Two days later, it was the weekend and the family dinner day.
This time, the person who came to pick up He Tianran for the banquet was no longer the Rolls-Royce Phantom last year, but a relatively low-key black Audi A6.
The driver, Uncle Hu, had a good memory and knew that He Tianran didn't like publicity. After he fell out of love last year, Lao He asked him to drive and supervise the child to go to school every day. The child always asked to stop at a distance, and then walked for a while, for fear of being caught. Other students saw him getting out of the luxury car.
To be honest, the car that picked up He Tianran at that time was just a BMW X5. In this prosperous and lavish port city, it was a symbol of the middle class. If calculated according to the wealthy class of the He family, then The car is just a gadget, nothing.
Today's Audi A6 is Lao Hu's own car.
Lao Hu has been a driver for the He family for nearly ten years. It is normal for the company to reward him with a car key. And as the person He Panshan spends the most time with, he always has some opportunities to make a fortune.
What's more, from the appearance of the A6, in the eyes of people who don't know much about cars, they really only recognize the four circles.
"Uncle Hu, why did you drive your own A6 to pick me up today? The government car is not running and it is burning your own oil. What a loss."
In a parking lot not far from the film school, the driver, Lao Hu, was standing outside the car and taking a few puffs of cigarette during his free time. Behind him, He Xiaozi's joking voice sounded from far to near.
When he turned around, he saw He Tianran walking towards him with a cheerful face.
Although they had met him once in the hospital last time, the middle-aged man who had watched He Tianran grow up was still filled with emotion when he saw this young boy who had become a big boy again. He exhaled a cloud of smoke and took it from his pocket. He took out an iron box, put out the cigarette butts and put them away.
"Aren't you afraid that your kid won't be able to eat the rice bran and won't get in the car? It's the same thing. Anyway, the company has to reimburse the gas money. In the end, it's not your father who spends the money."
The driver, Lao Hu, joked without seeing anyone else. He Tianran came closer and laughed.
"Xiao He, is your hand ready?"
"alright!"
He Tianran turned his right arm to prove that his injury had recovered as before.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this young man is in good health. If my old bones were to be injured like yours, I would probably have to wear a bandage for two or three months."
Lao Hu patted He Tianran on the shoulder, and then squeezed his biceps through his clothes.
I wonder if the elders like to pinch the muscles on boys’ arms. It seems that as long as the muscles there are well developed, it means that the child’s body must be very healthy.
He Tianran deliberately drummed hard. After practicing boxing for a year, his physical fitness was not in vain.
Lao Hu said "Ouch~", and the boy continued following what he just said:
"That's a good relationship. Uncle Hu, you can't drive with a bandage on your hand. My dad is reluctant to fire you, so you can take two or three months of paid leave. Isn't that cool?"
"You bastard, why are you cursing me? Okay, you can joke around when you have time. It seems you are really nice."
Lao Hu knocked the young boy, looked around, and asked curiously: "Xiao He, where is your girlfriend?"
He Tianran laughed dryly and said helplessly: "I've been waiting downstairs for almost forty minutes to put on makeup, but I didn't even see her. Uncle Hu, you just called me. I Just come over quickly, she said... she'll be here in ten more minutes."
"Hahaha, then let's wait for half an hour. Why panic? It's early. Girls are like this. Xiaohe, you have to be a little patient. This girl takes this matter seriously, so she doesn't bother. dress up myself."
"I know, I know..." He Tianran responded with a few words, opened the car door, got in the passenger seat, and whispered in his mouth: "I'm not afraid that someone will get there first..."
Driver Hu didn't hear the second half of the boy's words clearly, but saw him get into the passenger seat without any explanation, and reminded him:
"Hey kid, please sit in the back. When your little girlfriend arrives, you two can sit together and chat for a few words. It will be the first time for others to have dinner with your parents. They must be nervous."
"Ahem...she...she is definitely not nervous. The back is spacious and you can touch up your makeup on the way. Uncle, don't worry. You listen to me on this matter."
Lao Hu laughed and scolded the kid, thinking that he, an elder, was present. The kid was too thin-skinned to be too close to his girlfriend, so he didn't say much.
The two chatted about their recent lives in the car. During this period, He Tianran suddenly mentioned that he wanted to take a driver's license test recently, so Lao Hu patted his chest and asked the boy to go to the driving school run by his wife. It was not far from the university town. He turned around and Just say hello and come over anytime you want to learn.
He Tianran became interested, and when he was about to ask more questions, he saw Lao Hu glance out of the car window, then suddenly stretched his hand out the window to wave, and then honked the horn again.
