I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 415 Mother Wei’s objection

 She did not suffer any hardship.

 It seems that the young man in the front passenger seat took good care of his sister.

 Thinking about it, the hostility in Wei Lin's heart dissipated a little.

 “How is your health now, brother?”

Wei Lan's voice brought Wei Lin back from his thoughts. He smiled softly and said, "Everything is fine. I don't go to the hospital very much anymore."

 But my foundation is still poor. I spent a day outside two days ago and came home with a slight cold and fever. I have been coughing continuously for the past two days.

The brother and sister in the back seat had a warm and heart-warming conversation.

  In comparison, the atmosphere between the two equally powerful men in front was as cold as the arctic.

 Wei Xueliang: “How old are you this year?”

Gu Chao: "It will be twenty-one in April soon."

Wei Xueliang nodded and said in a calm tone, "Well, our Lan Lan just turned eighteen last month."

Wei Xueliang: Young man, do you know what it means? My girl is in her prime, you are an old man.

 Gu Chao:…

The atmosphere was gloomy for a moment, and Wei Xueliang said again: "Lan Lan wrote to me before and said some things. Was it for you?"

Wei Lan let out a "tsk", "Dad! Why are you talking about this issue now? Even if..."

"Yes." Gu Chao nodded, intending for Wei Lan to speak. He lowered his eyes and rubbed his palms, saying without any secret: "I have a cousin at home who is living a hard life. I gave him the evaluation document."

Wei Xueliang's tone suddenly became cold.

Seemingly suppressing his anger, he turned the steering wheel a little harder, causing the car to sway. With a "thud", Wei Lan's head hit the car door, and she gasped in pain.

“Dad—!” Wei Lan pouted, dragging out her voice angrily, “You still said that!”

Wei Xueliang glanced in the rear mirror and saw that the little girl's face was wrinkled, showing the same dissatisfaction look as Wei's mother.

He started to protect me before he said anything.

 Little heartless.

　　It is true that as his wife said, no one is left behind when it comes to women.

　　The words that reached his lips were swallowed back. Wei Xueliang felt as if his breath was blocked in his chest, not going up or down, and it was a little sour and unpleasant.

 Wei Xueliang sighed silently and said no more.

 The car swayed all the way to the Wei family's two-story small foreign-style building.

Wei Lan was the first to get out of the car. Gu Chao and Wei Lin opened the trunk to get their luggage, and she stood aside and waited.

 The temperature was very low in the early morning, and under the dim street lights, the breath turned into white mist.

"Are you nervous?" Wei Lan approached Gu Chao and asked in a low voice, "If my father asks about some sensitive topic that is difficult to answer, you don't have to answer."

Gu Chao looked at Wei Xueliang calmly out of the corner of his eye and leaned toward Wei Lan, "It doesn't matter."

Wei Lan is the golden child of the Wei family. Everything they ask is for Wei Lan's benefit, and he can understand it.

Wei Lan was still about to say something, but she suddenly straightened up while looking at her side.

"Tsk...what are you doing standing there?" Wei Xueliang turned around and saw that there was less than half a step between his girl and the boy named Gu. His brows suddenly furrowed, "It's cold outside, you go inside first."

Wei Lan glanced at Gu Chao worriedly, and Wei Xueliang glared, "People named Wei, especially the old ones, don't eat people. Get in!"

Wei Lan shrank her neck and had no choice but to wear a windbreaker and enter the house first.

Wei’s mother made soup early in the morning. Pork was hard to buy during the New Year, so the ones she bought were wrapped in dumplings. This soup was a pair of pig’s feet that we had to wait in line all morning to grab yesterday.

It has been simmering for several hours. Now it is bubbling on the stove and filling the house with fragrance.

The two men went out to pick up someone, but Wei's mother didn't fall asleep either. She sat in the living room with her clothes and a quilt, waiting.

I heard the sound of a car outside the house. I guessed that someone was back. I pulled my loose hair twice and was about to go out to pick it up. As soon as I got up, I saw a big green shadow coming in.

Wei's mother was startled, thinking it was a thief, and almost beat him out without a broom. After taking a closer look, she realized it was her girl.

"Oh...oh, dear girl." Wei's mother paused, then her eyes turned red when she realized the reaction. She pulled Wei Lan into a hug and shook her from side to side, "I've lost weight! I've lost weight! Are you hungry? Sit down. Have you been sleepy all day? Look at your little hands getting cold, hurry up, hurry up! Mom will get you a quilt to cover it up!"

Wei Lan was stunned for a moment and let Wei's mother pull her to sit down on the sofa.

Wei's mother was at a loss to cover her with a quilt and pour water. Wei Lan felt warm in her heart and leaned forward to give Wei's mother a bear hug, "Mom, I miss you."

"You are such a ghost girl..." Mother Wei smiled through her tears, poking Wei Lan's head, her eyes full of love and concern, "If you really miss your mother, we won't go when she comes back this time."

 Not going?

 That won’t work.

