Seeing that his mood was extremely good, Secretary Wang laughed and said.

Tang Hongbo wiped the smile off his face and thought for a while before replying.

Tang Hongbo looked at the clock on the wall. It was already close to six, and he knew that his father would make it available at seven o'clock every day.

And because he rarely returned to his dwelling due to Duan Wenzhuo's matter in the past few years, he did not meet for long, and his emotions were not that deep.

The reason his relationship with Duan Wenzhuo could not be considered deep was just because his personality was cold and he did not like to interact with others. Actually, it was more because the old man had opposed him when he was married to Duan Wenzhuo in the past.

It was also because of his persistence that he had not seen father and son for so many years, and his feelings had become more indifferent.

He didn't know if this matter had anything to do with the old man, but he knew, and believed, that he must have said something to her three years ago.

The old residence of the Tang clan was located on the north side of Mount Lin. Most of this area was filled with simple and unadorned villas.

The Tang Clan was the largest villa in this area.

When Tang Hongbo parked the car in front of the old house's door, it was already seven o'clock. Old Zhang had already been waiting for a long time, he was the house's butler and an elder who had watched him grow up.

"Young master, you're finally back. The lord has been nagging at you for several days, and he's finally looking forward to seeing you." Uncle Zhang looked at Tang Hongbo and said passionately.

Tang Hongbo knew that Uncle Zhang had said it on purpose, wanting to ease his relationship with the old man slightly. He did not expose him and only smiled.

"Where's my dad?"

"Master is in the restaurant lighting you up. Have you eaten yet?" Uncle Zhang laughed.

When Tang Hongbo went in, he saw his father sitting in the dining room with a sumptuous meal on the mahogany table.

"Aiya, young master, you've finally come. The lord has been waiting for you for a long time." Nanny Lin was exceptionally happy when she saw him.

Tang Hongbo nodded his head and lightly called out.

"Dad."

Old Man Tang looked to be in good shape, but it was just that it could not match the years of life that had passed.

The silver hair at the side of his temples made him no longer look so young. It was just that his father and son had the same personality and were rather indifferent.

"Sit down." Old Man Tang looked at him and said indifferently.

Tang Hongbo sat down.

There weren't many family members and it was very lonely. Sometimes, Meng Qingxia would bring Yi Yi to accompany the old man to eat dinner, and it would seem to be more lively. But today, he intentionally did not call Meng Qingxia over.

"Why are Qingxia and Yi Yi not here?" Tang Hongbo suddenly asked softly.

"I didn't call them." Tang Hongbo said truthfully.

The old man looked at him deeply, then pretended to be relaxed as he spoke.

"Looks like you have something to talk to me about, huh?"

Tang Hongbo nodded his head, and then, no one said anything else.

After the meal, the fragrance of the tea slowly wafted out. Old Man Tang liked to taste the tea after dinner, Tang Hongbo knew this very well.

So today, he accompanied Old Man Tang and brewed tea in the courtyard. He took this opportunity to ask about what happened three years ago.

"You look like you have a heavy heart. Just say whatever you want to say." Old Man Tang asked while brewing the tea.

"I heard that you also have something to talk to me about today. Tell me first." Tang Hongbo said softly.

"Alright, let me ask you, did the young mistress of the Wang family go to your company today?" Old Man Tang asked softly.

Tang Hongbo immediately thought of the young miss of the Wang Family, Wang Yahan, who had caused such a ruckus in the company.

Unexpectedly, he hadn't taken the initiative to look for her yet. Instead, she told him the reason.

"Yes, she came. What, she complained to you?" Tang Hongbo snorted.

That's right, Director Wang called me here in the afternoon, what did you do to the Miss Wang? Old Man Tang said as he extended his hand out and gave him a cup of tea.

Tang Hongbo sneered.

"Did she say that?"

"No matter what they say, their daughter has been wronged at our company. If they want an explanation now, they have to at least appease it." Old Man Tang said leisurely.

"Soothe? Miss Wang smashed our company's bills, so I've already sent them to Director Wang's office. This is my best way of consoling them. " Tang Hongbo said with a cold expression.

Suddenly, Old Man Tang's face changed. He placed the cup down heavily on the table, and the tea in the cup splattered onto the table.

"What are you doing?" Are you doing this, for the sake of that new designer? " Old Man Tang finally asked the question that he wanted to ask the most.

"So dad said that it doesn't matter, but I never would have thought that nothing in the company could be hidden from you." Tang Hongbo said softly.

