Chapter 585: It's time to come
Gao Zhan looked at the two people singing in unison and sighed silently in his heart.
In fact, he is not very good at lying, and his somewhat overly serious and upright personality is enough to prove this point.
The last time I found Shen Ci, I did think about lying, but in the end, I agreed with Shen Ci to be a real couple for one day, so it wasn't actually a lie that day.
Now he had to lie for real.
"Dad, Aci is still in college. It's a bit too early for me to bring her home now." Gao Zhan deliberately used Shen Ci's identity as a college student to prevaricate.
Gao's father didn't buy it at all: "You brought it to your great-grandfather's birthday party, so why can't you take it home?"
"Others may not understand you, but how can I not understand you? Since you have decided to take her back, you must have set your sights on this girl. That's why your Aunt Bai and I take her so seriously."
"I brought it to my great grandfather because I thought he'd always be thinking about it as he got older, and I wanted to cheer him up. Besides, you guys kept urging me to bring it back." Gao Zhan said helplessly, "I really have to work. You guys should go back first."
Gao Zhan picked up the folder and pretended to go check the ward.
"You should take a rest. Ward rounds are for the morning. What kind of ward rounds are you doing in the middle of the day? Don't forget that your dad is also a doctor." Father Gao raised his hand and pushed Gao Zhan back to the chair.
He knew the doctor's daily work arrangements better than Gao Zhan, and it was obvious that his son wanted to find an excuse to get rid of them.
Father Gao, not a slow-witted man after all, looked at his son with some suspicion. "Your Aunt Bai and I are so enthusiastic and proactive. Isn't this a good thing for you two as a couple? What are you doing here making excuses? Are you trying to fool me with a fake girlfriend?"
When these words came out, Gao Zhan couldn't help but be shocked.
Aunt Bai, however, took over the conversation directly: "No, Gao Zhan's personality wouldn't allow him to do such a ridiculous thing."
"That's right..." Father Gao murmured and nodded, then looked at Gao Zhan impatiently and asked, "Then what's wrong with you?"
Gao Zhan was startled just now, but his father had convinced himself the next time, so he could only continue, "It's really Ah Ci who's been busy lately. Why would I lie to you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the office door.
Several people turned around at the same time, because Gao Zhan was not the attending physician today, but a resident physician in the inpatient office, responsible for the mothers and patients in the obstetrics and gynecology inpatient department.
So usually the people knocking on the door are nurses or patients' family members.
Gao Zhan subconsciously said, "Please come in."
As the door opened, the Shen Ci sisters appeared at the door.
Chen Ci's face was originally filled with a bright smile, but when she opened the door, the first people she saw were Gao Zhan's father and Aunt Bai, and then she saw Gao Zhan sitting on the chair through the gap between their bodies.
The smile froze: "Uncle and aunt?"
She subconsciously greeted him, and Gao Zhan's face, which had been impatient because of dealing with his father, was obviously glowing with joy when he saw Shen Ci appear.
"Ah Ci!"
Aunt Bai excitedly said, "Come in, you've come at the perfect time."
Father Gao also responded cheerfully: "Yes, we were just chatting about when to let Gao Zhan take you home for dinner."
Shen Ci walked into the office instinctively, and subconsciously glanced at Gao Zhan, and saw Gao Zhan looking at her with a speechless expression and shaking his head slightly.
It was as if they had a tacit understanding with each other. Shen Ci understood Gao Zhan's meaning with just this subtle expression. He was telling her that she could refuse.
Chen Li, who was standing by, was still confused at first, until she entered the house and then she fixed her eyes on Gao Zhan.
She understood at a glance that her sister was still her sister and still liked handsome guys.
Before Shen Ci could speak, Aunt Bai smiled warmly and asked, "Gao Zhan said you've been busy lately. Aren't you a junior in college? You can't be so busy that you don't even have time to go home for a meal, right?"
"Are you busy writing your graduation thesis? Or preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam? You can't be busy sending out resumes, right?"
"What kind of job do you want to find? You can tell your Uncle Gao, and he can help you!"
When Gao's father heard this, he nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Gao does have some social connections."
The speed at which this topic progressed was beyond Chen Ci's imagination. It was obvious that Father Gao and Aunt Bai had set their sights on this "daughter-in-law", otherwise why would they take on such a big responsibility as finding a job for her?
However, this is the fact. In Gao's father's heart, based on his understanding of his son Gao Zhan, the girlfriend Gao Zhan brings home must be the one he has chosen, and as a father he must fully support her.
After all, my son has never brought his girlfriend home in all these years.
That's why Shen Ci seems so special and is valued by the whole family.
Shen Ci was a little flattered. Gao Zhan was afraid that Shen Ci would not be able to explain herself when she encountered such an unexpected situation. He was about to stand up to help her smooth things over, but Shen Ci suddenly thought and blurted out, "Uncle and aunt, you are thinking too far ahead. I haven't written a thesis, nor am I preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, let alone looking for a job."
"But I've been really busy lately. The National University Olympiad is coming up soon. I'm a member of the school team, and I'm spending my extra time solving problems every day."
There just happened to be a ready-made excuse.
"The Olympiad?" Gao's father's eyes lit up when he heard it. "Oh, being able to join the school team and participate in the Olympiad shows that you are very smart. Uncle also participated in it when he was in school."
As he spoke, he did not forget to point at Gao Zhan: "Gao Zhan too, Gao Zhan even won a gold medal."
"Dad, it's a silver medal." Gao Zhan corrected.
Father Gao said indifferently: "It's all the same."
Seeing this, Shen Ci couldn't help but smile: "The school attaches great importance to this competition, so our school team is charging more intensely this time, and there is really no time."
"I just happened to bring my sister to the hospital for a checkup today, and I had time to come see Gao Zhan. I didn't expect to run into my uncle and aunt by chance, so I'll just treat it as seeing each other again!"
"We'll have another chance to have dinner at your house in the future. There's still a long way to go."
She handled the emergency in a calm and gentle manner, and Gao Zhan's expression softened unconsciously as he watched.
Since Shen Ci said so, Gao's father naturally couldn't force it any further. He was also happy to see his son's girlfriend again, so he nodded happily: "That's fine, after you finish the competition, you must come home with Gao Zhan."
Shen Ci smiled and agreed: "Okay uncle."
Aunt Bai focused her attention on Chen Li: "Is this your sister? Your biological sister?"
Seeing this, Chen Li quickly and politely called out, "Hello, uncle and aunt."
"Hey? You look familiar to me." Aunt Bai also likes to watch dramas on weekdays. Looking at Chen Li without makeup, she always feels a little familiar: "I have seen you before?"
