Chapter 73
Chapter 73
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Ai Lan kept staring downstairs. After seeing the familiar little BMW and the people coming down, she greeted her parents in the living room, "Here we come."
Father Ai was very calm: "Go and open the door."
Ai Lan responded, and let people in when the doorbell rang, but she was not sure whether it was Cheng Mo or his twin brother who came.
The other party had a fruit basket in his left hand and a carton of milk in his right. He called "Lan Lan" like an eggplant in his mouth. If you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't know what he said. Ai Lan was sure that it was Cheng Mo who came.
"Come in, my parents are in the living room." Ai Lan turned to lead the way, and Cheng Mo followed her into the living room.
The house of Ai’s family is very big, with red sandalwood furniture, which looks like the filming location of Ming and Qing dramas. On the coffee table, there are purple sand pots and purple sand cups. The fragrance of tea is overflowing, which is quite like the hospitality of the ancients.I thought that Ai Lan, who looks and dresses like the heroine of Korean dramas, should also have a simple European style at home, but I didn't expect such a big contrast with the reality.
Ai Lan led Cheng Mo to her parents: "Dad, Mom, this is my boyfriend."
Cheng Mo squeezed out a smile and greeted politely: "Hello, uncle and aunt, my name is Cheng Mo."
Ai Mu wore a well-fitting cheongsam, and she didn't forget to straighten her hem when she got up, and went to entertain her in the footsteps of Mrs. Kuo: "You're exhausted after coming all this way, sit down and have a rest."
Cheng Mo put the gift in his hand next to the coffee table: "I don't know what to bring when we meet for the first time, please don't dislike my lack of manners."
"You are very attentive, it doesn't matter what you bring." Father Ai poured a cup of tea from the pot and pushed it to Cheng Mo, "Sit down."
Although she and Ai Lan are good buddies, she seldom mentions her family, and Cheng Mo doesn't want to inquire about other people's private affairs. It can be said that she doesn't know anything about her parents' personalities and hobbies, so she can only start with observation.Father Ai drinks tea and wears linen clothes. In Cheng Mo's impression, these people have a lot of money, pay attention to health preservation, like the so-called Chinese studies, and love to conquer others with high-spirited talk. The subtext is "I am not only rich, but also both internal and external. Come on, mortal."
In order not to be cold, Cheng Mo mobilized the memory area where he stored Chinese knowledge, prepared a few poems praising tea, and answered the conversation seamlessly at any time.
But who would have thought that this uncle didn't follow the routine, and the first sentence he threw out was: "How far have you two been dating?"
Um?How can a father ask such a sensitive question?Cheng Mo was stunned for three seconds, and decided to say lightly, "Uh, we are still students."
Ai's father took a sip of tea, Cheng Mo followed suit, and Ai's mother asked, "Then, have you ever opened a room?"
"Pfft!" A sip of old tea sprayed out half a meter, splashing on the face of Ai's father opposite, Cheng Mo immediately panicked, and took out a few pieces of paper from the tissue box to wipe his face: "I'm sorry, uncle!"
Instead of helping, Ai Lan laughed loudly: "Hahaha, please don't be so funny, we Chengzi are super shy!"
Mother Ai waved her hand at Cheng Mo: "It's okay, don't be nervous." She said, and helped her husband wipe his face, but Father Ai didn't react particularly angry: "Young man is quite confident, it's nice to be young."
Their attitude of not blaming made Cheng Mo feel even more ashamed: "I'm really sorry."
Ai Lan pulled Cheng Mo to sit down, while she sat on the armrest of his sofa, and put her arms around his shoulders by the way: "My parents are well-trained, and they don't show their anger on their faces."
"..." In normal times, Cheng Mo regards her and Yuan Mengmeng as buddies, and has no other ideas, but now it is different, the parents of the other party think that he and Ai Lan are lovers, and any small physical contact They seemed to be showing affection, Cheng Mo always felt a little sorry for Luo Ye.
"How long have you been together? Who chased whom?" Father Ai didn't seem to take the episode seriously at all, and asked the next question with great interest.
Cheng Mo didn't know what Ai Lan told her parents. If the two answers were different, they should reveal their secrets. He had to ask the "girlfriend" around him for help. Ai Lan understood, quietly took Cheng Mo's hand, and held him Two fingers, then pestle his palm.
Cheng Mo understood: "I am chasing Lan Lan, we have been together for two years."
Father Ai nodded, and Cheng Mo breathed a sigh of relief for a while, it seemed that he got the answer right.
Ai Mu said: "People in school often say that Lanlan is with a girl named Yuan Mengmeng, do you mind?"
Finally got to the right question, whether I answered well or not may determine the future happiness of the two of them, Cheng Mo cheered up: "The two of them lost their temper and lived in the same dormitory, and Lan Lan likes to dress in a neutral way. "He is still not used to pronouncing this nickname, "There are also some gossips among the students."
Emma smiled kindly, but gave off an invisible sense of oppression: "Then what do you think?"
Cheng Mo bit his lower lip subconsciously, but he suddenly realized that this little action would make his parents suspect that he was not dedicated, so he quickly squeezed Ai Lan's hand and interlocked his fingers with her: "I don't care, as long as I like her, that's enough." It's gone." He forced himself to imagine Ai Lan as Luo Ye, but he never said any love words to Luo Ye, but Luo Ye's guy talked all day long.
"Yes, love is enough, nothing else is important." Ai Lan shook his hand instead, but looked at her parents.
