"Alocasia, say hello!" Tang Xuyao pulled her hand, his eyes full of tenderness, and whispered into her ear, "Call me brother and sister-in-law."
Xia Haiyu pursed her lips and shouted shyly, "Brother, sister-in-law."
The moment he finished speaking, he raised his head with a bright smile on his face.
Tang Xudong and Zhao Zhiyao froze at the same time, the last bit of hope in their hearts shattered.
is her!
It’s really her!
The couple nodded towards Xia Haiyu together, but the smiles at the corners of their mouths were a little stiff.
God’s will plays tricks on people!
Because Xia Haitao was nervous, she was completely unaware of the strangeness between Tang Xudong and Zhao Zhiyao, but Tang Xuyao keenly noticed something was wrong, but couldn't figure out why.
It stands to reason that this is the first time for the eldest brother and sister-in-law to see Alocasia, why do they seem so surprised?!
The baby's cry interrupted the four adults' thoughts. Zhao Zhiyao quickly ran to the room, "Sorry, I'll go see Xue'er first!"
Cher?!
Xia Haiyu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Tang Xudong smiled warmly, "Want to see the baby?!"
Xia Haitao was simply flattered, nodded vigorously, and then, with permission, ran into the children's room after Zhao Zhiyao.
Only Tang Xudong and Tang Xuyao were left, and there was no need for the brothers to hide each other. Tang Xudong asked straight to the point, "Yao, are you sure it's her?!"
"Well!" Tang Xuyao nodded, then raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother, have you and your sister-in-law seen calla lilies before?!"
"No. But I know her."
"Oh?!" Tang Xuyao was even more surprised.
Tang Xudong did not intend to hide it, "Five years ago, her parents' car accident case caused a sensation in the industry. At that time, no lawyer in city T was willing to take over and help her fight the lawsuit."
At this point, Tang Xuyao directly stated his purpose of coming, "Brother, actually I brought Alocasia here this time because of her parents' case. Can you help her reverse the case?!"
Tang Xudong shook his head decisively, "If I could, I would have done it five years ago."
"Brother, just think of it as helping me!"
Tang Xudong still shook his head, "If I can help, I will definitely help. But there is really no way to do this."
"But this matter is very important to Alocasia. Her parents were rear-ended, causing the car accident. The perpetrator escaped without telling anyone, and in turn, blamed them entirely. This is unfair!"
Tang Xudong sighed softly, "Yao, this world is only relatively fair, there is no absolute! You should understand this truth in these years in the mall! Don't be carried away by emotions!"
"..." Tang Xuyao paused, and was surprised to realize that he had indeed been impulsive. Yes, he understood the reality of this world very well, but he really hoped to help her.
"Brother, the statute of limitations for this case has not expired yet. Can you help me and do your best?!"
"I'll try." Tang Xudong said conservatively.
Tang Xuyao patted his brother on the shoulder, "I knew you would agree!"
"I just said try it." Tang Xudong reiterated again.
"Okay, I know your ability. Your success rate is 99%!" Tang Xuyao smiled slowly and couldn't wait to tell Xia Haiyu the good news.
Due to the long-distance flight, Tang Xuyao and Xia Haitao were both a little tired. Coupled with the jet lag, they were both very tired. After a simple wash, they ate some snacks prepared by Zhao Zhiyao and then fell asleep in the guest room. The villa's
In the master bedroom, Tang Xudong and Zhao Zhiyao, who had also woken up early, were completely sleepless.
On the double bed, Zhao Zhiyao snuggled gently against her husband and asked softly, "Axu, what are you going to do? Do you really want to help Alocasia reverse the case?!"
"Don't be stupid. That case has been settled long ago. I'm just saying that to comfort people."
"Axu...you must be feeling sad..."
"It's useless to be sad. Who said the person responsible for the car accident was our grandfather!"
The truth is this.
Five years ago, the perpetrator of the car accident was the old man of the Tang family.
That day, the driver of the Tang family was admitted to the hospital due to acute appendicitis while driving. Originally, another driver would come to contact him, but Mr. Tang had to rush to attend a business celebration, so he drove the car himself out of desperation.
You must know that at that time, Mr. Tang had stopped driving for many years, so the accident was not an accident.
What I didn't expect was that the consequences would be so serious.
The car that was rear-ended rushed directly off the viaduct, exploded and fell into the sea, leaving no trace of its body.
Mr. Tang was also injured, so he was naturally quite frightened. But after all, he was a man who had dominated shopping malls all his life. After the accident, he was still able to remain calm and escape successfully.
It is difficult to cover up the truth of the car accident, but for the Tang family, it is not too difficult.
The driver of the Tang family took the blame, and the Tang family paid a large sum of money to compensate the family of the deceased. However, Xia Haiyu, who was only 15 years old, resolutely refused and even filed a lawsuit.
Trouble is coming!
Following the established legal procedures means that there are too many possibilities for the truth of the matter to be exposed. You must know that there will be many lawyers who are just starting out who want to become famous by challenging authority. Therefore, Mr. Tang also began to worry.
However, he still has one last chess piece, and that is Tang Xudong.
A grandson would never take his grandfather to court with his own hands, not to mention that this grandson was raised by himself!
Mr. Tang told Tang Xudong the entire truth about the car accident, and asked him to conceal it for him, and even asked him to handle all litigation matters for him.
Tang Xudong has always known that his grandfather would do anything for profit, but he never imagined that he could even waste human life!
However, he could not confront his grandfather, and his marriage to Zhiyao was being blocked, so he took the opportunity to put forward the conditions for leaving the Tang family.
Of course, his request aroused Mr. Tang's rage, but the two parties finally reached an agreement.
Five years have passed, and Tang Xudong has not forgotten this incident, but he never thought that Xia Haiyu would appear in front of him in such an identity five years later.
It's scary to think about it. How can she and Tang Xuyao have a future?!
