"No, definitely not. Definitely not. "My dad quickly denied Chen YingRan's guess," It's definitely not the mother of one of his classmates. "
"Then who are you going to remarry?" Chen YingRan pursued.
"It … hasn't been confirmed yet …" My dad looked towards me for help, hoping I could say something for him.
I saw Xiao Qin was already very curious and was about to ask who Uncle Ye was going to marry, so I couldn't stay silent anymore.
Even if I wanted to tell her the truth, I should find a more suitable location, not in front of so many unrelated people.
I suddenly thought of a candidate who could temporarily deal with the situation.
"Dad, it's fine to tell them." I tapped the table and said indifferently, "It's just Auntie Xiao Juan."
Xiao Juan used to be my dad's student. In my memory, she was a young girl who wore glasses and had braids. After my dad was hit by a divorce and resigned from his position at the university, Xiao Juan would still come to my house as a student to ask him questions about life. She didn't stop until I was 7 or 8 years old.
Even Auntie Ren, who was our neighbor at the time, could tell Xiao Juan wanted to have a teacher-student relationship with my dad. Every time Xiao Juan came to my house, she would desperately give me candies to increase my reputation. I always saw her as my biggest source of snacks, and I still remember it.
Unfortunately, her father had always thought that Xiao Juan was immature for liking him. He didn't support a relationship between a teacher and a student, nor did he struggle out of the quagmire of losing Ai ShuQiao. He was afraid of delaying her, so he deliberately gave Xiao Juan a hard time. Finally, there was a time when his words were too harsh, causing her to run away crying and never come back.
Later on, I heard my dad's university classmate, He Gouyu (?). It seems like Xiao Juan was sent to Canada for graduate school, but I don't know where she ended up.
Since Auntie Xiao Juan is most likely not in the country, and 'Xiao Juan' is only a nickname, not her full name, so I should use her as a temporary shield.
"Xiao Juan?" My dad didn't react for a moment and actually responded with a questioning tone.
"Of course it's Aunty Juan!" I gave my dad a look, "Auntie Xiao Juan has liked you since you were a lecturer at the university. You even scolded her away because you were against a teacher-student relationship. In the end, after so many years, she's still single and waiting for you. It's time to give her a conclusion."
Damn, I really know how to make things up. After spending so much time with Professor Yu these past two days, I've almost become the king of lies.
My dad saw that Chen YingRan was still shaking the cup of red wine in her hand and looked over suspiciously. He could only bite the bullet and say:
"That's right! It's Xiao Juan. She's a good girl, but she became a leftover woman because of me. I really can't bear to see her continue waiting, so … "
Winnie finally caught her breath after wolfing down the food. She exclaimed in a slightly louder voice, "Wow, isn't that like an old cow eating young grass?"
Winnie scratched the back of her head in embarrassment when she saw her words attracted everyone's attention and said: "No, I didn't say anything. It's freedom to love, freedom to marry, age isn't an issue, gender is also …"
"Is there really such a person?" Chen YingRan expressed doubt that a female student would be so infatuated.
Speaking of which, Aunty Juan is really infatuated with my dad. Now that I think about it, she wouldn't let me call her 'Sis Xiao Juan' no matter what and instead told me to call her 'Aunty Juan'. It was premeditated and she wanted to use me to become my dad's peer and develop a closer relationship.
That's why it was flawless to use Aunty Juan as an excuse. Although my dad always maintained the proper etiquette between a teacher and a student, and also tried to persuade Xiao Juan to liberate herself from this wrong relationship and pursue her own happiness, but because of the deep childhood impression, Aunty Juan still occupied the number one 'stepmother' position.
Some people might find it strange that since Aunty Ren treated me well when I was young and the Little Tyrant didn't dare bully me in front of her, why didn't I include Aunty Ren as a 'stepmother'?
Do you even need to ask! After all, Aunty Ren is the Little Tyrant's mother! If she marries me, the Little Tyrant will be my brother for life! I'm already being bullied to death as a neighbor, so would I be able to live to adulthood as a brother!
"So, so it's her …" Xiao Qin covered her mouth in surprise, "I've also seen sis Xiao Juan when I was young …"
"It's Aunty Juan!" I reminded Xiao Qin, "I call her aunty and you call her sis, are you trying to act older?"
Xiao Qin mischievously stuck out her tongue at me to show that she was wrong, then she said to Chen YingRan: "There is indeed a person called Aunty Juan, but I haven't heard from her in many years, I never thought she would come back … sis Ying Ran, don't doubt it anymore, she really does like Uncle Ye. I believe she would also be good to Uncle Ye classmate if they were together!"
"Is that so …" Chen YingRan held a half glass of red wine and seemed to be in deep thought.
