However, when Tang Yiming and Su Fengjin called her personally to invite her to dinner, she still had a glimmer of hope or luck in her heart. Her heart, which had just been lifted up, was now heavily smashed into the abyss. This strong sense of gap made her body tremble uncontrollably, and her eyes were dark red.
Tang Yiming was the first to come to his senses and frowned angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about! The engagement between you two was already agreed upon long ago!"
"It was you who made the agreement, not me." Tang Yu always maintained the same indifferent attitude. He turned his head and apologized to Li Hanyan: "I will talk to Master Li personally about this matter. I hope I don't cause you more trouble."
What a good sentence, no trouble.
How could it not cause trouble? How could it not cause trouble when the man she admired, worshipped, and always wanted to marry suddenly said he didn't want her anymore
"Why?" Li Hanyan's lips trembled for a long time before she finally found her voice. She raised her head and stared at the man she had admired for many years with disappointment and sadness, the man she once thought was within her reach, "Why did you suddenly cancel the engagement?"
She took a deep breath, then asked hoarsely and desperately, "You... have someone you like, right?"
"No." Tang Yu said in a deep voice. Li Hanyan's eyes flickered, but the next moment, Tang Yu's words made her lose all hope.
"It's not just love, it's - in this life, I can't live without her, I won't marry anyone but her."
If words were a sharp sword, then at this moment, every word Tang Yu said was like cutting her into pieces and severely slicing her.
For so many years, she gave up her favorite major and studied boring economics, just to have more topics to talk about with him who was always dull. He was the star in the sky, and she was always trying to get closer to him on tiptoe, chasing him hard. Even if she was just a little bit closer, she would be happy for a while.
When she thought she could finally reach out to him, he willingly fell for another star. She didn't need him to pursue her, nor did she need him to change for her. She only needed to accept all his kindness and dedication.
The feeling that she couldn't forget but could not reach was possessed by someone else without any effort.
Even though that person is her relative, how can she not be jealous
"You want to break up the engagement with me, so, how will what happened in the past - what your Tang family did to my sister and brother-in-law - end? Have you forgotten the tragedy of the past?" A thin layer of mist gradually covered her eyes, and beneath the mist was a deep and unresolvable resentment and sadness.
As soon as these words were spoken, Tang Yiming's expression changed first.
Tang Yu's face was not much better. There was a layer of frost between his eyebrows. "If you dare to mention the past in front of Xingxing, it will not only hurt the relationship between the Tang family and the Li family. Don't forget, what position you put her in all these years!"
Every word he said was filled with warnings.
After saying that, he stood up with a stern look on his face, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Son, don't leave..." Su Fengjin suddenly grabbed Tang Yu's hand. She looked up at him with a distracted look in her eyes. "What were you talking about just now? Why can't mom understand?"
Tang Yu tightened his fists. Just forget it! It's better to forget it!
"Mom, these things have nothing to do with you, you don't have to understand."
"No! I think there is a connection!" Su Fengjin insisted, and then asked, "Who is Xingxing? Who is Xingxing? What Li family? Who are her sister and brother-in-law?"
Tang Yu saw his mother's face getting uglier and uglier, and his heart tightened. Tang Yiming came back to his senses and immediately stood up and said, "Quick, carry your mother to the car, don't let her have a mental breakdown!"
Tang Yu did not dare to delay and immediately picked up Su Fengjin.
"Hanyan, your aunt is not in good spirits, we will leave for now. As for you and Tang Yu—" Tang Yiming paused, looking at his son's back as he walked away, his expression darkened, "I will try to persuade Tang Yu again."
Li Hanyan forced a smile, stood up, and maintained her elegance. "Then I'll trouble you, uncle."
After a pause, he continued, "I don't think you want to talk about the past anymore. Besides, I think your aunt is not in a good mood to talk about the past anymore."
She was always very gentle when she spoke, and her speech was neither fast nor slow. However, Tang Yiming could tell that her words were full of ulterior motives.
Tang Yiming didn't say anything else, but told the waiter in a deep voice to bring an ice cream.
Outside, in the car, Su Fengjin was still mumbling to herself, asking those questions just now. She seemed to be paranoid, and she kept asking until she got an answer. One question after another, Tang Yu never responded.
Until Tang Yiming handed her a colorful ice cream. She seemed to forget what happened immediately, her eyes lit up, and she shouted like a child, "Ice cream!"
She reached out and reached for it.
Tang Yu and Tang Yiming both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Tang Yiming gave her ice cream and she ate it with a look of satisfaction on her face.
"Is it delicious?" Tang Yu asked.
"Yeah, it's delicious. It's much better than the last time." Su Fengjin was very satisfied. She took her husband's hand and suggested, "Yiming, why don't we invite the dessert chef here back and have him make it for me."
Tang Yiming laughed, "We already have enough dessert chefs at home. If we invite more, the house won't be able to accommodate them all."
Fortunately, Su Fengjin was a reasonable person and did not insist on it.
Tang Yu drove the car, and Tang Yiming sat in the back with his wife in his arms. He finally felt relieved after confirming that she was not mentally collapsed.
Halfway through, I remembered something, looked at my son in the rearview mirror, and asked, "Is what you just said true?"
"I don't know which one you're referring to, but every one of them is true."
"You said that you have a woman who you cannot live without and will not marry without. Is that true?"
Tang Yu glanced at his father in the rearview mirror and said firmly, "It couldn't be more true."
Tang Yiming was actually quite surprised. He knew his son a little bit. He was always cold and indifferent to women. He didn't expect that he would say such a thing today. He couldn't help but be curious about what kind of person the other person was.
"If you don't even like a woman like Li Hanyan, what kind of woman would you like?"
"No matter how good she is, she is not as good as I like."
"In that case, when do you plan to bring it back for your mother and me to take a good look?" Tang Yiming asked.
Tang Yu looked through the rearview mirror and passed over his mother's face as she fell asleep. Thinking of how she almost lost control just now, he said calmly, "It's still early. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
His mother still needs more stability, and his star still needs to grow.
