Gem Merchant and Miss Diamond

The moisture on the lips is particularly noticeable.

Lu Qiaowei spoke in a very calm tone, showing no concern or fear, but her voice was like a stone thrown into the lake, causing waves to ripple.

"Your family saw it?" Wen Jinyan looked at her suspiciously, scanning the street with her eyes, people were very recognizable, after all, the eyes staring at them were too sharp.

"Is that your father?" Wen Jinyan asked softly, trying not to put any pressure on Lu Qiaowei.

Lu Qiaowei nodded and held her back, "If we don't go there, my dad must be angry now, so don't let him get in the way."

Although everyone's thinking is not as feudal as before, the folk customs are not open enough to accept same-sex together.

Wen Jinyan watched from a distance. Father Lu came here on a motorcycle. He was wearing a coat. He had a broken face and deep eyes.Wen Jinyan bowed politely to him as a greeting.

Lu Qiaowei felt guilty for a moment, and then said seriously: "You will go back to the hotel later, Qi Yihuan should stay in the same hotel with you, you should stay with her first, did you hear me?"

Wen Jinyan was silent, seeming to pretend not to hear.

Lu Qiaowei held her hand, "The two of us go together, my parents thought you were provoking me, at least let me neutralize it first."

"But what if your parents beat you?" Wen Jinyan also looked back at her seriously, "Then what's the point if I go again?"

"Stupid or not, why is it meaningless? The meaning lies in whether my parents agree with us or not!" Lu Qiaowei said in a relaxed tone: "It's just a joke to say that I was beaten. I'm an adult, and I'm not a child. They How could you hit me?"

"If you go, it will add fuel to the flames, and you will really be beaten."

She dragged Wen Jinyan forward, and after being stared at by her father for a long time, she would get scared no matter how fierce she was. She walked through the lively market and arrived at a small alley, surrounded by vendors, and many people passing by were picking out clothes.

When going up the steps, Lu Qiaowei stood two knots above her, put her hands on her shoulders, and said, "If my parents are determined not to let go, then I'll elope with you."

This is the worst outcome, Wen Jinyan shook her hand instead, "No, trust me."

Lu Qiaowei pursed her lips hard, nodded, and believed her.

Walking home from here, Lu Qiaowei bought two grilled sausages. She originally wanted to buy chestnuts. In winter, there are vendors selling chestnuts everywhere on the small streets, and the aroma can waft for miles.

It's just too cold, Lu Qiaowei is so lazy, if she doesn't peel it when she buys it, Wen Jinyan will definitely peel it for her, and she will start to feel distressed again.

On the way back, Lu Qiaowei sent her dad a message, saying that she had gone home first.

This time Wen Jinyan sent her home, and Lu Qiaowei waved to her downstairs, "You go back early, it will be dark later."

"know."

There was no one at home, Lu Qiaowei was sitting on the sofa, her heart was beating wildly, and many images flashed through her mind, all of which were very "bloody" images of coming out of the closet.She originally planned to tell her parents calmly, but never thought that it would be made public under such circumstances.

After sitting for a while, she went to turn on the light, and there was a knock on the door. She opened the door and saw her dad.

Father Lu's complexion was very bad, it was completely dark, his brows were tense, and if there were special effects, he could see the black air oozing from his body.He pushed the door wide open and glanced coldly at Lu Qiaowei.

Lu Qiaowei's heart tightened, and she took a few steps back. Father Lu took a look into the room and saw no one else, so he calmed down a little.

Father Lu is a very gentle man. He usually treats the two daughters better. He only shows this expression when Lu Qiaowei is too stubborn.

Not long after Lu's father came in, Lu's mother followed behind with the same serious expression, only Lu Haoyang lowered his eyes, looking very pitiful, he should have been reprimanded when he came back.

The air pressure in the family is very low.

Lu's father took off his gloves and sat on the sofa. After a while, his mother also sat down. Both of them were silent, with the same gloomy and disappointed expressions on their expressions.

Although they restrained their emotions, their heavy breathing was exceptionally clear. They were on the verge of anger, but they didn't do anything to Lu Qiaowei.

