Chapter 57 Bless Her

The banquet is almost over.

Fisher fish specifically came over to her and asked, "Mingli, do you want me to take you home? Or should I call a car for you? I see you drank a lot tonight."

Tan Mingli was about to decline politely, when she suddenly looked over Fisher Yu's shoulder and saw her second uncle was going downstairs, walking towards the two of them, she immediately stopped hesitating, smiled gently and nodded in agreement:

"Okay, thank you then."

She moved a little closer to Fisher Fish quietly, making them seem even more intimate.

"Mingli!"

The second uncle hadn't arrived yet, but Lang Xiao's voice came over: "Long time no see, long time no see."

Uncle Tan is over 50, but he doesn't look old in appearance, his hair is still very black, and he wears a pair of thin gold-rimmed glasses.He has a gentle and elegant demeanor. He doesn't look like a businessman, but a bit like a university professor. He often has a kind smile, and only occasionally when he raises his eyes from behind the lens will he show a sharp look.

"Oh," he took a close look at Tan Mingli, and smiled gently, "Our Mingli is really getting more and more beautiful, huh? Uncle can't even recognize him."

As he said that, he took out a small box with a smile and handed it to Tan Mingli: "Look, uncle is not considerate in doing things. You have been back to Tan's for so long, and I haven't had a good time with you. Say a few words In other words, if the old man hadn't held this banquet today, maybe the two of us would never see each other! Isn't it?"

Tan Mingli weighed the box and found that it was very light. It was probably a bank card inside.

She lowered her head pretending to be surprised, then raised her head uneasily, and declined: "Uncle, how could this Mingli want to..."

Second Uncle Tan didn't take it seriously, smiled and closed Tan Mingli's hand, patted the back of her hand, and said in a low voice, "It's just a greeting gift for my niece."

He laughed heartily again: "Mingli, if you don't accept it, uncle will be angry."

Tan Mingli sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to accept it hesitantly: "This...well..."

She took over what he said just now, and said gently, "You are too busy all day. It must be very hard to worry about the whole Tan family."

This is very suitable for Uncle Tan's appetite.He smiled and shook his head, "Hey, I'm just a part-time worker for everyone...Huh? Isn't it? Besides, don't you and Mingqing still exist? With you two here, I can relax a lot in the future .”

"Where," Tan Mingli said softly with a smile, "I'm new here, I don't know anything, I still have to rely on you, please continue to suffer."

She got a little closer to Second Uncle Tan, and whispered: "And you know... I have stayed at home for six years, and the major I studied in college is not related to managing companies. Recently, I am really a little—"

Tan Mingli paused for a moment, showing a bit of embarrassment, and then continued: "I'm in a hurry every day, it's all a mess."

Second Uncle Tan glanced at her suddenly from behind the lens, and the sharp light faded for a moment. The two continued talking and laughing for a while, and then he made it clear:

"Mingli, I've heard about what Mingqing did recently... Oh, what she did was wrong, I'm really sorry for you. Uncle apologized for her here, okay? After all, you are her my sister!"

He sighed and adjusted his glasses, frowning, with a look of distress.

"She's ignorant and has a big temper. Now that she's grown up, her wings are stiff. Uncle couldn't control her in the past, and you know it—now he can't do anything about her! Mingqing has offended you, and I hope you will do more. Forgive me, huh?"

In his words, he seemed to be guilty, but in fact he belittled. He was afraid that Tan Mingli would not be more angry with Tan Mingqing, and he would break away from the relationship and hide away. He was afraid that he wanted to drive Mingqing out of the Tan family immediately.

That's all, he still couldn't get rid of his hypocritical face, and refused to say it clearly, so he came here with her to pretend to be a loving father.

It's a good thing that Ming Qing ran away because of her anger, otherwise, when she heard this, she might have confronted her father face to face angrily.

Ah, maybe the second uncle waited for his daughter to leave before he dared to talk to her?After all, President Xiao Tan is quite famous in this regard, and once unceremoniously threw a beard of tea leaves on an elder of a clan who questioned her.

