To My Dear Mr. Huo

As soon as these words came out, the other three people present looked at Zhan Haoze. Especially the eyes of Shi's mother and Shi's father suddenly changed.

"Mengru, what are you talking about?" Shi Mengwan looked at her sister. Even if Zhan Haoze had a fiancée, he would not say so.

Shi Mengru pouted and turned the phone to face his parents: "I'm not wrong. It was written on the news."

Shi Mengwan would not have known about this. But a game their classmates were playing was produced by XM Company.

You must know that the games produced by XM Company are very popular. One by one. The space player that came out recently is played by a lot of students in their school.

Although Shi Mengru doesn't play games, it's because all his classmates are playing. She has only played a few times.

Later, she thought it was a waste of time and stopped playing it. But on the day she uninstalled the game, she happened to watch the news.

Although Zhan Haoze and Chen Feifei are not celebrities, the results of XM Company are so eye-catching. In particular, the game Cosmic Player has been ranked first on the download list for several consecutive months.

So for players, they will naturally pay attention.

For ordinary players, what if they know that Zhan Haoze abandoned his fiancée because he had a mistress? As long as the game is fun.

Because of this, Shi Mengru often argued with classmates in the class. She felt that she would not use products developed by a company run by a person with bad character.

There is no way, the children educated by Shi's father and Shi's mother are just like this.

So when I heard the familiar name Zhan Haoze and thought of XM, I immediately took out my phone to look for news.

This is actually a bit big. You must know that unlike Tianyu Group and Lishi Enterprises, which are large groups operating in traditional industries, XM focuses on games and is very well-known among young people.

Zhan Haoze used to be very mysterious, but since he got engaged to Chen Feifei, he has become a celebrity in Lin City because of his handsome appearance.

But now Shi Mengru looked at Zhan Haoze with unappreciative eyes.

Although she is young, her sense of right and wrong should not be too strong. She was afraid that Shi's mother could not see clearly, so she specially enlarged the phone to show her parents.

"Dad, Mom, look. I didn't say it, the news said it."

It has been less than a week since Zhan Haoze and Chen Feifei broke off their engagement, and it is still hot news. I looked it up online and found a lot of reports.

Of course many of these reports are untrue. But no one cares whether it is true or not.

Chen Feifei was still shy about speaking that day, and her half-hidden attitude seemed to explain clearly. In fact, it caused a big drama in the minds of reporters throughout Lin City.

What each outlet writes is even different. Some people still believe it.

For example, the news on a certain website is: Zhan Haoze likes the new and hates the old, abandoning his childhood sweetheart. Leave the green plum to support the Chen family, blah blah blah.

Another example is what a well-known magazine wrote: Why did XM abandon Qingmei? The identity of the mistress is mysterious and her life experience is a mystery. But one thing is for sure, it is definitely better than Chen Feifei.

There are other, various news. This is probably the content.

These days, Shi Mengwan and Zhan Haoze just get tired of being together. As for this news, because Zhan Haoze had promised Chen Feifei to say whatever she wanted, Tang Hua and the others knew about it, but no one came to tell Zhan Haoze.

What's more important is that Tang Hua and the others didn't take this matter as a big deal. Compared with the Zhan family's affairs, a little bit of news will naturally be suppressed in two days.

So not only Shi Mengwan didn't know, but more importantly, Zhan Haoze didn't know either. He has now become a news figure.

While Shi Mengru was talking, Shi Mengwan also picked up her phone and flipped through the news.

This time, her expression became a little subtle. And the moment she finished reading the news, Shi’s father and Shi’s mother also finished reading.

The four members of the Shi family stopped talking at this moment, and looked at Zhan Haoze together with very attentive eyes.

Zhan Haoze:......

"Auntie, uncle, this matter is actually——"

"Mr. Zhan. I'm sorry." Shi's mother spoke first. She definitely has status in this family.

"Qi Dafei, our Wanwan is not compatible with Mr. Zhan. So please invite Mr. Zhan."

It’s not common for rural people to chase people away halfway through their meal. This is too shameless. But Mother Shi actually did such a rude thing.

"That's right."

Father Shi stared at Zhan Haoze coldly. He was already dissatisfied with the man who wanted to marry his daughter, but now he was even more dissatisfied.

"Mr. Zhan, please come if you are not obsessed."

Shi Mengru blinked and suddenly stopped talking.

Shi Mengwan glanced at her family, and finally looked at Zhan Haoze: "Am I the mistress?"

Because of his mistress relationship, he and Chen Feifei broke off their engagement? Is that what the news means?

"Wanwan, you know you are not."

