Daddy Academy

Chapter 1078 Lovers Can't Be Together

Li Xiaoxiao came back suddenly, and Lao Li was overjoyed, but on the surface he pretended to be calm and indifferent.

It's just that when he didn't leave after listening to Li Xiao's novel, he finally couldn't control himself, couldn't stretch himself anymore, and jumped up from the chair with a snappy movement, like a wild goose falling on the sand. figure.

Lao Li couldn't figure it out, why did his daughter suddenly figured it out, she had been abroad for a month, but she came back without saying a word.

He quickly reacted and wondered if his daughter had encountered some huge setbacks abroad, such as career Waterloo, such as emotional trauma.

Thinking of emotional problems, Lao Li couldn't help but glance at Zhang Tan who was on the side.Before, I asked Zhang Tan to have a heart-to-heart talk with Xiaoxiao to learn about Xiaoxiao's emotional life, but after that there was no news, even he himself forgot.

It's not that he doesn't care, but that while asking Zhang Tan to come out, his wife also had a heart-to-heart talk with Xiao Xiao, it's the kind of mother and daughter behind closed doors.

He couldn't get involved, and only heard from his wife that Xiaoxiao was not in a relationship. He had been busy with work and various judicial examinations abroad, immersed in various cases, had no time, had many suitors, but was always single.

Li Xiaoxiao is a lawyer with a license to practice, and mainly helps Chinese people represent various legal disputes overseas.With outstanding abilities, she founded a small law firm with a group of like-minded friends when she was in college.

At first, the firm was unable to receive business, but by chance, it represented a case of a Chinese student studying abroad, and gained a reputation in a small area.The relatives of this international student have a lot of influence in the local Chinatown. In order to express their gratitude, they introduced many businesses to them.Although most of them are trivial disputes, they are also very challenging, especially for legal practitioners like them who are still in school and have no practical experience. It just happens to be very suitable for them.

In these complicated cases, they got a lot of training, gradually became famous, and began to receive some bigger legal cases. After graduation, everyone naturally joined the firm full-time and devoted themselves to legal work.

"All work matters are handed over to other people. I will gradually let go and focus on domestic affairs in the future." Li Xiaoxiao said.

As soon as his daughter came back, it was inconvenient for Lao Li to ask more questions, so he asked her to go home and rest.He sat back in the chair again, half lying down, leisurely, not planning to send his daughter home.

Zhang Tan smiled and said, "Xiao Xiao mentioned such a big suitcase, won't you help? Go home, I will guard here tonight."

Old Li glanced at him nonchalantly, waved his hand and said, "Put the suitcase here, I'll take it home after get off work."

"It's not heavy, I'll take it myself."

Li Xiaoxiao dragged her suitcase and left, and the onlookers followed her one by one, asking questions, asking this and that, curious about where she came from, whether she could sit in the handjob, and was about to go out, behind her Lao Li's roar sounded.

"Don't go out!! Come back—"

Li Xiaoxiao stamped his feet and looked back, thinking it was her who was calling.

At her feet, the Guawazi came out hand in hand, turning a deaf ear to Lao Li's shouts.

did not hear!

did not hear!

So what if you heard it? !

They are quite confident, really not calling them ducks!
Seeing that they were still running away, Lao Li pretended not to hear them, and shouted even louder: "Those little ones, stop! Don't go out!"

Li Xiaoxiao smiled, and turned her head to look at the nest of melons that slipped away from her feet.

These little guys quickened their pace, feeling guilty.

She reached out and grabbed the last one, which happened to be Liuliu who was pretending to be fine.

Liuliu: (｀Д)!!
"Don't go out, it's dark outside."

"Huh? Miss sister, did you catch the wrong person?"

Liuliu was stunned, pretending to be stupid and in a daze, her ability to adapt to changes was outstanding, and she was a big swallow.

She saw that Xiaobai had gone out with other friends, only she was caught at the end of the crane, and she was a little annoyed. Why was she always the one who got hurt?
Dudu teased Lao Li before, but Lao Li couldn't catch Dudu, so he caught and beat her, and made her angry and aggrieved for several days.

"Don't go outside." Li Xiaoxiao caught up with the other melons and called them back.

"Run Duck—"

Someone yelled, and the Guawazi immediately dispersed and fled.

Zhang Tan and Lao Li also chased them out.When Zhang Tan passed by Liuliu, he gave her an annoyed look, and said to her with an innocent expression on her face: "Stir up the flames, eat melons and make a fuss!"

Liuliu shook her head with a pure face, expressing that she didn't understand and didn't know what Boss Zhang was talking about!It seemed that the voice just now didn't come from her small mouth at all.

She shut her mouth tightly and stood obediently. Her fleshy body was straight and she looked really cute, but her expression was excited and she was eager to try. She watched the little friends outside escape and cheered them on excitedly.

"Come on dudu~~dudu, chubby-6666 duck~~Cheng Cheng, aren't you a little rabbit? Why did you get caught, hurry up and bite Boss Zhang~~~Xiaobai, Xiaohuahua, Hurry up and save Xi'er Ya, she is about to be beaten to death by Li Baibai..."

