Chapter 615
Darwin Community Hospital.
Chen Jiesheng was lying on the hospital bed, his eyes staring straight at the roof, no abnormal expression could be seen on his face, only his rapid breathing showed that he was not calm inside.
After Chen Jiesheng was sent to the hospital, a doctor conducted a physical examination for him, but did not prescribe any medication, and only told him to take more rest, not to be emotionally agitated, and to observe for a period of time.
Li Zhaofeng wrinkled his eyebrows and comforted from the side: ”The doctor said that you are not in any serious trouble, it’s just that your anger is attacking your heart, and you can recover with a good rest.
Julia is still young, it is a child’s mind, turn back and persuade, this matter will be over.
Who hasn’t done something wrong when they were young.
Don’t think too much about it now, getting well is better than anything else.”
Chen Jiesheng’s face remained unresponsive.
Li Zhaofeng sighed softly, he knows this brother-in-law very well, capable, also love face, has always regarded his daughter as the jewel in the palm of his hand, in today’s words is the daughter slave.
From a young age, she ate, wore, and used the best, and could not be beaten, scolded, and was coaxed to grow up.
Julia did not fail to live up to the expectations of the elders, good looks, good character, good learning, but also got into a famous university, than a few brothers in the family are outstanding.
Chen Jie Sheng has always had high hopes for his daughter, but who would have thought that she would suddenly bring back a black boyfriend.
All the previous expectations were smashed with a hammer.
Luke stood by his side and hadn’t said anything because he didn’t know what to say.
He felt that Chen Jiesheng’s body was not in any serious trouble, he just wanted to be alone.
“Bang!” The door of the hospital room was slammed open.
Julia and Luke’s aunt rushed in.
Julia ran to the hospital bed, grabbed Chen Jiesheng’s hand and cried, “Dad, how are you? Where is your body uncomfortable?”
Chen Jiesheng turned his face away from the other party.
“Dad, say something, this makes me so scared …… oooh ……
I did not expect this.
I know that you guys are more traditional in your thinking and may not be able to accept that I’m looking for an African-American boyfriend.
I brought him back this time to ask for your permission. I respect you and value your opinion.
I didn’t mean to hide it from you guys.
I just didn’t realize that everyone was there ……”
Lee Siu Fung asked, “Julia, why did you find an African-American boyfriend if you knew everything?”
“I’m with him simply because he’s him and I love him and don’t care what race he is.
He’s not the kind of person you think he is, he’s really sincere, motivated, and studies hard, he’s really good.”
Chen Jiesheng slowly closed his eyes, his face flushed a little, as if he was infuriated.
Li Wan was worried about her husband’s health and hurriedly said, “Jie Sheng, if you are angry, just scold her twice, but don’t make yourself angry.”
Chen Jiesheng still did not respond.
Li Wan looked at Li Zhaofeng on the side, “Big brother, what did the doctor say? Is the situation serious?”
Li Zhaofeng glanced at his niece beside the hospital bed, “The doctor said that it’s anger attacking the heart, and that he needs to recuperate and observe for a period of time.”
Li Wan also sighed softly.
The only sound left in the hospital room was Julia’s choked voice apologizing and admitting her mistake.
For Julia, Luke did not intend to say anything more.
The entire family had just one girl, father and mother coaxed, grandma and grandpa spoiled, and the two uncles protected.
Among her peers, Julia was a special existence, and the words of this cousin of his own carried little weight, so in that case, why invite annoyance.
“Since auntie is fine, we’ll leave first, so as not to affect his rest.”
In Luke’s opinion, the reason why Chen Jiesheng ‘fell ill’ was that on one hand, he didn’t know how to face his daughter and her boyfriend, and on the other hand, he couldn’t get down in front of his friends and family and felt ashamed.
Although he and his father were kind to help, but stayed on, may not be inviting.
This matter, still have to let the three of them solve their own.
Li Wan sent the two men to the door, “Big brother, Luke, I’m troubling you today.”
Li Zhaofeng turned back and glanced into the ward, “Speak nicely with Julia, call me if anything happens.
Go inside.”
Li Wan nodded and returned to the ward.
Li Zhaohong sighed, “Hey, originally the family was having a happy get-together, what is this called.”
Luke, on the contrary, felt that this incident appeared to be accidental, but it was inevitable.
It is also a necessary way for the Chinese to integrate into the American society.
When Chinese people choose their other half, for various reasons, most of the time they will still choose to marry a Chinese person.
But there are also some Chinese who choose to marry other races.
To be true, Lee Shau Fung is not qualified to talk about his niece because he was the first one to marry a person of a different race.
The difference was that he married a white wife from a middle-class background.
Luke hadn’t asked, but from what he knew about his grandparents, there should have been some resistance from his father before he got married back then, after all, he was the only one of the three of them, brother and sister, who had married an interracial wife.
Of course, there was still a big difference between the two, many Chinese could accept intermarriage with whites, but it was hard to accept family members intermarrying with blacks.
Luke might face the same problem in the future, choosing a white person as a wife or looking for an Asian?
Luke shook his head, this matter was still too far away for him, at least he was still a non-marrier for now.
What happens in the future, who knows?