"I don't know." Shi Mengwan only hated herself for not seeing the news earlier. If she had seen it earlier, she would definitely not have brought Zhan Haoze back.

"I just know that now."

"Wanwan..."

"Chen Feifei announced the termination of the engagement, you know that, right?"

"Yes." Zhan Haoze couldn't deny that he did know.

"She said you broke off the engagement with her because of a third party. You know that, right?"

"I don't know." Zhan Haoze shook his head: "I just said that she can find excuses at will."

But Zhan Haoze didn't expect that Chen Feifei would find such an excuse.

Zhan Haoze met the eyes of the two elders of the Shi family and felt a little embarrassed for a moment. But what's more important now is Shi Mengwan. He absolutely, absolutely has no intention of making her a mistress.

"Wanwan?"

Shi Mengwan turned her face away and did not listen to Zhan Haoze's explanation.

She looked at Shi's father and Shi's mother: "Dad, Mom, this matter is not what you think."

The press conference and Chen Feifei saying she was a mistress can all be explained slowly. But now she needs her parents' support.

"Wanwan." Shi's mother did not expect that at this time, Shi Mengwan was still speaking for Zhan Haoze.

Father Shi's face turned green: "Okay, stop talking. I won't agree to you being together. Mr. Zhan, please go."

"Dad." Shi Mengwan wanted to say something else, but Shi's father raised his hand and didn't listen to her at all: "Don't call me. I'll say it again, I won't agree to you being together. Just let him go."

"It's not Haoze's fault." Shi Mengwan stood up, not believing that her parents were so unreasonable: "Besides, I know about this matter."

"You know?" Shi's father stood up suddenly and looked at her angrily: "What do you know? Do you know? Ah?"

"Is it true that this man has a fiancée? Did you stay with him when he had a fiancée? Really? You tell me."

"Dad. Things are not what you think."

"What's that like?" Shi's father has been straightforward all his life. Although he and Shi's mother are not rich, they are quite strict in educating their daughters.

Especially when Shi Mengwan ran away from home for more than a year, after returning, Shi's father and Shi's mother's parenting concepts changed.

"Let me ask you, did he stay with you when he had a fiancée?"

Shi Mengwan was speechless, and Zhan Haoze stood up: "Uncle, this matter is not Wanwan's fault, it is my fault. I did not handle my own problems in time. This cannot be blamed on Wanwan."

"Of course it's your fault." Dad Shi said without any politeness: "But you are not mine. I don't want to see you now. I'm just educating my daughter."

"You -" he pointed at Shi Mengwan: "If you still recognize me as your father, break up with me."

"Dad." Shi Mengwan was speechless. She had waited for so long before Zhan Haoze broke off the engagement. You can be with him openly.

The process was indeed not very smooth, nor was it beautiful. But isn’t it enough if the result is good?

"uncle."

"Don't call me, I can't afford it." Shi's father became angry and pointed in the direction of the door: "Let me go, don't force me to do it."

Zhan Haoze stood there, his expression unusually awkward. Except for the Zhan family, no one outside had looked at him for a long time.

"Uncle. Wanwan and I truly love each other. We -"

"Do you really love each other? Since you and Wanwan really love each other, why are you engaged to another woman?"

"Dad." When had Shi Mengwan seen Zhan Haoze like this? I couldn't help but want to say a few words for him: "Hao Ze and Chen Feifei got engaged because they——"

"Shut up. I'll deal with your problem later."

Dad Shi is just staring at Zhan Haoze: "Now, get out of my house."

"dad."

"If you talk again, I'll even kick you out."

Shi's father's words made Shi Mengwan dare not speak again. She stood there, not intending to let it go and talk about it again.

Zhan Haoze saw her wanting to argue with Dad Shi, reached out and patted her shoulder and glanced at her. He signaled her to stop talking.

"Uncle, aunt. If you don't want to see me now, it doesn't matter. I can leave first. But there is one thing I hope you understand. I am sincere to Wanwan."

Without saying anything more, Zhan Haoze left just like that.

Shi Mengwan moved on her toes and almost chased him away again. This move made Shi's father look even worse.

"Sister." Shi Mengru didn't speak. Seeing how things had developed, he quickly tugged on Shi Mengwan's sleeve.

Her parents are angry now, so it would be better for her not to make her parents angry.

Shi's mother couldn't bear it. She wanted to say something, but seeing her daughter like this, she didn't say anything.

Father Shi looked at Shi Mengwan, who was still standing there, and patted the table hard: "Why are you still standing? You don't want to eat, right?"

Shi Mengwan knew that her father was angry and had no intention of going against him, so she sat down obediently.

