It was pouring rain outside, and there was still some distance from the teaching building to the car. Chu Tianjiao in the car quickly opened the door and opened a huge black umbrella to welcome him. Without even looking at him, Chu Zihan pushed open the umbrella, protected his satchel, walked to the car in the rain, opened the passenger seat and got in.
Chu Tianjiao's solicitude received no response, but there was no big reaction at all. He was used to his daughter's indifferent attitude. Aren't all adolescent girls like this? When I was a child, I would ride on my father’s neck and talk about how to drive a big horse. When I was a teenager, I had a lot of worries of my own. The first thing I did when I came home every day was to close the door tightly and hide in my little bed. Read some love story books.
Everyone says that my daughter is my father’s little cotton-padded jacket, but there are times when she looks like a thorn fir, just like the thing on Princess Baihua in Journey to the West. Even if she is touched, her fingers will be dripping with blood. As for what quality she will be cotton-padded jacket, that will all happen in the future.
"Link Start!" Chu Tianjiao cleared his throat and said to the center console.
The screen lights up, and a cold blue light flashes on the dashboard. The car can be started with a voiceprint, and any lines you want to say can be customized.
Chu Zihan despises him every time I hear him shout out some slurred English sentences. It's hard for a tall guy to read an English menu. When we go to a Western restaurant owned by a foreigner, his pronunciation is basically rural British style. But to use a foreign language for such a trivial matter is like some people these days who worship foreign things and cannot speak without a few unfamiliar words in a sentence.
"A nine-million-dollar car does not require a key. There are only three voices in the world that can start it. One is me, one is the boss, and the other one, guess who?" Chu Tianjiao said proudly.
"Not interested." Chu Zihan's face was expressionless.
One in 100 girls may be interested in the Machinery Club. Most of the girls who appear in the Gunpla Shop are here to choose gifts for their boyfriends. Chu Zihan is also a person who doesn’t have much thought about cars. In her opinion, a hundred thousand dollars Volkswagen and the 9 million Maybach are both the same thing. As long as they run fast and have no problem running, and the driving feel meets your requirements, they are all the same.
He was bored again and had to act as a driver for his daughter. Every time at this time, he would miss Chu Zihan when he was a child. The little girl had been very cute since she was a child. Every time she went out, she would politely call her uncle or aunt. A group of people around her liked her. Chu Tianjiao also felt like holding her. Beier has face and likes to deliberately rub Chu Zihan's forehead with his stubble, watching her reach out to beat her father with a look of disgust on her face.
At that time, Chu Tianjiao felt that his daughter would definitely be a beautiful woman in the future, the kind that would conquer the country and conquer the city. She would be embarrassed to come and say hello even if her partner was not the son of a wealthy man.
Now she is indeed tall and graceful, with the temperament of a fifteen-year-old but a twenty-year-old. If she takes off her school uniform and puts on a long skirt and high heels, others will not be able to tell her age, but she will no longer shout sweetly. Say daddy.
The Maybach accelerated suddenly, threw a huge arc on the playground, and split the rain curtain like a sharp blade. The performance of this car is excellent, and it can drive very fast in a short period of time. Every time the man starts it, he must control it with the violence of a professional racer, but the car is stable and stable, even in such heavy rainy days. Grips firmly without slipping. The cars passing by gave me surprised looks, thinking that such a arrogant car must be a very good driver to be able to perform such powerful operations.
"It's raining so hard, and your mother doesn't know how to pick you up."
"Fortunately, I didn't go to the car wash in the morning. It cost 80 yuan a time. It rained heavily in the evening. With the money I saved, I can eat braised intestines with you."
"The guard at your school is really mean. At first, he refused to let me in. He refused to let me in. In the end, he made me angry. I said that I bought this car for more than 9 million yuan. I went to the city government. No one dared to stop me. Are you from Shilan Middle School more powerful than the city government? He immediately gave in and let me pass, haha."
The man fiddled with the steering wheel coolly and chatted nonchalantly with Chu Zihan. Chu Zihan was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned on the radio. The announcer's voice made her feel purer than the man's voice.
