Chapter 039: The Relationship of Father and Daughter
Tips:
Thomas looked at Irina in surprise and said, "Oh, I didn't see that you little girl can cook." There aren't many people your age who can cook these days. Hahahaha. ”
Irina looked a little sad, then smiled and said, "My parents left me when I was very young, so I learned how to support myself from an early age.
I'll do anything, even if I leave me alone in the middle of nowhere, I'll be able to take care of myself! ”
After saying that, she also patted her chest exaggeratedly to hide her sad emotions.
In fact, Irina's slight change in expression couldn't hide from Thomas at all, Thomas smiled slightly, stood up and said, "Girl, your parents left early, and I don't have any children."
It seems that today this old man of mine has a helper! Yang Fan, you and Anna wait a while, Irina and I will cook for you. ”
"Okay." Irina also got up from the couch and walked into the kitchen with Thomas.
Afterwards, Yang Fan heard the two talking and laughing in the kitchen, and sometimes discussing a few words, followed by the clanging local voice, and the quarrel between the two: "I didn't do it like that", "That's how I did it", "You can't do it like this", ......
About half an hour later, a table of food was prepared, and Yang Fan and the four of them ate together.
At the dinner table, Irina and Thomas were still complimenting each other on the deliciousness of each other's dishes, and sometimes they had to comment a few words, and even compared, letting Yang Fan and Anna be the referees, which made Yang Fan and Anna very embarrassed.
Yang Fan could see that this was the happiest Thomas had ever been since he met him.
After the meal, Irina and Thomas went to clean up the kitchen again, and Yang Fan wanted to help, but he couldn't intervene. An old man and a young man are talking and laughing in the kitchen, and they are very happy.
Yang Fan had no choice but to sit on the sofa with Anna and watch TV.
Anna suddenly said, "Irina, this girl likes Thomas. The last time I saw her like this was when I rescued her and helped her get rid of her addiction. ”
Yang Fan looked in the direction of the kitchen, listened to the laughter of the two inside, and said, "Thomas also likes Irina." You know, I've been here many times, and each time Thomas enlightened me like a mentor, an elder. But today, Thomas is doing himself, and he's really happy today. ”
While the two were talking, Thomas and Irina each walked out with two cups of coffee, Yang Fan and Anna quickly took the coffee, and Thomas and Irina sat together and sat opposite Yang Fan and Irina.
The four of them chatted for a while, Yang Fan looked at his watch, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, ready to say goodbye to Thomas.
Irina saw Yang Fan's intentions, she put the coffee cup in her hand again, looked at Thomas and said, "Mr. Thomas, I... I have something to say. ”
Yang Fan and Anna looked at each other, and they both saw that Irina was a little excited. Thomas also turned his head to look at Irina and said, "Girl, say whatever you want." ”
Irina put down her coffee, looked at Thomas, her eyes were already a little moist, and whispered, "Mr. Thomas, I didn't have parents when I was very young. The last time I saw my father, we cooked together. Seeing you, and the scene just now, I ...... I felt very gracious. I want to ......"
Thomas interrupted Irina directly, smiled and said, "Son, I'm fifty-three years old this year. When I was young, every day was a task, a task, and I was always living in a rain of bullets. There have been many women, but none of them are willing to marry someone like me.
When I was younger, I didn't care, I thought that freedom and happiness were the life I wanted. When I got old, I realized that that so-called freedom brought me a sequelae, that is, loneliness.
For so many years, it was always a person, repeating the same thing every day. As long as there is some movement in front of the door, I will go out to see, how I hope that someone will come to me as an old man, even if it is the wrong person.
At that time, I realized that the most painful thing in this life is that there is no concern and expectation.
So, child, if you don't dislike me as an old man, then I'll recognize you as a goddaughter.
