Fang Su seemed to be in disbelief, pondering for a while to respond to those two words, thinking of the name "Fang De" in his mind.
The maid who came to spread the word had been shocked by Tang Qiaoyuan's gaze and knelt down. Fang Su looked at her expression and knew that this matter must have something to do with her. He looked up at the man beside him, wandered and asked, "Is that my father?"
Tang Qiaoyuan didn't answer, looked down at him, nodded no, shook his head incorrectly, he didn't think of how to respond, he heard him ask again: "My father... why did he come to kowtow to make amends? Is he in debt again? "
Tang Qiaoyuan sighed, he was completely out of tricks, he couldn't hide it, and it was easy to cause him to worry, so he simply confessed to him.
"No," Tang Qiaoyuan took Fang Su into his arms and replied after a while, "I detained him in the house."
Fang Su was puzzled, raised his head and looked at him silently, while thinking about the meaning of the words, he suddenly guessed something. He is smart, but he is a simple person and doesn't like to think about complicated things, so when he thinks about it, he thinks of the fact that this person was not in the room in the early morning. .
Tang Qiaoyuan noticed his strangeness, and hugged him a little tighter, vaguely feeling that the fact that he wanted to clarify with him today was probably more than a simple question. After thinking this way, Tang Qiaoyuan also calmed down, asked him what he meant in a low and gentle voice, and said, "Will Susu go with me, or wait for me in this courtyard?"
"I'll go with you." Fang Su nodded to him without hesitation.
The mansion door was half-open, and the people outside the door kept kowtowing, and there were some dark purple marks in the middle of the forehead. Tang Qiaoyuan could hear Fang De's particularly bitter cry from a distance. When the figure came into the person's sight, the voice suddenly became much louder, crying and shouting "Tang Zhuangzhu".
Tang Qiaoyuan had no intention of concealing Fang Su any longer, but he still had some considerations in his heart, so he raised his hand to stop him here. Tang Qiaoyuan leaned sideways and kissed Fang Su's earlobe lightly, leaving a very low voice along the way: "Wait for me here."
Fang Su stopped according to what he said and looked out of the door from a distance.
It was probably because the attire had changed a bit, and the outsiders didn't recognize him from a distance, just kneeled in Tang Qiaoyuan's direction and walked a few steps. Lord! There are a lot of lord Tang Zhuang, so let go of my ignorant wife and children... Tang Zhuang lord, I beg you..."
Tang Qiaoyuan approached, looked down at his low back, and replied, "The door of Tang Mansion is not always open. If they dare to walk in, they should know that it is difficult to walk out."
"Master Tang..." Fang De slammed his forehead on the threshold and kept begging for mercy, "It's my wife and children who are ignorant, you don't remember the villains, let them go... They are nothing to you, you should be Zuo is to release two ants, I promise... I promise that neither of them will appear in front of your eyes from now on!"
Tang Qiaoyuan smiled coldly, and suddenly his voice increased a bit, as if he was deliberately telling someone to listen to, and asked, "I, Tang Qiaoyuan, are not a good person. You dare to beg me here, are you not afraid of losing your life?"
How could Fang De not be afraid, when he heard the words, his whole body trembled like a sieve, and his face couldn't help turning white, but despite this, he still gritted his teeth and begged: "The villain is afraid... but the villain can't help but come! Master Tang... Those are my wife and children, the most important person to me... Without them, what is the difference between being dead..."
"Oh?" Tang Qiaoyuan's tone was extremely disdainful. Thinking of the man standing not far behind, he felt reluctant to part with it, but he had to resolutely continue to say, "When I wanted your life, why didn't you think like that? Could it be that Fang Qiang is your son, and Fang Su is not?"
There were beads of sweat on Fang De's forehead, and he suddenly fell silent.
The man asked, "Answer me, is Fang Su your parent?"
"Yes..." Fang De shook his heart, gritted his teeth and replied, "He is my own son... The owner of Villa Tang, Su'er's mother left early, and I feel sorry for him... But I am a man, and I also want a daughter-in-law to warm the bed. , so later... I married his second mother... His second mother gave birth to a strong son, and the family finally became complete again... Although I also feel sorry for Su'er, but he and his second mother have never been able to get along, I really can't do it... "
"No way? So you gave him to me easily? To survive, or to kill two birds with one stone?"
Fang De heard his anger, he dared not speak again, and kowtowed to him. Tang Qiaoyuan was so disgusted by his useless appearance that he wanted to lift his foot and kick him farther away, but he was worried about someone behind him, so he finally restrained.
"Since you are so concerned about those two, go take a look," Tang Qiaoyuan didn't want to talk to him any more, he raised his head and motioned to the two servants at the door, "Take it down."
"Yes, the owner!" The two strong men stepped forward and lifted Fang De, who was pale, from the ground and took him away.
The sound of begging for mercy drifted away, Tang Qiaoyuan turned around, and Fang Su stood still. This man was deeply distressed, but he did not regret the words he forced Fang De to say. He just felt that it was better. Fang Su was only sad for a while, at least he could completely cut off his thoughts.
