Chapter 13: Prelude to the Wedding Symphony
The black and deep Bentley slowly stopped at the school gate, and the driver handed Tang He a cigarette, and spoke in a respectful tone: "Sir, this seems to be the first time you have come to your daughter's school since you settled down." ”
Tang He nodded politely.
He opened the window to let in the air, his heart was solemn, and a girl's silver bell-like laughter came from afar, "I didn't expect you to be deceived by me, please call me the Oscar-winning actress!"
"Liao Tang. Tang He frowned and shouted at the laughing girl.
Liao Tang withdrew her smile for a second, looked into the car, and whispered, "My dad is here." ”
"Hello Uncle Tang. The two walked to the car, and Tang Yunan was polite to him.
"Get in the car. ”
The air in the car suddenly froze, Tang Yunan thought about how to break the dull atmosphere, and Liao Tang closed his eyes and rested without saying a word.
Tang Yun'an always felt that Liao Tang was extremely calm and mature in front of Tang He, and he didn't make a fuss or smile compared to usual.
"Converge your temperament. After a while, Tang He said this.
Liao Tang opened his eyes gently, the radio in the car was reporting the weather forecast, and the official female voice came out: "The rain has increased significantly today and tomorrow, remember to bring an umbrella when you travel......"
Liao Tang suddenly spoke: "Dad, Aunt Tang loves you very much, you have to cherish it." ”
Tang Yunan didn't expect her to say this, and when she first saw her, she felt that she was very indifferent to her mother.
Tang He glanced at Liao Tang through the rearview mirror, but in the end he didn't say a word more.
"Thank you for your kindness. Tang Yunan watched the driver stop, Tang He walked into the back of the house alone, Tang Yunan said casually.
At that moment, the two stood on the garden promenade, and the sky was drizzling, which was quite a sense of sympathy.
Liao Tang didn't care and asked, "Why don't you stare at me?"
"Because you make me hate it. Tang Yunan glanced down at the girl who was a cut short of herself, and said with a smile, "After all, it's Sister Liao now." ”
After finishing speaking, Tang Yunan's eyes were a little more unknown melancholy.
Liao Tang said: "Don't, don't call me that." The whole person had goosebumps falling to the ground. ”
Later, at the dining table, the housekeeper served a lot of delicacies, one after another, but the four of them didn't seem to have much appetite, Tang Yunan didn't even move his chopsticks a few times because he ate dinner.
Tang Yun'an's mother, Tang Lanxin, was in a happy mood, so naturally she didn't notice it, and kept serving them vegetables.
Liao Tang thought, why is it so depressing to eat a meal at home, obviously there are white-cut chicken, braised pigeon, crispy roast goose, fragrant and smooth fish balls, and Cantonese soup...... A collection of famous Cantonese dishes.
Tang Yunan put down his chopsticks, "Mom, I'm full, you use it slowly." ”
"You kid, why do you eat so little?"
"I'm full, too. Liao Tang silently put down his chopsticks and prepared to go back to the room.
Seeing that the two of them were about to leave the table, Tang He carefully wiped his mouth with a napkin and said in a muffled voice: "Tomorrow's wedding, you also have to go through the ceremony." ”
Liao Tang glanced at Tang Yun'an beside him in slight surprise, could it be that we should be "golden boys and girls"?
Tang Lanxin's face was as gentle as water, as if she saw the reluctance of the two children, she shook Tang He's hand lightly: "Maybe there will be a press conference, it's not good to let the children show up." ”
Tang He frowned, became serious, and said, "It's better to think thoughtfully, so as not to hype." ”
Tang Yunan couldn't figure out which scandal Tang He had before when he hadn't been in a big uproar, and why the wedding with his mother was hasty and low-key.
"Just be there. ”
Hearing Tang Xinlan's thoughtful words, Liao Tang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Tang." ”
At that moment, Liao Tang really felt the scarcity since childhood and the desire for warmth, although her tone was soft and flat.
Tang Yun'an and Liao Tang's room faced each other, separated by a corridor. When she went upstairs, Liao Tang still had a trace of warmth in her heart, and she said: "Tang Yun'an, I really envy you for having such a kind mother." Clean, not worldly. ”
"What about your mother?" Tang Yunan asked, hesitated for a moment and then said, "In the office, you said that is not the truth. ”
Liao Tang stood in front of the door, squinted his eyes and said to him with a smile, "I don't know," and added as if self-deprecating, "Maybe it could be a cheesy woman in the world?"
