Knocked out

"My God——" Xu Jingyang showed an overly surprised expression, "Congratulations to the thousand-year-old iron tree blooming."

Then, he turned around and made a funny bow to Gu Chao, "Hi sister-in-law! Little brother Jingyang greeted sister-in-law."

Gu Chao felt ashamed for a moment, but he couldn't do it on the spot.He smiled in embarrassment, "You're welcome. Just call me Gu Chao." He is two years younger than Xu Jingyang, so it's embarrassing to be called sister-in-law.

Chen Sheng curled the corners of his lips, laughing at Gu Chao secretly in his heart.He knew that his younger brother was a gentle person who everyone loves, but now it seems that Gu Chao is also a little bit overwhelmed.

And when Mother Chen saw Gu Chao, her complexion suddenly collapsed.Chen Sheng was depressed for a long time because of Gu Chao's betting and engagement.Later, Wang Shuo took him home, and he walked out accompanied by his parents and friends.Now seeing her son getting involved with Gu Chao again, how can Mother Chen feel at ease?

Father Chen also knew the reason, but he was broad-minded and tolerant, believing that his children and grandchildren would have their own blessings, instead he didn't care too much about the separation and reunion of young people.He dragged his wife to the side, and whispered, "Young people are like this when they fall in love, and they need to be tempered. Don't interfere, I believe our son can handle it by himself."

Chen's mother was also a little pink princess in front of her husband. She stomped her feet in public and complained, "It's someone else's father, and my son has suffered such a big loss, so he rushed to beat him up. That's you , the prime minister can punt a boat in his belly."

Father Chen looked like an old god, and explained to his wife, "If our family Jingyang suffered a loss, I might have rolled up my sleeves and beat him to the ground. As for the boss of our family, I haven't seen him being beaten since I was a child." Bullied."

"But look at that kid surnamed Gu, he is tall and big, half a head taller than our son."

Father Chen waved his hand, "Don't worry, my wife, our son will definitely not suffer. Look at the unlucky look on Boy Gu's face, and look at our son's proud big tail, whoever wins will see for himself."

Mother Chen was still worried, but she thought that Gu Chao almost broke a leg last time he fought with gangsters to save Chen Sheng.She decided to maintain a neutral attitude for the time being, and wait and see what happens. If Gu Chao behaves well in the future, she can reluctantly accept this "boy and daughter-in-law".

Chen Sheng booked a banquet at the hotel to welcome Xu Jingyang.His younger brother has excellent academic performance since he was a child. Although he received exam-oriented education for a short period of time due to physical problems, he is also a leader among young people who won the doctorate title at a young age.

The group of them came to the parking lot, Chen Sheng opened the rear door, let his parents sit in first, then turned back and opened the passenger's door.The habit that their family has developed over the years, the passenger seat has always been reserved for Xu Jingyang.

Xu Jingyang winked. Seeing his brother pull the car door, he said quickly, "Now that I have a sister-in-law, I can't occupy the magpie's nest. I will sit in the back with my parents."

Ouch, these words reached Gu Chao's heart.This brother-in-law is too sensible!

Gu Chao doesn't want to argue with his future brother-in-law about being called sister-in-law now.Of course, we still have to care about it in the future.

Chen Sheng closed the car door for him, and gave his brother a wink when he walked back to the driver's seat.

Xu Jingyang pursed her lips and smiled at his brother.

The two brothers have had a tacit understanding since they were young, and they can know each other's thoughts with a smile when they meet.Xu Jingyang sent a message to his brother: I gave my sister-in-law face.

On the way to the hotel, Chen Sheng was always greeted by spring breeze.

Gu Chao was restless, peeking at Chen Sheng's face from time to time.Chen Sheng had explained to him many times before, telling him not to think wildly, he and Xu Jingyang did not have the problem of who would replace the other.

But he, he wouldn't believe a word of it.He even self-righteously threatened Chen Sheng with this, and imprisoned him at home. He even said a lot of ugly words to insult Chen Sheng.

Gu Chao didn't dare to recall, he was so sad.If everything was a misunderstanding, Chen Sheng would definitely not forgive him!Or he continued to be stubborn and insisted that Chen Sheng was using him as a substitute.But what about the evidence?Seeing is believing, Xu Jingyang has a completely different style from him, he is a lump of ice, but he is a warm guy.Except for Xu Jingyang's skinny photos back then, which can prove that they were similar at a certain period, there is no other evidence.

Gu Chao has changed from fidgeting to pins and needles.

At the entrance of the hotel, Gu Chao took the initiative to get out of the car to help Chen's mother open the door, with his hand on the roof of the car.

"Auntie, be careful."

Gu Chao is actually cold-tempered.At Gu Chengjiang's birthday party that day, it could be seen that he had always treated the guests with cold eyebrows and cold eyes.He said he was standing at the door to welcome guests, but he stood there like a handsome ice sculpture.

