Zhutian: Since I was a child, I have been happy to be a father

January 2, 2006, afternoon.

Chen Tao said goodbye to Qianxi and returned to his home.

Qianxi looks strong and not clingy. But the truth is, she is reluctant to leave Chen Tao, even though they can meet again at school tomorrow.

This is not surprising. She has been left alone by He Xiaozhou for more than a year, so it is normal for her to have some stress disorders.

In the book, He Xiaozhou had to wait until 2009 to come back, to watch Qianxi's solo concert, and to listen to her sing the song "I Finally Lost You", officially ending their relationship.

To be honest, this is outrageous.

No matter how busy you are at work, you can at least have one week of free time a year, right? If you calculate the day right, you can even have a child.

No matter how expensive the air tickets are, two thousand dollars for a round trip is more than enough. You can't be unable to afford even the airfare after living in the United States for a few years, right?

Then what's the point of mixing around?

Not only Qianxi is lost, but also He Xiaozhou. They are also the two characters with the worst conditions and the most eager to change their destiny.

What does this mean? It means that Qian Xi should concentrate on writing, and not be like someone who only pays 4,000 yuan a day and muddles through.

January 7th, Laba Festival, Capital International Airport.

"Dad! Daddy!"

As soon as he saw Chen Tao, the little cutie started running with his short legs, shouting continuously.

Chen Tao picked her up with a smile, kissed her round face, and asked:

"Why did you come back just now? Do you know how much Daddy missed you?"

Xue'er hugged his neck and said crisply, "I miss Dad, too!"

"How much do you think?"

"I can't sleep because I miss it so much."

"Really? Then why did your mother tell me that you eat well and sleep well every day? Is your mother lying, or are you lying?"

"Mom lied!"

"..."

Fang Hui's face was immediately filled with black lines. It was good that her daughter was smart, but she was very tired of using her intelligence to compete with her.

Xu Yanxin thought it was good.

Compared with her crooked daughter, she likes her smart granddaughter more. Xue'er is not only smart, but also has a strong learning ability, even too strong. Compared with her mother, there is a huge gap between them.

From this point of view, Xu Yanxin also felt that Xue'er was Chen Tao's child. After all, Chen Xun had a lower education and worse abilities in all aspects.

Chen Tao nodded in greeting and continued to educate his daughter:

"Xue'er is a good child. You must be honest in the future and don't say bad things about your mother. Do you hear me?"

Xue'er responded, then grabbed Chen Tao's hair and urged:
"I want to eat cake, Dad, take me home quickly."

As Chen Tao walked, he asked, "Tell Dad first, who taught you this phrase, 'I can't sleep because I think about it so much'?"

"That night, Mom told you~"

"..."

Fang Wei's pretty face flushed, and she thought to herself that she really shouldn't be so casual in the future. She should make sure her daughter fell asleep before flirting with her.

Fang Jianzhou looked embarrassed.

Xu Yanxin was very pleased. Her granddaughter was so smart! She was only two years old, but she had such a good memory. She was guaranteed to be admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University. There was no upper limit.

That night, after dinner, Chen Tao and his family of three returned to Ziyu Villa.

When Jia Mo is not around, she will spend time with her parents whenever she has free time, so as to avoid missing them too much in the next six months.

After washing up, Chen Tao told his daughter a bedtime story. After the girl fell asleep, he picked up her mother and went to the second bedroom to chat about family matters.

Of course, before you start chatting, you have to build up some feelings.

"Hubby~ I miss you so much! No matter where I go from now on, you have to accompany me, otherwise I really can't sleep."

"You are so filthy. You just keep pestering me for sex all day long. Tell me, how can there be someone like you?"

"Hoohoo~ Jiamo, Jiamo is even more slutty than me. She always competes with me for him. He's obviously my boyfriend, but she always likes him. She's targeting me on purpose."

"Is it possible that the person she likes is you?"

"This, this, this is impossible! This is just an excuse, she wouldn't take it seriously, right? Please make a phone call, I want to ask her in person."

"..."

Chen Tao made a phone call immediately, and Jia Mo cooperated very well and criticized Fang Hui.

Fang Wei felt very good.

After the first act was over, Chen Tao did not go to sleep. Instead, he hugged Fang Hui and asked about her grades:
"How is it going? With your help as a matchmaker during this trip, my parents should be showing signs of getting back together, right?"

Fang Wei looked frustrated: "How can it be that easy! Don't you know my mom? My dad is the same, can't he lower his head? They are both so strong, even if we get back together temporarily, we still have to fight for it in the future."

Fang Jianzhou's skills and business were certainly not as great as Xu Yanxin's, but he did quite well after he came to his senses, and he didn't need to flatter Xu Yanxin at all.

