On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Tang Jiao saw that her mother had been walking around the living room several times, and finally asked: "Mom, what's the matter?"
If not, it wouldn’t be like this, right? The way he hesitates to speak is really puzzling.
Shen Lianyi was silent for a moment, and then whispered: "Ah, your father wants you to go to the Tang family for the Chinese New Year. You... what do you think?"
Shen Lianyi absolutely didn't want her daughter to go, but she had to ask her daughter about such things. Moreover, her daughter's surname is Tang, so she can't stop her. Thinking about this makes her feel uncomfortable.
She said: "If you want to go..."
"Mom, I don't want to go."
Tang Jiao immediately interrupted her mother. She looked at her mother's face and said with a smile: "Why should I go to their house to celebrate the New Year! They don't like me. If I go, I will definitely get into trouble with them! Ruoruo What should I do if they hold me captive again and won’t let me come back?”
Tang Jiao told all the possible bad results and said seriously: "Those in the Tang family have nothing to do with us for a long time. They hate me so much. If I go back, I will be killed by them or sold." How to do it?"
After saying this, Shen Lianyi immediately became determined: "Yes, yes, you can't go back with them. What if something happens to you when you go back? Mom only has you as a precious daughter. Mom... I'll call Tang Zhiyong now, Why go to the Tang Family to celebrate the New Year? Is my daughter allowed to go to the Tang Family’s kind of dragon pond and tiger den?”
She hurriedly called Tang Zhiyong. Tang Jiao was sitting on the side, looking at her mother's face, and said softly: "Mom, why don't I do it?"
Shen Lianyi was stunned for a moment, then said: "You fight?"
Tang Jiao laughed softly and said, "Yes, let me talk to dad, otherwise he will think you are the instigator! I have to let him know the reason why I don't go."
Tang Jiao was so angry that she didn't pay for her life, but Shen Lianyi didn't know it. When Tang Jiao said this, she agreed straightforwardly.
As expected, Tang Zhiyong was so angry that his daughter turned him upside down again.
Tang Jiao hung up the phone lightly and said, "It's done."
After dinner in the evening, the mother and daughter talked about such things with Shen Qing. Shen Lianyi muttered: "I can't let Ayo go there. Who knows what their intentions are."
Speaking of this, Shen Qing put down his chopsticks: "You are right not to agree, otherwise they may not have allowed Ayo to come back smoothly."
Tang Jiao narrowed her eyes slightly when she said this: "Is something wrong?"
Shen Qing nodded: "Tang Shijie is still in prison and has not been released. They have been walking around for many days, but to no avail. They have come to me before, and the meaning is that they hope that I can provide money to help with the matter. I drove her away. If Ayou is taken back by them, I'm afraid they will definitely detain someone to negotiate with us."
Speaking of this, Tang Jiao really lamented that shameless people are invincible.
She sneered and said: "Aren't they more ambitious? Don't they boast that they come from a scholarly family and have a wide circle of friends? Why do they need help from others now?"
Shen Qing smiled but said nothing.
In fact, even if Shen Qing didn't tell them, they still knew that although the Tang family was a scholarly family, there were many scholars, and in terms of money, it was not really a lot. Since Tang Zhiming lost his job, Tang Zhiyong was the only one in the Tang family working in the city government. If we talk about dignity, it's just that. In the past, when people saw him being generous, they always had to give him some face. After all, you can also get benefits. But Tang Zhiyong is also divorced. How can he have so much money for socializing? In this way, things are different now.
Tang Jiao was really refreshed when she heard that the person she hated was not doing well. She said, "With such good news, I can eat several more bowls of rice!"
"Brother, they won't embarrass you and cause you trouble, right?" Shen Lianyi was worried about her brother.
Shen Qing sneered and said: "How dare they! They don't even know who they are. They treated my sister like that and now they still want me to help? I think they are tired of living. I don't care about Tang Shijie's affairs." It's my mercy to step on you. Besides, Tang Zhiyong didn't even show up, so how could they have the nerve to come to me?"
