After Mr. Tang heard Xu Tian's voice, his tone became a little colder.
"Hello, grandpa, I am Xu Tian."
Xu Tian replied in a respectful tone: "Originally, after I got married to Bingyan, I should have taken the initiative to go to the imperial capital to see you, but I have been a little busy with work recently, so I haven't been able to visit. I hope grandpa will forgive me."
"But don't worry, Grandpa, everything is normal in Jiangcheng. The two of us will go back to see you in a while."
"You...are Xu Tian?"
Mr. Tang was a little surprised. As early as when Tang Bingyan ignored her family's opposition to marriage, he had investigated Xu Tian.
It's just that Xu Tian doesn't like his granddaughter, and he always wants a divorce.
Could it be that he was moved by his granddaughter and changed his mind and wanted to live a stable life with his granddaughter?
"It's me, Grandpa."
Xu Tian seemed not to realize that Mr. Tang was angry at all: "Bingyan and I have been very busy these past two days. We finally got off work early today. I stewed the ribs for Bingyan, but she doesn't seem to have any appetite."
"Although it's rude to ask this, Grandpa, can you tell me what Bingyan likes to eat?"
Ah Wei and Chen Xiaoxiao were stunned as they listened to Xu Tian and Mr. Tang on the other end of the phone chatting about everyday things.
Is this Xu Tian really blind?
Couldn't he tell that Mr. Tang was angry?
However, being disturbed by Xu Tian, Mr. Tang also felt sorry for his granddaughter. Hearing that Tang Bingyan had lost her appetite recently, he even forgot the purpose of his call.
"Bingyan, she has been a picky eater since she was a child. I have put a lot of thought into getting her to eat on time..."
"Let's do this. I'll ask the housekeeper to compile a recipe and send it to Wei. You can refer to it."
"Okay, thank you, grandpa." Xu Tian seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and spoke again: "Grandpa, do you want to talk to Bingyan, then I won't disturb you, I will give her the phone right now...
…”
"No need." Mr. Tang sighed: "You and Bingyan should have a good meal."
After saying that, Mr. Tang hung up the phone on his own initiative.
At the same time, the imperial capital.
"Old man, aren't you going to ask the eldest lady?" the housekeeper next to Mr. Tang asked in surprise.
"No need to ask." Mr. Tang took off his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows: "I have investigated that boy Xu Tian. He is just an ordinary boy. He originally did not want to marry Bingyan. Bingyan spent a lot of money chasing him.
A lot of thought.”
"With that boy by Bingyan's side, Bingyan will definitely not do those things, let alone let him see blood."
"But Xu Tian's status is still too low, and he is not worthy of the eldest lady."
The housekeeper gave Mr. Tang a cup of tea: "The eldest lady has suffered a lot because of this marriage."
"I'm older and can't control so much. As long as Bingyan likes her, I'll let her do it. We, the children of the Tang family, don't need to sacrifice ourselves by getting married."
"Children from big families who have become philistines at a young age may not be worthy of Bingyan."
Mr. Tang sees things more clearly.
"That's true. I didn't expect that boy to cook for the young lady himself. This is much better than those young men."
…
In Jiangcheng Villa, Xu Tian handed the phone to Tang Bingyan.
"Honey, I shouldn't have said anything wrong to make grandpa unhappy, right?"
Tang Bingyan stared at the mobile phone handed over by Xu Tian and was stunned for a moment before shaking her head.
Xu Tian has changed so much in the past two days that she always thinks that she is still in a dream, a dream that she does not want to wake up from.
"Miss, will the old man call me again?"
Awei spoke carefully.
He still didn't quite believe that this matter had just turned around.
He felt that maybe Mr. Tang didn't want to question the eldest lady in front of Xu Tian, an outsider, and wanted to settle the score with his wife.
"Probably not." Tang Bingyan said calmly.
She understood her grandfather's character. He must have investigated Xu Tian before, and she also knew that with how much she cared about Xu Tian, she would never use those methods in front of Xu Tian.
So with Xu Tian's presence, she didn't need any explanation at all.
"Honey, let's go up quickly, it's quite cold here."
