Chapter 43

When Tan Li returned home that night, she met Wu Xiu, who was looking around at the door.

She stretched her neck and looked around behind Tan Li, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.

"Da Li is back." Wu Xiu was like a puppy with drooping ears, and even her smile was a little forced.

Tan Li knew what she was looking for, "Grandpa and grandma said they won't live at home anymore."

Wu Xiu paused, pursed her lips, and a tear flashed in her eyes.

Tan Li continued, "But, grandpa and grandma gave me a gift."

Wu Xiu's eyes lit up again, "What did they give you?"

"Cars," Tan Li took Wu Xiu's hand and walked into the room with her, "A lot of cars."

Aren't they a lot of cars? Tan Anguo is different from her. He doesn't buy things according to schedule. The way the old man spends money is called-all, all.

Whether it is the latest and limited edition models in the display brochure that cannot be seen in person, or all the luxury cars that arrived downstairs of the hospital in the afternoon, a total of 19 cars.

Tan Anguo waved his hand and bought them all.

He also said that if he saw a nice car in the future, he would buy one and send it to her in China, so that she could change cars every day without any worries.

Even Tan Li couldn't compare

to him in such generosity. Nie Huaiyi secretly told her that Tan Anguo loved cars so much that their home overseas couldn't even fit all the cars for daily use, viewing and collection.

Tan Anguo heard this and turned around to secretly tell Tan Li that Nie Huaiyi liked to play with flowers and plants. After she had raised so many precious species to death, her home was finally evolving into a botanical garden.

Tan Li was stuck in the middle and only felt that she was part of their play.

As they talked, they missed their home abroad.

They came back this time just to meet Tan Li, the granddaughter who was replaced. Now that they have met her and given her gifts, they are ready to go back. She

looks so carefree that she doesn't look like someone in their 70s or 80s.

However, before parting, the two elders also invited Tan Li, hoping that she could visit their home abroad for some time in the future.

Tan Li thought of some past agreements and said that she would seriously consider it.

Wu Xiu was happier than Tan Li herself to hear her say this, "Really? That means grandpa and grandma like you very much."

The water in her eyes turned into tiny starlight, "That's great, that's great, I knew it, our Dali is so good, anyone who sees her will like her."

Seeing that she was happy easily, Tan Li couldn't help but laugh along with Wu Xiu.

Wu Xiu and Tan Li walked hand in hand, and Wu Xiu talked to her in bits and pieces about some of the memories of Tan Anguo and Nie Huaiyi.

"Aren't your grandpa and grandma both very good people~" Wu Xiu raised her face, as if she was talking about her own parents proudly, "Like your grandpa, he's super awesome~ Our Tan family can live such a good life now, it's all thanks to your grandpa's hard work in the past~"

"And your grandma, do you know? Your grandma was a landlord's daughter in the past, very beautiful, very intellectual, and she was completely different from everyone else when she stood out~" "

Later, when she was working hard with your grandpa to build a career, she was also a very awesome iron lady, really, really amazing~ Mom really admired her~"

The tone of her voice made it hard to say whether she was like a child or telling a story to a child.

Seeing her dancing with her hands and even holding her arms tightly when she was excited, Tan Li couldn't help but exclaim with her, "So amazing."

"Yeah~" Wu Xiu's face flushed with excitement, "Dali can make your grandpa and grandma like it so much, it must be because our Dali is also very, very good~"

Although Wu Xiu is still not liked by the elders of the Tan family, she is very happy that her daughter can be liked by more people.

"Mom." Tan Li suddenly stopped her.

"Huh?" Wu Xiu turned her head and looked at her innocently.

Tan Li: "I think you are also very good."

Wu Xiu was stunned.

Although Wu Xiu is naive and ignorant of the ways of the world, you can even say that she is a little silly, but she is indeed sweet.

The guy who loves his sister said that sweet girls are invincible.

Only today did Tan Li have a slight understanding of this.

Whether it was the bedroom prepared for Tan Li, buying clothes for Tan Li later, supporting Tan Li unconditionally, transferring all of her shares to Tan Li, or even the blind date that left Tan Li speechless at the time, all revealed Wu Xiu's sincerity.

She may not know the best way to love someone, but she has made every effort she can.

She has been learning how to be the best mother for Tan Li.

Tan Li actually thought Wu Xiu was very good from the beginning, but she just didn't say it out loud. She didn't know if today's interaction with Tan Anguo and Nie Huaiyi affected her. Tan Li had a feeling that she could actually say some true words.

Just like before...

and there's no need to worry about the same bad ending as before.

Wu Xiu certainly didn't notice that Tan Li's words pressed and rose, rose and pressed again in her heart.

In the end, although it was difficult, Tan Li still said word by word smoothly, "You are very good, so you don't have to please anyone."

"Mom, I'm so glad that my mother is you."

In an instant, Wu Xiu felt her eyes getting hot, and the bitterness stuck in her throat turned into a sour taste at the tip of her nose.

She wiped her eyes quickly, "Mom too! Mom is also very lucky that my daughter is you."

Tan Li couldn't help laughing, "Cry, cry if you want to."

"But, but..." Wu Xiu tried hard not to let the tears fall, "But Dali, don't you dislike seeing your mother cry?"

When she said this, she still had a strong nasal tone.

Tan Li paused.

Could it be because of her previous voice that Wu Xiu was a crybaby?

But when Tan Li met Wu Xiu's eyes, she realized that it might not only be because of those voices she deliberately said to cover up her true thoughts.

Tan Li doesn’t like seeing people cry, and she doesn’t like crying either, for many reasons, but…

“It’s okay,” Tan Li didn’t know if she didn’t have the courage to speak her mind, or if she had a new idea, “Just cry when you want to, there’s nothing wrong with that.”