Tang Zhiyong was very afraid of Shen Qing, and he refused to come forward for help even for his nephew.
Speaking of which, Shen Qing sometimes thought that Tang Zhiyong was actually quite cool-tempered, but he was cool to Tang Shijie, even if it had nothing to do with him, he was still in a very good mood.
Tang Jiao was not worried about this. She smiled brightly: "Mom, don't worry? I think my uncle has his own sense of discretion. Besides, if they come to the door, they will be kicked out at worst. If they can't do it, they will report it to the patrol room. How can they still go to heaven? They If you want to reunite in prison, then go ahead and do whatever you want."
Perhaps Tang Jiao's attitude was very resolute, and her brother said this again. Shen Lianyi felt more and more that she had done the right thing this time. From now on, she couldn't care about their shameless people. Anyway, don't do it right away. It’s best to give them face.
Thinking this way, my mood improved.
Tang Jiao didn't even plan to pay Tang Zhiyong a New Year's greeting. For this father, there would be no harm in them staying away. This way, they could keep some good thoughts about each other. If not, Tang Jiao felt that she might not be able to control herself from doing bad things to him.
After all, having a brainless and stupid father can be very troublesome.
Speaking of which, she really hadn't heard from the Tang family or Hu Ruyu for a long time. She didn't care about the life and death of these people. Compared to when she was just reborn, Tang Jiao was much calmer.
The doorbell rang, and within a moment, Siye came in with a few bags. She said awkwardly, "Miss, um... this was sent from the next door, saying that I promised you."
Tang Jiao let out a sigh, a little confused.
But when I heard that it was delivered by Master Gu Qi, I quickly moved forward. The several bags were full of clothes, which looked more like dresses suitable for banquets.
Shen Lianyi and Shen Qing looked at each other in confusion. She finally couldn't hold it back and asked, "Hey, what's going on?"
Tang Jiao smiled and told Siye: "Take them all upstairs, hang them up and iron them."
She turned around and saw the incomprehensible look between her uncle and her mother. She burst out laughing and said, "We made a bet and he lost. He promised to take me to the banquet. These are the clothes for the banquet."
Shen Lianyi took her daughter's hand and said earnestly: "We can't always ask for other people's things. Girls must not be short-sighted, otherwise they will be easily deceived. Some men now rely on some money to earn money. You kid, whatever you like, mom can buy it for you, why do we need other people’s things?"
Tang Jiao leaned on the sofa and asked with a smile: "Do you think Master Gu Qi is an emotional liar?"
After saying this, Shen Lianyi immediately said: "Of course not."
Tang Jiao laughed, nodded and said, "That's it, so there's nothing to worry about."
She took a step forward, approached Shen Lianyi, and said seriously: "Mom, you have to know that I am not a fool. What I do is what I want. And although Gu Qiye is not a good person, he can't cheat. It’s about the little girl. He still has some integrity. After all, he is not the butterfly like Qi Ba."
What I said... I mean, it's so exciting!
But when it came to Master Qi Ba, Shen Lianyi paused for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but didn't.
Tang Jiao noticed it immediately and asked, "But what?"
Shen Lianyi shook his head: "Not really."
Tang Jiao was afraid that this shameless person would attack her mother, so she immediately said: "Mom, if Mr. Qi Ba approaches you and starts talking to you, you must stay away. This person is shameless. He has the worst moral integrity. , if it is to deceive feelings, he dares to say that he is second, and no one dares to say that he is first. You cannot be deceived by him."
Tang Jiao's instructions were very serious, and Shen Lianyi burst into laughter.
She didn't know what was going through their little head.
She took a deep breath and said: "Don't you think about the possibility? How can a good young man like me at my age like me? Besides, I don't know him, we just met him at the gate of Jining Two or three times, he made a special trip to see Miss Hu off."
