Ms. Xia was wearing casual clothes. She looked at Wells. People make their first impression by sight. The first thing you look at is appearance, and only then can you see the inside of a person.
Ms. Xia looked at Wells' appearance and found that his appearance and figure were pretty good. Judging from his actions when he entered the door just now, he was also very attentive to Tang Tiantian.
But Ms. Xia did not take sides because of this. She always looked at people from an objective perspective. Ms. Xia touched her collar and did not let the scene fall into a stiff atmosphere.
"We are about to have dinner, and there is still a soup that is not ready yet. Let's sit down and eat together later."
"Thank you, Mom." Tang Tiantian said first.
"Okay, Aunt Tang." Wells' attitude was respectful and modest.
Ms. Xia nodded and asked them to sit down in the living room.
Ms. Xia went to the kitchen to check the fire, and Tang's father watched Wells sit down on the sofa with Tang Tiantian.
The most direct manifestation of a person's self-cultivation is often the details. Wells not only paid attention to etiquette, but also took good care of Tang Tiantian.
Father Tang observed carefully, and Ms. Xia happened to walk over and asked, "Have you lived in country Y since you were a child?"
Wells replied, "Yes, most of my family is from country y, and some of them later immigrated to other countries, but the family's core industry remains in country y."
Ms. Xia sat down opposite them and asked carefully, "So you must have quite a few brothers and sisters in your family."
"I have a brother and two sisters."
"You have lived in country y since you were a child, how come you came to country z?"
Wells replied sternly, "I am taking care of the family business now, and I need to have some trade relations with City A."
"Looking at it this way, you are a businessman." Ms. Xia had a general understanding of Wells.
"You can say that." Wells nodded.
He and Tang Tiantian were sitting side by side. Ms. Xia looked at this man and saw that he did not show any superiority or arrogance. Ms. Xia had met many people and knew that some men would look down on women because of career inequality.
"You should know where Tiantian works, right?"
"Yes, I have been to the hospital where Tiantian works."
Wells did not mention that the hospital was run by his friend, and Ms. Xia also respected Tang Tiantian's choice from his tone.
Tang Tiantian listened to Ms. Xia calmly ask so many questions. Even though Wells must have been calm, she couldn't help but sweat.
Father Tang nodded beside him. Although he didn't say much, he seemed quite satisfied.
"Let's go eat first." Tang's father didn't put too much pressure on his daughter.
Ms. Xia thought for a moment, and it seemed that there was no problem. She was going to the kitchen. As soon as she got up, she suddenly thought of something. She turned to Tang Tiantian who wanted to relax and asked, "Tiantian, you lived outside some time ago."
, I had something to do and didn’t go home for dinner the past two days. Was it because I was with Wells?"
"Mom," Tang Tiantian moved her lips and her tongue became a little stiff, "the situation has been a bit complicated these few times."
"Why is it complicated?" Ms. Xia didn't have an unhappy expression on her face. She just wanted to ask clearly, "You can talk to your mother."
Tang Tiantian opened her mouth, but naturally couldn't speak. She couldn't guarantee that her mother wouldn't be angry after saying those words.
"Mom, it was me at that time..."
"Auntie," Wells suddenly spoke for Tang Tiantian. He took over Tang Tiantian's words. He could tell that Tang Tiantian wanted to take over him. Wells would not sit idly by. He was
They are not ambiguous about their feelings, "Tiantian was indeed with me at the time you mentioned. I went to find her."
"What did you do?"
ah?
Tang Tiantian was stunned for a moment, and then her face instantly turned red.
Do you want to ask so directly?
Even if I ask, I can't tell.
Tang Tiantian's palms tightened, and Wells felt that she was sweating.
Tang Tiantian bit her lip and did not answer. Ms. Xia had no intention of letting it go. She was no exception and would never be vague about anything that should be asked clearly. Of course, she would not wrongly accuse someone without judging. What is the result?
, she has her own considerations.
Tang Tiantian refused to say anything, so Ms. Xia waited.
