Chapter 435: Chapter 435: Is it Gui Touzai?Ning Ge saw Cao Guigen coming in and hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand, standing up somewhat awkwardly, while also casting a desperate glance at Cao Xiaojuan for help.
Cao Xiaojuan just smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, look, these are gifts that Ge Ling specifically bought to show his respect for you."
She pointed to the gifts laid out on the table.
Cao Guigen glanced over and said indifferently, "Whatās the use of buying these? Country folks donāt care for such things."
Cao Xiaojuanās face turned red as she looked towards Ning Ge, who was now frowning. Having spent some days together, she knew he was somewhat displeased. She also felt a bit upset with her own father. Considering his goodwill, saying such things could really discourage someone.
"Itās all Ge Lingās kind thought. Itās the first time our daughter has brought someone back home, canāt you say something nice?" Auntie Cao tugged at Cao Guigenās sleeve.
Cao Guigen didnāt make a sound.
At first, Ning Ge was indifferent, but now he seemed even more uneasy than before, afraid that the otherās parents wouldnāt like him, stealing glances at Cao Xiaojuan now and then.
Seeing her boyfriend like this made Cao Xiaojuanās heart ache tremendously.
"Sit down. Weāve been toiling in the fields all our lives, we donāt know how to speak properly, donāt take it to heart," Cao Guigenās expression suddenly softened.
A guy who only knew how to look to his girl for rescue probably wasnāt much capable of anything.
"So youāre dressed like a city person?" Cao Guigen asked again.
Ning Ge was somewhat proud as he said, "Yes, Iām from Rong City."
"Rong City, thatās not close to here. How did you come to know our Juanjuan?" Cao Guigen asked again, seemingly casually.
Ning Ge didnāt speak.
"Dad, weāve traveled a long way to come here. Letās let Ge Ling rest for a while," Cao Xiaojuan hurriedly said.
"Right, what are you doing interrogating him like a criminal?" Auntie Cao also said, "Juanjuan, take him to your room to rest for a bit."
Cao Xiaojuan quickly nodded and led Ning Ge away. Once they were out of the house, Ning Ge said, "I think your dad doesnāt like me much. I think we should just break it off. Iāve been spoiled since I was young, never tried to please anyone."
"My dad is just like that, but he means well. Please, for my sake, bear with it," Cao Xiaojuan said urgently.
Ning Ge snorted twice, following her into another flat-roofed house, which was Cao Xiaojuanās room.
After settling him in, Cao Xiaojuan returned to speak with her parents in the main room, not seeing that Ning Ge had opened his eyes as soon as she turned around.
"Whatās the matter? Youāre bringing someone home out of the blue, what if something happens?" Upon seeing Cao Xiaojuan again, Cao Guigenās demeanor had changed, his brows, which only reached the middle of his forehead, knitting into a fierce scowl.
"Exactly, what if you brought back a Gui Touzai!" Auntie Cao also lit up a cigarette and asked, "How did you meet him?"
"At the place where I finish work, there were some hooligans bothering me, and he saved me. Later on, we bumped into each other a few times. He learned where I worked and often came by; thatās how we got to know each other," Cao Xiaojuan explained nonchalantly, "Mom, Dad, if he is Gui Touzai, Iāll shave my head and let him sit on it. Heās just a spoiled tyrant who canāt amount to anything serious."
"And youāre still with him?"
"Thatās why I can manage him because heās so naive and foolish," she retorted.
"What about the proper business? Your two younger brothers arenāt settled yet!" Auntie Caoās face darkened as she said, "If he found out, what would you do?"
"Mom, Dad, Iām twenty-five already, how long should I wait? Itās always about my brothers, canāt you think about me for once? The business, I donāt want to do it anymore!" Cao Xiaojuan said with resentment. Should she sacrifice her happiness for her two foolish brothers and live her life as a female bandit?
"Whoās there!" Cao Guigen suddenly shouted out loud.
