Chapter 269 (1/2)

Compared with some yellowed and dilapidated corridors in the corridor, Bruce's house has obviously been simply decorated. The wall is painted with a layer of clean paint and hung with various photos of his family. The air is filled with a faint smell of materials. If Zheng Jianguo hadn't lived in a new house for some time, I'm afraid I couldn't find it.

Cagney standing in front of him looks ordinary. Of course, according to American standards, Bruce's double eyelids are not obvious on his face.

When his father patted him on the shoulder and introduced him to Zheng Jianguo, Cagney's eyebrows were much more disapproving than curious. Just considering that there were other adults nearby, he pulled the corners of his mouth, showed a false smile and leaned out his hand: ”nice to meet you, Zheng -”

”Doctor, Jianguo is now a double doctor -”

Bruce said quickly. Zheng Jianguo shook hands with Cagney and smiled. He was shy and smiled for a long time.

Bruce had patted Cagney on the shoulder, smiled at Zheng Jianguo and said, ”Zheng, please follow me. Here are some friends who want to know you. Cagney, don't run around!”

”OK, Dad!”

The smile on his face was completely restrained. Cagney glanced at Zheng Jianguo and turned into the living room. He saw that cousin Jessica and sister Martha were standing by the wall. They looked like they had just peeped and were afraid of being found. He shrugged and said, ”you see, Dad regarded Zheng as an adult.”

”Is Zheng really Dr. Shuangliao?”

Jessica stroked her long wine red hair beside her ears, and her dark blue eyes were full of looking color. Cagney shrugged and sat directly on the brand-new sofa, put her feet on the tea table in front of her, and said with a shake: ”Dad said that, it should be true --”

”You should be polite to Zheng. Don't think his age is similar to yours, and you don't respect him. Cagney, if you really want to be a doctor, you should pay more attention! Don't make mistakes like today. Let him take a taxi. ”

Catlin put the two fruit trays on the tea table, looked into the study and said it. She warned Cagney again. Then she saw Jessica and her daughter Martha next to her. After scanning them, she explored her hands and sorted out the hairpins on their heads. Her expression was much softer: ”from today on, you will all become ladies, So Martha, you can be popular at the French high school in New York, and Jessica will start her college life -- ”

”OK, mom!”

”OK, aunt!”

Seeing Martha answer, Jessica blinked her blue eyes and said.

Only after Catlin nodded did she enter the nearby kitchen. Cagney, who was watching the TV, turned his head and looked at them. His eyes swept over Jessica's Sapphire like eyes and looked at Martha, who tried to look like a lady. He couldn't help bursting out his rebellious character: ”do you feel that your aunt and mother are going to introduce you two to Zheng as girlfriends?”

”No, they just don't want us to lose their face, which will embarrass them. The reason why the tuition fee of our school is not worse than that of medical school is not because this is the upper east side of Manhattan, next to central park or fifth avenue. We can't lose face here -”

Feeling the provocative meaning in Cagney's tone, Jessica secretly scolded a fool in her heart, but considering that she grew up in this family after all, she smiled: ”instead of the previous lower east side, I heard that the house price here will only rise or fall.”

”I think Jessica, you don't have to pretend to be a lady. As long as you smile at Zheng or other men, they will be fascinated by you -”

Looking at the cousin's way of speaking and sitting posture, Cagney sat up quickly and came to her side. He didn't want the latter to move slightly, open the distance and smile: ”although appearance is very important, it also needs a brain.”

”My brother is still a little smart, but I don't know if he smokes too much. I think he's still under the age of 18 like us. He can lose his temper and express his dissatisfaction with his parents -”

After picking up the eyebrows with heavy makeup, Martha said in a young and mature tone, then glanced at Cagney's sitting posture, flashed the work assigned to him by his father today, and continued to say: ”then don't worry about being driven out of the house. You need to raise your own college tuition for the next four years, or you can't complete your college education because you can't afford the tuition, You can only be a worker in a factory or a waiter in a fast food restaurant. ”

”Cousin Cagney, you don't want that, do you?”

Jessica looked at Martha curiously. She didn't expect that the latter would take out what they had said in private. For fear of provoking the dissatisfaction of the, she continued: ”especially if you still want to take a preparatory course in medicine during college, you can go to medical school after graduation - even if your uncle and aunt are willing to provide tuition for you, even if you study well, You will also become a doctor like Zheng in eight years. ”

”Eight years. You'll be 26 years old by then. It's really a long time.”

Martha subconsciously said that Cagney quickly took his feet away from the tea table and sat up straight. It seemed that after being moved, she looked at them and said curiously, ”have you two talked about me in private?”

”To be exact, I'm trying to persuade you. It's not because you have any charm, especially when your uncle asked you to pick up Zheng. You didn't receive it. But when you came back, you still felt that he made a fool of you and made you complain by your uncle and aunt. Do you want to vent your anger on Zheng?”

Jessica blinked her blue eyes at Cagney and said, but soon found disapproval on the other party's face. Even if she leaned out her hand and said, ”you feel you have no face, but have you considered the face of adults? If you think your face is bigger than theirs, they won't care what you think, because it means you're still naive.

Now the study is the most important friend of my uncle. When Zheng came, he first introduced you to him. It is likely that my uncle was afraid that Zheng left a bad impression and explained that he didn't receive him well. Then he took him to the study, but what about you? Do you feel wronged? You want to ruin this housewarming dinner for your family? ”

”You, this is what you think?”

Cagney seemed to have been punched in the face and stared at Jessica incredulously. Unexpectedly, the latter quickly nodded and said, ”people only know how to cherish when they lose. Whenever I see you arguing with your uncle and aunt, I regret that I treated my parents that way. Unfortunately, I don't have a chance now -”