◇◇◇
Liao Tang woke up and found himself lying on a comfortable and soft bed, in a comfortable mood. The light in the room was weak, and it seemed to be cloudy outside the window, and when I looked up and saw the piano placed opposite, I didn't know if the person had gone to school.
She opened the wardrobe and tinkered with for a while, and looked at the phone that hadn't been turned on for a long time with her right hand.
Then he picked out the camel-colored thin trench coat hanging on the hanger.
When Liao Tang changed his clothes and went downstairs, Tang Yunan was squeezing juice in the kitchen, she was still a little unaccustomed to it, and there was an extra person of her age at home.
"Morning," Tang Yun'an turned around and waved at her after hearing the movement, "I squeezed the juice for you." ”
"Why bother you to do it, what about the cooking aunt at home?"
"I went to the wedding with them early in the morning. ”
"Okay. Liao Tang took the glass from Tang Yun'an's hand and said softly.
"How are you wearing today, it's a bit much?" Tang Yunan was curious for a while, he thought that Liao Tang would wear a dress, a lace skirt and something like that.
"It's cold outside, it's not summer yet. ”
Tang Yunan thought that when his mother went out in the morning, she only wore a bandeau knee-length wedding dress, he hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled almost inaudibly: "Maybe you don't love beauty, and you blame the cold weather." ”
“......”
Liao Tang had nothing to say. After a while, the doorbell rang outside, and Tang Yunan said, "The driver should have come to pick us up." ”
Liao Tang noticed that Tang Yunan was wearing a slightly tight-fitting black suit with a bow tie, like a jade tree in the wind, with a graceful demeanor.
But Liao Tang Lao felt awkward, and the loose vest seemed to be more suitable for this sunny basketball boy.
Tang He set the venue for the wedding in the suburbs that provided "5,800 square meters of elegant garden" and "2,000 square meters of activity lawn".
The only inconvenience is that it is more troublesome to go back and forth, and there is no accommodation nearby.
The driver said, "There may be rain later." ”
Liao Tang rolled down the window, the gray sky dark clouds moved slowly, and the black clouds on the horizon in the distance rose. She was shocked that this was already the second round of heavy rainfall in the south.
"Can the wedding still be held as usual?" asked Tang Yun'an.
The driver seemed to think of something, sighed and said, "I don't know why, the news of Mr. Tang's marriage was released, and many reporters came." ”
Liao Tang reacted a little when he heard it, and looked down at his watch, it was less than noon, but it was close to the wedding banquet.
"They all bumped into each other. Liao Tang frowned and muttered in his heart, hoping that the wedding could be held smoothly.
Tang Yunan was puzzled: "It's good that the reporter is here, it will look like the wedding is grand and high-profile." ”
Liao Tang gave him a blank look.
"By the way," the driver stared at the front seriously, paused and said, "Mr. Tang specially told me to let Miss Liao try not to show up in front of reporters, for fear of bad impact." ”
Liao Tang expressed understanding.
In addition to Tang He's acquaintances, friends know that he has Liao Tang's daughter. Outsiders almost didn't even know her name, only rumors spread that Tang He and a woman who didn't care had an illegitimate daughter.
Tang He said that he didn't take his surname, because he wanted Liao Tang's life to be peaceful and not to be disturbed. And Liao Tang felt that he just didn't want to have another burden.
Tang Yun'an pondered for a while, and immediately asked, "So, did you deliberately leave the file column blank?
Liao Tang glanced at Tang Yun'an and didn't say anything, he didn't expect him to link the two together so quickly.
"How much debt does your dad owe?"
Liao Tang said: "That's his business. ”
"What about you before, was the identity of Tang He's daughter not revealed?" Tang Yunan stopped talking, and finally asked, "What if it is discovered?"
Liao Tang smiled helplessly and said, "What do you care about so much." ”
There was a burst of spring thunder not far away, and seeing that he was about to arrive at his destination, Liao Tang explained to Tang Yunan, "At that time in Beijing, he was well-connected, and there were many things that he didn't have time to deal with here. ”
"Is it so difficult to tell your own daughter?" Tang Yunan sighed lightly, feeling angry and amused at the maintenance of the self-image of the public figure Tang He.
"There's no need. Liao Tang replied to him succinctly.
If everyone knew that she was Tang He's daughter, they would have endless criticism of her, and in comparison, it would really be much easier to have no title.
Liao Tang felt that the future was created by himself, not given by Tang He. Compared with her musical talent, she wants to attack the film and television industry and become an excellent actor, even if she starts with a small traffic idol.
