Fifteen minutes later, the couple's quarrel slowly subsided. After all, when people reach middle age, they are not as energetic as young people who have been arguing all day long.
But neither of them paid any attention to them. One was sitting in the bedroom, and the other was browsing the news in the study room to calm down.
Only the aunt was squatting on the ground, carefully sweeping the newly broken glassware on the ground. The sound of "swish, swish, swish" echoed in the house, which made it feel like a horror movie.
After a while, I heard a sudden "bang" sound from the security door, as if someone was walking out.
Song Zuomin and Lu Man frowned at the same time:
What is he (she) doing out there?
Due to procrastination, Song Zuomin browsed another news article. Lu Man also sat on the bed for a while. Finally, he couldn't restrain his worry about his lover and walked to the living room to ask about the situation.
As a result, they met in the corridor.
Song Zuomin looked at Lu Man, and Lu Man looked at Song Zuomin. They were both a little confused. Finally, Song Zuomin said, "Didn't you go out?"
"I have nothing to do, what can I do out here?"
Lu Man replied angrily.
"Auntie is also at home, so who is going out..."
The two of them suddenly reacted at the same time and hurried to Song Shiwei's bedroom.
When he turned the doorknob, he found his pajamas on the bed and an overturned book on the table, but the person was gone.
Lu Man immediately called Song Shiwei, and Song Zuomin was listening nearby, both of them feeling a little nervous.
Song Shiwei rarely left home without saying a word.
"Dududu..."
The phone was ringing. Song Zuomin inadvertently lowered his head and suddenly found a bruise on the back of his wife's hand.
Lao Song was not the perpetrator. Lu Man accidentally hurt himself when he was angry and smashed something.
But even so, Song Zuomin felt uncomfortable when he saw the back of his originally fair hand slowly becoming red and swollen.
After a while, Song Shiwei answered the phone: "Mom."
Lu Man immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned subconsciously, with a questioning tone in his tone: "What are you doing out there?"
Song Shiwei was a little noisy over there, with cars passing by. She seemed to be standing on the side of the road. She calmly replied, "I'm looking for Chen Zhu."
"What are you looking for him for?"
Lu Man's thin arched eyebrows frowned even deeper.
However, when Song Zuomin heard that his daughter was with Chen Zhu, he let out a sigh of relief.
Is it weird to find Chen Zhu? They are a couple!
When we quarrel at home, my daughter must be upset. Isn't it normal to talk to her boyfriend?
"No, come back!"
Lu Man refused. She didn't want her daughter to continue to have contact with Chen Zhu.
"Where are you? I'll pick you up!"
"No answer? Are you still in the car?"
"Song Shiwei, let me tell you, if you don't come back, I will call the police..."
Lu Man was threatening, but the call was actually hung up.
Listening to the sudden stop of the call on the phone, it was as if someone had suddenly been dragged from the earth to the moon and all the sounds had disappeared.
"Weiwei...hang up the phone on me?!"
Lu Man raised his head in disbelief. In his memory, this was the first time that his daughter had behaved like this.
Song Zuomin didn't think it was strange at all. Look what you said. If it were me, I would die.
Lu Man seemed very unhappy and picked up the phone again and dialed again.
This time Song Shiwei didn't hang up, but he didn't answer either. He just listened to the dynamic zone ringtone for more than thirty seconds, and the call automatically ended silently.
Lu Man didn't give up and dialed the number again. There was another ringtone for more than thirty seconds.
…
After repeating this for five or six times, Lu Man suddenly pressed the number "110" on the screen of his mobile phone, but was stopped by the sharp-eyed Song Zuomin.
"What are you doing?"
Song Zuomin was startled.
"Call the police and report that someone is abducting my daughter!"
Lu Man didn't really want to call it out, she was just angry.
"Don't be ridiculous!"
Song Zuomin almost suppressed his emotions and warned seriously: "When people find out that Weiwei and Chen Zhu are just dating between lovers, then you are wasting social public resources, and you don't consider your daughter's feelings and face at all.
.”
"Are we just going to let them go out alone?"
Lu Man asked rhetorically.
Song Zuomin thought that this was really strange. Generally speaking, the father was worried about his daughter suffering a loss outside, but after meeting Chen Zhu's family, he was actually quite relieved about Chen Zhu.
However, he also understood his wife's feelings and her character, so he could only calmly advise: "Weiwei is an adult. She has her own emotions and choices. We can't interfere in everything. This will only be counterproductive...
