Chapter 38 The Astonishing Truth
When Chen Cong returned home, he found that his parents were not sleeping yet. The two were sitting on the sofa watching TV. When they saw that they entered the door, their faces were filled with joy.
Chen Cong realized at first glance that this joy had not been seen for a long time. Although there was a smile at home, the atmosphere tonight seemed extremely strange.
"Good boy, I'm worthy of being my son." Dad Chen Guoyong stood up directly, walked over with a smile and took Chen Cong's schoolbag, and his mother also sat on the sofa with a smile on her face and watched.
Along the way, Chen Cong was thinking about Qiu Xiaopang joining the army, but his mind was full of pictures of holding hands with Gu Keyi. As soon as he entered the house, he saw that the atmosphere was wrong. Chen Cong thought to himself, was it because his parents saw him holding hands with Gu Keyi on the road?
"Dad, don't get me wrong. That girl and I are just ordinary friends." Chen Cong hurriedly explained. Although Gu Keyi has already listed her as her future girlfriend, she has no gaze of this matter, which will make her parents happy for nothing.
Sure enough, as soon as the words were spoken, Chen Guoyong and Zhang Hui's smiles froze, their eyes full of confusion.
Chen Cong thought it was not good, so he quickly puffed up his chest, patted his hand a few times before saying, "Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will chase her sooner or later."
Chen Guoyong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows up, and changed his strange smile and said, "Are you still dating a female classmate?"
"Uh... weren't you talking about this?" Chen Cong was a little stunned.
"Good boy, you are a typical thief. Your mother and I received a call from your teacher Su in the afternoon, saying that you were admitted to the third place in the entire grade. We are only happy until now. We plan to wait for you to come back to praise you, but..." Chen Guoyong said this, and looked at Chen Cong meaningfully, and gave Chen Cong a thumbs up.
Chen Cong's mouth twitched, I'll go, now it's a big deal and accidentally betrayed himself.
"Haha, yes, I was just kidding you two old people just now. Don't be so serious. I really have no sense of humor. Then... I'll go back to the room first..." Chen Cong haha, lowered his head and wanted to run back to his room.
"Boy, it's useless to finish this trick in front of my dad. Sit on the sofa, be honest and lenient, and resist strictness." Chen Guoyong grabbed Chen Cong, put his arm on his head and walked towards the hall.
"Come on, I'll interrogate your mother. If I'm not honest, I'll interrogate it." Chen Guoyong also sat on the sofa opposite.
Since Zhang Hui received a call from Su Jingran in the afternoon, she has been in a good mood until now. When she heard that her son seemed to be pursuing a girl, she was a little worried that it would affect her studies, but thinking about it, her son is also sensible now, otherwise she would not have worked hard for so long and got back to the third place in the grade.
"What's the name of that girl? How are you? Are you in the same class?" Zhang Hui suddenly had three questions.
Seeing that Chen Cong could no longer hide, and this was something that he could not tell his parents. After all, he knew that his parents were quite open-minded, so he finally replied honestly: "She is Gu Keyi, of course she is like her mother, gentle and kind, but she and I are in class next door, and she is in Class 1."
"Gu Keyi? Her surname is Gu?" Zhang Hui suddenly became a little surprised, with a strange look on her face, as if she was trapped in memories.
Chen Cong was a little surprised to see this. Is it okay if the surname Gu? He looked at his father again and found that he was also frowning, with a solemn look on his face, as if he was also recalling something.
No way? Is it the same as the bloody plot of TV series, Gu Keyi is my biological sister? Or sister?
Chen Cong hurriedly shook his head, threw away those outrageous thoughts, looked at his mother and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"
"Cong, where is this girl from?" Zhang Hui ignored Chen Cong's doubts and continued to ask.
"I heard from Wang Zhong that he used to be from Beijing, but later he came here with his parents. What's wrong?"
"Beijing...Old Chen, this..." Zhang Hui looked at Chen Guoyong, but couldn't speak for a long time.
Chen Cong looked at his father who was thinking about something again. He was really anxious now and asked, "Dad, what's going on? Could it be..."
"Don't think about it all, it's nothing, but this girl's family in the capital has something to do with you - your mother's family."
"What? Are you talking about grandparents' home? But you never told me about grandparents. Why is it suddenly related to Gu Keyi?" Chen Cong's heartbeat very quickly. He felt that his parents seemed to have hidden a secret.
"Old Chen, tell your son." Seeing Chen Guoyong's hesitation look, Zhang Hui finally decided to let him tell Chen Cong.
Chen Guoyong nodded and looked at Chen Cong. His expression suddenly became serious. Chen Cong had seen his father's expression from childhood to adulthood. He could basically count the number of times he saw his father's expression with one hand, and he had this expression when he caused a big disaster.
"Cong, this matter is actually no big deal. I didn't tell you before that I didn't want you to be related to the people over there." Chen Guoyong said this, suddenly pulled Zhang Hui's hand and put it in his hand, and continued: "Actually, your mother was born in a big family. In today's words, your mother used to be a white and beautiful woman, while I was a poor student. Your mother and I were a college classmate. After we dated together, our mother was strongly opposed by your mother's family, that is, after the Zhang family found out, they strongly opposed it. At that time, the Zhang family was a big family in the capital. Your grandparents and their grandparents had no choice but to insist on it. Later... "
Zhang Hui suddenly took Chen Guoyong's words and said, "Later, I ran away from home and ran to many cities with your father, but in the end I was found by the Zhang family. Later, I left the Zhang family, so now I have nothing to do with the Zhang family."
Chen Cong was stunned after hearing this. He could not have imagined that his parents had such a tortuous relationship, and had been hiding it for so long. No wonder every time he asked his parents why they always made other excuses to stagger the topic when they didn’t have grandparents. But what does this have to do with Gu Keyi?
"If you guess correctly, this girl also comes from the capital, and also comes from a big family - the Gu family. At that time, the Zhang family was so huge that she survived under the light of the Gu family. Compared to the Gu family, the Zhang family was completely worth mentioning." Zhang Hui couldn't help but have a little wet eyes when she said this. I wonder if she was missing home.
"So..." Zhang Hui was interrupted by Chen Cong when she wanted to continue.
"So, if I want to pursue Gu Keyi, I will face more and greater difficulties than you, right?" Chen Cong took over his mother's words. His thinking was enough for him to sort out these things and reacted.
"This is an optimistic situation. The Gu family is even bigger now. Listen to your mother, no... don't continue. Their family can do everything. Your temper is as stubborn as your father. Mom doesn't want you to have any surprises." Zhang Hui looked at Chen Cong worriedly.
Chen Cong didn't say anything. He didn't know why this happened suddenly. Because Gu Keyi's family is a huge family, he couldn't pursue her? Why? Am I not worthy of her?
"Mom, I...I won't give up. Just like my dad back then, I can do what my dad can do, too." Chen Cong raised his head and said seriously.
"Cong, how can this be the same? The Gu family is really not what you think..." After hearing Chen Cong's words, Zhang Hui suddenly became a little anxious.
Chen Guoyong suddenly interrupted Zhang Hui: "Son, do you really like this girl? You don't care about everything?"
"I like it desperately." Chen Cong nodded firmly.
"Then go chase after me." After Chen Guoyong said that, he held Zhang Hui's hands, and now he held them tighter.
