Chapter 38.
In the lounge of the police station, Tangli stared at the door eagerly, hoping to see Lu Yanwan who was taking notes soon.
She is safe now, so her expression looks the same as usual, cold and expressionless. Only those eyes showed a little anxiety, obviously caring about Lu Yanwan who had not returned yet.
At this time, the door was pushed open, and a dashing policewoman walked in. Behind her was a lady in her forties or fifties. She called: "Miss Tang!"
Tangli nodded without surprise, and sat down to the side again, as if making room for the lady.
"Aunt Qiao, you are really here."
Qiao Qin is the nanny at home. She has been taking care of Tangli since her mother passed away. Originally, Tangli had never thought of calling home. Anyway, her cheap dad was holding his sweet wife sweetly, so why should she be the one who brought trouble to the scenery. But Qiao Qin's youngest son worked in the police station. He knew Tang Li and knew how much his mother cared about Tang Li, so he called her.
Qiao Qin looked up and down at Tangli with red eyes. Seeing that her complexion was rosy and she didn't look like she had been frightened, she put her heart back in her stomach.
She patted Tang Li's arm and cursed: "If Wei Tao hadn't called me, would you have planned to hide this matter?"
Tangli pouted and said disapprovingly: "I have nothing to do. Why should I call you?"
Qiao Qin couldn't hold back her anger and poked Tang Li on the forehead. When she saw her forehead turned red, Qiao Qin felt heartbroken again. She sighed and sat next to Tang Li and said sincerely: "You are not getting along with me. Not to mention me, why didn't you even say a word to your father? You silly girl, they say that crying children get candy, Mr. Tang has an only daughter like you, who will love you if he doesn't love you? You don't want it, you feel that he is no longer your father now that he has a new wife, and he also cares about you very much."
Tangli really didn't want to get angry with her father, and she didn't choose to tell him just because she could solve the matter by herself, rather than making a fuss.
"Okay, okay, I'll call my dad later, so stop nagging me."
Tangli couldn't help but look outside the door again. The most important thing now was to see Lu Yanwan as soon as possible. Making phone calls was secondary.
"No, you call now." Qiao Qin made a show of taking out her mobile phone. Tangli was completely convinced. She surrendered with both hands and said, "I'll call, I'll call, isn't it okay?"
She pulled out her father's number and hesitated before calling.
The other party answered the call quite quickly, and she could tell at a glance that there was no meeting.
Tangli tapped her toes on the ground and drew circles there. She said, "Dad, I met a madman while walking in the mall today. He came up with a knife and wanted to stab me."
Qiao Qin said silently beside her: Be more pitiful and aggrieved!
Tang's father suddenly received a call from his daughter Tang Li. He was quite flattered, but after he listened to his daughter's words, the man slammed the table angrily, "Xiao Li, how are you now? Where are you? I'll pick you up right away, don't be afraid. This lunatic should stay in a mental hospital. No, he can't be a lunatic, and you can't sue him for being mentally ill! I have to let this beast sit in jail!"
Tang Li hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "Dad, I'm fine. I was rescued by a friend. She's really amazing! Her skills are enough to make a Kung Fu movie! And she's also a very nice person. She takes care of me all the time. Dad, I'm at the police station now. The police came after the madman was subdued. I'm fine and intact. You don't have to come to me. I'll go home to visit you another day. By the way, Aunt Qiao too. Here you go, keep busy with your work."
How could Father Tang listen to his daughter's advice? His daughter was almost hurt, so how could he feel like staying in the company?
"Don't worry, I'll pick you up."
After Tang's father said these words domineeringly, he hung up the phone, leaving a confused Tangli.
Tangli covered her face in collapse and complained: "Aunt Qiao, if I had known, I might as well not have made this call."
"What did sir say?"
Tang Li said weakly, "He want to pick me up."
Qiao Qin smiled with satisfaction: "Isn't this great?"
Tangli curled her lips and said unconvinced, "But I want to stay with my friends, not my dad."
"You can bring your friend."
At this point, there is no other solution. Tangli's father is a man of his word and wants him to change his mind unless he dies. These were Tang's father's exact words, so when he married a company employee, Tang Li's mother, he almost severed ties with his family.
Later, Tang's father settled the conflicts at home and married his wife.
When Tangli was six years old, her mother died of illness.
When Tangli was fourteen years old, he married a wife who was more than ten years younger than him, and he remains until now.
It can be said that Tang's father's approach to marrying his second wife was exactly the same as his original approach to marrying Tangli's mother. He doesn't need to ask for anyone's permission, he can do whatever he wants.
So the father and daughter were in a quarrel and had a stalemate for a long time.
Tangli frowned in pain and said, "Then I'll ask her later."
"Miss Tang, that friend of yours is really brave. I will also thank her very much later."