After that, we both had something to rely on. It can be regarded as making up for some of their regrets. What do you see? ”
Irina looked at Thomas, didn't say anything, tears were already flowing, she hugged Thomas, cried in Thomas's arms, and shouted in a choked voice, "Daddy." ”
"Hey, hey, hey!" Thomas also hugged Irina and cried, patting Irina on the shoulder, and you agreed.
Yang Fan and Anna looked at the two of them, Irina is only 25 years old this year, according to the age, Thomas is really his father's age, and she must have seen her father's shadow in Thomas.
Thomas, on the other hand, has never enjoyed the warmth of his family, and Irina is indeed able to bring new hope to his lonely life.
Both Yang Fan and Anna were happy for them.
After both of them were emotionally stable, Yang Fan, Anna, and Irina left Thomas's house with Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu.
Irina and Thomas hugged each other, and took Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu into the car first. After Yang Fan and Anna said goodbye to Thomas respectively, they also got into the car.
Yang Fan started the car, and they slowly drove away from Thomas's house. Irina has been looking at Thomas's figure in the back window, and Thomas has been waiting for a long time, beckoning to say goodbye to Yang Fan and the others.
At this moment, Thomas was concerned again.
The car turned into the highway, Thomas disappeared at the end of the road, and Irina also turned her head to look ahead, touched Xiao Jiu's head with her left hand, and leaned her head against the car window.
Yang Fan remembered the scene when his adoptive mother saw him and his adoptive father and sister four years ago, and they never returned home since.
Yang Fan felt that Thomas was right, the most terrifying thing in life was that there was no expectation and concern, and the concern for his adoptive mother and guilt for himself were the reasons to support Yang Fan's survival.
And now, he has expectations for his sister again, as well as these brothers around him, and Anna.
Yang Fan finally understood that no matter how much the darkness of the past has brought to your soul, it only takes a little hope for the future to fill it. The premise is that your heart must yearn for the light.
This truth is now more clear to Irina. Coming out of Thomas's house, Irina didn't speak, just kept stroking Xiao Jiu's head, looking out the window, tears still flowed from time to time in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth kept smiling.
Irina's past is only painful, and her seemingly easy performance on the outside is nothing more than perfunctory and self-deception, but she now has the capital to fight it all.
Chapter 039: The Fate of Father and Daughter (
Tips:
Irina suddenly looked at Yang Fan and said, "Yang Fan, I want to formally say thank you today. Thank you for letting me know Thomas, I always thought that I would only have one relative in my life.
I didn't expect to meet Thomas today, in fact, he is really like my father.
My father was an electrical engineer when he died, but our family was a middle-class family, and the war ruined all of this, and I was orphaned.
My father was the same age as Thomas, and Thomas was a survivor of the war, he had no children, and he was actually an orphan.
My father's favorite thing to do was teach me to cook, he wanted me to be independent, but I just wanted him to cook for me for the rest of my life.
And Thomas told me when I was away that he was willing to cook for me for the rest of his life. ”
Irina wiped away her tears and continued, "Actually, I don't know what I'm talking about now, and I don't know why I trust Thomas so much. All I know is that it feels good to have a home. ”
Yang Fan and Anna both understand Irina's current mood, and with one more relative in their lives, life will be completely different.
Yang Fan was even thinking that if he really saw his sister again one day, would he be even more exaggerated than Irina, and he would probably be speechless with excitement.
Yang Fan pretended to raise his right hand easily, just like when he was in school, he had to make a report before speaking.
"What are you doing?!" Irina asked with a frown.
Yang Fan stammered, and said with a hint of a smile: "That, Irina." You just said that you now have two relatives in your life, right? That...... Do I count? Even if it's half a half. ”
Irina was stunned for a moment, and then laughed angrily at Yang Fan, stretched out her arm and hit Yang Fan's hand, and said, "You are a fart!" Half doesn't count! Not only do you not count, but you also robbed my boss.
If it weren't for Thomas's affair, I would have considered you an enemy! Return the loved ones! Don't dream! ”
Yang Fan originally just wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but he didn't expect that this anger was too active.
