Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Yu Youxi was sensible and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she started discussing with her about going out to play after the exam.
"Twilight, I have chosen several places, please give me some advice." As she said that, she put her phone on the table and pushed it in front of her.
Tang Muzhi just glanced at it and said with a somewhat apologetic tone: "Youzi, I'm going back to Tanzhou after the exam. You'd better find someone else to go out with you this time."
Now Tang Hong wants to sell her grandma's house. If they meet this noon and settle the deal at once, everything will be fine. Otherwise, she doesn't know when this matter will be settled.
So, naturally she couldn't participate in the plan to go out this time.
Hearing this, Yu Youxi's face fell instantly, "You are only going back to Tanzhou for a few days, and you don't have to stay forever. At worst, we will go out to play again before the end of the year, and it will be just in time to celebrate the New Year when we come back."
Her suggestion was good, but Tang Muzhi still shook his head, "It really won't work this time, and I should stay in my hometown for a while, and I might not come back until the next year."
Yu Youxi sighed, with disappointment written all over her face, and snorted: "Are you kidding me? You are already married, and you are not allowed to go back with your family to celebrate the New Year this year?"
Hearing her talk about this matter, Tang Muzhi was a little stunned for a moment. After all, she had never considered this issue before.
According to her original plan, during the Spring Festival, she would choose to go back to Tanzhou alone in order to avoid going back to her mother's house for the New Year's Eve dinner. However, when this plan started, there was no Jing Xiao.
And now that Tang Hong is back, it will be even more difficult for her to hide back to Tanzhou to celebrate the New Year alone.
Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, Yu Youxi also guessed what she was thinking and comforted: "Don't worry, why don't I accompany you back to Tanzhou after the exam is over, and we will come back after grandma's house is taken care of." , As for the New Year’s Eve, it’s still early, so don’t think about it in a hurry.”
"Yuzi, I know you are worried about me, but Tanzhou is where I grew up. I am familiar with it there, so nothing will happen to me."
There are some things that she can handle by herself, and she must handle them by herself.
"Tang Mu Zhi." Yu Youxi called her with a serious face, obviously a little unhappy, "It's okay if you don't want others to know about this matter. As your good friend, how can I look at you? Being bullied.”
Knowing that she was referring to Jing Xiao, Tang Muzhi pursed her lips and smiled helplessly, reached out to hold her arm, and said coquettishly: "Youzi, no one bullies me."
"Come on, at Grandma Tang's funeral last time, your distant relatives were like black-eyed chickens. They wanted to eat you alive. If it hadn't been for Grandma Tang's will, they would have dominated that house. "
Yu Youxi was so angry that she felt disgusted even now when she thought of the scene and the faces of those distant relatives who were beyond their reach.
"Okay, okay, why do you feel you are angrier than me?" Tang Mu Zhi couldn't help but tease her, with a calm look on his face.
"I have never seen such a shameless person. Twilight, this time your dad... No, this time Tang Hong comes back to fight for the house, and they will definitely interfere again. You will definitely not get into trouble when you go back this time. , how can you possibly defeat them alone?"
Yu Youxi persuaded her earnestly, hoping that she would not be soft-hearted again. After all, the reality before her was cruel.
Tang Mu Zhi naturally understood what she said, but every family had sutras that were difficult to recite, and there was nothing she could do about it.
"Okay, this matter is settled. As soon as the exam is over, I will accompany you back to Tanzhou." Yu Youxi stopped listening to what she said and settled the matter directly. He kept mumbling, "I see, not only do I have to accompany you back this time, but I also have to call in a few more people. I asked my brother to arrange some bodyguards for me in case of emergency."
"Grapefruit……"
Tang Mu Zhi was just about to dissuade her, but he saw her walking away quickly with her mobile phone, and disappeared in a flash, which really made people laugh and cry.
This guy is always like this, fiery and fiery. Once he makes a decision, no one can change it.
W&L Technology, President's Office.
Jing Xiao came to the company, sat down, and was not in the right state.
He obviously sent a message to Tang Muzhi to explain, but she didn't reply a word. He didn't know whether he didn't see it or did it on purpose. This made him feel so confused that he couldn't concentrate on his work at all.
This has never happened before, and I don't know what happened now. Her casual actions and words can affect his heart.
Shi Qian stood aside and reported on his work. Seeing that he still didn't respond, he didn't dare to continue.
"Master Jing?" He closed the document and called softly.
Hearing this, Jing Xiao suddenly raised his eyes to look at him, his indifferent voice filled with dignity, "Are you done?"
Knowing that his father was in a bad mood, he nodded and did not intend to continue talking.
Immediately, Jing Xiao waved his hand to signal him to go out.