It was also thanks to Mingqing's precedent in this regard that it seemed so natural for her to be at odds with him.

Tan Mingli had thought a lot for a moment, and couldn't help laughing when he thought of this, but his face was watertight. After hesitating for a long time, he said softly:

"Then... for your sake?"

"it is good!"

Second Uncle Tan was very happy, and shook hands with her, "Mingli is still sensible. Let's chat with uncle and nephew again when we have a chance? Huh?"

Naturally, Tan Mingli had no objection, so she responded softly.

Seeing that the conversation between the two of them came to an end, Fisher Fish, who had been consciously avoiding the sidelines just now, spoke up:

"Mingli? Shall we go?"

Second Uncle Tan seemed to have noticed that there was another person here, he let out an ah, and asked with a smile, "I haven't asked for advice yet, who is this?"

He was obviously asking Fisher Fish, but his eyes were on Tan Mingli. He obviously didn't care about the identity of this man, but just wanted to find out about the relationship between the two of them.

Tan Mingli smiled shyly, and gently took Fisher Fish's arm, without pointing out, just said: "Friend."

Seeing her like this, Second Uncle Tan still didn't understand anything, his eyes rolled around the two of them, he laughed and said hello repeatedly.

It wasn't until Tan Mingli walked out of the hall side by side with the man that the smile on Uncle Tan's face slowly disappeared.

A man walked up beside him, whispered something to him, but he waved his hand away.

Isn't Mingqing happy to find her cousin again?

Hmph, a little girl who can't live without a man, a little lunatic who bites people everywhere regardless of the occasion... How could father value such two useless women?Incompetent bungler.In his opinion, these women should stay at home obediently and drag their children.

He ordered in a low voice: "Let our people open up a little bit for Tan Mingli, there is no need to guard against her like before."

The man hesitated, "This..."

Second Uncle Tan glared: "Go if you are told! Tan Mingli is much easier to deal with than my good daughter. Now you can't tell who should unite and who should deal with whom?"

After drinking away his subordinates, he became in a happy mood, and contemptuously took one last look at Tan Mingli's graceful back.

What about Tan's parents and daughters, Kong Kong has a good face, and it took him a month to figure out why he did a little trick.

It wasn't until getting into the car that Tan Mingli let go of Fisher Fish's arm, and smiled apologetically at him: "Fishe, I've bothered you just now."

"It's okay, it's just a small matter, and that's my pleasure." Fisher Fish blinked gently, asking her not to care.

Tan Mingli smiled and stopped talking.She knew that Fisher Fish was a smart person, and she understood that she just used him as a tool, and she would not ask her things that she shouldn't ask.

She sent a message to Tan Mingqing: the fish has been hooked.

After sending, she closed the phone and leaned against the co-pilot, gently rubbing the center of her brows, closing her eyes and resting.

Fighting and pushing and pulling with all kinds of people this night was extremely exhausting. Even she was quite tired, and after the end, there was a kind of exhaustion and boredom.

It would be great if Xiao Shui was here.

Tan Mingli thought vaguely.

There is no need for the girl to do anything, as long as you hold her in your arms and hold her quietly for a while, she should feel a lot more at ease, and regain her energy like charging.

"Mingli, you really have changed a lot."

Fisher Fish drove the car, speaking softly.

Tan Mingli smiled wryly when she heard the words, and didn't deny it, just said: "Yes."

In the past, where did she have the patience to endure dormancy, where would she spend all her time dealing with people, where would she be willing to associate with people she hated, and where would she subconsciously hold the hands of old friends, just to increase the opponent's love for her? belittle and ignore.

She would not push Xiaoshui away so resolutely.

She used to be so proud and arrogant, thinking that the world is in her hands, whether it is the academic palace or the glory of the world, even love is not worth mentioning in her eyes, as long as she thinks, she believes that nothing is her own. unavailable.

