily than he did.
At first, Lin Daiyu thought that her mother had changed her way of thinking and would come back to make things difficult for Zhang Chi. But now she found that her mother seemed to have lost her aversion to Zhang Chi, and the way she looked at him had obviously become gentler.
I wonder what Zhang Chi said when he was alone with her just now? He could actually change her attitude. Zhang Chi is really amazing.
Lin Daiyu was in a happy mood because of her mother's attitude, so she got up to pour the wine. When she came to her mother, she first asked for her opinion. Unexpectedly, she asked her to pour another glass.
Seeing that things had come to this, Lin Chaolong could only take advantage of the situation. He raised his glass and said with a smile: "Zhang Chi, thank you for taking care of Xiao Yu during this period."
Zhang Chi raised his glass with both hands and said: "Uncle, we are old classmates, so we should take care of you."
Chu Wenxi smiled and said: "Xiaoyu has never brought any classmates to our home."
Lin Daiyu blushed: "Mom!"
Lin Chaolong had a smile on his face, but he was already depressed to the extreme. What did Chu Wenxi mean? I asked you to help, but I didn't ask you to help. He drank the glass of wine and didn't even want to say anything.
Lin Daiyu held the juice and said: "Mom, let me toast you." I feel that my mother suddenly became much cuter today.
Chu Wenxi looked at Lin Daiyu's crystal clear eyes, and a trace of guilt arose in her heart. However, this trace of guilt disappeared briefly, and she said softly: "Xiaoyu, actually mom really wants to say sorry to you, because of your aunt's death a while ago.
I ignored you, you won’t blame me, right?”
Lin Daiyu's eyes were red and she shook her head: "Mom, please stop being sensational, Zhang Chi is here."
Zhang Chi said: "Yes, Auntie, please take care of my feelings as an orphan."
Chu Wenxi cast his gaze at Zhang Chi, and Lin Chaolong actually caught a trace of kindness in her eyes. Was it his own misunderstanding?
Chu Wenxi said: "From now on, you will treat this as your own home. Come, let's have a drink together."
Lin Chaolong felt like an outsider. He could only have a sense of existence when he was working with others. He couldn't live this life.
Zhang Chi now somewhat believes that it is true that the mother-in-law is becoming more and more pleased with her son-in-law. At least Huang Chunxiao has not shown any disgust towards him, and seems to be getting better and better towards him.
Lin Daiyu also picked the right time. Seeing that her mother was in an unprecedented good mood today, she took the opportunity to say: "Mom, I don't want to go to Europe to study."
Chu Wenxi said: "You are such an adult, you have to make your own decisions. We parents cannot control you for the rest of your life."
Cough cough cough...
Lin Chaolong choked on the drink.
Lin Daiyu raised her head to her father in a demonstration and couldn't help but laugh. This smile melted the ice and snow like the spring breeze. Zhang Chi, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but look a little crazy.
Lin Chaolong was not happy with the meal. He had the urge to throw the cup and leave regardless of his demeanor, but his elegant gentleman persona did not allow him to do so. Strangely enough, his cell phone, which usually kept ringing, was surprisingly calm today.
After finally getting a call, Lin Chaolong picked it up and looked at the number. He knew it was the Bank of Communications service hotline. He stood up and pretended to be okay. He hung up the phone and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, my company has something urgent. I have to go back and deal with it as soon as possible."
.”
Chu Wenxi looked at Lin Chaolong meaningfully. Lin Chaolong knew that her excuse would be seen through, so he smiled and said: "Zhang Chi, eat slowly, and ask the driver to take you back later."
Zhang Chi stood up to see him off, but Chu Wenxi asked him to sit down.
After lunch, Zhang Chi wanted to say goodbye and leave, but Chu Wenxi suggested that everyone go out to drink tea together in the garden. Even Lin Daiyu was surprised. Her mother seemed to have completely changed her attitude towards Zhang Chi, and asked many questions about Zhang Chi's past.
Taking advantage of Lin Daiyu's absence, Zhang Chi asked: "Auntie, do you know my grandfather?"
He was also surprised by Huang Chunxiao's performance today. In fact, he couldn't tell what was wrong. He just felt that his impression of a person could not change in such a short period of time.