Lu Qiaowei took a deep breath and said, "Dad, I found a girlfriend named Wen Jinyan, who treats me very well, and I really want to be with her..."

Father Lu interrupted her, the wrinkles on his face looked deep, "You should divide it yourself, there's nothing to talk about, don't even think about some things."

So angry that it raised his voice several degrees.

"Dad, I just want to wait until the new year is over before I tell you about it." Lu Qiaowei bit the bullet and explained, she lowered her head, she couldn't use a single word she had thought of, and now she just wanted to fight for a chance.

Father Lu let out a heavy breath, lit the cigarette, and took a deep puff. He was an old smoker, but he choked on the cigarette.

Lu Qiaowei's heart was beating extremely fast, the words stuck in her throat, and she squeezed out, "Dad, that's my girlfriend, we've been together for a while."

Lu's father coughed many times in a row, and pressed the cigarette into the ashtray. Lu's mother took a look at her and said directly: "Your father and I will not agree to this matter. Don't say too much, it's meaningless."

"Mom, I chased her, so I'm not responsible." Lu Qiaowei said anxiously.

"Do you really think your dad and I are fools? Don't you know anything? It's not like you haven't had a boyfriend? It's not that we don't know whether you like men or women." Lu's mother spoke louder, feeling very emotional Excited, "We just want you to figure it out for yourself. Look at what you did, so we don't want to chill us."

Lu Qiaowei pursed her lips and listened to his mother's training.

Lu's mother said a few words, and her eyes turned red, "Luo Yiyan's mother scolded me close to my face, saying that you cheated on the marriage and engaged in women outside, and your father and I were always scolded by others, why, just guilty. "

"You said you don't want to marry a man, and your father and I won't force you to go on a blind date or put pressure on you. Why don't you understand what I mean with your father? Do you have to piss us off?"

"There's nothing to be guilty of about Luo Yiyan." Lu Qiaowei said in a low voice, "He owed me in the first place, and he also made Xiao San's belly bigger. I can prove it by bringing him into the situation."

Lu Qiaowei moved to her mother's side, but her mother wouldn't let her touch her and stayed away.

Lu's mother said again: "Don't talk about anything else, think about the acceptance of this society for yourself. Your father and I can't accept it. You can say it's feudal or stubborn. This society is like this. The same-sex marriage law has not been passed. You Looking for a woman for a few years, you can't get married, and you have nothing to rely on."

"Don't tell us to give it a try. You are not young, you are 27. In a few years, who is responsible for your 30 and 40 years old, not yourself? Can you afford it? Regret it Not yourself?"

"Look for yourself, how many of them are naturally fond of girls, and they dare not tell their parents, that kind of things are not dared, how dare you?"

This is a fact and a flaw.

Lu Qiaowei was speechless, she didn't expect her mother to say that.

She said seriously: "We won't break up, and you can get married abroad. We will find a way, and the solutions are all thought of."

Lu's mother turned her face away, "Your father and I can't accept it, telling you, a man who can obviously like men, to be with a woman."

"I don't like men anymore." Lu Qiaowei said, "Mom, I don't have any feelings for men."

"Then wait until you feel it, your father and I are not in a hurry." Lu's mother said in a strong tone, "Do you have any thoughts about your future marriage, or are you just playing with others?"

"It's not just for fun, mom, I'm serious." Lu Qiaowei quickly explained.

Lu's mother said directly: "Since it is serious, then I will be responsible to you and her, and finish it now. You are so old, you should know that this is not a child's joke."

"Mom, you don't know her very well. Once you meet her, you will know what kind of person she is." Lu Qiaowei said seriously, "I don't ask you to accept it now, but give me a chance, okay?"

Lu's mother looked at her coldly, it was impossible to give her a chance.

She got up and pulled Dad Lu, and called Lu Haoyang to the room. The sound insulation in the room was not good, so she could hear Mom Lu's reprimand.

The living room suddenly became empty, and the atmosphere became very depressing.

Not being beaten, the situation is much better than expected, but it is also sadder than expected.

