Chapter 188 Incident

After drinking tea upstairs, I went downstairs to eat.The old man was supported by Yang Jingxing to sit down and said to his granddaughter, "Mengmeng, sit opposite."

Tao Meng hesitated for a while, then the old man said to Yang Jingxing who was about to accompany him, "You go too, go, let me see."

Yang Jingxing said, "Thank you 'grandma', 'grandma'." He went to sit down next to the indifferent Tao Meng.

The old man smiled kindly on the other side and looked at it for a while, then reminded: "Xiao Yang, ask Mengmeng what she likes to eat."

Yang Jingxing said, "I understand it better."

Tao Meng looked at Yang Jingxing, and also reminded: "You ask 'grandma', 'grandma'."

The old man said: "Leave me alone, I can't eat a little...I'll have to measure it later."

Yang Jingxing said: "You are in such a good figure, it doesn't matter if you eat more."

The three of them discussed ordering. Tao Meng, like her 'grandma', likes some delicate and beautiful light vegetarian dishes. Yang Jingxing also made it for himself under the insistence of 'grandma' and Tao Meng's impatience It's very nasty.

Continuing the chat, the topic changed to food.The old man recalled that decades ago, hairy crabs and Songjiang perch were used by families who had no food to satisfy their hunger, but abalone in bird's nest was still a good thing.It's just that the color of the bird's nest at that time was very good, and it's hard to find it now.Yang Jingxing was very happy to hear it.

After eating, Yang Jingxing brought food to Tao Meng.Tao Meng looked at 'grandma' and 'grandma', and couldn't disobey the old man's smiling face, so she reluctantly accepted it.

Although the process was quite long, the old man basically had nothing to do, and most of the time he just looked at the two young people.Yang Jingxing's gentleness towards Tao Meng was appropriate, and Tao Meng's indifference was not too much.

The old man was also concerned about how Yang Jingxing ate at school and whether he had many friends: "Where are the girl friends?"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "There are some."

The old man said: "Mengmeng's grandfather was very handsome when he was young, and all the students in the girls' school knew him."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "I'm not as good as grandpa."

The old man hehe: "Sometimes I am very unhappy."

Yang Jingxing guessed: "Grandpa must be unhappy sometimes, right?"

The old man said, "Yes, I had a bad temper when I was young."

Tao Meng explained: "'Grandma', 'Grandma', he means that you are also welcome."

The old man was very happy: "No, no, our relationship is very good."

Yang Jingxing said: "Replace wine with tea, and I respect the relationship between you and grandpa."

The old man was very happy to thank Tao Meng, who wanted to criticize but was pulled into the gang.

After eating, Yang Jingxing paid the bill, and his grandparents and grandchildren didn't have any objections.After the rest meeting, he went to find a tailor. The old man was supported by Yang Jingxing into the car, and his steps became much more energetic.

Unlike the tailor shop that Xiao Shuxia wanted to take her son to, which was downstairs where she ate, Tao Meng's favorite tailor was still far away.Under Tao Meng's guidance, Yang Jingxing drove the car into an old street and stopped in front of an unremarkable clothing store.

The decoration of the store is quite good, but there are only some clothes such as cheongsam and Tang suit hanging inside.The shopkeepers were a couple in their 30s, watching a movie in front of the computer, and when they saw the old man being supported by Yang Jingxing and Tao Meng, they quickly stood up to welcome them.The man said that the old man's complexion was getting better and better, and the woman praised Tao Meng: "Miss Tao is getting more and more beautiful."

The fox pretended to be the tiger, and the man almost bowed to Yang Jingxing: "Sir, what is your name?"

Tao Meng's "grandma" "grandma" introduced with a smile: "Miss' friend, Yang Jingxing, Xiao Yang."

The couple didn't dislike such feudal clichés, the man even shook hands with Yang Jingxing: "Mr. Yang, it's the first time we meet, please take care of me."

Tao Meng and Yang Jingxing looked at each other with a tacit understanding.

The tailor soon came out to welcome the old customers. A short, skinny old man of five or sixty years old, with black hair and well combed, opened his mouth and politely welcomed the guests into the back room. His son and daughter-in-law watched the tea pouring.

The old man praised Yang Jingxing's tailoring skills, saying that "Wang Tailor" is an old shop, and the previous generation had been tailoring clothes for ladies in Shanghai.

Seeing that Yang Jingxing didn't know much about it, the tailor's son used the words of the younger generation to attract him, that is, the cheongsams worn by the stars in that movie were all made here, as evidenced by a group photo.

Yang Jingxing asked Tao Meng, "Have you worn it?"

