Chapter 159 A talk by the river

The luxury of the Hua family's mansion is not inferior to Xu Shu's villa. When I walked into the living room, I met the legendary living Bodhisattva, Hua Jingjing's grandmother. Under Hua Jingjing's introduction, I paid homage to her family.

Jingjing's grandmother is about seventy years old. Her years of practice in Buddhism made her look solemn and kind. She just had a bald head that looked strange. The old man was very kind, and a few words made people feel involuntarily close to her. I was very respectful and humble to her, and I was grateful, and I said and expressed my gratitude.

Hua Qiming won’t talk about him anymore. Jingjing’s mother is a middle-aged lady in her forties, and her appearance is vaguely similar to Jingjing. She is with her mother and asks me some questions in a row.

I also met Jingjing's brother and her cousin Liu Qing, but they were all around Xu Shu. After all, the charm of a star is huge.

During the meal, Jingjing sat next to me, and she was the happiest person on the table. At the gesture of Grandma Jingjing, Hua Qiming picked up the wine glass and formally apologized to me. Although he was the person I hated the most, who called him Jingjing's father, so I still drank this glass of wine. But my attitude was still cold and I didn't say anything polite.

After the meal, Jingjing's grandmother summoned Jingjing and I into the study room. The old man said to me kindly: "Xiao Tang, I appreciate your character very much. I feel relieved to leave Jingjing to you. But although Jingjing's father has nothing to say now, I know that he is extremely unhappy. In a hundred years, you must be mentally prepared for him to treat you badly."

I said, "Don't say that, I'm very happy to get Jingjing. No matter how difficult the others are, I will bear it with a smile."

Grandma nodded and said, "I'm very happy that you can think of this." She said, hugging Jingjing and touched her hair lovingly. Hua Jingjing first shouted arrogantly: "Grandma!" Then she leaned in her arms, looking at me happily with her big and lively eyes.

Grandma said again: "Xiao Tang, I am just such a precious granddaughter. After I hand her over to you, if you want to treat her badly, don't blame me for turning against me!"

I hurriedly said, "Please rest assured, old man, I love Jingjing more than I love myself. How could I treat her badly? I will do my best to make Jingjing happy."

Hua Jingjing also twisted her body in her grandmother's arms and said unyieldingly: "Grandma! Tang Qian doesn't know how to do it, don't scare him!" Grandma laughed, reached out to pinch Jingjing's nose, and said, "I just gave him a vaccination. You don't know this anymore. She is really an extrovert."

Hua Jingjing had no choice but to act coquettishly and shouted: "Grandma, you bully me!"

Grandma laughed for a while and said to me again: "Xiao Tang, although I have handed over Jingjing to you, her studies cannot be terminated. I think I will find a good day to settle your marriage first. Three years later, Jingjing will come back from her degree and you can get married. You have to work harder in the past three years. Once you have achieved success in your career, Jingjing's father will not underestimate you."

I said respectfully: "Please rest assured, old man, I will definitely not let you down."

Grandma nodded and said, "I won't say much else, just go out. Jingjing, go call your flower-like classmate in. I have been a monk for twelve years, and even the junior sisters in the temple are familiar with her name. Does your brother like her very much? Haha!"

Hua Jingjing smiled and said, "Grandma, you can see this too? Have you really become a Buddha?"

Grandma smiled and said, "Go! I'm here to worry about you this time. The old lady has not yet pure six senses, so what kind of Buddha will she become?" Hua Jingjing smiled, took my hand, and said, "Tang Qian, let's go out, my grandma wants to match another couple."

I said oh, walked out of the study with her, and saw Xu Shu and Jingjing's brother sitting together and having a good chat. I felt sad for no reason in my heart, and I turned my head and refused to look at them.

Jingjing let go of my hand, ran to Xu Shu with a smile, and muttered in her ear. Xu Shu immediately turned red and she reached out to hit Jing Jing.