At this time, Chen Sheng couldn't help being surprised when he watched him carefully curry favor with his mother, for fear of offending his future mother-in-law.

Gu Chao was more than trying to please his mother-in-law, that dog leg ran fast, helped Chen's mother get out of the car, and then turned around to help Chen's father.

Father Chen waved his hand vigorously, smiling brightly, "Just take care of our lady."

Xu Jingyang had a good impression of "Future Sister-in-law", so she secretly gave his brother a thumbs up: good training|teaching!

Chen Sheng turned a blind eye to his younger brother's teasing, and led them into the private room booked in advance.

Xu Jingyang walked last, observing Gu Chao secretly. The beauty of the "sister-in-law" is definitely nothing to say, it is rare to pick one out of thousands of people.Although the "sister-in-law" looks cold, judging from his attentiveness to his parents, it is estimated that he has a personality that is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

It's not that Gu Chao is unsociable, he just doesn't like to chat with unrelated people.In front of Mrs. Chen, he restrained his sharpness and tried to be a sweet-talking and hard-working ordinary junior, pulling chairs, pouring tea and water, and his movements were elegant and skillful.

At first, Mother Chen had a cold face and didn't want to talk to Gu Chao.But Gu Chao couldn't stand Gu Chao's sweet mouth and handsome looks, and after a while, her attitude softened a little.

"Little Gu. Auntie didn't mean to embarrass you today."

Gu Chao nodded in shame, "Yes, yes, Auntie, I know."

"I heard that you were engaged. Is there such a thing?" After Chen's mother finished speaking, she was dragged under the table by her husband several times, indicating that it is not suitable for her to talk about this issue now.

Chen's mother refused, "This meal is a family feast. Our family finally got together to eat, and we must not let outsiders come in without knowing why. Xiao Gu, do you think what Auntie said is right?"

"Yes!" Gu Chao lowered his brows and eyes, unable to clearly see his happiness and anger.He echoed what Chen's mother said, and his face was slapped by his future mother-in-law.

Instead, Chen Sheng and Xu Jingyang watched the show from the sidelines, and the two brothers didn't seem to intend to participate.

Especially Chen Sheng, when he saw Gu Chao's evasive posture, he felt a chill in his heart.If Gu Chao always used an evasive attitude in his relationship and couldn't bear this responsibility, then he would never let Gu Chao know about his pregnancy.Because such Gu Chao is not worth entrusting!It was impossible for him to hand himself and the child into Gu Chao's hands.

Fortunately, Gu Chao didn't continue to evade. He raised his head and answered Chen's mother's question seriously and positively.

"I have already retired. The previous marriage was ordered by my father, and I didn't know about it. Here I also hope that my uncles and aunts can let go of my apologies for the harm I have caused to you and Chen Sheng. In the future, I will Try to make up for it." Gu Chao has a pair of eyes that can speak, and the light brown pupils are shining, slowly uncovering the haze that covered everyone's head.

Chen Sheng looked at him, his eyes brightened.

But without waiting for Chen Sheng to speak, his mother spoke again, "Oh. So that's the case. Then, does your father know about your relationship with our family's A Sheng?"

"I know." This sentence is the truth, Gu Chao had already told him when he threatened his father.

"Does your father agree?" Mother Chen asked.

Gu Chao was stumped, but he still spoke the truth, "I still don't agree yet."

"Mom—" Seeing that Gu Chao was about to feel ashamed, Chen Sheng stopped his mother, trying to prevent her from continuing to ask.

Mother Chen waved her hand and looked at the eldest son with burning eyes, "Don't call me. I'm going to figure out all the problems today. Since Xiao Gu said that his marriage should be ordered by his father, I hope his father can agree with you Be together and promise me that I won't hurt you again in the future."

Mother Chen is a sensible person.She has taught and educated people for decades, so she is not an aggressive character.But it is related to her son's lifelong happiness, she will not give up!

"Xiao Gu, our family is not as rich and powerful as your Gu family, but our family has generations of scholars, and we are not considered high-ranking you. Last time I heard from Wang Shuo that A Sheng went to your father's birthday party, and your father humiliated you on the spot. He kept claiming that he was an actor. There is no distinction between high and low occupations. I don’t think that being a teacher is noble, and I don’t think that a businessman is full of money. Similarly, I don’t want others to point out my son’s proud career. "

"Auntie, I'm sorry." Gu Chao wished he could find a crack in the ground and bury himself in it.All these injuries fell on Chen Sheng because of him.

"You don't have to tell me you're sorry. I can agree to you being together only if you can be worthy of my son in the future."

Chen's mother went into a rage, and the three men in the family did not dare to say anything.Father Chen kept his eyes on his nose, his nose and his heart, drinking tea and eating snacks, but he didn't dare to intervene from the sidelines.

