"Okay, Mom." Shao Yang smiled and nodded in agreement, stepped on the accelerator, increased the speed of the car again, and after determining the direction, he drove towards Sophia International Hotel.

In the Yaqin Community, a residential area in Santa Fe City, an extremely suppressed reproach suddenly came from a kitchen on the third floor of the second unit.

"What, didn't I warn you not to provoke the people of the Nalan family again? Yating, you've disappointed your mother so much! After listening to Tang Hao's detailed words, Ruan Chunling finally couldn't suppress the anger in her heart anymore, Huo Ran stood up and looked down at her daughter, her eyes full of blame and complaints.

Looking up at the corner of her eye, she glanced at her mother, and when she saw the haze on the latter's face, Tang Yating originally hoped that the former would have grievances for herself, but they were instantly dissipated, replaced by embarrassment and faint grievances: "Mom, you misunderstood me, and then he always wanted to provoke me, and I didn't want to pay attention to his ...... at all."

"Nonsense! If you don't provoke him, why does she want to come to you for trouble? Tang Yating wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Ruan Chunling's angry rebuke like a storm again.

"I don't know, that's his reason!" Tang Yating saw that her mother didn't listen to the explanation, so she also felt uncomfortable in her heart, and began to look at Ruan Chunling with stubborn eyes.

"How dare you argue with me? You-" Seeing that Tang Yating still didn't listen to her teachings, Ruan Chunling's suppressed anger, and her fear of being discovered because she had concealed the truth for twenty years, completely exploded in an instant, and directly ordered Tang Hao on the side, "Old Tang, go and get me the feather duster in the living room, see if I don't fight today until you admit your mistake!" ”

"Chunling, I don't think it's necessary to do this, right? The child is also so old, just scold and educate with her mouth, and she will know to repent. Tang Hao tried his best to laugh and persuade his angry wife, and at the same time secretly squeezed his eyes at Tang Yating, who was still sitting in the chair, and whispered, "Hurry up and admit your mistake, and say that you will never provoke others in the future, say?" ”

"No, I'm not wrong!" Tang Yating's face was resolute, and the stubbornness inherited from Ruan Chunling in her bones was sweating profusely when she looked at Tang Hao at this moment.

"Alas, you......" Tang Hao sighed softly, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Why are you still stunned, go! Do you see that she has a bit of an attitude of admitting mistakes? Ruan Chunling urged Tang Hao, who was standing beside her.

Tang Hao was stunned for a moment, his eyes were fixed on Tang Yating, hoping that she could temporarily soften in front of his mother, but in the end, he could only pull the corners of his mouth helplessly, turn around and slowly paced towards the hall outside the kitchen. This daughter of mine has a stubborn temper with her wife at all......

While the atmosphere of Tang Yating's house was depressed and tense, at this moment, in the bright and spacious elegant dining room of the Liujia Villa in the coastal modern city, Liu Cen, Jiang Hongxia and Liu Qingyi of the Liu family were sitting around a corner of a long French-style white dining table, burying their heads in their own dinner. The middle-aged woman standing next to the three of them was the Liu family's employee, Yangmei.

"Aunt May." In this splendid restaurant, the quiet atmosphere where only the occasional slight sound of knives and forks and plates colliding could be heard lasted for an unknown amount of time, and was finally broken by Liu Qingyi's sudden voice.

"Well, what's wrong, Miss?" Yangmei's somewhat tired and slightly ungodly eyes suddenly shook, and then looked at Liu Qingyi, who was still quietly eating dinner on the plate.

"You've been busy all day, so you don't have to stand here all the time waiting for us to finish eating. Today, you can go home and rest, and I'll do the rest of the housework. ”

Although Liu Qingyi did not turn her head to Yangmei, causing the latter to not be able to see the look on her face at the moment, Yangmei still heard a slight hint of sadness and determination from her tone.

"This, I ......" Yang Mei is actually busy for a day and said that she is not tired, she actually doesn't want to finish work early and go home to stay with her husband and children, but after all, the family still needs to work to earn money, so even if it is a little hard, she can only silently insist and support herself to continue to do all the work that a domestic maid should do.

Yang Mei set her eyes on Liu Cen, because he was the head of the family, and if the latter did not agree, then she would definitely not leave, although she knew in her heart that the original intention of the young lady was actually just to support herself...... So, is that all, Yang Mei doesn't think about it anymore when she thinks of this, because she understands things that are clear in her heart, why do you need to say it to herself?