Father and son walked through the hallways and down to the 15th floor lobby where they saw a familiar black man.
The black man stood up and greeted them, “Hi, I’m Julia’s boyfriend, Horst Watt.
I’m sorry about what happened today.
I didn’t expect it to be like this …… “Horst Watt looked in the direction of the hallway and said with concern, “How is Julia’s father? I want to go see him.”
Li Zhaofeng coldly scrutinized the other party.
For his only niece, Li Zhaofeng is also very loving, and really can not figure out why she will find a black man, not to mention that Chen Jiesheng is angry, he is also angry as an uncle.
What the hell?
Luke asked, “Man, are you from New York?”
“No, but I love New York.”
“It’s really great here, I suggest you hang around New York and contact Julia later.”
“I’ve heard Julia say before that her family is very traditional and that her parents might not approve of us being together.
But I didn’t expect such a reaction from her father.
I’m freaking out, too.” Horst Watt spread his hands, “I’m not in the mood to swim right now, I want to talk to them in person.
Julia and I 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 to repel, “Get out of here, Julia’s father doesn’t want to see you, don’t come near the ward.”
“Hey, I don’t understand why you guys are doing this to me, Julia and I truly love each other, this is our private matter.
You guys shouldn’t interfere too much.
I just wish Julia’s father would give me a chance to talk.
That’s the basic way for people to get along with each other, isn’t it?”
Seeing that his father was about to say something, Luke stopped him and said to Horst Watt, “Man, how long have you and Julia known each other?”
“For about six months now, we first met in the school library, I’ll never forget that day.”
“How long have you been dating?”
“Three months ago, we made our relationship official. She’s a wonderful girl, everything about her is so charming.”
“You guys are serious?”
“Of course, I can swear to God.”
“Then there’s no need to rush.
If you believe Julia, give her more time to explain things to her parents.
I’m sure she’ll contact you when it’s taken care of.”
Horst Watt was silent for a moment and nodded, “OK, thanks for the advice.”
Horst Watt looked in the direction of the ward and turned to get on the elevator.
After seeing the other party leave, Li Zhaofeng was still a bit uneasy, “You go back first, I’ll keep an eye here.”
Luke asked, “What are you staring at?”
“I’m afraid that this brat will come back again.”
“I guess Julia is about to come out with, Julia should communicate with him.
Is your word good, or Julia’s?”
“Julia out better, I will persuade him again, now separate is not too late, later really out of the matter …… will be too late.”
“My aunt and uncle should persuade her.
She is about to face at this age, if every elder says something about her, it will only make him more rebellious and counterproductive.”
Li Zhaofeng thought about it and shook his head, “No, I’m still not at ease.
You go back first.
Whether she is happy or not, I still have to say what I should say.
I, as an uncle, don’t care, if I really let her marry a black man, her life will be ruined.”
“Dad, in public, you have to watch what you say.
I’ll go wait for you in the car.” Luke left a sentence and went downstairs alone.
About half an hour later, Li Zhaofeng also went downstairs and sat in the passenger side of the car.
Luke started the car while asking, “How’s the talk going?”
Li Zhaofeng was silent, it was said that the little cotton jacket was good, but a leaky little cotton jacket would also freeze your heart.
Not to mention Chen Jiesheng, he is now angry with a headache.
Li Zhaofeng hesitated for a moment, avoided answering: ”You and Jack live in Los Angeles, are not in front of me.
I am not worried about you now.
You keep an extra eye on Jack.”
“Don’t worry, I will keep an eye on it, he doesn’t dare to disobey.”
Li Zhaofeng, the father, really might not be as useful as Luke, the older brother, when he spoke.
If a child of Jack’s age rebels, Li Zhaofeng can’t control him.
Luke is a beating.
Sometimes, the father beat the son is very easy to provoke the son’s rebellious mentality, and even make a mess of each other.
As long as brothers are not married, it’s normal to fight.
Take Jack for example, even if he was beaten by Luke, after a few days to dissipate the anger, Luke is confident that he can coax him well.
If he can’t coax him well, he can’t just spend some money and buy a gift.
If he can’t coax him well again, he will beat him up again.
A hand of carrot, a hand of big stick, the little fat man will know how to choose.
As for Julia’s matter, Luke did not ask again, because Li Zhaofeng face written with the word bad, his persuasion should not play a role.
Mom, dad and uncle’s words didn’t work, so don’t bother yourself as a cousin.
Luke is really worried about grandpa and grandma, if Julia really resisted the pressure of her parents and black boyfriend together, the old man and the old lady will definitely have to harbor anger, after all, old age ……
In the evening, Luke got a call from Negan Thomas.
“Hey Luke, how was your day?”
“Awful.”
“Don’t be so negative in your attitude young man, a happy day is a day and a sad day is a day, so why not be happy?”
Luke asked back, “Do you have something happy to tell me?”
“Sure, I talked to the friend who bought the marina and made an appointment for you, how about tomorrow morning?”
“That’s fine, what’s his name?”
“Hamedi Shaw, I’ll send you the address.”
Luke tried, “Is he trustworthy?”
Negan Thomas didn’t answer positively, “He’s rich.”
Luke smiled, “I’m sure we’ll be good friends too.”