Lu Qiaowei was sitting on the sofa. Half an hour later, Lu Haoyang came out of her parents' room, looking a bit miserable. A big boy was reprimanded and dejected.

The siblings looked at each other, not knowing what to say, Lu Haoyang rubbed his eyes and said, "Sister, my parents didn't hit me, I'm fine."

After a while, Lu Yuxi came to call her, "Sister, go to sleep, Mom and Dad, it must be hard to accept for a while. When I came back, Mom also wiped her tears. Her speech was a bit ugly, actually..."

"I understand."

Lu Qiaowei's nose was very sore, and the more she did this, the more difficult it became. She felt that her eloquence was really bad, and she couldn't convince her parents at all, and her mind was still confused.

Her eyes were red with annoyance.

Lu Yuxi came over, squatted down, and held her hand, "Don't blame yourself, this kind of thing is difficult for anyone to deal with. You are just a novice, and it is the first time you like a woman. You should take a good rest and try not to mess with her." Parents are angry."

In the past, Lu's father and Lu's mother were not angry, but there was never a time when they thought about her everywhere and then got angry with her.

Oh, yes, when she was going to marry Luo Yiyan, her parents also considered everything.

Unexpectedly, everyone looked away. In less than half a year, she brought another woman back. How could Lu's parents and mothers not be angry.

Lu Qiaowei sat for a while, looked at her parents' locked room, and cheered herself up: It's okay, we will continue tomorrow, this is a protracted battle, her parents don't understand Wen Jinyan, it would be great if they understood.

The phone flickered on and on, because a special reminder was set for Wen Jinyan, and it would flash every time a message was sent.

Lu Qiaowei typed back: [Don't worry, the one who didn't hit me, how could he hit me? It's just some reasoning. I won't give up. 】

Wen Jinyan: [This should be what I did. 】

Lu Qiaowei: [It's something we do together, the relationship is not for one person, we work hard together.It's just that the process will be very long. 】

Wen Jinyan: [I will wait no matter how long it takes. 】

Lu Qiaowei raised her head, took a breath, and then exhaled, 【I think we will be together for a long time. 】

Wen Jinyan corrected: [Yes, we should, we will always be together. 】

There is nothing wrong with Lu Qiaowei, she will definitely not give up, she typed quickly, and said: 【Come on, cheer me up. 】

At night, tossing and turning.

The lights in the room were turned on and off, Lu Qiaowei got up to drink water, and heard a sound in her parents' room, it was her father sighing.

The water was too cold, and when I swallowed it, my heart felt uncomfortable.

……

The stalemate lasted all night until the next day. Lu's mother cooked early, and Lu Qiaowei ate breakfast at home. Everyone at the table was silent and did not speak.

After eating, Lu Qiaowei scrambled to pack her things, but Lu's mother didn't stop her and let her wash the dishes. During the period, several aunts called her to ask her to go shopping, but Lu's mother refused, while Lu's father sat on the balcony Smoke one after another.

"Mom, why don't you go out for a stroll." Lu Qiaowei wiped her hands, "Look at what you want to add to the house, let's go shopping together, don't let this matter prevent you from having a good New Year."

Lu's father and Lu's mother were unmoved, and Lu Qiaowei said, "Actually, I found out that Luo Yiyan cheated, and half of the reason was her help. She didn't hint at me, so I didn't know at all."

While talking, she kept observing her parents' appearance. Lu's father paused for a while, and then took a big puff. Her mother brought over the handiwork on the balcony and continued to do it.

During the time for a cigarette, Lu's father went back to the room and closed the door. Usually his father has a soft temper. Lu Qiaowei originally planned to make a breakthrough from her father. It is estimated that her father also knew her thoughts, but now his attitude is very tough.

Sitting next to her mother, Lu Qiaowei said, "Mom, in fact, she's in pretty good condition. I won't be insecure if I'm with her."

She proudly said, "Not only can I protect myself, but she can also protect me, so, I have quite a lot of protection, so don't worry about me."

