You are my wife, don't doubt it!

Chapter 133 Meet the father-in-law

2023-03-13

A middle-aged man was sitting on a chair in the middle of the room.

The room also smelled heavily of cigarette smoke.

The man was about 40 to 50 years old, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, his hair was slightly gray and parted in the middle. He was wearing a beige jacket, which looked simple yet elegant.

He was holding a cigarette in his hand, with the cigarette cone burning long. Next to his shiny leather shoes were piled with extinguished cigarette butts.

? Even if there is no ashtray in my house, you can't throw it on the ground. What kind of manners is that?

Wait, that's not the point now.

Xiao Yao clenched the handle of the kitchen knife in his hand.

Seeing Xiao Yao come in, the man quickly examined the boy in front of him, then threw down his cigarette butt and stomped it out.

"Sorry, the door was not locked, so I went in and waited. You are Xiao Yao, right?"

Xiao Yao was very sure that he locked the door when he went out, and his obsessive-compulsive disorder attacked him. He pulled the door three times to the left and four times to the right, a total of seven times.

However, he did not object audibly, but simply gripped his weapon tighter.

"Xiao Xiao, my daughter Shen Jie has been bothering me recently. I want to thank you first." The man said gently: "Then can you tell me where she is now?"

This is Shen Jie's father!? My father-in-law!?

Xiao Yao was startled and almost called him dad, but of course, he didn't.

How did he find this place?!

Does he know what happened last night?

Could it be that Shen Jie has already... Could it be those gossipy women in the literature club?

I'm careless!

Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Xiao Yao's forehead.

He tried hard to force a stiff smile and politely and calmly placed the kitchen knife in his hand on the bed behind him.

"Hello, uncle." Xiao Yao finally spoke.

"I'm sorry for coming here in a presumptuous way today, Xiao Xiao, please don't mind." Father Shen bowed very slightly.

I was really surprised: "You are exaggerating. It's not that serious. It's not that serious."

The middle-aged man stood up and gently placed a filled envelope on the dining table. From the opening of the envelope, one could see that there was red inside.

Here it comes, here it comes, the cliché plot from TV dramas is coming: I’ll give you 500 million and you leave my daughter.

But I don't think it looks like there are 500 million.

In fact, when Xiao Yao saw this kind of plot before, he felt very unlucky if he put himself in the shoes of the girl’s father.

Oh, you took my cabbage, so instead of killing you, I have to reward you?

Wait, don't be anxious, stay calm, you must stay calm.

Now is not the time to daydream.

Calm down! If Shen Jie had been abducted, her father wouldn't have to stay here waiting for her.

This money is for you to buy it yourself!

Thinking that Shen Jie should not have been captured yet, Xiao Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

What a joke! Is your precious eldest daughter, who is as beautiful as a flower, only worth such a small amount of money?

Of course, adding money is not an option.

He thought about it carefully and asked cautiously: "What are you doing?"

"Xiao Xiao, this is what you deserve, and I believe that you are worth much more than this - as long as you are willing to do a little favor for me as a father."

"I really don't understand what you mean." Xiao Yao certainly understood what he meant.

"Johns!" Shen Jie's father seemed to glance at the closed closet door, and then called out a name outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, a foreigner with a high nose and blond hair came in.

Oh shit, where did this guy come from?

It seems that this is the "Uncle Johns" that Shen Jie often mentioned. I have heard of him for a long time.

This Uncle Johns looked to be at least 1.9 meters tall, well-mannered, and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He lowered his head slightly when he entered the room.

Johns opened a folding stool and placed it behind Xiao Yao's butt, then very politely invited Xiao Yao to sit down.

Shen Jie's father then introduced, "This is Johns, my housekeeper. He has also watched Xiao Jie grow up since she was a child. He is one of us. Xiao Xiao, please sit down. Make yourself at home. Don't be shy."

After saying that, he sat back in his chair.

What are you talking about? What do you mean just treat yourself as if you were at home? Isn’t this my home?

Xiao Yao really couldn't understand what this future Taishan was up to, nor could he figure out what his identity was in his eyes. He could only take things one step at a time.

It shouldn't be a problem to sit down first.

As soon as Xiao Yao sat down, the butler Johns turned around and closed the door. He put his hands behind his back and stood solemnly behind Xiao Yao.