"Typhoon emergency warnings and road conditions are now being broadcast. According to the news released by the Municipal Meteorological Observatory, Typhoon Dandelion, the seventh typhoon this year, will make landfall on the southeast coast of our city this afternoon. It is expected to bring heavy rainfall and strong winds of level 10. All units are requested to do so in a timely manner. Good precautions. Due to high-intensity rainfall, the provincial highways and national highways passing through this city will be closed in one hour. The wind speed on the elevated road is extremely high and the visibility is less than 30 meters. Drivers are asked to avoid danger when driving."
The announcer's intimate reminder came from the radio. Chu Zihan looked out the window. It was really a torrential rain that he had never seen in his life. The raindrops seemed to be fighting in mid-air, and they were inseparable. Looking around, They are all covered with water curtains, as if the whole world has become a water curtain cave. The roof of the Maybach can't block this level of noise, and it always feels like it's being smashed through.
"This city always gets crazy for a period of time every year." Chu Tianjiao sighed.
The windshield wipers were swinging wildly and had reached maximum power, but the windows that had just been wiped one second would be covered with mist the next second, and the cars on the road would have to slow down. In this case, there is no doubt that they dare to drive at a high speed. It's dangerous. The city's drainage system is completely overloaded, and the roads are full of half-tire-deep water.
In this case, only Chu Tianjiao's Maybach still maintained its original speed. As a driver, he is a professional. A professional driver's job is to deliver guests to their destinations on time and safely. Such heavy rain will not affect it at all. The speed at which he drove.
"Dad said that when I grow up, I will move away from here in the future. This place is not suitable for living now." Chu Zihan rarely replied. She stared at the rearview mirror in the car, where she could see Chu Tianjiao's face. Eye.
Chu Tianjiao was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and realized that the father was not talking about him, but Chu Zihan's stepfather. He felt a little mixed in his heart. His daughter called another person daddy in front of him. His existence The feeling seems to have disappeared because those two words are no longer my own names.
"It's good." He smiled. I don't know whether he was sad or really thought it was great to go to other places to develop. "A small place like this is not suitable for you. You are so smart and you will always want to see the wider world in the future. Did he come in first place again last time?”
"Yes." Chu Zihan's attitude was still so cold.
"Based on your grades, there are basically no universities in China that can reject you. Do you have a plan in mind? Which university do you plan to choose as your target?"
"Dad said he planned to send me to study abroad and asked me to prepare to take the TOEFL test." Chu Zihan became more and more annoyed as she listened. She just wanted to be quiet for a while. There is a saying that if you hate a person, then everything he does to you is wrong. This is almost the feeling now. Every word that comes out of his mouth is unpleasant.
Chu Tianjiao's shortcomings Chu Zihan has always disliked. He brags about his car, his beautiful wife, and his capable daughter. Now that his daughter and wife have run away, he only has the car to depend on, but he still sees There was no trace of sadness on his face.
Maybe in his heart, that Maybach is the one closest to him, right? But even that awesome car doesn't belong to him, it belongs to his boss. He is just a driver. Things that don't belong to him will eventually leave him one day, and he doesn't know if he will truly lose his soul at that time.
Thinking of this, Chu Zihan wanted to laugh. How could someone who didn't care about anything be sad? Even after his wife and daughter left, he didn't see much change.
"There is nothing good abroad. Believe me, when you go there, you will know what Chinese cuisine is. The stomach developed from snacks and cooking is really not in line with the eating habits of foreigners. You will miss it after living here for a month or two." It tastes like green onions mixed with tofu." Chu Tianjiao spat, "We Chinese are the best at eating. We can get whatever we want from the ground that flies in the sky and swims in the sea."
He said it as if you had been there. Chu Zihan didn't bother to expose him. It was probably something he watched on TV and public articles on the Internet. How could he preach to her? Chicago in the United States does not mean everything.
"There are Chinese restaurants abroad, and they are quite popular." Chu Zihan retorted.
"That should be called American Chinese food. It's not the same thing as what you are used to. Can you imagine what it would be like to eat fried dumplings sprinkled on the pie? It's like Italians seeing pineapple on pizza."
"It sounds like you've even been to Italy." Chu Zihan said coldly.
"Have you ever visited a store opened by a foreigner with the boss? It's a good thing to study abroad, but I'm really afraid that you won't be used to eating. As for this person, the most important thing is to eat well and drink well. He is energetic in everything he does. He eats... When Wo Wotou goes to court, do you think such an official can do good things without being greedy for money? Only after he is well fed will he do things for you."
