480: Chapter 480: Furious Scolding and Harsh Training!
An Unkind Father!
Wu Jie was completely infuriated!
He burst into a thunderous rage!
His eyes stared fiercely!
He pointed at Tang Xiao and bellowed loudly:
“Speak up, won’t you?
Did you two have a quarrel?
Asking such private questions, what exactly happened?”
“The wedding is just the day after tomorrow, and many guests will arrive tomorrow.
What are you causing trouble for?”
Tang Xiao’s lips parted slightly, her expression sowhat bewildered.
“I…
I…”
“What about you?” Tang Long roared impatiently: “Is it that Jie has soone else on the side?”
Tang Xiao shook her head.
“Then have you fallen for soone else?” Tang Long asked again.
Tang Xiao shook her head once more.
Tang Long’s eyebrows knitted together instantly.
“This is really strange!
Neither of you has a problem, so what’s going on today?”
“Suddenly asking extrely private questions, and not allowing Wu Jie to attend today’s negotiation eting, what on earth is going on with you two?”
Tang Xiao lowered her head, thinking to herself, I would also like to ask, what exactly happened.
Thump, thump, thump!
Impatient, Wu Jie stretched out his hand and sharply knocked on the desk.
“I’m asking you a question.
Are you deaf or mute?
You’re usually so decisive, why are you so irritable today, and even your words are incoherent.
What’s gotten into you?”
Tang Xiao raised her head, her lips twitching awkwardly as she said:
“I…
I don’t know what’s going on!”
“It’s just that, after last night’s dinner, Xin’er ca ho with us and made a joke!”
Her voice grew quieter and quieter, to Tang Long’s irritation, he almost couldn’t help but hit soone.
“Oh my dear daughter!
Is this still the you I knew?
Can’t you speak clearly and decisively, can you?”
Tang Xiao clenched her teeth and imdiately spoke out loud and fluently:
“Xin’er was joking, saying she and I should let Jie choose, who he would pick.”
“Jie joked right then, asking if he could choose soone else instead, and afterward, Xin’er asked him if he knew about Tianyuan Bailing Apartnt…”
Tang Xiao explained concisely.
Of course, she deliberately omitted a key point, which was that Tang Xin was very serious when she asked Wu Jie to choose and it wasn’t a joke.
After listening, Tang Long fell silent.
He subconsciously reached into his pocket and realized that he had long given up smoking.
Smacking his lips, Tang Long took a sip of tea from his cup, his mind racing with thoughts.
This matter…
could be big or small!
Won may not understand n, but n definitely understand other n.
There’s a saying, “After three and a half years as a bachelor, even a sow can seem like a fairy.”
What normal man wouldn’t want to be surrounded by beautiful won to choose from when he’s single?
Who wants to spend their nights in lonely emptiness, with youthful restlessness having nowhere to go?
Who wouldn’t want a beauty as delicate as a flower and as tender as water by their side?
So…
After so thought, Tang Long imdiately chose to take Wu Jie’s side.
He snorted heavily.
Putting the cup down, Tang Long glared coldly at Tang Xiao.
“Xin’er is a crazy girl, and you’re following her in her craziness?”
“Considering all the education you’ve had, how can you not understand the simplest principles of being a person?”
“How important is a person’s past, really?
Even if they made mistakes in the past, does it an they will definitely make them again in the future?”
“Moreover, in this day and age, thinking isn’t as conservative as before.
Any adult has the right to free love!”
“Who has decreed that those who have been in love or divorced should be looked down upon?
Does that an their morals are impure?”
“What about if one ends up with a shrew or marries a scumbag, must they resign themselves to that for a lifeti?”
…
Tang Xiao knew that her father was definitely going to give her a lecture.
But it wasn’t exactly scolding, without a single swear word, just sharp, interrogative challenges.
Tang Long went on and on with his sermon, while Tang Xiao just kept her head down, biting her lip in thought.
After a while, Tang Long’s mouth had gone dry from talking, and he took a couple more sips of tea.
“You, oh you!
You haven’t had any romantic relationships, you lack extensive social experience, you should stop listening to others gossiping!”
“Your life is your own, and so is your love life.
How important is what Tang Xin says, really?”
“Even if Wu Jie used to be a playboy and frequent nightclubs, isn’t it the case that he hasn’t been flirting around now?”
“You can’t predict a person’s future based on their past, and besides, you’re only suspecting!”
After setting down the cup, Tang Long stared at Tang Xiao with indignation.
“Don’t stay silent.
If you have any other thoughts, speak up quickly!”
Tang Xiao looked up and said in a deep voice:
“I don’t really suspect, and I’m not angry either!”
“I just feel that Xin’er is right, Jie is very capable, and he could very well be lying…”
Tang Long made a sound of agreent but suddenly looked up.
“Wait a minute!”
“What did you just say?
No way, you two haven’t actually made it real until now, have you?”
Tang Xiao quickly explained: “Dad, don’t misunderstand, actually, that’s the only thing that hasn’t happened between us!
It seems like we’ve done everything else there is to do!”
Her voice grew quieter as Tang Xiao’s pretty face blushed crimson, truly too ashad to et anyone’s eyes.
