Chapter 97 [Meet the old man] (Part 2)
Chapter 97 [Meet the father-in-law] (Part 2)
There was deep affection, embarrassment, and a little melancholy in the air. In such an atmosphere, the two of us hugged each other gently and sat there for a long time.
Suddenly, a doorbell sound came from outside. I immediately sat up, and Qiao Qiao jumped off my lap, looking at the time with some confusion: "It may be that Yan Di is back."
Both of us saw a hint of complexity in each other's eyes, and Qiao Qiao quickly grabbed me: "Don't tell her, don't be impulsive. Don't tell her now, let's have more time, and maybe we can come up with a good idea."
I was sighing in my heart. What good idea could I come up with? This was just that the two of us were escaping.
I forced a smile at her, then walked to the door and looked at it with the electronic monitoring lens at the door...
However, after just taking a look, my face changed suddenly. I rubbed my eyes hard and confirmed that I was not wrong...
In the camera, just outside our villa, there was a middle-aged man with a medium figure. From the perspective of the monitoring camera, it can still be seen that the outline of his face is very prominent and handsome. He is wearing a dark suit and holding his hands behind him, and he has a somewhat free and detached temperament.
Behind him were two followers.
I saw the appearance of this middle-aged man, then turned around, looked at Qiao Qiao sitting on the sofa, swallowed hard and spitted: "Jo Qiao, you'd better come and see. This person... seems to be...well, I've only seen him once, and I'm worried if I remembered it wrong."
"Well, isn't Yan Di back?" Qiao Qiao shrugged her shoulders. She seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. She walked over but didn't notice that my face was even more awkward and ugly.
Sure enough, Qiao Qiao came to me and just looked at the monitoring camera, and her face changed! I saw Qiao Qiao's face and finally confirmed the doubts in my heart. I smiled bitterly: "This person... seems to be your father, right?"
"oh!!shit!!" Qiao Qiao screamed. Then she ran away from me like a rabbit and hid up the stairs along the stairs.
With a shock in my heart, I tried to use a steady voice to ask the person outside to wait through the intercom, and then opened the door outside. Then I saw the middle-aged man say something to the follower beside me, and he walked in alone.
Half a minute later, I opened the door and saw the guest standing outside the door.
That's right, this time I saw it more clearly than in the monitoring camera. My handsome and mature faces, crow's feet at the corners of my eyes, were full of wisdom, and the sky was full. The corners of my mouth seemed to be smiling, with a bit of a hidden momentum... It was exactly where I once met in China, Qiao Qiao's father!!
Seeing my face full of surprise, Qiao Qiao's father looked calm. He gently pulled the corner of his mouth: "Oh, Chen Yang, we're meeting again."
I realized this and quickly moved away: "Mr. Qiao...you, well, hello, please come in quickly."
Facing my nervous and surprised expression, Qiao Qiao's father smiled slightly and walked in from me.
And I was in a mess!
Well, first of all, I am indeed surprised by Qiao Qiao's sudden arrival... How could he come here? And more... I feel more guilty!! This is normal. If it were any man, you just "involved" his daughter, and then immediately saw the other girl's father. If you were not nervous, you would be devilish!!
Qiao Qiao's father spoke very strongly and steadily. He walked in and glanced at me: "You must be surprised when you come rashly."
I quickly laughed and asked him to come in and sit down.
Qiao Qiao's father didn't say much, and came in directly, glanced around, sat upright on the sofa, and then looked at me sitting opposite me: "Do you know what I want?"
"I..." I was speechless. To be honest, I hadn't recovered yet. I immediately stood up with a concealment, and rushed over with a cup of tea, then sat down again, and handed it over with the cigarette on the table.
"No, thank you, I've quit for many years." Qiao Qiao's father shook his head slowly, then a smile on his lips: "It's a great place, I mean your house."
"Well...thank you." I answered vaguely.
"Where is Qiao Qiao? Are you upstairs?" Qiao Qiao's father smiled slightly, and he took a teacup and took a sip: "I suddenly appeared here. She must have been so scared that she hid upstairs."
"This..." I was a little embarrassed, I don't know what to say... I wanted to deny it, but what is Qiao Qiao's father's identity? People have come to the door, so they must have figured out the situation and confirmed that Qiao Qiao is here only.
