Chapter 1132: Am I doing something for you?
Old Madam Gao also said, "Let Xiao Zheng carry it up. How can you lift such a big box by yourself?
You don't have to work hard anymore, there's a man at home."
Tang Jingyue felt warm and touched when she heard her mother-in-law's caring words.
After Gao Zheng went upstairs with his suitcase, he said to her, "Please pack first. I'll go talk to my sister and come up soon."
Tang Jingyue said, "Don't worry, tell me now."
"Yes, sir."
When Gao Zheng went downstairs, Gao Lan and his parents were sitting in the living room.
Old Lady Gao spoke first, "Xiao Zheng, please tell your sister where Xiao Bin went and when did he contact you?"
Gao Zheng glanced towards the kitchen.
Gao Lan understood, "Aunt Liu went to buy groceries."
Gao Zheng sat down and looked at his family members who were looking at him expectantly. He spoke seriously, "Dad, Mom, Sister, Xiaobin is in City C. He has found a reliable job. He doesn't have a phone number and his job is in a remote area, so it's inconvenient to contact him. He told me he was safe and asked everyone about it. I told him that I was traveling to get married and would visit him while I was there, and he agreed."
Although Gao Zheng's words were not sincere, Gao Lan and her parents' expressions did not ease.
After all, they didn't hear Ye Bin's voice, and their hearts were always hanging.
Gao Zheng continued, "As for why he didn't contact you, he might, mainly because he was afraid that he would miss home after hearing your voices and wouldn't be able to stick to it. He is very strong, and since he is out there, he wants to do something to make a name for himself."
Old Lady Gao listened to Gao Zheng's explanation and wiped away her tears, "He's been gone for so long, don't you know how worried we are about him?
How could this child be so cruel?
If you don’t want to come, then don’t come. At least give me a call.”
When Mrs. Gao started crying, the atmosphere became even more solemn. Gao Zheng tried to persuade her, "Mom, Xiaobin is a man. He has his own ideas. He was in the army before, and we didn't see each other for a long time. Don't worry."
“Can it be the same?
When he was in the army, he would call a few times a month, but now he has run away from home!"
Old Mrs. Gao kept crying and complaining, but Old Mr. Gao and Gao Lan said nothing.
Gao Zheng looked at his father and sister with serious expressions, unsure what they were thinking.
He said, "Don't worry, I will go see him this time."
Gao Zheng tried to comfort Gao Lan, "Sister, don't worry, he just can't get over the hurdle in his heart. Once he figures it out, he will come back."
Gao Lan was silent for a long time, then looked at Gao Zheng and said solemnly, "If you meet him this time, tell him that I will share any problems with him in the future, so that he won't have too much psychological pressure."
"Hey, I got it. When I see him, use my phone to call home."
After Gao Zheng's persuasion, the family finally felt less stressed.
They also look forward to meeting Ye Bin and contacting them when Gao Zheng travels to get married.
After dinner, Gao Lan went to her room to rest.
Old Master Gao sat on the sofa, looking at Gao Zheng, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
Gao Zheng noticed the old man's expression and asked with concern.
Mr. Gao did not answer him, but looked at Tang Jingyue and the old lady, "Jingyue, you and your mother should go and rest first."
Mrs. Gao looked at Mr. Gao in confusion and asked, "What about you?"
"I have some work to do, let me talk to Xiao Zheng."
Mr. Gao said.
Mrs. Gao couldn't understand it and scolded him, "You are not his boss. You are an old man who is retired at home. What can you talk about in your work?"
"I was talking to him about my subordinates. Do you want to ask about this too?"
When Mr. Gao yelled like that, Mrs. Gao was so scared that her eyes flickered. She could only say to her daughter-in-law, "Jingyue, ignore them. Let's rest first."
Mrs. Gao knew that although the old man was usually idle at home, he often cared about Gao Zheng's military affairs.
Those things were definitely not something a woman like her could listen to.
Tang Jingyue responded obediently, "Mom, Dad, I'll go up first."
"T."
After the old lady and Tang Jingyue went home, Mr. Gao didn't say anything, but just stared at his son with burning eyes.
Gao Zheng's scalp went numb when he saw his eyes. He pretended to be calm and sat opposite the old man. "Dad, tell me what you want to say. Why are you looking at me like that?"
Mr. Gao stared at him for a long time before he spoke slowly, "Did Xiaobin...go to do some work for you?"
When Gao Zheng heard this, a strange look flashed across his face.
There was still no ripple on his face. "Dad, why do you say that?"
The old man snorted, "Don't forget, you are my son!"
Gao Zheng, "!!!"
He lowered his eyes and responded.
"Did I guess right?"
Seeing that he was silent, Mr. Gao narrowed his eyes and asked again.
Gao Zheng lowered his head, not looking at him, and responded, "Yeah."
"Is there any danger?"
Mr. Gao asked with a tense look.
"It's safe."
Gao Zheng explained, "We didn't assign him to do this. He contacted me on his own initiative. I won't know the details of what happened until I meet him."
Mr. Gao looked serious, but his eyes showed his relief. "I knew my grandson was not a coward."
Gao Zheng reminded him, "Dad, this matter must be kept secret."
"You tell me?"
Mr. Gao raised his eyelids and spoke in a cold tone.
Gao Zheng smiled and said, "I know that the old comrades have a high level of awareness."
"I'm going to bed."
The stone that had been hanging for several months finally fell to the ground. Mr. Gao supported his knees with both hands and stood up, "You go out, be careful."
"knew."
Mr. Gao looked dignified, as if he was admonishing or warning, "Protect Tu Jingyue. What happened last time must not happen again."
Gao Zheng responded, "Dad, don't worry."
Mr. Gao glanced at him, said nothing, and turned back to the house.
Gao Zheng turned off the lights in the living room and went upstairs.
When he entered the bedroom, Tang Jingyue had already sorted out her things and was repacking them into the suitcase.
She saw Gao Zheng coming in and asked, "I packed some clothes. Do you have anything else to take?"
Gao Zheng looked at the suitcase and couldn't think of what to take. He shook his head, "It doesn't look like there's anything."
"Where's your razor, and... and your underwear and stuff? You can put it in there yourself."
She avoided looking at him and gave him instructions in a stiff tone.
"Reload it tomorrow. You'll need the razor every morning."
Gao Zheng closed the suitcase, picked it up and put it in the corner.
"Take a rest and prepare again tomorrow."
It's such a waste to spend such a wonderful night pretending to be lazy.
"Well, I woke up during the day and I'm not sleepy yet. You go to sleep and I'll read a book."
As Tang Jingyue spoke, she solemnly took down the novel that she had discussed with Gao Zheng earlier from the bookshelf, walked to the desk and sat down, intending to open it.
Gao Zheng stood beside her, watching her flipping through the book as if nothing had happened, and a few black lines appeared on his forehead.