But after returning to China and coming to the Tan family, she realized that it was not like that.Not everything in this world can be done if you want to, happy ending is exclusive to fairy tales, regret is the norm, unsatisfactory and unsatisfactory are the truth of the world.

The world is like a net, you can't break free.

She lowered her eyes, looked at the imprint of the ring on her left ring finger, and said softly, "Maybe people can change, right?"

So Xiaoshui will probably change too. She believes in Xiaoshui's sincerity, but she also believes that Xiaoshui's obsession with her should only be a moment.

It is common for a young girl to fall in love with a gentle and considerate elder, and there is nothing wrong with it, she just needs some guidance, some hints... Xiao Shui will return to her original bright and splendid life, and she will look back on this when she becomes an excellent woman in the future She would just shake her head and chuckle disapprovingly, thinking that it was just a ridiculous love affair, an experience that could be brought up jokingly, just like the small mistakes that every teenager would make because of youthfulness and ignorance.

How do you say something?Even God forgives young people for their mistakes.But Tan Mingli is no longer young: she is almost 30 years old, and she has even been married once.She no longer has the right to be tolerated wrong, to be forgiven and forgiven.

Xiao Shui's life should be beautiful and bright, but she shouldn't be in her life.

It was just... a mistake made by accident.And she will personally correct and redeem this mistake.

Regarding this point, Tan Mingli is sure that she can do it.

"arrive."

Fisher unbuckled his seat belt and tried to get out of the car to open the door for her.

"Oh, Fisher," Tan Mingli laughed dumbly, and opened the door to get out of the car first, "No need to do this. Could it be that you watch too many TV dramas and want to imitate some British butler?"

Fisher Fish also laughed embarrassedly: "I thought you would call me a gentleman."

"You are already a gentleman." Tan Mingli smiled and shook his head, "Go back quickly, it's getting late."

Fisher fish nodded, hugged her gently, and said in a low voice: "Mingli, if you need me anywhere, just ask me, I will try my best to help you."

He let go of Tan Mingli, his gray-blue eyes flashed with a sincere and gentle light:

"No matter what you become, I believe that you are still the proud and bright little girl I first met."

"May God bless you with everything you want."

he said softly.

Tan Mingli was startled, and replied softly:

"May God bless you."

Going upstairs, Tan Mingli opened the door lightly, took off his coat and hung it up, washed and changed, and only then did he feel relaxed.

She stared at the mirror for a while, and felt that she seemed to have a little new fine line at the corner of her eye. She looked at it for a while before recovering, smiled self-deprecatingly, turned and left the bathroom.

How ridiculous, she never cared about her appearance before, but now she understands what she wants for Xiaoshui, even though she knows that there is no possibility for her to be with Xiaoshui, she still unknowingly develops a little bit of a woman who wants to please herself, worrying about this Can the face be able to seduce the little girl?

Xiao Shui didn't seem to close the door properly.

She paused, walked over gently, and grabbed the doorknob.

She was very tired today, and she missed Xiao Shui very much, and wanted to hug her gently or rub her hair.It's okay not to speak, but she is satisfied just looking at the girl's face for a while.

Forget it.

This is not good.

Tan Mingli stood at the door for a long time, then sighed softly, and closed the door for Xiao Shui.

May the Lord bless her with everything she wants...?

She didn't believe in Christianity, but at this moment, on such a lonely winter night, she couldn't help shaking in the center of hesitation.

What she wants most is not money, not power, but the girl in the room who waits for her day and night.Can that illusory god let her get Xiaoshui?If possible, she is willing to let go of all her pride and believe in Him sincerely.

If there is a god in the world... May He bless my girl to be safe, healthy, independent and brave, and not be at the mercy of worldly affairs and fate in her life.

Tan Mingli lightly made a sign of the cross on his chest, closed his eyes and prayed devoutly.

I also hope that she...would wake up from her love for me as soon as possible, and find the real good relationship that belongs to her.
