Tang Xi glanced around at the shocked Fu family, and finally returned his gaze to Teng Zhongqian, and smiled faintly: "What qualifications do you have?" ”

Teng Zhongqian was shocked, his body shook slightly, looked at Tang Xien, didn't speak for a long time, and finally, he whispered a little lonely: "En, don't be impulsive, give Dad a chance to explain to you what happened back then." ”

In fact, this moment is the best time to clarify the misunderstanding, but Teng Zhongqian didn't want to mention his grievances with the Gu family and Tang Xien's mother in front of the Fu family, so he endured it and didn't mention half of the things back then.

Tang Xien looked at him quietly for a moment, then looked at the Fu family with different expressions, and suddenly turned around and walked out of the living room.

Teng Zhongqian followed, and the two stood still in front of the rockery, but the Fu family didn't follow them very interestingly, leaving this silence to them.

Tang Xi put his hands in the pockets of his coat and coat, didn't say anything, and just quietly looked at the goldfish coming and going freely in the pool under the rockery.

Teng Zhongqian glanced at the gate of the outer courtyard that might rush into the Gu family at any time, and suggested, "En, let's go to the teahouse in Houhai and sit down?" ”

Tang Xien didn't say if he wanted to, just turned around quietly and walked towards the gate.

The two of them walked out of the gate of the Fu family's old house, passed the Gu family's old house, crossed the road, and walked all the way to Houhai.

Although Tang Xi'en was expressionless and didn't say anything, she looked very calm, compared to the emotional excitement when they met Teng Zhongqian for the first time in the hospital after knowing Teng Zhongqian's identity, she was so quiet that Teng Zhongqian was a little uncertain.

The two tacitly went to the "China Teahouse" where they met for the first time.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, every family is playing hot pot at home, and there is no one in the teahouse, which is a little deserted. Japanese-style wind chimes make a crisp chime as the door of the store opens.

"Welcome." The clerk greeted him warmly from behind the bar, "Happy New Year, Mr. Teng, or is it the private room upstairs?" ”

Teng Zhongqian bowed, walked to the staircase, and stopped to wait for Tang Xien to come over. He leaned over slightly, raised his arm, grabbed Tang Xien's shoulders, and went upstairs with her.

The clerk followed behind him, stayed upstairs, stepped forward a few steps, and pushed open the sliding door of the private room last time: "Two of you, please." ”

Don Sheehan walked in and sat down in the same position as last time.

Teng Zhongqian also sat down, ordered a few pastries that girls like to eat, and began to iron the tea set and prepare to make tea.

The clerk ordered and left, and the sliding door was closed again.

The kettle on the table was steaming, and Teng Zhongqian opened a bag of tea leaves and poured it into the scalded teapot.

While waiting for the water to boil, he woke up with his hands, and he could see the tired face, and tried to squeeze a smile at Tang Xien, and said softly: "En, now there are only our father and daughter here, what are you angry with your father, just say it." Dad can explain, and I hope you give Dad a chance to explain; Dad did something wrong, and I hope you give Dad a chance to compensate you...... and your mother. ”

Tang Xien stared at the white jade porcelain cup in the center of the table, and didn't speak for a long time.

She had so much to ask, so many things to know, that she didn't know where to start.

Before today, she hated Teng Zhongqian very deeply, and felt that Teng Zhongqian didn't dare to recognize her because she was afraid that his wife and daughter would be unhappy.

Her emotions are primitive - low self-esteem, jealousy.

Originally, she had a fantasy that her biological father had abandoned them back then, maybe because he had an accident or even amnesia after returning to the city, so he hadn't come to them all these years.

But when she knew that the person who abandoned Li Miaolian back then was Teng Zhongqian, the son-in-law of the Gu family, and Teng Zhongqian also had a daughter who was about half a year younger than her, she instinctively thought that the reason why Teng Zhongqian abandoned Li Miaolian back then was probably because he had a better partner Gu Yi after returning to the city.

He abandoned Li Miaolian, who was born poor, in order to be the son-in-law of the Gu family, naturally because he disliked and looked down on Li Miaolian's background. In this way, how could he afford this illegitimate daughter who had never thought of being responsible back then?

When he figured all this, Tang Xien only had inferiority in his heart.

She even went crazy and imagined that Teng Zhongqian didn't plan to recognize her because he loved his wife and daughter, so he didn't let her existence save face on his wife and daughter, so she was jealous and jealous of Teng Zhongqian's wife and daughter.

These two emotions are the lowest and most negative of all emotions, and even many people break down or do bad things because of these two primitive emotions.

These emotions came to her door during her most difficult days - after she came out of the police station.

During that time, she had to face the malicious slander of the Jian family, the unhappiness of her career, and Li Miaolian's illness, how much perseverance did she use to restrain herself from collapsing because of these emotions.

Often in the dead of night, remembering that Teng Zhongqian knew that she had existed for a year, but pretended not to know anything and treated her as an unrelated person, she felt that he was cold-blooded, cold-blooded outrageously.

Thinking that such a person she had been looking for for years and even giving up her job as a career judge assistant in the California court for him, she burst into tears of bitterness and remorse.

How much she loved her biological father, at that moment, how much she hated Teng Zhongqian.

But just now in the living room of the Fu family, when she saw Teng Zhongqian confessing her identity in front of his wife and daughter, and even Teng Zhongqian was indifferent to Gu Yi's collapse, she suddenly felt a little relieved in her heart.

The original hatred for Teng Zhongqian in his heart suddenly collapsed.

She was willing to give Teng Zhongqian a chance to explain, and she was confident that she could distinguish between what Teng Zhongqian said was true and what was false.

"Eun?" Teng Zhongqian called softly, and looked at her with a slightly sideways face, "Still don't you want to talk to your father?" ”

Tang Xien came back to his senses and raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were thoughtful, exactly the same as Teng Zhongqian's eyes when he looked at people, as if he wanted to see the other party's heart at a glance.

"Don't you care at all about the woman you abandoned and gave birth to a daughter for you?" She asked.

Teng Zhongqian was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he lowered his head a little embarrassedly: "It's not that I don't care, but my current situation, if you put such care on your lips and make a big show to meet my concern, it will be bad for your mother." ”

"Is it bad for my mom, or is it bad for yourself?"

"Eun!" Teng Zhongqian was so frightened by her harsh but unreasonable words that he lost his temper, and wanted to explain to her that the incident between him and Li Miaolian happened before marriage, neither cheating in marriage nor anything else, at most, there was a relationship before marriage, even if it is exposed now, public opinion may not be goodwill, but in the end it will not threaten his work and family.

But Tang Xien was angry now, he pondered for a while, swallowed these words, and said instead: "Your mother has her own family, and I meet or associate with her now, in case her husband and children know, I am afraid that it will be your mother who will be difficult." ”
