Chapter 2823 This Family Has Its Own Conflicts
In the evening.
A man and a woman argued in low voices in an old neighborhood in Beijing.
"Didn"t I say not to expose Pengfei"s face? How can he face his peers in the future?"
Tian Dali was furious. His fists were clenched, and the veins on his neck bulged. His face was red as he shouted at the woman.
w.a.n.g Guifen was counting money with saliva-stained hands. She did not even look up as she impatiently said, "So you know how to save face now? Who asked you to owe so much money? If I wasn"t forced to, would I use our kid to extort others?"
Tian Dali was rendered speechless. He rubbed his hands and walked around the narrow room in the rental house.
Then, he s.n.a.t.c.hed the money and glared at her. "This is the last time. You"re not allowed to let the reporters interview Pengfei again!"
Furious, w.a.n.g Guifen s.n.a.t.c.hed the money back from him and held it like a treasure. Then, she noncommittally said, "What are you afraid of? Anyway, we"ve earned so much money. Who will know about this if we go live somewhere else? We now have money for his marriage in the future. I did this for his own good. Otherwise, with a father like you, he will be single for the rest of his life!"
Tian Dali"s face turned red, but he knew that he was not capable of giving his son a good life.
He suppressed his anger and thought of the professor who had been framed by them. Feeling a little guilty, he hesitantly asked, "Do you think that professor will be expelled?"
"It"s none of your business." w.a.n.g Guifen was more at ease than him. "He"s a man of high status. He"s not short of money. If he"s fired, so be it. It"s not like he"ll starve to death."
He still felt that he had done something wrong this time.
At this moment, they were interrupted by a knock on the door.
w.a.n.g Guifen immediately hid the money. Then, she slightly raised her chin and asked, "Who is it?"
Tian Dali went to open the door. "We"ll know once we take a look."
He opened the door and saw a man in a suit standing outside. He looked entirely out of place in this old neighborhood.
He had done something wrong and was very afraid. His eyes flickered and he wanted to close the door, but the man was quick to block it. He said with a smile, "h.e.l.lo, I"m a lawyer from Kaixuan Lawyer"s Office. I"m here on behalf of my client to deliver a lawyer"s letter to you."
He took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Tian Dali. Then, he looked inside and asked, "Is your son not at home?"
Tian Dali"s heart pounded. He immediately pulled a long face and moved forward to block his line of sight. "Why are you looking for him?"
The young lawyer smiled gently. "Oh, nothing much. I just wanted to see the defendant.
"My client has sued three people, including your son."
Tian Dali"s face turned pale. The envelope suddenly weighed more than 500 kg. He said in a low and m.u.f.fled voice, "He"s still a child. How can you…"
"Mr. Tian!" The lawyer interrupted him. He dropped his smile and revealed a faint sense of dignity. "You know very well what you"ve done! Age is not an excuse. Everyone should be responsible for their own actions. Otherwise… how disappointed would a good person be after doing good deeds? Don"t you think so?"
Tian Dali was rendered speechless.
It was mainly because he was guilty and did not have the confidence to refute.
