78 Chapter 78

◎The moonlight is beautiful tonight◎

Jiangcheng, as the city is named, has a big river that runs across the entire city.

The construction near the river is very well planned. Along the river, one side is a bustling commercial street, while the other side is built with ancient buildings with carved beams and painted columns. At night, the lights come on, giving a different kind of prosperity. After dinner , many people come for a walk.

The soil and water support a person, and most people in Jiangcheng have a gentle personality.

We played like this until night, when Chen's mother called and said she could come back for dinner.

Earlier, Chen's mother said that her uncle He Songwen would come over to have dinner with her in the evening. When she returned, He Songwen had already arrived.

"Shen Lie." Chen Jing'an introduced the two to each other, "My uncle, He Songwen."

"Hello."

"Hello."

The two parties shook hands politely.

He Songwen looked familiar to Shen Lie and couldn't help but take a second look. He frowned when he remembered that his surname was Shen.

"Let's eat." Mother Chen said.

He Songwen worked in the municipal government outside, and was exposed to all kinds of people every day. He had already developed a good eloquence. During the meal, he played the role of enlivening the atmosphere as usual, talking back and forth with Shen Lie, and the others spoke appropriately. After a few words and a meal, the atmosphere became more relaxed than during the day.

After eating and sitting for a while, He Songwen was about to leave, so he just asked Chen Jing'an to see him off alone.

He Songwen wanted to smoke, but he caught a glimpse of his niece, holding it in her mouth without lighting it, and asked: "Do you know what he does?"

He asked his sister and brother-in-law, but neither of them knew very well. They only knew that it was business. No question was asked about the scale, and they didn't care about it.

"I know." Chen Jing'an understood what he was asking.

My uncle probably knew.

"Can't you remember that time when there was a problem with the project, I went to the capital to find someone?" He Songwen asked.

"Well, uncle, I'm sorry." Chen Jing'an remembered that time, when her uncle suffered an unintentional disaster entirely because of her.

"What's there to be sorry for?" He Songwen didn't know what she was apologizing for. "That time I tried to find a lot of people but couldn't get anything done. I went around in circles and someone pointed me out a way to find Mr. Shen. Later, It was only after your teacher came forward that I met the person. "

"Someone else helped me, and the matter was resolved. I thought it was such a great favor, so I couldn't say thank you. I went there several times and the things I gave him were confiscated. , and only had one meal. It was also at that time that I saw Shen Lie, and the man who helped me called him "Brother."

Although it was just a quick glance, his appearance and aloof temperament made him remember it for a long time. .

Chen Jing'an thought that person should be Shen Jin.

He Songwen looked at Chen Jing'an's dazed look and said, "What I have said is that this kind of person is too far away for us."

He sighed. As an elder, he had to pour cold water on us: "Our family He's just a commoner. He's a little rich at best, but he can't compare with the Shen family. I'm really worried that you'll suffer in the future, and my uncle won't be able to help you. "

" I know."

Chen Jing'an raised his head and smiled. Next: "Uncle, I know you are doing it for my own good."

The two of them had already come out of the building, and the car was parked not far away. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the car roof was shining brightly.

"Rationally speaking, this question shouldn't be done like this. When you're in love, it's just two people who are in love with each other, but if you want to go down, there are too many things involved. From a secular sense, we are not suitable. I thought about getting out in time. , I have done this before, but uncle, I find it really difficult to do this."

There was water in her eyes, hiding the cold glow of the moonlight: "So this time I want to try, follow my inner instinct, and have a good talk. "It's a love."

"It doesn't matter if the result is not good?" He Songwen thought, the Shen family would never nod so easily.

"If you can't, it doesn't matter."

Chen Jing'an smiled: "The future is always uncertain, isn't it? Even...even if the result is really unsatisfactory, I can both take it and let it go."

He Songwen held it in his hand Holding the cigarette, he still held the cigarette butt anxiously at first, but gradually he became less anxious: "You're right, you always have your own ideas. As long as you think clearly, my uncle will support you."

"But I feel that you want to Talk to your dad, I think he is not mentally ready yet."

Before leaving, He Songwen suddenly mentioned that after all, Father Chen was silent most of the time at the dinner table tonight.

After sending He Songwen away and Chen Jing'an going back, Chen's mother was the only one left in the family.

"It's your dad who asked Xiao Shen to go out for a drink together." Mother Chen cleared the dining table, "You also know that your dad is a person who spoils you like a little princess. Now that the little princess has a boyfriend, he doesn't accept it very well. We'll probably have some chatting tonight."

"It won't be anything." Chen Jing'an was stunned for a moment.

"We won't start a fight." Mother Chen thought for a while and said.

Chen Jing'an couldn't help laughing, and without asking any more questions, she went over to clean up with Chen's mother.

After cleaning up, she sent a message to Shen Lie and asked when he would come back, but he didn't reply, so she had to watch TV with Chen's mother.

It wasn't until about eleven o'clock that Chen's father called and Chen's mother answered the call. A strange man's voice came over there, saying that he was drunk and asked to pick him up.

The mother and daughter looked at each other, then changed their clothes and went out.

-

As soon as Chen Jing'an and He Songwen left, Shen Lie and Chen's father each occupied a sofa. When the air solidified, Chen's father stood up and asked if he wanted to go out for a drink.

"Now?" Shen Lie asked.

Father Chen nodded: "It's better to go out and have some fun."

"Okay."

Shen Lie probably knew that Father Chen had something to say, and drinking was just a cover.

When he went out, Chen's father didn't look at him and said, "I can drink pretty well. I don't know if you can drink. If you can't, you can make it clear first."