Xiaobai was caught in the academy, and Xi'er was also taken in... The children were all arrested one after another, and the operation to leave the garden failed completely!fiasco!

"Liu Liu, keep shouting, why don't you shout? Aren't you gloating and fanning the flames?"

Zhang Tan angrily yelled at Liuliu. Although this little guy failed to sneak away, he stood in the yard and yelled, disrupting the situation.

Liuliu refuses to accept it, but she doesn't have the guts to fight against Boss Zhang. First, she can't beat Boss Zhang, second, she can't run away from Boss Zhang, and third, she can't stand Xiao Huahua's flower-arranging feet.

"()**&...&...￥...%#%￥"

Although you can't be explicit, but you can always learn how to speak secretly.

"What do you mean? Liuliu." Zhang Tan's expression was unkind, and now whenever he heard this kind of baby language, he would automatically translate it into scolding words automatically.

"Hohohoho~~~~ Let's go dig the sand! Xiaobai!"

The durian was bouncing around, knowing that there was nothing to be done, so he ran away quickly, and he might be beaten if he stayed here.

-

Lao Li was finally persuaded by Zhang Tan to go back, dragged Li Xiaoxiao's suitcase, and walked with Li Xiaoxiao on the gravel road home, the footsteps were rattling, and the reflection under the street lamp was extraordinarily brisk.

That night Zhang Tan guarded the gate of the little red horse, until twelve o'clock in the night before sending Xiao Jun away, he was the last child to leave.

Xiaobai and Xi'er watched cartoons at home, yawned again and again, and waited until he got home before going to bed.

On the third day after Li Xiaoxiao came back, Zhang Tan had the chance to ask her what happened. Why did he really come back?
The two were sitting idle in a quiet bar on West Chang'an Street. Li Xiaoxiao ordered a low-alcohol cocktail, while Zhang Tan drank orange juice.

"You really don't want some of this? I remember that you used to like to drink very much, and you have a good capacity for alcohol." Li Xiaoxiao asked, flicking the cocktail glass on the table. There were ice cubes in the glass, and the color of the wine was amber.This cocktail is newly developed by the bartender and tastes a bit like rice wine.

"I'm going to pick up Xiaobai from school later." Zhang Tan said, and immediately asked, "What? Did you really give up on this relationship?"

Li Xiaoxiao looked down at the cocktail glass, and pondered: "It's not a relationship, it's just a one-sided liking. We've been together for so long at work, and I'm a little nostalgic, but it's good to think about it."

"Have you made it clear?"

"Why are you so gossip!"

"It's okay not to say, this time you pay the bill."

"Okay, okay, let's be clear, he doesn't feel that way about me, okay. You won't report to my parents, will you?"

"I'm not that gossip. Oh, by the way, why doesn't he have feelings for you? You're pretty."

"Thank you, you actually praised me for being good-looking! Didn't you always say that I look like a tablet computer?"

"I'm mature and my aesthetics have improved. Now I think you are so good-looking. Don't talk about it, talk about you, why don't people have feelings for you?"

"Maybe after staying abroad for a long time, I like the kind of big breasts and wide buttocks."

"I suspect you're alluding to Berry."

……

Li Xiaoxiao lied.

One afternoon a week later, a young man found Little Red Horse Academy and wandered around the gate.

It happened that Lao Li wasn't there that day, so Zhang Tan took Xiao Bai and Xi'er to play football in the yard.Zhang Tan personally entertained the other party.

Zhang Tan recognized it at first glance, this is the object of Li Xiaoxiao's crush.

The other party also recognized Zhang Tan, and combined with the signboard of Little Red Horse Late Night Academy, he deduced Zhang Tan's identity.

"Do you have time to chat?" The other party offered to propose.

Zhang Tan invited the other party to come in and sit down, and asked Xiaobai and Xi'er to go to the comic studio to find Xin Xiaoguang to watch cartoons.

He moved out of Lao Li's chair and small coffee table, made tea, and poured a cup for himself and the other party.

"You know me?" Zhang Tan asked, looking at him closely.This is a handsome man of mixed blood, with a high nose and a well-defined face. No wonder Li Xiaoxiao has a good impression of him.

The other party nodded and said, "After seeing you and Xiaoxiao's photos, you should also recognize me, right? My Chinese name is Weng Zhong."

Zhang Tan picked up his teacup and took a sip. The afternoon sun was shining brightly, the cool breeze was blowing in the grove, and the leaves were rustling, making him very comfortable.He finally understood why Lao Li always liked to sit in the yard so idle.

"You just came back from abroad? Did you come after Xiaoxiao? Or did something else just happen to happen?"

The other party also imitated Zhang Tan, took a sip of the tea, maybe it tasted good, then drank the tea in one gulp, put down the cup, and picked up the teapot to fill it up.

"I just got off the plane and came directly from the airport. I have nothing else to do, just want to see the place where I grew up and lived."

