Chapter 230 You Are Only Suitable to Be Friends
As we were talking, my dad came out.
After not seeing him for just a few days, he seemed to have lost weight, and his spirits were low, as if he was worried about something.
When he saw Xu Zhengnan, he still smiled and greeted him, "Zhengnan, you're here."
"Uncle Li, I brought you some good tea, would you like to try it?" Xu Zhengnan saw that my father was in a bad mood and offered to drink tea with him.
My dad nodded and said, "Okay, let's play a game of chess together."
The two of them went to drink tea and play chess, while I was chatting with my mother. My mother said that my father did not find the student, so he locked himself in his room at home for a day and a night, and he had a lot more white hair.
I hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Mom, is my dad depressed?"
"How did you know?" My mother was very surprised.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I didn't answer her question, feeling a little distressed and guilty. "If anything happens to my dad, I will be the one with the greatest responsibility. Mom, I actually face the same problem as my dad, but after leaving Shen Yixiao, I feel much better. My dad also needs to untie his knot to get better, and we need to work together."
My mother's eyes turned slightly red, and she nodded, "I know."
If Xu Zhengnan wants to go to Country M, then I will go with him. I can only feel at ease by staying with him.
In the evening, my mother and I cooked a meal together and asked Xu Zhengnan to stay with us to eat.
Originally, my mother wanted to let him stay overnight at my house, but he had work to attend to, so he went back first.
After Xu Zhengnan left, my mother asked me, "Xiaoyue, are you and Zhengnan often together now? Is there... nothing else going on between you two?"
"Mom, we used to play together all the time when we were little, and it's the same when we grow up. I haven't seen each other for so many years, so we have a lot to talk about when we meet again after such a long separation. Moreover, he has helped me with many things. How could he help me if we haven't met or kept in touch?" I felt a little guilty, but still pretended to be calm.
My mother seemed to believe it, and she reminded me, "Xiaoyue, you two are not suitable now. It's good enough to be friends. Otherwise, I don't know how to explain to your Aunt Yang."
These few words made my heart sink to the bottom. I knew my mother was reminding me that it would be better for me to keep a distance from Xu Zhengnan now. We could be friends, but we should never go any further.
It’s not that she dislikes me as her daughter, but the facts are hard to change. Aunt Yang is a huge hurdle.
Aunt Yang must have told my mother many times that she wanted to have a grandson. After all, she only has Xu Zhengnan as her son, and now she has lost her husband. If she could have a little grandson around her, she would probably feel much more fulfilled.
"Mom, I know." I answered simply, not wanting to talk about this topic anymore.
During the two days I was at home, as soon as it got dark at night, someone would come to watch outside my house and make some noise from time to time, disturbing our family. After calling the police, two people were arrested, but it was of no avail. The other party would send new people over.
On the third day, I found that everything was quiet and no one came to harass us anymore.
The surveillance camera at the door had been smashed and could not be used, so I could only go to the gate to check the situation. There was nothing outside, unlike usual times when there would be a bunch of young people gathered there.
Just when I was wondering, Xu Zhengnan sent me a message: Will that group of people harass you again tonight?
Me: No, did you send someone over?
Xu Zhengnan: Well, it may not be convenient for me to come to your place these days, so I have found a few people to guard you. The leader is a professional bodyguard. You can contact him directly if you have any questions.
He then sent a mobile phone number.
I suddenly realized something and immediately dialed the phone, wanting to call Xu Zhengnan, but he hung up.
I replied anxiously: Did you go to Country M? How could you lie to me? I told you not to go!
After a few minutes, Xu Zhengnan replied to me: Well, you don’t have to worry about me, I will bring that person back, wait for me.
When I saw this message, I almost jumped up, and a bunch of bad thoughts flashed through my mind. If he was going on a trip, I believed he would be fine, as long as he took safety precautions. But he was going there to look for someone, especially someone who was already in danger, the risk was too great.
If my dad knew about this, he would be so worried.
"Why hasn't Zhengnan come over these days?" At this time, my father came over to ask me. He had been looking forward to Xu Zhengnan coming over these two days to play chess with him, maybe that would make him feel better.
I forced a smile and said, "I don't know, maybe he's busy."
"Oh, look, Xiaoyue, come here, play chess with me for a while." My dad suddenly asked me to play chess with him. I only know a little bit, having learned it from him when I was a child, so my dad rarely asked me to play chess.
But I still went to play chess with him. While playing chess, my dad talked about his academic fraud. He sighed, "Xiaoyue, is Shen Yixiao using this incident to force you to get a divorce? I've figured it out. A person's reputation is not that important. You still have to live comfortably. You don't have to worry about him telling everyone about my affairs. Just file for divorce directly."
"Dad, Shen Yixiao has lost his memory. He said he would give me the information and then sign the divorce. You don't have to worry." I felt that my father's attitude was a bit strange, and looked at him worriedly, "Dad, no matter what, the truth will always come out. I know you were soft-hearted at the time, and it's not your fault."
My dad smiled with relief, "Just trust me. To be honest, after all these years, I still dream about this incident, as well as the incident between you and Shen Yixiao. I made the wrong choices in both of these matters."
The more he talked, the more panicked I felt.
"Dad, don't say that. It's not your fault. In fact, Xu Zhengnan..." I wanted to tell him that Xu Zhengnan already knew the whereabouts of the student and had set out to look for him, but I was afraid that he would worry, so I couldn't say the words.
"I know Zhengnan is also helping me deal with this matter, but how can I have the nerve to keep bothering him? He has helped me a lot during these years when you ran away from home, Xiaoyue. I have always treated him as my own son. You can trust him. He will definitely not harm you." My father said very seriously.
This sounded like he was explaining his last wishes. I became flustered and added quickly, "Dad, Xu Zhengnan said he has found the whereabouts of your student and he has set out to look for him. Please wait a little longer and don't be anxious."
My dad was a little surprised, "Really? Where is Sheng Yihua? None of his family knows where he is now."
The student's name was Sheng Yihua.
