This is probably an intuition, even if Yan Xi and Tang Mu's biological father have never met, he can vaguely judge that this man is his father.
Yan Xi remembered that Tang Mu had said that he hadn't seen his biological father for more than ten years.
Want to
Tang Mu said he didn't think much of it either.
It's just that when he sees someone else having a dad occasionally, he'll be confused.
His father is still alive, but it seems that he has completely disappeared.
Tang Mu heard that he had already formed a new family. Tang Mu also heard from his mother that his father used to be brilliant, but he was deceived by a woman and had a miserable life.
There are also quite a few relatives who know Father Tang in their hometown. Sometimes, some broken mouths will grab Tang Mu and ask, "Oh, Tang Mu, does your father still have contact with you? I heard that he went abroad to work, do you know?"
Although Tang Mu was young at the time, he already knew the world, he looked at the person in front of him, and he didn't need to respond, that person would talk to him on his own: "Oh, you are his son after all, maybe After he goes abroad and earns money, he will still think of you."
Someone next to him immediately interjected: "Where do you need his father, Zhou Maoguo's family treats him as his grandson."
When Tang Mu saw that they had finished speaking, he would take a deep breath and walk away silently.
He is the protagonist of their words, but not.
Because he didn't need to participate in the whole process, he just stood there silently and didn't let others go to Zhou's house and criticize him for being rude.
Although Tang Mu never told Yan Xi the details of his life in S Town, Yan Xi understood everything.
Tang Xuanqi nodded after hearing Yan Xi's words: "Yes, I am Tang Mu's father."
Although this man looks old, he speaks with a zeal.
Guan Hongtu and Li Bochao were also stunned when they heard this. Li Bochao pondered for a while, stood up first, and said politely to him: "It turns out to be Uncle Tang, we are friends of Tang Mu."
"Have you eaten yet? Would you like to come with us?"
Tang Xuanqi waved his hand: "No, I'm at the table next to you."
Guan Hongtu looked at him for a while and said, "Tang Mu has gone to the toilet and will be back in a while."
Tang Xuanqi nodded and glanced in the direction of the toilet, as if vaguely expecting something.
At this time, Li Bochao whispered to Guan Hongtu: "It looks very similar."
When Tang Mu came out, he happened to meet Tang Xuanqi's face, and almost immediately, he recognized who was in front of him.
Tang Mu stood there, not knowing whether to advance or retreat for a while.
In the end, Yan Xi stood up, walked to Tang Mu's side, and reminded him in his ear, "Uncle Tang is here, why don't you go over and say hello?"
Tang Xuanqi's eyes warmed slightly after seeing Tang Mu, he stepped forward, grabbed Tang Mu's hand directly, and asked him, "Tang Mu, do you still know me?"
Tang Mu hesitated for a long time, then trembled: "I know, you are my dad."
Tang Xuanqi laughed excitedly: "Yes, you stinky boy, you still recognize me."
As if knowing that Tang Mu had nothing to say, he said alone: "I just came back from country E and passed by here. I heard that you were admitted to L University, so I thought of trying my luck here, but I didn't expect that luck would be good. , I found you on the first day I came here."
"Tang Mu, how have you been all these years?"
Tang Mu clenched his fists tightly, he really didn't know how to answer him.
Tang Mu's mood has recovered a lot, and he responded coldly: "It's okay."
"That's good, that's good." Tang Xuanqi nodded.
Tang Mu sneered coldly in his heart: "What's so good?" Of course, he didn't ask this question.
Father and son, the two visible divisions, facing each other directly, were relatively speechless.
It was Yan Xi who reminded first: "Uncle Tang, why don't you sit down and eat first, Tang Mu is hungry."
Tang Xuanqi nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, what do you children want to eat, uncle treats you."
Yan Xi smiled slightly: "No need, I have paid, let's sit down and eat first."
The seats in the mall are all four-person tables, so Tang Xuanqi naturally couldn't sit with the four of them.
Originally, when the four of them ate together, they would chat for a while.
Tell me about the latest game, the new game you played recently, and your holiday plans.
Anyway, it's just one sentence and one sentence, just chat a little.
Now that Tang Xuanqi was sitting behind, the four of them had a very depressed meal.
