On this day, Fairy Tale is still busy working
"Fairy Tale, someone is looking for you."
Li Ji had just returned from the front desk after picking up the takeaway food and told Tonghua about this.
"Who is it?" Tonghua was very confused. It was dinner time now, who would come to her at this time?
"The front desk said the man claimed to be your father."
Tonghua was just about to heat up her lunch in the microwave, but when she heard the news, she immediately put the lunch box down.
After a while, we reached the first floor.
I saw a man standing on the steps outside the building.
She walked quickly forward and saw that it was her father.
It was lunch time, and she took Tong Chengsheng to a restaurant near the company. He kept waving his hands to refuse, saying that he didn't need to eat and that eating in these places was too expensive.
But Fairy Tale didn't listen to him.
She walked to the ordering area and ordered two chicken rice bowls for the two of them. Seeing that his mouth was dry and chapped, she also ordered a bowl of soup.
Tonghua handed the soup to Tong Chengsheng, who gulped down a big gulp. After one gulp, the soup was almost gone.
I wonder how long he had been waiting outside the company and why he was so thirsty.
Tonghua immediately made him another bowl of soup.
Tonghua scolded him distressedly: "Dad, if you have something to talk to me about, you can just call me directly. Why did you come all the way here?"
"Actually, I just came here to see you, nothing else." He wiped his mouth.
He hadn't seen Tonghua for more than a month since she moved out. He wanted to call and ask about his daughter, but they had quarreled so badly before, and he was afraid his wife would be angry if she saw it.
So I could only take advantage of my half-day off today and secretly go to my daughter's company to see her.
"Dad, I didn't mean to not contact my family during this period. I'm just too busy."
Although a lot of things had happened since she got married and she had become busy, she was not so busy that she didn't even have time to make a phone call. She knew she was avoiding home.
After all, when she moved out, Tong Chengsheng's attitude really made her feel disheartened.
"I understand. Married people are like this. They should put their own family first. This is right. I don't blame you."
They all tacitly agreed not to mention the fact that they moved out. After all, some things would make no one feel good if they were said out loud.
"You've been married for so long, and I haven't even met my son-in-law yet."
He had only seen his son-in-law once briefly on the marriage certificate, with a serious expression on his face, but he had never met him in person. He knew nothing about his daughter's husband, nor did he know what kind of person he was.
As for his daughter, he admitted that he had neglected her a little, and even in some things, he was not a good father. But this did not mean that he did not care about his daughter. It was just that sometimes, he was caught in the middle and felt very embarrassed.
"He's very busy with work. I'll ask him to make time to meet you guys later." She didn't want to go back to that home for the time being. She was afraid that once she went back, it would trigger some bad memories.
"What does he do for a living? He's so busy that he doesn't even have time to go home?" Tong Chengsheng was a little disappointed. He didn't see him when he came here today, but there was nothing he could do.
"He's a company manager, different from the average person, and he often has to work overtime and travel on business."
"So where do you live now?"
"I live near the company, in Lantianchenyuan."
"Is he good to you?" Tong Chengsheng carefully asked the question he had always been concerned about. He owed his daughter too much in his life, and he hoped to have a son-in-law who could take good care of his daughter for him.
"Of course it's okay. If it wasn't, I wouldn't marry him." Tonghua pretended to be relaxed and didn't mention the fact of her flash marriage.
She knew that once she told it, her father would feel guilty because he was just an ordinary person with limited abilities.
In fact, her father was not bad to her. Every time she was scolded by her stepmother, her father would secretly comfort her, buy her delicious food, and also secretly buy her what she wanted.
Although he was not good at speaking, every time he comforted her, he would just repeat the same sentence over and over again: Girl, don't cry.
But Fairy Tale still felt greatly comforted.
After that, the two of them were silent for a long time.
Their relationship seemed to have always been like this. Every time they talked on the phone for a few minutes, they would run out of things to say and would end up hanging up in a hurry.
As they were eating in silence,
Suddenly, Tong Chengsheng said, "Girl, Dad can't help you with anything. You have to rely on yourself for everything."
"Dad, I know." Tonghua nodded.
From childhood to adulthood, her father instilled in her the idea that people should be independent and rely on themselves. Therefore, she studied hard, was admitted to a key university, and then relied on her own efforts to enter the current big company.
Although her family conditions are not good, she still works hard. She hopes that one day she can make a name for herself and have her own home.
"If, if he treats you badly, you can always go back home."
Hearing this, Tonghua almost burst into tears on the spot. Tonghua knew that he must have said this with great courage. She lowered her head to eat to hide the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes.
God knows how much she wants to cry and tell everyone about the grievances she has suffered over the years, but as an adult, she must be rational and can no longer cry like a child.
Tonghua understood that he was still trying to be a good father in his own way, but sometimes it was too late.
In order to divert the emotions that were about to burst out of her, she changed the subject and asked about the situation at home.
Tong Chengsheng: "Everything is fine at home, you don't have to worry."
Tonghua originally wanted to ask about the current status of her brother's engagement, after all, he was her brother who had lived with her day and night for more than ten years.
She also didn't know why the little boy who said, "Sister, I will protect you for the rest of my life," has become so selfish and willful. Regardless of the actual situation of his family, he must get what he wants, otherwise he will not give up.
Tonghua thought that if her father personally asked to help her brother today, she might do it, although her current savings would be a drop in the bucket.
But from now on, his brother will have to rely on himself. As an adult, he must have the ability to provide for himself. She will not and cannot risk her entire life to support a giant baby.
But now she could see that her father didn't want her to interfere in family affairs, which made her feel a little better, so she just pretended not to know.
After dinner, Tonghua called a taxi for him, but Tong Chengsheng insisted on going back by himself. Tonghua understood that it was too expensive for him to take a taxi, so he would rather take the subway back.
Fairy tales are not forced.
When she returned to the company, she was obviously in a low mood.
