At Xia Xingruo's class reunion, Zhang Mingyang didn't know anyone and had nothing to say.

The few friends who had known each other for a short time also sat down next to their respective girlfriends.

He sighed in his heart that teenage class reunions were so innocent, and what everyone talked about the most was reminiscing about their high school life not long ago.

In twenty years' time, it doesn't need to be more, even ten years will be enough. When the classmates get together again, the former classmates will be able to distinguish themselves.

Everyone's discussion became more about what they are doing recently and where to make money.

People who are not rich are arrogant and show off their strength, but people who are really rich are secretive.

While others were chatting, Zhang Mingyang pushed hard at a dish on the table.

After coming to the Northeast for several days, he finally found a dish that was not so salty and even sweet. Sister Ruoruo told him that this dish was called Guobao Pork.

He was willing to accompany her here mainly because he wanted to get to know Xia Xingruo in high school.

After hearing a lot of interesting stories about Sister Ruoruo during her high school days, an image of a gentle and kind person appeared in his mind.

This kind of person seems to be very popular and has many friends, but no one can really come into her life.

Gentleness is not only the way she treats others, but also the barrier she puts between herself and everyone else.

Probably only people like Bai Banxia, ​​Ye Yao, and Cheng Xiaoli can really get to know her by virtue of their ability to run wild.

After the meal in the hotel and the singing in the karaoke hall, the whole traditional class reunion officially ended.

When we were in the karaoke hall, the class monitor drank a lot of wine and was drunk, probably to drown his sorrows.

It's a pity that in the end, his former goddess didn't even remember his name.

This is probably the unrequited love in youth.

"Uncle and aunt didn't call you today?" Zhang Mingyang asked again on the way back to the car.

Xia Xingruo's cell phone was quiet all day today.

"I called." She picked up the phone and showed the missed calls: "But I muted it."

"If they call again tonight, just answer it and tell them we will go back tomorrow." Zhang Mingyang advised.

"Yeah." Xia Xingruo nodded.

She had already thought about how to face her parents, but she still couldn't bear to leave her junior classmate.

"Are you going to leave when I get back?" Xia Xingruo asked, his tone full of reluctance.

Although her rationality told her that she should sit down and have a good talk with her parents as her junior said, otherwise her hard work would be in vain.

But she still had the urge in her heart to go home with her juniors to celebrate the New Year.

"I'll be waiting for you in Linjiang. I won't run away." Zhang Mingyang's hand around Xia Xingruo's waist tightened again.

"Yeah." Xia Xingruo decided to go back to Linjiang to find her juniors after the New Year. She still preferred to stay there.

The taxi stopped at the door of the hotel, and Zhang Mingyang and Xia Xingruo walked into the door hand in hand.

As soon as I entered, I saw two familiar figures in the rest area of ​​the hotel.

It was still the same scene as the previous few days. Xia Ling was sitting with her back to them. Liu Zhujun looked at her daughter who had just opened the door and came in, her eyes red and swollen from crying.

Xia Xingruo, who had just walked in, also noticed her parents.

But she didn't say anything. She even pretended that she didn't see the two people sitting in the rest area and took her junior's hand and walked straight to the elevator.

Seeing that his daughter ignored him, Liu Zhujun stood up and wanted to reach out, but after thinking about it, he took it back and stood there at a loss.

Xia Ling turned his back to them and said nothing like last time, but this time he didn't stop his wife who wanted to stand up.

"Let's meet them." Zhang Mingyang took the initiative to hold Xia Xingruo.

She turned her head, and there were crystal clear pearls swirling in her eyes.

When he saw the long list of missed calls in the car just now, Zhang Mingyang guessed that Xia Ling and Liu Zhujun should have arrived.

Xia Xingruo stood there without saying anything. Although she turned her head to the other side without looking at her parents, she did not run away again.

Zhang Mingyang pulled her to her parents.

Liu Zhujun was still observing him, but what was different from last time was that Liu Zhujun was no longer enthusiastic. There were complicated expressions in her red eyes, probably because she had not thought about her attitude towards Zhang Mingyang.

Liu Zhujun was very excited to see her daughter finally returned to her side intact.

She rushed forward and hugged her daughter tightly, saying: "How about going back with mom."