Needless to say, the two of them just couldn't agree on who their daughter should listen to and who to visit when she had time.

Not to mention the big blame of "Several Issues Concerning My Daughter Since the Divorce", neither of them is willing to take the blame.

Xu Yanxin firmly believed that Fang Jianzhou had failed to educate her daughter well. The reason was that during the period when her ex-husband raised her, her daughter had already become a premature lover.

Fang Jianzhou refuted this and said that her daughter really became bad when she was being raised by her mother.

She thought her daughter became rebellious because she was too strict! She kept breaking the bottom line because she only cared about making money and didn't care enough about her!
In front of outsiders, such as Chen Tao, he gave Xu Yanxin face. But behind closed doors, he would not be too polite!

How come a good daughter, who was very well behaved when she was with him, became more and more out of tune after following her mother? Could this be the fault of his father? Impossible!
If Fang Hui knew that the two of them were arguing over this, she would probably be so depressed that she would want to jump into the Beihai.

However, let alone jumping into the Beihai Sea, even if she jumped into the Yangtze River or the Yellow River, she could not clear herself of the guilt.

Chen Tao comforted him, "It's actually good to be apart, so you don't get tired of each other. Distance makes beauty! We are busy with our own things. If you want to meet, then make an appointment, have dinner together, get some red and white wine, and when the atmosphere is right, go to the hotel to do business and reminisce about your youth. Isn't that good?"

"not good!"

Fang Wei snorted, "It doesn't matter if my parents don't get back together, but you must not leave me and ignore me. You must love me forever."

Chen Tao deliberately said jealously: "Miss Fang Hui, how can you still lack my love? If I don't go home for three days, Chen Xun will come, right?"

"Hate it, the thief is crying thief! There's really nothing between him and me, but what about you? Jiamo is already pregnant!"

"Your mother doesn't even believe this. If it's nothing, Chen Xun has gone crazy and broke up with Xiaotang, and he still wants to acknowledge my child?"

"Yes, that's right. He is mentally ill. There are billions of people in the world, and there are always a few people like him."

"That makes sense. No wonder mom and dad don't want to believe you."

"Aww!"

"I have to go to school tomorrow. How can I face people if you bite me and leave a mark on me?"

"I don't care, I'll just bite you! I want to eat you! It was obviously me who met you first and fell in love with you first, so your personal ownership can only belong to me!"

"Personal ownership? Have I traveled through time, to the Ming Dynasty, and become your servant? That's too feudal!" "If I became the protagonist of Qianxi's novel, I would practice feudalism and make you my slave. You are only allowed to look at me, not other women! If you even look at me once, I will whip you ten times!"

"..."

Mr. Chen was so in love that he was speechless. He first slapped Fang Hui ten times.

Fang Hui's eyes were as bright as water, and she called out "husband" in a madwoman's voice, announcing the start of the second act.

***
The next day, at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Xie Qiao walked out of his home in Denghua Hutong within the Second Ring Road and got into Qin Chuan's car.

She didn't live here originally, but this place is closer to the literature and art club and more convenient for commuting to get off work, so she came here to stay temporarily.

The courtyard she lived in was originally allocated to her grandfather to live in alone. But later, for some reason, several rooms were allocated to the Xin, He, and Qin families.

Later, her grandmother negotiated with the three families and asked them to move out, and the house returned to its original owner.

In fact, she is just like Fang Hui, her life is smooth sailing. He Xiaozhou loves her, Qin Chuan loves her deeply, Yang Cheng likes her too, she has a stable job, and she can relax and enjoy her life every day, watching the clouds roll by and letting them roll by.

Her thoughts are not profound, and are even shallow. This is not to criticize her, but what she said herself.

In the book, after the scandal broke out, she went to confront Qianxi, but they parted on bad terms.

When she looked back on the incident later, she felt that she was just a child who naively acted unreasonably with Qianxi, an adult.

Qianxi told her the reality, saying that He Xiaozhou was too far away to help, and it was not even convenient to call her.

But she completely ignored it and only talked about feelings.

But as Chen Tao said before, she had no right to talk about love with Qianxi. After all, she was not in a true cross-border relationship, and Qin Chuan, whom she loved, was always by her side.

Where is her Xiaochuan brother? She only knows to let Qianxi go to the United States, and is only worried that He Xiaozhou will be sad after reading the gossip. So this relationship is a one-sided love? Why not let He Xiaozhou return to China for Qianxi?
Quite biased.

inside the car.

Qin Chuan advised: "Qiao Qiao, I think he should handle this matter himself."

Xie Qiao looked determined: "Of course I know that love is a matter between two people, but how can I just stand by and watch? No matter what, I have to go and persuade Qianxi."

