Star City, Longchu Restaurant.
In the luxurious presidential suite, Tang Guosheng was sitting on the sofa in the living room. He had quit smoking for more than ten years and lit a cigarette again. Even if his children stopped him, he could not extinguish it. There was a deep frown on the old face, and his eyes occasionally glanced over the mobile phone placed on the coffee table in front of him.
wait!
He was waiting for information, which was the order he gave after leaving Star City Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.
"Ring ring ring..."
The ringtone of the mobile phone finally rang in Tang Guosheng's expectation.
"explain… "
Tang Guosheng put out his cigarette very quickly, picked up his cell phone and connected it, and said in an extremely serious tone.
A voice came from the mobile phone: "Chief, Tang Xiu's information has been investigated clearly. He is twenty years old this year. He once had excellent grades, and this year he won the first prize in science in Shuangqing Province. His hometown is Sujia Village, Qinghe County. He has no father. It was his mother Su Lingyun who raised him. There was a grandmother in his hometown... "
After Tang Guosheng heard that Tang Xiu's real age was twenty, he stood up suddenly. When he heard the name "Su Lingyun" again, his old body could not help but tremble.
He can be sure!
Tang Xiu is his grandson.
Age, consistent.
Single parent, only mother, consistent.
Su Lingyun, the last word is Xiaoyun, which is consistent with what the younger son said.
Tang Guosheng didn't believe that so many coincidences were just pure coincidences.
After listening to the report.
After a long while, he slowly sat back on the sofa, his eyes a little moist and a little complicated. He understood Tang Xiu's anger and hatred. The younger son's incident happened so suddenly that he couldn't even explain it to Su Lingyun.
only!
He didn't understand why Su Lingyun hadn't gone to Beijing to look for the Tang family for so many years. Didn't she know that she had children and grandchildren of the Tang family and was already the daughter-in-law of the Tang family
Tang Yunpeng stood aside, looking at the complicated expression on his father's face. After hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Dad, what's the result?"
Tang Guosheng slowly raised his head, looked at his children and nephews in front of him, nodded and said, "That's right. Tang Xiuzhen is your brother's son, my grandson."
Tang Yunpeng said quickly: "But his age..."
Tang Guosheng said: "That's his excuse for not wanting to recognize us. His real age is twenty, and he only has one mother, Su Lingyun, and no father. Since he was a child, he grew up in his grandmother's house in the countryside."
For a moment.
Tang Yunpeng, Tang Xia, and Tang Dong understood.
Tang Yunpeng said in a deep voice: "Dad, since he is a descendant of our Tang family, we cannot ignore him. Regardless of whether he is willing or not, he must return to Beijing with us and kowtow in front of the ancestral hall to acknowledge his ancestor. Moreover, his medical skills It’s so powerful that he can even cure your asthma for so many years. Maybe he is really sure to wake Yunde up from his slumber.”
Tang Guosheng shook his head bitterly and sighed: "It is necessary to recognize our ancestors and return to our clan. However, I am afraid that this process will be very difficult. When he has determined our identity in his heart, you can all see the hatred he showed. Here it is. The hatred accumulated over the past twenty years will not disappear in a short time. Besides, our Tang family is really not qualified to ask him for anything. Not to mention that he cured my asthma. Their mother and son are alone. In life, I believe I have suffered a lot and suffered a lot over the years.”
Tang Xia thought for a moment and asked, "Dad, how do you decide?"
Tang Guosheng said in a deep voice: "I will go to Qinghe County myself. Set off now, and you can arrange a car for me."
"I am coming too!"
"I am coming too!"
Tang Yunpeng and Tang Xia shouted in unison.
Tang Dong opened his mouth, but he was afraid of being scolded by his uncle Tang Guosheng, so he held it back.
Tang Guosheng shook his head and said: "Xiaoxia, just go with me. Yunpeng, our Tang family is already in a very unstable stage because of my illness. You must return to Beijing to help your third uncle stabilize the situation. In addition, Xiaotong's Let me implement the matter as soon as possible. Even if we exchange some benefits with the other party, she must win the position. This will be helpful for our Tang family to arrange an escape route in advance."
"This... okay!"
Tang Yunpeng hesitated for a moment before reluctantly agreeing.
Qinghe County, Sujia Village.
When Tang Xiu entered the courtyard of his grandmother's house, he saw his mother washing her grandmother's bedding, while Su Xiangfei was helping to dry the clean clothes.
"Eh? Xiu'er, didn't you say you wouldn't come back for a while? What..." When Su Lingyun saw Tang Xiu, she suddenly showed a surprised expression and stood up to ask.
Tang Xiu glanced at Su Xiangfei who turned around, and then said to Su Lingyun: "Mom, I have something very important to talk to you about. Let's find a quieter place."
Su Lingyun was confused: "What important thing?"