Xu Tian stretched out his hand towards Tang Bingyan: "Come on, I'll cook for you. You go upstairs and take a bath first. I'll call you when the meal is ready. Next time, just let Ah Wei and the others do the dirty work.
How could you come to a place like this?"
"Xu Tian, why are you talking to the eldest lady? It's not your turn to ask what the eldest lady is doing, right?"
Chen Xiaoxiao was absolutely furious when she saw Xu Tian's appearance.
Who the hell is he? He dares to point fingers at the eldest lady?
Ah Wei pulled Chen Xiaoxiao helplessly: "Just stop saying a few words. Do you still want to be detained?"
Xu Tian was obviously trying to please their CEO, but why did it turn into pointing fingers at Chen Xiaoxiao?
No wonder this woman has been single for more than 20 years and still can't find a boyfriend.
"Did I say something wrong? You won't fall for this scumbag too..."
Chen Xiaoxiao was still a little unconvinced, but when she saw Tang Bingyan's cold, emotionless eyes, she swallowed back the words that were on her lips.
"Miss, Mr. Xu, you can go up first and leave this place to us."
Ah Wei quickly opened the door to the basement room. The air circulated, and the strong smell of blood in the room became much lighter.
Chen Xiaoxiao was furious and glared at Ah Wei fiercely.
She had only been detained for a few days, and even Awei had switched sides?
Is he worthy of calling him a scumbag, Mr. Xu?
Chen Xiaoxiao was put in solitary confinement because Tang Bingyan concealed the news about Xu Tian. Naturally, she didn't notice that Xu Tian came home on time from get off work every day in the past few days and greeted Tang Bingyan.
But these Ah Wei all saw it.
Although he didn't believe in the idea of a prodigal son returning home without money, but now that Xu Tian wanted to live a good life with the eldest lady, and the eldest lady didn't care about the past, he felt that he had no qualifications and no reason to object.
However, he saw that Chen Xiaoxiao was still hostile to Xu Tian, so he guessed that she would not figure it out so quickly.
Forget it if she can't figure it out, Wei just hopes that she will stop being so smart and disobeying the eldest lady's wishes.
He hasn't lived enough yet, and he doesn't want to be punished every three days.
…
Midnight, Tang Bingyan's bedroom.
fire.
The overwhelming fire engulfed everything.
Tang Bingyan could even feel the scorching temperature of the flames burning her skin.
In this fire, Xu Tian's figure disappeared from her sight little by little, and was finally completely engulfed by the flames.
"No!"
Tang Bingyan roared and jumped up from the bed. She covered her chest with her heart, like a dehydrated fish, breathing in the fresh air.
Her heart was beating erratically, making her feel like she was constantly falling.
Tang Bingyan gritted her teeth in pain, trying to suppress the violent trembling of her body.
With a "pop" sound, the light in the room was turned on, and she subconsciously squinted her eyes to block the warm white light pouring down from above her head.
At this moment, a figure ran over from the door and hugged her directly.
Tang Bingyan was stunned for a moment, but the familiar scent quickly calmed her down.
"Honey, are you having another nightmare?"
Xu Tian and Tang Bingyan were still sleeping in separate rooms. He had planned to sleep on the sofa in Tang Bingyan's master bedroom before, but Tang Bingyan felt that it was not good to rest like this, so she simply asked the servants in the villa to clean up a room next door.
In fact, Xu Tian wanted to sleep with Tang Bingyan, but he felt that the progress was too fast all at once, so he wanted to wait for a suitable time, when Tang Bingyan completely trusted him, before the relationship between the two could take a further step.
But tonight he felt a little uneasy.
Just now, he was drowsy and a little sleepy, when he heard the exclamation coming from next door.
So he rushed to Tang Bingyan's room without thinking.
Sure enough, when he saw Tang Bingyan's appearance, he knew that her sleep anxiety had struck again.
"I'm fine."
Tang Bingyan was a little stiff as she was held in Xu Tian's arms.
"Is it really okay?"
Xu Tian felt a little distressed when he saw Tang Bingyan still showing off despite her pale face: "If you are afraid, I can sleep with you."