Qin Chuan was a little jealous: "Do you still like him?"

Xie Qiao blushed and shouted, "Are you crazy? He's Qianxi's boyfriend, how can I like him?"

Qin Chuan sighed inwardly, and after two and a half minutes, he spoke again: "I also support Qian Xi!"

Without waiting for Xie Qiao to get angry, he then added stutteringly:
"Qian Xi can break up with him, you can break up with Yang Cheng, I, I can also break up with Wang Ying!"

This is no different from a confession.

He envied Chen Tao very much. He also wanted to date someone he truly loved and have a lovely child.

Influenced by Chen Tao, it's not surprising that he was a little impulsive today.

Xie Qiao was happy, but he still insisted on his own opinion:
"We can break up, but Qianxi and Xiaoxiaoge can't. At least we can't end their relationship so hastily because they once truly loved each other. As good friends, we should persuade them to reconcile rather than separate, so that they won't regret it and suffer for the rest of their lives because of the breakup!"

Qin Chuan nodded: "I am going to break up with Wang Ying."

Chen Tao has been saying that Xie Qiao likes him, so why is he still hesitating? Just show your hand and do it quickly!
"what?!"

Xie Qiao's eyes widened.

To her, He Xiaozhou's affairs were no longer important.

The car headed west.

At 2:45, Qin Chuan and Xie Qiao arrived at their destination.

No. 7, Financial Street, Yinglan International.

Since there are already many traces of Chen Tao's life in the house, Qianxi naturally cannot let Xie Qiao go to her house, so she has to borrow Chen Tao's office temporarily!

In the elevator.

Qin Chuan sighed, "I used to think I was pretty awesome, but compared to a real awesome guy like Brother Qiang, I'm far behind!"

He was stronger than Kuang by a few months, but that didn't stop him from calling Chen Tao "Brother Qiang".

As for Xie Qiao's boyfriend Yang Cheng, he not only looked down on him, but also always hated him. Not to mention calling him brother, even not calling him grandson was considered very polite of him.

Obviously, if Chen Tao were to have feelings for Xie Qiao someday, he would be demoted from Brother Qiang to grandson, and might even be beaten.

Xie Qiao snorted, “Since you know you are not as good as others, why don’t you work hard and ask me to write your paper for you?”

Qin Chuan is about to graduate. Even if the school can pay to get in, the graduation thesis must be submitted. Otherwise, it will be too watery and will affect the enrollment.

Like his sister Qin Qian, he likes Chen Haonan and hates studying, so he can only ask Xie Qiao for help.

Qin Chuan laughed dryly and said, "Everyone has his strengths and weaknesses. Even Brother Qiang can't know everything."

In fact, he was quite concerned about the educational gap between him and Xie Qiao.

Xie Qiao rolled his eyes at him: "Anyway, you are always right!"

Soon, with a ding, the elevator arrived at the floor they wanted to go to.

When the two of them walked into the consulting firm set up by Chen Tao, Chen Tao was drinking tea with Dong Ge in the office.

It doesn’t matter, she is looking for Qianxi.

Half past four.

Dong Ge said goodbye, Chen Tao saw him out, then came back and asked seriously:
"Qiao Qiao, Qianxi, how was your conversation?"

Qianxi was a little nervous. Was her current lover's acting skills too good? He had even pestered her for a long time at noon and said a lot of dirty words.

Now he has become a gentleman again.

Xie Qiao's brows relaxed: "Qianxi has agreed to wait for Xiaochuan Ge to come back and talk things out in person. Before that, she is still Xiaochuan Ge's girlfriend."

Chen Tao looked at Qianxi.

Qianxi nodded.

She knew very well that this request was not just Xie Qiao's idea. Since He Xiaozhou really had some objections to her, she naturally had no reason to refuse.

As for whether she was still He Xiaozhou's girlfriend during this period? She didn't agree, but Xie Qiao just said it herself.

Chen Tao asked: "Qianxi can handle her own affairs, but you, when are you going to break up?"

Xie Qiao looked embarrassed.

Chen Tao continued to teach: "Don't say you don't like Yang Cheng. Even if you do, you won't have a chance. The Yang family doesn't like you as a daughter-in-law, and Yang Cheng has no right to decide her own affairs. Break up early and be with Qin Chuan early. Don't delay it until you become an elderly mother, otherwise you will suffer by then!"

Then he looked at Qin Chuan and said, "Be decisive like a man. Don't be so fussy. Go to bed when it's time. If you wait any longer, Qiao Qiao's skin will become worse and she will become uglier."

"..."

The three of them were stunned.

Chen Tao was looking forward to it.

Three couples breaking up together, how spectacular is that? (End of this chapter)
