Chapter 256 Facing the Storm
"Xiaoyue, what's going on? Didn't I tell you--" After my mother reacted, she was extremely anxious. She wanted to say something but stopped halfway through.
She had hinted to me before that Xu Zhengnan and I could continue to be good friends, but we were not suitable to be together. Aunt Yang really wanted to have a grandchild, and I was divorced, so these became the gap between Xu Zhengnan and me.
But she didn't tell me directly, thinking I would understand.
"Auntie, I really love Zhengnan. For the sake of my poor child, can you give me another chance?" Jiang Xinyu seized the opportunity and began to plead with Aunt Yang again.
She knew very well that if she wanted Xu Zhengnan to come back, Aunt Yang was a very important point.
Dealing with Aunt Yang will get twice the result with half the effort.
Aunt Yang was not in the mood to care about these things right now. She sighed deeply and looked at me with disappointment and reluctance in her eyes. My heart was beating fast.
Xu Zhengnan held my hand, exerting a little force, as if to encourage me secretly. He said that as long as I agreed to be with him, he would withstand any pressure from home.
The premise is that I don't back down.
He was indeed foresighted. I had already backed off from confessing our relationship. If Jiang Xinyu hadn't told me about our relationship, I don't know when I would have mustered up the courage.
"Zhengnan, you can't mess around with this kind of thing. You deal with Miss Jiang's matter first. I'll take Xiaoyue back." My mother grabbed my hand, said these words, and then took me away.
As for what will happen to the Xu family next, I don’t know.
After returning home, my mother's complexion didn't return to normal for a long time. She looked at me and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself several times.
Finally, I spoke first, "Mom, if you have any questions, just tell me and I will tell you everything."
My mother then asked, "Are you really together with Zhengnan? When did it happen? Why didn't you tell your family?"
I answered them one by one.
After hearing my answer, my mother's eyes were red. She wanted to scold me, but was afraid that it would cause trouble. After all, I had experienced something like this a long time ago. At that time, my father scolded me and forced me to break up with Shen Yixiao. The result was that I got carried away and eloped with the household registration page.
"Xiaoyue...you and Zhengnan are not suitable." My mother sighed deeply.
"Mom, I know the stupid things I did in the past made you think I'm not worthy of him, but we want to give it a try." I held my mother's hand and said pleadingly, "Give me a chance, okay?"
My mother wiped her eyes and said, "Xiaoyue, how could I think you are not worthy of Zhengnan? You are my daughter, and you are the best in my heart. I am just worried that your aunt Yang and other people in the Xu family will not agree. You will have to face so many strange eyes and bear a lot of pressure."
"And I'm worried that if you don't end up together, my relationship with your Aunt Yang will probably end here."
I felt uncomfortable with what my mother said, because I had imagined all the possibilities she mentioned.
I was silent for a moment, then replied, "Mom, I am willing to take these risks and responsibilities. I promised Xu Zhengnan that I would not back down."
My mother's brows never relaxed. "Wait until your father comes back. He may not be able to accept it."
If I hadn't met Shen Yixiao, my parents would have approved of Xu Zhengnan and I being together, and Aunt Yang wouldn't have objected and would have even been happy, but everything changed.
If my father knew that Xu Zhengnan and I were together now, I wonder if he would be furious. He already treats Xu Zhengnan as half a son and regards him as important from the bottom of his heart.
Thinking of my father's attitude, I felt uneasy.
In the evening, my dad came back and picked up Li Qingming. When he saw me, he showed a rare look of joy, "Xiaoyue, you're back. Did Zhengnan come back with you?"
"Yeah, he's back too." I didn't dare look my father in the eye and turned my head away.
The joy on my father's face became more obvious. He had been worried that Xu Zhengnan was in danger in Country M. Now that we are back together, it means that everyone is safe.
Li Qingming ran over and held my hand, saying, "Sister, I played a very interesting game in kindergarten. Come play with me!"
"Okay." I pretended to be calm, squatted down and pinched Li Qingming's little face.
Then Li Qingming and I played games together, my mother went to cook, and my father made tea in the living room. Everything was so peaceful and beautiful.
But I know this is just the calm before the storm.
My cell phone rang. It was a message from Xu Zhengnan: Are you okay?
I quickly responded: I'm fine, I'm going to tell my dad about our situation.
Xu Zhengnan: Let me say it.
My father has always liked Xu Zhengnan and is willing to listen to Xu Zhengnan's advice on many things.
If it were Xu Zhengnan, I probably wouldn't have to face such a strong storm, as he would have absorbed most of the pressure in the first place.
Me: Let me say, you are responsible for your family and I am responsible for mine.
I refused Xu Zhengnan's help. Since the arrow was on the string and had to be shot, I would shoot it myself.
Thinking of this, I let Li Qingming play by himself for a while, and I got up and went to my dad. He handed me a cup of tea and asked me to drink it with him.
You can see that he is in a really good mood.
"Dad, there's something I want to tell you." I took a sip of tea. It was a little hot, and I couldn't taste anything because I was so worried.
My dad asked, "What's the matter? Tell me."
"It's about Xu Zhengnan." I answered step by step.
"What's wrong with Zhengnan? Didn't you say he's back? It's good that he's back. I'll ask him to come over and play chess with me later. I have to thank him very much for worrying about me. I've been thinking about what I can give him as a thank you. You are young like him, so please think about it for me." My father mentioned the matter of thanking Xu Zhengnan.
I squeezed my hands, forced myself to muster up the courage, and looked my father straight in the eyes.
After a moment of silence, I continued, "Dad, Xu Zhengnan and I are together."
“What?!” My father’s face changed instantly when he heard this. He is a teacher and usually looks very stern when he changes his expression. I always feel a little scared.
He stood up suddenly and said, "Tell me clearly, you are together, how are you together?"
My mother came out of the kitchen, put the dishes away, and hurried over. Li Qingming also walked over cautiously, looking worried that we would quarrel.
I took a deep breath and looked at my dad firmly, "We are lovers together, Dad, I know you won't agree, but I don't want to give up."
My father was obviously getting agitated, but instead of scolding me as I expected, he gritted his teeth and held back his anger.
