When Tong Jia came home, her mother had already prepared the food. The dining table was full and steaming.
"Mom, why are you preparing so much? I can't eat much."
Tong Jia skillfully threw her coat aside casually and stretched lazily. She had not been back for a long time, but she still felt a sense of intimacy.
Lan Xin walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron, holding a casserole in her hand, which was steaming.
"You, how can you eat well when you are alone outside? It's not easy for you to go home. As a mother, I must make sure you are full and at least gain two more kilograms of meat before going back."
Tong Jia took advantage of her mother to roll her eyes and said, "How can any mother hope that her daughter will gain weight? When the time comes, everyone will be disgusted when she goes out on a blind date."
"Who dares to dislike it?" Lan Xin said seriously, "Our little one is so beautiful. What's wrong with gaining a few more pounds? I think it's just right to gain another four or five pounds. You've lost a lot of weight now.
, life is not easy outside."
"What's wrong with it?"
Tong Jia smoothed her hair, leaned over the table, and took a deep breath.
"Wow, Mom, your cooking skills are still so good. You and Dad make a lot of delicious food at home."
The topic of the mother and daughter happened to come to Tong Haiwei, so Lan Xin took off her gloves and told Tong Jia: "Your dad is an old idiot with a bad temper. Don't keep competing with him. You guys?"
Father and daughter compete like this every day, when will they finally become the same?"
Tong Jia said indifferently: "I don't want to compete with him. He insists on being angry. I don't care."
"Why do you mean I have to be angry?"
Tong Haiwei walked out of the study.
"I am your father. Do I have no authority at all in your heart as a father?"
Tong Jia murmured: "It depends on where you use your dignity."
"Xiaojia!" Lan Xin pulled Tong Jia's arm from the side and called to Tong Haiwei, "Okay, please stop saying a few words. Look, you two won't let anyone go, and you have the same bad temper."
Tong Jia pulled up the chair and sat down, complaining: "Doesn't this just mean it's hereditary?"
Lan Xin couldn't help but laugh out loud, and patted Tong Haiwei next to her: "Old Tong, you see, you need a daughter at home to have a family. Without a daughter, you always feel empty inside, like
There's a piece missing."
Tong Haiwei watched Tong Jia sit down, picked up a piece of fish, and started eating by himself. He glanced at Lan Xin angrily: "You're used to it."
Lan Xin was filled with joy when she could see her daughter eating so contentedly. She sat aside and looked at Tong Jia with a smile and said, "Eat slowly. There are small spines in this fish. Don't choke."
"She is already an adult and knows how to eat fish, so just leave her alone."
Lan Xin helped Tong Jia fill a bowl of soup, put it in her hand, and asked her with concern: "Xiao Jia, you came back this time because of that Yang Ling thing, right?"
"how do you know."
"What do you mean, how do I know? You were busy asking around, and it immediately caused a stir in the whole city. If I, a mother, don't know, then it would be very incompetent for me."
Tong Jia did not deny it, took a sip of soup and wiped off the oil on her hands.
"Yang Ling, this guy is quite good. I don't think he would do such a thing."
Tong Haiwei happened to have a newspaper at hand, which reported on how Lingtian Technology made fake products and deceived consumers.
Tong Haiwei took the newspaper, handed it to Tong Jia and said, "This kid's case is making a lot of noise now. I'm afraid it's not that easy to solve. You said he has no problem, but where is your evidence?"
Tong Jia said dissatisfied: "Aren't I looking for evidence? The people from the gang in Jiangcheng County are so pedantic that they don't even let lawyers see them."
As soon as Tong Jia talked about Yang Ling, her mood fluctuated. She was so talkative just now, but when she talked about Yang Ling, her anger rose.
"Let's see if you are still honest. A girl is running around for a married man. What will happen if word gets out?"
Tong Haiwei's words stung Tong Jia, and Tong Jia's face immediately darkened, and she said coldly: "If you two call me back just to ridicule me, then your purpose has been achieved, and I can leave.
?"
"Xiaojia."
Lan Xin glared at Tong Haiwei and said, "You can't stop saying a few words. I heard that Yang Ling has a pretty good personality and is a nice person. And wasn't he really capable before? There's probably something to this matter."
of."
Tong Haiwei seemed to feel that what he just said was a bit too much. He felt a little guilty, and his tone became much softer. He said to his daughter: "How are you going to help him?"
"I have my own way."
"What can you do?" Tong Haiwei put on airs and said, "Do you still want to run around with the lawyer all over Jiangcheng? What's the use of that?"
"I will look for other evidence. As long as he is innocent, I will definitely find evidence."
"Then when do you plan to go?"
Tong Haiwei simply stopped acting and directly stated his conditions and said: "Xiaojia, dad knows that you and Yang Ling are close confidants and have a good relationship, and he also knows that the young man does have some skills and would not do such a thing.
Dirty things. Dad is determined to help such a young man."
"Really?" Tong Jia looked at her father uncertainly.
"Are you really willing to help Yang Ling?"
"If you can bring back a wise young man from the edge of the cliff, then dad has done a good deed."
Tong Haiwei continued: "Of course, Yang Ling is a married man after all. Although he is very good, it is impossible for you and him to be together. You also do your father a favor and go see the child again. This way
That’s fair, right?”
Tong Haiwei's words shocked Tong Jia's heart.
Lan Xin followed and said: "Xiaojia, haven't you seen that that kid is very smart, tall and handsome, and has become a section chief at a young age. His father has also been your father's friend for many years.
, the family is well off, and it’s a good marriage.”
Tong Jia felt suffocated in her heart, and her eyes were filled with tears.
For a while, I thought about whether Yang Ling suffered a lot of grievances in the detention center?
After a while, I thought about Yang Ling and Su Yi. They had a very good relationship and had a perfect family.
He sneered again, "Who do you think you are?"
A confidante? Tong Jia is a rational girl, and she quickly puts her emotions to rest.
Tong Jia was silent for a while. She did not reject her father this time, but thought about it very carefully for a long time, and nodded for the first time.
"If you are willing to help Yang Ling, I will go on a blind date with you."
Lan Xin was overjoyed when she heard that. She held her daughter's hand tightly and said, "Xiaojia, you finally figured it out. Don't worry, it doesn't matter what your father says here. Yang Ling will definitely be fine."
Tong Haiwei also showed a rare smile, looked at his daughter and said: "Let's stay at home today. My father will buy a plane ticket early tomorrow morning and go to Shenzhen City. When we meet in person, we have to restrain ourselves."