I saw Xu Xin and Liu Qing missing in the living room, and I didn’t know where they went. Xu Shu stood up and hurried into the study. Jingjing sat next to her brother and said something to him in a low voice. I felt bored for a moment, so I walked out of the living room and stared at a big fountain outside in a daze.

Actually, I don’t know what to think about, I just feel very empty in my heart. There is a kind of empty in my heart that I have gained something and lost something at the same time.

"Mr. Tang!"

I turned around and saw that Hua Qiming had stood beside me at some point. He was sucking a cigar and looked at me and said, "If you don't mind, let's go?"

I was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he wanted to say to me. But he was Jingjing's father, and I couldn't avoid him. So I nodded and said, "Okay!"

Hua Qiming and I walked slowly by the river. After a long time, he finally spoke again: "Mr. Tang, I actually knew you very early. I knew that Jingjing spent a lot of money for you for a while. Out of loving my daughter, I investigated you and found that you had another girlfriend while dating my daughter. And..." As he said that, he stopped and stared at me and said: "You are still not clear about your former boss Gu Ruoyan in the company. You have spent the night at her house many times. Are these facts I said?"

I was stunned. Although what Hua Qiming said was true, the whole story could not be explained in one or two sentences. And only the person involved understood the truth. It seems that others have an ambiguous relationship with multiple women.

I began to understand a little bit why Hua Qiming hated me so much. I said, "Mr. Hua, you don't have the right to investigate other people's secrets, and the truth is not what you think."

Hua Qiming took a sip of the cigar and threw the rest into the river. He said, "If it were me, I believe you would have done this too. As a father in the world, how can anyone not care about his daughter? Do you think so?"

I was silent for a while and nodded.

Hua Qiming said again: "So I have always thought you are a pornographic stick who deceives women, and I think your motivation for dating my daughter is impure, and I have never had a good impression of you!"

I sneered, "Do you think I'm approaching your daughter just to get your property?"

Hua Qiming said: "What do you think?"

I said, "I'm not interested in your stinky money at all!"

"Well, I know now! Although you play with women, you still have some ambitions."

I'm speechless!

Hua Qiming said again: "As a man, I understand that you love playing with women! But as a father, I can't tolerate it. At first I didn't want to interfere with my daughter's private life. The money she spent on you was just a drizzle to me, and I didn't care at all. I thought that no matter how stupid my daughter was, she would hold on to the final bottom line. Just like when she was in college in the United States, the foreigner was so outstanding and passionate, my daughter still cherished herself and did not hand over herself easily."

Hua Qiming sighed and looked at Yudaijiang and said, "And I have confidence in my daughter. She will sooner or later see the scheming man like you who is on several boats. In addition, during that time, something big happened to my European branch, and I rushed to deal with it, so I didn't have time to stop you. But... I still underestimated you! I just came back and knew that my daughter was played by you. At that time, my European branch collapsed and lost nearly 300 million euros. I was stimulated again and got angry. I admit that I was indeed very irrational at that time and I was a little cruel to you. If you hate me, I have nothing to say. I just hope that this kind of hate will involve my daughter, she is innocent."

I sneered and said, "I will never forgive you! But you can rest assured to Jingjing. I am not as irrelevant as you, and I love to anger others! You can be cruel to me, but how can you be cruel to your own daughter to torture her like this? What's wrong with Jingjing? You put her under house arrest for a long time and restrict her freedom in life. Why can't you feel that you care about your daughter at all?"

Hua Qiming was stunned for a moment and said, "Maybe... I love you so much, and I hated you deeply! She loves you so much, and she went on a hunger strike for you. I... am jealous! And I always think that I am right. My daughter and I made a three-year vow not to let you meet. I think you, a promiscuous man, will never wait for my daughter for three years. By then, you will have a new love long ago. I don't need me to say that my daughter will recognize you. Then my hard work is not in vain!"

