Chapter 39: Refusal
Before the others could react, Tang Yuantian was slapped in the face, it was Xu Fengnian, her face was flushed with anger, and the hand she had beaten was still trembling in mid-air.
"Mom, why are you beating my dad?" Tang Yuyang stopped her in the past, even if she was angry, she couldn't beat someone in front of outsiders, men want to save face, even if Tang Yuantian did something wrong, he was also the head of the family, if you want to make noise, you can wait for someone to leave, you can do whatever you want.
"Who do I don't beat him? Eat me and use mine, and there is still an illegitimate daughter outside! How can you let me endure it?" Xu Fengnian is a woman who wants to save face, and she knows from the pomp of her 60th birthday, enjoying a lofty posture.
"Mom, calm down first. Tang Yuyang gave Tang Yuyao a look and asked her to say a few words.
Tang Yuyao obediently did so, pulled Xu Fengnian's arm and sat down, "Mom, don't blame my dad, he doesn't know about this matter, let's talk about it." β
Xu Fengnian sat down at this time, but her face was still very bad, this matter was outside her budget, and she actually let Jiang Ningxiu take the limelight, how could she be willing?
"Tell me, when is it?" Xu Fengnian asked Tang Yuantian.
Now that everyone knows, she is not afraid that she will not be able to lose this person, and she must know the detailed process.
Tang Yuantian had a five-finger print on his face, he was beaten anyway, and he was no longer afraid of anything, he looked at Jiang Ningxiu brightly, and a rare tenderness appeared in his eyes.
Then he looked at Jiang Li again, he had always wanted a daughter in his heart, so he didn't refuse when Xu Fengnian adopted Tang Yuyao later, and now that his biological daughter is in front of him, what is Tang Yuyao?
Jiang Li touched his eyes and turned away from looking.
Through Tang Yuantian's narration, I learned that more than 20 years ago, Jiang Ningxiu and Tang Yuantian met by chance, the two liked each other, and it was each other's first love, so they cherished this relationship very much.
Later, Tang Yuantian proposed to the Jiang family and wanted to marry Jiang Ningxiu, but at that time, Jiang Ningxiu's family conditions were good in Jiangcheng, Tang Yuantian had nothing, in that era, how could his parents agree to let a person who had nothing marry his daughter.
Later, Ning Xiu's father asked me to prepare a 50,000 bride price to marry her. Tang Yuantian recalled, "I'm just an ordinary office worker, and I'm still very struggling to make ends meet, how can I get 50,000 yuan......?"
It's just that he thought that Xu Fengnian was willing to give 100,000 yuan, which was lent to him, but he didn't expect Xu Fengnian's family to find a matchmaker to tell them about their relatives the next day.
In front of so many people, how could Tang Yuantian be embarrassed to refuse? How could he be embarrassed to make Miss Xu Fengnian's family lose face?
"So, in order not to let her lose face, you agreed?" At this time, Jiang Ningxiu spoke, her voice was a little choked, maybe this has always been a regret and unsolved mystery in her heart.
"Ning Xiu, I really have a hard time, I originally thought that I would marry you when I got the money, how did I know that it would be ......" Tang Yuantian also reddened his eyes and wanted to care about her, but Xu Fengnian kept staring at the side, and he couldn't get a chance.
"You don't need to say more, I see. β
It's a foregone conclusion, so what's the use of saying more?
Later, Jiang Ningxiu waited at home for several days, and there was no news of Tang Yuantian, and then I heard that he was married, but she was pregnant.
Being pregnant out of wedlock will not be accepted at any time, not to mention that her fiancΓ© is still gone, and the family can't accommodate her, so she has two choices, either beat the child or leave the house.
Jiang Ningxiu was soft-hearted, reluctant to have a child, and more importantly, this child was still Tang Yuantian, so he chose to leave home and give birth to Jiang Li alone.
Hearing this, Jiang Li's eyes also turned red, and she took Jiang Ningxiu's hand, she now knew how difficult it was for her, "Mom, you have worked hard." β
"As long as you're good, what's the point of my hard work?"
Jiang Li finally understood why Jiang Ningxiu was very opposed when she was with Qin Lang at the beginning, maybe she saw her own shadow in her.
"Ning Xiu, I'm sorry for your mother and daughter...... Tang Yuantian cried, if he had known that Jiang Ningxiu had a child and gave birth to the child under pressure, he would not have gotten married.
