Chapter 37: Bad News

Tan Weicai came to Yiyi's school and saw that the plaque at the gate had been renamed from the former "Wenyuan Girls' Middle School" to "Wenyuan Middle School". He asked himself: How long has it been since I came to Yiyi's school? He doesn't remember it himself. Sometimes Shuying came to the school for parent-teacher conferences, and the only time he came was when the school started. And that time, I also asked the driver to take Shuying and Yiyi to the school gate, and hurriedly went to the business bank to deal with affairs. As a father, he suddenly felt that he was not so competent.

He asked the doorman, "May I ask which classroom is Tan Yiyi in?" ”

The doorman replied: "It's the school girl Tan Yiyi, right?" The first classroom on the left side of the second floor. ”

Tan Weicai finally knew that his daughter was the school girl, and she inherited the excellent genes on his and Shuying's appearance. He suddenly felt how ridiculous he was, he had always felt that Yiyi was a narrow-minded girl, and thus ignored her appearance.

He went up to the second floor and saw through the window that the classroom was going on. Only then did he understand why the school had been renamed, and it had already been co-educational. Among the many students, he recognized his daughter at a glance, and she stood like a star. And the one sitting next to her wasn't the handsome boy who sent her back that day? It turns out that maybe he really misunderstood her!

For the first time, he secretly watched his daughter go to class, and her daughter was very serious, she listened attentively and took notes from time to time. This is the first time that he actually feels proud of his daughter. For many years, he hated her stubborn bad temper and her so-called scheming, but in fact, his daughter did not fail him, and she worked hard to accept new education and new ideas. He was really touched by how hard she was studying.

He watched his daughter quietly until the bell rang and the students walked out of the classroom one after another. The classmates passing by looked at him curiously in a suit and leather shoes, probably guessing whose father he was.

Teacher Luo walked out, and Tan Weicai politely stretched out his right hand: "Hello teacher, I am Tan Yiyi's father." I want to take her home early if I have something at home today. ”

Teacher Luo looked at Tan Weicai, who was polite and polite, and thought to himself how Tan Yiyi, who was usually so indifferent, could have such a gentle father, and he hurriedly returned: "Okay, this is no problem. Then he shouted into the classroom: "Tan Yiyi, your father has come to pick you up." ”

Tan Weicai appeared at the door of the classroom like that, and Yiyi suddenly felt incredible.

Xu Lingya next to her said: "Yiyi, your father is so handsome." I thought that capitalists were full of brains, but I didn't expect it to be like this. ”

Xu Hanming looked at Tan Weicai, nodded at him with a smile that was neither humble nor arrogant, showing his politeness. Tan Weicai nodded to him knowingly, and said to Yiyi: "Pack up your books, if you have an urgent matter at home, follow me home." ”

Yiyi packed up her books and walked out of the classroom after her father, and everyone in the school seemed to be attracted to them.

"Tan Yiyi's father is really personable."

"It turns out that this is what Confucian merchants really look like."

Listening to the praise along the way, Tan Yiyi followed her father to the outside of the school, and the driver was already waiting. Sitting in the car, Tan Weicai said: "From tomorrow, I will ask the driver to drive you to and from school." ”

Yiyi said, "No need. I like to walk to and from school on my own. ”

Tan Weicai said: "You are a girl, you are not safe. ”

Yiyi said: "All girls are girls, why am I special?" I like to walk, Daddy. Yiyi is actually coquettish, this is the first time she has been coquettish to her father for many years, and she is still as gentle and lovely as last night.

When she was gentle and lovely, Tan Wei felt that the whole world was his own. He said, "Okay, but call me too late after school and I'll have the driver pick you up." ”

Yiyi saw that the route driven by the driver was not the way home, and she asked curiously, "Daddy, where are we going?" ”

Tan Weicai said: "Today I will take you to meet Teacher Chen Bingning, whom you once thought about!" ”

Yiyi asked excitedly: "Is she back in Hangzhou?" What about Brother Mingming? Is he back too? ”

Tan Weicai said: "Teacher Chen is back, but I don't know if Mingming has come back, I'll know when I go to her house in a while." ”

With an anxious mood, Yiyi and Tan Wei came to the Qian Mansion. Knocking on the door, a middle-aged maid with a stern face looked at them suspiciously: "Who are you looking for?"

Tan Weicai said, "I'm looking for Mr. Qian and Mr. Chen."

"Teacher Chen?" There was still no smile on the maid's face.

Tan Weicai hurriedly corrected: "It's Mrs. Chen Bingning." She had taught my daughter piano before. That's why I call her Ms. Chen. Today I met Mr. Qian and Mr. Chen at the furniture store, and they invited us to meet at the mansion. My surname is Tan. ”

The maid said, "I'll go in and give you a call." You wait first. Then he closed the door and turned away.

Yiyi looked at Tan Weicai: "Daddy, as soon as I walked to this door, I felt that the atmosphere was so cold." How is this maid cold? ”

"We don't have to worry about these superficial phenomena. Looks don't say anything. Some people are cold and frosty on the outside, but in fact there is a fire burning inside, and some people smile brightly, but they may be bitter inside. ”

The door opened, and the middle-aged maid came back and said, "Mr. Tan, please come in."

Tan Weicai and Yiyi passed by a corridor under the leadership of a middle-aged maid, and suddenly a man dressed strangely, his face blackened with pot ash, and his body emitted a foul smell, jumped out and laughed wildly at Yiyi. Yiyi was startled, and Tan Weicai instinctively hid Yiyi behind him.

The middle-aged maid hurriedly pushed the fool: "Don't mess around, go back to the house quickly."

The fool jumped away, and the middle-aged woman looked at Tan Weicai and Yiyi, who looked confused, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, this is my stupid son, let you see and laugh."

Passing through the hallway and into the hall, a slender lady was waiting for them. Yiyi recognized Chen Bingning, who she hadn't seen for eleven years, at a glance: "Teacher Chen!"

Chen Bingning was still as cold as ice: "You are Tan Yiyi, right?"

Yiyi said eagerly: "Yes, Teacher Chen, what about Brother Mingming?"

Chen Bingning's face sank, and his expression seemed to be controlling the incomparable pain in his heart and said, "Thank you for still remembering us, but, Yiyi, your brother Ming has passed away in an accident."

It was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Yiyi couldn't believe her eyes, so beautifully stored in her memory, Brother Ming, as bright as the moon in the sky, why didn't he disappear in the world? She stared at her beautiful eyes in horror, shook her head and said bitterly, "Teacher Chen, please tell me, this is not true!"