Tang Mu's appetite was even worse. He slowly chewed a beef meatball until it was tasteless, and finally thought of swallowing it.
Yan Xi stuffed the beef balls in his bowl into his, and whispered, "I eat less in the morning, and I eat late at noon. Nothing is more important than eating enough."
After Tang Mu heard Yan Xi's words, he picked up the beef ball he handed over quite naturally, and then ate a big mouthful of rice.
Father Tang naturally noticed the weird atmosphere between Yan Xi and Tang Mu, but he didn't say much.
Tang Xuanqi eats fast, and after finishing his bowl of rice quickly, he sits there and waits for Tang Mu.
Since he was a child, Tang Mu has not looked so much like him. At that time, everyone said that the child looked like his mother.
Now that he has grown up, Tang Mu is very similar to Tang Xuanqi when he was young.
At first glance, it was someone from their old Tang family.
Although Tang Xuanqi has been abroad in recent years, he has also received many domestic calls.
"Your son did well in the college entrance examination. I heard that he was admitted to L University. Oh, there is a college student in your old Tang family. After all, you and your brother are not very good at studying."
"Oh, that day I went to S town to see your son, a big man of about 1.8 meters. He is very handsome."
Every time he heard the praise of Tangmu, Tang Xuanqi followed him with joy and honor.
Tang Xuanqi is just such a son as Tang Mu. Although he has ignored Tang Mu all these years, he still has high hopes for Tang Mu.
When he just saw Yan Xi stealing Tang Mu's kiss, Tang Xuanqi lost his mind for a moment, but he was relieved quickly, thinking that maybe the two boys had a good relationship, maybe it was a joke.
Tang Mu is still young, and he will talk about lifelong events after graduation.
Tang Xuanqi finally waited until after they finished eating before Yan Xi asked Tang Mu, "In that moment, let your father and son chat alone?"
Tang Mu was silent for a moment, then nodded at Yan Xi.
Yan Xi stood up and smiled at Tang Xuanqi: "Then Uncle Tang, we won't bother, you and Tang Mu must have a lot to say."
Tang Xuanqi was very polite to Yan Xi. He shook hands with Yan Xi, then looked at Guan Hongtu and Li Bochao, and said to them, "Thank you for taking care of Tang Mu. If you have time, let's have a meal together."
Yan Xi nodded and smiled slightly: "Okay."
Li Bochao also said: "Goodbye Uncle Tang, we will go back first."
Tang Xuanqi nodded.
After Li Bochao and Guan Hongtu got into the elevator, no one dared to ask Tang Mu directly.
When the elevator stopped on the first floor, Yan Xi gave the two of them the access card of the review room, and said to them, "Go back to review first, I'll be waiting for him here."
Li Bochao and Guan Hongtu glanced at each other, and said hurriedly, "I won't be able to learn anyway, otherwise I'll be here with you."
"No, I'll just go for a walk by myself." Yan Xi said.
Guan Hongtu nodded, then dragged Li Bochao away.
There is a water bar at the entrance on the first floor. After Yan Xi bought a large cup of fruit tea, he sat there and waited for Tang Mu.
And each other, Tang Mu was sitting opposite Tang Xuanqi, waiting for Tang Xuanqi to speak.
Tang Xuanqi bought Tang Mu a cup of coffee, but Tang Mu didn't move.
He bought a bottle of mineral water for himself, and after drinking it, he explained, "I've been wanting to see you all these years, but your mother never let me see you."
Tang Mu retorted: "There are always more ways than difficulties. My mother is a tough person. If you really want to see it, you don't have to work so hard."
After Tang Xuanqi and Song Wen divorced, they only saw Tang Mu once. Tang Xuanqi lives in the city, while Tang Mu lives in the town. As a bus, it took three hours to arrive.
He just didn't want to see Tang Mu, so he made so many excuses.
When Tang Xuanqi heard this, he paused for a moment, and then nodded again: "Yes, I went to see you once, but your mother prevented me from seeing you. In the following years, I was not very happy. Last year, I paid my foreign debts. I’ve been working in country e for the past few years, and I’m very tired every day. It’s cold there, and I eat radish and cabbage every day.”
