Chapter 37 Bad News
Tan Weicai came to Yiyi's school and saw that the plaque on the gate had been renamed from "Wenyuan Girls' Middle School" to "Wenyuan Middle School". He asked himself: How long has it been since he came to Yiyi's school? He couldn't remember it himself.
I don’t know. There are times when the school holds parent-teacher meetings, and Shuying comes to attend them. The only time he came was when school just started. And that time, he also asked the driver to take Shuying and Yiyi to the school gate, and hurried there.
The firm handles affairs. As a father, he suddenly felt that he was not that competent.
He asked the guard: "Which classroom is Tan Yiyi in?"
The guard replied: "Is this the school beauty Tan Yiyi? The first classroom on the left on the second floor."
Tan Weicai finally found out that his daughter was actually the school beauty, and that she had inherited the good genes of his and Shuying's appearance. He suddenly felt how ridiculous he was. He had always thought that Yiyi was a narrow-minded girl, so he ignored her appearance.
He went up to the second floor and saw through the window that classes were taking place in the classroom. Only then did he understand why the school had been renamed. It turned out that it had become co-educational. Among the many students, he recognized his daughter at a glance, and she was as eye-catching as a star.
Isn't the person sitting next to her the handsome boy who sent her back that day? It turns out that maybe he really misunderstood her!
For the first time, he secretly watched his daughter in class. She was very serious. She listened to the class attentively and took notes from time to time. This was the first time that he actually felt proud of his daughter. For many years, he hated her stubborn bad temper and hated her.
Her so-called scheming, but in fact, her daughter did not let him down. She worked hard to accept new education and new ideas. The way she studied hard really touched him.
He just looked at his daughter quietly until the bell rang and the students walked out of the classroom one after another. The passing students looked at him curiously in suits and ties, probably guessing whose father he was.
Teacher Luo came out, and Tan Weicai stretched out his right hand politely: "Hello, teacher, I am Tan Yiyi's father. I have something to do at home today and I want to take her home early."
Teacher Luo looked at the gentle Tan Weicai and wondered how the usually indifferent Tan Yiyi could have such a gentle father. He quickly replied: "Okay, that's no problem." Then he shouted into the classroom: "Tan Yiyi, your father
Came to take you home."
Tan Weicai just appeared at the door of the classroom, and Yiyi suddenly felt incredible.
Xu Lingya next to her said: "Yiyi, your father is so handsome. I thought capitalists were fat-headed, but I didn't expect it to be the case."
Xu Hanming looked at Tan Weicai and nodded to him with a neither humble nor overbearing smile to show his politeness. Tan Weicai nodded to him in agreement and said to Yiyi: "Pack your books. If there is something urgent at home, come home with me."
Yiyi packed up her books and followed her father out of the classroom. Everyone in the school seemed to be attracted by the sight of them.
"Tan Yiyi's father is so graceful."
"It turns out that this is what a Confucian businessman is really like."
Listening to the praise along the way, Tan Yiyi followed her father to the outside of the school. The driver was already waiting. After sitting in the car, Tan Weicai said: "From tomorrow on, I will ask the driver to drive you to and from school."
Yiyi said: "No need. I like to walk to and from school by myself."
Tan Weicai said: "You are a girl and it is not safe."
Yiyi said: "All girls are girls, why am I so special? I just like walking, daddy." Yiyi actually acted like a baby. This was the first time she acted like a baby to her father in many years. She was still as gentle and sweet as last night.
Human appearance.
When she was gentle and lovely, Tan Weicai felt that the whole world belonged to him. He said: "Okay, but if you get out of school too late, call me and I will ask the driver to pick you up."
Yiyi saw that the route taken by the driver was not the way home. She asked curiously: "Dad, where are we going?"
Tan Weicai said: "Today I will take you to see the teacher Chen Binning you have longed for!"
Yiyi asked excitedly: "She went back to Hangzhou? What about brother Mingming? Is he back too?"
Tan Weicai said: "Teacher Chen is back, but I don't know if Mingming is back. I'll find out when I go to her house later."
With eagerness, Yiyi and Tan Weicai arrived at Qian Mansion. When they knocked on the door, a middle-aged maid with a rigid face looked at them doubtfully: "Who are you looking for?"
Tan Weicai said: "I'm looking for Mr. Qian and Teacher Chen."
"Teacher Chen?" The maid still had no smile on her face.
Tan Weicai quickly corrected: "It's Mrs. Chen Binning. She taught my daughter piano before. So I called her Teacher Chen. Today I met Mr. Qian and Teacher Chen in the furniture store, and they invited us to meet at the mansion. My surname is Tan.
"
The maid said: "I'll go in and make an announcement. You guys wait first." Then she closed the door and turned to leave.
Yiyi looked at Tan Weicai: "Dad, as soon as I walked to the door, I felt that the atmosphere was so cold. Why is this maid so cold?"
Tan Weicai said: "We don't have to care about these superficial phenomena. Appearances don't mean anything. Some people look cold and frosty on the outside, but in fact they have a fire burning inside. Some people smile brightly, but they may be bitter on the inside."
The door opened, and the middle-aged maid came back and said: "Mr. Tan, please come in."
Tan Weicai and Yiyi were walking through a corridor under the leadership of a middle-aged maid. Suddenly, a man in strange clothes, with his face painted black with pot ash and a stench all over his body jumped out and laughed wildly at Yiyi. Yiyi was startled.
Jumping greatly, Tan Weicai instinctively hid Yiyi behind him.
The middle-aged maid quickly pushed the fool away: "Stop messing around and go back to the house quickly."
The fool jumped away. The middle-aged woman looked at Tan Weicai and Yiyi who were confused, and said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, this is my silly son, making you laugh."
After walking through the corridor and entering the main room, a graceful lady was waiting for them. Yiyi recognized Chen Binning, whom she had not seen for eleven years, at a glance: "Teacher Chen!"
Chen Binning was still as cold as ice: "Are you Tan Yiyi?"
Yiyi said eagerly: "Yes, Teacher Chen, where is brother Mingming?"
Chen Binning's face darkened, her expression seemed to be controlling the immense pain in her heart and she said, "Thank you for still remembering us, but, Yiyi, your brother Ming passed away in an accident."
It was like a bolt from the blue. Yiyi could not believe her eyes. How come Brother Ming, who existed so beautifully in her memory and was as bright as the moon in the sky, was no longer alive? She widened her beautiful eyes in horror, shook her head and said in pain.
