cast a peach

Chapter 49 Decision

When Tan Mingli drove to Tan's house, Tan Jingshan's tea was steaming. He lifted the lid of Mei Ziqing's incense burner and carefully lit a roll of incense.

"Mingli, you're here."

Tan Jingshan nodded carefully, and then raised his head to look at her, and smiled gently, "Come and sit."

Tan Mingli sat down in response and did not speak, but quietly divided the white porcelain tea sets on the tea table one by one.

The grandfather and grandson have a tacit understanding and are natural.

The tea is ready.

Tan Jingshan poured tea for Tan Mingli and said, "You don't need to be so particular today, there are only two of us, grandpa and grandson, so you can be more casual."

Tan Mingli responded with a gentle voice.

After the two drank a cup of tea quietly, Tan Jingshan glanced at Tan Mingli with a smile: "It seems that today must be a good day."

Tan Mingli knew what grandpa was joking about, but she followed his lead and asked, "Who are you referring to?"

"Isn't it a good day for Tan's family and daughter to go home today? Today, Tan's family will reissue a new phone, isn't it a good day?"

Tan Jingshan laughed loudly, and asked a few questions back and forth, obviously in a good mood.

He narrowed his eyes happily, and complained, "Mingli, you really made grandpa wait so long, you've been gone for ten years now. How many decades can a person have in this life? I'm already a person who is about to enter the coffin, Some time ago, I was still thinking, I don’t know if I can wait until the day when you really come back.”

He touched the teacup lightly with emotion: "Fortunately, you didn't make Grandpa wait any longer."

Tan Mingli smiled quietly, but did not answer.

"From next month, you can go directly to Tan's work, huh?"

Tan Jingshan smiled and patted the back of his granddaughter's hand, "I have already asked someone to vacate the general manager's office for you. Mingqing and your second uncle have also coordinated."

Tan Mingli thanked softly.

"By the way, there is also Shen Qingzhou—"

Tan Jingshan thought of something, and tapped lightly on the edge of the tea table, "What are you going to do with him?"

"I've already arranged it."

It is not surprising that grandpa knew about Shen Qingzhou. Tan Mingli was prepared and responded respectfully, "Tomorrow I will take Xiaoshui to the injury appraisal, and he can be held criminally responsible for minor injuries. If you don't understand, please detain him for a few days. Let Mingqing take advantage of this time to clean up his company, and let him go to jail later, it depends on his attitude."

"Okay, that's fine."

Tan Jingshan thought about it, "Do it beautifully. After all, it hurt the children of the Zhao family, so we have to take it seriously. What's more, it's in Jiangcheng, our place..."

He asked again: "Brother Hongliang doesn't know about this, does he?"

Tan Mingli said softly, "Grandpa Zhao probably wouldn't know."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Tan Jingshan gave Tan Mingli a slightly surprised look, "Really? That's good, that's good. Brother Hong Liang is very interested in that child, I thought he already knew it.——You How did you hide it?"

Tan Mingli pursed her lips, and replied, "It's not me, it's because Xiao Shui didn't tell Grandpa Zhao."

"Oh... so..."

Only then did Tan Jingshan feel relieved, and said thoughtfully, "It seems that the child is a caring person..."

He smiled very gently again, and said, "So, you get along well with her?"

Tan Mingli's heart skipped a beat, he clenched his fingers, and replied calmly: "Yes, it's okay. You know, I've always been very popular with children."

Tan Jingshan agreed with a smile.

He also instructed: "However, even if Brother Hong Liang doesn't know, we have to handle this matter well to show the attitude and dignity of the Tan family. Don't forget that there is Zhao Zhihua in Meishi, huh?"

Tan Mingli said: "Sister Zhihua came to Jiangcheng this morning to discuss with me. I think she should be quite satisfied with our approach."

Only then did Tan Jingshan really smile with satisfaction:

"Okay, okay! Mingli, you are getting more and more proper in doing things."

Tan Mingli smiled, but didn't respond, and just refilled the grandfather's cup with new tea.

After drinking a pot of tea, it was time for Tan Mingli to leave.

Tan Jingshan stood up, and while sending her out, he casually mentioned: "I heard that you gave the second girl a share?"

"Yes." Tan Mingli replied in a low voice.