"Xiao He, your girlfriend is here! Last time I saw you two walking together, I just wanted to say, you boy, you have the same vision as Lao He. The little girl is so beautiful and has such a good temperament."
"Last time?"
"Yes, just last year I went to your school and took you home to eat mutton."
He Tianran's eyes finally followed those of the driver, Lao Hu. He looked out the window and saw Cao Aiqing slowly walking towards the honking Audi...
Wearing a simple white dress, a small brown leather jacket, and a white and blue contrasting handbag hanging diagonally from her waist, Cao Aiqing walked in. Her dress today was formal but also casual, and her eyebrows were After simple modifications, the usual neighborhood atmosphere has been downplayed, but it has a ladylike elegance and propriety. It is truly graceful and moving.
Driver Hu had a smile on his face and started to say hello. He Tianran was too late to remind him.
Outside, Cao Aiqing smiled politely at the driver, opened the door, and sat quietly in the back seat.
He Tianran forced a smile and hurriedly introduced: "Uncle Hu, this is my high school classmate Cao Aiqing. I received a lot of care from her in school before, and she is also the guest invited by my mother this time... That... Ai Qing, this is Uncle Hu is my father’s driver and an elder I respect very much..."
"Hello Uncle Hu."
Cao Aiqing shouted.
"Hello Xiao Wen, last time we talked on the phone..."
"Uncle, my surname is Cao."
Cao Aiqing kept smiling, corrected and interrupted.
He Tianran took a breath of cold air.
"Ah...ah, hello, Xiao Cao, hello, Xiao Cao..."
Driver Hu knew he had made a mistake and immediately changed his words when he realized it, but he didn't really understand the situation for a while. Although He Tianran introduced it just now, the only reason to blame is that he was too profound about the name "Xiao Wen" during the last phone call. Because the girl He Panshan asked him to contact was named Wen, and the housekeeper Wang at home happily told him that Xiao Tianran was in love. In the photo he saw, the girl in it was Cao Aiqing.
Ever since, the image of He Tianran's girlfriend in the mind of the driver, Lao Hu, was the name Xiao Wen and the appearance of Cao Aiqing. In addition, when he picked up He Tianran from school last year, this kid beat up He Yuanchong for Cao Aiqing. Boxing, that scene was still fresh in his memory, so he took the right call and called the wrong person.
Perhaps Lao He misremembered his daughter-in-law's name?
Or else, how many other girlfriends did he remember as He Yuanchong?
Thinking about it this way, Lao Hu thought it made sense. When he went to the bar to pick up He Yuanchong at night, he didn't see many Yingying Yanyan around the new young master, which made him feel quite resentful.
However, he was still very relieved about He Tianran. After all, he had always been a well-behaved child and had never had the bad temper of the rich second generation.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Cao. My uncle is old and has a bad memory. I apologize to you."
"It's okay, Uncle Hu."
"Haha, okay, now that everyone is here, let's set off."
Cao Aiqing replied with a smile, and Lao Hu said hello. Just as he pressed the handbrake and prepared to set off, He Tianran hurriedly said:
"Uncle, don't panic, we haven't arrived yet..."
"What?"
Lao Hu, a veteran driver who had been driving for many years, almost stepped on the accelerator and drove the car out.
"Coming, coming, coming..."
He Tianran looked at the six directions and suddenly pointed in the opposite direction from where Cao Aiqing came. At another entrance of the parking lot, a warm figure appeared there.
Compared with Cao Aiqing's elegant and demure dress, Wen Liang's choice of outfit this time is completely different. The upper body is a pink shirt and an off-white round-neck knitted vest. , pink and white are paired together to create a girly look.
Presumably because she wanted to meet her parents, Wen Liang's long legs were not exposed this time. She chose to wear a pair of khaki high-waisted pants with a slender black belt around her waist. , only the calf part below the knee is exposed, which makes this outfit very layered and designed.
Of course, the most important thing about this outfit is to highlight the beauty of a female college student, and it also retains the health and liveliness that a girl of this age should have. Combined with the cool and charming appearance, she is really bright and invincible. It is really the result of her parents. A generation of people, no matter how old they are, can never choose the wrong combination.
The driver, Lao Hu, involuntarily said "Ouch" again. Wen Liang approached and apologized:
"I'm sorry...I'm late..."
"No...no, Xiao...Xiao Wen? Come on, get in the car, let's go."
This time, even without He Tianran's reminder, Lao Hu finally separated the name "Xiao Wen" from the appearance of Cao Aiqing through the other party's voice.
"good."
Wen Liang opened the car door and was still wondering why He Tianran wanted to sit in the front row. She was slightly startled when she saw Cao Aiqing sitting calmly in the car.
