Chapter 379: Saved by a fierce and rough boss
Wen Yang pursed his lips slightly and said with some embarrassment, "Brother Lu, I'm sorry, I might be very busy recently and may not have time to go to the park."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Lu Zhenting's eyes, but he quickly smiled and said, "It's okay. We can go together later when you have time."
After Lu Zhenting said this, Wen Yang couldn't refuse anymore. After all, Lu Zhenting was Uncle Lu's son, and Uncle Lu was his uncle's leader, so he had to give him some face.
Seeing the atmosphere become silent again, Wen Yang stood up from his chair and said to Lu Zhenting, "Brother Lu, please sit down and rest for a while. I'll go into the house to see if my aunt needs any help."
After saying that, without waiting for Lu Zhenting to speak, Wen Yang turned and walked into the house.
Only after entering the house and closing the door did Wen Yang breathe a sigh of relief.
She took two steps into the house and called softly, "Auntie."
Wen Minfang turned around when she heard the voice, a little surprised, and asked in a low voice: "Why did you come in? Why didn't you chat with Zhenting outside for a while?"
"Aunt, Brother Lu just said he wanted to invite me to go to the park." Wen Yang replied in a low voice.
Hearing Wen Yang say this, Wen Minfang was even more puzzled as to why Wen Yang had come into the house now. She asked, "Isn't this a good thing? You two can go to the park and get to know each other better. What a great thing! Don't you want to develop a relationship with him?"
"Aunt, I think the progress is still too fast... That's why I just rejected his invitation to go to the park, because I don't have the idea of getting married now..." Wen Yang slowly expressed his thoughts.
"Why? The Lu family is so well off! Zhenting is handsome, has a good personality, and works at a radio station. He will definitely have a bright future! If you miss it, it will be difficult to find such a good person again in the future!" Wen Minfang advised earnestly.
"Aunt, I know you are doing this for my own good...but..." Wen Yang pursed his lips and didn't say anything else.
Because she didn't know how to explain to her aunt the origin of her thoughts.
Wen Minfang was stunned for a few seconds when she saw Wen Yang suddenly stop talking. Then her eyes widened as if she suddenly understood something. She asked in a low voice in surprise, "You're not still thinking about that kid named Xu from Huangshi Village, are you?"
Wen Minfang remembered that Wen Tuqiang had sent her a letter before, saying that Wen Yang at home insisted on marrying a very poor boy named Xu from the neighboring Huangshi Village.
Hearing Wen Minfang mention Xu Weiren, Wen Yang shook his head and said, "Aunt, it has nothing to do with that person. I don't have any thoughts about him at all."
"Then why is that?" Wen Minfang asked.
Wen Yang pursed his lips and didn't respond.
Seeing this, Wen Minfang stood up, took Wen Yang's hand, and spoke earnestly, "Yangyang, your aunt also watched you grow up when you were little. Your aunt really couldn't bear to see you suffer."
"You are so beautiful. If you find a good family in the county town and marry into one, your future life will definitely be better than just marrying someone at random in the village."
Wen Yang actually understood all the things Wen Minfang said, but she now felt that people didn't necessarily have to get married. If she could live a good life on her own, then not getting married was not a problem.
But if she told this to Wen Minfang, Wen Minfang would definitely continue to persuade her earnestly.
So she lowered her eyes and responded verbally: "Aunt, I understand. Please let me think about it carefully."
"Well, that's enough. I can take care of your uncle here by myself. You should go out and talk to Zhenting. Leave him alone outside. Otherwise, people will say that our family doesn't know etiquette."
After a pause, Wen Minfang added, "If Zhen Ting invites you out for a walk, you'd better not refuse too directly. Give him some face. Your uncle will have to deal with Uncle Lu at work later."
Wen Yang nodded gently, "Okay, auntie, I'll go out then."
When Wen Yang slowly walked out of the room, he raised his eyes and met Lu Zhenting who was sitting on a chair in the living room.
Wen Yang smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I just went in to help my aunt."
Lu Zhenting quickly replied, "It's okay. I'm just sitting outside to rest for a while."
After saying this, the atmosphere between the two fell silent again.
After a moment's silence, Lu Zhenting finally lost his temper and asked, "Yangyang, how is your uncle now? Is he feeling better?"
"He has gone to bed, and my aunt has helped him change his clothes. He should be fine now." Wen Yang replied.
"That's good." Lu Zhenting nodded.
Then, Lu Zhenting changed the subject and asked, "By the way, I just told you about going to the park. Are you really not going to consider it?"
At this moment, when she heard Lu Zhenting inviting her again, she thought of her aunt's advice to her in the room just now.
Wen Yang felt that it was indeed not a good idea to reject Lu Zhenting so directly, so she replied: "I will ask the clinic later when they can close. Then I will tell my uncle about my day off and ask him to pass it on to Uncle Lu for me. How about that?"
A glint of joy flashed across Lu Zhenting's eyes, "That's great!"
After this matter was confirmed, it was also considered an opportunity to meet next time. So Lu Zhenting glanced at the time on the clock in the room and said to Wen Yang, "It's getting late today, so I won't stay here any longer to bother you. I'm going back today. When you confirm a day off, remember to let me know."
After saying that, Lu Zhenting stood up from the chair in the living room.
Wen Yang nodded and agreed. Then, after hesitating for a moment, she added, "Brother Lu, let me see you off."
The corners of Lu Zhenting's lips curled up gently. He did not reject Wen Yang's kindness, but smiled and replied, "Okay."
Wen Yang walked Lu Zhenting all the way to the street corner. Lu Zhenting glanced at the sky and felt that it was getting late, so he said to Wen Yang, "Don't walk me off. Go home quickly."
Wen Yang smiled slightly and replied, "Then Brother Lu, be careful on the road."
Lu Zhenting looked at Wen Yang tenderly and said softly, "Don't worry, go back soon."
"Then I'll leave first."
"it is good."
Lu Zhenting looked at Wen Yang's back after she turned around. Her slender figure was outlined with a soft golden edge in the afterglow of the setting sun. The breeze blew gently, blowing up a corner of her white skirt. The picture was as beautiful as a painting.
It was not until Wen Yang's back turned into the alley that he reluctantly withdrew his gaze and turned away.
However, in a dark corner not far away, the figure of a wretched man gradually emerged.
