Nie Canghao's face didn't look good, but he didn't embarrass Lu Yichang too obviously.
The three of them took their seats. Lu Yichang consciously moved the tableware and moved it next to An Ran.
"Xiao Ran, dad is a male elder, so it may be inconvenient to tell you some things. Hey, if your mother hadn't passed away early, I wouldn't have to personally take care of these things... How many months old is my grandson?" He
Wiping the corners of his eyes, he asked An Ran, but looked at Nie Canghao.
Nie Canghao's face was still cold, and he answered after a while: "More than four months."
"More than four months!" Lu Yichang looked very serious, and then asked: "When are you planning to hold the wedding? I want to prepare a dowry for Xiaoran."
An Ran's eyes moved, and a strange feeling came from the bottom of his heart.
In fact, she had no feelings for Lu Yichang, and this meeting was full of selfishness. But when Lu Yichang said that he would prepare a dowry for her, she was still a little moved.
When she got married for the first time, An Ran, who had just graduated from college, didn't understand anything.
Although the wedding was extremely simple, with only the elders of the Nie family and a few relatives and friends present. But when sisters Nie Weiwei and Nie Yuanyuan asked her what love tokens she had prepared for "Nie Qingyu" and what dowry her parents' family had prepared, she turned out to be the same
I can't answer either.
She still remembers the strange looks in her eyes from relatives and friends of the Nie family. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
When she married Nie Canghao this time, she was willing to buy him such an expensive wedding ring. On the one hand, it was his request, and on the other hand, she also considered that her relatives and friends would not be too embarrassed if they asked about this topic again.
At this time, Lu Yichang proposed to prepare a dowry for her in the name of his father, and she was really warmed up.
Well, she is also a person who has the support and support of her mother-in-law!
In front of Nie Canghao, her natal family was no longer the uncle's family fighting for a check, and they were no longer the fawning He Wenli.
Her father is Lu Yichang, the most powerful business tycoon in Hong Kong City, who is not inferior to Nie Canghao in any aspect.
Thinking of this, she straightened her waist subconsciously. The corners of her lips were raised slightly, and her clear eyes were dyed with a hint of warmth.
Nie Canghao pursed his lips and suppressed the displeasure in his heart. It happened that at this time he received the results of the paternity test - Lu Yichang and An Ran were indeed the biological father and daughter!
Bad news always came one after another, and he began to feel angry again, but he couldn't stop it.
Even if he no longer wanted to see Lu Yichang, no matter how much grievances the two families had, he could not confidently ask An Ran to sever ties with Lu Yichang.
Lu Yichang didn't wait for Nie Canghao's answer for a long time, and his old face seemed a little worried. He stopped asking for trouble and continued to talk to An Ran:
"Xiao Ran, you will always be dad's favorite baby! If Mr. Nie doesn't want to marry you, dad will support you and the little grandson in your belly! The door of the Lu family in Hong Kong City will always be open for you..."
An Ran was not worried that Nie Canghao would not marry her (she wished for it), she was just a little moved by Lu Yichang's words.
There is always a way out waiting for her, which is not a bad thing.
"It's not advisable to work too hard while you're pregnant. The wedding ceremony should be simple." Nie Canghao finally expressed his stance, with a very cold tone.
He was having a headache, what if An Ran insisted on inviting Lu Yichang to the wedding.
"Why keep the wedding simple?" Lu Yichang became unhappy and began to fight for the treatment his daughter deserved. "What can't I do about my daughter, Lu Yichang? Let me tell you Mr. Nie, if Xiaoran is wronged, I will not allow her to marry you.
!”
Nie Canghao laughed angrily, squinting his eyes as he looked at the bumbling old guy, and asked with a sneer: "Who do you think you are!"
"Even if our Lu family is not as good as the Nie family, we are not just nobody! Mr. Nie doesn't even recognize me!" Lu Yichang was very angry. He scolded Nie Canghao for his arrogance while comforting his daughter.
"Xiao Ran, don't be afraid! No matter who wrongs you, your father will support you at any time!" He patted his chest proudly and assured An Ran: "Dad will not let you be bullied for nothing! People look down on you.
We won’t get married anymore, dad will support you!”
An Ran bit her lip hard, feeling moved in her heart.
Nie Canghao almost wanted to overturn the table. This was indeed the Hongmen Banquet! The old thief deliberately tried to show off his favor in front of An Ran, and stepped on himself at the same time.
"Xiaoran, is it okay for you to openly acknowledge your father?" Lu Yichang sincerely solicited his daughter's opinion. "When father officially recognizes you, no one will be able to wrong our daughter of the Lu family, not even Nie Canghao!
"
An Ran was a little moved and looked at Lu Yichang with wet eyes.
Lu Yichang sighed happily: "She is indeed my biological daughter, her eyes are so much like mine! Baby, daddy can do anything for you!"
"That's enough!" Nie Canghao slapped the table and stood up, frightening the waiter who was serving the dishes so that the plates fell to the ground, and broken porcelain shards of the dishes and soup splashed all over the floor.
Some crumbs and soup splashed on An Ran's boots. Fortunately, she didn't wear open-toed shoes this season, otherwise she might have been injured.
Nie Canghao pointed at Lu Yichang and said: "If you want to sow discord between me and An Ran, give up the idea as soon as possible!"
