When Xiao Beiqi was mentioned, Tang Zheng suddenly interrupted Ji Wenhao and looked at Qin Huai cautiously.
Ji Wenhao was also startled: "What's wrong?"
Tang Zheng warned: "Stop talking and eat your meal."
Ji Wenhao was a little confused and didn't know what he said was wrong. Wasn't it okay for him to just care about the married life of two people?
After dinner, Tang Zheng remembered to call home. When his mother learned that Tang Zheng could not go back when Tang Wenli was engaged to Jin Yue, she was a little disappointed, but there was nothing she could do. She could only tell Tang Zheng to take good care of himself and to call Xiao Beiqi often.
Tang's mother was not worried about anything else, but she was worried that Tang Zheng and Xiao Beiqi had been separated for so long that some other woman took advantage of him.
In the evening, after Xiao Beiqi received a call from Tang Zheng, he learned that she would stay in the Magic City for a month. His face looked a little bad, but what else could he say?
He knew this girl well. Once she made up her mind, she would stick to it until the end.
"Then you must pay attention to safety."
"Don't worry, I will take care of myself."
The two of them didn't seem to have much to say on the phone, and after chatting for a while, Tang Zheng was about to hang up.
In fact, she really wanted to ask what the relationship between Xiao Beiqi and Qin Huai was, and whether Xiao Beiqi was in love with Qin Huai.
However, once some words are spoken, there seems to be nothing left but embarrassment.
When 7 was about to hang up the phone, Xiao Beiqi suddenly said, "Wait a moment."
Tang Zheng was stunned: "Huh?"
"Did you miss me?"
Tang Zheng smiled wryly. Did Xiao Beiqi ask Qin Huai about this?
If Xiao Beiqi knew that Qin Huai had retired from the army and was still with her, would he be eager to come to the Magic City?
Tang Zheng collected his thoughts and took a long breath: "Yes, I really want to."
Xiao Beiqi: "Yeah, I miss you too!"
The man hung up the phone right after he finished speaking. Tang Zheng was stunned for a long while.
Tang Zheng inadvertently saw the photo of the two people placed on the table, and thought of Qin Huai, she felt a little guilty. She put the photo of the two people into the drawer without hesitation.
In a blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
In the past half month, Tang Zheng went to Xia's house twice and pretended to be the old man's daughter.
Seeing that the bare phoenix coronet was gradually regaining its former splendor, Tang Zheng felt that, not to mention pretending she was the old man's daughter, she could even pretend she was his granddaughter or great-granddaughter.
"Dad, it's going to rain. Go home quickly. I'll buy you a roast duck and I'll be back in two days."
Tang Zheng left and saw the old man still following him, so he quickly spoke.
The old man grabbed Tang Zheng's hand, his old face full of seriousness: "Girl, you must come back!"
Tang Zheng nodded: "Well, Dad, if you are tired, just rest. I will feel bad if you get too tired!"
The old man agreed and went back to the house obediently.
Xia Quan looked at Tang Zheng with some admiration: "Grandpa has driven me crazy these years, but you are still the best. My grandfather listens to whatever you say."
How could it take several days to buy a roast duck? As a result, the old man didn't doubt that there was something wrong with what Tang Zheng said.
Tang Zheng felt bad. The old man must have loved his daughter very much. It was a pity that his daughter was abducted by a kidnapper and never came back.
On the way back, Tang Zheng met an unexpected person, Mao Ling's brother, Mao Jiangchao.
Tang Zheng didn't know him, but Mao Jiangchao recognized Tang Zheng at a glance, presumably because he had gotten to know Tang Zheng.
"Hello, Comrade Xiao Tang. I'm here on behalf of my sister Mao Ling. I want to talk to you."
Tang Zheng's face turned bad when he thought of Mao Ling: "There's nothing to discuss. Either we settle it privately for 100,000 yuan, or let her sit in jail."
Mao Jiangchao said anxiously: "My sister is young and ignorant. This is indeed her fault. I apologize to you on her behalf."
Tang Zheng remained silent, but his attitude was firm.
Mao Jiangchao hesitated for a moment, and said apologetically: "We are willing to compensate, but my family really can't come up with 100,000 yuan. Can you see if you can..."
He stopped talking halfway when he saw Tang Zheng's attitude that there was no room for negotiation.
Mao Jiangchao was silent for a moment, then continued: "How about this? Our family can only raise 40,000 yuan at most. Can we divide the remaining tens of thousands into smaller amounts? For example, 300 yuan a month, 3,600 yuan a year, and you can also collect interest."
Tang Zheng still didn't want to show any mercy, but when she saw Mao Jiangchao in his military uniform and a scar on his neck that was so deep that the bone could be seen, she thought of Xiao Beiqi who had experienced bullets and gunfire, and of the thousands of soldiers who risked their lives to defend their country.
She hesitated: "Then let's make 50,000 yuan. I only want Mao Ling to pay it back. She can pay it back in installments, 50 yuan a month, and 100 yuan in interest a year."
So, if you calculate it this way, it seems that Mao Ling will never be able to pay back this money in her lifetime.
Originally, Mao Jiangchao thought that Tang Zheng was a kind-hearted person, but when he thought about the fact that Mao Ling had been starving all her life, he felt that Tang Zheng was not only cruel, but also vicious.
Tang Zheng didn't care what Mao Jiangchao thought. She just wrote an IOU and asked Mao Jiangchao to personally watch Mao Ling sign it, and the matter was over.
Even if Mao Jiangchao was unwilling, he had no way to refuse and had to say to Tang Zheng: "On behalf of our whole family, thank you Comrade Xiao Tang!"
Tang Zheng glanced at the wound on Mao Jiangchao's neck again. He probably got injured while performing a mission. Fortunately, he was lucky. If the wound was a little more to the side or a little deeper, he would have been dead.
"You're welcome. I'm not doing this for Mao Ling's sake, I'm doing this for your sake."
As she spoke, she gestured at her neck. Mao Jiangchao hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and touched the scar on his neck. He finally understood why Tang Zheng didn't want the 60,000 yuan that the family had raised, and instead asked Mao Ling to pay it back herself.
Tang Zheng is not short of those tens of thousands of dollars. Although he let Mao Ling go, he will never let her have an easy life in this life.
After the discussion, Tang Zheng just walked out the door when a man in black clothes and a black hat walked over quickly.
At first Tang Zheng didn't realize the danger until she deliberately gave way to the man in black, who still pounced on her.
Tang Zheng felt that the situation was not good and wanted to run, but the man in black grabbed his hair!
"careful!"
