Chapter 72 Fake Marriage (Part One)
Leena didn't see Miguel these days. She just called him occasionally. Because Miguel's grandmother
was sick, the doctor had given a kind notice to the Song Family to prepare for the funeral. Her physical
condition might turn to be worse in the following days.
Miguel's grandmother had been in hospital for three or four months. Since Leena and Miguel started
dating, they had heard that she was ill in hospital and hadn't recovered. Miguel would visit her the next
day, but he didn't expect that it was so serious this time, and there was even no way healing her
disease.
Leena hadn't gone to the hospital to visit her, because it was not convenient for her to show up. It might
be a little more casual for Miguel to visit her home, but if she also went to the the Song Family, it would
be equivalent to meeting the parents of both sides. Therefore, even if she was very concerned about
the condition of her grandmother, she could only ask one or two questions and could not visit her.
A few days later, Miguel appeared in front of Leena and suddenly said, "My parents want to see you."
At that time, Leena had just finished her class. When she heard the phone call from Miguel, she ran
out. And when she heard his words, she was shocked and asked, "Why do they want to see me?"
"I don't know. They want you to go back to my home with me. Just meet them at my home."
"Why do you suddenly want to see me?" She repeated it again and again because she couldn't believe
it.
"Maybe... They care about my girlfriend and want to have a look. My father is very tough this time. He
insists that you go there. If you have no problem, you can go home with me."
Although Leena didn't like Miguel's father spoke in such a tough way, she could understand. All the
high-rank officials were like this, especially those who were big enough to often bring their leader's airs
home. Her father used to be like this, but it was just out of habit that he was very kind.
"I'm still in class," said Leena In fact, she didn't have the confidence to meet Miguel's parents. It
happened too suddenly. She didn't know what the elders of the Song Family would do to her, so she
was very nervous.
Miguel looked at his watch and said, "The class will be over soon. It doesn't matter. I'll wait for you. You
can leave directly after class!"
Leena couldn't think of anything to refuse, so she nodded and went back to her class.
After school, she told Rena to take her books back and went out to look for Miguel. Sure enough,
Miguel had been waiting for her. Then he held her hand and they got into the car and headed for his
home.
Back to the residential compound where she had lived when she was a child, Leena was really
shocked and sad. She used to live in this courtyard with her family. Her parents, brother and brother
were all there, and their family was harmonious and happy. She had never thought that one day she
would move out of this place, and her family was broken. She would never see Miguel again, and she
would never have a complete family, and she would never go back to the carefree days anymore!
When the car drove into the community, she had been looking at the plants and trees around, looking
at every building and garden. It had changed a lot, but it was still the original outline. She could still find Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
the streets and scenery she had walked through. She didn't know if the people inside were still there, if
they stayed there, or if things had changed?
Miguel didn't say anything. He just drove the car silently. He didn't care about how it would feel if Leena
went back to the community, nor did he ask about her feelings. Maybe he was also preoccupied by
troubles, so he had no time to care about her.
When they arrived at Miguel's house, they saw that Ronald and Susan were waiting for them. There
were only two of them in the house. Sitting in the living room, they put a lot of pressure on Leena.
Miguel introduced Leena to them, and Leena greeted them cautiously. When she sat down, she didn't
know where to put her hands, but could only press them on her thighs.
Susan had seen Leena before, so she didn't say anything. She just stared at her coldly and sharply, as
if she wanted to dig out her heart. Normally, Leena was a little afraid of Susan, but now she felt more
uncomfortable being stared by her.
Ronald looked at Leena up and down for a while and said with a friendly smile, "You are Leena. You
used to live here as well?"
"Yes, uncle Ronald!" Leena didn't know what to answer, but nodded with a smile. She thought that
Miguel must have told her family background to his parents, otherwise his father wouldn't know that
she was Leena. She didn't know what his father thought about her family background, so she could not
help but glance at him.
Ronald nodded with a smile on his face. He looked very kind and didn't make Leena embarrassed.
Leena felt that his father had not changed at all. She often saw him smiling and looking for her when
she was a child. He was not arrogant. Perhaps the more powerful the official was, the more tolerance
he will have? Seeing his father's smile, Leena felt much relieved.
Ronald continued, "Are you Bowen's daughter?"
Leena was nervous, but she still answered, "Yes." She wondered why his father asked this and
whether he had any idea.
Ronald smiled and said, "If she is Bowen's daughter, there should be no problem with moral
education."
"Really? We have nothing to do with the Yang Family. You know nothing about the Yang family!"
Hearing this, Leena immediately felt inferior. She lowered her head awkwardly and didn't know how to
answer. His father's matter had always been a shadow in her heart. She could neither deny nor
exclude it.
Ronald stopped her and said, "Well, the matter of the last generation is not related to the next
generation. By the way, it happened when Leena was still young."
Susan looked down upon her, and Leena kept her head down and dared not speak. Miguel held her
hand and asked, "Dad, mom, what do you want from Leena?"
Ronald just smiled and said, "It's just that I haven't seen her for a long time. I called her here to have a
look when I knew she was with you." Then she asked Leena a lot of questions, including where to go to
school, when to graduate, whether her mother was still alive, where her brother went to school, and
what plans she would have in the future.
Leena answered all of the questions, but the more he asked, the more suspicious she became. Was
this a question about the parents' examination of their daughter-in-law? Miguel also frowned.
Later, Ronald chatted with Leena for a while and finally nodded with satisfaction. "Not bad. Although
she has lived a hard life these years, she has her own ambitions and persistence. She is also a girl of
outstanding character!"
Leena smiled awkwardly, "I'm flattered!" She was so nervous that her hands were intertwined, and she
increasingly felt that the intention of Ronald's words was obvious.
Miguel kept asking, "What do you want to do, father?"
Ronald smiled again and asked, "How long have you been together? Dear Leena, is Miguel good to
you? Did he bully you? If he bullies you and makes you sad, just tell me. I'll punish him for you. "
