Chapter 276

Xu Yan was in the car when he received Tang Jia's call.

Hearing Tang Jia hesitantly and whispering on the other end of the phone that Tang Bowen had invited him to dinner, he immediately raised his wrist to check the time. It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and he was about to go to a restaurant for an appointment with a major company client.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Li Zheng who was driving ahead, reported a series of addresses first, and then said, "You accompany the client first for me. If I go well, I will rush over as soon as the business here is over. If I can't, Then you can figure it out."

Li Zheng didn't expect him to change his mind suddenly.Based on his previous understanding of the acting president, he has always been meticulous in his work, never procrastinating or perfunctory, and always regards work as the most important part.

And what happened today?Making such a decision knowing that the other party is a difficult client is not like the Xu Yan he knew.

Bewildered, he sent Xu Yan to Tang Boxen's residence.

When he was about to leave, Xu Yan suddenly stopped him, and then saw Xu Yan connected to the vibrating mobile phone, talking to the person on the other end of the phone with a polite smile on his lips, and hung up the phone after more than a minute.

"No need to go, the other party missed the flight."

Li Zheng raised his eyebrows, thinking that he was really lucky that he didn't have to break his promise at this juncture.

"Go back to the company and contact me if you need anything."

"it is good."

Li Zheng reversed the car and left.

Xu Yan stood outside the wrought iron gate. After the doorbell rang for a while, Tang Jia ran out to open the door for him.

"Why did your father invite us to dinner?" He naturally took Tang Jia's hand and asked as he walked in.

Tang Jia was still immersed in the thoughts of being abandoned before, but at this moment he held his hand so naturally, and the warmth of the palm passed to her, as if there was a hot current flowing through her heart, warm.

Maybe she was thinking too much. He was impatient in the company before, but he was really busy at work, and her noise disturbed him.

Thinking of this, my mood brightened instantly.

"I don't know why. When I came out of the company, I received a call from him asking me to come back. I thought he was telling me to pack up and leave. I didn't know that he was going to treat us to dinner, and he even ordered a meal."

Xu Yan was slightly surprised, but didn't show it.

`
In a luxurious box of a certain restaurant, Xu Yan and Tang Jia sat side by side, opposite Tang Bowen with a serious expression.

"Are you surprised that I suddenly asked you to have dinner together?" Tang Boxen asked breaking the silence when the dishes were being served one after another.

Tang Jia glanced at Xu Yan beside him, but said nothing.But I heard Xu Yan say, "It's not very strange. I always wanted to have a meal with you before, but because too many things happened, I didn't mention it. Originally, I planned to come to you after a while when I wasn't so busy. .”

Hearing what he said, Tang Bo snorted with a half-smile.

"I'm afraid it won't be necessary in the future." He looked at Tang Jia, "When I used to be her father, I hoped to see you holding a grand wedding, holding her hand and handing her over to you , drink your wedding wine, hear you call me daddy. But now..."

Tang Jia lowered his eyes in pain, feeling as if something was blocked in his throat.

Xu Yan reached out to grab her hand calmly, but looked at Tang Bowen and said, "I don't know if I should say something or not."

"What?"

"I think you are too stubborn about some things."

"for example?"

"For example, let's talk about the matter between you and Jiajia. You have been a father and daughter for such a long time. No matter whether Jiajia is bleeding from you or not, in her heart, only you are her father. This No one can replace it, including Li Yunhai."

Unexpectedly, Xu Yan would pick up his scars in front of him and mention the name of his rival, Tang Boxen's expression suddenly became ugly.There was obviously a cluster of anger rushing upwards in his chest, but he tried his best to suppress it so as not to let it burst out.

"I don't want to talk about this person." He bluntly expressed his deep hatred for that person.

Xu Yan was not forgiving.

He is a lawyer, and he has no habit of shrinking and avoiding when encountering difficulties. He knows that only by facing the problem can he solve the problem.

"I think you definitely don't want you and Jiajia to be strangers in the future. Since this is the case, why don't you choose to accept the reality? Even if you and her are not biological father and daughter and have no blood relationship, the relationship that has been spent for more than two decades I think it's better than anything."

Tang Boxen sneered.

"Worthy of being a lawyer, he speaks clearly. I think no matter what I say, you have enough reasons to refute me, so I don't want to continue talking with you on this matter."

He glanced at the dishes on the table and saw that the dishes were almost ready, so he took the chopsticks first to start without being polite.

Xu Yan knew that he still had something to say, but it was not a good pawn.

It just so happened that I was hungry too, so I decided to put everything aside for the time being and fill my stomach first.

He carefully filled Tang Jia with a bowl of soup first, and then picked up some vegetables for her one after another.He didn't say a word during the period, but every movement he made revealed his caring love for Tang Jia.And Tang Jia would pick up his favorite dishes for him from time to time, and sometimes the two of them stretched out their chopsticks to pick up the same dish at the same time. Tang Jia looked at Xu Yan with affectionate eyes, and even the smile on the corner of his mouth was so sweet and gentle. .

Tang Boxen watched the interaction between them, and remembered the love he once had when he was young, but in the end it was all for nothing, and even the daughter was not his own.I couldn't help feeling sad, the food in my mouth suddenly lost its original taste and became bitter and unchewable.

In fact, he is not so stubborn that he must draw a clear line with Tang Jia. It is her existence that makes him too embarrassed. He is afraid that he will not be able to help but speak more and more harshly when facing her.

When Tang Jia was young, he took her out to play, and some acquaintances joked that his daughter didn’t look like him. At that time, he started to feel pimples, but he never dared to do a paternity test. He was afraid that the result would make him despair. .

But even though he didn't do a paternity test, since that time, he never allowed Tang Jia to get close to him, and he didn't even want to hug her again.In fact, thinking about it now, he probably stopped treating Tang Jia as his daughter at that time.
