Star City, at Long’s Dining Hall.
Inside the luxurious presidential suite, Tang Guosheng sat uprightly on the living room’s couch. He had stopped smoking for decades, yet he was smoking right now. Even though his children had tried to stop him, they were unable to do so. At this time, the eyebrows on his old face were deeply wrinkled as he looked at his mobile on the coffee table in front of him from time to time.
He was waiting, waiting for the investigation result which he had ordered to be carried out after he left Star City Chinese Medical Hospital!
“Ring, ring, ring…”
His mobile’s ringtone finally sounded. The call Tang Guosheng was anxiously waiting.
“Report.”
Tang Guosheng extinguished his cigarette with quite an effort as he grabbed the mobile and answered the call. His expression and voice were extremely serious.
A voice then transmitted through his phone, “Senior Chief, we’ve investigated Tang Xiu’s information clearly. He’s 20-years-old this year, with excellent academic performance and the top scorer of science subjects for Shuangqing Province this year. Hometown is the Su Village in Qinghe County, no father, was brought up by his mother—Su Lingyun. He also still has a grandmother in his hometown…”
When Tang Guosheng heard that Tang Xiu was really 20-years-old, he suddenly stood up. His old body couldn’t help but tremble upon hearing the name “Su Lingyun”.
He was now completely sure that Tang Xiu was his grandson!
His age fit. Single parent. Everything fit!
Su Lingyun, with the last character of Little Yun, also coincided with the name said by his youngest son.
Tang Guosheng didn’t believe that existed so much coincidence.
After listening to the report.
A long period of time passed before he slowly sat back on the sofa. His eyes were somewhat wet, a complex expression within. He was perfectly aware of Tang Xiu’s hatred and anger, as well as understood why he was like that. The incident that happened to his youngest son was too sudden, so sudden that he hadn’t been able to confess to Su Lingyun.
However, he neither had a clue nor understand why Su Lingyun didn’t go to Beijing to find the Tang Family after so many years. Could it be that she wasn’t sure she had borne the descendant of the Tang Family, meaning she already became the daughter-in-law of the Tangs?
Tang Yunpeng, who stood at the side, could see the complex expression on his father’s face. After hesitating for a long period of time, he finally couldn’t help but ask, “Father, what’s the result?”
Tang Guosheng slowly raised his head as he looked at his children and nephew in front of him. He then nodded and said, “I wasn’t wrong. Tang Xiu is really the son of your youngest brother, my grandson.”
Tang Yunpeng quickly replied, “But his age…”
Tang Guosheng said, “He didn’t want to recognize us and used it as an excuse. His real age is 20-years old and he lives with his mother and has no father. He grew up in the Su Village from childhood with the family from his maternal line.”
At this moment, Tang Yunpeng, Tang Min, and Tang Dong understood.
Tang Yunpeng said in a heavy tone, “Father, since he’s the descendant of our Tang Family, we can’t ignore him. No matter what he wants, we must take him back to Beijing with us to kowtow before our ancestral shrine and recognize his ancestors and family line. Besides, he also has superb medical expertise; he could even cure your chronic asthma you had endured for so many years. Perhaps, he really has the confidence to save Yunde from his coma.”
Tang Guosheng shook his head with a pained expression, “Sigh, for him to recognize his ancestors and family line is necessary, that I know. Yet, I’m afraid that it could be a very difficult process. You also saw how deep the resentment he showed when he identified our identities. The accumulation of resentfulness for 20 years, is not something that could fade away within a short while. Furthermore, let alone the fact that he has cured my asthma, just solely the lonely and forsaken life those mother and son had gone through, which I believe it’s our sin, for they have suffered so many hardships and sufferings for so many years; our Tang Family indeed have no qualifications and right to ask him anything.”
“Then, how should we proceed with this, father?” After pondering for a moment, Tang Min asked.
Tang Guosheng replied with a heavy tone, “I’ll go to Qinghe County personally. Go and prepare the car for me.”
“I am coming too!”
“I am coming too!”
Tang Yunpeng and Tang Min shouted in unison.
Tang Dong also opened his mouth, yet, for fear that his uncle—Tang Guosheng would reprimand him, he strongly held back the urge.
Tang Guosheng shook his head, “Little Min, you’ll go with me. As for you, Yunpeng, since our Tang Family has been in a very unstable situation due to my sickness, you must go back to the capital and help your Third Uncle stabilize the situation there. Furthermore, the matter with Little Tong must be carried out as fast as possible. Even if we must trade it with some of the interest the opposite party wants, she has to take that position. This retreat, all in all, would be very helpful for our Tang Family’s layout plan in advance.”
“This… Understood!”
Tang Yunpeng hesitated for a moment before reluctantly agreeing.
At the Su Village, Qinghe County.
Tang Xiu entered his grandmother’s house courtyard and he saw his mother washing his grandmother’s clothes while Su Xiangfei helped her with the laundry.
“Hmm? Xiu’er, didn’t you tell me that you wouldn’t come back for the time being? How come…” A surprised expression was suddenly revealed on Su Lingyun’s face as she saw Tang Xiu.