Tan Jingshan said with a smile: "So, this Shen Qingzhou is also very expensive, isn't it? It's just a small company, is it worth a little bit of Tan's shares?"

Tan Mingli could hear the vague accountability from her grandfather's words, and explained softly: "I originally planned to give Ming Qing that little share, so it doesn't matter."

It was her compensation to Mingqing.

Tan Jingshan was stunned for a moment, and took a careful look at her, "I won't treat Mingqing badly, you don't have to give your own shares to..."

He suddenly fell silent again, "...Forget it, that's fine, it's also good that you have this kind of heart."

Before going out, the old man held her hand tightly, and he seemed to have a thousand words to say in his eyes, but he didn't say anything in the end.It was at this moment that Tan Mingli suddenly realized that the grandfather she had been fearing all along was very old.

He said, "Mingli, grandpa is sorry for you."

The heir of the Tan family can only be Ming Li.Only when Mingli is in charge can the Tan family be revitalized.Her ability can keep the Tan family building from falling, and her character can ensure that the children of the Tan family will not continue to be consumed by internal strife.

So he had to force Mingli, even though he knew his granddaughter's ambition was not in the mall, but in the peaceful daily life.

Tan Mingli didn't respond to his apology, her eyes were sore, she just said softly:

"Grandpa, go back, I should go."

Tan Mingli came out of Tan's house, drove to Tan's to get a pass and access control card, and then prepared to go home.

As soon as she got in the car and put on her seat belt, Tang Yan's video call was sent, and Tan Mingli picked it up, "Ayan? What's the matter? Why are you sending the video now?"

Tang Yan is still in Australia, resting in the hotel, she looks very happy: "Mingli! It's great that you are finally going back to the Tan family!"

Yesterday, Tan Mingli mentioned to Tang Yan that she was going to deal with Shen Qingzhou, so that her parents and seniors could withdraw their capital as soon as possible, so as to avoid further losses. He also talked about his going back to Tan's.

"When you go back now, you won't have to suffer all day long to be angry with your second uncle." Tang Yan defended her.

Before the Tan family fought among themselves, the one who plotted against Tan Mingli the most was Second Uncle Tan.

Tan Mingli didn't really care about this, but just smiled noncommittally, looking at the Donald Duck ornament on the car, feeling a little dazed.

Her previous car was like her house, with no decorations, so it looked very empty.

It was after Xiaoshui came that her house, car - and her heart were filled with love and sincerity.

It's full.

"I have something to tell you, Ah Yan."

Tan Mingli spoke softly.

"I recently fell in love with a girl."

Her face is calm, as casual as if the weather is fine today.

Tang Yan stayed in the video for a long time like a machine stuck, and then she jumped up in shock: "Huh?"

no?Help, did she hear correctly?What did Mingli just say?Is it because she has stayed in Australia for a long time and can't understand Chinese?

——What did Mingli say she likes just now?

Seeing her shock, Tan Mingli smiled slightly, turned his head slightly, and said with a relaxed expression: "What's the matter, are you surprised?"

Not only was she surprised, Tang Yan felt her temples jumping up.

Of course she's not a pedantic person, and it's not even that she didn't date a blonde beauty when she was studying abroad, but she really didn't expect... Mingli would like women one day.

Help!She obviously looks super straight! !

"Oh yes, yes, that was a bit of a surprise."

Tang Yan couldn't speak well, and she poured herself a glass of water with both hands and feet to calm herself down, and she still didn't recover from it for a long time, "You are so sudden."

She always thought that Tan Mingli was the kind of straight steel girl who wouldn't bend even if the sky fell, but Tan Mingli came out of the closet casually, her attitude and expression were so calm and natural, it seemed that her heart was big Earthquakes are homophobic.

Help, this world is too unreal.Is it true that the sentence is true, the world is not straight?Even if it has been straight in the past, it may not be straight in the future?

"Then who do you like, do I know you, where did you meet, is she older or younger than you, does she like you, are you two in love?"

Even if the world view collapsed, Tang Yan still had to support herself to ask gossip. The more she asked, the more energetic she became, her eyes lit up, "How is it, how is the progress?"

Although it was gossip, Tang Yan felt that no one in the world could reject Tan Mingli, and she had already begun to directly worry about the progress of their relationship.

