"Uncle Qiao, Qiao Siyan's lawyer, you hired him?" Bai Tongxi asked.

"Ah, no!" Qiao Rusheng immediately denied it: "The lawyer was hired by Ran'er, and I didn't ask him to say that, don't misunderstand!" ”

His clumsy appearance of being anxious to get rid of suspicion was really a bit funny, and Bai Tongxi couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Seeing this, Qiao Rusheng was stunned, for fear that this was his daughter's ridicule or sneering at him, so he became more cramped and cautious: "Tong Tong, what's wrong?" ”

Bai Tong saw that he seemed to have misunderstood, so he returned to his normal state and said, "It's okay, I believe what you said, is there anything else Uncle Qiao?" ”

After Qiao Rusheng breathed a sigh of relief, he made a surprising request: "Can I treat you to a meal?" ”

"Now?" Bai Tongxi looked at him in surprise.

"Yes!" Qiao Rusheng nodded hurriedly.

Bai Jianming, who was on the side, suddenly opened his mouth unhappily: "Mr. Qiao, don't you go too far, don't you know that Tong Tong has nothing to do with you now?" Also, your son has just been sentenced, why don't you care about him, but come to pester my daughter? "I know that those two appraisal reports must have been forged by your United Hospital." Qiao Rusheng retorted gently but firmly: "Brother Bai, you and I are both fathers, I believe that you must understand my current feelings, I have lost a son, please don't let me lose another daughter, okay."

？ ”

These words touched Bai Jianming's memories of Bai Su, and his whole person was dull, and he forgot to reply for a while.

During this period, Bai Tongxi silently exchanged glances with Meng Peiyuan, and seeing that he had no opinion, he said to Qiao Rusheng: "Okay, Uncle Qiao, where are you going to eat?" I'll go with you. ”

Qiao Rusheng hurriedly took out his mobile phone: "I'll arrange it." ”

When he called to reserve a seat, An Ran was leading Qiaoqiao back.

Because she was in a bad mood, she didn't bother to tell Qiao Rusheng, who was calling with her back to her, that she was back, until she heard what Qiao Rusheng explained on the phone, and her expression suddenly changed.

As soon as Qiao Rusheng hung up the phone, she immediately asked, "Rusheng, I just heard that you reserved a seat for two people with a Western restaurant, who did you make an appointment?" ”

Qiao Rusheng didn't expect An Ran to come back so soon, and glanced at Bai Tongxi in a hurry: "I ......"

Bai Tongxi suddenly said: "It's me who made an appointment with Uncle Qiao and want to talk to him about something, I hope you won't mind." ”

Hearing this, Qiao Rusheng's eyes widened slightly in surprise, he didn't dare to think that Bai Tongxi would help him cover up.

At this time, An Ran said: "Miss Bai, such a big thing has just happened in our family, I don't know what else you have to say to my husband?" If you don't mind, why don't you let me listen to it? ”

"I think this is a private matter between me and Uncle Joe, so I don't have to be involved in you."

Bai Tongxi's face was polite and detached, since An Ran could hire a lawyer like that for Qiao Siyan, then she would have nothing to say to her, I believe An Ran felt the same way.

was embarrassed by Bai Tongxi on the spot, coupled with Qiao Siyan's matter, An Ran is no matter how high his quality is, he can't hold it!

She simply went to Qiao Rusheng to ask for an explanation: "Rusheng, are you going back with me, or are you going to have dinner with Miss Bai?" ”

"Ran'er, it's actually the child I dated." Qiao Rusheng looked at her and said honestly.

After an awkward silence

“…… Well, that's good! Then you father and daughter should celebrate! An Ran used the last of his strength to finish speaking, and then led Qiao Qiao and left.

Shufen, who was following her, hurriedly chased after her.

After Wen Qi nodded at Bai Tongxi, he also withdrew first.

After taking a deep breath, Qiao Rusheng pretended to be relaxed and said the name of the reserved Western restaurant to Bai Tongxi.

Bai Tongxi then turned around and said to his family, and after getting their reluctant consent, he followed Qiao Rusheng away.

Meng Tianzhen asked puzzledly: "Second brother, why do you want to agree with your sister-in-law to go with him?" Shouldn't we take this opportunity to let my sister-in-law completely cut off relations with him? ”

"Since Qiao Rusheng didn't come to stir up this troubled water, we can't go against him everywhere, what do you say, Dad?" Meng Peiyuan said, looking at Bai Jianming.

"Ahem! Your sister is asking you, what are you asking me for? Go home, go home! After Bai Jianming finished speaking a little fiercely, he left with his hands behind his back.

He wouldn't say that he was touched by what Qiao Rusheng just said, so he agreed to let his daughter go to dinner with him, but just this once, there is no next time!

In the typical Italian style of the restaurant, the elegant piano sound is mixed with the sound of customers touching each other's wine glasses, knives and forks, and whispering conversations.

"Tong Tong, thank you just now for helping me out of the siege in front of Ran'er, but don't do this in the future, I don't want you to suffer any grievances."

After thanking the waiter who brought them coffee, Bai Tong asked, "Why did you ask me out at this time?" "I also knew that I would make An Ran angry to death.

Qiao Rusheng smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that if I don't make an appointment today, I won't be able to make an appointment in the future." ”

Bai Tong was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Don't you blame me for the result of Qiao Siyan's trial?" ”

"This kid deserves, if he doesn't treat him, he will never know how thick the sky is." Qiao Rusheng said and sighed: "It's just that time is not forgiving, and when he comes out, Ran Er and I are also seventy or eighty, old." ”

Bai Tongxi's heart was astringent when he heard it: "Don't say that, it'll be fine." ”

Will it be okay?

Qiao Rusheng smiled bitterly again: "After today, Meng Peiyuan will definitely let the media report on Si Yan's imprisonment, so that it is even more impossible for you to recognize me, right?" ”

"In fact, what does it matter if you recognize it or not?"

As soon as Bai Tongxi's words fell, he saw Qiao Rusheng's eyes light up.

"Tongtong, you—do you mean to say...... You already recognize me as a father in your heart?! ”

Even if Bai Tongxi had a trace of pity for him, he couldn't answer him like this, otherwise Bai Jianming wouldn't have to worry about her after he found out?

"Uncle Joe, come, let's have coffee." As she spoke, she held up the mocha in her hand and saluted him.

"Tong Tong." Qiao Rusheng immediately looked at her pitifully, and he was also very scheming.

Bai Tongxi's eyes flickered: "Uncle Qiao, please don't use this trick, you know it doesn't work." ”

Qiao Rusheng asked unrelentingly: "What do you have to do in exchange for your forgiveness for me?" You tell me, I'll do it. ”

"I don't have anything you need to do, the reason why I agreed to go out to dinner with you today is also because you didn't interfere in the lawsuit between me and Qiao Siyan, as for the other ......" Bai Tongxi looked down at the exquisite tablecloth in front of her, but the gaze cast from the opposite side was so bleak that she couldn't ignore it if she wanted to, and finally she said ghostly: "You can take your time." ”
