In the lounge.
Apple tried to be as calm as possible, except for saying nothing.
Tianyi's staff greeted each other and left.
When Li Juan was about to go out, Apple held her hand, looked at her from bottom to top, and did not let go.
Li Juan patted the back of Apple's hand in turn, and said with a smile: "It's okay, and it's not your fault. You can do whatever you want, at worst, scold you and then run away. If you can run a marathon, he will definitely not be able to catch up." superior."
Apple laughed and cried and said, "Well, good."
"But if you plan to kick him, you'd better be gentle. He looks a little old. It's not good to be as excited as just now." Li Juan said with a smile that she was worried.
But Apple pursed his lips and cried.
In fact, when she described to Xu Tingsheng the father she hadn't seen for twelve years, the image of him was still beautiful in her mind. She kept the best memory, and except for being puzzled, she did not attribute any difficulties and hardships to him.
But now, she doesn't know how to look at all this.
When Cen Qishan walked into the lounge, he tripped over the floor mat at the door. This successful man, who is now obviously of extraordinary status, seemed a little flustered at the moment, and then he looked at Apple with some embarrassment.
Apple had already wiped away his tears, stood up before he could speak, bowed, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Cen, for today's matter."
Just such a sentence pushes the man who should be called father far away. He is Mr. Cen.
The gray-haired Cen Qishan said with red eyes, "I'm sorry, Xi Yu, I haven't taken care of you for so many years, and I'm only coming back now."
This man had been looking forward to hearing "Dad", but at this moment, he no longer dared to hope.
He thought that Apple might throw himself into his arms excitedly, crying and cursing, and also thought that she might be hysterical and full of hatred, but the only thing he didn't expect was that she could be as calm and indifferent as she is now.
This is perhaps the scariest.
He said "Come back."
Because of this word, Apple was silent for a while, with some expectant brilliance in his eyes, and said: "You, will you go to Libei? Mom and grandma are there. Grandma can't see and is confused. Maybe... I still remember you."
Cen Qishan was silent.
After a while, he said: "Xiyu, I'm sorry, I'm going back to Japan in a while today. In the future, I will do my best to help you as much as possible, so you don't have to worry anymore."
Cen Qishan obviously avoided the question about Apple's mother and grandmother.
Apple pointed at himself and said hesitantly, "It's just me?"
Cen Qishan nodded slowly: "Xiyu, Dad has been fighting for twelve years to achieve this. There are many things I can't explain to you. If your mother doesn't know, don't let her know. If she knows, Say sorry for me."
Apple's eyes dimmed, but he laughed and said mockingly: "It seems that it's really embarrassing for you. It's so hard to say, you don't plan to tell me your difficulties, do you? Or your new woman is too powerful."
Then she stopped smiling and finally asked, "How are you doing?"
"...Okay." Cen Qishan said.
"That's good." After getting this answer, the entanglement in Apple's heart seemed to have finally come to an end. She said, "In the future, we, I mean me and my mother, and grandma, we will have a good life, the most difficult The days are over, I can take care of them. Then we and you, each live a good life... You, don't show up again."
Cen Qishan silently put down a business card on the table, only name and phone number.
Apple said: "I don't need to."
It seemed that there were many things he wanted to say but he couldn't. Cen Qishan quietly looked at the grown-up daughter in front of him, hesitated for a while, and then said: "That kid surnamed Xu, is he treating you well?"
When Cen Qishan mentioned Xu Tingsheng, Apple was surprised, and then said: "Okay. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be who I am now. I don't know what I would become."
"But this time, I'm a little disappointed in him," Cen Qishan said, "If he can't be wholehearted to you, Dad will help you solve it. He has no choice but to be good to my daughter alone."
Apple looked at him.
Cen Qishan seemed to have changed into a different person suddenly, and his aura returned to him. After these years, he has lived at another level, and he is no longer the Chinese teacher in middle school. He said:
"Xiyu, please tell him for me that I am very grateful for his care for you before. If you are well, I will be willing to provide him with all the help I can. However, if he disappoints you again, such as this time In this way... I will make him have nothing again."
Apple looked at the suddenly stranger Cen Qishan in front of him, and said firmly, "I don't allow you to touch him."
Cen Qishan could see the determination and recklessness in Apple's eyes.
"I don't know if my next sentence is treasonous," Apple said, "I just wrote off everything before, now, I treat you as a stranger, but if you really do something to him, I think... You will become my enemy."
…
Cen Qishan left his business card, regardless of whether Apple will take it away in the end.
When he left the lounge, the man shook his head and smiled wryly. In fact, even if the communication just now was not smooth, this might be his most heartwarming smile in twelve years.
It is expected that the daughter's family relationship cannot be restored. In fact, even if Apple is willing, it is impossible for the father and daughter to be too close.
That's all he got.
But, that scene just now...
Cen Qishan hadn't experienced the feeling of being a father for twelve years, but in the situation just now, he experienced the most tangled and helpless emotions that a father, perhaps every father with a daughter has to go through.
This feeling is helpless, but for Cen Qishan, he is very lucky.
When father and daughter discuss another man, the man their daughter loves, maybe every father will be jealous, and then worry, wishing to tie that brat to the execution rack for a good torture, and then ask him to give the maximum guarantee.
But her precious daughter has already stood on the side of others.
What's special about Cen Qishan is that he seems not even qualified to be jealous.
"Brat Xu... What the hell are you doing? My family, Xiyu, isn't good enough?...Looking at the past, it seems that I should have a drink with you, but now, it seems that I should beat you up. If the problem troubles you, Xi The rain must never end with me, I am afraid that we will really become enemies. What should we do now?"
Cen Qishan was immersed in the emotions of a father, entangled and happy.
The bodyguard and personal assistant came up and said, "Mr. Kasai, it's time for us to go to the airport."
…
Apple called Xu Tingsheng, suppressed his tears and said, "Can I come to Yanzhou? Will it affect you? I will leave after two days and go back to Libei to accompany my mother."
Xu Tingsheng said, "No, you come."
Huang Yaming drove Apple back to Yanzhou.
When Xu Tingsheng rushed back to the riverside residence, Fang Cheng, Lu Zhixin, and Yu Qing were all sitting on the sofa.
"Where's Apple?" Xu Tingsheng asked.
Apple came out of the bathroom, holding a shirt of Xu Tingsheng in his hand, and said, "I'm doing your laundry for you."
