After returning to Dong Fu Xuan Garden in San Francisco's Chinese community, Dong Guanqing watched the taxi Liu Jincheng take disappear around the corner, and then turned around and walked into the small garden of his home. At this time, the old housekeeper of the family happened to come out of the main house, and when he saw Dong Guanqing who was carrying a salute, he hurriedly greeted her, took the luggage in her hand, and said urgently: "My little aunt, you are finally back! If you don't come back, the old lady and the old lady of the Liu Mansion will go to the police station to report the case." You also count the time. I came back so late, and the family was very busy, and you don't know that the master is not a master in charge, and everything is pressed on the wife, so the wife's anger has become very big in the past two days, and even the master has been scolded several times. You should be careful when you enter the house later, and go and apologize first, so as not to be scolded by your wife, you know?"

"Got it! Fauber. Looking at the nervous old housekeeper, Dong Guanqing smiled and nodded. Then he took out the gift he bought on the road from his luggage, stuffed it to the old butler, and said, "I know that you always like to smoke, so I specially bought some good tobacco, you can always take it!"

After speaking, he didn't wait for the old housekeeper to say anything. He walked quickly into the house, and the old butler behind him sniffed the tobacco in his hand, and an intoxicated expression flashed on his face, and then he smiled with satisfaction, and followed quickly with his luggage.

After asking the maid at home, knowing that her parents were in the study, Dong Guanqing went to the study on the second floor, and at this time her younger brother Dong Lince happened to come out of the study, and when he saw his sister coming over, he immediately showed a gloating smile, pointed at her and said: "Sister, you are miserable! I ran outside and went crazy for so long before I came back, just now my mother was angry because of your matter, and I was so scared that I ran out. You're in there right now and you're bumping into it. ”

Dong Guanqing glared at his younger brother and sneered: "You kid gloating, right? Then don't ask for the gift I bought for you." ”

Dong Lince hurriedly grabbed Dong Guanqing's sleeve, stretched out his hand, and said, "Don't! Sister! I was on my side just now." That's why you're being scolded, you can't be ungrateful!"

"I knew you stinky boy would be like this!" Dong Guanqing put his finger on his brother's head, put the gift in the bag on his hand, and said: "It's not a matter that you are always idle at home, after the wedding, I will let someone arrange something for you, right?"

"Let's talk about it then! Anyway, don't you have so many companies in your hands? Dong Lince didn't take it seriously, said it casually, and ran downstairs with the gift in hand.

Seeing his younger brother like this, Dong Guanqing didn't know what to say, so he could only shake his head, turned to the door of the study, took a deep breath, and got ready. Then he pushed the door and walked in.

Obviously, the conversation between the sisters and brothers outside the door just now has spread to the study, about the arrival of Dong Guanqing. Sheng Qingping and Dong Zhenyu did not show any surprised expressions. I saw Sheng Qingping standing up from the sofa and glaring at her daughter, while Dong Zhenyu secretly made a careful gesture to her daughter, but Sheng Qingping seemed to be aware of it, turned around and glared at her husband fiercely, so frightened that he hurriedly took his hand back and coughed dryly.

Sheng Qingping was obviously still angry, snorted coldly, and said: "Isn't this the eldest lady of our family? I just thought that the wedding would be postponed in a few days, and I was about to let someone inform those relatives and friends not to go when the time comes." ”

"Mother, Qing'er knows it's wrong!" Dong Guanqing naturally knew how to coax Sheng Qingping, stepped forward and put her arms around Sheng Qingping's arm, shaking it like a kid coquettishly, and at the same time took out the gifts from the leather bag one by one, and introduced them one by one as if she were offering treasures, as if every gift was a treasure in her mouth. Dong Guanqing himself is a university lecturer, and his eloquence is naturally not bad, which gradually diverted Sheng Qingping's attention and grinded her anger down, and Dong Zhenyu, who was watching on the side, couldn't help but extend a thumbs up to his daughter.

"You still have a little filial piety. How could the experienced and intelligent Sheng Qingping not see her daughter's tricks, she just didn't want to worry too much, so she took advantage of the situation and put away the gift to show forgiveness, and then asked seemingly casually about Dong Guanqing's experience of playing outside these days. In fact, she knows the whereabouts of Dong Guanqing and Liu Jincheng these days, and the bodyguards sent to protect them will send a telegram to her every day to report their whereabouts. The reason why Sheng Qingping asked again now was mainly because she found that none of the bodyguards remembered what happened to them on the train. It was as if all their memories had been erased, and this vision was associated with the anomaly of the Chen family in the Americas not long ago, which made Sheng Qingping faintly feel that something she didn't want to see seemed to be happening.

Things are exactly what Sheng Qingping guessed, although Dong Guanqing said a lot of experiences, but he deliberately avoided the experience on the train. Even if he led the words to the train, Dong Guanqing would deliberately lead the words away. This made Sheng Qingping feel a little uneasy, just as she was about to ask Dong Guanqing directly, Dong Zhenyu on the side interrupted their conversation and said: "Okay! Okay! Qingping, why are you like a prisoner, ask over and over again, your daughter has been out for so many days, looking at her in the dust, she must be tired, and the wedding will be very busy for a while, let her go back to the room to rest and rest, recuperate her spirits, and prepare for the wedding with you." ”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Sheng Qingping's consent, he waved his hand to Dong Guanqing and asked him to leave the study. Dong Guanqing didn't really want to tell her mother about Xu Changqing at this time, so she deliberately concealed it, but if she continued to be asked by Sheng Qingping like this, she couldn't hide it anymore, and now she saw Dong Zhenyu come out and intercept the words. Hurriedly made a very sleepy look, turned around and left the study as if fleeing.

"You ......" Dong Guanqing's movements were fast. Sheng Qingping didn't have time to stop it, and the guess in her heart made her choke in her throat and was very uncomfortable. So she glanced at her husband complainingly, stood up and prepared to catch up, and asked clearly.

Dong Zhenyu grabbed his wife at this time. He shook his head at her, then closed the door to his study. said: "Don't chase, since your daughter doesn't want to say it, don't force it." ”

"Do you know what I'm going to ask?" Sheng Qingping didn't know how to explain to her husband, her face was slightly gloomy, and she said angrily.

"You want to ask Qing'er if she met Mr. Xu Changqing on the train, right?" Dong Zhenyu replied in a deep voice, but Sheng Qingping looked surprised, obviously not expecting her husband to guess what she was thinking.

Seeing his wife's surprised expression, Dong Zhenyu smiled slightly and pulled her to sit down again. Then he said, "Although I am not as smart as you." I'm not as sophisticated as you, but I'm not stupid. And you've been a couple for so many years. Just now, I heard you ask Han Si about their questions. Look at your face again, and the Chen family's gift not long ago, it is not clear what you are thinking. ”

"Now that you already know, why are you still stopping me from asking Qing'er?" Sheng Qingping glared at her husband dissatisfied, and said in a deep voice: "Judging from the table just now, she must have seen something on the train, and it is likely that she has already seen Xu Changqing......"

"What if you see it?" Dong Zhenyu didn't show any unusual expression, and always smiled and said: "After all, he is Qing'er's biological father." How can you cut off this blood relationship? She's not a child anymore, she knows how to deal with such a thing? Let her choose!"

"You really ......" Sheng Qingping really didn't know what to say about her husband, so she could only twist her head to the side angrily and ignore him anymore.
