Chapter 12: Father and Daughter Talk
Humming a song all the way, Diao Ranran tried to shake away the unhappiness caused by this little episode in his mind and drove home.
The maid Aunt Bao opened the door, took the paper bag and handbag in Diao Ranran's hand, and said happily while helping her with her slippers: "Ranran is back, Mr. Diao has just come back, waiting for you in the study." ”
Diao Ranran, who was taking off his high heels, was stunned for a moment, reacted for a few seconds, and then replied a little stiffly: "I, my dad is coming home tonight?"
In the past month, Diao Chengxi has only been back twice, and today is the second time.
Fortunately, she has not shown any horses, otherwise, with the keen observation unique to a successful businessman like Diao Chengxi, it is difficult for him not to find some clues.
"Yes, he also said that if you come back, you will go to the study to find him. You have to be more coquettish as a daughter, don't let those shameless vixens pester him all day long, Mr. Diao is just in his early fifties, how many women with bad intentions are worried about ......"
Aunt Bao smiled, suddenly remembered something, and lowered her voice to tell Diao Ranran.
She has worked diligently in the Diao family for nearly 30 years, older than Diao Ranran, she has come to the Diao family before Diao Chengxi got married, her husband is also the gardener of the Diao family, and the two have an only child who has just graduated for two years. Because she is kind and outspoken, she is particularly distressed by Diao Ranran, a child who has lost his mother at a few years old. Therefore, Diao Ranran has always regarded her as half a mother.
She changed into slippers, tugged at the corners of her mouth, and didn't say anything.
It should be Bai Novi, Aunt Bao has always seen people very clearly, and her relationship with Diao Chengxi can't hide this kind of middle-aged woman who is comparable to a private detective.
Diao Ranran walked to the third floor, stood firm in front of the study, adjusted his breathing, and then gently knocked on the door in front of him.
A few seconds later, a calm male voice came from inside - "Please come in." ”
She has always felt that Diao Ranran's unhurried style of doing things in "Lumine" must have been inherited from Diao Chengxi. It always feels as if he is deliberately losing people's appetites, making the other party impatient and involuntarily exposing his shortcomings, so that it is easy for him to hit with one hit.
In shopping malls, this trick is especially tried and tested.
Pushing the door and walking in, Diao Ranran saw that his father Diao Chengxi was sitting at the table, wearing glasses, looking at old photo albums. A few of them are spread out, and although the photos inside are well preserved, they inevitably leave traces of time.
"Ranran, come here. ”
He heard the voice and beckoned to her, and she walked over and stood beside him.
In the photo in front of her, there is a young woman holding a little girl, but she is twenty-six or seventeen years old, smiling sweetly, and there is a pair of small pear vortices on the side of her mouth, which is exactly the same as Diao Ranran.
"Hey, time is so fast, you blink an eye, your mother has been gone for fifteen years......"
Diao Chengxi seemed to be unable to bear to look at it anymore, took off his glasses, wiped his wet eyes, and slowly buckled the photo album on the table.
"Daddy......"
Diao Ranran was infected by his tone, and couldn't help but have a sour nose.
Like Diao Ranran, Ran Xixi has never seen her biological mother since she was a child, and when she was ten years old, her father Ran Tianze married another wife, Ruan Fan.
Stepmother Ruan Fan is very young, only six years older than Ran Xixi, although she is also mild-tempered, but the relationship with her stepdaughter Ran Xixi is always separated by a belly. She always wanted to have a child of her own, but until the Ran family went bankrupt, she couldn't do it.