Zhang Tan felt that both he and Li Xiaoxiao were weird.His intuition told him that Li Xiaoxiao lied to him that day, not because the boy didn't have feelings for her, but because there were other reasons.

"I heard Xiaoxiao mention your matter. You are classmates in university. You studied together, started a business together, and established a law firm. From an unknown person to a small celebrity, you are now famous in the local area. Your future is boundless."

Weng Zhong said with a smile: "Unlimited is overrated, and it is not my personal credit, but the result of our collective efforts. Although Xiaoxiao is a woman, she is very decisive, quick in thinking, quick in response, and outstanding in ability. core of it."

"you like her?"

Zhang Tan looked straight into his eyes.

He was not afraid, did not dodge, nodded and said yes.

He immediately added: "About half a month ago, it was a weekend. After finishing our day's work, we celebrated the successful conclusion of another case. As usual, if we won the lawsuit, we would barbecue and drink in the yard, chatting and relaxing. Everyone was very excited that day, looking forward to the future and thinking about the future. The sky was getting late, and the sunset was hanging in the sky, and everyone returned happily. Xiaoxiao stayed until the end, stopped me, and suddenly opened her heart and told me her emotions. She likes I have been for many years! At that moment, I felt that I was the happiest person. You know, when the girl you like suddenly confesses to you, telling you that she likes you for a long time, this kind of happiness is doubled. I thought , we are such a perfect couple, we complement each other and support each other at work, we have many things in common in life, and we have liked each other for a long time emotionally..."

Zhang Tan listened quietly, and echoed, "It sounds like a beautiful love story."

After speaking, he felt a little strange, looked up towards the studio, the sun was shining on the gate, and there was no one there.

However, when he raised his head slightly again and looked at the balcony on the second floor, he discovered the clue.

The two little ones stood on the balcony, looking at him with binoculars, laughing and laughing.Seeing being discovered, Xiaobai quickly squatted down to hide, while the other Tan Xier kid was jumping up and down excitedly, waving at him, as if he was afraid that he hadn't noticed, until his pants were pulled down in the dark, then quickly squatted down and put himself hide.

"But it didn't end well."

Weng Zhong's bitter voice sounded in his ear.

Zhang Tan looked away, and in the next chat with Weng Zhong, he gradually realized that Li Xiaoxiao had lied that day.

It's not that Weng Zhong didn't accept her, in fact Weng Zhong was also interested in her.

The two hit it off.

But after they talked openly, they found a contradiction that was difficult to resolve.

Li Xiaoxiao hopes that the two of them can return to China to develop. She can't let go of her aging parents, but Weng Zhong can't do it.

Weng Zhong's family is abroad. He is a second-generation immigrant, the only son in his family, and he cannot abandon his parents and "go abroad".

This is the biggest obstacle between the two.

Lawyers are always good at analyzing problems rationally, even if they are emotional.

In the end, Li Xiaoxiao decided to let this relationship end without a problem. Between love and family affection, she chose family affection.

Although Weng Zhong was sad, he respected her decision.

The next day, Li Xiaoxiao returned to the country without saying a word, without saying goodbye, so decisive.

Weng Zhong couldn't let go, so he chased after him.

He originally planned to meet Li Xiaoxiao again, but after talking with Zhang Tan, he changed his mind, maybe it wasn't necessary.

Since you can't give the other party the result you want, it's better to be less affectionate, for yourself and her.

"I often think, if I stood in a small position, how would I choose? Love? Family affection? In all fairness, I would make the same choice as Xiaoxiao. Our parents gave us flesh and blood, how could we abandon them and go to other countries? I can't do it, so I understand Xiaoxiao very well."

Zhang Tan lamented their relationship, regretting that lovers could not be together.

"Stay for one night first, calm down, think carefully, and make a decision tomorrow."

Weng Zhong said gratefully: "Thank you, but I can't. I will go back when it gets dark, and I have already bought a plane ticket. I will go to court tomorrow morning to seek justice for a little girl."

It was getting dark, and the sun set behind the city buildings. Weng Zhong stared at the setting sun for a long time, until he really couldn't see it, then he got up, smoothed his trousers, stretched out his hand to Zhang Tan, shook it tightly, and thanked again: "Listen to my vomited heart, thank you, I feel better."

Zhang sighed: "At the right time, at the right place, you will definitely meet the most suitable love. I wish you all the best and wish you a smooth lawsuit tomorrow."

"Thank you, I'm leaving, goodbye Zhang Tan."

"Goodbye, Weng Zhong."

Zhang Tan escorted him off the little red horse, watched him turn left, and head towards the busy West Chang'an Street.

"Who is this?"

I don't know when Lao Li came by his side. He followed Zhang Tan's gaze and only saw Weng Zhong's back.

"A friend I just met for a day, that's nice."

Old Li looked at him strangely, walked into the little red horse, and suddenly saw the chairs and small coffee table by the grove, was startled, and quickly looked around:

"Duddu is here??? You have moved out my table and chairs!!! I didn't break the teapot and cup!!!!"