Since the two men at the table, my dad and Dr. Yu, were both older than Xiao Qin by more than ten years, they were both uncles, so Xiao Qin didn't have androphobia and she was able to speak freely at the table.
I used the lying techniques that Dr. Yu taught me and thought I perfectly made assumptions that were close to the truth. It even made Xiao Qin unconsciously provide evidence for me. I even felt proud of myself for having a high IQ — — but I didn't expect Xiao Qin would soon spill the beans to her mother: "Uncle Ye is going to marry Aunty Juan who has been waiting for him for many years!"
My dad was immediately treated as scum by Aunty Ren! Warm and touching words like 'let's have another child', 'let the miscarried baby run again', all became irresponsible lies!
I thought I had changed from a general to a strategist in a few days, but it turns out I wasn't thoughtful enough and accidentally screwed my dad over.
But I didn't expect this at the dinner table. I foolishly thought I was smart and had no idea my dad would be in trouble in two days.
"Wait!" Chen YingRan suddenly raised her voice, "I heard Mr. Ye quit your job at university the year Ye Lin was born. If Xiao Juan waited until now, then wouldn't she have waited an entire 14 years for you?"
"You could put it that way." My dad said awkwardly, "She was only 18 when I quit my job, so she should be 32 now …"
"That's true." Chen YingRan's eyes flashed with a hint of excitement, "But she must be a very infatuated and pure person if she could wait for you for this long. I can't believe such a pure and enviable love could come to fruition … "
Like a beautiful snake that found its prey, Chen YingRan's scarlet tongue swept across her lips.
Big Sister, what are you thinking? Do you want to NTR Aunty Juan? Is it because you heard Aunty Juan's love for my dad was too pure, so you're jealous and want to break them up? How could your heart be so evil!
I remember when you first became the school doctor, you mocked the previous school doctor (a certain naive big sister) for only having a medical school diploma, and you even cursed her husband for cheating on her when they just got married … You can't bear to see other people happy, and can't bear to see other people's lovers get married!
Fortunately, the news of Xiao Juan marrying my father was a complete lie! Chen YingRan, if you're not afraid of death and dare to NTR Aunty Ren, just wait for Aunty Ren to beat you until you can't take care of yourself!
"A 32 year old mature woman?" I heard Xiao Juan should be 32 by now. Dr. Yu, who had been ignored for a long time, suddenly asked with a serious expression, "Does she have big breasts?"
Is there a doctor as rude as you? When you go abroad to practice medicine, don't say you were born in our country of etiquette! You can't even ask if my dad's (fake) marriage partner meets your standards of a 'mature woman with big breasts'!
My dad smiled awkwardly and didn't reply.
Chen YingRan looked at Dr. Yu like she was looking at a monster. She probably thought there was something wrong with the doctor's head and he should immediately perform surgery. Otherwise, if he said he wanted to pursue her and even said he was going to propose to her this weekend, then turned around and asked if someone else's fiancee had big breasts — — it would be strange if he could get a girl like that!
After the weird atmosphere of the 'brunch', my dad went to ask Dr. Yu about my treatment, while Chen YingRan asked him about Xiao Juan's situation. The three adults gathered together, so the three minors, Xiao Qin, Winnie, and I also gathered together.
"What? Are you guys doing your summer homework together? You're almost done!? "
Winnie was surprised by our efficiency in finishing our summer homework.
Last time, I asked my dad to bring my summer homework over if he had time. I didn't expect him to bring it over today, so I can write it together with Xiao Qin (I'm just copying what Xiao Qin has already written, what a normal childhood sweetheart scene).
"No! I have to go home and bring my summer homework! " Winnie made up her mind, "I didn't finish my homework last holiday and the teacher even criticized me … this time, I have to use this opportunity to copy all my homework!"
Winnie ran out of the VIP building like a gust of wind, leaving Xiao Qin and I to do our homework in the bedroom of room 103.
The reason why I chose the bedroom over the spacious living room was not because I had any evil intentions towards Xiao Qin (Xiao Qin already caught a cold), but because there was more sunlight in the bedroom. The wooden table was also big enough for Xiao Qin to sit on while I sat on the edge of the bed to do our homework together.
I'm not sure if it had anything to do with the rain yesterday, but today's weather wasn't particularly hot. I slightly opened the windows without turning on the air conditioner, so the warm sunlight shone on Xiao Qin and my shoulders. It also shone on our homework and gilded everything with a layer of gold.
I suddenly noticed the Swiss army knife on the corner of the table. Xiao Qin returned it to me after she rescued me from the woods of Nameless Mountain.
I felt Xiao Qin became even cuter when I saw her serious expression while doing her homework. I had a thought and asked:
"Um, although I don't like robot toys anymore at 14, can I also bring brother Optimus Prime …"
