Dad Academy

Chapter 524 The Closest Stranger

As soon as Zhang Tan arrived and sat down in Xin Xiaoguang's office, Xiao Bai followed him and sat beside him, pouting, grimacing, saying nothing, and dangling his little feet in the air.

Zhang Tan was asking about the serialization status of Xin Xiaoguang's comics when he suddenly felt his calf being kicked. When he looked down, he saw that Xiaobai's dangling little feet seemed to have hit him accidentally.

"What's wrong? Why do you seem unhappy?" Zhang Tan asked the little guy.

Xiaobai, who had his head lowered and his face puffed up, immediately said to him aggrievedly: "Xi'er painted a beard~"

Zhang Tan asked: "Don't you think you should add a beard to the portrait?"

Xiaobai nodded.

Zhang Tan asked why. Xiaobai looked at him, then at Xin Xiaoguang, and finally looked at him and said he just didn't have a beard.

Zhang Tan said: "Then you draw one without a beard. That was Xi'er's just now. Xi'er's father used to have a beard, and Dudu's father also had a beard. Do you want to draw a different one?"

Xiaobai nodded.

Zhang Tan stood up and led her away: "Come on, I'll teach you how to draw."

Xin Xiaoguang watched them leave, having just talked about the matter for a few words.

Two days later, early in the morning.

Zhang Tan had already woken up before it was completely light. He slept intermittently last night. He woke up in the middle of the night and had only a few dreams.

Following his own habit, he lay in bed for a while and sorted out the rest of the day. Then he got up, washed his face and brushed his teeth, changed his clothes, and went for a run in the yard.

After running eight times, I went outside to have breakfast. When I returned to the academy, Lao Li was already here and making tea in the guard box.

"It's so early today." Lao Li greeted.

"Yes, have you eaten?"

"have eaten."

Zhang Tan returned home, took a shower and changed clothes, and heard the sound of playful little kids in the yard. He went to the balcony to take a look, and saw two chubby children gathered under the mulberry tree, seemingly discussing climbing the tree.

"It's so early for you guys." Zhang Tan greeted.

The two little ones raised their little faces, and the older one immediately pointed at the younger one and said, "It's Dudu who wants to climb the tree, it's none of my business~~~~"

Dudu giggled, hugging the tree trunk, and wanted to climb up, but she was too small, with short hands and short legs, so she could only cling to it to keep from falling for the time being. As for climbing up, unless she could fly.

"Don't climb the tree, Dudu, come down quickly."

“*…¥%…¥% # ¥##”

This little one is a bit tough, there is nothing she is particularly afraid of, and she dares to get involved in anything.

She continued to lie on the tree trunk, and Zhang Tan asked Liuliu to take Dudu down and take her to the studio.

Liuliu immediately pulled Dudu down and led her away.

"**%¥%##"

"Slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly~~"

"*%##!!!"

"Hahahaha, slightly, slightly, slightly~~~"

This time there is no need to hold hands, and there is no need to worry about Dudu refusing to follow Liliu, because Dudu is chasing Liliu angrily and wants to quarrel with her!

The children from the interest class arrived one after another, and in the end only Xiaobai was left.

It was past 9 o'clock, and just when Zhang Tan thought that Ma Lanhua would not send Xiao Bai to Little Red Horse today, Xiao Bai arrived late and ran past Zhang Tan with a gust of wind whistling.

Zhang Tan saw Ma Lanhua and Bai Jianping coming and said, "Then let's go and see the results."

Bai Jianping asked hesitantly: "Is it today?"

Malanhua ignored him and said directly to Zhang Tan, "Then let's go."

"You guys wait at the door for a while, I'll drive over." Zhang Tan drove to the parking lot and came to the door of Xiaohongma to pick them up. He saw Xiaobai standing on the steps of the studio, tiptoeing towards him enthusiastically. They waved goodbye.

When we arrived at the certification agency, the results had already come out. The staff who had received them last time took them to the certification office and took out the envelope containing the results.

"They're all in there. Take a look. I'm going out first." The staff member said, handing the envelope forward for them to take away.

Neither Zhang Tan nor the other three people reached out to receive it, but a light envelope was of great importance in their eyes. Although they had done enough mental homework before coming, they still did not dare to face the reality when the critical moment came.

Seeing that no one answered, the staff member said again: "Take it."

Zhang Tan took it in his hand and said thank you. When he saw that the other party was gone, he did not open it immediately. Instead, he asked Ma Lanhua and Bai Jianping: "Should I read it here or find another place?"

This is the work room, and people pass by from time to time, so Malanhua says to find another place.

Zhang Tan led them to a nearby cafe, asked for a private room, placed the envelope in the middle of the table, and said, "Do you want to read it first?"

Malanhua stared at the envelope and shook her head.

"I come."

It was Bai Jianping, who was usually weak, who took the initiative to take the envelope, opened it, and pulled out a list. He read it for a few seconds, handed it to Zhang Tan, and said, "You should also take a look."

