Hu Qiang's Decision

As soon as Hu Qiang's remarks about being a married man came out, the scene was instantly cold.

Obviously, neither Father Ye nor Mother Ye expected this to be the case.

But soon, Mother Ye was the first to react, frowning and asking: "Xiao Hu, is what you just said true?"

"Of course it's true." Hu Qiang nodded solemnly.

"Hmph!" Father Ye, who had also come to his senses, stood up directly and said to his wife with a cold face, "Why are you asking? People have already said so, so hurry up and don't embarrass yourself again."

Then, Father Ye looked at Ye Zhenzhen again: "You too, get up quickly and come back with me!"

"Dad!" Ye Zhenzhen also stood up, but did not leave. Instead, she frowned and said, "Things are not what you think!"

"What's that like?" Father Ye asked angrily, "Don't tell me, you already knew that he was not divorced! If that's really the case, you, you... forget it, I can't say it, anyway, hurry up and follow Let me go!"

After being scolded by her father, Ye Zhenzhen calmed down and no longer looked as panicked as at the beginning. Instead, she smiled.

"Are you still laughing?" Father Ye was speechless for a while, "Why are you laughing?"

Ye Zhenzhen quickly covered her mouth, but still couldn't hide her smile.

It seemed that everything that had just happened was very funny to her.

"Zhen Zhen?" Mother Ye stood up in confusion and asked Ye Zhen Zhen, who was still covering her mouth to suppress her laughter, "You, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

At this moment, Hu Qiang couldn't help but stand up and looked at Ye Zhenzhen with the same frown: "Yes, Zhenzhen, you, are you okay?"

"No, no, no, I'm fine!" Ye Zhenzhen covered her mouth and smiled while waving her hands, "No, wait a minute, let me laugh for a while."

After saying that, Ye Zhenzhen turned around quickly and kept shrugging her shoulders, as if she really couldn't help her smile and had to turn around to vent.

Faced with this abnormal situation, Father Ye and Mother Ye looked at each other, and then looked at Hu Qiang at the same time, both seeming to ask questions.

Hu Qiang was stunned and quickly shook his head: "I don't know either? I, what I just said is true. I don't know why she is laughing."

Mother Ye frowned and said, "They say they cry with joy. Could it be that Zhen Zhen is the other way around, laughing with sadness?"

Father Ye suddenly thought of something and looked at Hu Qiang with evil eyes: "What did you do to Zhen Zhen? Did you, did you do anything sorry to Zhen Zhen? You slept... No, you lied to her?"

"No, no, no, no! I don't!" Hu Qiang shook his hands wildly.

"Zhen Zhen and I are innocent. We have even held hands...well, at most we have held hands and touched feet..."

"What?" Father Ye stared and raised his eyebrows and took a deep breath, "Have you ever touched your feet?

Okay, brat, your method of picking up girls is quite wild!
Do you dare to use these fancy tricks on my Zhenzhen? "

Having said this, Father Ye started to unbutton his cufflinks: "Tell me, how do you want to die?"

"No, no, no!" Hu Qiang was also anxious and quickly took a step back and said, "Calm down, calm down!

Uncle, I didn’t mean that. I touched her feet, but that was to treat her illness, to give her a massage..."

"Massage?" Father Ye raised his eyebrows, his face became darker, and he took a step forward and pulled off his cufflinks, "What massage? Full body massage?"

Hu Qiang quickly took a step back again: "No, it's massage! No, acupuncture! Yes, it's Chinese physiotherapy, to treat Zhen Zhen's sprain. It has absolutely no other meaning, really nothing!"

"Old Ye!" Mother Ye suddenly grabbed Father Ye, "Don't mess around, listen to what he has to say."

Seeing Father Ye being held back by Mother Ye, and having a buffer because he had just said a few words, Hu Qiang finally calmed down again.

After taking a deep breath, Hu Qiang said again: "Uncle and aunt, in short, we are not what you think.

We are really innocent, we have never done anything like that, we are really just friends.

Also, not long after I met her, I told her about my family situation. I really didn’t hide it from her at all, let alone lie to her, let alone flirt with her.I really don’t have one!

If I had other thoughts, why did I tell you that before?

Isn't it good to keep hiding it? "

"Yes, Lao Ye!" Mother Ye grabbed Father Ye's arm and frowned.

"I also think something is wrong here. If Xiao Hu was really that kind of person, he wouldn't have told us that right away.

I think there must be a misunderstanding here. "

Speaking of this, Mother Ye turned her head and asked Ye Zhenzhen, who had turned around a long time ago and looked at everything with a smile: "Zhenzhen, stop laughing, what's going on?"

"I'm sorry, Mom." Ye Zhenzhen pursed her lips and smiled again, "I really felt that the scene just now was too funny, and I couldn't hold it back for a while, so I stopped laughing."

After covering her mouth again and laughing for a while, Ye Zhenzhen put down her hand, took a deep breath and said, "Well, I'm fine, just ask if you have anything."

Just as Father Ye was about to speak, Mother Ye suddenly stopped him and shook her head at him.

Father Ye then turned around, sat back on the sofa, and stopped talking.

Mother Ye looked at Ye Zhenzhen again: "Zhenzhen, is what Xiao Hu just said true? Is he really married and his children are not young anymore?"

Ye Zhenzhen nodded and exhaled: "Yes, he has been married for a long time and has a daughter who is currently in the first grade of elementary school.

However, his wife suddenly left without saying goodbye four years ago, and there has been no news to this day.

Therefore, although Lao Hu is married in name, he is actually no different from being single.

It's just that his wife never showed up, and Lao Hu never went to the court to apply for divorce, so he was married. "

Speaking of this, Ye Zhenzhen glanced at Hu Qiang, and then continued to say to her frowning mother:
“I once asked him why he didn’t dissolve this marriage in name only and regain his freedom, and whether he still misses his wife and wants to save her.

Do you know what he said? "

"What did you say?" Mother Ye asked subconsciously.

Ye Zhenzhen sighed and said: "He told me at the time that at first, he was doing it out of guilt.

Because he used to think that the reason why his wife left suddenly without saying goodbye was because he had been busy with work and worked overtime all day long and neglected her.

Then one day, after he came home late from overtime work, he had a big fight with his wife, and then early the next morning, his wife suddenly left without saying goodbye.

But as time went by, he slowly figured out that his wife's leaving without saying goodbye must have something to do with it.

Otherwise, for more than four years, even if he despised his husband, he should not have ignored the child and never came back to see the child once.

Therefore, in fact, he had long downplayed that relationship and never thought that it could really be saved.

It's just that for so many years, he has to take care of his ignorant daughter and his mother with Alzheimer's disease. He is also busy working and making money to support the family. He has no time to consider personal emotional issues, and he doesn't want to think about them.

Because he had already tried his best to do his job well and take care of his children and mother, and he no longer had the time, energy or money to fall in love.

Moreover, the situation in his family is so troublesome that he can bear it alone. There is no need to find another woman to cause trouble.

Falling in love is too luxurious and unrealistic for him.

It was also because of this that he never applied for divorce. He just hoped to use his married status to cut off his thoughts and the thoughts of other women.

To put it simply, he wanted to use this method to keep himself single and avoid his mother's urging to get married.

Otherwise, if he really becomes single again, his mother will definitely try every means to get Lao Hu to go on a blind date and remarry, just like what you are doing to me now. "(End of chapter)