Xia Xingruo remained silent, just crying silently.

This strange scene in the rest area has attracted many people around to watch.

Zhang Mingyang considered that Xia Ling was still a public figure, and many people here probably knew him.

After thinking, he stepped forward and said to Xia Ling's back: "Uncle, let me treat you to a meal."

After saying this, there was a moment of silence. After waiting for a long time, I finally heard the man in front of me say in a deep voice: "Yeah."

The hotel they are staying in now also functions as a hotel.

Today is not an auspicious day, nor is there any special holiday. Zhang Mingyang temporarily told the front desk that he wanted to eat, and the staff found a box for him.

Along the way, the waiter led the way.

Following closely behind was Zhang Mingyang, and behind him was Xia Ling.

Xia Ling deliberately took a step away and silently observed the young man's back.

After a whole day, he had thought clearly about many things and understood that Zhang Mingyang had an element of acting in it that night. But the more he did this, the more curious he became about this young boy.

After Xia Ling, there are mother and daughter Liu Zhujun and Xia Xingruo.

Liu Zhujun held his daughter's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would run away again.

This extremely controlling mother also loves her daughter deeply.

The deeper the love, the greater the need for control. This is probably the way some parents express their love. Not only is it tiring to be a parent, but the child is also overwhelmed.

Entering the private room, Zhang Mingyang asked the waiter to serve a few special dishes according to the number of people, and also brought a bottle of good wine.

This time he didn't ask the elders what they wanted to eat. After all, it seemed that no one was in the mood to order.

After the waiter nodded in agreement, he walked out of the box and closed the door.

The private room is very soundproofed, and it's so quiet after closing the door that you can even hear everyone's breathing.

Of course Xia Xingruo knew she had to talk to her parents.

But it is not easy to resolve the matter that has not been discussed in nearly twenty years. Now, no one among the people sitting here even spoke first.

Zhang Mingyang still needs to take action at the critical moment.

After all, it was because of his appearance that things turned around, albeit in a very extreme way.

He stood up from the chair and bowed slightly towards Xia Ling and Liu Zhujun: "Uncle and aunt, I have caused trouble for you."

In this matter, there needs to be one person who bows his head first. For Sister Ruoruo, Zhang Mingyang is fearless.

As the first person to bow his head, he continued: "But for Ruoruo, I have to do this. Even if I am given another chance to choose, I will do it and I will never regret it."

Zhang Mingyang's tone was firm and left no room for doubt. Faced with Xia Ling's direct gaze, he had no intention of flinching.

The second step is to take all the responsibilities on yourself first, so that the remaining people can communicate normally.

Xia Ling is very familiar with what Zhang Mingyang is doing now.

When in the office, if a senior leader encounters a conflict or problem that cannot be solved, he will first ask his subordinates to jump in, causing the conflict to break out completely, and prompting people who can solve the conflict to come forward to solve it.

After the conflict is resolved, the subordinates of the big leader will take all the responsibilities on themselves.

This person will be transferred soon, first demoted and then promoted.

In the end, the conflict was resolved, the person who did it was promoted, and everyone was happy.

Xia Ling just didn't expect that this kind of office power tactics would one day be used by a young man to solve his family conflicts.

"I just hope that uncles and aunts can listen to your daughter's voice. She is no longer the child she used to be. She can protect herself and can live without your wings." Zhang Mingyang continued.

"Similarly, I will also protect her. I have this ability."

After the determination came sincerity, he was completely different from the one who spoke threatening words last night.

He turned to look at Xia Ling and said, "I guess my uncle has a deeper understanding of my details today."

Xia Ling said nothing and had no comment on what Zhang Mingyang said.

He admitted that he did underestimate him. After all, who would have thought that an eighteen-year-old boy could do so many things? Think about it, when he was eighteen years old, he was still doing odd jobs in the village.

It didn't matter whether Xia Ling expressed his opinion or not. Zhang Mingyang looked at Liu Zhujun and said: "Auntie, if I really want to take Ruoruo away, I will not live here again. I do all this just to create a conversation for you.

You should listen to your daughter's voice more often."

Like Xia Ling, Liu Zhujun also remained silent.

She found that she was being fooled around by this kid, and every step was developed according to his ideas.