Just as the two were chatting, Tangli's little face suddenly glowed with energy. She no longer lazily sat there, but stood up and ran towards Lu Yanwan. She was completely attracted to Lu Yanwan and threw herself in her arms, if Lu Yanwan hadn't had the wall behind her to support her, it would have been difficult to hold the enthusiastic Tang Li.
"Elder ister!"
Lu Yanwan patted her back and said with a smile, "I feel relieved when I see you so lively."
There were loose black hair around her temples, which softened the contours of her cheeks. Lu Yanwan no longer had the coldness when facing evil people. She was still the woman who loved to smile.
Tangli hugged her waist and asked curiously: "Sister, have you ever practiced this skill?"
"I haven't practiced in particular, but I have learned Sanda for a while. You also know that I live alone and commute to and from get off work alone, so it is always beneficial to learn more." Lu Yanwan avoided the important and did not tell her that she had left work before. The thrilling incident occurred during the night walk, when she noticed someone was following her. If she hadn't suddenly dialed a friend's phone number and pretended to be arriving at her home, it would have been difficult to scare away the person following her.
Since then, Lu Yanwan has signed up to learn Sanda, and has also reduced the number of walks at night.
This is why Lu Yanwan must buy a car.
She didn't want to experience the horror of that night again.
Tangli was also a woman, so she thought of something after hearing Lu Yanwan's explanation.
She couldn't help but caressed the hair beside Lu Yanwan's ears, and sighed: "It really scared me just now."
Lu Yanwan smiled and hugged her back to comfort her.
In fact, what Tang Li was referring to was not the madman, but her actions when she saw Lu Yanwan coming to save her.
She had the confidence to protect herself, so she pushed her away at that time.
It's just that Tang Li never imagined that one day she would meet someone to protect her. She has always been a vicious female supporting character who everyone shouted to beat and kill. It was the first time for a big girl to be treated like this.
That's why Tangli couldn't help but hug her.
Because she was really touched.
Lu Yanwan looked away from Tang Li and finally noticed Qiao Qin, who was smiling and saying nothing.
She nodded and smiled, and Qiao Qin said kindly: "This must be the friend who saved Miss Tang."
Qiao Qin was very surprised when she saw Lu Yanwan. She didn't quite match what Qiao Qin imagined. Qiao Qin thought she would be a very handsome woman, at least with short hair. But she didn't expect that she would be such a gentle woman.
She has worked in the Tang family for many years, and her eyes have been trained to distinguish a person's financial situation.
The Lu Yanwan in front of her dressed in a simple and elegant style, making it difficult for people to feel disgusted with such a woman.
But Qiao Qin was still surprised and curious about how Tang Li met her.
Tang Li said before Lu Yanwan could speak: "Aunt Qiao, her name is Lu Yanwan, and she is my friend."
Qiao Qin's eyes flashed slightly, she stopped looking at Lu Yanwan, and no longer had the slightest curiosity about this person's identity.
She didn't know Lu Yanwan well, but she knew Tangli very well.
With such a restless father, how could his daughter be a docile lamb?
Now that Tang Li has included her in the protective circle, Qiao Qin should treat everyone equally. This is the experience she gained from staying in the Tang family for many years.
"Hello, Miss Lu, I am Miss Tang's nanny. Nice to meet you."
Lu Yanwan smiled and said, "Hello, I'm glad to see you too."
Tangli suddenly remembered her obscure father and said hurriedly: "Sister, my dad will come to pick me up later. Do you want to accompany me to see him? He must want me to go home again. If I really don't want to go back, I might as well tell him to stay at your house."
Although Lu Yanwan was not particularly aware of the conflict between father and daughter, she knew about Tangli's father's subsequent wife, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
After Tang Li experienced a domineering person like Tang's father, she began to cherish people like Lu Yanwan who could listen to advice. She rested her face on Lu Yanwan's shoulder happily and hummed, "You are so kind."
Seeing Tang Li's expression, Qiao Qin admired Lu Yanwan even more in her heart. You must know that Tang Li always has a cold face to the outside world. In the words of her youngest son, she has a world-weary face, so she doesn't have many friends like this. Now that Tangli is showing an expression that only appears in front of her family, it would be strange if Qiao Qin didn't admire Lu Yanwan.
"The matter here should be almost settled. I think the punishment for that man will be arranged by a lawyer. Miss, let's go first."
Lu Yanwan said: "Yes, let's leave here first. The police also said that we are both fine. We have done everything we need to do."
"By the way, who called the police?"
Tang Li and Lu Yanwan looked at each other and said in unison: "He Wen?"
This name is not unfamiliar to Qiao Qin. She explained: "Yes, it is Mr. He. I saw him when I came here. He seemed to be waiting outside, and there was a young lady beside him."
Tangli pulled Lu Yanwan's arm and walked out, causing Lu Yanwan to say, "Slow down."