Wei Lan sat up straight, squeamish and angry, and told Wei Mu everything about what happened in the car just now, "Mom, tell me, Dad, don't keep asking those thorny questions, which make people feel uncomfortable."

"The composition is not a trivial matter. If there is still a composition problem, don't try to convince me about it." Mother Wei's expression became serious, "Reflecting and parading on the street are not fun. You grew up with the support of your family. I and I How could your father let you suffer that?"

Wei Lan was silent for a moment and frowned, "But it's said in the quotation that everyone is equal. Gu Chao's family is a reformed (reformed) child, and it has been reformed long ago! I have been in H Province for so long and lived in his house I didn’t see anything happen.”

The red soldiers came to make trouble, just once.

"Mom! We are a military family. Our ideas and concepts should follow the leaders on the front line. We should not treat others in the same old way." Wei Lan hummed and pursed her lips like a baby, "Let's talk about it. Yes, it was written in the newspaper that in the past the leader’s family was still a rich peasant.”

Although he could understand Wei's mother's concerns, Wei Lan still felt a little unfair for Gu Chao.

Wei Lan was eloquent and eloquent, but Wei's mother couldn't talk to her, so she had to change her words, "I can't make the decision on this matter, so you and your father have to deal with it. There is nothing to eat in the car, are you hungry? Mom will get you some soup."

After Wei's mother finished speaking, she left, leaving Wei Lan behind, stretching her neck, "Hey, hey, Mom!"

Hey...it's true.

 Tut.

 Wei Lan is a little worried.

On the other side, Wei Lin and Gu Chao got out of the car and saluted. Wei Xueliang parked the car and returned with the keys in hand. Passing by, Gu Chao turned his head and asked as if he had accidentally asked, "You must be exhausted after a day's train ride, right?"

 Gu Chao shook his head slightly, "No."

"No?" Wei Xueliang raised his brows sharply and said with a smile, "It's fine if it's not, it's fine if it's not."

After saying that, he turned around and walked ahead, "Let's go into the house."

Wei Lin helped share the two boxes. When he saw his father walking away and entering the house, he pursed his lips and glanced at Gu Chao sympathetically, "You should tell the truth."

 Gu Chao:?

Gu Chao felt that it was really okay.

 Not too tired, just a little tired.

Seeing the confused look on Gu Chao's face, Wei Lin shook his head and sighed, "Go into the room later and talk to Lan Lan and ask her to talk to you." Gu Chao:...?

Although he couldn't figure out what Wei Lin wanted to express, Gu Chao was silent and politely thanked him, "Okay, thank you...brother?"

Wei Lin was stunned for a moment, then suppressed a laugh and said, "Okay, let's go into the house."

 Gu Chao turned twenty-one in April, and Wei Lin turned twenty only in the middle of August.

 This voice is not bad.

Gu Chao entered the room. Wei Lan had already changed into warm cotton slippers and sat at the table to eat.

Seeing him come in, Wei Lan stood up and took out a pair of new cotton slippers from the shoe rack. Wei Lin had already put them on. Judging from the size, they should be those of her father Wei Xueliang.

He squatted down and put the slippers at Gu Chao's feet, "Brother Chao, wear these, they are my dad's slippers. They are warm."

 Wei Xueliang sitting on the sofa:?

 So you still know, those are my slippers?

 “Cough.” Wei Xueliang coughed slightly, and Gu Chao looked over.

Wei Lan followed and looked over, "Dad, do you want to wear them? I think the cotton boots you are wearing should be warmer than slippers."

“Yes, yes.” Wei Xueliang nodded and smiled at Gu Chao, “Put on what Lan Lan gave you to keep warm.”

 Although he was smiling, his voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

After Gu Chao returned the shoes, Wei Lan pushed him to sit down at the table, then turned and walked to the kitchen to help Wei's mother serve soup.

Mother Wei scolded her, "What's the use of you? Go out and sit down, the dumplings need to be cooked for a while."

Wei Lan was driven back to the living room, where she sat at the table and drank soup, not forgetting to wink at Gu Chao.

Gu Chao laughed and was about to speak when he subconsciously glanced over at the sofa from the corner of his eye. Two pairs of eyes of the Wei family father and son were staring at them.

Gu Chao was speechless for a while, then suppressed his words again.

Not long after, Wei's mother came out of the kitchen with a tray. She first saw the Wei family father and son sitting on the sofa, "What are you two doing sitting there? Come over and eat something together."

Gu Chao stood up and said, "Hello, Auntie."

Mother Wei then turned her attention to Gu Chao, smiled politely, and waved her hand, "Okay, little Gu, sit down, sit down first, don't be polite when you come to play at home, just treat it as your own home."

Just then Gu Chao sat down, and Wei Xueliang and Wei Lin also sat over. The round table was full.

There were four bowls of soup on Wei's mother's tray. She didn't want to eat it herself. Wei Lan already had one, and everyone else on the table had a bowl, plus an extra bowl.

Mother Wei looked at Wei Xueliang blankly, "Where is Xiao Yan? He hasn't come in yet?"

Gu Chao tightened his hands and looked sideways at Wei Lan.