Xu Jingyang has been Mother Chen's close-fitting padded jacket since she was a child, so she naturally looks towards her own mother and queen.

It seems that this meal is not so easy to eat.

Chen Sheng watched helplessly as the Fengfeng Banquet turned into a Hongmen Banquet, feeling very helpless.

Compared with Gu Chengjiang's attitude towards Chen Sheng, Chen's mother was more polite to Gu Chao.If she really disagreed, she wouldn't have said these words here today.

Right now, Mother Chen is making a request on behalf of the Chen family, while Gu Chao is fighting alone on the front line, thinking about how to deal with it.

The other party was Chen Sheng's family, so Gu Chao couldn't be perfunctory.

As far as Gu Chao knows, the Chen family attaches great importance to family harmony, and the education of their children is also based on morality.

If Gu Chao said at this time that he had broken with his father and wanted to be with Chen Sheng, then the Chen family's parents would only think that he was not mature enough and did not value filial piety.They will only feel that Gu Chao is not worth entrusting.

But repairing the relationship between father and son is even more difficult than going to heaven.Gu Chao knew his father well, he had a stubborn temperament, he was stubborn, and he was stubborn.

Gu Chengjiang's most important thing is the inheritance of the family's blood. He could not agree with Chen Sheng. Based on his old ideas, he would definitely let Gu Chao carry on the Gu family's lineage.

Chen Sheng didn't want to embarrass Gu Chao any longer, so he stood up to smooth things over, "Dinner is ready, dinner is here. The crystal knuckles of this restaurant have been greedy for Jingyang for a long time."

Xu Jingyang was clear about it, and followed his brother to enliven the atmosphere, "The biggest motivation for me to finish my studies quickly is the food in Jingshi. If my parents didn't often visit me, I would have dropped out of school and returned to China."

Mother Chen cherished her youngest son the most, so she gave up the topic just now, and just put vegetables and soup for Xu Jingyang, "Yangyang, eat more. You have suffered a lot in the past few years abroad, and mom knows."

Gu Chao was relieved. He sat next to Chen Sheng, got up and served Chen Sheng a bowl of thick soup with three delicacies.

Chen Sheng's appetite has improved a lot recently, and he will no longer experience nausea and vomiting.He picked up the spoon and sipped the soup in small sips.

During the whole meal, Gu Chao hardly ate anything.But as long as Chen Sheng's eyes look at which dish, Gu Chao will put it in his bowl in the next second, which can be said to be very considerate.

This scene was naturally noticed by Chen's mother, and it also changed her view of Gu Chao a lot.

After the meal was over, Chen Sheng drove them back.

Xu Jingyang had just returned to China, and Chen's mother hoped that Chen Sheng could stay at home for a while, and help his younger brother get acquainted with Jingshi's contacts by the way.

As the elder brother, Chen Sheng is obliged to take care of his younger brother.What's more, even if his mother has spoken, it's hard for him to refuse.

Chen Sheng drove the car to the parking lot and asked his parents and Jing Yang to go upstairs first, while he and Gu Chao stayed in the car.

"Today my mother talked a little—"

"No! It's not about Auntie's business. It's true that I didn't do well, and what Auntie said is right."

"Is there anything else you want to tell me?" Chen Sheng asked him.

"I'm sorry." Gu Chao said too much sorry today, but in front of Chen Sheng, it was the heaviest and the most self-blame.

After finally resolving the misunderstanding, Chen Sheng couldn't bear Gu Chao to suffer any more, so he generously forgave him, and took the initiative to take the blame, "It's also my fault that I deliberately concealed Jingyang's existence from you, otherwise you wouldn't have such a big reaction. All this is over, Gu Chao, you don't have to feel guilty about it anymore."

"But Auntie is right. I was not responsible enough. I chose to back down when I should stand up to protect you, and I chose to doubt you when I should trust you. I made you sad." Gu Chao put his head in his hands, looking it's painful.

Chen Sheng unbuckled his seat belt, reached out and hugged Gu Chao into his arms.He has two incessant feelings for Gu Chao, one is the same-sex attraction | love, and the other is the elder brother's love for the younger brother.

"Brother—" Gu Chao hugged Chen Sheng tightly, his voice sounded like he was about to collapse. "I'm sorry for you. I'm cowardly and incompetent. I'm afraid of my father. I'm afraid he will hurt you, so I dare not admit that I like you in front of him. I'm so useless, how can I ask you to forgive me?"

Chen Sheng lowered his head and gently kissed the broken hair on his forehead.

Ugh!

"Don't blame my mother for speaking directly. She said that mainly because I told them that I plan to marry you in the future." Same-sex marriage has been allowed in China, and Chen Sheng certainly hopes to give her children a complete and happy family.

Gu Chao was frightened, not only because of Chen Sheng's words.Just now, Chen Sheng's stomach seemed to move... a bit.

No, moved again.