The two people walked out quickly, and sure enough they saw He Wen and Zhou Liantong outside.
Zhou Liantong quickly raised her head when she heard the voice. She put her cell phone in her pocket, walked over and asked, "Are you okay?"
Tangli asked awkwardly, "You didn't leave."
At this time, Zhou Liantong also thought of the conflict between herself and Tang Li. She touched her nose awkwardly and said, "Brother He insisted on waiting for you to come out. I have no choice but to wait."
Tangli looked at her, then pursed her lips with a slight arc, and said, "No matter what, thank you for your concern for me."
She was very calm, but she didn't know that Zhou Liantong on the opposite side was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She raised her voice and said, "Stop being narcissistic."
Tang Li scoffed disdainfully, "Hey."
"You're mocking me?"
Tang Li really couldn't bear to see her acting stupidly, so she simply thanked He Wen and continued to drag Lu Yanwan forward.
Lu Yanwan covered her mouth and snickered. Her smile became brighter and more beautiful as she looked at the two noisy people.
But there are always people who don't know how to read people's eyes. He Wen caught up with her and asked with concern: "Tangli, is that person really a lunatic?"
Tang Li turned around and said calmly: "Yes, he is a lunatic."
"He...how could he do such a thing?"
Tangli stopped and said sarcastically: "His girlfriend broke up with him because he was not doing well at work and often quarreled with her, so they broke up. But this man thought that his girlfriend had cuckolded him, otherwise they would have talked things out. His girlfriend of seven years broke up as soon as she said she wanted to break up. When his career and love ended in failure, he collapsed. He wanted to kill me just because I was beautiful and it irritated him."
She spat in disgust: "He is the one who deserves to die the most. If you don't have the guts to commit suicide, just kill other women. It would be better if this kind of harm is eliminated."
"..Tangli, this is a bit too much."
Tangli looked at him in disbelief and laughed angrily: "Is there something wrong with you? Are you a good person or a bad person?"
Lu Yanwan raised her arms and held Tangli close to her side, preventing Tangli from leaving again.
Facing He Wen, she said, "Aren't you taking me to see your father? Let's go."
Qiao Qin looked at He Wen coldly, having the same doubts about him as Tang Li. Finally, she shook her head helplessly and quickly followed Tang Li and the others.
He Wen's expression changed uneasily, and he asked about the last person left beside him. He said, "Xiaotong, I...did I just say the wrong thing?"
Zhou Liantong shrugged helplessly and asked: "Tangli was the one who was almost hurt, so it's not too much for her to say any ugly words. Brother He, you are a good person and a very kind person, you can give a helping hand to everyone, but you can't use your kindness to hurt others."
"Brother He, you should change your personality."
She smiled at He Wen, not intending to get along with him any longer, so she turned and left.
He Wen murmured to himself, looking more embarrassed than ever before.
Tang Li stood on the side of the road with an angry look on her face, but she did not vent her anger on Lu Yanwan and Qiao Qin, and talked to them patiently.
Not long after, a luxury car stopped in front of them.
The car window slowly lowered, Tang's father looked at Tang Li, and said angrily: "I told you to bring a bodyguard with you when you go out. You have to be stubborn with me. Now you understand what it means to not listen to the old man and suffer the consequences. Alright."
"Hey, you came here by yourself, didn't you bring your little wife to see me?"
Father Tang glared and cursed: "You still dare to tease me? Your wings are so stiff, get in the car!"
Tang Li proudly put her hands in her arms and said with a smile: "Please, please, I will get in the car."
Tang's father smiled sinisterly, pointed at Tangli and clicked it a few times, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, little bastard, you have a very bad temper, just like your father."
He glanced at Lu Yanwan and warned Tang Li: "You'd better get in the car quickly. If you want your friends to see me pulling your ears and getting in the car, then you can continue to act cool with me."
Tang Li really wanted to punch him in the face, cut out Tang's father viciously, and then took Lu Yanwan's hand and sat in the back seat.
Father Tang said to Qiao Qin, "The driver will come to pick you up. I'll leave first."
Qiao Qin smiled and said, "Sorry to trouble you."
She winked at Tangli and told Tangli not to compete with Tang's father.
If she could persuade her, then Tangli would no longer be Tangli.
So Tangli silently raised the car window, saying that she didn't see anything just now.
Father Tang was driving and chatting: "This friend of yours seems much more reliable than you."
Tang Li did not fall behind, "That's right, after all, she doesn't have an unreliable father."
Lu Yanwan blinked. In fact, her father was not very reliable either.
"Damn girl, talking to you will shorten my life for several years."
"Then why don't you go talk to your little wife? Who asked you to pick me up?"
"Pepe went on a trip. I'm the only one at home. You come back with me."