All changes probably started when Huang Chunxiao knew that he was Zhang Tugen's grandson. This was a key turning point.
Chu Wenxi drank the lipstick tea, placed the tea cup on the spotless tempered glass table, and nodded. She knew that her performance today was a bit abnormal. Zhang Chi was so smart that she couldn't hide it from him.
"You have to promise me not to tell anyone first."
Zhang Chi nodded: "Don't worry."
Chu Wenxi moved closer to him, looked at the outline of his eyebrows, and whispered: "Your grandfather saved my life!"
Zhang Chi had never heard of this incident, but if what Huang Chunxiao said was true, then her sudden change in attitude towards herself would make sense.
Zhang Chi said: "My grandfather is a boiler burner, how do you know him?"
Chu Wenxi smiled lightly. She did not answer Zhang Chi's question, nor did she intend to answer it. She said softly: "You must have had a hard time alone in the past few years, right?"
Zhang Chi said: "Fortunately, we have the government taking care of us."
Chu Wenxi sighed and said: "Very few people will experience so many setbacks as you. Under such circumstances, you can still achieve such results. It is really not easy. I think if your mother is alive in heaven, she will also
I must be happy for you."
Zhang Chi doesn't have a deep impression of his parents. Although he has integrated many memories, his childhood memories are not deep. Both his parents are the kind of people who are not good at expressing emotions. Looking back now, there is really not much that makes him moved and warm.
The memory of ordinary people is probably like this.
Lin Daiyu brought out a plate of desserts. In fact, she had been secretly observing in the living room just now. She was still a little worried. She was worried that her mother's previous behavior was all fake. But seeing her chatting with Zhang Chi so speculatively, she gradually felt relieved.
Come.
Lin Daiyu sat down next to her mother and held her arm. Chu Wenxi resisted a little in her heart, but forced herself to pretend that everything was normal. She looked at Zhang Chi and relaxed her tense nerves. She said softly: "When does Zhang Chi plan to return?"
School?"
"Let's go back on the 7th." Lin Daiyu had booked the tickets in advance.
"What are your plans these days?"
Zhang Chi had made arrangements. He was going to Qingping Mountain in Chenghai tomorrow. He didn't tell Lin Daiyu about this matter. Although meeting Qin Luzhu was not a secret, he might have concealed it or not. After all, he didn't want Lin Daiyu to know too much about the Qin family.
Side things.
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "I don't have any plans. I just have a party with my friends, play cards and have a drink."
Chu Wenxi nodded. At this time, Lin Chaolong called and had already arranged a vacation. Their family was leaving for Phuket tonight.
This holiday was not part of the previous plan. Chu Wenxi felt funny from the bottom of his heart. Lin Chaolong's battle to defend his daughter had officially begun.
She said to Lin Daiyu: "Your father has arranged in advance to go on vacation these days."
Lin Daiyu had not received any news before, and said a little depressed: "You didn't even tell me in advance."
Chu Wenxi said: "He wants to give you an unexpected surprise."
Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Have fun."
He raised his wrist and looked at his copycat Casio. He had been at Qin's house for a long time and it was time to say goodbye. He made an appointment with Xiao Li to go see her in the afternoon and also went to see Zheng Xiaowen.
Chu Wenxi didn't try to persuade him to stay, and was about to ask the driver to take him off. Lin Daiyu took the initiative to ask Ying, "I'll take it off, I have a driver's license." She also wanted to go with Zhang Chi to meet Xiaowen.
Zhang Daxian was sitting in the passenger seat of the Maserati President. He saw that Lin Daiyu's driving skills were just okay and he was convinced that she was not a new road killer, so he felt relieved.
Originally, he wanted to suggest that Lin Daiyu change to a low-key car, but after looking at the Ferraris and Bentleys in the parking lot, he gave up the idea. The old Lin family was really rich.
Zhang Chi sighed: "When I have money in the future, I will hire you as a driver."
Lin Daiyu laughed, feeling that his shamelessness was a bit cute, and whispered: "I'm afraid you can't afford my salary."
Zhang Chi said: "No salary!"
"Then I won't do it!"
Zhang Daxian's hand touched the central control: "The interior is all made of genuine leather, not bad, really good."