"I know my own daughter." Qiao Qiao's father was very calm. He didn't seem to be in a hurry to see Qiao Qiao, but looked at me with deep meaning: "Chen Yang... Well, Chen Yang, this is the second time we met. I remember when we were in China, we met at the airport. At that time, you were still Qiao Qiao's good friend."
I felt nervous... What did I mean "at that time" and was still Qiao Qiao's good friend? Could it be that Qiao Qiao's father already knew that I was not Qiao Qiao's friend "now"?
"Oh." Qiao Qiao's father waved his hand. He was very calm, not fake or polite: "Jo Qiao had previously broken up with the people in our family because he refused a engagement that I arranged for her. I searched for her for a long time but didn't find her. I even sent someone to Europe for a few laps, Milan, Paris, Antwerp, and Prague. These places that Jo Qiao used to like to travel, and later sent someone to North Africa and checked in Cairo, Egypt for a while, but there was no news." He smiled bitterly: "I only got the news not long ago that she was in Canada. I thought she wouldn't come to Canada anywhere she ran. Because the engagement she refused was Li Wenjing... Well, you should know Li Wenjing too. I thought Li Wenjing was in Canada, so no matter how much Qiao Qiao ran, she wouldn't come to Canada. But I didn't expect that I guessed wrong."
I didn't say anything.
Qiao Qiao's father squinted his eyes and looked at me for a while, then said, "Jo Qiao came here for you, right?"
"Cough, cough cough..." I quickly coughed a few times, not knowing how to answer.
"Look, I'm a very failed father." Qiao Qiao's father looked at me and sighed: "My daughter ran away, but I couldn't find it. It was two days ago, when I was on the phone with that young man Li Wenjing, I accidentally learned that Qiao Qiao had met him in Las Vegas. Moreover, I also knew that she has been with you for a while."
His hand tapped on the table twice, looking at me with a deep meaning: "Chen Yang, well, I thought you were just a friend of Qiao Qiao. I didn't expect that you would actually come to Canada. Moreover, before I came, I checked it... What surprised me was that you are not an ordinary person here."
"You are polite." I finally found the opportunity to speak vaguely.
"You're not polite, definitely not polite." He smiled calmly, but I felt a little sharp look in his smile, looking at me, and said, "Vancouver's current creator of underground order, hey! Young man, you are much more capable than I imagined."
After saying that, he stood up and looked around: "This house is good, it was you who bought it... Well, the environment is really good."
Then he smiled and said, "Well, Qiao Qiao hid upstairs just now, right?"
I had to nod... I came to the door after I even found out my identity. I must have come with a certainty! If I deny it again, it would be unwise.
He pointed to the corridor and door leading to the back of the house in the hall: "Well, that direction is the sea, right? Is there a yard behind? Let's take me to visit, don't mind."
Where could I say no? I could only stand up quickly and lead him out through the back door.
Behind it was the swimming pool. But as soon as I walked out, Qiao Qiao's father stood behind me. He didn't seem to be visiting, so he grabbed me directly, then patted me, raised his hand and pointed it up, signaling me to look up...
I saw that Qiao Qiao had already turned it out on the windowsill on the second floor, holding the railing outside the house with both hands, and moving down gently little by little...
"Look, I still understand my own daughter." Qiao Qiao's father narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said loudly: "Jo Qiao, come down, I'll see you."
I saw Qiao Qiao moving little by little with her butt sticking out, and when she heard her father's shout, her body trembled. I was startled, afraid that she would have run over long ago and continued below.
Qiao Qiao was helpless, looked down at me, jumped, jumped into my arms, and got down.
She was not even half as good as Miss Qiao's former witch, she was dejected, as if she had been plucked away from her hair. Her eyes rolled a few times, then she deliberately made a smile and ran to her father's side, holding her father's arm with a cute and silly look: "Wow! Dad, you are so awesome! I guess you will definitely find me! Sure enough, I can't escape from your palms wherever I run! It's so amazing!"
Qiao Qiao's father was not angry at all and smiled faintly: "Stand up."
When Qiao Qiao heard this, her body trembled and quickly let go of his hand and stood up straight, but she was still a little aggrieved: "You are inside, how did you know I would run through the window outside?"
"Hey!" Qiao Qiao's father laughed: "First, I know you are here with Chen Yang now. Then, I know you like to live in a house facing the sea. Third, I just saw it. There is only one staircase going up and downstairs in this house. Fourth... I know that my baby daughter will want to escape when she sees her. Fifth... Have you jumped into the window less often?"