But it only took a moment for her to return to normal and get into the car.
After a while, the Audi drove slowly out of the parking lot and merged into the traffic on the main street of the university town.
A few minutes later.
He was not as eager as expected. After nearly thirty years of driving, Lao Hu wanted to chat for the first time, but he didn't know what to say...
The back seat of the car was so quiet that it was a bit eerie...
Through the rearview mirror, Lao Hu quietly raised his eyes and looked at the two little girls behind him. One was graceful and graceful, and the other was bright and dazzling.
And he looked at He Tianran, who was in the passenger seat. He had been looking at his nose and heart since he opened the car. He didn't say a word when his girlfriend came. This is not right...
It seems that Xiao He is really promising. Even his father, He Panshan, has never invited Bai Wenyu and Tao Wei into the same car...
Lao Hu really couldn't hold himself in any longer. He coughed lightly and asked:
"Ahem, ah, Xiao He..."
He Tianran was agitated on the spot: "Uncle, tell me."
"You kid is so ignorant, you didn't even introduce me to him... Hey, that little Wen and Xiao Cao..."
"Here you are, uncle."
"What's wrong, Uncle Hu?"
Both girls answered simultaneously.
"You two...who is Xiao He's girlfriend?"
Yes, He Tianran lamented in his heart.
The carriage suddenly fell into a dead silence...
What's wrong? As an elder, can't I ask?
The driver, Lao Hu, was thinking.
In the end, it was Cao Aiqing who took the lead and said:
"Uncle Hu, it's not me, I'm his ex."
Wen Liang had just been squinting and staring at the back of He Tianran's head in the front row. After hearing Cao Aiqing's answer, she followed closely and said:
"I'm his ex."
"..."
The front of the Audi car lurched forward. This time the driver, Lao Hu, really missed the accelerator and the car rushed out...
Well, aren't these two co-authors He Tianran's current girlfriends?
"...Xiao He, aren't we going to pick up another little girl later?"
"Okay, Uncle Hu, let He Tianran decide where to go and pick up the next one. We won't be too crowded in the back row."
Wen Liang smiled with a knife hidden in his face and rushed to tell a joke before He Tianran, while Cao Aiqing silently looked out the window.
The low air pressure in the car almost makes people breathless. This time, not to mention He Tianran, the middle-aged man, even Lao Hu, a middle-aged man, felt his scalp numb. It was really an immersive experience. Returning to the desperate situation that both father and son of the He family are facing...
At this time, He Tianran could no longer pretend to be confused. He smiled awkwardly:
"Ah Liang, this kind of joke is not fun. Uncle Hu, Wen Liang is my girlfriend. We had an intermittent relationship earlier, and now we are back together again..."
The silence just now was due to Cao Aiqing's feelings. Unexpectedly, no one had started to eat. The two girls started fighting from the first second they got in the car. If they didn't express their stance, it would be too much to bear. .
After hearing this, Wen Liang blinked at him with satisfaction.
"Ah...that's it. Xiaohe, please explain it clearly."
Lao Hu couldn't answer the question now, so he could only pretend to have a sudden realization and said something.
"Uncle Hu, please stop ahead."
At this time, Cao Aiqing, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly said something.
He Tianran felt bad. Is Ai Qing going to leave?
After understanding this relationship, the driver Lao Hu did not dare to ask another word. He stopped the car as instructed. Cao Aiqing opened the door, got out of the car, walked around the front of the car, and walked to the passenger seat.
"He Tianran, change positions."
Outside the car door, Cao Aiqing said calmly.
"Yes, He Tianran, please sit down and sit next to your 'incumbent'."
In the back seat, Wen Liang patted the seat next to him, and his tone was too strong to refuse.
Regarding the matter of changing positions, the two girls had a surprisingly tacit understanding, and they didn't even communicate with each other through their eyes.
He Tianran quickly opened the car door, gave up the passenger seat to Cao Aiqing, and then got into the back seat. Wen Liang seemed to be deliberately showing off. Once he was seated firmly, he held his arm. Although The girl who moved to the front row didn't even look at it, but the girlfriend next to her was smiling.
The driver, Lao Hu, watched the entire process through the rearview mirror. He finally understood why this bad boy got into the passenger seat in the first place.
The middle-aged man also laughed secretly, turned on the car stereo, and the car restarted.
Wu Bai's "World's No. 1" is so fitting for the occasion. It plays as the background music for He Tianran at this moment——
The scenery of life is like the winds of the sea, sometimes strong and sometimes flat. My dear friend, please be careful...
Two cents for a glass of wine, come and join in every now and then. If you want to talk about love, I am the best in the world...
