cast a peach

Chapter 102 Sister

Zhao Guangshui started his sophomore year in September, Tan Mingli also returned to his daily work, and everything was still the same as before.

Now Tan Mingli generously placed Zhao Guangshui's photo in the center of his desk, and deliberately placed it in the most conspicuous place, for fear that others would not see it, wishing to show off his girlfriend to everyone who entered his office.

One of her great joys in Tan's now is when her close subordinates come to report to her office. Before leaving, they see the photo on her desk and subconsciously ask with a smile, "Is this your sister? She's so beautiful." At this time, Tan Mingli would become very happy, but she still had to pretend not to care, nodded lightly and then shook her head, saying um, she is very beautiful, but this is not my sister, but my girlfriend.

Then the subordinate was so startled that his jaw couldn't close for a long time, he bowed to her, and said stumblingly, oh, oh, that's very good, I wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years.

In fact, Jiangcheng's atmosphere is very open in China, and these executives are also well-informed people, so they wouldn't lose their composure in the first place, but——

Tan Mingli looked too straight.And hadn't she been married before?Suddenly falling in love with a girl now is really beyond everyone's expectations.

Tan Mingli looked at the document for a while, moved his shoulders and neck by pressing the center of his eyebrows, habitually wanted to make himself a cup of coffee, paused, and stopped unpacking the coffee bag, just poured a cup of warm water and put it on the table. to the table.

Just as she put down the water glass, she saw Tan Mingqing angrily opening the door and rushing in. She stepped on her high-heeled shoes and sat down in front of Tan Mingli, crossed her arms and crossed her legs, raised her chin high, and performed a series of movements Flowing clouds and flowing water:

"Tan Mingli, do you think you need to explain something to me?"

Tan Mingli was a little confused by her look of inquiring about the crime.

She pushed away the documents at hand, recalled the recent public and private affairs, and felt that she had nothing to offend Mingqing, just about to ask why, when she saw Tan Mingqing almost pulled her face to the ground, she couldn't help but smile , but not in a hurry.

She knew that if Tan Mingqing was really in a hurry, he wouldn't show his face. Now that she was like this, she probably didn't know where to provoke her again, and she wanted to come to find her to lose her temper.

From time to time, Tan Mingqing would angrily hit her like this, and she didn't know where she got angry.

But Tan Mingli was used to it, and found it very interesting—a kind of amusing fun.

Tan Mingli leaned back leisurely, with a smile on his face, "Explain what? Tell me, let me see if I know."

Her tone was gentle and calm, very familiar and natural, with a hint of coaxing a child. Tan Mingqing just felt comfortable, but soon realized this, and couldn't help but became even more angry, staring at her angrily:

"Oh, what kind of tone are you talking about! I'm convinced, do you think I'm a child?"

Tan Mingli didn't refute her, just laughed.

In her eyes, Ming Qing was indeed still a child.

Tan Mingqing was three years younger than her, and it was the time when she was at her most energetic. Speaking of which, she was actually not considered older, she was considered to be of the same generation as Mingqing, but her mood was much more mature than her peers, and Mingqing was awkward, so she looked at Mingqing I often feel like a child who has looked down on a generation.

Coupled with the fact that she has been with Xiaoshui for a long time, sometimes she would unconsciously use that deceptive tone on Tan Mingqing.

Tan Mingqing hates others treating her like a child.She ascended to a high position when she was young, and her ability was inevitably doubted because of her youth. Therefore, she especially hated being underestimated and looked down upon. She still had a smile on her face, but she would definitely keep this tone firmly in her heart when she went back, and she would return it several times in the future. .

But facing Tan Mingli, she couldn't show her temper at all.

One is that she knows that Tan Mingli is not belittling her, but she has a strange younger sister filter towards her, and thinks she is very cute; the other is that she really can't play with Tan Mingli—she is too smart; the third is...

Well, she admitted that, more or less, although she would never tell Tan Mingli this, she actually liked her cousin quite a bit—if she wasn't so annoying.

Tan Mingli is annoying right now.

But—forget it, Tan Mingqing sighed, put down Erlang's legs, and didn't get angry with her anymore, but her face was still stinky, "Hey, why didn't you tell me about your girlfriend?"

She only found out from her grandfather yesterday that her sister's little girlfriend was not someone else, but the child who had borrowed from her house before.

That is Zhao Zhihua's daughter and Zhao Hongliang's granddaughter.

When Tan Mingqing found out, her heart almost jumped out of fright.

In fact, she is a very indifferent person, and she has no sense of morality. She has no feeling for Tan Mingli's relationship with a girl. She also feels nothing about that girl when she is very young. In fact, even if her sister is really playing with minors, she will not say much. What, but once the Zhao family is involved, it can't be ignored.