Tang Yuantian had a very good idea before, after marrying Xu Fengnian, he would find a reason to divorce her and marry Jiang Ningxiu with money, who knew that Xu Fengnian had a son in his stomach, Tang Yuantian's family was happy, and said that he would not let him divorce, so it was over.
After hearing these words, several people's hearts were complicated.
Jiang Li realized that it was not easy for her mother, but she only felt that Tang Yuantian was cowardly and incompetent, and he couldn't decide his own happiness, how could he be worthy of being a father?
And Tang Yuyang was even more uncomfortable, it turned out that his family was not as happy as he saw, and his father's concession to his mother was not because of love, and then looking at Jiang Li, how could he have thought that this person would be his sister?
"With the story done, it's time for us to go back. Jiang Li didn't want to stay here, so she was about to leave with Jiang Ningxiu.
Tang Yuantian hadn't seen them for so many years, and he missed them very much, and he got up and wanted to keep them, but Xu Fengnian grabbed him, "What are you doing?"
"It's obvious that you ruined my feelings, why are you embarrassed to say it?" Tang Yuantian refuted her for the first time in his life.
Xu Fengnian was very surprised, tilted his head to look at him, "Heh, Tang Yuantian, you are now more capable? Do you dare to talk back to me? If you hadn't taken a fancy to my money at the beginning, you would still be a poor boy now! You still want to marry a daughter-in-law? Dream! Let me tell you, if you step out of this door, I will let Tang Yuyang change his surname! Let me!"
"You dare!"
"What do you think I wouldn't dare?"
While they were arguing, Jiang Li and the others quickly left this place of right and wrong, and they would definitely not come back in the future.
When he got to the door to get into the car, Tang Yuyang chased him out.
"I'm sorry, my parents ...... them" Tang Yuyang suddenly didn't know what to say, "Jiang Li, can you have time to have a meal together?"
When he said this, his eyes lingered on Fang Wanqing's body for a moment, Jiang Li understood, because they were friends, and the relationship with Tang Yuyang was not to mention.
"Forget about eating, I'm afraid your mother will beat me up again. Jiang Li has something to say.
"This ...... Gu Cun, let's talk about it!"
Gu Cun, who had not spoken, only left one sentence: "I listen to my wife." β
On the way back from the Tang family, the mood was completely different, Jiang Li lowered her head and was stunned, her mind was full of Tang Yuantian's weak appearance, every word he said could imagine the picture, why would such a man get Jiang Ningxiu's heart?
Love is originally an indescribable thing, no matter what Tang Yuantian looks like now, it may have been attractive at that time.
Glancing at Jiang Ningxiu next to her, she could understand when she asked her when she was a child, why everyone else had a father but she didn't, Jiang Ningxiu fiercely told her that her father was dead, maybe for her, Tang Yuantian died from the moment she married Xu Fengnian, and she could also feel that when she finished saying that, she turned around and quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Stretched out his hand and gently held her, it doesn't matter, even if there is no father, Jiang Ningxiu still has her.
After tossing for such an afternoon, Jiang Li was also tired, so she took care of Jiang Ningxiu and went back to the room after resting early, and she didn't feel sleepy for a while, so she put on a coat and went to find Gu Cun.
"Gu Cun, are you busy?"
"Not busy. β
Gu Cun sat in front of the computer and looked at the dense documents, thinking that he hadn't read them all afternoon's work.
"What's wrong?" Gu Cun looked at her as if she was very unenergetic, and hugged her in his arms, "Are you still worried about the afternoon?"
Jiang Li nodded, "Well, you know I don't want to admit this father's ...... He ......"
"If you don't want to, then don't admit it, no one will force you. Gu Cun patiently said to her, "Your mother didn't say anything about the previous generation, and of course we as children can't say anything, what do you think?"
She knew the truth, but when she thought that her imaginary father was Tang Yuantian, she couldn't accept it.
Gu Cun guessed what she thought, and didn't say much, this still needs to be overcome by herself.
After staying for a while, the time was not early, and they had to get up early to go to work tomorrow, so the two went back to their rooms to sleep......
β¦β¦
Jiang Li arrived at the company at half past nine and found that Ning Sisi, who usually came early, had not come until now, and was about to call when Li Li came.
"Mr. Jiang, Sisi asked me to tell you in the morning, she has something to do at home and will come later. β
Jiang Li is not an unreasonable person, and Ning Sisi usually works hard and will not be late or leave early, since there is an emergency, he doesn't take it to heart.