Tang Jiao interrupted: "Why are you so old? You are obviously very beautiful and elegant. Anyway, be careful with him."
Shen Qing agreed with her nephew's daughter's words and helped her. Shen Lianyi really couldn't laugh or cry. Only the two of them regarded her as a fairy. In fact, this was nothing. How could they like her
Even so, they were happy in their hearts, after all, they thought they were so good.
She whispered: "Okay, okay, I'm good at everything. I stay away from those who seem to be indifferent. Actually, I just want to say... This person may not be sincere towards Miss Hu. I went to buy New Year's goods two days ago and saw him and A very familiar woman was shopping together, and the two of them were very close. At that time, I thought that woman looked familiar. Later I thought that she was a small star. I heard that she had just emerged and was very popular. Her name was Yuan Feifei. I thought Let me remind you, Miss Hu, it’s just Teacher Hu... Miss Hu seems to be quite nice, but I’m afraid that people not only don’t believe me, but also think we have bad intentions.”
In the past, Shen Lianyi would rather be blamed than talk about it, but these days, he also went out to study all day long. In addition to learning knowledge, he also saw a lot of human feelings and worldliness, and knew that some things may not be as simple as they seem. Like this, she hesitated for a while. She actually felt that this was not good. How could a person be ignorant of right and wrong? But she didn't know what to do if she wronged someone or ruined Miss Hu's happiness.
She sighed deeply and said, "Forget it, why am I telling you this?"
Tang Jiao smiled and said, "Mom is right, please don't worry about this matter. If you really feel a little sorry, I will find a way to remind Miss Hu."
Seeing the mother and daughter showing good intentions, Shen Qing suddenly said: "How do you know that Miss Hu doesn't know anything?"
As soon as these words came out, Tang Jiao was stunned. She was confused by her past life and intuitively felt that Hu Yici was a victim and an abandoned person, but she never thought of this.
"Maybe she knows, but she just doesn't want to expose this sweet dream? You are well-meaning people, but if you go and speak out, what does she think? If it were someone who is narrow-minded, I'm afraid she will blame you. Think twice before doing anything."
Tang Jiao thought about it and felt that it made sense. She nodded slightly and said, "I understand, uncle, don't worry."
Shen Qing: "One more thing. Gu Qiye and I have agreed to sign a contract tomorrow. Since you are the owner, you should be there in person."
Tang Jiao sighed and said, "But I... wasn't it all handled by my uncle?"
Shen Qing feels that this little girl of hers is extremely smart and clever, but if she is called coquettish and naive, she is really sad.
He said: "Of course I will handle it. If it is an outsider, I can naturally handle it, but look at the current situation. Since we are neighbors and acquaintances, how can you not come forward? And this is different from when the Xu family signed the contract. As Mr. Gu Qi, if you are not present, I will have full authority to handle everything. Does it give people the feeling that they are not taken seriously? We always have to give people face. "
Tang Jiao thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "That's good."
Shen Qing: "We will sign a contract at the Sihai Hotel tomorrow. You and your mother will go there together. Let's have dinner there by the way."
Tang Jiao teased with a smile: "Just turn left after exiting the door, but you have to go somewhere to sign a contract. You guys are interesting."
Shen Qing said meaningfully: "Public is public, private is private."
Seeing that her uncle had put on a preachy face, Tang Jiao immediately covered her ears.
She curled her lips and went upstairs: "I'm going to pick out a skirt..."
Don't listen to the truth!
Shen Qing saw her running upstairs and smiled helplessly: "This girl!"
Shen Lianyi was actually quite worried about Tang Jiao. She whispered to Shen Qing: "Brother, you said Ayo and Gu Qiye next door..."
He didn't know what to say, but Shen Qing saw it. He patted his sister on the shoulder and said, "Let nature take its course. Ayo is not an idiot."
"But she is a child after all."
Shen Qing smiled: "You are very smart. Besides, with us watching from the side, why do you need to worry?"
Shen Lianyi thought for a while and finally nodded.
