Kamen Rider: Damn! I'm surrounded by beauties

Chapter 489:

When Zheng Ziyan heard what her father said, she immediately slammed the table, her eyes wide open: "Dad! What nonsense are you talking about!"

She was so angry that her cheeks turned red, and she hit Gu Yi with her elbow:

&34;Please explain!&34;

Gu Yi was almost bounced up by this collision, and quickly replied:

"Uncle, Zi Yan came to work with me voluntarily. I definitely didn't force her!"

At this point he swallowed and said in a very sincere voice:

"Whether Zi Yan wants to stay or leave, I respect her decision."

Father Zheng narrowed his eyes, and his sharp gaze scraped across Gu Yi's face like a knife. Gu Yi felt a chill on his back, as if he was being stared at by some kind of beast, and even his breathing became lighter unconsciously.

&34;Hmph.&34;

Zheng's father snorted coldly and was about to continue to attack, but Zheng's mother came over at the right time with a plate of braised pork ribs:

"Okay, okay, let's eat first. The food is getting cold."

"Yeah! Let's eat, come and sit down!"

With her mother's help to smooth things over, Zheng Ziyan immediately urged Gu Yi to sit down. Only after Gu Yi sat down did she feel a little relieved.

However, Zheng Ziyan's father's eyes were still as sharp as before, making Gu Yi nervous again.

Only after seeing other people picking up their chopsticks did he dare to take a few mouthfuls of rice to calm his nerves.

Zheng Ziyan's mother greeted Gu Yi gently and handed him a piece of pork ribs:

&34;Xiao Gu, don't just eat rice, try Auntie's cooking. &34;

"Thank you, Auntie."

Gu Yi felt as if he had been pardoned and quickly lowered his head to eat.

Zheng Ziyan leaned close to Gu Yi's ear and lowered her voice:

&34;How do you feel? ? &34;

Gu Yi smiled bitterly and replied:

"It feels more tiring than fighting Gurongi... It's like dancing on the edge of a knife."

&34;Then you have to work hard~&34;

Zheng Ziyan winked slyly.

"As long as I can get over this hurdle with my dad, I won't be afraid of any Gurongi in the future."

"Ahem!" Father Zheng coughed twice and glanced over fiercely.

&34;Don't whisper while eating! &34;

Zheng Ziyan pouted, reluctantly separated from Gu Yi, and sat up straight.

Gu Yi picked up the vegetables in front of him tremblingly, not even daring to extend his chopsticks far away.

Mother Zheng couldn't bear to see this, so she gave him a few more pieces of meat and said, "Don't be polite, Xiao Gu. Eat more."

"Thank you, thank you, Auntie..." Gu Yi was flattered.

Zheng Ziyan also chimed in:

&34;Just relax and treat this place as your home. &34;

"As your own family?!" Zheng's father slammed his chopsticks down, his face gloomy.

&34;Our relationship isn't that good yet!&34;

The atmosphere at the table solidified instantly.

Gu Yi froze in place, and the meat on his chopsticks almost fell off. Zheng Ziyan glared at her father in dissatisfaction and was about to refute,

Zheng's father took the initiative:

"I heard that you are only the second largest shareholder in the company? The big boss is a woman?"

Gu Yi's heart skipped a beat: "Yes..."

&34;Moreover,&34;Father Zheng&;s eyes became sharper.

"It is said that you have an 'unclear' relationship with that female boss?"

He deliberately emphasized the last four words.

"So you're just a gigolo? You're living off another woman's money, and then you're dating my daughter?"

"Dad!"

Zheng Ziyan stood up suddenly, her face pale.

&34;You've gone too far!&34;

Mother Zheng also frowned: "Old Zheng!"

Father Zheng was unmoved and stared at Gu Yi coldly:

&34;I want to hear it from him himself.&34;

Gu Yi's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. He took a deep breath to calm himself down, then put down his chopsticks and answered:

"Uncle, you misunderstood. Major shareholder Shen Huixing and I are childhood sweethearts. Our two families have been friends since our fathers' generation, so she is the one who helped me."

His voice was steady, but his fingertips unconsciously stroked the edge of the bowl:

&34;And I didn't get promoted by connections. The script I wrote was recognized by Comet, so the company decided to invest. In addition, the "Kamen Rider Kuuga" manga I drew also sold well... I make money by my own ability, so between her and I...&34;

Having said this, Gu Yi suddenly paused.

The scene of Shen Huixing bidding him farewell with tears in her eyes appeared before his eyes - the stubborn girl said "I'll wait for you" with red eyes, and then left without looking back.

His heart suddenly tightened.

&34;...We are just childhood sweethearts.&34;

Gu Yi finally said in a low voice.

Zheng Ziyan immediately chimed in:

"That's right! In this world, people are either men or women, and interpersonal relationships are either acquaintances or strangers. Isn't it normal for men and women to cooperate and for acquaintances to support each other?"

After saying this, she looked at her father confidently and said, "Dad, didn't you rely on friends to help you sell your paintings? Didn't you also help younger generations? Some of them were female students!"

"Zi Yan! What nonsense are you talking about!"

When Zheng's father heard his daughter give such an example, his face immediately turned pale and he yelled, "How can it be the same?!"

Zheng Ziyan turned her head unconvinced:

&34;What's different?&34;

Father Zheng took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and stared at Gu Yi:

&34;I heard you used to run a painting shop? &34;

Gu Yi nodded:

&34;Yes, I sold my own paintings and opened a restaurant, but I closed both stores to concentrate on writing scripts.&34;

"I heard from my student Li Yunsi that Li Yunsi praised your talent a lot."

At this point, Zheng's father's eyes became more sharp.