Tang Xiu walked towards the side room where he lived and said as he walked: "Mom, you will know if you come with me. However, you must be mentally prepared and don't get excited no matter what you hear from me."
Su Lingyun laughed dumbly and said: "You kid, you are still pretending to be mysterious. Okay, I promise not to get excited."
Side room.
Tang Xiu closed the door from inside, and his consciousness came out. He found that Su Xiangfei did not follow him to eavesdrop, but sat down where his mother was sitting just now, and then washed the bedding. He nodded secretly. He turned to look at Su Lingyun and said, "Mom, I met some people today."
Su Lingyun said in a dumbfounded voice: "When you meet some people, do you need to report to me? By the way, have all the key universities in China extended an olive branch to you, the science champion of Qing Province? I've heard that. , every year in every province, countless universities compete to accept the top scorer in the college entrance examination!"
Tang Xiu said with a serious face: "Mom, the people I met are not those from key universities. They... all have the surname Tang!"
Su Lingyun was stunned for a moment, and then her expression changed drastically.
Tang Xiu said in a deep voice: "There is an old man named Tang Guosheng, and his eldest son Tang Yunpeng, daughter Tang Xia, and nephew Tang Dong. They are from Beijing, the Tang family in Beijing."
Su Lingyun's body swayed, and if she hadn't quickly supported the wall, she would have fallen to the ground. Her expression became extremely bleak, and her eyes flashed with fear.
Tang Xiu held her arm and asked her to sit on the edge of the bed, and then continued: "Mom, I think you need to tell me something. Of course, there are still many things I haven't told you, such as...his information!"
he…
His news
Su Lingyun's pupils shrank violently, and an incredible light burst out from her eyes.
he…
Still alive
Tang Xiu didn't speak anymore. He knew that his mother needed time to digest what he said.
After a while.
Su Lingyun asked in a low voice with a bit of anxiety and a bit of anticipation: "Where... is he?"
Tang Xiu said calmly: "Beijing."
Su Lingyun's face showed a deep look of disappointment, and there were crystal tears in her eyes. She bit her lower lip with her teeth and then murmured: "He's not dead... Why didn't he come to us? He knew I was pregnant back then..."
Tang Xiu interrupted her and said, "He has been in a coma for twenty years and is in a vegetative state."
"What?"
Su Lingyun was shocked by Tang Xiu's words. She looked at Tang Xiu blankly, as if she couldn't believe what she heard.
Twenty years
Vegetative state
he…
A moment!
Tears welled up in Su Lingyun's eyes, and she felt a deep sense of regret in her heart. She regretted why she didn't go to Beijing that year, why she didn't go to find him when she knew his home was there.
Tang Xiu gently hugged Su Lingyun, patted her back and said, "Mom, since I was a child, I have always known that you are a strong woman. Although you are soft on the outside, you have a strong heart. Don't cry, please tell me what happened back then."
After Su Lingyun cried bitterly for a while, she raised her tearful face and said bitterly: "Back then, his comrades asked him to go out and told me that he was going out to drink. I didn't take it seriously at the time, but waited and waited for a whole day. Two days, three days..."
"He disappeared without any news. I called the police, but there was no result. I believed he would not abandon us, mother and son, so I thought he was dead, somewhere I would never find. Later, , I was taken back to my hometown by Su Shangwen and gave birth to you. After giving birth to you, I didn’t give up and wanted to go to the Tang family in Beijing to find him, but I didn’t dare to go, I was afraid... "
Tang Xiu sighed secretly in his heart and said, "Are you afraid that I will be taken away by someone from the Tang family?"
Su Lingyun nodded silently and cried: "The Tang family in Beijing has great business and great power. If they know that I have Tang Yunde's son, and that you have the blood of their Tang family, I'm afraid they will take you away. I I have already lost my husband, and I must not lose my son again.”
Tang Xiu asked: "In these years, you have never thought about going to Beijing?"
Su Lingyun said bitterly: "Xiu'er, do you still remember before you entered junior high school? Every year I told you that I would go to my relatives' house in the next city. In fact, I didn't go to my relatives' house in the next city! I just relied on my usual I saved a little money and went to Beijing to find out about your father. I have been going every year for more than ten years. I even went to the Tang family's old house in Beijing hundreds of times. I hid in a very far place and secretly observed. However, I have never heard anyone mention your dad, and I have never met him once."
Tang Xiu suddenly realized and said seriously: "Mom, I think you did the right thing. Only when I grow up with you can I feel happiness and maternal love. But..."
Su Lingyun finally stopped crying and asked, "But what?"
Tang Xiu said: "But, what are you going to do?"
Su Lingyun said without hesitation: "Go to your father! I believe him. As long as he is not dead, he has no choice but to face difficulties. He has been in a coma for twenty years, lying on the cold bed for twenty years without me around to take care of him. .So, as long as he lives, I will stay with him and take care of him for the rest of my life."