Tao Meng shook her head decisively: "I don't like it."

Let's chat for a while, it turns out that Tao Meng's "grandma" made clothes for her 75th birthday.The old tailor said that 75 years old is a big birthday, and if you want to do something special, you have to prepare at least four or five sets of clothes. Even if it's only a month or so away, he can fight his way out.

After measuring the size, Yang Jingxing and Tao Meng continued to stay by the old man's side.I have to admire the woman's perseverance in this regard. The old lady stood for 10 minutes without rest.Then you have to choose the fabric, which takes longer.

It was already three o'clock when I was sent out from the tailor shop.The old man forgot that he said he would go home early, and wanted to drink afternoon tea again.Yang Jingxing kept Tao Meng's request in mind and did not let the old man's laughter stop for more than 5 minutes.The old man not only drank tea, but also ate some snacks.

It was almost four o'clock when Tao Meng received her father's call, she was not very happy: "Go home...you ask 'grandma', 'grandma' yourself!"

After taking the phone, the old man was very kind: "Qinghui... I said... no, Xiao Yang will send us."

Yang Jingxing sent the grandfather and grandson home. The old man wanted to invite Yang Jingxing to his house for dinner, but this guy didn't show face and said he had an appointment.The old man was not very happy, so Tao Meng had to come forward to confirm that Yang Jingxing had indeed made an appointment with the teacher tonight.

Instead of going to the parking lot, Yang Jingxing helped the old man to the elevator.As soon as Tao Meng swiped the card, she heard her father's voice: "Tao Meng...you and 'grandma', 'grandma' come up, tell your classmates to wait for me below."

The old man has a better way: "Go up, go up together."

Yang Jingxing said: "No need, 'Grandma', 'Grandma', you can go up."

Tao Meng saw that Yang Jingxing didn't take a step, and even held back the 'grandma' who wanted to get into the elevator.The old man stretched out his hand to pull Yang Jingxing: "Xiao Yang, listen to 'grandma', 'grandma'."

Yang Jingxing didn't dare to struggle and got into the elevator.

On the twelfth floor, we arrived soon, the elevator door opened, two teenagers were holding an old man hostage to a middle-aged couple, and there was a nanny watching.Tao Qinghui may have just arrived home not long ago, and he was still wearing a tie.He has a height of about 1.7 meters [-]. Although he is in his forties, he is not fat.Tao Qinghui has a squarer Chinese character face than Yang Jingxing's, but he is obviously less exposed to the sun, there is no trace of beard on his chin, and his hair is thinner, giving him a bit of elegance.

Confucianism is refined, Tao Qinghui looked at Yang Jingxing's expression and eyes now without any sense of welcome, but it was not indifferent, it was closer to seriousness.

Yang Jingxing still had a smiling face: "Mr. Tao is good."

Tao Qinghui lowered his head a little bit, his wife smiled, and his old mother was the happiest: "Go in... chat with Xiao Yang, the afternoon will be gone before you know it."

Yang Jingxing waited for the old man to walk on the carpet, let go of his hand and said, "'Grandma', 'Grandma', you rest, I'll go first."

The old man refused, and raised his hand: "Take a break, sit for a while, 'grandma', 'grandma' wants to hear you play the piano."

Being watched by his daughter, Tao Qinghui just turned his direction a little bit, instead of staring at Yang Jingxing, he looked at his mother.

Yang Jingxing said to the old man: "If there is a chance, today is too late."

Tao Qinghui glanced at his daughter and finally said, "I'll see you off."

This is against the rules, Tao Meng demanded: "I'll send it."

Tao Qinghui didn't hear it, so he reminded Yang Jingxing, "Go."

Tao Meng's 'grandma' still refused, even a little harshly: "Xiao Yang, don't worry, stay with 'grandma', 'grandma'."

Tao Meng also seemed to have changed her mind, and asked Yang Jingxing, "Is there time?"

Tao Meng's stepmother said: "Is there something urgent?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I have an appointment with the teacher for dinner tonight, it's getting late."

Tao Qinghui ordered his daughter: "Sit with 'grandmother'." Looking at Yang Jingxing: "Let's go."

Yang Jingxing was still polite: "Grandma, goodbye."

Tao Meng watched Yang Jingxing and her father enter the elevator, the door was closed, and her "grandmother" was still saying: "Xiao Yang, come and accompany "grandma" "grandma" when you have time."

The two men in the elevator stood side by side, Yang Jingxing was upright.Just after weightlessness, Yang Jingxing looked at Tao Qinghui: "Mr. Tao, do you have something to say to me?"

Except for 'inserting' his left hand into his trouser pocket, Tao Qinghui didn't move much.

