famous first flash marriage

Seeing her strange expression, Pei Yuancheng asked, "What's wrong?"

Tang Xiao pursed his lips, exhaled helplessly, and smiled very quickly at Pei Yuancheng: "It's okay."

She looked like this, obviously something happened.

Pei Yuancheng didn't ask further, because Tang Xiao lowered his head to answer the phone, and quickly adjusted to a slightly tense state.

"Auntie, what's the matter?"

"Smile, that's right. Your father's birthday is coming soon. We plan to hold a birthday party for relatives and friends to gather together. Come back when the time comes! Be with Reiko."

Li Yan's voice was full of laughter, which sounded kind and friendly, making it impossible to refuse.

Tang Xiao frowned, clutching the phone tightly with his fingers, but his tone was very polite: "I'm sorry, my husband is on a business trip."

"Oh... what a coincidence?"

Li Yan obviously didn't believe it.

Tang Xiao frowned even tighter.

Just when I was about to say something, I heard Li Yan say: "You don't remember your dad's birthday, right? Your dad's birthday is next Sunday, and it's still a week away. Retsuko will definitely be back by then, right? Take him with you Come home, your room has been tidied up at home, you two will stay at home for one night, and spend time with your father, your father is not young anymore, he is already 55, and he is not in good health... "

Tang Xiao was irritated when he heard it, and only felt his temples throbbing.

The mobile phone in her hand was very hot, and she couldn't hold it if she didn't use some strength.

This Li Yan...

How can you pretend that none of those things happened before?

How can people be so hypocritical?
She can accept Tang Mi now, but it doesn't mean she can accept Li Yan completely.

It doesn't even mean that she can act as a harmonious family with Tang Zhentian and Li Yan as if nothing had happened.

She doesn't want to.

Back then, Tang Zhentian drove her out of the house himself.

How much did Li Yan gloat at that time?
Did any of them ever keep her?
No.

So, why let her go home now, and bring Cheng Lie with her?
After all, she is also Ben San's person, doesn't she know why they asked her to take Cheng Lie back to attend Tang Zhentian's birthday banquet?
Ah……

If Cheng Lie was an ordinary salaryman, Tang Zhentian and Li Yan would never remember her as a daughter no matter what.

"He won't be back next week."

Tang Xiao was really impatient to continue listening. Li Yan's artificial voice made her feel uncomfortable.

"...Huh? Won't you come back?"

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, as if she had adjusted her emotions, and then said in a soft voice with a smile: "That's okay, why don't you and your father postpone the birthday party by a week? It's not in a hurry anyway. Well... the most important thing is that our family can be reunited and happy..."

Tang Xiao thought to himself, who will reunite with your family happily?

What face does a young man who destroys other people's families have to say such things?

She is very gentle on weekdays, she doesn't care too much about anything, and she doesn't take it too seriously, but Li Yan can always arouse her temper.

"He won't be back next week."

This is the truth.

It's just that Li Yan didn't believe what Tang Xiao said.

"What? You won't be back next week?"

Li Yan said something in great surprise, paused, and said to Tang Xiao earnestly: "Xiaoxiao, I know, there was a little conflict between you and your father before, but look, it's been so long, Your father is getting older and his body is not as good as before. Can't you let your father go? It's a rare birthday for him. You come back to be with him. Even if you don't talk to him, your father sees you and Retsuko Standing together with a handsome man and a beautiful woman, his mood will be better, his mood will be better, and his body will also be better. You must also hope that your father will be healthy and live a long life, right?"

Tang Xiao couldn't help but sneer—she turned her side slightly, not wanting Pei Yuancheng to see her expression at the moment.

But there was no way to prevent anyone from hearing that slightly mocking tone.

Tang Xiao suddenly felt a little sad.

I regretted it again, I should have walked out to the corridor to answer the phone in the first place.

"Auntie, it's not that you don't know that my father gets angry when he sees me. He hates iron and steel, and calls me an unfilial daughter-it hurts my body to be angry. I think I won't forget him. May he live a long and healthy life."

Her eyes were cold, and her face was even colder than the eyes - as if covered with a thin layer of frost.

The mocking voice, although it was a smile, also carried a bit of chill.

At this moment, she thought again, how can she explain to Pei Yuancheng later?
He must think she is weird.

Forget it...

Maybe she was just a weird person.

This kind of trouble with the family is not what normal people do.

But, doesn't she want to have a normal family, like a normal person from a normal family?
She thought too.

But she can't.

Or rather, she doesn't deserve it.

