Chapter 218 opens Chapter 1800
The hall was empty and silent, and Cheng's father's shock, frustration, and inner turmoil were clearly visible on his face.
Tu Yao was taken aback, as if she hadn't heard clearly, and subconsciously took a step forward.
"What did you say?"
Mr. Cheng was clearly a little more awake, and he stared wide-eyed.
He confirmed, "Tu...Tu Yao?"
Under the lights, the girl looked exactly the same as she did two years ago, except that she had lost some weight.
It seems like... he's grown taller?
It really is her?!
Mr. Cheng murmured, "That's not right, I saw it with my own eyes... falling into the sea..."
Two years ago, after his fourth wife died, he kicked the child out.
Unsurprisingly, he was scolded by Uncle Cheng.
He had no choice but to send people to look for it.
The men he sent out failed to find her. A few days later, just as he was preparing to go to sea to meet his fifth reserve wife, he unexpectedly ran into Tu Yao.
At that time, Tu Yao had stolen a pile of pearls from the fishermen at the port and was hiding.
Just as he was about to intervene, he saw the child panic and plunge headfirst into the sea!
The seawater churned and swept the person away in an instant!
He quickly sent people out to sea to search for her, but Tu Yao seemed to have vanished into thin air and could not be found!
Cheng's father is a timid and cowardly person who doesn't take responsibility. For the past two years, he has kept quiet and hasn't dared to confess.
But unexpectedly, the person appeared right in front of him?
Mr. Cheng shook his head, trembling as he asked, "You...you're not a ghost, are you???"
Or was he hallucinating from drinking?
Tu Yao looked at him strangely, about to ask a question, when Cheng Sangsang hurried down the stairs.
Seeing this, he immediately pulled Tu Yao behind him and asked warily, "What do you want to do!"
Mr. Cheng froze, blinked hard a few times, and saw exactly two people in front of him.
Now he was completely sober.
Get up from the ground quickly.
He didn't have time to dwell on how Tu Yao was still alive or why she was in the old house. He turned to Cheng Sangsang and asked, "Did you inform your uncle?"
"Does he have time to attend?"
Cheng Sangsang: ...
Cheng Sangsang said irritably, "My uncle said it's up to you whether you get married or not, he doesn't have time!"
"I'm not free either!"
Mr. Cheng was a little embarrassed and said irritably, "It doesn't matter whether you're free or not, I'm getting married on the first of next month anyway."
"I'm getting someone to decorate the old house tomorrow, so don't you dare throw a tantrum and cause trouble, you hear me?"
Cheng Sangsang: "You!"
The first of next month?
Tu Yao was stunned.
Isn't that the day after tomorrow?
After Cheng's father finished speaking, he left. As he passed Tu Yao, he couldn't help but shudder!
This is unbelievable!
Well, she's alive, so be it. She's lucky to be alive.
Mr. Cheng quickly walked out. He was still smelling of alcohol, and as soon as he got into the car, he lay back in the back seat.
"drive."
The car quickly sped away.
In the darkness, a wisp of black mist swirled around the tires before quickly disappearing.
Inside the room, Cheng Sangsang's eyes were already red with anger.
With trembling hands, he pointed to the door, and after a long pause, finally managed to utter, "Tu Xiaomao, him! Is he sick?!"
Tu Yao wanted to nod, but she held back.
"He's insane! Does he think he's the emperor?!"
Tu Yao shook her head. No, that's not it. The emperor had three palaces and six courtyards. Cheng's father married one at a time, but he married eight in a row.
There should be more than eight in the original work; he never stopped doing so throughout those thousands of chapters.
"Does he even realize that because of him, our family is almost becoming the laughingstock of Hong Kong!"
"I know exactly what the Hong Kong newspapers will write these next few days, I hate them so much!"
As Cheng Sangsang continued cursing, her eyes reddened, and she plopped down on the sofa.
Tu Yao sighed inwardly, but before she could speak, Cheng Sangsang immediately interrupted her.
"Tu Xiaomao, you don't need to comfort me!"
She took a deep breath. "I'm used to it. Anyway, my uncle said he'll never change. Let him marry as many women as he wants, whatever!"
Tu Yao remained silent for a while before sitting down beside her.
That's not what I meant.