It turned out that he was not worried about running away, but was thinking about his daughter's life with his mind full of braised vegetables. Chu Zihan really didn't know what to say. He liked to eat some braised vegetables and drink a little wine, and thought that the whole world Everyone should be like him. Even if he is really not used to it, Chu Zihan can still feel comfortable with milk and bread.
People with poor eyesight are so unpleasant, that's why my mother divorced him. I think the beautiful dancer and the tall and thick man really have nothing in common. When they got together in the first place, it was because my mother was too naive and was fooled by his sweet words. Round and round. A man's mouth is a lie. When he is in love, he is like Xiao Tiantian. When he is not in love, he is like Mrs. Niu.
However, he is not without his merits. He is a Shandong man. He is tall and muscular. He fits the description of ancient military commanders with a strong back and strong waist. He is not a handsome man but he is definitely a macho man. If he were not a driver, he would be as hunched over as a shrimp. , if you go out with your chest raised and your head raised, your temperament will be better, and you will look like a fighting champion.
I think my mother was also coveting his broad arms at the beginning, and thought it would feel good to lie in it. The combination of their excellent genes resulted in Chu Zihan, a tall beauty who was born with the temperament of a dancer. Mom When she was a child, she often helped her with some manners and manners.
"Do you still like mom?"
Very suddenly, Chu Zihan asked such a question. After the divorce, Chu Zihan was sentenced to his mother, Su Xiaoyan, but he still had contact with Chu Tianjiao in private. Between her and her father, her mother was rarely mentioned. The topic is like some kind of tacit taboo.
I still remember when they were divorced, Chu Tianjiao promised his ex-wife with a pat on his chest, saying that he would make money on a monthly basis to support their mother and son, and to show his wife that he could be promising, and that when he became successful, he would definitely come to propose to her again.
After three or four months of hanging up his resume in the job market, but no one took him seriously, he finally realized that all he knew was driving, so he went out of his way to find a driving job in a private company. Seeing his sharp tongue, the boss of the Black Prince Group asked him to drive this Maybach. The driver had to be good at talking and talking, so that the boss could let the driver do the boasting that he couldn't boast about.
As for the salary, it is a bit higher than that of ordinary drivers, but not as good as those brothers who drive large trucks. It's not like he doesn't know how to drive one, but he seems to be unwilling to leave the city.
He is probably just like the middle-aged man who can be seen everywhere on the street. He doesn't have much money in his pocket, sitting on the chair of the roadside stall owner, with a bottle of beer and a plate of intestines, looking outside. Having a drink in the drizzle and bragging to the boss is his greatest happiness.
In comparison, the mother who was carrying Chu Zihan was much better than the man. At the beginning, her mother always held Chu Zihan in tears and told her how good Chu Tianjiao was, how humorous he was, and how to take him to play. , full of nostalgia. But then he started scolding him again, saying that he was a coward. He didn't want anything from him, but he just didn't want to work hard and wanted to stay in his doghouse for the rest of his life.
After a month of venting, she seemed to have figured it out. People can't hang themselves from a tree. Chu Tianjiao hasn't made any new moves yet. She has already bought new cosmetics and sent Chu Zihan to her grandma's house. , went out clubbing with her sisters in a pretty way, and not long after, she brought back a new father for Chu Zihan.
This time, my mother learned Chu Tianjiao’s lesson and chose the best man from a thousand, the famous local entrepreneur Lu Tianming. She is divorced and has a daughter who is adopted. She is infertile herself, so she is a perfect match. So Su Xiaoyan made an agreement with him that she would treat Chu Zihan as her own daughter, and in the future the family business would be divided equally between the two daughters.
The inability to have children was a big problem for Lu Tianming. Such a big family business had to be succeeded by someone. He was also very happy to meet Su Xiaoyan now because he saw Chu Zihan, a young girl at that time. She has already shown outstanding talent, so there is nothing wrong with raising such a child as her own daughter.
As a reorganized family, he has never been partial, and even treats Chu Zihan better than his adopted children to a certain extent. Lu Tianming feels that Chu Zihan is obviously better than Chu Yi, and everything he gives is in Standards for benchmarking successors.