"..."

Tan Mingli couldn't help laughing at her series of questions, and said softly, "Don't talk nonsense."

"What I mentioned to you before," she lowered her eyes unnaturally, "is... the child who lives in my house."

Tang Yan remembered.

oops!She said that when they met Mingli the last time, she always felt that there was something wrong with the child, and it turned out that something was wrong here!

She cupped her face and winked at Tan Mingli, "I'll go, Mingli, you can do it, real people don't show their faces, are they real people? Talk to your little sister as soon as you come up? How does it feel to talk to your sister? Isn't it sweet?" Um?"

Tan Mingli's heart sank, she lowered her eyelashes, and said softly: "No...Ayan, I have no intention of falling in love with her."

"She's not yet an adult, and she's still my junior...I can't be with her."

Tan Mingli's tone was very quiet, but there was a faint certainty in it, obviously a decision had been made.

ah……?Underage?

Tang Yan also fell silent, hesitated for a while, and suggested in a low voice: "Then...then wait until she becomes an adult, isn't she already in college, she must be approaching adulthood soon, you—"

"She is a child of the Zhao family."

Tan Mingli added softly.

There were too many people surnamed Zhao, Tang Yan was still a little confused for a while, and subconsciously asked: "Ah? What Zhao family? Which Zhao family?"

Immediately, she thought of Zhao Zhihua from Meishi, took a deep breath, and opened her eyes in disbelief: "Damn—it can't be, the one in Beijing?"

Tang Yan asked with difficulty: "Then does she like you?"

Tan Mingli nodded slightly, as a tacit consent.

This is the end.

Tang Yan started to drink water again, "That, that, that... this is really a bit difficult."

Not only was it difficult, Tang Yan wanted to take antihypertensive medicine for Tan Mingli.

It's really that Zhao family...

It's hell mode.

Alas, poor Mingli, miserable Mingli, the first bend was so long and full of twists and turns.

Mingli's condition is not good who he likes, she is gentle, beautiful, considerate and rich, and her older sister is at the top of the food chain in the Jiquan circle, standing on the street and casually hooking her hands, whatever kind of woman she wants and what kind of woman she wants, she is always the one who is willing to fall in love with her. kind.She still remembered how popular Mingli was with girls when she was in school, at least she had to gently reject seven or eight girls' confessions.

But she just likes people from the Zhao family.

If she remembers correctly, that child is the only direct descendant of the Zhao family's generation. I heard that the old man is in great pain and has been raising him himself. It is difficult for outsiders to meet him.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Tang Yan asked her.

She suddenly thought of something, put down the water glass and said in a daze, "Don't tell me, there is a reason why you want to distance yourself from that child when you go back to Tan's."

It was too cruel for that child.

Tan Mingli looked at her wrist, without saying a word, the golden rose flickering in the dark flashed again in her mind.

"Happy birthday, sister pear."

The flame was reflected in the girl's dark and clear eyes, and Tan Mingli could clearly see the undisguised love and nostalgia in the young girl's eyes.

She held up Xiao Shui's face in a daze, and gently stroked the gauze on the girl's face:

"The wound on your face...was it cut because of this rose?"

Zhao Guangshui nodded embarrassedly: "I was not careful..."

She asked a craftsman to make this golden rose. She only drew a sketch, but she also participated in a little bit. As a result, Shi Rong was injured when she looked at the tools curiously, and a small cut was made on her face.

……

Silly boy.

Tan Mingli hugged her into his arms, because otherwise she would let the girl see her weakness and wavering.

It is impossible between her and Xiao Shui.She already understood, didn't she?

When it is interrupted, it is disturbed by it, so what is it if this continues to be ambiguous?Is there any benefit besides letting the little water sink deeper and deeper, unable to extricate itself?

And the deadline she promised herself has come.

Tan Mingli raised her eyes, she was still the gentle and calm Tan family.She said softly: "Ayan, do you have a good man by your side? Push me over."

Tan Mingli kept his promise and never broke his promise.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

She comforted softly.

After hanging up the video, Tan Mingli sat in the car for a long time, propping his forehead, took a photo of his badge and sent it to Moments, with the words:

"came back."

She raised her hand to pick off Donald Duck and started the car.