Coming out of the closet is really a lot of courage. First, you have to go through your own hurdles, and then your parents' hurdles.No one doesn't want to go boldly into the sun, just to see if the actual conditions allow it.

Lu Qiaowei felt that she should have a little bit of hope, and she was about to seize this hope and move on, "Mom, she's in pretty good condition, let me tell you what she does, so you can get to know her better."

Lu's mother has been busy with the work at hand, and she doesn't seem to be interested.

Lu Qiaowei tentatively said: "She works at DMD, the luxury Diamond that many bloggers mentioned in the video, the one that makes jewelry."

"As far as this condition is concerned, all men will be dumped a lot. Although my brother is underage, there is a saying that is quite correct. You can't beat a group of people to death just because of one person."

She didn't dare to tell too much, it was too risky, if her parents knew that Wen Jinyan was an executive officer, it was very likely that her parents felt it was inappropriate because of her family status.

After listening to a few words, Mama Lu went back to the room with her things, and when she closed the door, she slammed the door shut to isolate Lu Qiaowei from the outside, and stopped listening to her at all.

Lu Qiaowei wanted to knock on the door. When she reached the door, she raised her hand and lowered it. She comforted herself thinking that her mother must have been moved, so she went to the room.

After a simple meal in the afternoon, Lu's father and Lu's mother were annoyed by Lu Qiaowei's nagging, so they were ready to go out, saying that they had an appointment with Lu Qiaowei's aunt.

It’s not good to come out of the closet. It’s okay to deal with my parents, but it’s really okay to deal with a lot of relatives. I’m afraid that if I say something wrong, I won’t be able to ease the relationship with my family in this life.

"Mom, I'll go with you."

"No need." Mother Lu refused.

Lu Qiaowei followed up cheekily, no matter how disgusted his mother was, she wouldn't tell her to get lost on the street, and walked out of the community, and saw a familiar car.

She was ruthless and said: "Mom, I called a car, how tired I am to walk there. Don't sit down, it's a waste of money."

Lu's mother and Lu's father had worked diligently and frugally all their lives, and she was obsessed with this. The two sat in the back, and Lu Qiaowei went to the passenger seat, and heard her mother mutter, "The car is so good, it will come out during the Chinese New Year pull people."

Lu Qiaowei blinked, and the car drove out of the community. While waiting for the red light, suddenly, Lu's father yelled sharply behind him, "Lu Qiaowei!"

Obviously, Dad Lu recognized that the driver was Wen Jinyan. Lu Qiaowei took a look in the rearview mirror. Dad Lu's face was very ugly, and Mom Lu next to him also became angry.

We have to meet each other, Lu's parents and Lu's mother don't ask Wen Jinyan to come in, they can only arrange to meet outside.

Lu Qiaowei was going to introduce them to them, but Lu's father said with a dark face, "Stop the car now, I won't lose my temper, Lu Qiaowei."

"Hello, Uncle and Auntie." Wen Jin said softly, "Weiwei didn't know my car was outside, so I drove here by myself. There is no place to park now, so I will stop at the intersection in front later, is that okay?"

Father Lu didn't answer her words, Wen Jinyan did what he said, and stopped at the intersection ahead, she parked the car on the side of the road, and got off along with her.

"Your car." Lu Qiaowei reminded in a low voice.

"It's okay." Wen Jinyan looked at her reassuringly.

Lu's father and Lu's mother walked away very quickly, as if they were about to throw them away completely. Lu Qiaowei gritted her teeth and followed, she called "Dad" in a low voice, but Lu's father ignored her and did not respond to her words.

Indeed, with the suddenness in the car, the two of them would definitely feel that Wen Jinyan was too thoughtful, but they had no choice but to make a breakthrough.

At any rate, we meet each other, know what people look like, what kind of personality, some things have to be taken slowly, there is no rush, and it is a protracted battle.

Wen Jinyan followed unhurriedly, finding the right time to talk, and when he got to the bustling area, he didn't see Lu's parents and mother looking for Lu Qiaowei's aunt, nor did he go to the shopping mall, but went to the opposite square.