"What did I provoke!" Lu Yichang repeatedly shouted injustice and explained: "I just don't want to wrong Xiaoran. She is pregnant with your child, why don't you give her a grand wedding!"
"An Ran hasn't recognized you as my father yet!" Nie Canghao hit the point, and at the same time his tone was full of disdain: "Just because you don't have the right to dictate our wedding!"
Lu Yichang became even more excited and his face turned red with anger. "No matter whether Xiaoran recognizes me or not, I am her father. I will fight for my life against anyone who wrongs her!"
Nie Canghao wanted to be violent, but he still had a sliver of reason. After all, Lu Yichang was An Ran's biological father. The dispute was so tense that he didn't know how to get along with An Ran.
Although, now he doesn't know how to get along with her in the future.
Let Lu Yichang be his father-in-law? Just thinking about it makes him sick of cold, and he can even vomit out the food he ate the night before.
"An Ran hasn't recognized you yet. It's too early for you to call yourself dad in such a hurry! You abandoned her mother and never fulfilled your responsibilities of raising her for a day. You are not worthy of being her father at all!" Nie Canghao always refused to let An Ran and Lu Yichang get along.
recognize.
As long as An Ran does not recognize Lu Yichang, there will be no embarrassment and conflicts later.
But the next second, I heard An Ran shouting clearly: "Dad!"
The whole place was quiet for three seconds, and then Lu Yichang heard Lu Yichang's excited voice full of surprise. He almost cried with joy: "Xiao Ran, you are finally willing to recognize me as your father!"
An Ran's big eyes were filled with tears, and his dark pupils were like black grapes soaked in mist, but the corners of his lips were slightly curved in a stubborn way.
She insisted on not letting the moisture fall from her eyes, but shouted firmly again with a slightly hoarse voice: "Dad."
"Xiaoran!" Lu Yichang opened his arms and wanted to hug his daughter.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, Nie Canghao pulled An Ran up and changed seats with him.
Lu Yichang did not give in. He demanded: "I want to recognize my daughter. Please don't maliciously obstruct me, Mr. Nie. You can deny me as your father-in-law, but I cannot deny my daughter!"
Nie Canghao looked at An Ran and saw that she took the initiative to walk back to Lu Yichang.
"I want to get to know my father." An Ran asked Nie Canghao.
Nie Canghao really had a headache, so he could only try to dissuade her. "You think about it again, we will go back to discuss..."
"There is no need to think about it or discuss it!" An Ran was determined and solemnly stated. "I have never enjoyed father's love since I was a child. Now my father has finally come to see me, and I want to get to know him."
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Nie Canghao could only compromise. "Sit down and let's talk while eating."
He sat between Lu Yichang and An Ran and was the first to pick up chopsticks.
In fact, there was a fire in his heart and he had no appetite at all. An Ran's act of acknowledging his father forced him into a very embarrassing situation, and he could not even imagine how the next situation would end.
The waiter cleaned up the mess on the floor, wiped the bottom of the table with a rag, and served hot dishes again.
Lu Yichang ignored Nie Canghao's gloomy face, and he encouraged An Ran through Nie Canghao: "Xiao Ran, dear daughter, don't worry, dad will never let you be wronged!"
"I won't let her be wronged!" Nie Canghao said angrily to him.
"When my daughter from the Lu family gets married, the wedding cannot be simple!" Lu Yichang insisted on his point of view, "If the Nie family is worried about the expenses, I can bear all the wedding expenses!"
"Show off in front of me!" Nie Canghao couldn't bear it anymore and put down his chopsticks.
"Ha," Lu Yichang sneered: "So what if the Nie family is rich and can rival the country? The head of the Nie family's wedding is not as good as that of an ordinary wealthy businessman!"
Nie Canghao did not argue with him anymore, and turned to ask An Ran's opinion: "Do you want a simple wedding or a bigger event?"
An Ran hesitated for a moment and said, "Easy or not, that comes second, but dad and brother must attend the wedding."
Nie Canghao: "..."
"Good daughter! My little angel!" Lu Yichang couldn't help but praise her. "Dad is so lucky to have a filial and sensible daughter like you! Your brother will be very pleased to know that, and our grandfathers interrupted
Broken bones and broken tendons, we are a real family, and no one can try to separate us."
An Ran did not respond to Lu Yichang, but she expressed her attitude with practical actions. "Nie Canghao, did you hear? My father and brother must be invited to the wedding."
Nie Canghao was angry and helpless: "Can you discuss with me in advance what you do next time?"
An Ran couldn't help but sneer: "If I had discussed it with you in advance, would you have let me out?"
It is estimated that he will keep her in a cage until they get married.
Of course, it was impossible for him to take the initiative to invite the Lu family and his son when they got married.
Before Nie Canghao could say anything else, the phone in his pocket vibrated.
In the past, when he was angry, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to whoever called him. But when he left the hospital, he specifically told Long Jun that Bai Ling should call him at any time if anything happened.
He could only temporarily stop arguing with Lu Yichang and An Ran and take out his mobile phone to answer the call.
"Master Nie is not good!" Long Jun's voice came from the mobile phone, making him tremble with fear: "Bai Ling secretly left the hospital and fainted on the way. Now she has been sent to the emergency room..."