"You can drink a little." Shen Lie didn't know how good Chen's father was. , so he replied conservatively.

"Okay, that's good."

When Father Chen said this, he seemed to be squeezing it out from between his teeth, with a ruthless desire to take revenge.

Then when we went to the store, Father Chen asked for liquor, and he ordered two bottles first.

Shen Lie thought he had a good amount of wine. After drinking two bottles easily, he drank two more bottles. Instead of now, just after half of one bottle, Chen's father was already drunk, hugging the bottle and staring at him.

"I don't like you." Father Chen expressed directly.

Shen Lie smiled: "I don't like myself very much."

"It's not a good thing for a man to be too good-looking, I'm serious." Father Chen drank another glass of wine, "But there's nothing I can do about it, my daughter likes you. I can only take a closer look to see if it’s not just good-looking, but what makes her like it so much.”

“…”

Shen Lie also drank with Father Chen.

The liquor has a high alcohol content and when it enters the throat, it feels as if it is burning.

Chen's father was indeed drunk and began to tell him about Chen Jing'an's childhood. Chen Jing'an had been very well-behaved since she was a child. They had a lot of classes at that time, and when no one could spare time to take care of her, they could only leave her at home. She was only a few years old at that time, and she was very worry-free at home without crying or making trouble. She was very sensible and never worried them about her studies and work...

"I knew she would have her own home sooner or later, just like her I can't control the growth of a big girl in the blink of an eye, but I didn't expect that this day would come so fast. She is the girl I have held in my hands and cared for since childhood. Who are you? You just appeared out of nowhere, just... Are you polite if you want to take her away?"

"To you, she may be a good-looking and good-natured southern girl, but do you know that here, she is full of heart and blood..."

"..."

Chen My father was so drunk that what he said next became increasingly unclear.

"Uncle."

Shen Lie changed the wine into water and handed it over: "I'm sorry."

He said that Chen Jing'an was not just a southern girl with him... He talked a lot, and he probably started to feel drunk, and there was a heat wave in his chest. Overwhelming, he even thought of a ridiculous image, in which he cut his chest open and spread the sides with his hands, so that he would have nothing to hold back.

With a bang, Father Chen fell down on the table.

Shen Lie was still drinking one glass after another and emptied all the remaining wine.

When Chen Jing'an and Chen's mother came to the address given by the store, Chen's father fell asleep on the table. Shen Lie sat upright and looked over as if nothing happened.

Mother Chen laughed angrily: "I don't know how much I can drink, but I still had the nerve to tell me that I wanted to make people drunk and talk to them. Now it's better. Others didn't get drunk, and I was so drunk."

"..."

Shen Lie was actually so drunk . Also drunk.

Chen Jing'an approached, he held her hand, and asked them warmly why they were here, and they looked harmless. She could tell when she smelled the heavy smell of alcohol on his body.

"I'm taking you back."

"Uncle is drunk," Shen Lie said.

"Well, he doesn't drink well," Chen Jing'an said.

Hearing this, Shen Lie laughed and said, "Uncle said he has a pretty good drinking capacity."

It was a bit teasing.

"He's bragging. He doesn't drink alcohol usually, even during the New Year and the holidays." Chen Jing'an felt a little uncomfortable. For her, her father drank like this.

"I have a good drinking capacity." He raised his eyebrows, somewhat showing off.

Chen Jing'an laughed silently.

Father Chen was so drunk that it was difficult to stand up for a while.

Chen Jing'an said that he would take a taxi first, and his parents would come out after the taxi was ready.

Mother Chen also thinks this is feasible.

Shen Lie stood up.

Chen Jing'an asked him, "You should wait too."

"I'm fine."

Shen Lie indeed seemed fine. There was nothing abnormal except that he was too gentle and harmless.

The two of them walked out to the roadside. He was a little unsteady at the moment, using her as a support, and the aura around him was enveloped.

Shen Lie asked her what she told her uncle.

Chen Jing'an pursed her lips and smiled: "Uncle said you might be a bad man and asked me to be careful."

"Maybe you were a little bad before."

"Is it just a little bit?" Chen Jing'an asked, not wanting to mention the bad things he did before.

"Oh, that's very bad." Shen Lie corrected.

"Yes." Chen Jing'an was satisfied.

"It's better now, and it will be better in the future."

He came over and saw for the first time what a normal family is like. Family members understand each other and care about each other. They know what they eat and like. Chen Jing'an grew up in love. Girl, as Father Chen said, if you want to take it from him, you must at least have reciprocal love, otherwise why not.

Shen Lie hugged her, but the car hadn't arrived yet.

Chen Jing'an asked: "What did my dad tell you?"

"A lot."

Shen Lie said: "He loves you very much and is worried that you will get hurt."

Chen Jing'an couldn't help but be moved. The love she had received from her parents since she was a child There were so many that it often even shocked her.

"Perhaps everyone thinks that you will be hurt in this relationship. In fact, it is me... who worries about gains and losses, and even thinks about what I should do if you don't love me. You don't want anything. If you don't want me, what can I get? Keep you. No, I only have me."

He doesn't have a normal family, he is even rejected by his biological father, and his material things are not worth mentioning in her eyes.

"I've been dumped by you once."

"Chen Jing'an, you can't dump me a second time."

"I can't...I can't bear it."

"..."

Shen Lie was really drunk. The words came like gibbering, and he hugged her tightly.

Chen Jing'an listened to his drunken words with warmth in her eyes. She looked up and saw that the sky was so high without any dark clouds.

Taking a long breath from her chest, she said, "Shen Lie, the moonlight is beautiful tonight."

The wind was also gentle.