"Look, grandpa and grandma can do whatever they want, and they are living well now, more energetic than young people," Tan Li cited an example, "So, mom, I also hope that you can do whatever you want, and live a long life to accompany me."

"Wow."

Wu Xiu's eyes were like a tap that was turned on, bursting out.

Sad and happy.

"I, I... accompany... for... a lifetime..." Wu Xiu hiccuped and didn't give up talking.

Tan Li was amused by her look, "Okay, mom will be with me all my life."

...

"Waaaaaaa——" Wu Xiu really cried this time, and her crying could be heard in the huge villa.

"What's wrong!" Tan Pei's anxious voice came from far away, and he even lost one of his slippers when he ran over.

But he didn't notice it at all, slipped on the marble floor and fell, and twisted his ankle.

"Xiu Xiu, Xiu Xiu!" Tan Pei didn't care about his sprained ankle, and hugged Wu Xiu into his arms, "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

"Xiu Xiu, don't cry first, tell me what's wrong?"

As he said that, his knife-like eyes shot towards Tan Li.

"If you have anything to say, come to me! Don't touch your mother!"

Tan Li clearly noticed that there was fear in his eyes when he looked at her, but for Wu Xiu, he dared to face his fear.

And then——

"Why are you so fierce to Dali!" Wu Xiu punched him hard in the chest.

Tan Li stood aside with an innocent look on his face, but said, "Yeah, what are you yelling about, it's not a big deal to have a loud voice!"

Tan Pei:...?

Tan Pei was stunned.

Tan Li shook her hair, "Grandpa and grandma said that you have not been a good son, and you are not qualified to be a good daughter who obeys me."

"Stop quarreling all day long, this family is almost in turmoil because of you!"

This time, even Wu Xiu forgot to cry.

Tan Li pointed at Tan Pei and asked Wu Xiu, "Mom, what do you like about him? You have 800 ideas, but none of them are working."

"You..." Tan Pei was embarrassed by her daughter's words.

But before he could say anything, Wu Xiu opened her mouth first, "Your father was so handsome when he was young! He was the most handsome man around mom!"

Tan Pei:? ? ?

Tan Li: ...

"Hey," Tan Li slowly retracted her finger, "Then... Then there's nothing we can do."

After all, this is the most handsome man around Wu Xiu, so it's understandable that she chose him.

Tan Li put aside her doubts, but Wu Xiu didn't let go of her anger towards Tan Pei.

"Why did you just attack Dali!" Wu Xiu was so angry that her mouth bulged. "Do you know how happy I am that Dali is willing to tell me her true feelings for the first time? You attacked Dali!"

"You, you, you really are!"

"I was wrong!" Tan Pei admitted his mistake very quickly, not only to Wu Xiu, but also to Tan Li. "Dali, I misunderstood."

"I'm sorry."

It seemed like he meant something.

Tan Li smiled at first, and then -

"Why do we need the police if an apology is useful? There must be compensation, right?"

In fact, after spending an afternoon with Tan Anguo and Nie Huaiyi, two people who can say whatever they want, Tan Li was somewhat touched.

Since he could tell the truth to Wu Xiu, as his biological father, shouldn't he give the same treatment to Tan Pei?

Tan Li: "Compensate me for my mental damage, otherwise I won't let this go!"

Seeing Tan Li like this, Wu Xiu didn't hesitate for a second and chose a side directly.

"Yes!" Wu Xiu also stood beside Tan Li and faced Tan Pei with her, "Tan Pei, if you don't compensate Dali to make her happy today, then I won't live with you anymore!"

"Okay, okay," Tan Pei raised his hands helplessly, "Isn't it okay for me to pay?"

As he said that, he began to take out a checkbook from his pocket.

One, two, three, four... Eight zeros were filled up, and a check worth 100 million was handed to Tan Li.

"Da Li, it's Daddy's fault," Tan Pei stuffed the check into Tan Li's hand, "Dad is paranoid."

It was another hint.

But for the sake of the check...

Tan Li smiled and stuffed the check into her handbag, "Dad, really, how could I really be angry with Dad~"

Tan Pei saw her pretending to put on her usual mask, and for a moment he breathed a sigh of relief, but then a strange feeling flashed through his mind, which was very complicated.

Wu Xiu was immediately happy to see that the father and daughter had reconciled.

She seemed to have forgotten that she was still angry with Tan Pei just now, and happily took Tan Pei's hand, "That's great~ Dali is not angry with you~"

"Yeah, that's great," Tan Pei gently helped her tidy up the loose hair around her ears, "Wife, didn't you say you bought super delicious desserts?"

"Oh, that's right!" Wu Xiujing tapped her head after he reminded her, "I almost forgot."

"I wanted to eat with my parents, but..." Wu Xiu's eyebrows were lonely for a moment, and then he immediately cheered up, "I'll bring it over, and we'll eat together~"

As he said, he trotted to the kitchen.

Tan Li glanced at Tan Pei and was about to leave——

"Wait," Tan Pei stopped her.

Tan Li turned her head and looked at him in confusion.

"Your nickname..." Tan Pei seemed a little embarrassed, but he still said, "Can you not tell your mother?"

"I'm afraid she will be sad."

Tan Li didn't say anything.

Tan Pei suddenly felt that Tan Li's gaze on him was a bit oppressive and made him breathless.

But soon, Tan Li retracted her gaze, "Have you ever thought that my mother is not as fragile as you think."

"You isolate all the things that you think are not good for her. Is there a possibility that there may be something she really wants in those things?"