"Smile, you...why do you talk like that? Your father was also angry at you at that time. You are his own child. He watched you grow up. No matter how awkward you are, you are also connected by flesh and blood. You don't know, he I miss you a lot at home... Poor parents all over the world, smile, you are doing well now, your father never thought of being honored by you, can't you come back to see him and give him a little comfort on his birthday? "

Li Yan's words seemed to be reasonable. If she was a soft-hearted person, she might not be able to refuse her again.

If there was a third person present, they would definitely regard this stepmother as a tolerant and good person who took care of the overall situation, but she, Tang Xiao, was a wild girl who didn't know the general situation.

This is the scene that Tang Xiao experienced most often in that "home" in the past twenty years.

Countless times in the past, in front of relatives and friends, Li Yan liked to pretend to be a good mother who was gentle with Tang Xiao, which made Tang Xiao feel hairy all over, and went berserk in public——

The consequence of this is, of course, that everyone thinks that Li Yan is gentle and gentle, and tries her best to give Tang Xiao maternal love, but Tang Xiao is young and ignorant, and does not know good people.

She doesn't care anymore.

It's just that every time Li Yan responds like this, I get goose bumps all over my body.

As a result, whenever Li Yan spoke to her like this, she felt a physical disgust, and just wanted to run as far as possible and as fast as possible.

"It's enough to have Tang Mi, I'm an unpopular person, so I don't want to go."

Tang Xiao said lightly.

"How can that be done? Your father gave birth to two daughters. Naturally, both daughters will be married. We will have a birthday party. Friends, relatives, colleagues in the hospital, everyone watching with so many eyes, if only your sister Now, others must be surprised, how can you talk about your father behind Bao Buqi's back!"

Li Yan said earnestly: "Xiaoxiao, just listen to auntie's persuasion, bring Liezi back together, the whole family can have fun together, what's wrong with that?"

But what good is that?
Tang laughed heartily.

What good is it to get together with a group of people who don't usually get along with each other at all?What's the point?
If it wasn't for Tang Zhentian's birthday that she needed to bring Liezi back to earn face for him, how could she, Li Yan, make such a phone call?
It's ridiculous.

She Tang Xiao is such a big person, why should she sacrifice herself to help others?
And this "other" is her family in name, but in fact, it is the source of all her pain in the years before meeting Cheng Lie.

She never wanted to go back to that pain again.

"I said, he won't come back, not even this month."

Once again, she spoke clearly.

"..."

Li Yan seemed to take a deep breath, forcing herself to control her emotions.

Then he continued with a smirk: "Then when will he come back? It's okay..."

"Huh? Can we still wait? So the birthday banquet is so casual? You are so casual, I thought the protagonist of the birthday banquet is not my father, but my husband."

Tang Xiao couldn't help but say something.

After these words came out, my chest felt much relieved.

But Li Yan couldn't control it anymore, her voice suddenly raised several degrees: "Xiaoxiao... what do you mean by that?"

Don smiled.

This time she really laughed, and she laughed very happily.

"I don't mean anything? Don't you just mean it literally? Can't you understand people's language?"

"……you!"

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Li Yan took a few deep breaths, and her heavy exhalation could be heard on the phone.

Tang Xiao was very relieved, his apricot eyes narrowed slightly, his whole body was still tense, but the shoulders that had just leaned forward slightly stretched a lot.

"Smile, you should think about it carefully. I won't talk to you today...I still have something to do. In short...you and your husband have a good talk, and then you must come back together to celebrate your father's birthday. Think about it carefully, what's so difficult about it? It's nothing more than showing up at your father's birthday banquet. I think Reiko must be willing to do it. You're such an adult, so don't be childish. "

Li Yan sighed and said helplessly.

"........."

Tang Xiao heard it amused, Li Yan's words made her sick to the core.

Why should she and Cheng Lie appear at Tang Zhentian's birthday banquet like a decoration for those insignificant people to visit and discuss, just to save face for Tang Zhentian?
Why should she, Li Yan, replace them and think that this is not a difficult task?
Why does Li Yan think that Cheng Lie must be willing if he wants to?

What do you mean by such a grown-up person, don't be childish.

She thinks she is making trouble for no reason?

Ha ha……

Tang Xiao gritted his back molars, and said coldly: "I told you, he's on a business trip. He doesn't know when he will come back. If you want to hold a birthday banquet, you can do it whatever you want. You don't need to call us."

"........."

Li Yan was silent, and seemed to hold back her anger and said: "That's it for today, smile, let's talk another day."

Tang Xiao hung up the phone without wanting to say a word after listening.

After she hung up the phone, she looked down at her toes, closed her eyes, and forced herself to adjust her expression to a normal state.

She tried her best to get rid of the irritability that Li Yan brought her, and turned to look at Pei Yuancheng: "It took a long time to answer the phone, I'm sorry."