I said, "Since that's the case, why don't you continue to stop us now?"

Hua Qiming smiled, then he took out a cigar from his pocket and asked me: "I really don't play one? I know you were addicted to smoking before."

I shook my head and said, "No! My quitting smoking is the only benefit you have brought to me. Don't you want to take back this benefit?"

Hua Qiming smiled bitterly, took out the lighter and lit the cigar, took a deep breath, and said, "Actually, I regretted it a long time ago. I felt really heartbroken when I saw my daughter getting thinner because she missed you. So I turned a blind eye to your secret communication, just because I couldn't pull my old face down and refused to admit my mistakes. Moreover, I have been secretly observing you for the past six months, and found that you suddenly cut off your contacts with all women and devoted yourself to your work. I am still impressed by your achievements now. Ye Jianxiang Tea Drink does have a unique taste. I tried you the last time and truly understood that you are still honest. A man who refuses to betray your conscience and friends is a real man. Compared to your fickleness, this is the character I appreciate. As long as you don't mess with relationships with men and women from now on, and treat my daughter wholeheartedly, I will not stop you."

I said seriously: "I have never messed with men and women. The only woman I have ever had is your daughter!"

"Is that?" Hua Qiming smiled and said, "Everyone is all men, there is no need to say nonsense! Whether you admit it or not. Anyway, it's all the past. Jingjing's grandmother comes back, just an opportunity to give me a step. Otherwise, Jingjing is my biological daughter. If I don't agree, it will be useless for anyone to interfere. The reason why I handed my daughter over to you is that I recognize your character and achievements. Second, I believe you are sincere to my daughter. There are few men in the world who will not give up love under the temptation of huge money. I couldn't do it back then, but you did it. Although I beat you, I actually admire you very much."

Hua Qiming threw away the cigar again and said to me: "I have seen many open and secret fights in the mall, and are intrigues, so I have always been merciless to the enemy and the opponent. Due to habits, I have not treated you kindly. But a real man is clear about his grudges. If he does something wrong, he is wrong. I will not ask for your forgiveness. As long as you are kind to my daughter, I don't care if you take revenge on me!"

I straightened my chest and said, "A real man must be clear about his grudges, but he must be clear about right and wrong! Of course I will not forgive you, but you are Jingjing's father, and I will not make Jingjing embarrassed. In the future, if I become your son-in-law, I will not call you dad. Even if you give me a face, I can't do it!"

Hua Qiming laughed and said, "You boy! Then I won't call you son-in-law, just call you boy!"

I said unwillingly: "Then I will call you old man!"

Hua Qiming smiled and said, "It doesn't matter! Old man, just old man! Boy, let's go back. When they saw that we were missing for so long, they wouldn't think we were going to fight? Haha!"

My self-reconciliation attitude towards Old Man Hua made me laugh and cry, so I had to follow him back. After walking a few steps, I saw Jingjing coming hurriedly and shouted from afar: "Dad! Tang Qian! What are you doing?"

Jingjing ran to us and looked at us with a worried look on her face. Old Man Hua smiled and reached out to hug her, saying, "Tang Qian and I practiced some fists and feet by the river. Alas! I'm old and useless!"

When Hua Jingjing heard this, she hurriedly shouted to me: "Tang Qian! How could you beat my dad? You promised me not to take revenge, you... don't keep your words!"

I sighed in my heart. Judging from this situation, my previous beating was really in vain! There is no hope of revenge in this life. However, in exchange for the final consent of Jingjing's family, there is no regret. Although Old Man Hua is hateful, he is Jingjing's father after all. What else can I do to him?

Besides, Old Man Hua is worthy of being an old fox. After saying something by the river, I almost made me forgive him. It seems that Jiang is really old! Alas! Forget it! Men are a little more arrogant. For Jingjing, just pretend that it has never happened!

I also smiled and said, "Where is it! In fact, your father beat me up again! My grudge against him is getting deeper!"