Anna wasn't stopping Irina either, and she knew how important today was to Anna. And she also slowly accepted the special relationship between herself and Yang Fan, at least in front of Irina.
Yang Fan put his hand on the steering wheel again and said, "Irina, Ewen may have some things to deal with tomorrow morning, and we will go down to San Francisco tomorrow."
If you're okay in the morning, you can send Seven and Nine to Thomas, and you can pick them up when we get back from San Francisco. This way, you can also talk to Thomas a little more and get to know each other. ”
Irina thought for a moment and said, "Okay then. Then I'll go buy some fruit tomorrow, his fridge is almost full of meat, and vegetables and fruits are pitiful.
They all say that you men are carnivores, and it's true. But godfather must have suffered a lot before, and now he should enjoy it. And then bring some commonly used medicines, and ......"
Irina said a lot to herself, and Yang Fan and Anna looked at each other and smiled, but did not interrupt her.
Irina said again: "Yang Fan, you left me the car keys today." Xiao Qi, you take it back first, tomorrow I will go to the training ground to find you at 7 o'clock, and take Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu together. ”
"Okay, no problem." Yang Fan said.
Irina thought for a moment, then leaned behind Anna's seat and said, "Boss, we used to be two people, and one person and one sports car were fine. Now with the addition of Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu, there are a bit more family members, and my Ferrari 458 and your Aston Martin DBS can't sit down.
You say, should we let Yang Fan give us a four-seater car? It's my reward for helping him take care of Xiao Qi for so long. What do you think? ”
Anna looked back at Irina and said with a serious face, "You girl! Didn't Yang Fan send a relative? That's not enough! Besides, wouldn't each of us drive a car to carry Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu? ”
When Irina heard Anna's words, she immediately deflated, leaned back in the back seat, and muttered softly, "Hey, it's not taken seriously!" ”
She reached out and touched Xiao Jiu's head and muttered, "Xiao Jiu." I'm just trying to help you both get a good travel environment! I didn't expect that the boss doesn't pay attention to us anymore! Hey......"
Irina muttered to herself for a while, and found that it did not attract the attention of Yang Fan and Anna, so she sat up again, leaned into Yang Fan's ear, and asked, "Yang Fan, I heard that you have a saying in Huaxia called 'women do not stay in the middle', does that mean?" ”
Anna turned her head to look at this Irina, and said angrily, "You dead girl, what nonsense! That sentence is said by the elders of the family to the younger generations, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense! ”
"Oh." Irina looked out the window again, seemingly nonchalant, and muttered, "That's not all the same thing." ”
Yang Fan looked at Anna and said, "It's okay, Anna." Actually, I've always had the idea of buying a luxury car, and although we are mercenaries now, we will change careers one day.
When our mission is done, maybe we will do something else and need a good car.
Although you said not to make any plans for the future, there must always be a general direction. And...... You and Irina often have to go out on missions and need to drive.
So, so I've always wanted to order a bulletproof car for you to use on a regular basis, so that it can be safer. ”
Anna looked at Yang Fan, nodded with a smile, and said, "That's fine." By the way, Mr. Lewis's assistant contacted us some time ago and told us to make sure we had to pay a visit to Mr. Lewis's headquarters in California before Christmas. He said he wanted to tell us about your investment and wanted to see us again. ”
Yang Fan nodded and said, "Okay, but this is not in a hurry." ”
He turned to look at Irina again and said, "Irina, there is a business card in the glove compartment of the car, which belongs to Selena."
I consulted when I helped Ian order a car before, and they can customize bulletproof cars there, but it may take at least half a year, but fortunately, we are not in a hurry to use it.
I want to customize a Maybach top-of-the-line bulletproof car with the highest level of bulletproof. Then this task will be handed over to you, and if you and Anna are in California in the future, you can drive this car. It's about $1.5 million, and I'll pay her when you place your order! ”