Shi Qian nodded and left. Just as he walked to the door, he heard the person behind him speaking again.
"Is there any news from Tanzhou? Have you found out who called Zhizhi?"
Hearing this, he felt his back stiffen, and turned around quickly, lowering his head, "Sorry, Mr. Jing, we haven't found anything yet."
Only a few hours have passed since last night. How can it be so fast?
"Before get off work today." After Jing Xiao dropped these words, he turned his chair and ignored him.
After receiving the ultimatum, Shi Qian hurried out and took the time to get people to do things.
Jing Xiao pinched his eyebrows irritably, looking outside the window, looking at the scattered raindrops falling on the glass, his expression getting darker.
At noon, a cafe near Haicheng University.
After many years, Tang Muzhi saw her father again. Her eyes were full of disgust and disgust.
Tang Hong is much older, his hair is gray, his body is bloated, and his whole person looks haggard and vicissitudes of life.
But he sat there with a solemn look on his face, still carrying a sense of majesty and oppression.
"Where's the house book?" Tang Hong asked straight to the point.
She took a deep breath and pretended to be calm and replied: "I didn't bring it."
"Damn girl." Tang Hong stared at her with a sinister look and scolded her harshly, "Don't toast me and eat as a penalty. It's shameless."
She sneered disdainfully and mocked: "What? Are you going to attack me again? Even if you beat me to death here today, I won't give you grandma's house book."
Hearing this, Tang Hong was so angry that he slapped the table hard, causing the cup to shake. He growled, "You really want to see me lying dead on the street, don't you?"
His actions aroused the attention of many people around him, but Tang Muzhi didn't care. She looked at his fierce face and threw a bag beside him to him.
"Take the money and leave. Don't think about grandma's house anymore."
Tang Hong reached out and grabbed the bag she threw over. When he opened it, he saw that there was some cash inside. He was pleasantly surprised.
But then, he narrowed his eyes and stared at her, and shouted in a deep voice: "What I want is two million, not two hundred thousand."
"I only have so much, do you like it or not?" Tang Muzhi glanced at him indifferently and stood up, "These should be my last filial piety to you. Don't come to me again in the future."
"Stop!" Tang Hong yelled angrily, stood up suddenly, blocked her way, raised the corners of his sinister and vicious mouth, and threatened, "You want to send me away with such a small amount of money. It's not even enough for me to pay off the debt. I If I don’t get two million, I won’t leave Haicheng.”
"I still say the same thing, you haven't fulfilled your responsibilities as a father, and I don't have to fulfill my filial piety as a daughter. You..."
Before she could finish her words, a loud slap fell on her face.
"Damn girl, do you really want me to die?" Tang Hong scolded her angrily and mercilessly, "You white-eyed wolf, if I had known I would have beaten you to death."
Tang Muzhi was hit and turned her face away. She glanced at the strange looks of the people around her and sneered at him, "You didn't kill me back then, but now you don't have this chance. This money is already my right." You are extremely benevolent and righteous. If you are not satisfied, then go to court and sue me."
As soon as she finished speaking, she left straight away, not wanting to talk nonsense with him anymore.
Seeing her leaving like this, Tang Hong gritted his teeth, clenched his fists angrily, a murderous look flashed in his eyes, cursed in his mouth, and left with the money.
After coming out of the cafe, Tang Muzhi did not go back to school or home immediately.
She walked aimlessly on the street. The burning pain on her cheek made her feel like she was back in the past. Tears welled up in her eyes. Even though she tried to hold back, she couldn't stop them from falling.
She originally thought that if she gave Tang Hong her 200,000 savings, the matter would turn around more or less, but now it seems that she is overthinking it.
At the same time, Jing Xiao had just left the company and rushed home.
From the moment he got into the car, he had been staring at the photo in his hand, his brows furrowed and his expression dark and unreadable.
The photo shows Tang Muzhi and Tang Hong meeting.
Not only did she give Tang Hong money, she was also beaten by that bastard.
Although Jing Xiao had always known that someone called to threaten Tang Mu Zhi, he had suspected many people, even his biological father, but he never thought that that person would be Tang Hong, who had been missing for many years.
Shi Qian glanced at him through the rearview mirror, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Master Jing, I have already asked people to investigate Tang Hong's situation in the past few years."
"Say." He said this word in a cold tone without even raising his head.
"Tang Hong left Tanzhou after divorcing Weng Lu more than ten years ago. He came to Haicheng this morning. He had made investments before, but they were all in crooked ways and didn't make much money. Later, He borrowed a lot of high-interest loans, and now the interest is compounded, and he obviously can't pay it back, so he wants to come back and sell the old house in Tanzhou..."
