Tian Shao answered the phone and heard Bai Churong's voice: "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"
"Okay, I will tell Tan Yue. Don't worry, I will let him stay at home and wait for the old man tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Tian Shao walked out of the study and said to Tan Yue who was working in the yard: "My sister-in-law called just now and said that the old man will be here tomorrow morning. Tan Yue, please take the morning off tomorrow!"
Tian Shao originally planned to come back on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, so Tan Yue took 20 days off, and then when his wife was preparing to hold a wedding banquet during the holiday. This time, Tian Shao didn't need to remind him, he applied for it himself.
Liao Buda knew about this a long time ago and approved it as soon as it was presented to him.
Tan Yue frowned and said: "You don't need to ask for a morning, two hours is enough."
You must meet him. If the old man is willing to bow his head, then wait at home. But if you don't give him a satisfactory answer, don't blame him for being offensive.
Tian Shao held his hand and said with a smile: "As long as I'm here, I won't let him hurt you anymore."
Mr. Tan hurt Tan Yue more than Pei Xuehai. And this was the real reason why she insisted that Mr. Tan apologize to Tan Yue.
"Don't worry, no one can hurt me anymore."
Mr. Hu came over and saw the two of them holding hands and leaning together. He couldn't help coughing and said, "If you want to be tired, go back to the house. There are so many people watching!"
Tian Shao didn't think this was a problem at all, so he held hands: "My sister-in-law called me just now and said that my father-in-law is coming tomorrow. Old man, you are well-informed. You can play chess with my father-in-law tomorrow and talk."
Mr. Hu said with a look of disgust: "I won't play chess with him."
He already knew about the Tan family from Sanya. Of course, the details were not clear. It was just that he had never seen anything at his age. It must be that the wife of Gu Nian, whose surname was Tan, was not happy with having multiple stepsons, so he did not
Acknowledge him, and now he wants someone to go back after seeing the future of the child. He doesn't want such a person.
Tian Shao said it casually and did not force him.
At around eight o'clock the next day, Tan Xingguo came over with Mr. Tan.
This was the first time Tian Shao saw him. He was very thin, and his face was full of wrinkles and age spots. His health was also really bad, and he couldn't even cross the threshold, so Tan Xingguo helped him to step in.
When Tan Yue saw him, he stood still.
Tian Shao pulled him down, and then welcomed the two of them into the west wing with a smile on his face, which was the living room. There were Yishui mahogany furniture, and the decoration was done by Tian Shao himself.
.As soon as you walk in, the antique style is pleasing to the eye.
Entering the house, Mr. Tan looked at the various ornaments placed on the antique shelf by the window and asked: "Are these old objects you collected?"
He had long known that Tian Shao was collecting antiques, and even now asked someone to collect them privately. These things are national treasures, and it is better for her to collect them than to be sold abroad. But now it seems that Tian Shao is afraid of being deceived.
Already.
Tian Shao nodded and said, "Yes, I found someone to collect these."
The old man took a copper stove ornament from the shelf and said: "The quality and workmanship make it look like something from modern times, not an old thing."
Tian Shao was very surprised and asked: "Dad, do you still know about antiques?"
Mr. Tan shook his head and said: "I don't understand, but I have seen some copper furnaces from the Yuan and Ming dynasties. The workmanship is completely different from this one. Those two copper furnaces give people a heavy feeling."
Tian Shao praised: "My father-in-law has really good eyesight. This copper stove is from the Republic of China period. Not only this copper stove, but also the ornaments in my house are all handicrafts."
In fact, there is nothing wrong with displaying ordinary antiques. It’s just that Tian Shao felt that they should be more low-key, so the ones displayed were imitations or handicrafts that were not worth much. Of course, after more than thirty years, these things can be used no matter what.
Worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.
Mr. Tan nodded and said, "Your house is well decorated and has that charm."
Tian Shao heard Bai Churong say that the old man had to avoid many things, so he didn't dare to serve him tea or juice, so he brought him a glass of boiled water. As for the others, all of them received boiled water equally.
Tan Yue said in a deep voice: "If you have anything to say, just say it, I still have to go to work."
As soon as these words were spoken, the room instantly became quiet.
Mr. Tan put down the cup and looked at Tan Yue with a calm expression: "Do you hate me?"
Tan Yue said expressionlessly: "I don't hate you. I just don't understand why you came here again now that you didn't want to recognize me. In fact, it would be better for everyone if you thought I was dead."
Mr. Tan knew that he had grievances against him, but he didn't expect that he still harbored hatred: "After I confirmed your identity, I told your mother immediately. But the situation at that time, no one could predict what would happen tomorrow."
If you admit it, if I get involved, you will be implicated."
He also weighed it carefully before deciding not to admit it.
Tan Yue sneered and said, "It's not that that woman was causing trouble. You thought I was enjoying my life at the Pei family and didn't want to pick peaches, so you didn't recognize me."
Mr. Tan sighed and said: "This is just a random excuse. If something happens, your eldest and second brothers will not be able to avoid it, but as long as I deny you, you will not be implicated. Third brother, then
You should be very clear about what the situation was like."
Tan Yue thought about the situation nine years ago and said no more.
Tian Shao asked, "If something happens to Tan Yue and it will affect him, you can tell him! It's not convenient to meet, so you can write a letter or ask Uncle Liao to tell him!"
Mr. Tan shook his head and said: "If he were like this now, I would definitely tell him. But nine years ago he was impulsive, irritable and could not hold his breath. He would not hide his life experience if he knew it."
Tan Yue did not refute. Not refuting was actually acquiescence.
Tian Shao asked: "But Qu Yan already knows his identity. If something happened to you, do you think he wouldn't bite Tan Yue out?"
"She wouldn't dare."
I mean I don't dare, not that I won't.
If this is the case, it is understandable why they did not recognize each other at the beginning. Tian Shao said: "But after the college entrance examination resumed, the situation has improved. Why don't you recognize Tan Yue?"
Mr. Tan was silent for a moment and said, "I wanted him to discover the problem himself and pursue it, but he didn't make any move. I thought he had no suspicion."
He was actually disappointed at the time. He felt that Tan Yue was too insensitive. He didn't suspect that so many things happened. But he didn't expect that his son was smarter than he thought. Tan Yue investigated when he had no time to think about it.
He inferred his own life experience.
Tian Shao looked at him and continued to ask unforgivingly: "Then why didn't you explain to Tan Yue at the beginning? If you had explained clearly from the beginning, the eldest brother and the second brother would not have been in such a dilemma."
These words stopped Mr. Tan from questioning. At that time, he felt that I could not bow down to my son. He felt that his dignity had been seriously challenged, so he did not want to explain.
Tan Xingguo secretly thought that only Tian Shao dared to question the old man like this. He didn't have the courage.