In rural houses, meals are always served in the living room. Shi Mengwan and Zhan Haoze were sitting with their backs to the gate. When she stood up, her view outside was blocked.

As soon as she sat down, Shi Mengru saw that Zhan Haoze hadn't left yet.

She quickly blinked at her sister. Shi Mengwan was about to turn around, but Shi's father patted the table again: "You can't live without eating, right?"

Shi Mengwan didn't look back, so she probably guessed it.

Shi’s mother also saw it, but didn’t say anything. Shi's father didn't like Zhan Haoze now. When he saw that he wouldn't leave, he yelled outside.

"Don't try to trick me. It's useless for you to stand there. Just leave my house. You are not welcome in our house."

Zhan Haoze stood there with no intention of leaving at all. Shi's father could hardly control himself and wanted to get up and drive Zhan Haoze out of the yard. But Shi's mother tugged on his sleeve, so he had to sit back down.

Shi Mengwan breathed a sigh of relief, but did not look back. This is close to Lin City, but in the south of Lin City. It was noon, and although it was not yet midsummer, the sun was very hot.

Zhan Haoze just stood under the sun, showing no signs of leaving.

Shi Mengwan had no appetite, so she took a few bites of food, but finally turned her face to look at Zhan Haoze.

As if sensing her gaze, Zhan Haoze also looked towards her and smiled at her.

Dad Shi then patted the table again. Shi Mengwan had no choice but to look away, lowered her head and concentrated on eating.

"The child's father——"

Although it was noon, not many people passed by. But in rural areas, it is not suitable to close the door when there are people at home during the day.

Zhan Haoze was standing in their yard like this. If someone sees it——

"You don't want to eat in peace, do you?" Shi's father rarely spoke in a good tone towards his wife.

So no one in the family spoke. After eating, Shi Mengru stood up and put away the dishes and went to wash the dishes. He winked at Shi Mengwan and quickly ran into the kitchen.

"Dad. Mom."

Shi Mengwan did not look back outside, but just looked at her parents: "Zhan Haoze is not what you think. He and I are not what you think."

Dad Shi didn't want to hear it, he wanted to drive Zhan Haoze out now. Out of sight out of mind.

He stood up and was about to walk out when Shi Mengwan yelled.

"Dad. Zhan Haoze is the big brother."

Shi's father's footsteps stopped there, and Shi's mother quickly turned to look at Shi Mengwan.

"Dad, Mom, Zhan Haoze is the big brother back then."

Both Shi's father and Shi's mother knew about Big Brother. When Shi Mengwan got it back, she had nightmares at night for a long time.

In the dream, I kept calling him Big Brother, Big Brother.

For a while, Shi's father thought she had a mental problem and wanted to take her to see a psychiatrist.

But I don’t know from which day Shi Mengwan stopped dreaming and screamed at night. They thought it was over.

Shi's father even thought that the so-called big brother was a character imagined by Shi Mengwan.

Otherwise, how could there be no news at all? Shi's mother did not regard this matter as false.

Xunge Studio, when she heard her daughter mention this name, she knew that her daughter had not forgotten Zhan Haoze.

"Zhan Haoze is the big brother."

Shi Mengwan said again. She never told her parents about what happened in that year or so. She only briefly mentioned that she was rescued by an older brother and lived with her for a year.

But many details and many interactions between two people are the most precious and precious memories to her. She doesn't want to tell anyone, not even her parents.

"If feelings come first, I'm not the third party."

Shi Mengwan recounted what happened that year in a very low voice. After she finished speaking, she talked about the nightmare that completely separated her from her eldest brother.

"Eldest brother offended some people back then, so we met bad guys. When you found me, eldest brother was missing. In fact, he was saved by Chen Feifei, Miss Chen's former fiancée."

Zhan Haoze didn't tell Shi Mengwan about this part, she inferred it.

"The Chen family had a life-saving grace for the eldest brother. He is a person who knows how to repay his kindness. Especially Chen Feifei's health is not good and she has a heart disease. So when the family wanted the two of them to be together, the eldest brother agreed. .”

"But then we met again." Of course Shi Mengwan would not say that she never gave up, and she took the initiative to find Zhan Haoze.

"Because the eldest brother owed favor to the Chen family, he agreed that the woman should terminate the engagement. I can probably understand Chen Feifei's thinking. After all, she needs a good reputation."

These are also Shi Mengwan's speculations. But these are basically close to the facts.

"Chen Feifei is a woman. If she insists on saying this now, should I ask my eldest brother to confront her and refute her?"