"I just wanted to ask, when did Xiaobai leave?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Sangsang froze, her eyes darting around: "Xu...Xu Bai?"
"Why are you asking him? He... left a long time ago."
"He ran away within minutes of you leaving."
Cheng Sangsang inevitably recalled Xu Bai's nonsensical words from earlier that day.
Her ears gradually turned red.
You stinky Xu Bai, what do you mean they're all idiots and destined to be together!
He's the idiot!
Tu Yao didn't notice the strange look on her face and continued to ask, "Then can you help me ask him if he's coming tomorrow?"
Cheng Sangsang was taken aback again, and bit her lip: "...Why do I have to ask?"
Tu Yao rested her chin on her hand: "Because I'll be very busy tonight, I'm going to write a proposal right away."
"I need to confirm the transportation route with the delivery guy, file the contract Xiaochi gave me, and calculate the initial investment for next year..."
She has a lot to do.
“Most importantly…” Tu Yao paused for a moment, “Xiao Bai is more obedient to you now.”
"...What do you mean by 'he listens to me'?"
Tu Yao patiently explained, "It means that if you ask him to come, he will definitely come."
Cheng Sangsang's face flushed red instantly, and she immediately jumped up from the sofa!
"No way! He won't come!"
"Tu Xiaomao, don't talk nonsense!"
She, Xu Bai, is a natural nemesis!
Although they could barely be considered friends over the past few months, their personalities clashed completely. She didn't like a single thing Xu Bai said, and of course, Xu Bai wouldn't listen to anything she said!
"...Unless the sky falls! It's impossible!"
Tu Yao pulled out her phone directly, "If you don't believe me, ask yourself."
Cheng Sangsang took it, bit her lip, and hesitantly uttered a sentence.
I'm Cheng Sangsang. Would you...would you like to come to my house tomorrow?
The next second, a word popped up.
Xu Bai: [Come on!]
Cheng Sangsang stared at the word, and suddenly felt her phone getting extremely hot. She shoved it back into Tu Yao's hand.
He retorted, "Let him take it or leave it!"
Then I got up and quickly ran upstairs!
Tu Yao couldn't help but laugh, but then she sighed.
I hope Xiaobai will be a little smarter tomorrow, so that Sangsang will be happier.
...
On the other side, Xu Bai was staring happily at his phone when he bumped into Xu Chi.
"Are you happy?"
Xu Bai nodded repeatedly: "Yes! Uncle, Little Curly invited me to her house tomorrow!"
Xu Chi glanced at the screen and saw Tu Yao's profile picture on the other side.
Xu Bai quickly explained, "Oh, Little Curly Hair sent it to me using Big Sister's phone!"
Xu Chi raised an eyebrow slightly, took a few steps, and then stopped.
How do you plan to get there?
Xu Bai quickly turned around, scratching the back of his head: "Let's drive there."
Xu Chi was unusually patient: "Drive there, and then what? When do you go? What do you do and what do you say when you get there?"
Xu Bai was stunned.
Xu Chi's patience ran out, and he turned and left.
"Wait! Wait, Uncle!!! Don't go yet!"
"Um... how are things between you and my older sister now?"
Xu Chi's eyes were slightly cold.
Xu Bai quickly waved his hand: "Uncle, I didn't mean to pry."
He rubbed his hands together sheepishly: "Well... is there anything you could teach me on the spot?"
Xu Chi glanced at him indifferently, "My situation doesn't apply to you."
"There's just one thing."
Xu Bai: "...What?"
"Maintaining superficial liking is simple; your health, quality, appearance... can all be factors."
Xu Bai frowned: "What if I want to move from the shallow layer to the deep layer?"
Xu Chi paused for a moment, then said calmly, "Cheng Sangsang's father is holding his wedding banquet the day after tomorrow."
Xu Bai was stunned. Little Curly's dad was getting married again??
A few seconds later, he suddenly looked up: "I understand, Uncle!"
"So Curly must be very unhappy right now! And he won't be happy tomorrow either!"
Xu Bai slapped his head hard. What was he so happy about?
The next morning, Xu Chi watched as a person and a car hurriedly drove away, and inadvertently clicked his tongue.
If this requires two-pronged support and takes another 1,800 chapters, it would be a misfortune for the family.
