Heart of an Innocent Chapter 7

After hearing this, Xu's mother just smiled and said nothing more. Claire Qian found an opportunity, pulled him aside, and yelled angrily: "You are so stupid! Can't you tell my mother that you will take good care of me, so she can rest assured!"

Later, Claire Qian often told her sisters and friends about David Wen's behavior when he met her parents as a joke and a negative example.

After graduating from university, Claire Qian successfully found a job in Liuyong. At first, she chose to share a house with others, but as her relationship with David Wen deepened, the two rented an apartment and officially started living together.

David Wen once asked Claire Qian why she fell in love with him. Claire Qian pondered for a while, as if she was choosing her words, and finally replied with a smile: "You have a pure heart."

"What do you mean?"

"You are a kind person with a sense of justice."

"Oh, just because I stood up for you on the train that time, you promised yourself to me?"

"of course not."

"Why is that?"

"There's something different about you."

"Have it?"

"Yes, you don't like talking to people."

"That's not a good trait."

"You don't like talking to people, but you like talking to things."

"Talking to things?"

"Yeah, like that time you carried a box for me and talked to it."

"What did I say?"

"You said, hey! You are so heavy!" Claire Qian imitated David Wen's tone and said.

"Did I really say that?" He didn't even realize it.

Claire Qian nodded. "It has been raining for the past few days. When you got up this morning, you looked up at the sky and talked to God."

"What did I tell God?"

"You said, my God, can't you just be happy?"

After hearing this, David Wen laughed so hard that he felt embarrassed.

"You, when we first met, would rather talk to the box than answer me. I said thank you to you, but you didn't even say a word." Claire Qian said with a hint of blame.

"I said yes, but you didn't hear it."

"What did you say?"

"I said, ah."

"What is that?"

"That's it. Ah, I heard it. That's what I meant."

"Come on, uncle, you are too stingy with words!" Claire Qian felt angry and amused. "It seems that only by getting you drunk can I get a few more words from you - you talk a lot when you are drunk."

"Do I talk a lot when I'm drunk?" David Wen rarely gets drunk. The only times he got drunk were when he broke up with his first love in college, the night of his graduation farewell dinner, and the time he went to meet Claire Qian's parents.

"Have you forgotten about that night when you got drunk at my house?"

Claire Qian suddenly brought up the past, and David Wen was stunned for a moment. "That night... that night I didn't yell and act crazy, right?"

"Not really, but you become very sentimental."

"Sentimental?"

"Yes," Claire Qian said with a smile, "When you first came to the table that night, you didn't talk much and were like a block of wood. After a few glasses of white wine, you opened up and became very proactive. You went to toast my grandparents, parents, and other relatives one by one. After the toasts, you also spoke to each of them from the heart."

David Wen just couldn't remember these moments that night. "What did I say?" he asked.

"You were drunk, and your words were incoherent and inconsistent. But there were two sentences that you said very clearly and sincerely."

"Which two sentences?"

"You said that although your family conditions are average and you don't have a house or a car, you have a stable job and will never let me suffer, and will work hard to give me a warm home. You know, before that, my family didn't agree with me coming to Liuyong, and they also opposed me being with you. But after that night, their attitude towards you softened. I think it was just two simple words from you in a drunken state that convinced my whole family."

Maybe it was because of this, anyway, Claire Qian came to David Wen right after graduation, without any resistance from his family. Now he has a car, although it is just a second-hand Fit; he has bought a house, although the area is less than 80 square meters. Now as long as he can settle the loan issue, he will be one step closer to fulfilling his promise to give his girlfriend a warm home.

Thinking of this, David Wen suddenly perked up. He immediately sat up straight, fastened his seat belt, and drove straight to the Zhongshan branch.

Zhongshan Branch is located on Zhongshan Road in the city center. As a superior bank, it is much larger than Yongnan Branch. After parking the car, I just reached out to take the quick loan contract on the passenger seat, and then I caught a glimpse of the police uniform on the back seat.

If the people at the bank knew that I was a policeman, would they pay more attention to the problems I encountered? This thought suddenly flashed through David Wen's mind. For some reason, he decided to give it a try, so he took off his casual clothes and put on the police uniform.

After getting off the car, I straightened my clothes, held the contract in my hand, and walked into the bank with my chest held high. A young woman in a bank uniform came forward and asked in a gentle but alert tone: "Comrade police, what can I do for you?"

"I'm here to see Director Philip from the Credit Department. Is he here?"

"Yes, please follow me."

As the woman spoke, she led David Wen through the bank lobby and stopped at the entrance of a corridor.

"Go inside, the third room on the right is our Director Philip's office."

"OK, thanks."

"You're welcome."

After David Wen thanked her, the woman left. He walked straight inside. There were offices on both sides of the corridor, and there were signs on the doors. He walked to the third office on the right, and the sign read "Credit Department". The door was open, and there were two men sitting on the sofa smoking. When they saw a policeman suddenly appear, their eyes flashed with panic.
