Chapter Forty-Eight: Small Goals

The café suddenly became silent, and only a piano player playing the piano at the front desk played some melancholy tunes, but even the awesome Chopin could not play my sorrow at this moment.

In the middle of the ring, I raised my head and looked at him and said, "To be honest, the conditions you put forward are really tempting, whether it is to go back to Taiwan with you or 100 million." ”

"I know you're going to say next, but?" I can see that Mr. Tan is still a little cold and humorous.

"That's right." I looked at him and said, "Xiao Qi is not an item, not a bargaining chip used to trade between you and me." ”

"I agree with what you say, but I don't have anything around me now except money? I can't think of any way to make it up to you. "That's a bit of a whack, what does it mean to have nothing but money.

"I only need Xiao Qi, and nothing else is negotiable." When I said this, I breathed a sigh of relief, and I was still able to achieve the temptation of a small goal, and this state of mind was almost reaching the level of a saint.

"Then have you ever thought about it, is it really good for Xiao Qi to follow you?" Mr. Tan said lightly: "Xiao Qi is still young now, but when he is a little older, have you ever thought about other people's gossip?" Maybe don't you think there's anything? But rumors are such a thing, and only after experiencing them can you know how terrible they are. ”

"In other words? What can you give Xiao Qi? I'm very polite, you're just a gangster, maybe you won't even be able to make up for Xiaoqi's school tuition in the future, and she will have to step out of society in the future, with an unclean brother like you, will it hinder her future? ”

My heart sank again, although these words are ugly, but they are indeed the truth, I am just a little gangster, what can I do to guarantee Xiao Qi's future.

"I know it might be hard for you to accept that, but it's true, isn't it? You keep saying that it is for Xiao Qi, but is Xiao Qi your private belongings? No matter what I say, I am Xiao Qi's father, the guardian of the law, the reason why I am willing to talk to you is that I know your feelings for Xiao Qi, and I don't want to hurt the people close to Xiao Qi. Mr. Tan said indifferently.

I sighed, took out a cigarette and just lit it, the annoying waiter next to me frowned and reminded me that this was a public place, Mr. Tan quickly took out a stack of money and put it in her hand, so that the waiter did not force me to chatter.

With a puff of smoke, I looked at Mr. Tan and smiled, "It's me who is too selfish, but I want to know what happened to Xiao Qi in the first place." ”

"It's okay?" Mr. Tan then recounted lightly: "Ten years ago, the scale of my business at that time had already been formed, and I was self-made, so I had a lot of competitors. ”

"I remember there was a Hong Kong man named Zhou Hongfa, when I was working on a project with him, and he kidnapped my wife and daughter by any means to get the project."

"My wife died in that business struggle, and then I used all my connections to bring down Zhou Hongfa." Mr. Tan took out a cigar and lit it, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "You may not know that in our business, there will never be a shortage of opponents." ”

"Some opponents are moral, while others are unscrupulous. When Xiao Qi was four and a half years old, I ushered in the biggest opponent in my life, he was supported by the largest gang in Taiwan, Xiao Qi would encounter all kinds of dangers every day, and the bodyguards I used to protect Xiao Qi were replaced by more than a dozen batches. ”

"At that time, everyone persuaded me to give up Taiwan's industry, but I was unwilling, my favorite wife died, why should I let those opponents succeed." When he said this, a trace of fierceness flashed in Mr. Tan's eyes: "In order to solve my worries, I sent Xiao Qi to her aunt's house in the mainland for foster care." ”

"But there was an accident, and the old butler I sent who had been with me for more than ten years died, and Xiao Qi disappeared from then on. At first, I suspected that Xiao Qi was kidnapped by my rivals, but under my side knock I found that no, in those years I frantically sent people to Yicheng to find Xiao Qi, and slowly I became more and more bottomless in my heart, this time I came to Yicheng to have a dream. ”

"I dreamed of Xiao Qi's mother, and her mother asked me why I didn't go looking for the child yet? I was very sad after waking up from the dream, I decided to come to look for Xiao Qi in person, my health is not good, so I have to go to the hospital to recuperate. Mr. Tan suddenly laughed heartily when he said this.

"I really didn't expect that my dreaming daughter would meet me on the first day I stepped into Yicheng, and sure enough, there was a hand in the dark that arranged everything."

"At first, I wasn't sure, but Xiao Qi is really too similar to my wife, I began to slowly investigate Xiao Qi's life experience, I know that Xiao Qi was picked up by you when he was very young, whether it is the time difference or the age, it is too coincidental, I will arrange someone to protect Xiao Qi first, and then try to contact Xiao Qi slowly."

"At first, I was reluctant to compare with Xiao Qiduo's DNA, I had already thought that I would treat Xiao Qi as my daughter no matter what, and I also need to think about the heir now, but I couldn't help but be sure after all."

"I finally confirmed that Xiao Qi is my own daughter, I am very happy, and I know that Xiao Qi is suffering from a disease unique to our family, I called Petersson, otherwise with Petersson's identity, he would not come to a second-rate city like Yicheng."

………

………

Mr. Tan said a lot in one breath, I have a general understanding of what happened after that, I was busy for a long time, it turned out that if I didn't do anything, Peterson would go to heal Xiao Qi, and I knew that I wouldn't risk Su Bai being held hostage by Petersson.

"That's about how it is." Mr. Tan looked at me with a sigh and said, "Child, I ask you to believe me, I have owed Xiao Qi a lot in my life, and I just want to take care of Xiao Qi twice as much in my next days, please believe me." ”

"Uncle." I was also very touched when I heard so much, and calling him uncle was not to slap him, but to his heart for Xiao Qi.

"Xiao Qi follow you! Only you can give her a better life, you're right, I shouldn't be so selfish. "When I said this, my heart felt like a needle had been pricked.

"Then will you go back to Taiwan with me?" Mr. Tan looked at me.

"Nope." I shook my head and replied, "I grew up in Yicheng, and I have my friends here, and I don't want to leave my hometown." ”

"Then I'll give you 100 million right away." Mr. Tan continued.

I waved my hands and said a little tiredly: "No need, Xiao Qi is not an item, what have I taken her with me for so many years?" If you really feel sorry for me, please don't forget what you said to me today, or I won't make you happy if I cross the ocean. ”

"I know that." Mr. Tan looked at me lightly, and he said to me with some approval: "Young man, don't throw away these things on you in the future, I am very optimistic about you, if you figure it out one day, go to Taiwan to find me, I welcome you at any time." Xiao Qi's side, I still trouble you to persuade her. ”

"I will." I lifted my eyelids weakly.

Mr. Tan said a few more words to me, and I didn't pay attention to what he said, but when Mr. Tan got up and left, I covered my chest with a pale face.

Why? Why pretend, that's a small target.
