76 Lying
“What time are we going home this year?” Liang Wen felt that it was a little strange that Aunt Hui didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving even though it was almost New Year’s Eve.
“We’re not going home.” Qu Zhi didn’t even raise her head. She had just handed over the list and was watching TV on the sofa. Sisi was in her arms, and Aunt Hui and Chuchu were lying down beside her.
“You’re not going back?” Liang Wen had always been a very traditional person. How could he not go home for the new year? He had an indescribable feeling that he didn’t want to agree.
“Yeah, I still have a big order I’ll be busy with any time.” Qu Zhi waved her hand, gesturing for Liang Wen to stop talking. The movie she was watching was at its climax.
Well, she had just started a company, and every business was hard to come by.
Liang Wen was like this when he first started his company. He didn’t even have time to eat for a long time and was as thin as a bamboo pole.
At that time, Chuchu was still very young and lived with Qu Zhi in Huang Qing’s house. Only when Chuchu was one year old did she move in with Liang Wen. Therefore, it would be more convenient for Liang Wen to go home. However, the situation was special now, and there was still Sisi. Sisi was still very young, and her body wasn’t as strong as Chuchu’s, so Liang Wen couldn’t bear to see her suffer and run around.
In addition, Huang Qing had made a scene last time, so his impression of Huang Qing was a little bad. He didn’t want Huang Qing to appear in front of Sisi again, but for the sake of family, he couldn’t say or do this.
“Okay.” Liang Wen touched Sisi’s face and agreed hesitantly.
Qu Zhi was sure that he would agree.
Every time Liang Wen returned home, he would be harshly criticized by his relatives. At first, Qu Zhi also thought that it was normal to give red packets to the younger generation, until she realized that the red packets she prepared every year were not enough.
Liang Wen’s parents were divorced, so he followed his father.
Father Liang had found a stepmother for him a long time ago and gave birth to a daughter. She had never appeared in Liang Wen’s life since then. During the new year, Liang Wen only asked someone to bring him some cigarettes and alcohol before following Qu Zhi home.
“Mommy, are you still busy?” Chuchu tilted her head and frowned as she looked at Qu Zhi.
Previously, her mother was so busy that she didn’t even attend the parent-teacher meeting before the winter break. It was her father who came to pick her up. Chuchu didn’t want her mother to be so busy during the winter break. If that happened, she wouldn’t be able to accompany her during the new year.
Qu Zhi blinked at her and turned around. Seeing that Liang Wen had gone to take a shower, she whispered in Chuchu’s ear, “Mom lied!”
Chuchu’s eyes widened.
“Mom has already finished Mom’s work! Why don’t we stay in Jiang City for the holiday? With this Grandmother.”
Aunt Hui looked at Chuchu lovingly.
From the bottom of her heart, Chuchu felt that this Grandma was much better than her previous Grandma! Besides, she had so many friends in Jiang City and Sister Song Mei. It would be so convenient for her to play!
Chuchu’s big eyes kept spinning. Of course, she agreed!
However, wasn’t lying a bad thing?
Chuchu held her head and thought for a while before telling the truth, “I want to explain it to my Father. We can’t lie.
Then, she ran to the bathroom to wait for Liang Wen.
When Liang Wen came out, he saw Chuchu squatting at the door like a cat and was shocked.
“Dad! Let’s stay in Jiang City and spend the new year with Grandma!”
“Alright.” Liang Wen felt that it was strange. Didn’t he just agree to it? “Let’s go out and eat something delicious.”
“Yay!” Only then did Chuchu feel relieved.
I’m still the best. A good child doesn’t lie!
Liang Wen didn’t go back on his word and promised Qu Zhi to spend the new year in Jiang City. After that, he never mentioned going back to spend the new year.
Huang Qing couldn’t hold it in anymore.
Today was New Year’s Eve, but not only was Qu Zhi not home, she didn’t even call. In the past, she would be packing up at home at this time in preparation for the New Year’s guests.
What was she up to this time?
However, she had learned her lesson from the last few times she was rejected. She was worried that Qu Zhi would be angry again, so she decided not to come back. So, she called Liang Wen.
Liang Wen was holding Chuchu and watching TV. The TV played Jackie Chen’s Drunken Fist 1, and Chuchu was engrossed in it.
As a result, when Huang Qing’s voice came from the phone, she immediately sat up straight and pricked up her ears to listen to Huang Qing.
