Chapter 616 Concept
Darwin Community Hospital.
Chatson Chen was lying on the hospital bed, staring directly at the roof. There was no abnormal expression on his face, but his rapid breathing showed that he was not calm inside.
After Jason Chen was sent to the hospital, a doctor conducted a physical examination for him, but did not prescribe medicine. He was just asked to rest more, not to get emotional, and to observe him for a period of time.
Li Zhaofeng frowned and comforted him, "The doctor said you are fine, but you are angry and you can recover after a good rest.
Julia is still young and has a childlike nature. If she goes back and tries to persuade her, the matter will be over.
Who didn’t do stupid things when he was young?
Don’t think too much now, taking good care of yourself is better than anything else. "
Chen Jason's face still showed no reaction.
Li Zhaofeng sighed softly. He knew his brother-in-law very well, he was capable, and he also cared about face. He always regarded his daughter as the apple of his eye. In today's terms, he was his daughter's slave.
From a young age, he was fed, clothed and used the best. He was reluctant to be beaten or scolded and was coaxed to grow up.
Julia also lived up to the expectations of her elders. She was good-looking, had a good personality, studied well, and was admitted to a prestigious university. She was better than her brothers in the family.
Jason Chen has always had high hopes for his daughter. Who would have thought that his daughter would suddenly bring back a black boyfriend.
All previous expectations were shattered with one hammer.
Luke stood beside him and said nothing because he didn't know what to say.
He felt that Chen Jason's health was fine and he just wanted to be alone.
With a sound of "Bang!", the door of the ward was knocked open.
Julia and Luke's aunt rushed in.
Julia ran to the hospital bed, grabbed Jason Chen's hand, and cried, "Dad, how are you? What's wrong with you?"
Chen Jason turned his face away and did not look at the other person.
“Dad, please say something, this makes me so scared...wuwu...
I didn’t expect this.
I know you are more traditional-minded and may not be able to accept my finding an African-American boyfriend.
I brought him back this time just to get your consent. I respect you and value your opinions.
I didn’t mean to hide it from you.
I just didn’t expect that everyone would be there…”
Li Zhaofeng asked, "Julia, since you know everything, why do you still want to find an African-American boyfriend?"
“I’m with him just because he is who he is and I love him, no matter what race he is.
He is not the kind of person you think he is. He is really sincere, motivated, and studies hard. He is really excellent. "
Chen Jason slowly closed his eyes, his face flushed a little, as if he was angry.
Li Wan was worried about her husband's health and said quickly, "Jason, if you are angry, just scold her, but don't make yourself angry."
Chen Jason still did not respond.
Li Wan looked at Li Zhaofeng aside, "Brother, what did the doctor say? Is the situation serious?"
Li Zhaofeng glanced at his niece beside the hospital bed, "The doctor said that he was angry and needed to rest and observe for a period of time."
Li Wan also sighed softly.
The only sounds left in the ward were Julia’s sobs apologizing and acknowledging her mistake.
Luke didn’t plan to say anything more about Julia.
There is just one girl in the whole family. Her father and mother coax her, her grandma and grandpa dote on her, and her two uncles protect her.
Among her peers, Julia is a special being. As a cousin, her words have little weight. In this case, why bother bothering others.
"Since my uncle is fine, we will leave first so as not to affect his rest."
In Luke's view, the reason Jason Chen became "sick" was that on the one hand he didn't know how to face his daughter and her boyfriend, and on the other hand he couldn't stand up in front of relatives and friends and felt embarrassed.
Although I and my father are kind-hearted to help, they may not be welcomed by others if they continue to stay.
This matter must be resolved by the family of three themselves.
Li Wan sent the two of them to the door, "Brother, Luke, I'm sorry to trouble you today."
Li Zhaofeng turned around and glanced into the ward, "Tell Julia and call me if you need anything.
go in. "
Li Wan nodded and returned to the ward.
Li Zhaofeng sighed, "Hey, the whole family was having a happy dinner together, what kind of thing is this?"
Luke felt that this incident seemed accidental, but in fact it was inevitable.
It is also the only way for Chinese people to integrate into American society.
When Chinese people choose their spouse, for various reasons, most of the time they still choose to marry a Chinese.
But there are also some Chinese who choose to marry other races.
To be honest, Li Zhaofeng is not qualified to be called a niece, because he is the first person to marry a foreigner.
The difference is that he married a white wife from a middle-class background.
Although Luke didn't ask, based on his understanding of his grandparents, his father should have had some resistance before getting married. After all, among the three brothers and sisters, only his father married a wife of a foreign race.
Of course, there is a big difference between the two. Many Chinese can accept intermarriage with white people, but it is difficult to accept intermarriage between family members and black people.
Luke may face the same problem in the future, choose a white man as his wife, or an Asian?
Luke shook his head. This matter was still too far away for him. At least he was still a non-marriage person.
Who knows what will happen next?
The father and son walked through the corridor and walked to the lobby on the 15th floor, where they saw a familiar black man.
The black man stood up and said hello, "Hi, I am Julia's boyfriend, Horst Watt.