Tang Qiaoyuan approached him, reached out and held up his bowed head, and when his palm touched his chin, it was instantly stained with a layer of wet water stains. Tang Qiaoyuan's heart was pulled, and he lowered his head and slowly kissed the tears on his face.
After a long while, the man told the whole story and whispered to him.
"A few months ago, I went to relax outside the city, and I saw you in the forest where no one has ever been there. You were cleaning your mother's tomb at that time, and you were serious. I'm afraid you never found me from beginning to end." Tang Qiaoyuan said Then, Fang Su gradually raised his eyes to look at him, he curved his lips into a smile, his tone became softer and softer, and continued, "I just like it so much, I don't know whose child this is, why is it so pleasing, eh?"
Fang Su's long eyelashes trembled, but her mood was still not good, and she was waiting for the next sentence in despair.
Tang Qiaoyuan sighed lightly.
"After I returned to the mansion, people were found out about your background... In fact, for me, it is easy to take you as my own. I can give your family a sum of money, hire a matchmaker, and marry you, but I sent someone to arrest your father, threatened him with his life, and ordered him to send you to pay off the debt." Tang Qiaoyuan was not sure if Fang Su would feel resentment for being so frank, but the words could not be taken back, so he had to speak in full. Go on, "I have several casinos under my command. Your father is a gambler and always loves to owe money to casinos, but in fact it is only a small amount. Although he can't repay it in time, it accumulates over time, or when he is lucky, He can always pay it back little by little, so the people in the casino have never tried to collect debts from him too much... But that day, the people under me lured him to lose a lot of money, so big that he would not pay a fraction in his life. . And then, you should know."
There were several surprises and confusions in Fang Su's eyes. He thought about many possibilities, but he was not sure about one of them, and it lingered. Asked: "But why..."
Tang Qiaoyuan tilted his head and kissed him, and he could taste the salty and astringent taste on his lips. The man kissed as many as he could, until the lips were moistened and warm, and became sweet again, he only left a few inches and replied softly. "Because I don't want you to have anything to do with such a family anymore, I can give you everything, so that you will no longer have any sadness, all the good things in this world, as long as you like them, I can find them and give them to you. You. I want you to no longer have anything to do with the past. For the rest of your life, the only important person is me, and you can only rely on me."
Fang Su looked stunned, looked at him dumbfoundedly, her emotions were complicated, and it was difficult to explain.
Tang Qiaoyuan shook his head and said, "I'm not fair enough, I'm not a gentleman, but I really want to love you, so I'll never think I've done anything wrong... I just didn't expect your second mother. Being able to be even more brazen than I thought, even if I send you away by way of debt repayment, I would be embarrassed to share your benefits. This morning, she brought her son to the door on her own initiative, and I detained her in the house, This is the reason why your father came to apologize. Now the three of them are in this Tang Mansion, let it go or not, and how to deal with it, it is up to you to decide, as long as you say it, no matter what you ask, I will agree."
Fang Su's eyes gradually became erratic, and her thoughts were confused. After listening to the process of what this person said, she seemed to have a lot to say, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't utter a single word. Tang Qiaoyuan was not in a hurry to wait for his response, he touched his forehead, picked him up and walked back to the main courtyard.
Back in the room, the man put Fang Su on the bed and left him alone for a while. Tang Qiaoyuan didn't say another word, didn't leave the room, but didn't stay in front of him, he opened the curtain and went to sit alone in the outer room, waiting patiently.
Fang Su looked at his figure when he left, and recalled every word he said over and over again in the silent room. After thinking about it many times, he unconsciously remembered the day he married him. Thinking of this man's gentle smile and warm palms, his words and deeds were all wiping out the panic and fear in his heart.
Thinking of the end, a question suddenly popped into Fang Su's mind - what would happen to Tang Qiaoyuan if he never liked him and the two would never meet in their lifetime
He can't do it... But he has no joy or sorrow, and he is used to living the lonely life of the past, with no one at home to rely on, until the end of his life.
It is also possible that he will meet someone else, and he may be emotional to escape from the empty past. This is also a lifetime, but despite that, there will never be Tang Qiaoyuan again, there will never be such a person who will love him carefully, teach him to write, read to him, put him to sleep at night, wake him up in the morning, all the time. , in every possible way.
Fang Su gradually calmed down and thought about everything clearly.
He cared about his father, but because of blood kinship, because he always had childhood memories in his heart, and wishful thinking hoped that Fang's father would pay the same attention to him. But in fact, everything is self-deception. Fang's father has already become someone else's father. He is just an extra in the family. He will become a fish in Fang's heart because he is not loved by Erniang.
There was no place for him in that family, but Tang Qiaoyuan gave him the place he deserved and the care and love he most expected. Up to now, this person has appeared and is the only irreplaceable one...
Fang Su's thoughts are clear.
He raised his eyes, looked at the bead curtains that were still hanging down, and smiled softly back on his face.
