Tang Xien smiled, didn't argue with him, only said lightly: "There are always some people who need to stand up and do what they can for the country's trade and rule interests, and it just so happens that I am one of them." ”

In the face of the other party's tricky and superficial questions, her answer just pointed out her indifference, did not embarrass the other party, and stabilized the kindness she wanted to release to the other party.

Teng Zhongqian looked at his daughter, his eyes full of appreciation.

The hot pot was steaming non-stop, and lunch continued......

Although the round table was almost full of people, they were very polite to each other, except for Tang Xien and the cousin who was a lawyer, who occasionally chatted about things in the circle, and the two old men who greeted their two grandsons for dinner, most of the other times there was no sound.

Teng Zhongqian already has a deep grudge against Li Miaolian's mother's family, and being able to help Li Hongda's case and accompany him today is already considered benevolent and righteous, so he was speechless throughout the whole process, Li Miaolian couldn't say anything about him, and Tang Xien respected his reaction even more.

After the meal, the group moved to the living room to make tea.

Tang Xien saw that the cousin, who was a lawyer, went to the balcony to smoke, and hurriedly followed.

Teng Zhongqian thought that she was going to talk to the other party about the legal circle, so he let her go.

Tang Xien pulled up the sliding door, and the lawyer's cousin, who was leaning against the railing, looked back at her and smiled.

She walked over, stood not near or far, exchanged a few words of greeting, and suddenly asked, "Since my cousin studied law at B University, why didn't he stay in City B to develop?" ”

The other party didn't answer at first, turned around with a cigarette in his mouth, looked at Teng Zhongqian sitting in it through the white mist in front of him, and the smile on his face was gone.

Tang Xien was not in a hurry to change the topic, so he waited patiently.

After a while, the other party said heavily: "My mother told me since I was a child that my aunt offended the big people in City B, and those people said that they would kill our family. ”

Tang Xien was shocked, but in this very short period of time, he sorted out the reason why Li Miaolian was driven away in the first place.

The big man in City B is naturally the Gu family.

More than 30 years ago, after the relationship between Teng Zhongqian and Li Miaolian was exposed, the Gu family should have found someone to go to the countryside and threatened and intimidated the Li family, including Li Miaolian's two sisters-in-law, so in order to protect their husbands and sons, they jointly resisted and put pressure on their in-laws. This also confirms what Li Miaolian said that when her parents drove her away, they said that for the sake of the Li family and her two brothers, they could only drive her away.

Sorting out all this, Tang Xien was so angry that he couldn't stand on his feet, his body trembled from top to bottom like chaff, his face turned red, his eyes were red and bloody, and he stared at Teng Zhongqian, who was sitting in the living room drinking tea.

The lawyer's cousin sensed that she was not in the right state, extinguished the cigarette butt, and asked, "Cousin, what's wrong with you?" Are you alright? ”

Tang Xien came back to his senses, gritted his teeth and shook his head.

She turned to look at the vast expanse of the world in the distance, forcing herself to calm down.

……

The group sat for a while, not talking speculatively for more than half a sentence, no one wanted to sit more, and soon after Tang Xien entered from the balcony, Teng Zhongqian beckoned to leave.

Tang Xien didn't say much, politely said goodbye to a pair of old people, uncles and aunts, and prepared to go back to City B.

The Li family sent them all the way downstairs, and Tang Xien remembered that there were still a lot of gifts in the trunk, so he opened it and asked Li Hongda and his wife to carry it together.

The two cousins came empty-handed, each got into the car, and the two old men wept all the way, and followed the car to disappear, and then walked back in despair.

Tang Xien looked at all this coldly, turned around and entered the main car.

Li Miaolian took the initiative to say goodbye to her parents, held her parents' hands and cried for a while, took out two big red envelopes from her handbag and stuffed them to the old man.

Teng Zhongqian, who was waiting in the car, withdrew his cold gaze.

A father and daughter in the car were silent.

Tang Xien looked at him from the rearview mirror, and suddenly asked, "The reason why my mother was driven away back then was because the Gu family threatened her family, right?" ”

Xu didn't expect her to be so sudden, when Teng Zhongqian raised his eyes, there was surprise in his eyes, and the eyes of the two met in the rearview mirror.

He frowned slightly, and instead of answering, he asked, "Who told you that?" ”

Tang Xien understood, retracted his gaze, and looked coldly at the road ahead: "No one needs to tell me, I will know sooner or later." ”

The look on her face was subtle.

Teng Zhongqian found that for the first time, he couldn't figure out what his daughter was thinking. After a while, he softened his attitude and persuaded in a low voice: "En, Gu Yi has already left." Before she died, I also punished her, the previous things, forget it, right? ”

At this moment, Tang Xien was extremely calm.

She glanced in the rearview mirror again, and saw that Li Miaolian had no plans to get into the car, and said, "What about Gu Yi's father?" If I'm not mistaken, he was in charge of everything back then, right? Shouldn't he give me and my mother an explanation if he's still alive? ”

"Eun!" Teng Zhongqian lowered his voice and tried his best to persuade, "Gu Yi's death is the biggest punishment for him. Now that you and your mother are all right, and our family of three can be reunited, that's enough! Don't let another incident ruin the current happiness! ”

Tang Xien looked at him with red eyes and glared at him.

He suddenly lowered his shoulders, lowered his head and shook it, and said with a smile: "You are old as a father, and the older you get, the younger you get." At the beginning, I was also determined to break the net with Gu Jiayu, but I still have greed in my heart, and I dream of one day being able to reunite with your mother and daughter......"

The conversation stopped abruptly.

Li Miaolian got in the car.

Tang Xien retracted his gaze, took out a tissue to wipe the corners of his eyes, and only started the car after his vision was clear.

Li Miaolian's own emotions were chaotic enough, and she didn't notice anything strange about her husband and daughter.

……

When Tang Xien returned to Fengshan's home, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening.

Fu Shiyu bathed the child by himself, put the child to sleep, and was cooking noodles in the kitchen at this time.

When she got off the highway an hour ago, she sent him a message saying that she was home at about half past nine. He counted the time to come down and cook noodles for her.

She gently pushed the door in, and her whole body and mind warmed.

On the first floor, only the warm yellow light strip is on, and a slightly brighter kitchen light is on the countertop. The heating was turned on in the house, Fu Shiyu was wearing a white T-shirt and gray cotton trousers, and his hair looked clean and black because it was slightly damp. The pot in front of him was pouring white smoke, and the noodles should have been boiling.

The smell of fireworks in this room, the smell of home, the back of his lover, such a dull but happy time, Tang Xien suddenly understood why Teng Zhongqian chose to settle things.

Compared with the brave struggle, this comfort highlights its preciousness.

Teng Zhongqian is old and afraid of fighting......

But she is still young, she must escape back to justice for herself and Li Miaolian, and pay tribute to the suffering of their mother and daughter in the past 20 years!

She understands that if this matter is not resolved, she will look down on herself for the rest of her life!