She knew that Tan Mingli was bold, but she didn't know that she was so bold—she even dared to touch people from the Zhao family. Did she not know who Zhao Hongliang was?

Fortunately, Grandpa quickly explained clearly, saying that both Zhao Hongliang and Zhao Zhihua knew about this matter, and both agreed, so she slowly calmed down and let out a long sigh of relief.

But Tan Mingli didn't tell her that her girlfriend was Zhao Guangshui, but she was very angry.

She was the last to know about it!And she actually only knew about it from her grandfather.

Can this be tolerated?This is unbearable!Too much Tan Mingli!

Fortunately, she still... She thought that she and Tan Mingli were the best friends in the Tan family!

Tan Mingli blinked blankly - she didn't understand Ming Qing's anger.Is she so angry because of this?She just didn't tell her Xiaoshui's family background.

She told Mingqing that she was in such a good mood when she fell in love, it was purely out of the joy of sharing the happy event, and she didn't think of mentioning Xiaoshui's identity.

In fact, she didn't care too much about Xiao Shui's identity, so she didn't mention it.And after all, she still has a more western mindset, she just thinks this is Xiaoshui's privacy, since she is only sharing the joy of her love, there is no need to mention this to everyone, it seems like she is showing off.

But seeing Mingqing so angry, she couldn't help but reflect on herself, thinking that Chinese relatives might like closer ties, so she sincerely apologized:

"Sorry, I forgot, Mingqing. Can I make it up for you now?"

"..."

Tan Mingqing has always been soft and not hard, and seeing Tan Mingli's soft attitude and explaining to her patiently and gently, she felt a little uncomfortable.She lowered her head to look at the hem of her clothes, waved her hand, and whispered impatiently:

"I see...don't be so nice...you make me seem unreasonable."

They can't even quarrel, this is the most annoying thing about Tan Mingli.

Like a piece of cotton, it is unbreakable, and it is like still water flowing deep, as if it is always tolerant, never angry, and it moves a thousand catties lightly and skillfully.

It's like it was specially designed to beat her.

"So, are you serious? Are you going to have a good time together? It's not for fun, or to try something new?"

Tan Mingqing held back for a long time before speaking.

With the children of the Zhao family, she couldn't be thrown away casually. She was really worried about Tan Mingli.

Tan Mingli was taken aback by her words, and then burst out laughing.

She tapped the table lightly with her knuckles, and said softly, "I've never played before, Mingqing."

Her attitude towards relationships has always been serious and responsible, and she has never thought of playing like this.

Whether it was with Shen Qingzhou before or Xiaoshui now, once she decides to be together, she will go for a long time.Her time is precious and there is no reason to waste it.

"Then aren't you afraid?"

Tan Mingqing frowned.She didn't understand why Tan Mingli would do this, it was an investment that was too risky, "You know, if Zhao Hongliang disagrees with the two of you, I'm afraid—"

She didn't say any more, but both of them knew what she hadn't said.

Tan Mingli smiled softly, and his eyes fell on a small note on his desk.

Xiao Shui put it in her bag when she went to work this morning. Xiao Shui specifically told her that she could only read it after she got to the company.

She watched a movie with Xiao Shui last night, and she casually said "I feel a little sick in my heart recently", but she didn't care about it, but Zhao Guangshui immediately became serious, and asked her very seriously if she drank coffee again recently.

Tan Mingli has some arrhythmias. The doctor told her not to drink tea and coffee and other things containing drugs, and not to stay up late, but to work and rest regularly. The left ear goes in and the right ear goes out, and he nods his face steadily and agrees. After returning home, he can still drink coffee, and he will stay up late and work overtime when he is busy with work.

She calmed down a little after she lived with Zhao Guangshui, because Xiaoshui would control her, supervise her and tell her not to drink coffee, but she went to Hong Kong for a business trip a few days ago, Xiaoshui was not by her side, so she was in a hurry Being busy again, she secretly drank again, and she was very glad that Xiao Shui didn't know about it.

As a result, my heart is really uncomfortable these days, my chest feels tight and I have occasional palpitations.Tan Mingli thought, this is probably the effect of drinking coffee and staying up late in Hong Kong a few days ago.

Xiaoshui is soft-tempered, sensible and considerate, and never gets angry with her. Tan Mingli herself is also a gentle, patient and tolerant person, very good at communication and guidance, and treats her lover very well.

According to their tempers, they couldn't quarrel at all. They hadn't even spoken loudly during their relationship for several months, but Zhao Guangshui was really angry this time.

Why doesn't Sister Li take her body seriously?

