Fortunately, now, Tang Nuanhua is finally getting married and starting a business, and his temperament has become much docile. How can one not be happy about this
Thinking of this, Tang Zhen sat on the sofa, giggling to himself while drinking tea.
"Ring ring ring..." Suddenly, an old-fashioned phone rang.
The Tang family's landline rang, and the housekeeper, Uncle Chen, immediately stepped forward to answer it.
After saying a few words, the butler raised the microphone and said to Tang Zhen, "Master, I'm here to see you."
Tang Zhen was a little surprised after hearing this, and asked in a deep voice, "No one has called this number for a long time. Have you asked who that person is?"
"asked."
The housekeeper nodded truthfully, "But she didn't tell me. She only said that she was your old friend."
Tang Zhen was a little confused.
The landline at home was useless many years ago. Even if someone contacted me on weekdays, it was almost always for contacting decoration, water and electricity, porters, etc. The housekeeper only occasionally used it.
On weekdays, this landline phone would always sit there silently, and Tang Zhen had almost forgotten that it existed.
Now someone actually called his home phone number, and even called him by name, saying he was an old friend of his...
Tang Zhen was inevitably a little curious, so he stood up and walked over. After taking the phone, he asked, "Who are you?"
"Ouch, I haven't heard your voice for a long time, Mr. Tang!" Suddenly there was a burst of ridicule from the other side of the phone.
The voice was slightly rough, and she sounded like a woman in her forties or fifties.
"Who are you?" Tang Zhen was so surprised that he had to ask again.
"We haven't contacted each other for more than ten years. Have you forgotten my voice?"
As the woman spoke, she suddenly laughed loudly and heartily, "They say that noble people tend to forget things. I think this sentence is true. You have been very busy for so many years, and the company has become prosperous. It’s normal to forget.”
"But you haven't forgotten Yalan, have you?"
As soon as these words came out, Tang Zhen's whole body seemed to be petrified, and everything from his expression to his limbs was very stiff.
Then he asked in a trembling voice, "You, who are you?"
The woman probably guessed Tang Zhen's reaction, and immediately let out a hoarse laugh, "Yes, I am your ex-wife Qiu Yalan's best friend, Sheng Ju."
"Shengju?"
When I hear this name, my memory is like a receding tide, peeling off the flooded coast bit by bit.
The memory of Sheng Ju suddenly appeared in Tang Zhen's mind.
But when it comes to Shengju, we have to start with Tang Zhen’s ex-wife, Qiu Yalan, Tang Nuanhua’s biological mother.
Twenty years ago, Qiu Yalan could be regarded as a famous lady from a wealthy family. She had an outstanding temperament, a cold and arrogant temperament, and could not be violated.
But the daughters of famous families in that era were far different from those of today.
At that time, although Qiu Yalan was a rich man, she would inevitably have to be arranged by her family to marry into a larger company at the right age.
But how could someone as arrogant as Qiu Yalan willingly accept such an arrangement.
At that time, Tang Zhen appeared, and they naturally fell in love, knew each other, and stayed together.
However, since Tang Zhen's family background was only a small family at that time, it was not comparable to the family Qiu Yalan wanted to marry.
It is precisely because of this that Qiu Yalan regrets her marriage at all costs.
However, the Qiu family is not so easy to mess with. Qiu Yalan has been taught strictly since she was a child. Her parents are very strict with her, and no one is allowed to disobey the orders given by her.
Once Qiu Yalan wants to disobey, the Qiu family will lock her in the house, like a prisoner bird, and will not let her leave the room.
For a period of time since then, both Qiu Yalan and Tang Zhen fell into painful lovesickness.
At the same time, the wedding time was approaching day by day, and Qiu Yalan knew that if she didn't escape, she might not be able to escape at all.
Helpless, Qiu Yalan had no choice but to come to visit her best friend Sheng Ju for help.
Fortunately, the relationship between Shengju and Qiu Yalan was ironclad. After hearing the news, she obliged and agreed to help.
So, the night before the wedding, Shengju secretly "stolen" Qiu Yalan out of the window on the pretext of coming to visit Qiu Yalan.
In the night, Qiu Yalan and Tang Zhen sat in the car, taking Sheng Ju with them, and they fled without hesitation.
The next day, the wedding was held as usual, but the bride just disappeared.
The Qiu family's parents were anxiously looking for Qiu Yalan's whereabouts, but they couldn't find her at all.
The person who was marrying the Qiu family was furious when they learned that they had been let go, and threatened at the wedding that they would never be at odds with the Qiu family from now on.
At that time, Qiu Yalan had already chosen to elope with Tang Zhen.
The two of them fled to another city, completely turning a blind eye to the world.
It wasn't until a year later, when the two returned again, that Tang Nuan Hua was born.
Qiu Yalan began to inquire about the whereabouts of her family, but strangely, in just one year, she could no longer find any information about the Qiu family.
There is no more Qiu family in the stock market, and the products produced by the Qiu family are no longer sold in the market. Everything seems to have completely disappeared.
Qiu Yalan was anxious and had to go and inquire.
Finally, after painstaking efforts, I found out that the Qiu family had suffered internal losses as early as a year ago. In order to save the company, my mother arranged for her to marry someone from a large group.
Unexpectedly, just because she escaped from marriage, the whole family fell into an even more embarrassing situation.
In the end, the Qiu family was unable to resist, so they declared bankruptcy and fell into decline ever since.
As for the Qiu Group after its bankruptcy, it is said that it has been acquired by others and has changed several names.
Even if Qiu Yalan wanted to find her original family fortune, she would never be able to find it again.
It was during that time that Qiu Yalan began to miss all kinds of food and drinks, her appetite was so bad that she couldn't even feed Tang Nuanhua with enough milk every day.
Tang Zhen had no choice but to invite a wet nurse to his home.
Unexpectedly, that nanny later became Zhao Ruhong's stepping stone into the Tang family. In the end, Qiu Yalan was unwilling to face a broken family and had to leave angrily.
That year, Tang Nuanhua was only five years old.
…
"Master Tang, why are you silent?" Just as he was thinking, the woman's voice on the other end of the phone rang again, suddenly pulling Tang Zhen back from his thoughts.
Mr. Tang Zhen finally remembered who she was, and immediately smiled apologetically, "Sorry Shengju, I haven't seen you for many years. I feel a bit strange now. I didn't recognize your voice just now. Don't be offended."
Hearing this, Shengju laughed loudly over there, "It's okay, it's okay. Don't you understand my careless temperament? You can understand that."
Tang Zhen nodded, and then asked, "But why did you contact me suddenly? Could it be that you have news about Yalan?"