After the elevator door opened again, Yang Jingxing didn't move, so Tao Qinghui went out first without hesitation, and then quickly turned around and ordered Yang Jingxing who had just lifted his foot: "Come out."

When Yang Jingxing went out, the elevator door closed. In order to keep a proper distance from Tao Qinghui, he almost leaned against the elevator door.

Tao Qinghui wanted to look up to Yang Jingxing, but it wasn't that difficult, and he had a lot of advantages in his expression and imposing manner, but he said good words: "Thank you today."

Yang Jingxing said, "No need."

Tao Qinghui continued to look at Yang Jingxing, half clenched his right hand, and raised his wrist: "Are you pursuing Tao Meng to be your girlfriend?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Yes."

Tao Qinghui was not surprised: "If you are ordinary friends, I have no objection. Boy and girl friends, I object."

Yang Jingxing was not surprised either: "Can I ask the reason?"

Tao Qinghui said: "Don't think too much, it's not about family status, I just don't think you are suitable for Tao Meng."

Yang Jingxing hesitated for a moment, lowered his gaze and raised it again: "Can I ask the reason?"

Tao Qinghui said seriously: "You don't need to know, I'm telling you not to disturb Tao Meng in the future."

Yang Jingxing was also serious: "I never thought of disturbing her."

Tao Qinghui frowned slightly, and his eyes changed a little: "You should understand what I said!"

Yang Jingxing lowered his head slightly, and his voice was also low: "Mr. Tao, Tao Meng and I have known each other for almost four years. We were friends in high school and kept in touch in college. I like her, so I pursue her. I didn't find that I was not suitable for her."

Tao Qinghui advised: "You don't need to say these things!"

Yang Jingxing still said: "I said this not to defend myself, but to respect the relationship between me and Tao Meng, not just talking about love, and not because you are Tao Meng's father."

Tao Qinghui looked at Yang Jingxing, frowned a little, and declared: "Don't think that I'm being unreasonable and arbitrarily preventing you from interacting. I have no prejudice against you, so I'll make it clear to you personally that you and Tao Meng are not suitable! "

Yang Jing's behavior is difficult: "Mr. Tao, I have to be responsible for myself and Tao Meng. Your words can't convince me."

"You don't need to be responsible!" Tao Qinghui raised his voice, stared at Yang Jingxing's sincere eyes for a few seconds, and then lowered his voice a little: "Just stay away from my daughter."

Yang Jingxing said: "If it was a year ago, if you said that, I would not contradict you. But now, I can't give up halfway."

Tao Qinghui was a little surprised, and withdrew his hand from his trouser pocket: "How long have you guys started?"

Yang Jingxing said: "The relationship between Tao Meng and I started in the third year of high school. At that time, we helped and encouraged each other. I pursued her for a short time, but Tao Meng didn't reject me. If I just give up like this, it doesn't matter whether she likes me or not. , she will be unhappy."

Tao Qinghui stared at Yang Jingxing, a little angrily: "My daughter doesn't want you to worry! You can do it yourself. That's all I said."

Seeing Tao Qinghui 'touch' his empty trouser pocket and then go to ring the doorbell, Yang Jingxing hurriedly said: "Mr. Tao, please think again, I assure you, I will not hurt Tao Meng."

Tao Qinghui said loudly to the intercom: "Open the door!" After the elevator door opened, he walked in and looked back at Yang Jingxing: "Without permission, you cannot meet!"

When Tao Qinghui went upstairs, he saw his daughter sitting on the sofa sullenly. He went directly to the study without saying anything, and said to his wife, "Close the door."

Bai Shan closed the door and asked, "Are you finished talking?"

Tao Qinghui was a little annoyed: "If I say one sentence, he will say three sentences. They are already ready."

Bai Shan reassured: "My child, I am impatient. You are too. You should first ask your daughter what she thinks."

Tao Qinghui regretted: "What do girls know at this age."

Bai Shan guessed: "What if my daughter likes it?"

Tao Qinghui shook his head: "We can't let them go on, let Mengmeng come in."

After being called, Tao Meng still sat on the sofa, refusing to move, and walked to her father's study only after being stood up by her 'grandmother'.Tao Qinghui was very gentle to his daughter: "In the future, keep a distance from Yang Jingxing."

Tao Meng raised her head and stared, and looked at 'grandma' after a long time.

The old man was also anxious and blamed his son: "What are you talking about! Speak slowly."

Tao Qinghui looked at his daughter lovingly: "I also told Yang Jingxing to stop disturbing you."

Tao Meng sat, looking at her father's face without blinking.