She had clearly promised her that she would not drink coffee anymore, but it turned out that she was just coaxing her...

Tan Mingli could see that she was serious, and felt a little flustered for a while.

She can talk and laugh freely at the contract table of tens of millions, but when facing Xiao Shui, she has to be nervous, feeling a kind of panic and anxiety that she has never experienced before.

She immediately admitted her mistake, took the girl's hand, and said softly, "I'm sorry...Xiao Shui, I was at fault for this matter. I shouldn't drink coffee without listening to you. Forgive me, okay?"

"You don't count."

Zhao Guangshui was still very angry. He pursed his lips, not easily forgiving her, "You clearly promised me to drink less coffee and stay up late... And it wasn't my words, it was the doctor's words."

Sister Li doesn't take her body seriously, which makes her feel distressed and angry.

Tan Mingli thought she was cute when she was angry, and couldn't help but her tone became softer. She shook the girl's hand:

"It's my fault, Xiao Shui."

"I really don't know how to take care of myself. Without you watching over me, I can easily relax...so please help me, Xiao Shui, to take care of me, okay?"

She lowered her face and kissed Zhao Guangshui's forehead, sincerely and gently, and said softly, "Officer Xiaoshui, please take care of me."

Tan Mingli especially likes to call her "Sir Xiaoshui" when she lowers her posture to admit her mistakes or teases Zhao Guangshui.She knew that Zhao Guangshui had a thin face, so she couldn't hear her calling her that.

Sure enough, Zhao Guangshui's ears became red because of this title, and he couldn't get angry with her all of a sudden. He let out an "oops" and softly scolded her:

"Why are you like this...I'm talking about something serious, don't call me that suddenly."

She couldn't even get angry!Sister Li is really the most unlovable person in the world.

"I'm serious too."

Seeing that her face was no longer sullen, Tan Mingli knew that she was no longer angry, and her heart relaxed a lot.She opened her eyes and smiled slightly, "Don't you like me calling you that? I think you also..."

"Don't say it!"

A certain young officer became angry with embarrassment.

"Okay, I won't say it."

Tan Mingli laughed, and shook his head dotingly, expressing that he would put a seal on his mouth.

In the end, Zhao Guangshui confiscated all of Tan Mingli's coffee and forbade her to drink it.Tan Mingli was also very formal, and seriously wrote her a letter of guarantee, promising that he would never drink again, Zhao Guangshui was relieved.

In order to prove that she really changed her past, Tan Mingli invited her to visit the company to show her determination and innocence.

On the contrary, Zhao Guangshui was embarrassed: she didn't think she had any reason to go to Tan's.

That's right, it seems weird to go like this... Could it be that you are going as...uh, the chairman's girlfriend?

She couldn't help thinking of some strange plots in Mr. Ba's novels.

Seeing her blushing, Tan Mingli knew that she had lost her mind again, and pinched her fingers to bring her back to her senses.

Finally Zhao Guangshui agreed.On the one hand, it was because she was actually a little curious about Tan, and on the other hand, she also wanted to go to the place where Sister Li worked every day.

She has developed a new habit in the past few days, that is, she writes a small note to Tan Mingli every day, usually with a few short love words, sometimes a short poem, and a few stick figures ,very cute.

Tan Mingli likes it so much, the first thing he does when he comes to the office every day is to take a look at the little note that Xiaoshui gave him, and then he smiles for a long time, carefully pasting it according to the date In the notebook she bought specially, and then she replied to Xiao Shui.

If Zhao Guangshui didn't write one day, she would be very wronged, deliberately pretending to be pitiful, and asked her why she didn't write to herself today, and whether she didn't like her anymore.This made Zhao Guangshui helpless and funny, so he could only kiss her, expressing that he must write to her every day now.

Today is no exception, it is a beautiful love story.She found that Xiaoshui's writing of love stories is very distinctive, and it is a very pure and sincere beauty.She likes every word.

Tan Mingli's eyes softened when she touched the sticky note. She picked up the small note, looked at it carefully again, and put it away again.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in China any longer, can I?"

She smiled very gently, and made up for Tan Mingqing what she hadn't finished saying, "Even if you can stay, you must be unable to be my Tan Dong, right?"

"..."

The woman in front of her looked so calm that Tan Mingqing didn't know what to say.She looked at her for a while and said, "Isn't it?"

They are all smart, are excellent businessmen, know the stakes, and can easily predict the consequences.

"Yes."

Tan Mingli laughed.She stood up, walked to the tall floor-to-ceiling windows, looked down at the endless stream on Jiangcheng Road, turned around to look at her young sister, and said softly:

"But I don't care."

She only cared about whether Xiaoshui could be with her. For other things, if she lost it, she lost it, and it didn't matter.