&34;I am very curious, what is your relationship with her?&34;

As soon as these words came out, Gu Yi's chopsticks fell on the table with a "click".

Zheng's father pressed on and continued to ask: "The tone in which Li Yunsi mentioned you was not like that of an ordinary friend. You wouldn't..."

His voice suddenly rose.

"You're flirting with my daughter while you're having an affair with my most proud student?!"

"Two-timing?!"

Gu Yi's sweat broke out in a stream.

Zheng Ziyan whispered: "There are more than two, actually six..."

&34;Hiss, hiss, hiss!&34;

Zheng Ziyan's sudden finishing move almost made Gu Yi spit out his food. In order to prevent himself from spitting it out, he quickly swallowed his breath and almost choked himself to death. Zheng Ziyan realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly patted Gu Yi on the back to calm him down.

Gu Yi took a gulp of water and forced himself to swallow the rice stuck in his throat. He couldn't help but glance at Zheng Ziyan, using his eyes to indicate that she was talking nonsense.

Zheng Ziyan lowered her head embarrassedly, but the corners of her mouth were raised and she looked like she wanted to laugh.

Gu Yi expressed his helplessness and then took a deep breath and replied:

"Uncle, Yunsi and I are just good friends. We both like painting and have a common language for abstract art, so we can chat well. She and I..."

He paused, and Li Yunsi's affectionate eyes flashed through his mind. His chest tightened inexplicably, but he still added firmly:

&34;It's definitely not the relationship you think it is.&34;

Zheng Ziyan immediately chimed in:

"That's right! Dad, I'm your daughter and I'm not a fool. How could I allow him to change his mind?"

She narrowed her eyes and pinched Gu Yi's waist hard with her fingers.

, &34;If he dares to mess around, I will be the first to bury him! &34;

"Hiss! !" Gu Yi gasped in pain, but he didn't dare to hide. He could only nod his head: "Yes, yes..."

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Zheng's mother quickly tried to smooth things over:

"Mr. Zheng, I think Xiao Gu is quite honest, and Yun Si is a sensible kid who won't do anything rash."

She winked at her husband.

&34;Don't scare the child.&34;

Father Zheng snorted coldly, leaned close to his wife's ear, and whispered in Fujian dialect:

"If you don't act tough, how can you tell if he's sincere? Do you think our daughter is so easy to get?"

Zheng's mother also refuted in Fujian dialect:

&34;Don't scare people away!&34;

&34;If he is scared off so easily, then he is unreliable!&34;

Father Zheng stared.

&34;Don't worry about it, I know my limits!&34;

Gu Yi didn't understand what they were saying at all, and could only look at Zheng Ziyan blankly:

&34;What are your parents talking about?&34;

Zheng Ziyan curled her lips:

&34;Speaking in Fujian dialect, talking about things back home. &34;

She picked up a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into Gu Yi's bowl.

&34;Ignore them and eat more.&34;

Gu Yi had no choice but to lower his head and eat, trying to use food to relieve his tension.

After everyone ate a few mouthfuls of food and the atmosphere calmed down a bit, Zheng's father spoke again, this time with a softer tone than before:

"Xiao Gu, what's your family like? What do your parents do? How many brothers and sisters do you have?"

Gu Yi put down his chopsticks and answered seriously:

"I am an only child. My parents now run a sports shoe factory, specializing in the production of sports shoes with wheels to help people increase their chances of escape when they encounter Gurongi."

Father Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Oh? This is quite practical."

Gu Yi continued, "As for future plans..."

He glanced at Zheng Ziyan.

&34;I will continue to write scripts, help the company produce more film and television works, and strive to make a lot of money. &34;

Father Zheng nodded and suddenly changed the subject:

"Then... have you ever considered going back to Fujian with Zi Yan?"

&34;Huh?&34;

Gu Yi was stunned.

Zheng Ziyan also looked up suddenly: "Dad?!"

Father Zheng's expression became serious as before and he continued:

"The frequency of Gurongji in Tianjin is much higher than in other cities. I have studied the data and found that there has been no Gurongji in Fujian so far, so the safety factor is higher."

He looked at Gu Yi, his tone unquestionable.

"Since you are Ziyan's boyfriend, you should also want her to be safe, right?"

Gu Yi opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Zheng Ziyan immediately refuted:

"Dad! Are you asking Gu Yi to give up his career?"

"You don't have to be in Tianjin to write a script." Father Zheng calmly drank a sip of tea.

&34;With a computer, it can be handled. Remote collaboration is now common. &34;

He stared at Gu Yi.

"As the second largest shareholder of the company, don't you even have this much freedom?"

Gu Yi's forehead was covered with cold sweat: "This..."

Then Zheng's father continued to put pressure on him:

"If you are really talented, I can use my connections to invest in you in Fujian, help you start over, and become the boss of your own film and television company."

At this point, his tone slowed down, but with a tone that could not be refused.

&34;This way, Zi Yan can be with you and go back to her hometown with us, which is the best of both worlds.&34;

After hearing this, Zheng's mother actually nodded:

&34;That&34;s one way to do it.&;

She looked at Gu Yi, her eyes gentle but scrutinizing.

&34;Xiao Gu, what do you think?&34;

Gu Yi looked like he wanted to die: "......"

What is this? The ultimate multiple choice question?!

He couldn't help but look at Zheng Ziyan and found that she also had a confused look on her face. She obviously didn't expect her father to do this.

Just when the atmosphere was tense...

&34;Ding! Ding! Ding!&34;

Everyone's cell phone rang with shrill alarms at the same time!

Gu Yi grabbed the phone suddenly, and a red warning popped up on the screen:

[Emergency alert! Gurongi appeared in the commercial street of the eastern district of Tianjin! Please evacuate nearby residents immediately! ]
