Chapter 1911: Chapter 57: Where Has Your Mind Gone
Meng Fan raised his hand to signal Meng Xingzhi to turn off the flashlight, and couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth as he watched his father.
Wondering where his thoughts were wandering again.
"Is this your wife?" Meng Xingzhi, with the gaze of an old father, stepped forward to look kindly at Gu Yunbo and offered: "Why don’t you come inside?" The brat didn’t admit it last time; does he really think his father is a fool?
A father knows his son best. If he weren’t interested in the girl, would he be alone with her? There are so many girls outside who like him, yet he doesn’t say a word to any of them.
"Uh... no need, sir." Gu Yunbo felt quite embarrassed under the scrutiny and explained: "Sir, you misunderstand, I just didn’t feel secure about letting Meng Fan go home alone, so I brought him back."
Meng Xingzhi thought he heard incorrectly and pointed to confirm, "You? Brought my son home?"
"Yes! It’s dangerous at night, I wasn’t at ease." Honest, reliable, and brave girls like her are hard to find. Gu Yunbo cast a mischievous smile at Meng Fan, thinking that one day her personal charm would conquer him, making him willingly become her boyfriend. But that will have to wait until after 1980, once he survives his fateful crisis with no more threats ahead.
During this time, she’s pondered a lot and even chastised herself. She must’ve been scatterbrained before, knowing Meng Fan would face death at twenty-four yet not making efforts.
Absolutely scatterbrained, she swears she won’t entertain other thoughts before then.
"Ahem..." Meng Xingzhi was about to speak but was interrupted by his son.
"You should go home!" Meng Fan said to Gu Yunbo.
"Alright." Gu Yunbo nodded to Meng Xingzhi, "Sir, I’m heading off, goodbye." She said, then dashed away, disappearing in a flash.
Meng Xingzhi admired, "This girl has quite the physical fitness, moves swiftly too, not bad, not bad." He had the look of a father admiring his daughter-in-law, the more he watched, the more satisfied he became.
Meng Fan resisted the urge to roll his eyes and proceeded to head home, with Meng Xingzhi closely in tow, saying as they walked, "Son, this girl is good. As long as you like her, your dad supports you.
"..."
"Son, has this girl turned eighteen yet? Too young won’t do; you must hold off. Men from the Meng Family can’t be beasts."
"Dad, what about Pingping then?"
Meng Xingzhi was momentarily at a loss, "That brat doesn’t count." He claimed to have principles, insisting the girl must be eighteen, while turning a blind eye to Meng Ping dating before eighteen.
"Son, you haven’t done anything to the girl, have you? Is she pregnant? When are you planning to get married?" Meng Xingzhi was getting subtly excited.
Meng Fan, holding his head, said, "Dad, do you see me as a beast?"
Meng Xingzhi was shockingly surprised, "Could it be you’re even worse than a beast? Son! When a man encounters the woman he likes, there’s no helping it, so you can’t be too self-restrained. I know restraint is a good trait..."
"Dad!" Meng Fan interrupted Meng Xingzhi’s speech seriously, "Get some rest, Happy New Year." Then he shoved US$ 100 into Meng Xingzhi’s pocket.
By then, they had reached the doorstep, and Meng Fan pushed the door open, leaving his father behind, muttering to himself.
"So am I a beast, or worse than a beast? Son... No matter what, your dad won’t blame you. Whatever you do, your dad will unconditionally support you. Alas! A son that’s too well-behaved isn’t good, he’s not getting it..."
