Su Mei noticed the subtle glint in her eyes and thought of her adoptive mother: "I'll go back with you."
"good."
In the past, not fully trusting Su Mei, he naturally never brought her home.
Things are different now.
So, she can tell Tang Yujiao that she and Tang Yujiao are sisters.
Pei Jin asked, "Brother Yao, shall I wait for you at the door?"
"good."
Half an hour later, we arrived at Tangjia.
Tang Yaoyao got out of the car and walked at the front wearing sunglasses. Her steps were light and her temperament was elegant and beautiful. She had an indescribable aura that attracted many people to turn their heads.
This is a villa area. Many people have watched Tang Yaoyao grow up since she was a child, and they also know that she used to suffer from depression and rarely went out.
At this moment, the way people looked at her changed, and they felt a deep respect for her.
Not only did she recover from her illness, but she also emerged from her past grief. Although she is not a household name, her career is slowly picking up.
Tang Yaoyao arrived at her doorstep and stood in front of the security camera.
Soon, the door opened.
Su Mei smiled and said, "Is this facial recognition?"
"Um."
I changed my shoes and just stepped into the living room.
Then I heard the sound of the television, which was playing my father's favorite financial channel.
She looked up and saw her father asleep on the sofa.
Suddenly, I remembered that news of her massive hemorrhage had spread. During the week she was resting, her father called almost every day to check on her and wanted to see her.
She was in poor health and didn't want her father to see her, but now that she's healthy and active, she wants to see him.
Lost in thought, Tang Yaoyao glanced back at Su Mei and Zi Yi, put her index finger to her lips, and gestured for them to be quiet.
After that, she tiptoed over, picked up the suit jacket her father had taken off, and gently bent down to cover him with it.
It was meant well, but I never expected to wake him up.
Tang Shengze stirred and opened his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot and somewhat gray. Time waits for no man; the whites of his eyes were also yellowish. He must have been very tired over the years.
Upon seeing Tang Yaoyao, his expression seemed to come alive again, as if he had been given a fresh new look: "Yao'er, you're back?"
"dad."
Tang Yaoyao's voice is very gentle.
Tang Shengze was delighted and nodded. Only then did he notice the two people standing beside him and asked, "Are these your friends?"
Tang Yaoyao introduced, "This is my agent, Su Mei."
"Hello, Uncle Tang," Su Mei greeted sweetly, her gaze respectful.
Tang Yaoyao added, "This is my bodyguard, named Ziyi, who protects my personal safety."
Zi Yi nodded very formally, exuding strength and giving the impression of being a very reliable man.
Tang Shengze stood up and said, "Please sit down, don't stand. Don't be so formal. There's fruit here, take whatever you want to eat."
"Thank you, Uncle Tang. Please don't be so polite. We're good friends with Brother Yao. We're just glad we haven't bothered you."
Tang Shengze was taken aback by her form of address.
Brother Yao.
But then it dawned on me that many people online call Yao'er that, which is probably a friendly nickname.
"Alright, alright, I'll have your mother tell the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes for lunch today," Tang Shengze said, his usually serious expression now filled with gentle joy.
Su Mei: "No..."
Tang Yaoyao quickly interjected, "Okay, Dad, I want braised pig's trotters, black-boned chicken stew with mushrooms, cold crucian carp salad, dry pot rabbit, and bamboo shoots. Mom can arrange the rest."
"Okay, tell your friends to sit down."
"Mmm." Tang Yaoyao tilted her head back, her smile sweet and obedient.
Tang Shengze then went upstairs.
Tang Yaoyao took an apple, peeled it, and proudly asked, "Do you think my dad is handsome?"
Su Mei thought back for a moment and realized that Tang's father was indeed handsome and approachable, exuding a fatherly charm. She nodded and said, "He's very handsome, but Brother Yao, it would be too much trouble for us to stay for dinner."
"Didn't you say you wouldn't be polite? Let me introduce you to my mom and sister. Besides, my sister is also in the industry, so we might run into each other again in the future."
"That's true. Let me use my discerning eyes to see what kind of person your sister is."
Tang Yaoyao nodded, then looked at Ziyi who was standing motionless to the side and handed him the apple: "Don't stand there, come sit down and eat this apple. It's a sugar apple, super sweet."
Ziyi looked at her and felt that her smile was very sincere. Her hands were small, not even as big as an apple, but she held them very steadily.
Seeing that he didn't move, she offered it to him again: "Hey, it's really sweet."
Ziyi was used to being ignored by her employers, so when she suddenly encountered someone so enthusiastic, she was a little stunned and didn't know whether to accept the offer or not.
Tang Yaoyao simply stood up, walked up to him, took his hand, and placed the apple in his palm: "I know you're a bodyguard brother, and you have to maintain a cool and aloof demeanor at all times to be intimidating, but now, in my house, you don't need to be so detached from worldly affairs, understand?"
Ziyi looked at the peeled apple in her hand. It looked delicious, but she remained frozen.
"Eat?" Tang Yaoyao blinked.
After a long pause, Zi Yi said, "...I haven't washed my hands yet."
Su Mei, sitting on the sofa, burst out laughing and almost choked on the apple crumbs. She then teased, "Brother Ziyi, a little dirt won't hurt you. Besides, your hands are righteous, they're not dirty."
Perhaps it really does follow the saying, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do," or "When you marry a chicken, follow the chicken; when you marry a dog, follow the dog."
Ziyi didn't say much, but sat down on the sofa and ate an apple.
Tang Yaoyao realized at this moment that after he sat down, he lost the intimidating aura that made people want to avoid him, and all that remained was a refined and noble air.
Even when he's eating an apple, he's very polite. When he's fighting, they're completely different people.
Sure enough, the bodyguard is human too. After letting his guard down, he became much gentler.
Just then, I heard footsteps coming downstairs.
Just as Tang Yaoyao was about to ask Ziyi something, she saw him pull out a few tissues, wrap the remaining half of the apple in them, put it in his pocket, and stand up with lightning speed.
Standing right next to Tang Yaoyao, in just an instant, that domineering and cold aura returned.
For some reason, Tang Yaoyao suddenly felt a pang of heartache.
Or perhaps, it's out of sympathy for his dedication and constant vigilance.
I also felt sorry for how carefully he wrapped the apple, as if he were protecting something precious.
For her, it was simply fulfilling her responsibility as the lady of the house, peeling apples for him and Su Mei.
But for him, this was the first time he had been treated this way by his employer.
Tang Yaoyao moved her lips: "Brother Ziyi".
He looked at her, his eyes serious, as if waiting for her to give him instructions.
For a moment, Tang Yaoyao was speechless, and could only smile slightly.
She was somewhat puzzled; where did this feeling of familiarity come from?
"Oh, Yaoyao is back."
