Fu Wenzhou, who was in front of Song Qingyou, had already walked far away with his arm around her waist, so he naturally didn't hear this sarcastic remark.
Tang Hanyan was a guest, and a distinguished guest from Linzhou, so Song Qingyou naturally couldn't be negligent. After being forcibly pulled along by Fu Wenzhou for a few steps, she stopped and said, "Miss Tang is still behind us. What would it be like if the two of us went in by ourselves?"
Fu Wenzhou said dismissively, "Who cares what she's doing? She came of her own accord, not because I invited her."
Song Qingyou sometimes really wondered how Fu Wenzhou managed to build such a large business for the Fu family. He didn't understand any social etiquette, acted as he pleased, and didn't care about anything. He didn't look like a businessman at all.
She said, "They are guests, so we should treat them with courtesy."
Fu Wenzhou raised an eyebrow. "What kind of guest is she... Fine, if you call her a guest, then she's a guest. I won't say anything more, don't be angry..."
He backs down halfway through his sentence; he's become incredibly adept at this routine.
Tang Hanyan, who was standing behind them, happened to hear Fu Wenzhou's words. She raised her eyebrows contemptuously, held her chin high, and, as if asserting her dominance, hooked her arm around Song Qingyou's and led her away from Fu Wenzhou.
After taking two steps, she turned to Fu Wenzhou, who was looking displeased, and gave him a victorious smile.
Fu Wenzhou suddenly felt a sense of crisis he had never experienced before.
Is this guy here to steal his wife?
He absolutely cannot allow this to happen.
Fu Wenzhou followed behind them, his eyes practically spitting fire, wishing he could stare a hole through Tang Hanyan's back.
It was already quite late. After settling the three people Tang Hanyan had brought with her, Song Qingyou went to arrange a room for Tang Hanyan.
"You'll be staying here tonight. The sheets have been changed. If you need anything else, just let me know."
Tang Hanyan shook her head: "No, thank you."
She is actually a very picky person and has severe bed-restriction issues, only able to sleep on silk sheets and blankets, but she didn't mention it. It was so late, she didn't want to disturb Song Qingyou's rest any longer.
"Meow~"
Tang Hanyan suddenly took a step back, startled by the shout: "You have a cat?"
Song Qingyou was puzzled, but quickly realized: "Are you afraid of cats?"
Tang Hanyan took two steps back: "Don't worry, I'm just a little allergic to cat hair."
The kitten seemed to really like the guest. When she tried to back away, it kept trying to rub against her, meowing softly.
When Song Qingyou heard that she was allergic, she frowned and bent down to pick up Zhouzhou from the ground: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were allergic to cats."
Tang Hanyan opened her eyes wide with curiosity. Her eyes were like a doe's, big and beautiful with a curved shape. There was no fear in her eyes, so she probably didn't dislike kittens, but was simply allergic to cat fur.
"It's very cute," Tang Hanyan commented earnestly.
Song Qingyou smiled slightly: "Thank you, it seems to like you very much."
Tang Hanyan was somewhat annoyed and disappointed: "Actually, I also really like kittens, but I've been allergic to cat fur since I was a child. We only have one large Tibetan Mastiff at home, so we can't keep kittens."
Tang Hanyan had always wanted to have a cat, but unfortunately, she couldn't because of her own reasons.
Unexpectedly, Song Qingyou had a kitten at home.
Tang Hanyan felt a ticklish sensation in her heart, wanting to touch it but not daring to.
Song Qingyou held the cat and said a few more words to her. After giving her instructions, she went upstairs, where there was a small dog that needed to be soothed.
Tang Hanyan closed the door with some regret, wondering if there was any medicine that could treat allergies.
She sighed softly, and just as she sat on the bed, her phone rang. She glanced at it and answered, "Dad."
Tang Songwen's voice was deep and powerful, yet his tone was very kind: "How is my darling? Are you settling into life in the capital?"
Tang Hanyan idly played with the alarm clock by the bed: "Is there anything I'm not used to?"
Tang Songwen asked, "Why didn't you stay at the hotel I booked for you?"
Tang Hanyan: "I don't want to go. I'll stay with Song Qingyou."
Tang Songwen paused for two seconds before speaking, his voice tinged with melancholy: "Is she...is she alright?"
"Oh no!" Tang Hanyan said, "Dad, she's being bullied."
Tang Songwen's expression immediately turned serious: "What happened? Who bullied her? Weren't those people from the Song family all dealt with?"
Tang Hanyan snorted: "I arrived in the capital this morning and heard a lot of rumors. Then I asked Tang Yi to investigate, and guess what? That shameless Song Ning actually wanted that bastard to go back to the Song family and fight with Song Qingyou for the family property. Ha, what is Xu Qingran? She doesn't even deserve to compete with my sister."
Tang Songwen frowned and said, "It was your father who owed her back then, so don't talk about her like that."
"Dad! Am I wrong?" Tang Hanyan retorted defiantly.
Tang Songwen sighed: "If I hadn't been drunk back then, she wouldn't have gotten pregnant. I was wrong about this, but it's absolutely unacceptable for them to bully Qingyou. I'll go to Beijing after I finish negotiating the contracts here in the next couple of days."
Tang Hanyan declined, saying, "Please don't come over for now."
Tang Songwen was eager to see his daughter, whom he had been separated from for more than 20 years. Ever since he finally found the whereabouts of the stranger from back then, he dreamed about his daughter every night, wanting to make up for the love he had missed for so many years.
For this reason, he specially postponed his subsequent work and asked Tang Hanyan to come to the capital first to investigate the situation under the pretext of a marriage alliance.
"Why?" Tang Songwen asked.
After a moment of silence, Tang Hanyan said, "We are too unfamiliar to my sister; we are family members who have been absent for more than twenty years. She was already very disappointed with the Song family and with Song Ning and Xu Qingran. If we rush to reunite her now, she may not be able to accept or be willing. Dad, give my sister some time. I want to stay in Beijing for a while longer to build up our relationship and find out what she thinks. If she is very resistant to us, I think... the reunion may have to be postponed."
Tang Songwen was somewhat stunned and moved: "My Ruru has grown up."
Tang Hanyan put the alarm clock back in its place: "I'll call you when the time is right."
"Okay," Tang Songwen said. "Remember to take lots of pictures of your sister and send them to Dad."
Tang Hanyan smiled and said, "I know, Dad. If you want to see it, you can come and see it for yourself in the future."
Tang Songwen sighed again: "We owe her too much. These past few days, Dad has been thinking about what to do if she doesn't want to come back or acknowledge me as her father."
Tang Hanyan said irritably, "Why should she acknowledge you? What have you been doing all these years? You can't even find your own daughter. If you really feel indebted, you should treat her even better in the future."
Tang Songwen immediately reflected: "My dear daughter is right. Dad understands."