Tang's father looked at the two of them, coughed twice, and then asked, "You guys just dated, right?"
"Yes." Wells said.
Ms. Xia saw Tang Tiantian's reaction in her eyes, and her heart was like a mirror. When could her daughter's little expressions escape her eyes?
I'm afraid Tiantian did everything she had to do, and Ms. Xia didn't show any anger.
Her mood was very calm, but this time her attitude was clearer and her words were even less leeway, "You want to talk about boyfriend and girlfriend with Tiantian, I don't agree."
"mom!"
"Honey, isn't this the first time we've met?" Tang's father said, but even though he said this, his face was not relaxed at all.
It was really inappropriate for Tang Tiantian to live directly in Wells's villa during that time. Although they were not a famous family, they were not a small family either. After all, the social status of the two elders of the Tang family in City A was there. Tang Tiantian
It's okay if you don't like the person you're dating, but living with someone directly is nonsense.
Some things have become facts and no one can change them. Ms. Xia understands this truth, but her objection is not against their feelings, but to prevent Tang Tiantian from making mistakes on issues of principle.
If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. There is no room for negotiation.
Tang Tiantian nervously held Wells' hand, feeling as if a stone had been pressed into her heart, "Mom, I must be with Wells. It's the same if you don't agree."
It was rare for Tang Tiantian to speak in such a firm tone for Wells.
Ms. Xia looked at Wells.
"Uncle and aunt, I took the liberty of coming to visit you today. I want to make it clear to you that I love Tiantian and really like her."
Ms. Xia asked bluntly, "Have you ever considered getting married?"
She has no ill intentions, and I believe Wells can also feel this. But Ms. Xia's attitude is also very firm. She and Tang Tiantian are indeed mother and daughter.
Tang's father didn't want to ask the question the first time they met, but Ms. Xia couldn't get the sand out of her eyes.
It's better to ask some questions earlier, so as not to blame each other later, which will only break Tang Tiantian's heart.
"Ever thought about it?"
To be honest, Tang Tiantian had never thought about it. She just wanted to be with Wells. Although Wells had mentioned taking her back to Country Y to meet his family, it had not yet involved marriage.
"Mom, I'm still young, why do I need to get married so early?" Tang Tiantian really wanted to win back the victory.
Acting like a baby didn't work anymore, Ms. Xia just pretended not to notice.
"You are not young anymore. Now that you have a boyfriend, you also need to consider marriage issues."
"Mom, we will definitely consider it."
Tang Tiantian opened her mouth slightly, but what Ms. Xia said made sense.
Ms. Xia's words are here, and they cannot be changed even for a moment.
"Uncle and aunt, don't worry. I will marry Tiantian in the future. I came today because I hope you can understand my feelings and I won't be a little ambiguous about my relationship with Tiantian."
Father Tang's hands were clasped together and his index fingers were pointing back and forth. He raised his eyes and looked at Wells, who spoke seriously and sincerely.
When it comes to Tang Tiantian's relationship issues, Tang's father only hopes that Tang Tiantian can be happy, and his eyebrows are loosened.
Ms. Xia did not let go, but she no longer dwelled on this issue, "Don't you want to eat? Come and eat first."
Tang Tiantian took advantage of Ms. Xia's getting up and immediately approached Father Tang.
"dad……"
Tang Tiantian acted coquettishly in a low voice. This trick was the most effective for dad.
Tang Tiantian shook her father's arm, and Father Tang's body almost swayed too.
"What a shame." Father Tang whispered, but he didn't look angry at all. Instead, he was a little funny.
Tang Tiantian felt relieved and smiled. No matter how many opinions Tang's father had, he couldn't embarrass them anymore.
"Dad, you are my biological father. Please help me praise Wells in front of my mother."
"If he is good enough
, do you still need to be praised?" Although Tang's father said this, he was still optimistic about Wells' character.
Tang Tiantian hugged her father's arm even harder. This was her rescuer. "Wells has no shortcomings at all. You will definitely know it in the future. It's just that no matter how perfect a person is, after going through Ms. Xia's test,
It’s not easy either.”