Father Ai: "I heard that you have some conflicts with the school leaders?"
"It's a long story." Cheng Mo succinctly talked about his grievances and grievances with Qin Lang and Professor Qin. Of course, he didn't mention anything about the messy things about Ouyang Han and Qin Lang.
After hearing this, Ai Mu complained for Cheng Mo: "Has Qin Lang been punished?"
Ai Lan: "With his dad covering him, how is it possible."
Father Ai was noncommittal: "If you were the principal, how would you deal with it?"
Cheng Mo thought that he would ask similar questions: "I'm not in that position to criticize badly, but I don't talk about Qin Lang's reasons, it's not right for me to beat someone, and it's not wrong to get punished."
For a moment, Cheng Mo didn't know if it was his own illusion, and a trace of surprise flashed in Ai's father's eyes.
"It's just a comment, authenticity aside."
It seems that he wants a result today, and Cheng Mo can't do without saying: "Qin Zhao came earlier than the principal, and has done a lot of practical things for the school. Without him, the Academy of Fine Arts might not be able to survive today. He has meritorious service and connections. Even if the headmaster thinks that Qin Zhaogong is _high_shock_lord, he won't dare to touch him easily."
Father Ai listened carefully, nodding in agreement from time to time: "It seems that you have some understanding of Qin Zhao's past."
Cheng Mo doesn't know how much information Ai's father has, he only knows that it is definitely not the best strategy: "It's just fur."
"That is to say, do you think Qin Zhao's actions are understandable?"
"It's understandable from the father's point of view, but it's a matter of character for him to use his position to turn black and white."
Father Ai thought about it for a while, got up and left without giving his own comment, making Cheng Mo confused, and looked at Ai Lan suspiciously, for fear that he might cause trouble for Ai Lan by saying something wrong.
Ai Lan seemed to be doing it on purpose, turned her face away, and went to fiddle with her mobile phone; Ai Mu refilled a cup of tea for Cheng Mo, and the two started chatting. What surprised him was that almost all of these problems had nothing to do with Ai Lan.
After a while, Cheng Mo's cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. He wanted to hang up directly. After all, it was not appropriate to answer other people's calls in front of the "mother-in-law". obey.
When the other party reported his family name, Cheng Mo couldn't believe it, it was the principal, the principal himself called? !Moreover, the central content of the call was to scold the dean, accusing him of overstepping his authority and issuing notices indiscriminately, and then he must criticize the education, and then said that the expulsion punishment needs to be considered, and the college needs to hold a meeting to discuss it before making a final decision.
The attitude turned 180 degrees, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that without the principal's consent, how can a director dismiss students casually, it's just throwing the blame.
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Mo was still guessing what caused the principal to change his mind. At this time, Ai's father walked back to the living room with square steps. Ai Lan looked at him and smiled straight: "You are too efficient."
Ai's father curled his lips, and his face was full of revenge for the pride of his arch-enemy: "Qin Zhao has done something wrong because of his contribution to the school. I think he has been unhappy for a long time."
Ai Mu covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "The principal can't afford to offend both sides, you are embarrassing him."
what's the situation?Seeing the three of them laughing, Cheng Mo became even more confused.
Ai Lan patted Cheng Mo on the head: "Idiot, I still can't see it, my dad helped you punish Qin Zhao."
"Huh? Uncle?"
"You only know that Qin Zhao is soliciting sponsorship everywhere to keep the Academy of Fine Arts alive, but you don't know that my dad is the one who invested the most money. If my dad withdraws the funding, at least half of the departments of the Academy of Fine Arts will not be able to operate normally."
Cheng Mo blinked his eyes and said in a daze, "I've never heard you mention it. What's going on?"
Ai Lan: "I don't want to add a bunch of snobby followers to myself."
Mother Ai: "Neither your uncle nor I object to Lanlan dating Mengmeng. I called you here suddenly because Lanlan wanted to help you out, but threatening a partner is risky. If you are a person who values affection, Uncle is willing to set this precedent."
Cheng Mo pondered over Wei Erlai slowly: "If I didn't come..."
Ai Lan: "I will not break up with Mengmeng either, but no one cares about your punishment."
No wonder that after the initial big _chi_ degree of cliché, the things the couple asked were all related to the school, and it turned out that they were all temptations.
Father Ai: "I am a man who will take revenge. You happen to have a grudge against the person I hate. I will help you this time, but I also want to warn you that in the future, you will be open and frank. If you are punished for misconduct, I will be the first to punish you." The headmaster let you go, do you hear me clearly?"
Cheng Mo sincerely thanked their family: "I see, thank you."
"You're welcome. If someone bullies Lanlan in the future, you have to be there whenever you are called." Father Ai walked up to Cheng Mo holding a cup of tea, took a big sip, and fixedly looked at him.
Cheng Mo didn't know what he was observing. In the next second, with a popping sound, the tea in his mouth sprayed Cheng Mo's face like a shower with the highest gear turned on.
"Hahaha, hahaha!" Father Ai looked at Cheng Mo who was blinded by the water, and couldn't straighten up laughing, "You scared me just now, we're even!"
Why is this person so childish!The contrast with the appearance is too big!Cheng Mo took the tissue from Ai Mu and wiped his face while cursing.
When he had had enough of laughing, the Ai family told Cheng Mo not to tell about today's affairs. Cheng Mo kept his promise and didn't even tell Luo Ye when he returned home.
