[R18] These men are poisonous – “These Men Are Poisonous” Chapter 186 [English]

The more rational it becomes, the more confusing it becomes

Gao Xia was wearing a black coat and was still holding a hat and a mask that he had just taken off. When he saw a strange middle-aged man opening the door, he couldn’t help but be startled and quickly looked up at the house number.

2704, it’s Zuo Ning’s apartment.

“Looking for Fang Jinglun?” Father Fang turned to the side with a solemn expression, “He’s inside.”

Seeing that the person coming was Gao Xia, the expressions of Zuo Ning and Fang Jinglun also changed slightly.Zuo Ning was surprised and happy, while Fang Jinglun was shocked and hated – not only because he now had a love rival competing with him to take care of Zuo Ning, but also because the expressions on his two parents with strange minds were getting more and more weird at the moment.

Gao Xia originally wanted to rush forward and give Zuo Ning a big hug as soon as he entered the door, but now due to the presence of his elders, he could only restrain himself as much as possible, but he could already tell from their appearance that these two were Fang Jinglun’s parents.

“Are you really Gao Xia?” Fang’s mother’s expression was too complicated to describe in words.

This national idol, who is active on the screen for both young and old, was once a star that she liked very much, but now that there are rumors of a same-sex affair between him and his son, she really doesn’t know how to feel.

Fang Jinglun rolled his eyes fiercely in his heart and looked at his mother helplessly: “Don’t think too much. He and I have nothing to do with each other. If we have to define it, then he and I are love rivals.”

“Love rival?” Mother Fang’s eyes suddenly widened as if something suddenly occurred to her, “The girlfriend Gao Xia admitted on Weibo is Ning Ning? Didn’t you say that Ning Ning has been single for the past two years? Could it be that you lied to me? You… are you poaching? How could you do such an immoral thing?”

Seeing his mother’s reaction, Fang Jinglun simply didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “These days, you are the only one who still believes the lies of those celebrities. I said to you, mom, this is my business, can you let me handle it myself? Didn’t you all not interfere with my affairs before? How come you suddenly…”

“The news that you are gay has spread like wildfire. Everyone in the hospital and the neighbors know about it. They all say privately that you haven’t had a girlfriend since you have been growing up because you are secretly having a boyfriend. How can your father and I not care?”

Mother Fang glanced at Gao Xia, then at Zuo Ning, and said seriously, “Since the three of you are here today, I just want to ask all the questions clearly. Jinglun, tell me one last time, is what is said in the news true?”

“That’s not true!” Fang Jinglun sighed helplessly, “You saw it just now, Ningning and I, we were preparing… Anyway, if I am really gay, why would I do that kind of thing with her?”

“Didn’t the Internet say there were bisexuals?”

Fang Jinglun was dumbfounded for a moment. He didn’t expect that he, his mother, had done quite well in her homework. Now, he really had no way to prove himself.

Due to his status as an outsider, Zuo Ning has always been reluctant to interrupt, but looking at such a birdcage, he is getting more and more confused. She can only explain to Fang Jinglun: “Uncle and aunt, the news on the Internet are all fake. Someone deliberately distorted the facts in order to seriously hurt Gao Xia. Fang Jinglun is an innocent victim. He is indeed…not what you think. Gao Xia and I can both testify to this.”

When his name was called, Gao Xia naturally responded: “Uncle and aunt, I am really sorry that Fang Jinglun has been criticized because of me, and that I have caused you two constant worries. However, nothing happened between me and Fang Jinglun. I am not here today to find Fang Jinglun, but to find Zuo Ning. Don’t worry.”

Doubtful eyes kept lingering on the three young people in front of her. Mother Fang thought carefully for a long time before saying again: “Ning Ning, I want to talk to you alone, is that okay?”

Zuo Ning simply couldn’t refuse this elder who had always treated him very well, and he was unwilling to refuse.

After the Fang family and his son went to Fang Jinglun’s apartment next door and Gao Xia returned to her own apartment, Fang’s mother said: “Ning Ning, you know that I have always liked you and treated you as one of my own. Since you all said that Jinglun is not… If the rumors on the Internet are true, then I want to ask you another question now. Maybe my aunt is very abrupt and impolite to ask you this, but I am really worried about Jinglun, so…”

“I understand, Auntie. If you have any questions, just ask them. I will answer them truthfully.”

“Then let me tell you straight, what is your relationship with Gao Xia…? The girl who was photographed kissing Gao Xia and later admitted to being his girlfriend was you, right? Now that I think about it carefully, the back figure in the photo does look like you, and the statement online also said that Gao Xia has always had a stable girlfriend. If that person is you, then Jinglun said that you have been single for the past two years, isn’t he lying?”

She spoke very reservedly, and her tone was as gentle as possible without any aggression. However, Zuo Ning was still a little embarrassed when such a question was asked, and he really couldn’t lie to her: “Well, it’s me. We… have never been boyfriend and girlfriend.”

“Then you…you were so close at the time, and you…still maintain a very close relationship now?”

There were some words that Zuo Ning couldn’t say to an elder to whom she had always been grateful, but she could tell a lot from her lowered eyes and silent expression.

“So… what about the men I saw in the hospital that day? I thought they were just your suitors. I know that it is normal for a good girl like you to have so many suitors. I am also happy for you, but you and they… are you also…”

When the words stopped there, Zuo Ning already understood the meaning and nodded silently.

This time the answer was met with the same silence from Fang’s mother.

She didn’t know how long it took before she got up from the sofa and looked at Zuo Ning apologetically: “Ning Ning, what Jinglun’s father and I did today was indeed very rude, but I still hope you can understand. Since the moment we heard the news, we have never really felt at ease. We have always wanted to talk to Jinglun and ask about the situation, but we are afraid that if what is said online is true, then he will be under a lot of pressure, so we dare not talk to him easily.Open your mouth.That’s why I did something so irrational when I accidentally saw you in the hospital today. As for the questions I asked you just now, I know it’s your privacy, but I…”

“Auntie, don’t worry, I understand.”

“As long as you understand, then I’ll go back first.”

Zuo Ning didn’t get up to see him off, but she could faintly hear the movement outside the door through the closed door.

Fang’s mother seemed to ask Fang Jinglun to go home with her immediately, but Fang Jinglun refused, and then there was a somewhat unpleasant conversation between the two of them, occasionally accompanied by Fang’s father scolding Fang Jinglun and comforting his wife.

After a pause, Zuo Ning still used crutches to open the door of the apartment, and said to Fang Jinglun, who looked helpless at the door next door: “Go back with your aunt. She may have something to tell you. You haven’t been home for a long time. It’s time to spend time with your family.”

In fact, she can probably guess what Fang Jinglun will face after returning home, but she can’t escape what is coming.