Liu Cen's gaze swept over the bayberry, and then condensed on his daughter, but the latter seemed to have no change and was still eating dinner. Liu Cen hesitated for a moment, then looked at Yang Mei and nodded in a normal tone: "Just according to what Qingyi said, you go back first, and we'll take care of the rest ourselves." ”

Hearing Liu Cen's words, Yang Mei felt a little happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, but after bending down lightly at Liu Qingyi and Liu Cen, she walked out of the elegant dining room while taking off the white apron on her body.

Watching Yang Mei walk out of the restaurant, until her footsteps disappeared into her ears, Liu Cen Fang smiled slightly and threw a somewhat helpless look at her daughter, and then went straight to the point: "Originally, Hongxia and I thought you wouldn't go home tonight." But judging by the way you deliberately split Aunt Mei, you should have something to tell us, right? ”

Seeing that his father guessed what he was thinking so easily, Liu Qingyi's face did not change much, but after taking a deep breath, he lightly put the knife and fork in his hand on the edge of the plate, then raised his head and raised a touching arc on his face, and said with a light smile: "Dad, you can always guess what is in my heart." But this is my home for 18 years, so can't I come back if I'm fine? ”

"That's not what Dad meant, I mean, didn't you say you didn't want to stay at home that day?" Liu Cen looked at the smile on the corner of his daughter's mouth, and was stunned at first, but then seemed to understand something, Huo Ran turned his gaze to Jiang Hongxia on the side, and his face also had a hint of surprise.

"Did I say that, I don't remember."

Liu Qingyi smiled, then turned her head slightly to look at Jiang Hongxia, raised her eyebrows slightly, and explained in a flat tone after thinking about it slightly: "When you called me last night, I was in a bad mood, so I hung up directly." ”

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, I don't mind." Jiang Hongxia saw that Liu Qingyi, who had never cared about what she thought of her, would take the initiative to explain to herself today, and a touch of relief swelled up in her heart, although the latter's tone still kept a distance from herself, but after all, she was very relieved to be able to ease even a little.

And listening to the friendly conversation between the two of them, which was not very accustomed, Liu Cen on the side was a little distracted, and recalled his wife's explanation last night because of Qingyi's hanging up of the phone, and he was a little dumbfounded in his heart. He understands that his wife and daughter are soft-hearted people, so he firmly believes that sooner or later, this family, which was crippled by the death of his original wife and the death of his newborn son, will return to the warm and harmonious family of three.

"If you don't mind." Liu Qingyi muttered with a faint smile, she had already thought about what she wanted to say to Jiang Hongxia on the way home, but she couldn't say anything when she saw the latter at the moment, so she could only choose to continue to eat dinner with an embarrassed look on her face.

"By the way, Qingyi, Dad has something to tell you." Liu Cen looked at the embarrassing atmosphere between the two of them that they were not used to because of the sudden contact, smiled a little helplessly, and then suddenly remembered something, picked up the knife and fork on the table again, and looked at Liu Qingyi while cutting the delicacies on the plate.

"Well, what's wrong Dad? You don't want to ask me how I did in today's exam, do you, I'll ......" Liu Qingyi raised her eyebrows slightly, and suddenly felt that something was not quite right in her heart.

"It's not." Liu Cen shook his head with a smile, interrupting his daughter's hesitant words here, "That's the case, tomorrow Dad's high school classmates invite our family to their house for dinner, as if the classmates haven't seen each other for a long time and get together to chat." ”

"Dad, if you have dinner with your old classmates, you can just go alone, why do you want to take me with you? Besides, I have to start preparing for the internship registration of practical activities tomorrow, where can I have time to accompany you to the same school? After thinking for a while, Liu Qingyi first asked curiously, and then remembered that there was a test tomorrow, so he was going to refuse directly without being tactful.

Seeing that his daughter didn't think much about it and pushed her mouth, Liu Cen also looked a little unnatural on her face, and turned her eyes to Jiang Hongxia on the side, and in the eyes of the latter, she saw the words contained in her helpless gaze, which meant to say to herself, you see that your father is unwilling to go, let alone me.

Liu Cen glared back at his wife angrily, and then retracted his gaze, and his tone actually carried a hint of request: "Qingyi, you can go, after all, they invited our family, if I go alone at that time, then wouldn't your father and I be too faceless?" ”

"You shouldn't have agreed to anyone at the time, and you didn't ask for my opinion beforehand. Anyway, I'm not available, how to solve it, you can figure it out yourself, it has nothing to do with me. Liu Qingyi frowned slightly, and looked at him with a look full of complaints about his father, but when he said the last sentence, the corners of his mouth obviously curled up slightly.

"Qingyi, you just listen to your father, just let her give you a grace for the exam." Jiang Hongxia saw that Liu Cen really couldn't persuade her, so she interjected and continued to persuade recklessly, but she didn't expect that the girl's expression in front of her suddenly changed.