Zhang Tan took it and browsed it. It was an A4-sized form with words and numbers on both sides. There were five aspects in total, including the person being confirmed and the condition of the inspection materials, the processing and inspection methods of the inspection materials, etc. Zhang Tan directly Skipping these, my eyes fell on the bottom, where it read: Test Conclusion.

Test conclusion: Supports Zhang Tan as the biological father of Bai Chunhua.

Support Zhang Tan as Bai Chunhua’s biological father!

The moment he saw this line of words, Zhang Tan was just like Xiaobai once said, his head was buzzing, his thinking was frozen, he had nothing to think about, and he had nothing to think about.

Ma Lanhua and Bai Jianping, who were sitting across from him, stared at him. Seeing his shocked look, they had mixed feelings in their hearts. Their mission was completed, but they were not relaxed at all, and their hearts were still heavy.

They did not disturb Zhang Tan. After a while, Zhang Tan recovered, picked up the coffee on the table and drank it in one gulp. He put the form on the table and said, "The result is, Xiaobai is my child." , I am Xiaobai’s father.”

Malanhua and Bai Jianping looked at him without speaking.

Zhang Tan continued: "Let me tell you about Xiaobai's mother and me."

He recounted the brief encounter between Zhang Tan and Bai Yuxin in detail. It was very short and they didn't have much interaction.

"That's it. What do you want to ask?" Zhang Tan finally said.

Bai Jianping's face was miserable and he couldn't speak. Malanhua asked in a harsh voice, "Have you ever thought about finding Yu Xin from our family?"

Zhang Tan really wanted to say that he had thought about it, or even said that he actually found it, but he just didn't find it. In this case, they might feel better, but...

"Actually no, she and I should be the closest strangers."

Malanhua was silent and did not speak. Bai Jianping's knuckles creaked.

Malanhua asked: "Then what are you going to do now?"

Zhang Tan has already thought about it, "Of course I want to take good care of Xiaobai, but I listen to your opinions, especially Grandma Xiaobai."

Malanhua and Bai Jianping looked at each other, and Malanhua asked again: "Do you have anything to ask?"

Zhang Tan asked: "Does Grandma Xiaobai know...about Xiaobai?"

"She knew, she knew it very early, even before us. Jiang Ping took the initiative to tell her, before getting married. In fact, we came to Pujiang to find Xiaobai... and to find you because we were entrusted by her. She said that Xiaobai is still so young and will be without a mother for the rest of her life, and she cannot be left without a father."

Zhang Tan said: "I want to go to Baijia Village and explain to her face to face that you decide the time. If she wants to see me now, I can rush there now."

Malanhua said: "I've been looking for her for several years, and I'm not in a hurry these days. I'm worried that she won't be able to bear it. Let's wait until I find a suitable opportunity to tell her."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Suddenly there was nothing to say between the two.

"I didn't expect it to be you, Boss Zhang." In the silent box, Bai Jianping finally spoke, "I haven't been able to believe it, but the results are here, so I can't help but not believe it. I have thought about it a lot before, and I have thought about that person. What kind of person is he? I thought I must teach him a lesson, that kind of scumbag, worse than a pig or a dog, bullying us honest people, right?"

His fingers made a crunching sound, as if he was trying his best to resist the urge to do anything.

Zhang Tan said subconsciously: "To be fair, there is no fault between Zhang Tan and Bai Yuxin. It is all the fault of one person. That night was the fault of both parties. No one forced the other..."

"What did you say??? You son of a bitch!!!"

Before Zhang Tan finished speaking, Bai Jianping grabbed him by the collar and almost pulled him up from the sofa.

The collar tightened around his neck, Zhang Tan couldn't breathe smoothly, and there was obvious blood on his face.

"Old Bai! What are you doing? Let go."

Malan struggled to pull Bai Jianping's hands. His pine-like hands had no obvious muscles, but years of physical labor had made his hands as strong as iron prisons.

Zhang Tan didn't resist, letting him strangle his neck and glaring angrily.

Who would have thought that Bai Jianping, who is usually weak in front of others, would also have angry eyes.

"Let go, Lao Bai!" Malanhua said loudly, angry.

Bai Jianping then let go of Zhang Tan. Zhang Tan fell back on the sofa, bent over and coughed, breathing rapidly. It took a while before he regained his composure. He was not angry, but slowly arranged his collar and hair, and said: "You are right, really, I am not angry. In fact, I also hate Zhang Tan. I have never done anything harmful to the world. Come on. In this world, I am helpless. How many scapegoats have I taken?! Seeing that my career is flourishing, do you think I am enjoying my current life? No! I don’t care about this at all! You all say that I am It's Neptune, but is that me? I really liked Su Lan, but Su Lan also left me because I was Neptune. I'm really tired of this. Why do I come here? I just want to go back In the past, I was an only child, and my parents were still waiting for me to take care of me in old age! I still have many relatives and friends, and what is there here? If it weren’t for these children in Little Red Mali, if I hadn’t met Xiaobai, I would have left long ago Now, who cares about this?!"
