Chapter 14 The Family Feast

She walked alone and bored, with willows by the lake and a few koi playing in the lake. She looked at it for a while, it was a little hot, and she wanted to go back and rest. With the memory of coming, I walked back step by step, but I still got lost, and I still didn't know which direction to go when I reached the fork in the road.

The scorching sun, her whole body was oily, and she regretted it at this time, why did she come out and suffer this crime.

She was dejected, deflated. There is still a gap between the ideal and the reality. Sticky and uncomfortable, she couldn't help but get irritable again, and she didn't pay attention to the road, kicking the stones on the side of the road to vent her frustration.

She didn't expect Yuan Qian to be so talkative, so she actually agreed to her request. I thought it would take a lot of effort, but I didn't want it to be so easy. Isn't this a relief for him, after all, he doesn't have to have so many burdens.

Suddenly, there was a "Ouch." Pulling her back to reality, she just thought about her mind and didn't pay attention to the road under her feet, until she bumped into someone.

In front of her was a girl with neat short ear-length hair, holding a parasol in her hand, and the books in her arms were scattered all over the ground. Tao Tao was busy looking down to help her pick up the books on the ground, and at the same time was busy apologizing.

"I'm sorry....."

The girl was very polite, "It's okay, it's also to blame me for not looking at the road well." If I could have been more careful, we wouldn't have bumped. ”

Her words were full of hatred, and Tao Tao felt more and more embarrassed. "I've just arrived, I'm lost, I'm irritable, so ......"

The girl burst out laughing, "No wonder, do you know where to live?" I'll send you. ”

"This ......" Tao Tao hesitated, but he was indeed unfamiliar with the road, and he was no longer polite.

The girl gave Tao Tao half of her umbrella, and the two of them were under the same umbrella, and they talked more. The girl asked Tao Tao which dormitory he lived in and which major he was in. Tao Tao answered them one by one. It turned out that they were in different classes in the same department, and the girl was one year higher than Tao Tao's senior sister and sister.

Tao Tao suddenly felt cordial, and the girl told Tao Tao a lot of new things about the school, Tao Tao felt fresh, and listened very seriously. In the end, the girl personally sent Tao Tao back to the dormitory, and the two of them left each other's names when they left.

Pei Han ...... My family calls me Tao Tao. ”

"Meng Ruihua, the family hopes to be a son, so he took such an atmospheric name."

Tao Tao smiled, this girl is quite interesting......

And every day after that, Tao Tao was with this girl named Meng Ruihua, except for sleeping and going to class, the two were inseparable at other times.

Xu is because Tao Tao used to live in that black land, so he is very kind. The two of them are together, and Meng Ruihua often tells her some things about his hometown. came and went, and the relationship between the two people became stronger and stronger.

Meng Ruihua is a child from an ordinary family in Fengtian, Northeast China, his father is a declining teacher, and he attaches great importance to education, even if Meng Ruihua is a girl, he does his best. It is said that she was able to come to Shanghai to study because the family of the in-law who married when she was a child quit the marriage and lost a lot of money.

When she and Tao Tao talked about this, they looked relieved, and Tao Tao was very disdainful of the family who gave up on her. But when she thought of Pei Yuanqian and Chen Yunhe, she didn't know whether it was right or wrong. If two people without any emotional foundation are together, it must be a kind of suffering. But obviously Meng Ruihua's situation is different, it is the other party who dislikes her family background. Such a person is indeed not a good match, but fortunately she can get out as soon as possible.

"That person will regret it one day." Tao Tao patted Meng Hua on the shoulder.

The two of them sat under the willows by the lake, Meng Ruihua looked at the sunset in the distance and sighed: "It's not important anymore." ”

"Well...... People always have to look forward, and maybe they will meet someone better than him in the future. ”

Ruihua pinched Tao Tao's face, "I am not ashamed ......"

Tao Tao saw that she was in a good mood, even if she was pinched in the face, she didn't feel pain. In the twilight of the setting sun, two girls are fighting together......

On the day of the weekend, Tao Tao promised Yuanqian to go back, so after saying hello to Ruihua after school, she went to the school gate to wait for the Pei family's car to pick her up.

As soon as she got out of the school gate, a black car stopped in front of her, and the person who got out of the car was Zhao Kangping. She didn't expect him to come, and it seemed like she had come to her on purpose.

Tao Tao looked at him in surprise, "Zhao ...... Mr. Zhao, why are you here? ”

Zhao Kangping smiled, "Don't be so surprised, I just tried my luck, I didn't expect God to let my thoughts come true effortlessly." ”

"Huh?"

Zhao Kangping saw that she was still stunned, and couldn't help but approach her, "Get in the car, just kidding, I'm here to pick you up...... Yunhe was coming, and I came over when I was free. ”

I thought that Pei Yuanqian would come in person, but I didn't want to be an outsider. Tao Tao couldn't help but be disappointed. But after all, people come with good intentions, even if they are lost, they still have to hide.

