Chapter 120 (2/2)
Let alone, when they were caught red-handed by the girl’s own family members!
Too awkward!
However, Qin Lang naturally wouldn’t shrink back at such situation, otherwise Jiang Xueqing would have to bear enormous pressure by herself and Qin Lang wouldn’t be able to forgive himself if that happened.
The group of people walked over, holding the torches. Qin Lang roughly realized these people's ident.i.ty, apart from Jiang Xueqing’s parents, the others should be her father’s co-workers and other neighbours, there was also the gate guard uncle in the group, this was why there was no one inside the dependents’ courtyard’s guard room. They all were lending a hand to look for Jiang Xueqing.
After all, Jiang Xueqing was machinery dependents’ courtyard’s ‘courtyard flower’, the world wasn’t too safe these days, Jiang Xueqing would always return home on time before, but tonight she was late and she hadn’t even called home. So, the anxious Jiang Xueqing’s father, Jiang Guoliang, and mother, Liu Yuzhen, organized a ‘lookout movement’ tonight, they searched to no avail, and hadn’t imagined that when they returned, they would catch her red-handed. Yeah, saying ‘caught red-handed’ was pretty fitting.
“Uncles, aunts, I am sorry——”
Qin Lang rushed to apologize, his tone was completely sincere, “I am sorry for making you worry. You can blame tonight’s matters on me, I am Jiang Xueqing’s schoolmate, I recently partic.i.p.ated in school of arts training, but my talent is not good, I couldn’t follow teacher’s several dance moves today, so I asked schoolmate Jiang Xueqing to coach me. It resulted in us forgetting the time, and missing the bus, so we walked the whole way back. In short, uncle, aunt, it was all because of me, please don’t blame Jiang Xueqing. Yes, on the way, Jiang Xueqing wanted to call her home, but all the stores on the way were closed and we couldn’t find any public phones…....”
Jiang Xueqing was truly amazed by Qin Lang’s ability to tell lies, this guy’s lies were continuous like the Yangtze River or the Yellow River, it wasn’t exaggerated and there were not anything missing from it. Of course, what was even more important was Qin Lang’s att.i.tude and tone, that really showed politeness, modesty and manners; by greeting with ‘uncles and aunts’, he had made people feel sweet, so-called don’t hit a smiling person, seeing Qin Lang’s behavior, this group of simple and honest old workers’ felt their anger disappearing.
“Little Qing, remember to return home early in the future! You have always been an intelligent girl, how could you not have paid attention today…...be more attentive later, don’t worry your parents.” One of the middle-aged aunts reminded Jiang Xueqing, but her tone was very warm, and it was just an elder’s warning.
Jiang Xueqing’s parents kept a straight face from the beginning, in one aspect, they had been worried their daughter had met a mishap, but in another aspect, Qin Lang and Jiang Xueqing had appeared in an ambiguous position in front of them and their old neighbours, they were worried some people would gossip. Fortunately, this kid was clever, no matter if he was really telling the truth or lies, he had taken the responsibility for it, and allowed Jiang Xueqing to have a ‘clean name’, and prevented others from making gossips about it.
Jiang Xueqing’s father, Jiang Guoliang originally wanted to fiercely reprimand Qin Lang, but seeing that Qin Lang’s behaviour was pretty good, he changed his decision, he said with a serious expression: “Young man, pay a bit more attention in the future! Alright, it is already late, you need to return home, otherwise your parents might also get worried.”
“Young man, be safe on the road.” Jiang Xueqing’s mother, Liu Yuzhen unexpectedly gave a concerned thought.
“Thank you, uncle, aunt.” Qin Lang smiled and took his leave, he really resembled an innocent and guiltless good student.
Since Jiang Xueqing had come back safely, other people also gradually left for their homes.
After all the people had gone away, Liu Yuzhen whispered in a low voice: “Little Qing, that student just now is really, only your schoolmate?”
“Mother——he is truly, only a schoolmate!” Jiang Xueqing said, her face turning red.
Jiang Guoliang coughed dryly: “Little Qing, you are about to take entrance examination, you need to put strict requirements of yourself! As for other matters, it should wait till you enter University, no, after you graduate from University!”
“Guoliang, why are you being so serious…….what graduating university, I was almost little Qing’s age when you married me, you would stroll around our village’s entrance everyday……”
“Cough~I am educating the children.”
“Haha~~” Jiang Xueqing laughed, she finally felt like she had avoided a calamity.
A family of three walked through the peaceful dependents’ courtyard’s road, the bright street lamps hanging on the plane trees on the both sides of the road pulled the shadows of the three to a long distance.
