In fact, Tang Yuxin was only joking, and didn’t mean much by it. However, Tang Zhinian thought for a moment, and then seriously nodded his head, “If they are the ones you choose, I would certainly agree. They’re good people.”
Tang Yuxin rested her hand on her forehead, gently patting it. When she had been with Qin Ziye, Tang Zhinian reacted to him as if he were an enemy, seemingly wishing to fight him to the death. And until now, he had never said a single good word about Qin Ziye.
So how come his evaluation of Shen Fei and Gu Ning was so high now?
Tang Yuxin, puzzled, asked further.
“How does dad know they’re good people? Do you know how to read faces?”
“This has nothing to do with face reading” Or even knowing them personally? Tang Zhinian carefully cradled his youngest son, allowing him to continue sleeping. He then faced Tang Yuxin, devoid of any joking in his voice.
Dad believes in his own eyes. “Whether they are good or evil, sincere or false, there are certain things you can never deceive others with. Over these years, having traveled all over, I believe I have fair judgment when it comes to people.”
“And also…” His voice trailed off for a moment before he continued.
“A person who was close to having his leg amputated, yet remains so optimistic, laughing so freely, he must truly have a strong mindset.”
Tang Yuxin nodded. She acknowledged that Shen Fei had hurt his leg while saving others and just barely retained his two legs because of it.
“What about the other one?” Tang Yuxin was even more curious, wondering what her father’s evaluation of him would be.
“Another one?” Tang Zhinian thought about the image of Gu Ning, and his seemingly permanent impassive face. Gu Ning seemed to be born with a cold temperament, but he was good-natured.
“He’s young, yet has strong energy. He’s steady when handling matters. Hmm, he has his own skills, and some things he does are not something ordinary people could achieve.”
“Indeed…” Tang Zhinian laughed lightly, completely at ease, “As you know, your father is a kung-fu enthusiast. I didn’t learn it in my youth, and neither did you. If Chengcheng fails to do so, then I can only count on you to let me live this dream.”
“What? Live what dream?”
“Marry off to someone who practices martial arts, and have a son-in-law to help your dad fight.”
Tang Yuxin gazed absently out of the window.
This is a true father indeed. Yes, this is a true father. Gu Ning’s family runs a security company, and he would definitely have no trouble in a fight, he could even handle underground boxing.
The following day, Tang Yuxin took her family back to their courtyard house. She wasn’t inured, she only had slight frostbite, and with a few days’ rest, she would recover. Ting Yuan’s injury was much more serious. Her hands had been frostbitten from the snow, but recovery was just a matter of time.
As for Lin Yile, she had long been discharged from the hospital. Her father was currently searching for a house for her. He originally thought of buying her a small courtyard house like Tang Yuxin’s, but when he inquired about the price, he found it was too high and beyond his affordability. Even if he could afford it, he couldn’t buy it now. After all, his status was different from before, and he had to be cautious in everything he did.
They found a second-hand house instead. Although it was second-hand, it was still quite new. Most importantly, it was close to the school and the building was nice. On the second floor, with a bit of renovation, it would be no different from a new house.
Lin Yile didn’t mind that it was second-hand. She loved any kind of house. Moreover, it was so close to the school and had two rooms. She could live in one and the other one could be occupied by Ting Yuan and Song Qingtong to accompany her. Tang Yuxin’s place was too far, and she was too lazy to walk, so her own house was preferred.
Seeing that his daughter liked it, Lin’s father didn’t say much and paid for it. It was less than two hundred thousand yuan. Although it was quite expensive and consumed most of the family’s savings, but seeing his daughter happy, it was worth it.
He had no idea that decades later, the price of houses here would rise from two hundred thousand to four million. By that time, his expression would definitely be priceless. With just two hundred thousand, he had set his daughter’s life on track.
Later, when Tang Zhinian opened the door of the room and saw the furniture and decorations inside, he was quite satisfied. However, he felt a bit too monotonous, and decided to buy some more items for the room. This good house couldn’t be without good furniture. Tang Yuxin, actually thought it was already quite good as it was.
But with Tang Zhinian’s final say on the matter, there was a rare opportunity for him to show his fatherly love. Therefore, he seized the chance to show off. The next day, Tang Zhinian directly went to the furniture city. The Tang family was not short of money to spend, so Tang Zhinian bought high-end furniture for his daughter. The ambiance felt like he was marrying off his daughter. If she got married to a soldier, he would marry her off in an instant, even if he had to compensate the soldier.
But if it was Qin Ziye, even if Qin Ziye knelt down to him, he might not agree.
Tang Yuxin requested leave from school and took her brother around Beijing. The little guy was thrilled to see so many places and took many pictures. He would be boasting about these later to his friends. He had been to Beijing and even visited the previous emperor’s residence, which was magnificent and beautiful.
After a few days, when the furniture Tang Zhinian bought was delivered, Tang Yuxin experienced a feeling of chaos for the first time. It really was chaotic because Tang Zhinian had bought her several sets of traditional redwood furniture. They matched the house quite well. The antique house, redwood furniture, everything had an ancient charm, and a sense of grandeur and simplicity.
But this was very expensive, she had seen these sets when she went furniture shopping. She had been drawn to them at first glance, but the price was too high. So even though she had liked them at the time, she didn’t buy them.
There are a lot of things she wants to buy, but some of them she could, and some others, she didn’t need to buy. As for these sets of redwood furniture, she didn’t feel strong desire to buy them. Some things were suitable for admiration, some for reminiscence, some for daily use, while others were better left as dreams.
What a person wants does not necessarily have to be obtained.
Sometimes, it’s worth keeping as a wish. It also feels quite nice.
But with a wave of her father’s hand, her whim came true. The whim before her eyes was fulfilled and was subsequently gone.
Such expensive furniture. Tang Yuxin felt she should lock the house in the future. She dared not live in it.
After a few days of spending time with Chengcheng, Tang Zhinian left. Primarily because Lin’s father was leaving, and they had agreed on the timing. They booked the tickets, and still traveled by train when they returned. However, by next year, Qing’an airport would be in use, and they could take a flight back home, instead of spending two days on the train each trip.
