Chapter 26 Aunt, I'm serious
My dad's consideration was practical. He only had me, his daughter. He's always strict with me. He didn't want me to do anything bad outside, and he didn't want me to be like other girls who were only into money. He just wanted me to find a reliable one.
So when my father saw Vincent's car, he was skeptical about my future. After all, my family was not rich. If Vincent didn't take me seriously, then...
"Well, my parents like me to find a reliable, normal husband, and most importantly, one who will spend the rest of my life with me!" I answered him honestly. Vincent nodded thoughtfully and suddenly smiled weirdly. "It seems that your family-style is quite strict. If I tell your parents about us, what will they react?"
My heart missed a beat, and my face immediately became very ugly. "You dare, I warn you, if you dare to tell my parents about our relationship, I will not let you go!"
"You won't let me off? Or I won't let you off?" The corners of Vincent's lips curled into a smug smile. It was as if he had caught hold of something on me. Even his eyes filled with a desire to control me. When we were at loggerheads, my mother poked her head out from the kitchen and said to me. "Jasmine, time to eat!"
In front of my parents, I couldn't lose my temper. Although Vincent's attitude was really arrogant, I still had to endure, because once I anger him, I would be in trouble!
During dinner, my father and Vincent chatted with each other politely. During the conversation, my mother probably couldn't stand it anymore. So she tentatively asked Vincent. "How long have you been with my daughter Jasmine?"
Vincent turned to look at me, smiled, and said. "About a few months!"
In fact, I had knew Vincent early for years, but I didn't have much contact with him. It was just less than 20 days since we had sex. How could Vincent talk about it so long!
My mother nodded thoughtfully and then asked. "Are you ready to get married?"
I thought Vincent would consider it, but he said to my mother without hesitation. "Of course, now I just need Jasmine to give me a clear attitude, and then I can start to hold a wedding!"
Hearing this, my mom and dad looked at each other. My mom still came forward and said. "Vincent, I think you're well-off. I don't think your marriage is as childish as you said. You need to think it over!" Knowing what her mother meant, Vincent put down his chopsticks and said to her firmly."Don't worry, Auntie. My family listens to me. My father said that as long as I like it, he won't interfere my choice!" My father seemed to have understood the gist of Vincent's words, so he asked. "Your father? Then what about your mother?"
Upon hearing this, Vincent's eyes suddenly flashed a trace of sadness, which made me feel a little surprised. Because in my impression, he had always been the kind of person who was arrogant and had few emotions in his eyes. But today, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes?
Was his mother dead?
A wry smile appeared on the corners of Vincent's mouth, and then he said to my father honestly. "My mother was not very well in the past few years, so was her mental status. So she has been living in Rocky Mountain these years. I haven't seen her for a long time!"
"Oh, so that's what it is!" My dad felt that he had asked about her secret, so he said to Vincent with some embarrassment. "Let's eat!"
The atmosphere at the dinner table seemed to have changed. It seemed that since Vincent told her mother's whereabouts. The atmosphere had become depressed.
After dinner, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. By then, the sky was gradually darkening. Mother said to my father while cleaning the dishes. "Steven, take Vincent to find a hotel to stay. If not, then it will be too late to book a good room!"
My dad probably thought so too. After hearing my mom's words, he nodded and said. "I see!"
Vincent might have thought that with the relationship between the two of us, my parents would never ask him to go out and find a hotel in the middle of the night. But things went contrary to his wishes. My parents really did not give him a face.
But he dared not to say too much. He just politely said to my father. "No, uncle. I have to drive back tonight. There will be a meeting tomorrow morning. It will be too late if I stay here!"
I was afraid that he would find an excuse to continue pestering me, but he actually agreed to leave so quickly and went back. Now, a big stone in my heart was finally relieved. However, when Vincent was about to leave and saw the relaxed expression on my face, he deliberately showed a provocative smile to me.
I glared at him and gave him an "I'm afraid of you!" look back. Anyway, I was in my house now, and I didn't believe that you would break in and rape me in the middle of the night!
As soon as my dad sent Vincent away, he immediately came to me and said. "Jasmine, I don't think he is suitable for you. Just break up!"
I nodded frequently and said. "Well, dad, you have a far-sighted vision and I also feel that we are not suitable for each other. You can rest assured that I will find a reason to break up with him tomorrow!"
My mother looked down at the big diamond ring of four Clara on my hand and asked curiously. "He bought this diamond ring for you, didn't he?"
My mother was so sharp that she could tell at a glance that it was not cheap goods. After all, she was a jewelry store waiter before and had sold jewelry all her life.
I smiled awkwardly at her and said. "He bought it for me, but you can rest assured that I will return the stuff to him when we break up!"
My father breathed quickly and said. "Yes, yes, such an expensive thing can't be bought casually. My daughter, although he is very rich and seems to like you very much, I think their family is not normal, so you know!"
What the f*ck did I know? I've only heard about their family's situation today. How could I have the mood to ask them about that?
But I didn't plan to do anything with Vincent. Now that my dad is back me up, I naturally cooperate with him. "Yes, I think so too. He must be hit by some emotion, so he went to Wutai Mountain to become a monk? Guess if her family is too rich, so his father is looking for women outside, so he can't see through the mortal world?"
"Yes, like father, like son, you understand!" My dad nodded meaningfully to me and then got up to put the bathwater for me.¶¶¶¶¶¶
