After 10 whole minutes, Sun Tongtong finally calmed down. She gently pushed Chen Yao away and sniffed, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Lifting his head slightly, he looked into Chen Yao's eyes and said in a low voice.
"I thought you'd never talk to me again."
Chen Yao looked at Sun Tongtong's red and swollen eyes, and helplessly shook his head.
"Sun Tongtong, you're underestimating me. Even though you chased me away at that time, and I felt that you were a little unreasonable and caused a bit of a ruckus, and did not want to bother with you, but you were still treated me as a good friend. In these few days, I understood that the reason you chased me away was actually because you were afraid that I would get into danger. Am I the kind of person who gives up on a friend when she's afraid of danger? "
Sun Tongtong looked at Chen Yao and said: "I want to treat you as my boyfriend, but will you give me the chance?"
"Me." Chen Yao was speechless. He looked somewhat panicked, "Stop joking. I've already proposed to Li Mengran. I can't let her down."
"Hahaha." Sun Tongtong's tears suddenly turned into laughter, he rubbed his eyes and patted Chen Yao's shoulder, and said: "Alright, since you know I'm joking, don't take it to heart."
Chen Yao was startled, could it be that Sun Tongtong's brain was being squeezed out by the door, causing him to cry and laugh at the same time?
Sun Tongtong said: Why don't we go together?
"Yes!"
The two of them rarely spoke, they only took a simple walk. With Sun Tongtong by his side, Chen Yao was unable to conduct an in-depth search of Villa Number 1's Jingxiu Pavilion, so after half an hour, Chen Yao and Sun Tongtong walked down the mountain.
However, it was not a bad harvest to get back on good terms with Sun Tongtong today. After Sun Tongtong entered Villa No. 9, Chen Yao also walked towards Villa Number Ten.
He did not realize that Sun Tongtong was standing behind the door and staring at him through the crack in the door.
"I know that you already have Li Mengran, so no matter how much I beg you, I can only give you more trouble. But Li Mengran can go and die for you, and I can also do the same.
"That's enough."
Just as Chen Yao returned to the villa, he saw Nan Wanqiu sitting on the sofa, crying.
"Xiao Qiu, what happened to you?"
Nan Wanqiu, who was crying, said to Chen Yao helplessly.
"Brother Chen, aunt and uncle will leave without a word"
He handed a letter to Chen Yao.
Chen Yao quickly took it, the words written on it were crooked, but he could recognize that it was written by Chen Zhiqiang.
A Yao, your mother and I are really not used to living in this big villa, I know that you are very filial, but your mother and I have planned everything out, we have come to the city to see how you are, and seeing that you are so promising, your mother and I can relax. With regards to the matter of you and the Li family's eldest miss, your mother and I agree.
Nan Wanqiu was afraid that Chen Yao would blame him and would not let him stay by his side, so she said those words while sobbing.
"Brother Chen, it's my fault. I woke up too late in the morning and didn't stop my aunt from leaving."
Chen Yao said in a soft voice.
Since you've decided to return to your hometown, even if you know about it, you can't stop them. How about this, you stay here, I'll go find my parents and send them back to their hometown. They might not be coming back in the next few days, so be careful.
Without waiting for Nan Wanqiu's reply, Chen Yao didn't even have time to change his clothes. He exited the villa and drove off.
When he woke up for his morning practice, he could still hear his father snoring. They shouldn't be able to walk very far in half an hour.
As expected, just as Chen Yao was driving the car down the mountain, he saw Chen Zhiqiang and his wife standing by the side of the road, waiting for him to drive.
"Dad, mom, how can you leave without saying goodbye?"
Chen Yao got off the car. He looked at his parents with a somewhat depressed expression.
Hao Xiuqing said.
"A Yao, don't keep us here, this villa is pretty good, but your father and I are not used to staying here. That bed is too soft, it would be better to stay on it.
Chen Zhiqiang also said.
"If I knew earlier, your mom and I wouldn't have come to the city, so I gave you trouble. Moreover, tomorrow is your grandpa's eightieth birthday, your second uncle rarely comes home, so your mom and I must go back."
Seeing that his parents had decided to leave, Chen Yao knew that he could not force himself to stay.
"Why should I want such a big villa? This was originally prepared for you two elders, if you really want to go home, you can talk it over with me, I'll send you two home, and blame myself for life if anything happens along the way. "
Hao Xiuqing said with a smile.
"How can I and your dad lose them? Your dad and I saw that you were very busy every day, so we didn't tell you because we were afraid that we would waste your time to send you off.
The corners of Chen Yao's eyes were moist. It seemed that he had really neglected his parents these past few days.
However, his parents were right, he really didn't have the time to take care of them right now. He had so many enemies in Jiangbei, when the time came, he could only involve his parents as well.
It would be better to send them back to their hometown and find a few people to protect their parents in the dark. That would be the right path.
Chen Yao took Hao Xiuqing's luggage, which was in Chen Zhiqiang's hands, and placed it on the carriage.
"Dad, mom, I've let you down. I'll definitely be a good servant to you in the future."
"It's fine for me to return home today, but I must send you off."
Chen Zhiqiang and Hao Xiuqing looked at each other, "Alright then, let's go home in my son's car and show off to the villagers."
The two of them finally got into the car.
As the car drove on, it headed towards Chen Yao's hometown, Qingxian's Chen Jia Village …
Within three hours, Chen Yao had driven out of the highway entrance and entered the Qingxian's County City.
Chen Yao parked his car in front of the largest department store in the area.
"Dad, mom, it's already past 10. Let's eat here and then buy some presents to go back to our grandpa for his 80th birthday. We can't possibly go back empty-handed, right?"
Chen Zhiqiang was satisfied, he replied: "En, consider that we did not raise this son of yours for nothing."
Hao Xiuqing hesitated and said: "Your Second Uncle had a car accident a while ago and just got discharged from the hospital. Why don't we go see him too?"
"Second Uncle?" Chen Yao slightly narrowed his eyes. In his childhood, the one who called him a bastard the most was his second aunt.
Twenty years ago, Chen Zhiqiang and his wife adopted Chen Yao.
It was also that year that Chen Zhiqiang's little brother, Chen Zhiwen, got accepted by the county's civil servant, and was even accepted by the county's electricity bureau chief, Zhou Jiu, as his son-in-law.
Chen Zhiwen treated his family pretty well, and would often secretly send his salary to Chen Zhiqiang. When he was young, Chen Yao really owed Chen Zhiwen money for his milk powder.
However, Chen Zhiwen's wife, who was also Chen Yao's second aunt, Zhou Li, felt that Chen Zhiqiang's family was just a country bumpkin, they simply did not allow him to return to his hometown.
When Chen Yao was still in high school, Zhou Li's son Chen Liang and daughter Chen Yan often bullied Chen Yao, constantly scolding him as a bastard. Once, when Chen Zhiwen went to school to give Chen Liang a meeting of his parents, Chen Yao, where he secretly gave Chen Yao a hundred yuan, Zhou Li nearly divorced Chen Zhiwen.
How could Chen Yao forget all this?
"Whew."
Chen Yao took a deep breath.
"Even if Second Aunt is very hateful, Second Uncle treats us very well. One yard is one yard. Since Second Uncle is injured, we should still go and take a look. Coincidentally, I also want to meet this fierce Second Aunt."