 The atmosphere is a bit awkward.

Wei Lan hurriedly said: "Mom, Yanyi is busy with work, so he asked me to bring things to the house, and said he would come back next time when he has time."

Yanyi sent a letter to the Wei family years ago, saying that he and Wei Lan would come back for a visit during the New Year.

Just now Wei Lan and the others entered the house, but Wei's mother didn't see Yanyi. She thought Wei Xueliang had sent someone to park the car somewhere far away, but she didn't expect that the person didn't come.

"This kid... doesn't stop doing anything during the New Year? He is alone in Province H, and he goes back at night to cool off the pot and stove... ugh..."

Mother Wei sighed, secretly sighing that this was nothing.

Wei Lan didn't know about Yanyi's letter to her family. Wei's mother kept mumbling for a while, and she also fell silent.

 Before I returned to my hometown before I changed jobs, I was accompanied by a group of comrades in the army, and it was not lonely. Now that I have returned to my hometown, I have no family, and the stove at home was given to technician Ji.

State-owned hotels were closed during the Spring Festival. When taking the train before, Wei Lan didn't pay attention to see if the hotel was open. If it hadn't been, Yanyi probably wouldn't even have eaten.

 Thinking about it this way, it seems a bit pitiful.

Wei Lan lowered his head and said nothing. The atmosphere on the table was strange.

Wei Lin helped to break the immersion, "Mom, the important guest today is Gu Chao. Why do you keep mentioning Yanyi? If you don't really have something to do, Yanyi has to do with the relationship between the family and the family."

Mother Wei thought the same thing, nodded and smiled at Gu Chao: "Let Xiao Gu laugh, eat first, eat!"

The dumplings on the table are stuffed with pork and cabbage. During the Chinese New Year, the Wei family bought four kilograms of meat, chopped more than half of it into six plates of dumplings, and cut the rest into thin slices for Wei Xueliang to eat with wine.

 Half of the six plates of dumplings were also destroyed. The ones we ate today were reserved by Wei’s mother early in the morning.

Although Mother Wei had a grudge against Gu Chao, she was not a mean and difficult person and could not do anything to make things difficult for others.

After serving dumplings to everyone at the table, Mother Wei went to the kitchen to boil hot water, then went back to the room to look for clean towels, ready to be used if Gu Chao didn't bring them.

Wei Xueliang and Wei Lin were immersed in eating dumplings. Gu Chao took a sip of pig's trotter soup, lowered his big hand, and gently poked Wei Lan's waist under the table.

 Wei Lan trembled, and after realizing it, she secretly raised her head and glanced at Wei Xueliang, then took out her hand and lightly scratched Gu Chao's palm under the table.

Just like a child making small movements in class, Wei Lan pursed her lips and twisted her body in a happy mood. Wei Xueliang raised his head and said, "Eat well."

Gu Chao retracted his hand, and Wei Lan was startled, hesitantly nodded, and sipped the soup in small sips.

Wei Xueliang glared at the young man opposite who was drinking soup calmly.

Wei Xueliang: The little little calf is really not a good bird. He dares to do small tricks in front of me. I play bad tricks in front of me. Can't I see it?

Feeling indignant, Wei Xueliang saw from the corner of his eye his eldest son who was sick and smiling. Wei Xueliang had bulging veins on his forehead.

This is not a good bird either.

Wei Xueliang smiled in a gentle tone, "Alin, how are you going to deal with Song Qi's matter?"

Hearing Song Qi's name, Wei Lan raised her head and looked at Wei Lin with doubts.

Wei Lin choked and didn't understand why the spearhead was suddenly pointed at him.

When Wei Xueliang saw that he was silent, he turned sullen and said, "Platoon Leader Song and I have been friends for a long time, and I watched Song Qi grow up. If you don't like it, tell me tonight, and I will go and give it to you tomorrow." Make it clear to avoid hurting the peace between the two families in the end."

Wei Lin:...This, this is truly an unforeseen disaster. Dad, you don’t care if that man named Gu wants to steal your daughter. Why are you tormenting your son and future daughter-in-law?

Wei Lan thought that Wei Lin didn't like Song Qi, so she didn't explain it clearly to anyone, so she also supported her, "Brother, what's going on with you? Please tell me clearly. What do you think you want to tell your family?"

In this day and age, there are countless people who get married upon meeting each other. Wei Lin and Song Qi have grown up together. If Wei Lin doesn't like Song Qi at all, it is unlikely that he will have one in the future.

 In this way, two people can only live a makeshift life together and will not be happy at all.

Wei Lan felt that if this was the case, she really didn't want Wei Lin and Song Qi to be together.

 Wei Lin's complexion was sickly and cold, and his face turned red very brightly. He was forced by his father and sister to have no choice but to tell the truth, "I like it."

Wei Lan frowned, "Really?"

Wei Lin nodded and touched the back of his neck in embarrassment, "We just confirmed the meeting two days ago. I told Song Qi that I would ask my parents to come to settle the matter after the new year. I was busy all the time and didn't have a chance to talk. .”