Climbing up three hundred steps, Wen Jinyan and Lu Qiaowei followed behind, it was very tiring, they did not dare to hold hands after following, they were honest the whole way.

Lu Qiaowei gasped and said, "They should be annoyed by my nagging, they should come out to breathe."

"Uncle and aunt are very good." Wen Jinyan said seriously, if it were someone else, he would point at her nose and scold her with very feudal thinking.

When they arrived at the big platform for the break in the middle, Wen Jinyan took out the camera from his handbag as if conjuring, "Uncle and Auntie, the scenery here looks good, shall I take pictures for you?"

Lu's father turned his back and held on to the railing, but Lu's mother looked at her seriously, as if sizing up her appearance. Wen Jinyan pursed her lips lightly, smiling, and when Lu Qiaowei was climbing the stairs, she stretched out her hand and pulled her up. , and quickly let go, keeping the distance.

Wen Jinyan was fiddling with the camera, and would squat down to help take two photos. Lu's parents and mothers had enough rest, and continued to climb up.

There is a Kuixing Tower on it, which is a scenic spot on their side. It is rarely open, and many people are offering incense and worshiping Buddha. Their family believes in this. Lu's parents and mothers took a look and saw that there were a lot of people.

Lu Qiaowei hurriedly stood over, "I'll go to the row."

The line was very long, at least 10 minutes, and there was a milk tea shop next to it. Wen Jinyan went to stand for a while, and came back with four cups of hot milk in his hand.

She handed Lu Qiaowei a cup. After climbing the stairs for so long, her legs were tired and she was still a little thirsty. She sent it directly to Lu's parents and mothers, but Lu's parents and mothers naturally didn't pick it up.

Wen Jin said: "They are all gadgets, uncle and aunt, should you try something new?"

The two of them didn't speak, and they expected this ending, Wen Jinyan stood beside her, not disturbing them any more.

Lu Qiaowei gave her parents the incense paper she bought, fearing that her parents would not accept it. Fortunately, they took the incense paper and entered the hall to worship Buddha. Many people knelt in front of the Bodhisattva and made their vows.

At this time of year, there are many people who come to worship Buddha. Mother Lu believes in Buddhism. When she worships, she should say a few words, "Bless the people outside are safe and healthy. Please bless you. There are too many people this year, so there is less incense. Don't mind Kuixing, remember to recognize your face, I've worked hard for you."

I also talked about some academic matters. There are very few people asking for money. Most of them want to have a safe and smooth New Year. There is a merit box in front of each Buddha statue, and everyone throws one, one, five, five yuan into it. .

Wen Jinyan took out a handful of change and gave it to Lu Qiaowei, Lu Qiaowei looked at her in surprise, Wen Jinyan said: "I changed it when I bought milk tea just now, boo!"

Lu Qiaowei understood what she meant, took the money and prayed over and over again. The cushions for praying to Buddha are limited, so you have to wait for a while, and when all the prayers are finished, Lu's parents and mothers have already left.

The two searched around, and saw someone on the hill next to them. The couple were talking, but they couldn't hear what they were saying. When they saw them coming, they fell silent.

At six o'clock in the evening, go down the small mountain road, there is a small stall on the side of the road, Lu Qiaowei went to buy something to eat, but Lu's parents and mothers still ignored them.

When crossing the intersection, she saw Wen Jinyan's car, which was still parked by the side of the road. Lu Qiaowei pushed her arm and said, "You can drive back, I'll just follow."

"It's okay, I'll come back to pick it up later, it's still early."

Wen Jinyan shook the car key at her, meaning that others could not drive away. Lu Qiaowei was not worried about this, she was worried that it was too dark and Wen Jinyan was not safe alone.Wen Jinyan insisted on sending them downstairs, instead of going upstairs, he just stood at the gate of the yard and watched them.

Lu Qiaowei waved to her before going upstairs.

The family was still silent. After a while, Lu Qiaowei secretly went to the balcony to take a look, and found that Wen Jinyan was still standing there.

It was as dark as ink, and only the light in her house could faintly illuminate it. Wen Jinyan raised her head slightly, and kept looking in the direction of her room.