I had a meeting with the designer, and after finalizing the design plan for the new project, I returned to the office to continue the drawings.
What Jiang Li thought was that since she took over this job, she had to be perfect, and she couldn't leave a handle for Yu Sizhe, the main thing was that she also thought of Gu Cun's words, Yu Sizhe had enough resources, if this list could be done well and had a good reputation, then there would definitely be a steady stream of orders in the future.
Halfway through, Yu Sizhe called and asked her when the plan would come out, so she could have a simple docking first, and made an appointment with him the next morning.
As soon as he hung up the phone, Ning Sisi panted and pushed open the office door, "I'm sorry...... Mr. Jiang, I'm late. β
"Why are you in such a hurry? I don't blame you, has the situation at home been solved?" Jiang Li walked to the door and found that there was still a person standing outside, it was Li Yuan, and said in surprise, "Didn't you go to the company with Gu Cun?"
Li Yuan coughed unnaturally, "Go out to run errands and see her...... was waiting for the car, so I dropped her over by the way. β
"Oh? just by the way?"
The smart Jiang Li had already seen that the relationship between the two was not ordinary, so he didn't say anything, how could there be such a coincidence in this world?
"Well, I still have a job, so I'll go first. Li Yuan was still so cold, and glanced at Ning Sisi before leaving.
Ning Sisi's face was very red, I don't know if it was because she was in a hurry or because of what she said just now, anyway, it was an abnormal flush.
"Okay, don't stand in a daze, hurry up and go to work, if you don't work well, I'll deduct your salary!" Jiang Li deliberately scared her.
Ning Sisi hurriedly returned to her seat and turned on the computer to work.
At noon, at the door of Ruifeng Decoration Company, a man with sunglasses wandered back and forth at the door, because it was rest time, the security guards on both sides went to eat, only Li Li at the front desk was on duty inside, she had already noticed the man outside, sneakily didn't know what he was doing.
Li Li dared to go out and asked, "This gentleman, may I ask you something?"
"I ...... I'm fine. The man seemed to be flustered, hurriedly covered up, took two steps and turned back, "Excuse me, do you have someone named Jiang Li here?"
"Are you looking for Mr. Jiang? Li Li said, opening the door and letting him in.
The man hesitated, but still went in, and Li Li led him to the door of the office, "Mr. Jiang is inside." β
"Good. β
The man waited until Li Li left before gently pushing open the door and saw Jiang Li looking down at the computer and not noticing that someone had come in.
It was the first time he saw Jiang Li working so seriously, so he didn't dare to disturb her and watched from the side.
Jiang Li was preparing the design plan for tomorrow's docking, and was about to put the finishing touches on it, when she vaguely heard someone open the door, but she didn't hear the sound of talking, thinking it was Ning Sisi.
Habitually said, "Sisi, please give me that thing." β
The man didn't know what she wanted, looked at it on the table, and didn't dare to speak, Jiang Li immediately felt that something was wrong, kept the things, looked up impatiently, and saw that the person in front of him was stunned, and his face instantly showed a bored expression, "What are you doing here?" I don't welcome you here, go out!"
"Jiang Li, I just want to come and see you......" This person is Tang Yuantian, taking advantage of Xu Fengnian's absence, he quietly came out and inquired about Jiang Li's place of work.
"You let me out! I don't want to see you!" Jiang Li didn't save face for him, and pointed to the door to drive him away.
"Jiang Li, I'm your father, I came to see you because I cared about you, this is what I brought to you......" Tang Yuantian put the package on the table, and the smell of fragrant food came from inside.
Jiang Li pushed it open without thinking about it, and the package fell to the ground, and the food inside also spilled.
"This ......" Tang Yuantian was at a loss for a while, he imagined Jiang Li rejecting him, but he didn't expect such a big reaction, "I know it was all my fault before, I want to make up for you now, can you please give me a chance?"
Seeing him whispering, Jiang Li's heart was very uncomfortable, and he felt unworthy for his mother.
"I don't need to, my mom is right, my dad has died a long time ago, now please leave immediately, otherwise I will call the police!"
"Don't ...... Don't call the police, I'll go!" Tang Yuantian walked to the door, turned around and said again, "I am ready to divorce Xu Fengnian, I will definitely pay back what I owe your mother, and I will give you a complete home...... Bang......"
Before he could finish his sentence, the lunch box in the package slammed over, followed by the sound of the door being slammed shut.
