In the afterglow of the setting sun, a silver-gray BMW drove into the garage next to the courtyard gate.
Xu Tonglu, dressed in a suit, got out of the car.
After getting off the car, I strode into the yard and walked into the gate of the villa. As soon as I entered the door, I saw a family in the restaurant, except for the two children, eating.
Including his sister Ge Yuzhu, who he didn't see when he came back yesterday.
"Huh? Second brother, are you back? Didn't mom say that you are very busy recently and won't be back today?"
Ge Yuzhu's sharp eyes were the first to see Xu Tonglu.
Then came Xu Anan, who was riding a tricycle in the living room, "Second uncle!"
Xu Anan shouted happily, and quickly got out of the car, and with her short legs, she ran towards Xu Tonglu who had just entered the door. From a distance, she opened her arms, obviously wanting her uncle to hug her.
As soon as she got off the car, Xu Le, who had been circling around her, climbed onto the tricycle she was riding just now. He had wanted to ride it for a long time.
"Hey! An'an! Come on, let the second uncle hug you!"
Xu Tonglu first bent down and opened his hands, took his niece into his arms, then kissed her little face, got up and walked to the restaurant.
Mother Ge Xiaozhu, Wei Chunlan and others were also surprised.
Ge Xiaozhu: "Yes, Xiaolu, didn't you say you wouldn't be back in the next few days?"
Wei Chunlan watched and listened curiously.
Only Tongdao Xu was taking care of himself, picking up food and eating, and only glanced coldly at his younger brother who had just walked in.
"I didn't plan to come back at first. I've been really busy with work recently, so it was my eldest brother who called me! My eldest brother told me on the phone that I must come back and that he wanted to ask me anything."
Xu Tongdao held his niece in his arms and walked into the restaurant while talking. After he finished speaking, he laughed and complained: "Brother, what is going on? You can't say it on the phone. Do you have to come back?"
When he said this, the whole family turned to Xu Tongdao with curious eyes.
Tongdao Xu laughed lightly, and while continuing to eat, he asked lightly: "Don't you have anything to tell us today?"
Xu Tonglu blinked doubtfully and looked at the others.
Seeing everyone's expressions of confusion, Xu Tonglu also doubted for a moment whether his elder brother knew about him and Shen Tuqing getting the certificate?
But this idea only flashed in his mind for a moment, and then he dismissed it.
He thinks it's impossible!
He just got the certificate from Shen Tuqing at noon today. They went to Shazhou County to get it, and they didn't meet any acquaintances during the process.
No matter how well-informed the eldest brother is, it is impossible for him to know about this so quickly.
"What's the matter? Brother, why can't I understand? Brother, can you explain it more clearly?"
Xu Tonglu asked in confusion.
He also chuckled twice.
While talking, he also sat down at the dining table, still holding his niece in his arms.
Xu Tonglu stopped his chopsticks and turned to look at Xu Tonglu intently.
Just look at it.
After a while, Xu Tonglu felt very uncomfortable when he saw his elder brother looking at him like this without saying a word. He smiled and asked in a softer voice, "Brother, what is going on?"
Seeing that this guy was still pretending to be stupid, Tongdao Xu felt a little disappointed.
Because of my brother's concealment.
Also because of my brother's stupidity.
At this point, this kid actually thought that his elder brother didn't know that he had received the certificate and was still lucky...
Smiling slightly, Tong Xu said: "Who is the person who got the marriage certificate from you today? When are you going to officially get married? Also, why didn't you tell us about such a big thing like getting married? How long do you want to keep it a secret?"
"ah?"
"What?"
"Really or not? Second brother, you got a marriage certificate from someone else? You can't, right?"
"Second uncle, are you getting married?"
…
One stone stirs up thousands of waves.
When Xu Tonglu was stunned by the question, everyone at the table had already expressed surprise, including his niece Xu Anan, who was held in Xu Tonglu's arms.
Xu Anan, who is four years old, already knows what marriage is.
Xu Tonglu was really confused.
How did the elder brother know?
How could the elder brother know this so quickly?
How is this possible?
Could it be that the leaders of the Shazhou Civil Affairs Bureau went out of their way to inform the elder brother about such things in order to curry favor with the elder brother?
But...why did the leaders of the Shazhou County Civil Affairs Bureau do this? Does the Civil Affairs Bureau have a far-fetched relationship with Big Brother?
For a moment, Xu Tonglu felt as if his elder brother's wings and tentacles had enveloped the entire Shazhou County.
He has a big head.
If you really hide things like getting a marriage certificate, you won't have any worries for the time being.
The problem is that this matter was exposed so quickly. He was completely unprepared, let alone prepared his words in advance. How could he answer the family's questions in this short period of time?
…
About an hour later.
Yanhui Hotel, Tianyun City.
In Shen Tuqing's room, Shen Tuqing was listening to the work reports of two subordinates, and the door was open.
Suddenly there was a burst of messy footsteps outside the door. Xu Tonglu, who was over 1.9 meters tall, was heavy and his steps were heavy. Under the astonished eyes of Shen Tuqing and others, Xu Tonglu rushed into Shen Tuqing's room with a pale face.
At that time, Shen Tuqing frowned.
Her two subordinates subconsciously looked at Xu Tonglu and then at Shen Tuqing's expression.
They both felt that Xu Tonglu was very rash and courageous today, daring to break into Sister Qing's room.
"Xiao Xu! Don't you know how to knock on the door?"
In front of two subordinates, Shen Tuqing frowned and reprimanded.
Xu Tonglu was not in the mood to act with her at this time. He strode up to them and waved to his two colleagues with a stern face, "Brother Wang, Sister Huang, you go out first. I have something to report to Sister Qing alone. No."
Sorry!"
"this?"
The two colleagues had questions on their heads, but Xu Tonglu had already said so, and Shen Tuqing had no objection. For the sake of their colleagues, they had no choice but to get up and bid farewell to Shen Tuqing with full of doubts.
After they left, Xu Tonglu immediately ran over and closed the door.
Shen Tuqing, who was sitting on the wicker chair, frowned when she saw this, her expression was very hesitant, and she asked in a deep voice: "Why are you so angry? We just received the certificate today, and you are so presumptuous? Xu Tonglu! Have you forgotten?
Did you break our agreement? Do you still remember your current identity?"
Xu Tonglu took a deep breath, exhaled for a long time, walked back to the gloomy Shen Tuqing with a wry smile, sat down on the edge of the bed with a tired look, and said with a wry smile: "There is something wrong! I don't know what happened, my eldest brother
You already know about our marriage certificate. In the afternoon, do you still remember? On the way back to the provincial capital while we were driving, I suddenly received that call from my elder brother? "
Shen Tuqing's expression changed slightly, but she just frowned at Xu Tonglu and did not answer.
Xu Tonglu didn't wait for her to answer, "I never expected that my eldest brother would call me home and interrogate us about getting the certificate. You don't know. My whole family was there at the time. There were so many people. You just said a word
I can't stand it at all! Sister Qing, we can't hide this matter anymore, what do you think we should do?"