I'm very sorry about what happened today.
"I didn't expect this either..." Horst Watt looked towards the corridor and asked with concern, "How is Julia's father?" I want to go see him. "
Li Zhaofeng looked at the other person with a cold face.
Li Zhaofeng also loved his only niece very much. He really couldn't figure out why she would find a black man. Not to mention that Jason Chen was angry, as his uncle, he was also very angry.
What the hell?
Luke asked, “Dude, are you from New York?”
“It’s really great here. I suggest you go around New York and contact Julia later.”
“I heard Julia say before that her family is very traditional and her parents may not agree with us being together.
But I didn’t expect his father to have such a big reaction.I was frightened too. Horst Watt spread his hands and said, "I'm not in the mood for fun right now. I want to talk to them in person."
Me and Julia are serious, we love each other.
I will impress them with my sincerity.
I believe that when they truly understand me, they will allow us to be together. "
Li Zhaofeng waved his hand away, "Get out of here, Julia's father doesn't want to see you, don't go near the ward."
“Hey, I don’t understand why you are doing this to me. Julia and I truly love each other and this is our private matter.
You should not interfere too much.
I just hope Julia's father can give me a chance to speak.
This is the basic way for people to get along with each other, isn’t it? "
Seeing that his father had something to say, Luke stopped him and said to Horst Watt, "Man, how long have you and Julia known each other?"
“It’s been half a year. We met for the first time in the school library. I will never forget that day.”
“How long have you been dating?”
“Three months ago, we officially established our relationship. She is a very good girl, and everything about her is so charming.”
“Are you serious?”
“Sure, I swear to God.”
“Then there’s no need to rush.
If you believe Julia, give her more time to explain it to her parents.
I believe she will contact you after the matter is resolved. "
Horst Watt was silent for a while and nodded, "OK, thank you for your suggestion."
Horst Watt looked in the direction of the ward, turned around and got into the elevator.
After watching the other party leave, Li Zhaofeng was still a little worried, "You go back first, I'll keep an eye on you."
Luke asked, "What are you staring at?"
“I’m afraid this kid will come back again.”
“I think Julia will be out soon, and Julia should be able to communicate with him.
Which is more important, your words or Julia’s? "
"It would be better for Julia to come out. I'll try to persuade him again. It's too late to separate now. If something happens in the future... it will be too late."
“My aunt and uncle should be able to persuade her.
At her age, she is trying to save face. If every elder talks about her, it will only make her more rebellious, which is counterproductive. "
Li Zhaofeng thought for a while and shook his head, "No, I'm still worried.
You go back first.
Whether she is happy or not, I still have to say what needs to be said.
As an uncle, I don’t care if I let her marry a black man, her life will be ruined. "
“Dad, you have to be careful what you say in public.
I'll wait for you in the car. "Luke said nothing and went downstairs alone.
About half an hour later, Li Zhaofeng also went downstairs and got into the passenger seat of the car.
Luke started the car and asked, "How was the conversation?"
Li Zhaofeng was silent. Everyone said that small cotton-padded jackets are good, but if they are leaky, they will give you chills.
Let alone Chen Jason, he is so angry that he has a headache now.
Li Zhaofeng hesitated for a moment and avoided answering, "You and Jack live in Los Angeles and are not here with me.
I am not worried about you now.
You should keep an eye on Jack more. "
“Don’t worry, I will keep an eye on him, he won’t dare to be disobedient.”
Li Zhaofeng, the father, may not be as effective as Luke, the brother.
If a child of Jack's age becomes rebellious, Li Zhaofeng will not be able to control him.
It would have been a beating for Luke.
Sometimes, a father hitting his son can easily arouse his son's rebellious mentality and even lead to estrangement.
It is normal for brothers to fight and fight as long as they are not married.
Taking Jack as an example, even if he is beaten by Luke and his anger subsides after a few days, Luke is confident that he can be coaxed into good health.
If you can’t coax her well, you can just spend some money and buy a gift.
If you can't coax him enough, he'll be beaten again.
With a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other, the little fat man knows what to choose.
As for Julia, Luke didn’t ask again, because Li Zhaofeng’s face was full of the word “bad”, and his persuasion probably had no effect.
It's no use talking to my parents and uncle, so don't even bother with my cousin.
Luke is really worried about his grandpa and grandma. If Julia really resists the pressure of her parents and stays with her black boyfriend, the old man and the old lady will definitely be angry. After all, they are old...
At night, Luke received a call from Negan Thomas.
“Hey Luke, how are you doing today?”
“Too bad.”
“Young people should not have such a negative attitude. Happiness is also a day, sadness is also a day, so why not be happy?”
Luke asked, "Do you have anything happy to tell me?"
“Of course, I have talked with the friend who bought the dock and made an appointment for you. How about tomorrow morning?”
“Okay, what is his name?”
“Hamadi Shaw, I’ll send you the address.”
Luke probes, “Can he be trusted?”
Negan Thomas did not answer directly, "He is very rich."
Luke smiled, "I believe we will also become good friends."
