Chapter 129: White Lies
On Saturday night, Mrs. Lin hosted a banquet for Wang Yiyuan and the father and daughter of the client who entrusted Wang Yiyuan to find the dog. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the dinner table, Mrs. Lin made up a reason, saying that it was her own negligence that caused her to go missing in Alaska. She sincerely thanked the client: "I was temporarily ill and could not take care of the baby. Thanks to you, I brought the baby back to your home and helped me take care of it for several days, so that he could be found on the streets and become a stray dog. Thank you so much!"
The client waved his hands, but did not reply. It wasn't that he didn't want to respond to Mrs. Lin's thanks, but he knew that he wasn't as good as Mrs. Lin said. He was ashamed that when he left with the Alaska, he really had a small plan in his heart to keep the dog at home or sell it.
But now that his daughter is present, the client is not willing to show his selfish side in front of his daughter in any case.
Wang Yiyuan had also reminded him on the phone before that Mrs. Lin was to help him explain to his daughter and avoid his daughter from being unhappy because of the loss of the dog. But he didn't know what Mrs. Lin would do, so he simply watched the changes without saying a word in line with the principle of saying more and making more mistakes, saying less and making fewer mistakes, and not saying good.
Mrs. Lin seemed to inadvertently sweep her eyes over the client's daughter, and found that after the other party listened to her words, she did not have any special reaction, but just looked directly at her father very calmly, and the father and daughter did not say a word.
Mrs. Lin and Wang Yiyuan glanced at each other, and then handed the latter a reassuring look. She turned her head to look at the client's daughter and greeted her in a soft tone: "Hello, little sister." My husband's surname is Lin, so everyone else calls me Mrs. Lin, but your father is kind to me, so we don't have to be so angry. My family's surname is Wu, you can call me Sister Wu or Aunt Wu, whatever you like. Your father was such a good man and a good father. He really hurts you!"
The client, father and daughter, both turned their heads to look at Mrs. Lin.
The client was a little stunned, although she didn't listen to Mrs. Lin's meaning, she wouldn't say that she wanted to leave Alaska privately for her daughter, but the word "grace" was really a bit heart-wrenching.
The client's daughter was curious. To say that his father picked up the other party's pet and took care of it for a few days is a good person, but the other party mentioned that his father is a good father, what does this mean?
Seeing that she had successfully attracted the attention of the client's father and daughter, Mrs. Lin smiled at the two of them: "I was sad after the baby was lost, but I didn't think of any good way to get it back." Just when I was at my worst, Yiyuan found me, it turned out that she had accepted your father's commission, and she was also asking everywhere about my whereabouts as the original owner of the baby. ”
She nodded at Wang Yiyuan, then took out a note book from the small bag she was carrying, tore off one of the pages, and slowly wrote something on it with a pen, while continuing to speak: "I paid for someone to find the owner, and afterwards refused my offer of thanks." Your father's behavior is in line with the saying 'good is like water', he is willing to give kindness and does not want to reciprocate, and he is indifferent and humble as water. ”
Speaking of which, Mrs. Lin's note was also finished. She took it in her hand and checked it again, then handed the note to the client's daughter: "Come, you put this away, this is the address of my house and my contact number." ”
The latter took the note a little dazedly, and wanted to ask a question, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he didn't know what to ask, so he had to continue to stare at Mrs. Lin stupidly.
Not to mention that the client and the client's daughter don't know the situation, even Wang Yiyuan, who has more contact with Mrs. Lin, doesn't understand what she means now. The eyes of the other three people present suddenly focused on Mrs. Lin alone.
Mrs. Lin obviously anticipated everyone's reaction, and continued to explain calmly: "I'll start from the beginning. The other day, Yi Yuan came to me and told me that she was hired by your father to find the original owner of the Alaskan Malamute at your father's request. After verifying that I was indeed the baby's owner, your father personally returned it to me.
"I am grateful for your father's help, and I had promised that I would pay a sum of cash to anyone who helped me find the baby, or who could provide a clue that I could find the baby, so I offered to pay your father as a thank you fee, but he did not hesitate to refuse.
"Your father doesn't want money, don't thank, he just made a request, it's about you. Do you want to know?"
The client's daughter nodded dumbly. Even the client didn't notice that he nodded his head along with him. Only Wang Yiyuan probably guessed what Mrs. Lin meant. Sure enough, Mrs. Lin continued:
"Your father told me that you like babies very much, that you are especially happy when you are with them, and that his only hope is to make you happy. So the only thing your father asks is for me to give you and your baby a chance to play together at a convenient time.
"I have no reason to refuse a request from a father who loves his daughter, especially since this good father is also a benefactor who has helped me. What I just gave you is my home address and my phone number, if you miss the baby, feel free to call me. It doesn't matter if I bring it out, or if you come to my house, it's okay. Like your father, I want you to be happy and happy every day. ”
The client's daughter pursed her lips and looked at her father: "Dad......"
The client still didn't speak, this time because he was touched by Mrs. Lin. Mrs. Lin not only explained why the dog did not continue to stay at his house, but also made up a story to let her daughter know that she cared about her, and finally refused to leave her address and phone number, promising to let her daughter go to the dog to play with at any time. It seems that Mrs. Lin must be an extremely generous person, and she has never complained about taking her dog away.
"Dad, actually, I knew from the beginning that the dog wasn't from our family. I thought that maybe someone else was temporarily inconvenient to take care of the foster in our house, so I didn't ask the question of the dog's origin. But I really didn't know that you were actually doing good deeds, and you didn't forget to think about me. Dad, thank you! Don't worry, I won't be unhappy, I'm proud to have a dad like you!"
"Uh-huh, good daughter......" The client's voice was a little choked.
Wang Yiyuan saw that the matter had come to an end, so she clapped her hands: "Okay, happy ending! If you don't eat this dish, you'll have to reheat it. ”
She picked up the drink on the table, took turns pouring the cups to everyone, and then raised the glasses: "May good people have good rewards! May everyone be happy every day! Cheers!"
Everyone also stood up and touched their glasses.
While everyone was toasting, Wang Yiyuan nodded gratefully at Mrs. Lin, who smiled and shook her head to indicate that she was not welcome.
After that, everyone lost the previous restraints, and the dinner table after that was naturally full of laughter.