She believed that even if Zhan Haoze knew about it, he wouldn't do anything. First, the Chen family was kind to him after all. Second, Zhan Haoze looks cold, but he is definitely not stingy towards people who have no conflict of interest with him.

When Shi Mengwan finished speaking, she looked up at her parents: "That's the way it is, whether you believe it or not. I have never been a third party, and I believe no one will mention this matter after a while. ”

People are forgetful of actions, and they are not stars. More importantly, she was about to go to Qingcheng with Zhan Haoze. Under such circumstances, how could she care about the rumors?

Shi's father and Shi's mother were silent. After listening to Shi Mengwan's words, the two looked at each other, and now they looked at Shi Mengwan together.

"You said Zhan Haoze is the boy who saved you back then?" Shi's mother's eyes changed a little, and she was different from the man's thinking.

For her, whoever saves her daughter is also her savior.

"Yes." Shi Mengwan nodded: "Dad, didn't you tell me that a person must repay kindness? My eldest brother saved me, and he is my savior. Now drive my savior out, you usually It seems that’s not how we were taught, right?”

Shi's father was blocked by Shi Mengwan and almost speechless, but only for a moment.

"Don't go that far." Shi's father sneered: "You said he saved you? Do you know how many injuries you had when we brought you back from the police? Do these injuries count? Is it because of him?”

"..." Shi Mengwan was speechless for a moment.

Dad Shi added, "Yes, he saved you, but you just said that when you lived together, you cleaned, cooked and washed for him. Does that mean you also helped him?"

Shi Mengwan was speechless. She moved her lips, trying to say something, but Dad Shi spoke again.

"Okay, even if it was in the past, you said he saved you, but you took care of his life. Is this considered a settlement? You said he also took care of you, arranged school for you, and took care of you. So it’s true that you almost died because he was stabbed, right? Does this count as a settlement? "

"But..." How can emotional matters be settled in this way?

"The past affairs have been cleared, so I will talk about what happened after you reunited. After you reunited, he and the young lady named Chen are still together, right?"

"that is because--"

"I don't care why, I just ask you, is it true? When you were together, did he still have a relationship with that Miss Chen?"

Shi Mengwan's mouth opened and closed, and when she met Shi's father's eyes, she couldn't give a negative answer.

"Take a step back and say, okay, even if he wants to repay the favor. It's his business to repay the favor, does it have anything to do with you? He dragged you into the water, and now you are carrying the blame of a third party. Is this his fault? Are you going to suffer criticism because of him?"

"We can-"

"Just tell me, right?"

Shi Mengwan couldn't refute, and Shi's father sneered: "So you are talking so much now, and you want me to agree to you being together, let me tell you. It's impossible."

As long as he is around for a day, it is absolutely impossible. He would never agree to Zhan Haoze and Shi Mengwan being together.

"But dad, I really like him, I-"

"You really like him and really want to be with him. What happens next?" Shi's father said sharply: "You have never thought about what you will face after you get together?"

He knocked on the table and his voice was much colder than before: "Others will not care about his difficulties or think about his experiences. Others will only know that he once had an engagement and then it was terminated. And the reason for the termination is because of you."

"no--"

"And you, carrying the reputation of being a third party, are with him. Do you think this matter will fade away as time goes by? You are simply wrong."

In fact, Shi's father didn't believe that Shi Mengwan could not think of these things.

But even if she thought about it, she probably wouldn't care. Because in Shi's father's opinion, she has now been carried away by her emotions.

"I'm telling you, if you really want to be with him, these things will never pass. Do you know that?"

Shi Mengwan sat there motionless, of course she knew. But she really didn't care that much.

After waiting for more than ten years, I have been angry and despairing. Compared with then, the disappointment now is much lighter.

Finally I can be with my big brother. She is more grateful. What's more, she doesn't think this matter is unchangeable.

"Anyway, I won't agree to it."

While talking, Dad Shi stood up and walked outside. Staring at Zhan Haoze who was still standing in the yard: "Mr. Zhan, our temple is small and cannot accommodate a big Buddha like yours. Please move, Mr. Zhan."

"uncle."

"I said, don't call me uncle, I can't afford it. Please."

While talking, he directly started to promote Haoze. Zhan Haoze is extremely skilled and would not be pushed out by Shi's father.

It's just that this person is his future father-in-law, so naturally he can't do anything to him. In this way, Shi's father could easily push him out. Then he slammed the courtyard door shut. He immediately locked Zhan Haoze out.

Yue Ma looked up to the sky and laughed three times. Ha ha ha ha. Zhan Haoze, you too have today.

Six thousand words have been updated. Continue tomorrow. The first day of college entrance examination. Candidates, please remember to work hard.