This position clearly shows that they are going to conduct an interrogation!

Xiao Yao's heart was pounding. Wife, daughter, you must not try to get out at this moment.

Well, if only my daughter came out, it doesn’t seem like a big problem?

"Xiao Xiao, do you want to smoke?" Shen Jie's father changed his tone to casual, and handed over an exquisite metal cigarette case.

"No, no, I'm underage." Xiao Yao hurriedly shook his hands to refuse.

"Then you don't mind me...?" Shen Jie's father took a cigarette out of the cigarette box.

"Please do as you please." Xiao Yao said this, but he was unhappy in his heart - if my mind works, where do the cigarette butts under your feet come from?

However, when I think about the bad things I did to someone else's daughter last night...

Bro, forget it.

Shen Jie's father lit a cigarette and took two puffs. The smoke filled the air, making his face look a little blurry.

The smell of smoke was so pungent that Xiao Yao had to breathe slowly and in small sips to avoid coughing.

"You're not yet an adult... Xiao Xiao, are you sixteen or seventeen this year?"

"Sixteen."

"Oh, a little younger than Xiaojie," Father Shen nodded, "When I was your age, I also didn't like to be disciplined and often went against my parents."

Xiao Yao laughed dryly, not knowing how to answer.

"How long have you known Xiaojie?"

"It's been... more than a month." Xiao Yao decided to tell the truth - when he didn't know how much information the other party had, telling the truth was the only way to avoid complete failure.

Father Shen was a little surprised: "...How did you two know each other?"

"Just outside the gate of their school." Xiao Yao still answered in a serious tone, carefully avoiding giving away unnecessary information: "I approached her."

"Really? Come on, Xiao Xiao, sit up straight and don't move." Shen Jie's father took out his cell phone abruptly and took a picture of Xiao Yao.

"The current technological progress is incredible." Shen Jie's father looked at the photos displayed on the mobile phone, as if he was talking to Xiao Yao, but also as if he was talking to himself.

"Back then, if we wanted to take pictures, we had to go to a photo studio. The cameras were so big and heavy, and it took us a long time to twist them to take a picture. We didn't know what they looked like after we took them, and we had to develop them before we could see them. Look how convenient it is now. This small thing in the palm of your hand can do the same thing quickly and well. Look how clear it is."

"Uh, yes, that's right." Xiao Yao thought to himself, if you want to keep this for me, there's no need to go through so much trouble, I'll just cooperate.

Father Shen suddenly changed the subject: "But progress also brings new problems. I heard that some teenagers now use this kind of equipment to secretly take pictures, which are hard to detect. They use it to blackmail girls. They rely on their young age and are not afraid of the law. This kind of thing was called hooliganism in the past, and the person would be shot, no matter whether your father is an official or a soldier."

What do you mean by secretly filming and being executed? Where did this come from? Xiao Yao felt that Shen Jie's father's thoughts seemed to diverge to a place that he couldn't keep up with. He blinked and didn't dare to say anything.

"The government is becoming more and more lenient now, and it has condoned too many ignorant bastards. I'm thinking that if these people were caught by me, breaking their legs and throwing them into the mountains would be a good idea. Xiao Xiao, what do you think?"

Xiao Yao glanced at Johns behind him. He seemed not to move, but Xiao Yao just felt a wind behind his head.

Does Shen Jie's father think of himself as a hooligan who uses despicable means to threaten Shen Jie into submission?

How could he come up with such an idea?

However, since you have not committed any crime, you should not accept this conversation.

"Uncle, you may have misunderstood what I meant by chatting her up. That day at the school gate was really the first time I met Shen Jie. Maybe I was abrupt, but it was not what you thought."

"Is that so?" Father Shen lowered his head to think for a few seconds, then raised his head and said, "But Xiao Xiao is indeed very handsome, right, Johns?"

It seemed that Shen Jie's father was speaking to Johns who was standing behind Xiao Yao, but Xiao Yao was clearly aware that these words were definitely not meant for Johns.