"Then I'm bothering you."

"Don't be so polite, and don't scream at Mr. and Mr., it's too awkward. Just call me Kangping like Yunhe. ”

"How can that work?" Tao Tao refused.

"Then call me brother, and my sisters are called Brother Ping."

Tao Tao felt too intimate and did not agree.

"It's really not good, just Brother Kangping."

This time Tao Tao didn't refuse, "Okay, Brother Kang Ping." Zhao Kangping smiled indulgently. This call of Brother Kang Ping made his heart flutter.

"I wanted to invite you to dinner, but Yunhe explained that he would send you back earlier, so let's make an appointment next time."

Tao Tao nodded...... Zhao Kangping's son of a warlord, but he does not have that anger and ruthlessness in him, and he is also extremely thoughtful. So she wasn't disgusted.

When the car drove into Siming Villa, Yuan Qian and Yunhe's private residence, Yunhe had already come out to greet Tao Tao. As soon as Tao Tao got out of the car, she took her into her arms and hugged her.

For her enthusiasm, Tao Tao is no longer surprised. Although I still don't fit in, I don't resist anymore.

"Come, come in...... Your second brother called me to pick you up, and it happened that Kang Ping was there, so he took the initiative to take this responsibility. ”

"Has the second brother been busy lately?" Tao Tao didn't intend to inquire about Yuan Qian's whereabouts, but just asked casually.

"He went to the docks to pick up his father."

"Father is here?" Tao Tao couldn't help but get excited.

"Well, I'll come over later, and I made an appointment with my father for dinner."

"Oh, how do you feel like you haven't seen him in a long time?"

"It's homesick." Zhao Kangping, who came in on the back foot, listened to the conversation between the two sisters-in-law.

Yunhe sighed when he heard Zhao Kangping's words, and then pulled Tao Tao to sit beside him, "How is it, are you still used to living in school?" ”

"It's good, I met new classmates and made new friends."

Yunhe couldn't help but feel relieved when she saw that she seemed to have endless words to say about school.

"If anyone bullies you, tell me." Zhao Kangping is serious.

Yunhe looked at Tao Tao and then at Zhao Kangping, stood up and left the living room under the pretext of going to the kitchen to see what kind of dishes were prepared tonight, leaving the two behind.

"How so? I'm not a kid anymore, no one dares to bully me. Tao Tao replied more seriously, as if if she didn't say so, Zhao Kangping would really go to the school to find someone.

Just like when she was a child, she went to school and was bullied by other children, and she didn't dare to say it when she returned home. Later, the second brother personally supported her, and no one dared to bully her anymore. This also breeds the seeds of her arrogance and unreasonableness. Anyway, she remembered what he said, no matter what happened, she had Pei Yuanqian behind her and the Pei family. Right and wrong, someone bears the ......

Now that she's older, she can't rely on him anymore because he has someone to protect. I can't stand behind her all the time.

After a while, news came from the concierge that Pei Zhuoyun and Pei Yuanqian were back, and at the same time, the Chen family's car also arrived. Tao Tao followed Yunhe and went out to greet people.

Yuan Qian and Chen Zhihe walked last, he raised his head and saw Tao Tao standing with Zhao Kangping from a distance, and couldn't help frowning. At this time, she was looking down and talking to Mrs. Chen, with a smile on her face, and she didn't know what Mrs. Chen was joking, her cheeks were dyed red, the breeze blew on her face, and she quietly pinned the broken hair in her ears behind her ears. He knew it was something she would do when she was nervous.

When Tao Tao saw Pei's father, he couldn't hide the joy in his heart, but because so many people were present, he couldn't show too much exaggeration, so he could only call his father with a smile.

Pei Fu also smiled and nodded, on the way here, Yuan Qian had already reported Tao Tao's situation to him. I didn't expect this girl to live in school, and listening to Yuan Qian's meaning, it seems that she is not bad at school. I actually made new friends, so good.

This kid is indeed much more sensible, in other words, he must have rushed over regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, holding his arm to ask for a gift, but now he is standing quietly by Yunhe's side, and he is really a big girl.

He also saw Zhao Kangping standing aside, Chen Zhihe and Zhao Kangping have always been good friends, and because of the relationship between the two people, the Chen family and the Zhao family also have frequent contacts. Half of the reason why he came to Shanghai this time was because he was invited by Zhao Kangping's father.

It's just that this time it's a family banquet, and I was really surprised to meet him here, but then I heard that he took Tao Tao back, so I took it for granted.

Pei Zhuoyun and Chen Gongqing exchanged a few words, and everyone sat down in order. This time, Tao Tao sat next to Yunhe's subordinates, and opposite her was Zhao Kangping.

During the dinner, Pei Zhuoyun and Chen Gongqing talked about sending representatives to the United States to hold a Pacific business conference. On the question of the candidate, the two expressed different opinions.

Tao Tao was not interested, and only cared about eating with his head down......