"You, I did say that I don't care about the company's affairs, but the company is currently talking about that French designer, more or less I know about her. This designer has such an influence on the company's reputation, yet you still want her to stay in the company?" Old Man Tang said with dissatisfaction.

Tang Hongbo casually retorted.

"How I hire her is my business. Since she has the ability and talent to create value for the company, it is perfectly justified for me to let her stay in the company."

"Is that so? I heard that she's a woman. She couldn't have taken a fancy to someone else, right? " Old Man Tang looked at him and asked.

Who knew that Tang Hongbo would laugh.

"Even if I have taken a fancy to him, so what? What does it matter if a man isn't married? "

Old Man Tang was really angry now.

"You can either not come back and sing a different tune to me the moment you come back. All these years, how many times have I arranged a blind date for you? How many times do you think you've been there? Is she still thinking about that woman? "

Old Man Tang also knew that Duan Wenzhuo was his reverse scale. All these years, the person who had been looking at his own son and thinking about him was her, so he didn't bring it up again, and it gradually became less and less. He could only arrange a blind date for him, but he hadn't gone there even once.

Just thinking about it made him angry.

"Father, let me tell you the truth. The reason why I came here today is because I want to ask you something. Three years ago, did you say anything to Wenzhuo? that led to her disappearance? " Tang Hongbo directly asked, as if he was interrogating the suspect.

Old Man Tang angrily slammed his hand on the table and stared at him.

"Are you questioning me, suspecting me?"

Tang Hongbo appeared abnormally calm.

"I didn't mean that. I just hoped that my father would tell me the truth."

Old Man Tang coldly snorted.

"I have nothing to tell you. Back then, she was clearly pregnant with the Tang clan's child, but she still eloped with another man. Is such a woman worth your attachment until now?"

"I'll say it again, she didn't elope. She was my wife all along." Tang Hongbo looked at him and said resolutely.

"Back then, the words were clearly written in black and white. Only you would fall for that sort of woman. An illegitimate daughter is an illegitimate daughter. No matter what, you would not be able to get on the stage." Old Man Tang said bitterly.

Tang Hongbo had always known that he looked down upon Duan Wenzhuo's illegitimate daughter's identity. When he had just married Duan Wenzhuo, no one could understand why he would marry an illegitimate daughter.

Old Man Tang was even more against it, but at that time, he didn't know if he had become bewitched, or what it was like, and decided to marry her.

Now that such a thing had happened, Old Man Tang was naturally even more angry.

"She's my wife, not the kind of woman you say she is." Tang Hongbo emphasized once again.

"Then she won't be able to enter my Tang clan's clan for the rest of her life." Old Man Tang said in a stern voice.

Tang Hongbo was unable to refute him. He knew that his father had always been a very powerful person and he only took a liking to him.

"I'm not here to discuss it with you. She won't be able to enter the Tang clan's gate. Three years ago, just what did you say to him?" Tang Hongbo coldly asked.

"You just figured out what I said to her, didn't you?" Old Man Tang looked at him with sharp eyes.

Tang Hongbo lowered his head and coldly laughed, before he continued speaking.

"Actually, even if you didn't tell me, I would still know what you said to her. All you did was to make her leave the Tang clan, leave me, right?"

Old Man Tang glared at him, as if Tang Hongbo's words had hit the mark. His breathing became heavier.

"Then, with her personality, she must have agreed to you, right?" Tang Hongbo continued.

"Hmph, so what if I said it? It's her choice. "

Tang Hongbo suddenly erupted with fury.

"This is not her choice, this is your choice to help her."

Tang Hongbo suddenly felt an intense pain in his heart. Why did it have to be his own father?

"Who are you talking to? I'm not dead yet, and this family is still mine." Old Man Tang bellowed.

Tang Hongbo looked at him with despair and extreme disappointment. When he was young, his father was his role model, but now, how could he say something like that to his wife?

He lowered his head, his voice soft and filled with sorrow.

"Have you ever wondered where she would go alone with her child? How can you be so heartless? "

"My heart? "If I were to be cruel, I would not have allowed her to bear the child of our Tang clan." Old Man Tang heavily snorted.

"You really disappoint me." Tang Hongbo said as he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Halt." Old Man Tang shouted.

"About the Wang family, give them a call and explain it." Old Man Tang said softly.

Tang Hongbo turned her back on him, sneered, and then left without even turning her head back.
