Chapter IV
"Hey, auntie."
Tang Zheya finally took a long time before relaxing in her room.
"Hi, Ya'er, did you have a smooth journey? Did your dad embarrass you? Tang Keren's rich voice came from the microphone, relaxed but not hiding a faint worry.
Tang Zheya smiled, took the microphone and flipped it on the bed relaxedly, facing up on her back, holding the delicate hair ornament that Tang Jingrong gave her in one hand and looking at it lightly.
"It's okay, I can handle it, Dad already knows that I'm going to take over Haotian's affairs."
A giggling voice came from the microphone, "Yes, he didn't speak in a good tone on the phone, I was thinking of giving you a CALL." ”
The two were not separated by more than two days, and they would talk to each other, as if they were separated by a month or two. The magnetic field of people is really very mysterious, and their aunts and nephews are all not very good-tempered types, but somehow, they get along very well.
"However, Dad's health doesn't seem to be very good."
There was silence on the other end of the phone before he said, "In the early years, I persuaded him that he could enjoy his old age in peace, but let him and I be vindictive and not give in to each other." ”
"Auntie, it's none of your business, I'll persuade him when I come back this time, not to mention 。。。。。"
"What's wrong?"
Tang Zheya blinked vigorously, and replied with a hearty smile, "Dad knows that I will take over Haotian, and I will definitely find a successor again, and I will no longer be persistent, not to mention, Jingrong is getting engaged, and my family can also help." ”
Tang Keren sniffed out something wrong, but intuitively, she only chuckled back, comforted her, told her to come back quickly, and hung up the phone.
Tang Jiaxiu is not a cold-blooded person, not to mention his love and expectation for Tang Zheya, everyone sees it, so-called, how big the expectation is, how deep the loss and sadness are, so that the thing that makes him feel very regretful in his life happened, but if he is as stubborn as he is, how could he make that phone call with his own hands, and even Mrs. Tang and Tang Jingrong are not allowed to contact them in Preston again.
Many years ago, he was sick to shock, when he was dying, he called someone to make a call, but it was only to Tang Keren, so far, this brother and sister can be regarded as a good phone call, just hung up the phone, Tang Keren is already in tears, if Tang Jiaxiu does not die, she still can't tell Tang Zheya, she has received this phone call between life and death.
At that time, Tang Ke knew the reason for Tang Zheya's escape, this child, over the years, has gone from a rich lady who doesn't know anything to now, can take care of Haotian's affairs independently, how can he tell the bitterness clearly.
Tang Zheya withdrew her gaze from the hair ornament and moved it to her hand, on the wrist, although it was slender and slender, it was not the hand of a rich lady, it looked a little rough, like a faint scar mark on a soft heart, every time she thought of the bright red blood coming out of Tang Jingrong's thin and white wrist, she trembled like a demonic disease.
She started as a dishwasher in a restaurant, waitress, greeter, front desk, cleaner... No one knew that Haotian's most diligent and hard-working model employee turned out to be the chairman's niece. She trains herself in this way, or she punishes herself.
Thinking that in this way, I will have the courage and strength to face everything now, perhaps, if it really has some effect, those past pains, although profound, but not so vivid, so warm and fresh as blood bubbling out.
A soft knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.
"Miss, the master invites you to the study, there are guests coming." After Wang Ma got the answer, she pushed the door kindly.
※
"Dad."
"Ya'er, come here, introduce someone to you."
Tang Jiaxiu has recovered, but his face is still pale, which makes Tang Zheya ashamed, and glanced at the young man with glasses who was sitting upright, showing full of svenile words, she pursed her lips and smiled, habitually, stretched out her hand at forty-five degrees, her fingers were slender and slender, and the faint colorless nail polish reflected a silvery white light in the evening light.
"Yaping, this is the little girl Tang Zheya."
Only then did Li Yaping disperse the gaze condensed from Tang Zheya's face and hands, smiled a little panickedly, and immediately stood up straight, reaching out to hold the soft and cold hand.
Just like that summer night, the starlight is high, and the sky is full of cold silence.
This is a woman with a very strong heart, who likes to seal herself, like Chang'e in the Moon Palace, hugging a rabbit for warmth. Even if you look up at it night and night, you only have a cold back.
He has been doing research all year round, so that when he sees a woman like Tang Zheya, he inevitably chews it carefully.
But Wu Ning, this woman, as her name suggests, is clear, faint, even though it is far away, but she does not hate it, are you sure, do you want to hate the clear moon on that cool summer night?
Tang Zheya smiled faintly, let him stare at it, and did not make a sound.
"Ahem."
Li Yaping came back to his senses and smiled apologetically to Tang Jiaxiu and Tang Sensei, but not to be embarrassed, which was an excellent grasp.
"Ya'er, the banquet is about to start, let you come up and meet the most proud disciple in Dad's research room, and let him be your dance partner tonight."
Tang Zheya nodded with a respectful smile and replied, "Dad, I still remember that before I went abroad, Mr. Li had gone home to teach several times instead of me. ”
Li Yaping raised his eyebrows in surprise, the light on the lenses suddenly softened a lot, and echoed, "Teacher, I also remember, Miss Tang's memory is really good, I just entered your door that year, and the research room at that time was still located in your villa in the northern suburbs." ”
"Yes, my tutor happened to be sick at that time, so Mr. Li took over a few times."
Tang Jiaxiu smiled, looking at this pair of young people, the more he looked at it, the more pleasing he felt "Haha, I'm old, I don't remember this, this is very good, come to Ping, wait for the dinner, you take care of it, Ya'er has not returned to China for many years, she may be unfamiliar, she doesn't know any of the newly built world friends over the years." ”
Li Yaping nodded happily, although he had always spent a lot in the research room and did not know much about business matters.
In this conversation, the living room downstairs, the colorful lights in the garden have been lit up, and the noise has gradually entered the ears, and the night has fallen unconsciously, Tang Zheya stared at everything outside, and suddenly, she felt that this day was so long. Or, after so many years of calm, busy and simple work, I have become very unfamiliar and uncomfortable in the face of so many people and things at once.
The constant sound of cars was heard, and the guests had slowly gathered, Tang Zheya got up and said goodbye to his father. Turning to Li Yaping, he said, "Mr. Li, I'll go change my clothes." "Motioned for them to meet here.
"Miss Tang, if you don't mind, you can call me Yaping." This time he took the lead and smiled softly as he approached her, reaching out to shake her.
"Xiaoya." She smiled sweetly and generously reached out again.