His left hand accidentally touched Lin Daiyu's right leg. The steering wheel in Lin Daiyu's hand trembled, and the Maserati swung its tail on the road.
Lin Daiyu's face is as red as an apple, can she be any more shameless? Of course my legs are made of genuine leather.
Zhang Daxian, who had shamelessly succeeded in taking advantage of the situation, was startled. He quickly retracted his hand and firmly grasped the armrest. The atmosphere in the car was a bit awkward.
The bright blue Porsche Cayenne behind held back its power and overtook the car. The owner of the car was so close to the car just now that he almost bit the butt of the car in front of him. He was so angry that he stepped on the accelerator and passed from the right side.
After passing the Maserati, the car deliberately pushed the front of the Maserati, slowed down and braked, changed lanes and drifted, and did this several times in succession.
Lin Daiyu was in the wrong. She knew that the driver in the car in front was a road rage sufferer, so she didn't have the same experience as him. She thought that he would just get out of the car to calm down and leave, but she didn't expect that the car in front of her would not let him go and decided that he would have trouble with them.
Lin Daiyu simply stopped by the side of the road. When encountering such an entangled character, she simply avoided him. You are awesome, so you should go to the head office first.
As soon as they stopped, the car in front also stopped, and three big men with colorful arms got out of the car. They were all tall and thick. The tall driver pointed at their car and cursed: "Paralysis"
Yes, how do you drive a car?"
Zhang Chi became angry when he heard this, and told Lin Daiyu to sit still, and was about to push the door open. Lin Daiyu grabbed his wrist, shook his head and said: "Forget it, they are a bunch of scoundrels, don't bother with them."
Zhang Chi patted her hand: "Don't worry, I'm aware of it." He pushed open the car door and walked out. Lin Daiyu was worried that he couldn't hold back his anger, so she quickly chased after him.
The three of them looked at Lin Daiyu at the same time. After all, she was the one driving the car just now. The driver, who was wearing a black crew-neck shirt and a big gold chain, said, "Sister, how can you drive?"
Lin Daiyu first went around and grabbed Zhang Chi, then smiled and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm a newbie just starting out."
The other party laughed. Seeing how beautiful Lin Daiyu was, he couldn't bear to say bad words: "Newbie, how about I teach you, I'm an experienced driver!"
His two companions started laughing.
Lin Daiyu blushed, of course she knew what this guy was talking about.
"Brother, keep your mouth clean!" Immortal Zhang gave a friendly reminder.
The driver pulled down his sunglasses a little, looked at Zhang Chi and said, "Oh, I didn't pay attention. Who the hell didn't fasten his crotch and exposed you." The two companions beside him laughed even louder.
Lin Daiyu let go of Zhang Chi's arm. Not to mention Zhang Chi couldn't bear it, she couldn't bear it either.
The moment she let go of her arms, Zhang Daxian was like a tiger coming out of the gate. He rushed in front of the opponent, rounded his right arm, and slapped the guy in the face. The slap made the guy stagger back.
Behind the car, if there wasn't a car blocking me, I would have definitely fallen on my back. My sunglasses flew off and my face was swollen.
Relax and have a sense of proportion. It's fun to hit someone, but it will be troublesome if it causes harm. You must have a good sense of scale.
Here, the old driver was slapped away, and his two companions were stunned for a moment before rushing over. Before Zhang Chi could take action, Lin Daiyu went up to him with punches and kicks. The two guys couldn't help but beat the old driver, and one of them fell to the old driver.
Another one hit the Porsche door, and the door actually collapsed!
The old driver covered his face and got up, opened the car door to get the stick, and as soon as his hand reached into the door, Zhang Zhang kicked the door. The door squeezed the old driver's arm inside, causing him to scream in pain.
: "Let go... my fucking arm is broken..."
The dispute here quickly attracted the police. As soon as the police arrived, Xiao Li, who received Lin Daiyu's call, also arrived.
Xiao Li had just been transferred to the branch office, which was not far from here. Lin Daiyu had already explained the general details of the matter on the phone just now. She was really speechless. Zhang Chi would cause trouble as soon as he came back.
When he arrived at the scene, he didn't even take into account the surprising change. He first asked his colleagues to know that no harm had been caused.
He came to the old driver who was covering his arms and complaining with blood and tears: "You three grown men can't beat two students?"