"No, I'm just average looking, and I was surprised she gave me this... chance to get to know me." Of course, Shen Tianyun's affairs must not be told, but it's always safer to state incomplete facts than to make them up completely: "Later, I kept looking for her. Shen Jie is a nice person, so she always politely replied to my messages, answered my calls, and occasionally came out to play with me. Later, maybe I was watching her too closely, and she finally gave me the nice guy card."

"Really? Haha. This child is kind-hearted, just like her mother." As if he remembered some interesting things with Shen Jie, Shen Jie's father's smile squeezed his eyes, which were not big to begin with, behind the glasses into a slit.

Xiao Yao also took the opportunity to secretly take a breath and straightened his stiff waist.

"I only have this one daughter... Xiao Jie has been spoiled by me since she was young. She is very spoiled and sometimes lacks sense of propriety and often behaves excessively. She has been living with you these days. Has she caused you a lot of trouble?"

It's not a problem, he just likes to kick people when he's sleeping, likes to hit people at other times, and is a bit irritable when he wakes up...

Xiao Yao was just about to answer "No trouble" when there was a sudden "click" sound from the direction of the wardrobe, which scared Xiao Yao. However, neither Shen Jie's father in front of him nor Johns standing behind him moved.

Could it be that Shen Jie is now trapped in the closet? Otherwise, what is making that noise?

At this moment, Xiao Yao regained his concentration and realized the trap that Shen Jie's father had set in the seemingly casual conversation. If he said it was not a problem, wouldn't it be the same as admitting that Shen Jie did live here?

Anyway, my wife and children are hiding in 2034, and you can’t catch them even if you have supernatural powers!

"Uncle Shen, Shen Jie and I are just ordinary friends, and she has made it clear to me. Besides, men and women should not touch each other, so how could she live with me? Look, my house is small and shabby."

Father Shen waved his hand and said, "Xiao Xiao, you misunderstood. I am not a snobbish person. As long as you two are sincere, I have no objection to your relationship with Xiao Jie. When Xiao Jie comes home, you are welcome to ask her out to play or come to our house as a guest."

He pointed at the thick envelope again and said, "Just consider it as activity funds. Xiao Jie has been spoiled since she was a child. Don't let her suffer any injustice."

If Shen Jie's father is so reasonable, this is certainly a very attractive proposal.

He glanced at the closet subconsciously.

Father Shen keenly caught this tiny movement and a smile of confidence appeared on his face.

Unfortunately, I don’t believe you at all, you old man are so bad!

If you were so easy to talk to, would Shen Jie have to run away from home?

The old man must be cheating me. When Shen Jie returns home... hehe.

"I'm honored to hear you say that, really." Xiao Yao clasped his hands together and shook them, "But we've only known each other for a little over a month, and she's clearly rejected my idea of ​​dating, let alone living in my house. I understand that you're worried about your daughter, but is there some misunderstanding here?"

"Is that so?" Shen Jie's father's tone was calm, but his face was obviously gloomy.

He stood up, threw away his half-smoked cigarette and stomped it out, then said to Xiao Yao: "Xiao Xiao, you weren't home just now, so it was inconvenient for me to move your things. Now that you're back, and you said Xiao Jie doesn't live here, do you mind if we look for her?"

Looking for someone? The police have to show a search warrant.

However, the law is obviously not an option for those who illegally enter private homes.

Besides, didn't you look for it before I came back? This room is so small, how could someone hide there?

Xiao Yao really wanted to complain, but he didn't dare. He could only pretend to be happy. It was useless if he said not to look for it now.

What's more, what puzzled him most now was where did Shen Jie's clothes and things that were originally in the room go?

So, the butler Johns, who had been standing behind Xiao Yao, came out and started to take action, while Shen Jie's father stood there, staring at Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao originally thought that Johns would go straight to the closet, because the only place in the room where a person could hide, besides under the bed, was the closet.

But unexpectedly, he walked to the bed, lifted the sheets, and began to check layer by layer.

Next, there is the desk and drawers.

Is this looking for someone? This is a search!

Xiao Yao wanted to protest, but Johns did his job quickly and beautifully. He tidied up the sheets and quilts that were lifted up, and the tables and drawers that were checked, with extremely professional techniques.

Now, the bed and desk in front of Xiao Yao were in unprecedented order, which made Xiao Yao unable to protest.

Forget it, if you like to watch, I’ll let you watch as much as you want.
