Chapter 141: Two Slaps

Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Two Slaps

Tang Chuxia left the hospital, Mrs. Qin had woken up, and Qin Zhan’s cries could be heard from the doorway of the ward.

But Tang Chuxia did not go in to check, she knew the person was awake and felt reassured.

At least Gu Beihuai would not need to take risks any longer.

She did not go straight home but went to the lakeside instead.

The lake surface in winter had already frozen over, and numerous children were playing on the ice.

Tang Chuxia joined the children on the ice, played with them for a while, laughing so hard her cheeks hurt before she let herself stop.

When she got home, Father Tang had already returned from work.

Tang Chuxia watched, puzzled, as Father Tang searched for something in the house, she watched from the doorway until she saw Father Tang take out a passbook and head for the door.

She stepped out to block his way.

"Dad, where are you going?"

Father Tang was startled at Tang Chuxia’s appearance.

"I have something to do, don’t ask!" Father Tang said and continued rushing outside.

Tang Chuxia remembered a plot point from the story that matched Father Tang’s behavior at the moment, and she seriously suspected that Father Tang was up to something behind Madam Tang’s back.

"Dad, I’m just bored at home, I’ll go with you!" She linked arms with Father Tang.

Father Tang always doted on this daughter, and knowing her health was not great, he tried to placate her. However, it was hard to resist when Tang Chuxia insisted on accompanying him.

"Fine, you can come along, but you must not tell your mom!"

Tang Chuxia nodded vigorously, seeing great potential in this affair.

The father and daughter left the house, and Father Tang rode Tang Chuxia on his bicycle towards the city center square.

They eventually arrived at a bank.

Tang Chuxia followed Father Tang into the bank where he withdrew one thousand yuan.

One thousand yuan back then, when a worker’s wage was barely a hundred, was absolutely a substantial amount.

Tang Chuxia wasn’t concerned about the money itself, but she felt bad for Madam Tang.

Father Tang took out ten yuan and handed it to Tang Chuxia: "Here, buy yourself some snacks!"

Tang Chuxia did not hesitate and took it, Father Tang put away the money in his bag, and then they headed to a coffee shop.

You heard it right.

At that time, there were coffee shops.

And it was owned by a French person.

Father Tang led Tang Chuxia inside and instructed her not to talk recklessly.

Then Tang Chuxia saw Wen Wenqing seated in a corner.

Father Tang whispered to his daughter, "Your Aunt has encountered some trouble, and Dad can’t just stand by and watch. You must never mention this to your mom, she will repay this money!"

Tang Chuxia’s eyes were filled with pity.

This father might really need a good reeducation.

Wen Wenqing noticed Tang Chuxia and Father Tang coming over, a flicker of dissatisfaction crossed her face, hidden well enough that Father Tang did not notice, but Tang Chuxia, whose five senses were beyond ordinary, perceived it.

She obediently sat down with Father Tang and ordered an American coffee.

Too much sugar, too cloying.

Wen Wenqing, reassured that Tang Chuxia was not causing trouble, slightly relaxed and teared up looking at Father Tang.

"I didn’t expect you to help me at this time!"

Father Tang glanced at his daughter, coughed unnaturally, and said, "After knowing each other for so long, I couldn’t be so heartless!"

Tang Chuxia raised an eyebrow, sensing that emotions were involved.

She felt it was unfair for Madam Tang.

Wen Wenqing’s eyes reddened further, she pressed her handkerchief to the corners of her eyes, and said, "If it weren’t for Wanqiu getting married, I wouldn’t have been in such a rush."

Father Tang’s outstretched hand paused suddenly upon seeing Tang Chuxia, and he unnaturally picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip, almost spitting it out.

He wasn’t used to it.

He struggled to swallow and then squeezed out a smile.

"Wanqiu is my daughter too!"

Tang Chuxia exclaimed, "Dad, what do you mean? Is Tang Wanqiu really your illegitimate child with this woman?"

Father Tang’s face darkened, and fearing Tang Chuxia’s reckless words, he hurriedly explained, "I mean I am still Wanqiu’s father, it’s on the family register, don’t wrong me, I have never betrayed your mother!"

Tang Chuxia breathed a sigh of relief.

She smiled at Wen Wenqing, "Sorry, my dad’s recent behavior has been very misleading, I thought he has been keeping you for years!"

Wen Wenqing nearly crushed the handkerchief in his hand.

"You are a child, and I won’t stoop to your level, but as for the matters of your elders, it’s best if you as a junior do not interfere!" Wen Wenqing said, then turned to Father Tang for confirmation.

Father Tang nodded, "Xiaxia, don’t talk nonsense, Aunt Wen and I have nothing between us."

Tang Chuxia oh’ed and continued to drink her coffee.

Possibly because Tang Chuxia was there, it made it difficult for Father Tang and Wen Wenqing to say anything, but when Father Tang took out money to hand over, Tang Chuxia snatched it away.

"Xiaxia, what are you doing?"

Father Tang rebuked, only to have Tang Chuxia pocket the money.

She sweetly smiled at Father Tang, "Dad, I’m saving you!"

Father Tang wanted to scold her again when he saw someone walking into the café.

It was none other than Madam Tang, whom he was desperately trying to hide from.

Madam Tang walked over, glanced at Wen Wenqing, and then back at Father Tang.

"Give you a choice, go home right now, immediately!"

After Madam Tang spoke, Father Tang didn’t dare not to choose and could only sheepishly smile at Wen Wenqing, "Wenqing, this situation has gotten out of hand, let’s talk again in a few days, shall we?"

Wen Wenqing opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by a cup of water thrown in his face.

"You’d better not say anything either, because I’m giving you a choice too, pay up and get lost now, or I don’t mind adding another layer to your reputation!"

After Madam Tang spoke, Wen Wenqing really did cry.

"Do you even need to choose?"

Just one choice, still letting her choose.

Clearly, it was a disdain for her intelligence.

Yet Tang Chuxia seriously added, "Auntie, one is also a choice, after all, you also have the option to refuse, right?"

She blinked her eyes then said to Father Tang, "Isn’t that right, Daddy?"

Father Tang’s face turned iron blue, but he couldn’t help but nod.

Madam Tang’s gaze was sharp, and though Father Tang wanted to say something, seeing people in the café looking their way and caring about his face, he naturally wouldn’t stay any longer.

"I’ll go home first!"

Father Tang ran off.

Wen Wenqing, feeling aggrieved, went to pay the coffee bill, and then told the waiter pointing to the coffee of Tang Chuxia and Father Tang, "They have to pay for themselves!"

Fortunately, Father Tang had run off, if he had heard this, he’d probably feel chilled to the bone!

Tang Chuxia didn’t care, paid the bill, and followed Madam Tang out.

As they reached the street, Madam Tang slapped Wen Wenqing across the face.

Wen Wenqing, holding his face, looked at Madam Tang in shock.

"This slap is a warning, don’t think about playing clever tricks to swindle my money!"

Madam Tang sternly warned, giving Wen Wenqing no chance to argue, then slapped him again.

"This slap is because you dared to let Xiaxia see this disgusting side of you!"

Onlooker Xiaxia laughed, but the first to appear wasn’t Madam Tang but someone behind them.