The old driver said with a sad face: "They have practiced before! They are all masters."
Xiao Li said: "You know that someone has practiced and yet you take the initiative to make yourself uncomfortable. You deserve it!"
"Officer, what are you talking about? Do you believe I will file a complaint against you?"
Xiao Li nodded and said, "Trust me, but the monitoring is clear, so you guys don't take it for granted."
"They took away my car first. My car door was flat. Repairing imported cars is so expensive."
Xiao Li smiled and said to a colleague on the side: "Call a tow truck and have the car in front of you towed away."
The old driver was anxious: "What are you doing? Why are you towing my car? I have full-time four-wheel drive and cannot tow..."
Xiao Li said: "Why didn't you count when your car was being towed? Four-wheel drive Zotye, right? Was the car logo changed? Was it illegally painted? Has it been registered?"
"Well……"
Xiao Li said: "It's not a big deal in the first place. Why do we have to make a big fuss? Isn't it embarrassing for three grown men to bully two children?"
"Officer, why do I think you are a little biased?"
Xiao Li hooked his finger at him, and the old driver lowered his head. Xiao Li whispered: "Let me tell you clearly, your kind of civil dispute is an ordinary civil dispute. If you feel that our mediation is unfair, you can go to the court and file a lawsuit."
They, remember that license plate."
The old driver took a look and said, Yancc7777, this license plate number seems a bit awesome, eh, it seems that these two words should be removed.
Xiao Li said: "The owner on the driving license of this car is Lin Chaolong. He seems to be an entrepreneur from Beichen."
The old driver's expression was awkward. If you ask who the mayor of Beichen is, many people may not know it, but few people know that Lin Chaolong is famous.
Road rage kills people. I should think carefully when I see this license plate number. If I file a lawsuit with Lin Chaolong, am I not seeking death?
The old driver said: "How about we go private? You let them pay for some medical expenses and then repair the car for us."
Xiao Li nodded and went over to discuss it with Lin Daiyu. In fact, she didn't say anything. She walked around and came back and said to the old driver: "I don't agree with it. I said, or we can go our separate ways, or we can file a lawsuit."
, whatever the court sentences will be.”
The old driver gritted his teeth and said, "Officer, I'll give you face. I won't care about them like children."
A dispute was resolved in an instant, and Xiao Li was very good at handling such matters.
Lin Daiyu felt a little embarrassed because she had troubled Xiao Li: "I'm sorry, Sister Xiao Li, it's all my fault."
Immortal Zhang took the initiative to take responsibility and said: "Blame me, blame me."
Xiao Li smiled and said, "Okay, stop protecting her. She won't cause trouble unless she drives recklessly."
Lin Daiyu glared at Zhang Chi. In the final analysis, he was the one who caused the trouble. I'm driving well. Why are you touching my legs? You bastard. Something is wrong with the momentum recently. He's obviously getting into trouble. If you don't give him a warning, next time
Not sure where to touch it.
Xiao Li raised his head and looked at Zhang Chi. He didn't bother to look carefully just now. He didn't expect it to be so high.
Zhang Chi said with a playful smile: "Sister Li, you are getting more and more beautiful."
Xiao Li said: "More beautiful than Xiao Yu?"
Lin Daiyu revealed: "He always says this to everyone he meets."
Xiao Li couldn't talk to them too much because he was in uniform, so he made an appointment to meet at the door of the branch in an hour. He also told Lin Daiyu to be careful when driving and not to make the same fool of himself just now.
Although Lin Daiyu wanted to accompany Zhang Chi to meet Xiaowen, her father called and urged her to go home. The family was going to Phuket for vacation tonight, so they needed to prepare in advance.
Lin Daiyu didn't want to go and said a little depressed: "That's how they are. They don't discuss anything with me and don't respect me at all."
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "Come on, I don't think anyone can care about me. You are just being pampered. Go ahead and relax."
Lin Daiyu said meaningfully: "Are you eager to get rid of me?"
Zhang Daxian smiled and said: "Where are you thinking?" This guy stretched out his left hand and patted Lin Daiyu's right leg. It was natural and smooth. The car was parked and he was not afraid of Lin Daiyu's random directions.
When Lin Daiyu realized what she was doing, the guy had already taken his hand back, a bit addicted.
