Chapter 392 Meeting the Parents
"ah???!!!"
Ye Hang was so scared that he chopped the pig bones with a knife, splashing gravy all over Fan Xiaolin's face.
She glanced outside and tried to calm herself. "It's okay, it's okay. I've seen a lot of people and the world, so it's understandable for young people to take some detours. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. What did he do?"
"kill."
"..."
Ye Hang picked up the knife and was about to leave. "I'll ask him how much money he has to give to leave my daughter."
"Hey, hey, hey, Mom, calm down!" Fan Xiaolin quickly blocked the kitchen door and took the shiny knife from Ye Hang's hand, "Listen to my explanation!"
in the living room.
Fan Yongcheng ate peanuts while chatting with Chen Zhuo about family matters.
"Xiao Zhuo, it's thanks to you that Xiaolin was reporting on the news," he poured some wine for Chen Zhuo, "If you hadn't been with her all the time, we would have been worried. Thank you."
This is the first time that Chen Zhuo has gone to a girl's home to meet her parents since he was a child.
Before this, let alone meeting their parents, I had never even been in a relationship.
Although Fan Yongcheng looked honest and amiable, Chen Zhuo still felt Ye Hang's vigilance towards him.
He was also very nervous at the moment, even his hands were cold.
"Uncle, please don't say that." Despite being nervous, he tried to speak openly. "Hyolin is the girl I want to protect. Although I know she doesn't need my protection, I am satisfied as long as I can be by her side. I respect her thoughts on everything else."
Fan Yongcheng is also a veteran reporter, and his vision is as sharp as that of a criminal policeman.
He saw that although Chen Zhuo looked introverted and shy, his eyes and voice were very steady, and he couldn't help but have a better impression of him.
"Have you ever been with other girls before this?" Fan Yongcheng asked tentatively. "A handsome and steady guy like you, people would ask for your WeChat ID even when you walk down the street, right?"
Chen Zhuo shook his head and told the truth, "I've never been in a relationship. I've tried to get along with girls before, but I always failed."
"How did it fail?"
"Because I've been in jail. I killed my stepfather when I was seventeen and spent several years in prison."
Fan Yongcheng's expression changed slightly.
He put down his drink and adjusted his glasses.
Fortunately, he was an experienced reporter who had seen many storms and had interviewed all kinds of vicious criminals. Although he was surprised, he was not afraid.
He was about to ask what was going on when he heard an argument coming from the kitchen behind him.
Fan Xiaolin and Ye Hang were also arguing over this matter.
"No!" Ye Hang listened to the whole thing and still firmly rejected it. "Absolutely not! I said we need a mental evaluation, so we need a mental evaluation! Otherwise, if you stay in the same room with him, do you want me and your dad to sleep on the edge of a knife every day?"
Fan Xiaolin argued, "Chen Zhuo was forced into a desperate situation. His stepfather abused his mother all the time. If he hadn't taken action that night, both he and his mother would have been beaten to death!"
"You believe what he says? What he says is true?" Ye Hang retorted, "A woman's IQ drops to zero when she's in love. I think you're just trying to get into someone's mood and you've even deceived yourself! I won't agree to this!"
Fan Xiaolin sorted out his thoughts.
"Don't worry, Mom. I didn't believe him," she continued, lowering her voice. "I know which prison he's in. I even asked his former guards, and they all said he was a nice guy, hardworking, down-to-earth, and quiet. I only dared to take action after doing a background check, and he doesn't even know. Do you really think I'm a love-brained idiot? I'm an investigative reporter. I'm a professional at investigating people, okay?"
"Really?" Ye Hang looked at her doubtfully. "Which instructor? I'll ask your dad to ask someone."
Fan Xiaolin directly reported the name, "Bao Zhen, just go ask my dad."
Hearing such an affirmative answer, Ye Hang felt relieved.
"Is he really mentally healthy?" she was still worried. "How can you prove he doesn't have manic depression, bipolar disorder, or something like that?"
Fan Xiaolin has never mentioned this to Chen Zhuo.
On the one hand, based on daily interactions and the understanding of his friends and colleagues, Chen Zhuo is definitely a reliable young man.
On the other hand, this does hurt his self-esteem. Chen Zhuo is an introverted and sensitive person. It is really difficult for him to undergo a mental evaluation to prove that he is harmless.
Thinking of this, Fan Xiaolin said to her mother, "Why don't you play the good cop this time? Go and talk to him and get him a doctor to test him."
Ye Hang pointed at her helplessly and shook his hand, "Okay!"
She acted decisively, turned around and opened the kitchen door, and then saw a handsome and clean face.
Next to him was Fan Yongcheng with an innocent look on his face.
"Uh...Xiao Chen..."
Ye Hang stood there awkwardly.
She had to admit that the boy was indeed good-looking, and seeing his face, her anger subsided.
The more beautiful the appearance, the more dangerous it is. She has seen similar news many times, so she will never be soft-hearted.
"Chen Zhuo?" Fan Xiaolin's heart skipped a beat. "You, you heard everything?"
Chen Zhuo smiled apologetically at her, "It's okay, I wanted to come and explain it to you myself. I heard you guys talking, so I didn't feel comfortable knocking on the door..."
Fan Yongcheng nodded on the side.
"You heard what we just said," Ye Hang coughed, "Xiao Chen, Xiaolin is our only daughter. I can't just give her to another man. Besides, you have a criminal record. How can you prove that you are sincere to her and not trying to use her to climb the social ladder, or just satisfy your physical desires?"
These words hit the sore spot, and even Fan Xiaolin, who was used to being aggressive, found it irritating.
But Ye Hang simply pointed out the hidden dangers that no one dared to mention.
The kitchen was silent.
Only the soup on the stove was bubbling.
Chen Zhuo was not good at speaking to begin with, and after being interrogated so sharply by Ye Hang, his heartbeat quickened and his face turned pale.
"Chen Zhuo..."
Just as Fan Xiaolin was about to step forward, Ye Hang stopped him behind him.
The two elders looked at Chen Zhuo in silence, wanting to see how he would react under such high pressure.
About two or three minutes passed.
Chen Zhuo finally spoke, "Auntie, I understand your and uncle's concerns. I will go for a mental evaluation tomorrow, and then I will find a chance to make an appointment with my former prison instructor. He can prove that I am not a bad person..."
"As for what you said, that I used Hyolyn to climb the ladder, that I exploited her, I've never thought of that, but I can't prove it myself. If you don't believe me, you can continue to test me. I don't mind at all."
Ye Hang and Fan Yongcheng looked at each other.
Chen Zhuo's words actually changed their minds.
The two elders have been writing all their lives and are already familiar with nonsense, formal words and nice words.
However, Chen Zhuo did not say a single nice word, but instead gave a solution without any evasiveness or beating around the bush.
Quite pragmatic.

"Don't be nervous, Xiao Zhuo," Fan Yongcheng began to smooth things over. "Her mother just has a strong personality. She means no harm. Let's go and have a couple more drinks."