"
"but!"
Lu Man opened his mouth to interrupt.
Suddenly, Song Zuomin felt a strong sense of exhaustion in his heart, and he felt that he could no longer communicate with his wife normally.
Song Zuomin simply waved his hand and said, "I won't agree to asking Weiwei to turn back now. What else could happen in broad daylight? I have Chen Zhu's contact information. I can just ask them to go home early."
Lu Man weighed it for a while before agreeing, not because of her husband's persuasion, but because she knew that there was a high probability that she would not be able to call her daughter back.
"You must go home before dark!"
This is the maximum limit that Lu Man can relax, and he also added: "Reply me a message every hour!"
Song Zuomin shook his head. He was doing whatever he wanted outside, but he felt powerless at home.
But at least the incident was calmed down for the time being, and the nanny had almost cleaned up the glass shards in the study.
She carried the garbage out and when she passed Song Zuomin, she asked politely and courteously: "Director Song, are you having dinner at home tonight so that I can prepare the food?"
Song Zuomin had very few opportunities to eat at home during the week, especially after quarreling with his wife, he usually just picked up his bag and left.
Even Lu Man was prepared for her husband to be away from home for dinner, and turned back to the bedroom.
However, Song Zuomin looked at the obvious bruises on the back of his wife's hands, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I'll eat at home tonight."
Professor Lu in the corridor paused slightly.
······
In a taxi on Keyun Road, Chen Zhu and Song Shiwei were sitting in the back seat.
Chen Zhu saw the message in the afternoon and immediately took a taxi to pick up Song Shiwei. He was now rushing to the Vehicle Management Office for the exam.
Song Shiwei didn't seem to want to talk, or she didn't know how to describe her parents' quarrel. She sat quietly by the car window alone, letting the cold wind blow her long hair away.
Occasionally she answered a phone call, but if there was any movement on the phone later, she would ignore it.
"Professor Lu?"
Chen Zhu asked from the side.
Song Shi nodded his round chin slightly.
Chen Zhu curled his lips, not answering the phone like this. Professor Lu didn't know how anxious he was.
Chen Zhu had come into contact with Professor Lu. She was beautiful and bookish, but the faint mark of the word "Chuan" between her eyebrows showed that she had a personality that was prone to anxiety.
Because of anxiety, I must control everything my children say and do.
If one day their children are out of control, not only will they not be happy that their children have grown up, they will only fall into deeper anxiety and be unable to extricate themselves.
Unless these parents can suddenly realize that no matter how the world changes, their children will never leave them, maybe they can get out of this anxious predicament.
Therefore, Professor Lu always only controls her on the surface, but actually does not understand his daughter at all.
Sister sweet, she is currently in the rebellious phase of post-adolescence!
"Ding~"
When Chen Zhu was thinking about it, he suddenly received a message from Song Zuomin.
Song Zuomin: Chen Zhu, what’s your favorite dish? I’ll ask Auntie to cook some tonight, and you and Weiwei will go home for dinner.
Chen Zhu understood at a glance that Lao Song did not specially invite him to come over for dinner, but reminded him that "we will have dinner when we get home."
Chen Zhu handed the phone to Song Shiwei, shook it and said, "The exam will be over in a while, and then we'll go back."
Chen Zhu was originally planning to take Song Shiwei for a walk to make her feel better.
After Song Shiwei read the message, he turned to look out the window without saying a word, seeing floating clouds, rivers, flying birds... these scenery passed through his sight little by little.
After a while, she suddenly tucked the side pieces of hair behind her ears and said to Chen Zhu, "I don't want to go back tonight."
"What?"
Chen Zhu's heart skipped a beat and he looked into Song Shi's slightly cold, slightly confused eyes.
He decided to ask more clearly so as not to be kicked out of the hotel when he arrived.
"I brought my ID card to the exam, did you bring your ID card?"
Chen Zhu asked.
"Bring your ID?"
Song Shi was stunned for a moment, and soon realized what Chen Zhu meant. The corners of his mouth moved, and he seemed to make a vague "hum" sound.
"Tonight, I don't want to go back so early!"
Song Shiwei corrected what he just said.
"Ah...haha...that's it..."
Chen Zhu breathed a sigh of relief with regret, and he himself was not well prepared;
Then he sighed in confusion. In fact, there was nothing to prepare for these things.