Tang Tiantian sighed in a low voice, and Tang's father pinched the tip of her nose, "I can't control your mother. Can you agree? I won't give you a guarantee."
"Dad, you are the best!" Tang Tiantian was excited and hugged Tang's father.
During the meal, Tang Tiantian and Wells sat side by side. Ms. Xia looked at them. They did not do anything out of line.
After dinner, Ms. Xia brought a glass of honey water to Tang Tiantian and talked to her daughter, "Why don't you go to work and come here for dinner at noon?"
"I miss you and dad. I want to eat the food you cooked." Tang Tiantian took a sip of water and when she was about to put the water glass back, her wrist suddenly shook.
Tang Tiantian held her slightly trembling wrist with her other hand. It only happened for a moment, but it was still seen by Wells who was not far away.
Wells was in the living room. When he saw Tang Tiantian's slightly changed expression, his eyes moved and he immediately got up and walked over.
"Tiantian. Auntie." Wells looked at Ms. Xia again.
Seeing that Wells was so nervous, Ms. Xia didn't think much about it for a moment. She took Tang Tiantian's hand and said, "Come back to the room with me to find some clothes to change into. You can't go to work like this."
Tang Tiantian's collar was sprinkled with honey water, making it wet.
"Your daughter is so excited to taste Ms. Xia's exquisite specialties again."
Ms. Xia curled her lips and said, "Young poor man."
Tang Tiantian touched the tip of her nose and curled her eyes. Then she saw Wells, and her heart moved slightly. Tang Tiantian put the water glass back with some difficulty.
Wells immediately understood the meaning of this glance. Tang Tiantian told him not to worry.
Ms. Xia found the clothes that Tang Tiantian had left at home, and Tang Tiantian put them on. While changing clothes, she took a closer look at her parents' room. Everything was as usual. Fortunately, nothing happened at home, and Tang Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief.
, Ms. Xia didn’t know that she was always on tenterhooks on the way here.
Tang Tiantian didn't want to mention staying overnight when she came back this time. She had her own apartment and wouldn't go back. If Ms. Xia casually interrogated her, she would be exposed.
Tang Tiantian had to be on duty in the afternoon. She came here at noon because she was afraid that the people who targeted her would also find her parents' house. Those people could target her, but they could never touch her parents.
The two of them left the bedroom, and Wells was waiting for them in the living room.
When Wells saw the door open, he immediately looked at Tang Tiantian.
Ms. Xia noticed Wells's gaze, and she wondered if she had seen it wrong. In addition to the usual politeness in Wells's eyes, there seemed to be a trace of worry.
Tang Tiantian walked towards Wells and said in a normal tone, "Mom, Dad, I'm going to work."
Tang Tiantian went out with Wells. Her fingers were a little numb, so Wells reached out and pressed the elevator button for her.
Tang Tiantian was glad that he could be by her side, otherwise she would really not be able to survive.
Ms. Xia came out to take them to the elevator, but the elevator still didn't arrive. Wells said goodbye to the two elders politely, and Tang Tiantian entered the elevator and waved to her mother.
The elevator door closed, Tang Tiantian's smile faded, her hand suddenly dropped to the side and hit the handrail in the elevator. Wells reacted faster than Tang Tiantian, strode forward and caught it with both arms.
Got her.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Wells said in a serious tone.
Tang Tiantian's heartbeat was erratic. She was supported by Wells for most of her body, and she could barely stand on her feet. Wells lowered his head, with a stern look in his eyes, "That medicine..."
"That anesthetic is really scary..." Tang Tiantian covered her heart and felt difficulty breathing. It was not a simple anesthetic. It seemed to have a lasting impact on people's mental system. Tang Tiantian couldn't say for sure.
It cannot be related to the fact that she injected herself with drugs to slow down the anesthesia last night.
"Wait, wait and see." Tang Tiantian lowered her voice, fearing that people outside the elevator could hear her.
Wells pressed the number 1, and the elevator slowly began to descend. Tang Tiantian took a deep breath and held on to his sleeves.