Lin Daiyu saw through this guy's ulterior motives and retaliated with sharp eyes. It would be best to make him feel ashamed, but after seeing the cheeky face of that playful smile, Lin Daiyu knew that her eyes had no harmful effect on him.
Zhang Chi said: "Call me when you come back, and we will go back to the capital together."
Nonsense, it's something that was already promised.
He opened the door and was about to get out of the car. Lin Daiyu stopped him and took out a box of stationery from her handbag: "Bring it to Xiaowen for me." She originally wanted to hand it to her in person.
Zhang Chi nodded, closed the car door, and then knocked on the car window again. Lin Daiyu lowered the window. The man hid his right hand in front of his chest and made a heart sign to her, as if he was a thief, and his fingertips were rustic.
Lin Daiyu suppressed her laughter, pretended not to see him, stepped on the accelerator and walked away.
Immortal Zhang shook his head and went back to get the gift he bought for Xiao Li before going to the branch.
Xiao Li drove her Polo out after get off work and saw Zhang Chi parked the car on the side of the road. Zhang Chi first opened the trunk and put the gift in.
Xiao Li said: "It's a blatant bribery!"
Zhang Chi closed the trunk and came to sit in the passenger seat. He smiled and said: "The snacks from Daoxiang Village and the pickles from Liubiju, take them back and give them to your uncle and aunt to try."
Xiao Li said: "No, my family doesn't lack this. You can bring it to Xiaowen later."
Zhang Chi shook his head, pointed to the front and said: "Sister Li, put me down when you pass KFC, and I will bring her a whole family of buckets."
Xiao Li secretly sighed, this kid still has a heart.
The two came to Xiaowen's current home, but before going up, Xiaoli contacted Qiu Dongqing in advance. Originally, Qiu Dongqing did not agree with their visit to Xiaowen, and Xiaoli had to talk to her to get through her ideological work, but she
There are conditions: give them half an hour and meet them in the community garden.
When Xiaowen heard that they were coming, she ran out of the house happily. After a while, she saw that the child had grown taller again, now 1.65 meters tall. She was almost a big girl.
Zhang Chi looked at the current Xiaowen and couldn't help but feel a little lucky. If he hadn't taken half of the bone-cleansing pill, Xiaowen would be as tall as him now.
Xiaowen called Miss Li and was a little afraid to recognize Zhangchi. In her memory, Zhangchi was still short and chubby in the past, but suddenly he turned into a big man. Xiaowen looked at him as if he was a stranger.
, became obviously more reserved.
Zhang Chi handed Lin Daiyu the stationery she had entrusted him to bring and said with a smile, "Xiaowen, don't you recognize me?"
Xiaowen was a little embarrassed: "I can't recognize you."
Xiao Li smiled and said: "Your brother Zhang Chi has grown taller and become more handsome!"
Xiaowen nodded: "But I still like the way you were in the past."
Zhang Daxian was speechless. Do you like me or not? How can I have any self-esteem if a little girl in her teens surpasses me in height? He smiled and said: "Then I will eat fatter next time I come here."
Then go to the hospital and have my leg amputated."
The three of them laughed together.
Xiaowen gave each of Zhang Chi and Xiao Li a painting she drew.
Although Qiu Dongqing gave them half an hour, they stood together and talked for a while, and it was obvious that the child was restrained.
Zhang Chi suddenly understood Qiu Dongqing's original intention of not letting them meet. The common link between them and Xiaowen was Zheng Qiushan. Their visit would only trigger Xiaowen's memories of the sad past. Although they had good intentions, they may not be able to achieve the desired effect.
Good results.
Including the family bucket she bought on the way, Zhang Chi left it in the car after some consideration before getting off the car. It was better for her to forget some memories.
After meeting for only ten minutes, Xiaowen took the initiative to say that she was going back to study. In fact, there really wasn't much to talk about between them.
Zhang Chi and Xiao Li watched Xiaowen leave and returned to the car. Xiao Li smelled the smell of roast chicken and turned around to look: "Have you forgotten?"
Zhang Chi nodded: "Forgot!"
Xiao Li bit her lip and said, "It's best to forget!"
Forgetting does not necessarily mean regret, and memories are not necessarily beautiful.