Tao Qinghui continued: "As I said, I have no objection to your falling in love, but if you want to choose someone, Yang Jingxing is not suitable for you."

Tao Meng's "grandma" "grandma" disagreed: "That's what you said!"

Tao Qinghui pleaded: "Mom, you don't understand this kind of person now."

Tao Meng's "grandma" "grandma" angrily: "Xiao Yang is fine, what's wrong with the relationship, Mengmeng is so big!"

Tao Qinghui apologized to his daughter: "Mengmeng, Dad is sorry to you, it's because I didn't care enough for you, and now it's too sudden..."

Tao Meng suddenly remembered something, stood up and rushed out the door, then ran to her room.Tao Qinghui could chase after him, but he had to take care of his elderly mother with his wife, so he was shut out by his daughter.

After the call was connected, Yang Jingxing first said, "Hello...what did your father tell you?"

Tao Meng held the phone with both hands and was silent, but her breath was heavy.

Yang Jingxing continued: "Your father said that I'm not allowed to pursue you, but he underestimated my face so much that I didn't agree...or he underestimated Mengmeng's attractiveness too much."

Before Tao Meng's smile surfaced, she was interrupted by tears, and she struggled to force out: "I'm sorry."

Yang Jingxing said: "You should repent, if you weren't so beautiful and cute, I wouldn't have been scolded by your father."

Tao Meng cried out, "You're annoying..."

Yang Jingxing was worried: "Don't let them hear it, or they will punish me even more... But don't be angry with Dad, he is doing it for your own good."

Tao Meng whimpered, "He's not, he's a tyrant!"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "A tyrant will love and protect the princess. Are you angry with your father?"

Tao Meng nodded and said, "I'm in my room...they're outside."

Yang Jingxing asked: "Where is 'grandma'?"

Tao Meng was sad: "You are calling me."

Yang Jingxing said: "Don't let 'grandma' 'grandma' worry, and don't get angry with Dad."

Tao Meng cried: "I don't want to see him... where are you?"

Yang Jingxing said, "In the car."

"Are you leaving?" Tao Meng was very worried.

Yang Jingxing said: "Not yet, I'll leave in a while."

Tao Meng asked, "Are you still going to see Teacher Hu?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I'm going. I'm not sad, because I find that I like you more now, thank you dad."

Tao Meng cried again.

Yang Jingxing said: "Don't cry, go and have a good talk with Dad. I didn't tell him that you agreed to be my girlfriend."

Tao Meng asked urgently, "Why didn't you say it?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Because he can't stop me from liking you, I'm mad at him!"

Tao Meng continued to cry: "I want to see you."

Yang Jingxing said: "I know the direction of your window, I will drive there."

One minute later, Tao Meng saw Yang Jingxing downstairs from the window, and seemed to be waving at her.

Yang Jingxing heard the crying on the phone getting louder, so he said, "Don't cry, it's raining here."

Tao Meng was disobedient: "What should I do?"

Yang Jingxing said: "If your father insists, Mengmeng, thank you for everything for so long."

Tao Meng yelled sadly: "Don't...don't tell me!"

Yang Jingxing said: "This is the worst plan, but I guess your father won't be able to hold on to me."

Tao Meng Xiaosong sighed: "You promise me!"

Yang Jingxing said: "I promise you. Now you go talk to your father, grandma, I heard them call you."

Tao Meng cried and made a difficult choice: "Okay, I'll call you later."

Yang Jingxing said, "I'll go first."

Tao Meng held back for a while and said, "Drive carefully."

Tao Qinghui, who was frightened by his daughter's scream, was about to knock on the door when his daughter opened it suddenly.Look at the tear stains on Tao Meng's face, and the open window, when "grandma" "grandma" screamed ouch and went to hug her granddaughter, Mengmeng screamed non-stop.

Tao Meng had that kind of dull expression again, the tears that kept seeping from the corners of her eyes seemed to contain resentment.Bai Shan hurriedly knelt down on the bay window and closed it, looking anxiously at her husband.

Tao Qinghui stood, swallowed once, looked at his daughter and said, "My decision will not change."

Tao Meng didn't react much, she just turned her head and closed her eyes.But when the 'grandmother' became anxious, she repeatedly comforted her: "No, no, what I said counts! 'Grandma' 'grandma' likes Yang Jingxing." He scolded his son: "How can you say such things now! "

Tao Qinghui was quite calm: "Mengmeng, Dad knows you are upset, but Dad is very firm about this matter, you can scold me if you want."

Tao Meng didn't respond.Bai Shan persuaded: "Don't talk about it... you go out, and 'grandma' and I will accompany Mengmeng."