"I heard that your mother found a coal boss and followed that man. Your mother and son must have a better life than me."
"There is also the matter of alimony. I know your mother must complain. I haven't paid you a penny of alimony all these years. But Tang Mu, I hope you understand that my father is also incapable. If there is..."
Tang Mu took a deep breath, not wanting to listen to his sophistry too much.
Back then, after Tang Xuanqi and Song Wen got married, they had good luck. Invested in a lumber mill and quickly made money.
Tang Xuanqi later went out to establish his own business and became the director of the timber factory.
Tang Xuanqi, who had just become rich, soon lost his interest in Song Wen. He kept playing with women outside and didn't even come home.
That year, Tang Mu was only four years old.
Song Wen went crazy and ran to the hotel to block him. On the street, Tang Xuanqi was protecting the woman in his arms and slapped Song Wen in front of Tang Mu.
Tang Mu was standing there crying, and Tang Xuanqi picked up Tang Mu, stopped a taxi, and stuffed Tang Mu and Song Wen into the car.
After that, Tang Mu could always hear Song Wen locking himself in the room and crying.
Later, Song Wen kept begging Tang Xuanqi humbly to go home. When Tang Xuanqi sued for divorce, Song Wen called him crying: "For the sake of the children, can't we not divorce?"
Tang Mu remembered that his grandmother remembered to slap Song Wen directly: "I tell you, although divorce will be looked down upon by people in our village, but Song Wen, you are my daughter, I will not allow you to beg a man so lowly. ."
It was at that moment that the divorce lawsuit between Song Wen and Tang Xuanqi was put on the agenda.
The divorce lawsuit at that time was also very sensational. Tang Xuanqi knew someone at the time, and that person's name Tang Mu still remembers.
Her name is Ma Xiaohui, and she and Tang Xuanqi have an improper relationship between men and women.
She told Tang Xuanqi that she had a way to get Song Wen out of the house, as long as Tang Xuanqi fought for the custody of the child and laid off Song Wen with no financial resources to suppress her.
Tang Xuanqi was already on the verge of winning, and when Ma Xiaohui saw Song Wen at that time, she was also complacent.
Tang Mu still remembered that the woman Ma Xiaohui pinched Tang Mu's face and whispered to him: "Tang Mu, your father will find you a more beautiful and gentle mother in the future."
After speaking, she laughed and walked away on high heels.
Of course, there is still justice in this world.
At the last moment, Song Wen's former classmates found out about her. She came forward to help Song Wen, helped her get custody of the child, and handled their joint property fairly.
Tang Xuanqi lost the lawsuit and once troubled Song Wen.
Song Wen was afraid that he would make trouble again, so he sold the property and furniture in a hurry, and took Tang Mu back to the countryside.
And Tang Xuanqi never gave Tang Mu a penny in child support.
Song Wen also went to ask for it, but Tang Xuanqi had already been deceived by his mistress at that time, not to mention all his property, and the timber factory was also bankrupt.
Not only is he out of money, he also owes a lot of foreign debt.
When Tang Xuanqi was young, he was a famous punk.
When Song Wen asked him for alimony, he almost beat Song Wen.
He also said that he was not afraid of Song Wen going to sue him. Anyway, he had no money, so he would go to jail if it was a big deal.
Song Wen's character was inherently weak. Seeing him like this, he couldn't help it, so he put Tang Mu in foster care at his grandmother's house and went out to work by himself.
It was not until Tang Mu was ten years old that she met Zhou Maoguo after being introduced.
How are the years going? Tang Mu is also asking himself.
These years have been really bad.
Tang Mu didn't know when, his tears had already fallen.
He was finally able to raise his head, looked at Tang Xuanqi, and said word by word, "Yeah, your ability is used to beat your wife. You said that you are incompetent and can't pay child support. But you are not living well yet. Have you ever thought about how your ex-wife and son lived when you were out and about?"
"Have you ever thought about how I have survived all these years?"
Tang Xuanqi was suffocated for a while, and he didn't even dare to look into Tang Mu's eyes.
"You hate Dad, you should."
Tang Mu chuckled lightly and laughed at himself: "I don't hate you, I have been thinking that I don't have a father all these years."