Tangli refused to admit defeat and retorted: "I have no intention of going home. I want to go home with my savior and spend the night."
"You really don't want to go back with me?"
"hold head high."
"Okay, come and have dinner with me."
"I'm sorry, we both have already eaten."
Father Tang pressed his forehead. Knowing that something happened to his daughter, he was so worried that he wanted to fly over to see her. But after actually meeting his daughter, he found that he was simply looking for trouble.
When Tang's father saw that Tang Li was still acting as usual, he knew that his daughter was fine and not frightened.
It's right to think about it, like father, like daughter.
He turned the steering wheel and parked the car on the side of the road. He turned to Tang Li and said, "This won't work, and that won't work either. Get out of here."
"Humph." Tangli shook her head, unscrewed the door and got out of the car.
At this time, Father Tang stretched out his hand to Lu Yanwan and said seriously: "Thank you for helping Xiaoli today. Originally, I wanted to thank you with money or give you a good job. But I can see that Xiaoli is interested and close to you, so my gratitude may make that girl scold me. In that case, let her solve the problem. This is my business card. If you have any emergency, you can call me."
"Hey, don't take advantage of me!"
Father Tang almost stopped keeping the seriousness on his face, but Lu Yanwan couldn't help but laugh. She shook Father Tang's hand and said, "It's just a small effort, and besides, we are still friends. Tangli is a very good girl. Before I helped her, she pushed me away to keep me away from danger. This is like two people using their own methods to protect each other. I don't need her thanks. It's good to get to know her. This is Mr. Tang's consideration so I accepted the business card, goodbye."
She also got out of the car and stood next to Tang Li, neither arrogant nor impetuous, quiet and gentle.
Tang's father said "take care of yourself" and drove away.
Lu Yanwan pushed up her slipped glasses and suddenly mentioned something.
"Tangli, have we forgotten something?"
"What?"
"It seems your car is parked at the police station."
"Ah! I forgot!"
The two people looked at each other speechlessly, and then laughed.
Tang Li complained: "It's all my fault. He comes and leaves whenever he wants."
"That's probably what a man like the wind is like." Lu Yanwan added, "Then the two of us take a taxi?"
Tangli looked at the navigation on her phone and said, "This is not far from the police station. Let's take a walk."
Only Tangli can think of taking a walk on a cold day.
However, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, so Lu Yanwan also agreed.
Tangli walked with her, and the two of them shared their daily lives.
Qiu Qiu once thought that they had nothing in common to talk about.
In fact, people who really care about each other will not cause coldness or embarrassment to each other.
Tangli and Lu Yanwan are not as selfish as Qiu Qiu imagined, which is why they have such a warm relationship now.
"Sister, are you a hand control?"
Tang Li said this.
Lu Yanwan touched her face and said sheepishly, "Did I act so obviously?"
The two people who had returned to the car looked at each other. Tang Li teased and said: "It's not particularly obvious, but I discovered this not long after I met you."
Lu Yanwan covered her face and leaned against the car window. Isn't this so obvious?
Tang Li stared at her with a smirk, "What's so shameful about this? Doesn't this just prove that my hands are very beautiful? And everyone has some quirks, and hand control is very common."
Lu Yanwan exposed her fingers and asked tentatively, "Do you have one too?"
Tangli thought for a while and said seriously: "Let's role play."
"Pfft."
Tang Li was dissatisfied, "Isn't it funny!?"
"No no."
"Don't you like my hands? I just don't know if you will like them when I tickle you."
Tangli pounced on Lu Yanwan, scratching Lu Yanwan's waist with both hands, and went to almost every place that could make people laugh.
She was forced by Tang Li to have nowhere to escape, so she could only use laughter to beg for mercy.
Her hair was slightly messy and Tang Li had taken off her glasses. She was worried that Lu Yanwan would be injured.
So now she can torment Lu Yanwan without any scruples.
Lu Yanwan, who had lost her glasses, unconsciously squinted her eyes because of her sensitivity to light. As a result, some silky charm emerged.
Tangli rested her arms on the back of the chair and looked at Lu Yanwan with a smile.
It was only at this moment that the two of them realized that they were so close.
Tangli could hear Lu Yanwan's breathing even if she was so close.
Their eyes met, and no one spoke.
But Lu Yanwan thought of something -
Look at each other for ten seconds and you may fall in love with each other.
She suddenly smiled and reached out to hold Tangli's face.
Her fingertips were warm, causing Tangli to swallow unnaturally.
"You...what are you doing."
"Nothing."
She just wanted to try to see Tangli clearly, because the bright light made her eyes sore.
But when she touched her cheek, Lu Yanwan suddenly realized that Tang Li's appearance had long been engraved in her heart.
It has nothing to do with eyes.
So, she didn't want to get closer to see Tangli clearly.
Rather, she wanted to get closer.
