Chapter 585
Gao Zhan watched the two singing in harmony and sighed silently in his heart.
Actually, he was not very good at lying, and his somewhat overly serious and upright character was enough to explain this point.
The last time he found Shen Ci, he did have the intention of lying, but in the end, he reached an agreement with Shen Ci to be real lovers for a day, so that day actually didn't count as lying.
Now he had to lie again.
"Dad, Aci is still in college, it's a bit too early for me to bring her home now." Gao Zhan deliberately used Shen Ci's status as a college student to prevaricate.
As a result, Gao's father didn't buy this at all: "You've already brought her to your great-grandfather's birthday banquet, and you can't bring her home yet?"
"Others don't understand you, can I still not understand you? Since you decided to bring her back, you must have recognized this girl, so Aunt Bai and I value it so much."
"I brought her to see great-grandfather because I thought he was old and always thinking about this, wanting to coax him to be happy. Besides, it was you who urged me every day to bring her back." Gao Zhan said helplessly: "I really have to work, you go back first."
Gao Zhan said while picking up the folder, pretending to go on rounds.
"You just rest, rounds are morning work. What kind of rounds are you doing at noon? Don't forget that your father is also a doctor." Gao's father raised his hand and pushed Gao Zhan back into the chair.
He knew Gao Zhan's daily work schedule better than Gao Zhan. This was clearly his son wanting to use an excuse to send them away.
After all, he was not a slow-witted person. Gao's father looked at his son suspiciously: "Aunt Bai and I are so enthusiastic and active, isn't it a good thing for you young lovers? What are you doing pushing back and forth here? Don't tell me you found a fake girlfriend to fool me?"
As soon as this was said, Gao Zhan couldn't help but be startled in his heart.
Aunt Bai directly took over the words: "Can't be, Gao Zhan's character can't do such an absurd thing."
"Also..." Gao's father muttered and nodded, then looked at Gao Zhan impatiently and asked: "Then what's the matter with you?"
Gao Zhan was startled just now, who knew that his father would convince himself again, so he could only continue: "It's really that Aci is busy lately, why would I lie to you?"
As soon as the words fell, the office door was knocked.
The few turned their heads to look at the same time, because Gao Zhan was not the attending physician on duty today, but a resident physician in the inpatient department office, responsible for postpartum women and patients in the obstetrics and gynecology inpatient department.
So those who knocked on the door were generally nurses or patients' family members.
Gao Zhan said subconsciously: "Please come in."
As soon as the door opened, the Shen sisters appeared at the door.
Shen Ci's face was originally full of bright smiles. Who knew that the first thing she saw when she opened the door was Gao Zhan's father and Aunt Bai, and then she saw Gao Zhan sitting in the chair through the gap between the two bodies.
The smile couldn't help but stiffen: "Uncle, Auntie?"
She greeted subconsciously, and Gao Zhan's originally impatient face from dealing with his father clearly radiated a joyful brilliance when he saw Shen Ci appear.
"Aci!"
Aunt Bai exclaimed excitedly and hurriedly greeted: "Come in quickly, you came at a really good time."
Gao's father also responded happily: "Indeed, we were just chatting, talking about when Gao Zhan would bring you home for a meal."
Shen Ci walked into the office instinctively, her gaze subconsciously glancing at Gao Zhan, and she saw Gao Zhan looking at herself and shaking his head lightly, speechless.
As if the tacit understanding between each other was connected, Shen Ci understood Gao Zhan's meaning with just this subtle expression and action. He was telling her that she could refuse.
Shen Li on the side was originally still confused, until she locked her gaze on Gao Zhan after entering the room.
Just one look and she understood. Sister was indeed still sister, still liking handsome guys.
Before Shen Ci could speak, Aunt Bai asked with a warm smile: "Gao Zhan said you've been busy lately. You're a junior, right? You can't be so busy that you don't even have time to go back for a meal, right?"
"Are you busy writing your graduation thesis? Or preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam? You can't be busy throwing resumes, right?"
"What kind of job do you want to find? You can tell your Uncle Gao, your Uncle Gao can help!"
Upon hearing this, Gao's father also nodded and took over: "Yes, Uncle Gao still has some social connections."
The progress of this topic was faster than Shen Ci imagined. This Gao's father and Aunt Bai clearly recognized her as their "daughter-in-law," otherwise why would they even take on such things as finding a job.
However, the fact was just like this. In Gao's father's heart, based on his understanding of his son Gao Zhan, the girlfriend Gao Zhan brought home must be recognized, so he, as a father, must fully support it.
After all, for so many years, his son had never brought a girlfriend home.
So Shen Ci appeared so special and could be valued by the whole family.
Shen Ci was a bit flattered. Gao Zhan was afraid that Shen Ci would encounter such a sudden situation and wouldn't know how to explain it for a while, so he was about to get up to help her round it off. As a result, Shen Ci's brain moved and she blurted out: "Uncle, Auntie, you are thinking too far. I'm not writing a thesis, not preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam, and not looking for a job."
"But I am indeed busy lately. Isn't the national college Olympiad coming soon? I am a member of the school team, and my extra time every day is spent solving problems."
It just so happened that there was a ready-made excuse.
"Olympiad?" Upon hearing this, Gao's father's eyes lit up: "Oh my, being able to enter the school team and participate in the Olympiad shows that you are very smart. Uncle also participated when he was in school."
While speaking, he didn't forget to point to Gao Zhan: "Gao Zhan is also, Gao Zhan even won a gold medal."
"Dad, it's a silver medal." Gao Zhan corrected.
Gao's father said indifferently: "It's all the same."
Seeing this, Shen Ci couldn't help but smile: "The school attaches great importance to this competition, so the intensity of our school team's charging this time is relatively strong, and there is really no time."
"I also happened to bring my sister to the hospital to see a doctor today, and it was on the way to have time to come and see Gao Zhan. I didn't expect to run into Uncle and Auntie so coincidentally, so it's like meeting again!"
"There will be opportunities for eating at home in the future, there will be a long time to come."
She responded to such a sudden situation neither humble nor arrogant and in a soft voice. Gao Zhan watched from the side, his expression softening unconsciously.
Since Shen Ci said so, Gao's father naturally couldn't force her anymore. He was also happy in his heart to be able to see his son's girlfriend again, so he nodded happily: "That's fine, you must come to the house with Gao Zhan after you finish the competition."
Shen Ci responded with a smile: "Okay, Uncle."
Aunt Bai then focused her attention on Shen Li: "Is this your sister? Your own sister?"
Seeing this, Shen Li hurriedly called out politely: "Hello Uncle, Auntie."
"Eh? I look a bit familiar." Aunt Bai also liked watching dramas on weekdays. At this moment, looking at the bare-faced Shen Li, she always felt a bit familiar: "Have I seen you?"