After Tang Long muttered a couple of sounds of acknowledgnt, he said with a nonchalant smile:
“That’s not bad!
Both of you saving yourselves for the wedding night, that’s pretty good!”
Tang Xiao reproachfully said, “Dad!
What are you talking about?
My head is all muddled right now, I don’t know if Jie has lied to !
This is very important to !”
“If he’d been honest from the start, I wouldn’t mind at all.
The reason I feel so down is because I care whether he lied or not!”
Tang Long countered, “Have you lied to him?”
Tang Xiao was stunned.
“Dad, what do you an by that?
Why are you suddenly doubting ?
We’re talking about whether Jie has…”
Tang Long raised his hand signaling for silence and said with a cold laugh:
“Now I’m playing Wu Jie, and I’m asking you, how can you prove you’ve never been in love?
That you’ve never ssed around?”
Tang Xiao argued loudly, “I never go to nightclubs!
I don’t go clubbing or sing KTV, I’m not interested in those things, and I can prove it dically, rember?
The last ti we went to the hospital, the doctor even ntioned seeing that thing!
You were there too!”
Tang Long was slightly taken aback, then suddenly rembered that he was playing ‘Wu Jie’.
Instantly getting into character, Tang Long countered:
“What does a hyn prove?
With modern dicine being so advanced, who knows if it’s fake or not?”
“And even if it’s real, how can you prove that during your many years in the army, with so many outstanding n around, you never had a relationship?
Held hands or kissed, how can you prove that?”
“Damn!”
Tang Xiao was getting angry and stood up swiftly:
“Am I so idle that I need to pretend to be pure?
I swear to heaven, I haven’t!”
Remaining calm and collected, Tang Long picked up his teacup and humd with a chuckle:
“What’s the use of swearing?
Do you really think lightning will strike you if you lie?”
Tang Xiao bit her lip, “But…
I really haven’t!
Dad, you know , Jie is my first love, I’ve never had a formal relationship with another man before…”
Tang Long looked up at Tang Xiao’s face, filled with an urgent, aggrieved look, and sighed:
“Don’t get so worked up, why are you raising your voice so much?”
“You’re feeling wronged after being questioned in succession?
Getting upset?
Ready to slam the table and confront ?”
“Then why don’t you consider how Jie felt last night when you all wronged him?
Did he feel good about it?”
“You keep saying you can prove it with dical evidence, but what about us n?”
“Besides, how can you guarantee that a dical certificate couldn’t be faked?”
…
Confronted with a barrage of questions from her father,
Tang Xiao was utterly deflated.
She sat down huffily, pouting and muttering:
“Anyway, I was innocent before I t him, I had never been in a relationship.”
Setting down his teacup, Tang Long said with a smile:
“What’s the point of telling ?
Are you choosing to suspect people’s hearts and question their nature with the worst possible malice, and then blaming ?”
“I didn’t!” Tang Xiao defended, “I just an to say that this kind of thing is hard to prove!”
Tang Long asked with a smile, “So before, did you ask if I had other won before I got together with your mom?”
Tang Xiao bit her lip and nodded, her eyes filled with anticipation.
“I’m going to tell you today, there really was soone!”
Tang Long took a big gulp of tea, tilting his head back as his thoughts drifted, reminiscing leisurely:
“It’s just that later, I was going to join the army, and she was going abroad, so we broke up amicably!”
“The night before she left the country, we broke the rules, but we never contacted each other again after that.”
“Many years later, when I had returned to civilian life and started working, I t your mom, but we were just acquaintances then!”
“Those were the years when people were into ‘going to sea for business’.
I gave up a secure job and chose to strike out on my own in the coastal cities!”
“Out of social obligations, I didn’t sing karaoke infrequently, and being young and impulsive, I indulged in the nightlife quite a bit!”
“But later I got busier with work, and my relationship with your mom improved, and I stopped fooling around!”
As he got to this part, Tang Long saw the look of astonishnt on the young woman’s face.
“Close your mouth!
Are you that shocked?”
Tang Xiao closed her mouth but couldn’t contain her curiosity:
“So…
Dad, you actually have such a past!”
“Does Mom know about it?
Do Grandpa and the others know?”
Tang Long smirked, “Your mom doesn’t know, she never asked, and as for the old man…
There was a raid once and I got caught, it was he who pulled so strings to get out, so how could he not know?”
“My goodness!”
Tang Xiao felt like she had been struck by lightning.
“Look at you!
That ti I got caught, I was still single, and the old man didn’t even bla .
He just urged to get into a relationship and settle down quickly, to quit drifting around.
Otherwise, why is there an old saying, ‘First marry and settle down, then establish a career’?”
Tang Xiao pulled at the corners of her mouth, forcing a bitter smile.
This is mind-blowing!
A thunderous revelation!
Tang Xiao could never have imagined that she had such a wild dad.
Not only did he have a first love, he also had a wealth of experiences in idle enjoynt, and he had even been arrested…
She marveled in disbelief!
Tang Xiao felt like her entire worldview was being shattered.
In comparison, Wu Jie was as pure as a snow lotus!
If her own dad had been so unreliable, why should she be so exacting and hard on her own husband?
For a mont,
Tang Xiao suddenly felt that she might have really wronged Wu Jie…