Even if she could never set foot on this land again in this life, that was her fate.She will not regret it.

"Okay, Mingqing."

She saw that Tan Mingqing wanted to say something more, and stopped her next words with a smile, "I have already explained these words to Grandpa clearly enough, I don't want to explain them to you again, okay? I'm very busy."

"But there's one thing I thought I might be able to tell you too."

Tan Mingli returned to the desk, took out a stack of documents from the drawer, handed it to Tan Mingqing, raised her chin, "Open it and have a look?"

Tan Mingqing gave her a puzzled look, a bit strange, but obediently opened it up, glanced at the document, and then suddenly froze in place.

Her complexion turned pale in an instant, and she lowered her head and flipped through the pages in disbelief, her heart beating violently, and after the final confirmation, she stood there with a pale face and motionless, gritting her teeth and clenching her fingers.

"...What do you mean, Tan Mingli?"

After a while, she asked softly through her teeth.She felt herself go cold.

"That's what you saw, Mingqing."

Tan Mingli looked relaxed, looking at her tenderly and smiling, "Don't you like it?"

Like a fart!

Tan Mingqing gritted her teeth, almost swearing.

Tan Mingli, a heartless woman...

She really wanted to rush up and grab the collar of the woman in front of her and bite her, to shatter her mask of eternal gentleness and calmness, and it would be best to prevent her from showing this damned expression of strategizing and grasping wisdom again. See if her blood is as cold as her heart.

"You are really a good granddaughter taught by your grandfather, Tan Mingli."

Tan Mingqing lowered her face, the bones on her cheeks twitched slightly.She almost wanted to sneer, "What do you think of me? A dog that can be dismissed with a single bone?"

Tan Mingli was stunned, stood up, and said in surprise, "Mingqing..."

It's strange, Mingqing's reaction is completely different from what she expected.

She had thought she would be happy, but—

"What a Tan family daughter, isn't she?"

Tan Mingqing's long wine-red hair fell down, covering her face.She tried to sound a little meaner in her own voice—because she was almost on the verge of tears otherwise.

"Put away your things, I don't need them."

She took out a tissue to wipe away her tears, threw the document to Tan Mingli, and raised her chin proudly. It was still the thorny little Mr. Tan, "Goodbye, Tan Dong."

"Ming Qing!"

Tan Mingli took her hand and whispered anxiously. "I think you may have misunderstood something...I didn't mean what you thought. Really. I apologize if I offended you, okay? Huh?"

"It doesn't mean anything? Don't you mean that?"

Tan Mingqing snorted coldly, and wanted to withdraw her hand, but she couldn't do so, so she became even more annoyed.She lowered her voice and said in a low voice, "How dare you say you don't? Don't you think that if you are forced to leave Tan's, you will give me the shares in your hand?"

The document just now was clearly written in black and white, how could she not understand what Tan Mingli meant.

Tan Mingli was stunned for a moment, and quickly recovered.She whispered almost bewilderedly, "That's right—but don't you like it?"

She thought she would like it.Didn't Mingqing always want to be in charge of the Tan family?Why is she so angry?She doesn't understand.

The last inch of Tan Mingqing's heart also went cold, she snorted, stopped talking, turned around and left.

She figured it out, Tan Mingli didn't understand why she was so angry and sad at all.She doesn't understand at all.

Tan Mingli and grandpa are actually the same kind of person, she should have understood earlier, shouldn't she?Fortunately, she still thought that she was in the same way as her, how ridiculous.

She is always like this, she has no heart, so there is no resentment, no hatred, no heart-piercing anger, no deep-rooted hatred.There is always only the pearl of wisdom and thought in her eyes.

A woman as beautiful and flawless as white jade, a woman as cold-hearted as white jade.

Ah, no, maybe she has intentions, but that will never be given to her Tan Mingqing, only to that child Zhao Guangshui.

Tan Mingli and her grandpa seemed calm because of their rationality, but she was like a mad dog who has been driven by the hatred in her heart for so many years. She was fighting against her father, and now she is helping her sister. Once the fuel of this emotion is exhausted, she will not have the strength to fight endlessly in Tan's.

How could she be so stupid to think that Tan Mingli would be her kind?She and her were clearly different from the beginning.

She actually felt that she could accept this gift from her with peace of mind, and felt happy about it—even if her own sister's blood was stained on this share, she had no scruples.

In Tan Mingli's heart, she is really such a person, isn't she?She almost felt that Tan Mingli was using the shares to humiliate her.

"Mingqing..."

Tan Mingli was at a loss and called her softly.For the first time she felt powerless.

How things could have turned out like this, she didn't understand.
