Chapter 270 (2/2)
_It’s too short a time to tell, but I’ll see it later on._
_It doesn’t matter what we call each other, the most important thing is to see how we get along in the future._
_I shouldn’t make Mom feel awkward and embarrassed.”_
“…”
Ideas crossed Tang Xiu’s mind one after another. After getting out of the bed and wearing his shoes, he looked at Gu Xiaoxue and asked, “How did you and Ouyang Lulu come here?”
“Via Lulu’s private jet,” answered Gu Xiaoxue.
Tang Xiu asked again, “Ouyang Lulu? Where’s she now?”
Shaking her head, Gu Xiaoxue said, “I don’t know. I never left this side hall on these three days. However, she’s very worried about you, so she should still be in this Tang Family’s residence.”
Tang Xiu nodded. When he opened the door along with Gu Xiaoxue, in an instant, dozens of Tang Family members gathered ecstatically. Su Lingyun rushed over and flew herself to him as she fell into tears out of extreme happiness.
“Mom, I’m fine,” slightly smiling, Tang Xiu patted her back gently and comforted her.
At the side, sitting in a wheelchair as his mobility was still somewhat inconvenient, a look of excitement emerged on Tang Yunde’s face. His eyes tightly locked on Tang Xiu, observing him closely. Nobody had a more complicated mood than he had. All sorts of feelings, all joys and sorrows of life, all of them bubbled up and filled his heart and mind.
However, as emotional as he was, Tang Yunde was mostly feeling ashamed and guilty.
He had never been a father. He didn’t raise him up!
If it was merely this, that was it. But in order to save him, his son almost lost his own life. As tough as he was, he couldn’t speak even after opening his mouth a few times.
Standing at Tang Yunde’s side, Tang Guosheng patted his shoulder. As his vision shifted from Tang Xiu to the slim Gu Xiaoxue, he said gratefully, “Miss Gu, I truly have to thank you for everything. You have saved my grandson’s life. No matter what you wish for, the Tang Family will absolutely fulfill it as long as it is within our abilities.”
“Saving my Grand Master is my duty. I don’t wish for anything, and the Tang Family need not repay me,” Gu Xiaoxue replied serenely.
Tang Xiu pushed Su Lingyun away gently, wiping the tears from her face. He then looked at Tang Guosheng and Tang Yunde. His sight finally landed on the excited and tearful Qin Changyue, “Grandma, I’m hungry. Please ask someone to cook something for me!”
Grandma?
Qin Changyue was stunned. A hard-to-believe expression appeared in her tearful eyes, but in an instant, it was replaced with an ecstatic expression. It was the feeling of being in a dream for her, since her grandson—Tang Xiu, who had always rejected recognizing the Tang Family unexpectedly called her ‘grandmother’.
“Alright, G-grandma… grandma will cook for you myself.”
The other Tang Family members also showed pleasantly surprised expressions. This represented Tang Xiu’s willingness, finally accepting the Tang Family and recognizing all of them and himself as a Tang Family member.
As Qin Changyue left, Tang Xiu then looked at Tang Yunde and said calmly, “Father, since you have woken up, let’s go back to Star City after dinner! Mom has waited for you for twenty years, I hope you won’t disappoint her later.”
Being called ‘father’ by Tang Xiu, a warm feeling filled Tang Yunde’s heart as tears streamed down his face. Nodding heavily, he replied with all seriousness, “Rest assured, son. I’ll use the rest of my remaining years in life to compensate you and your mother.”
Half an hour later, Tang Xiu and Gu Xiaoxue had eaten and drunk enough.
Qin Changyue, who sat beside him, looked quite satisfied as she saw that the food she cooked had nearly been cleaned up by Tang Xiu. The moment Tang Xiu put his chopsticks down, she quickly asked, “Grandson, are you full already?”
“Yes, grandma!” Tang Xiu nodded.
Pleased, Qin Changyue nodded in satisfaction and smileed, “If you like grandma’s food, I’ll do the cooking for you every day later.”
Tang Xiu shook his head, “Grandma, I still have important things to do. I need to go to Jingmen Island and following that, I’ll also go abroad. I’ll be back here when Shanghai University’s classes have started.”
Qin Changyue was surprised, “You will go abroad?”
Tang Xiu nodded and didn’t give more explanation. He then turned toward Tang Guosheng, “Grandpa, we’ll go first.”
“Can it be delayed?” asked Tang Guosheng.
Tang Xiu asked back, “Is there something else?”
Tang Guosheng said, “Since you’re here, I already planned to let you pay homage to the ancestors tomorrow as well as include you and your mother in the family tree. If you have something thing to do, you can leave after paying homage to the ancestors tomorrow.”
Pondering for a moment, Tang Xiu then slowly nodded, “Alright! I will have to trouble you to arrange rooms for Xiaoxue and Lulu.”
“No problem!”
Tang Guosheng replied immediately with a happy expression.
At night!
Tang Xiu, Gu Xiaoxue, Ouyang Lulu, and even Zhizhong and Long Zhengyu were all staying in the Tang Family’s residence. But Tang Yunpeng himself booked a dining hall in an upscale restaurant nearby and prepared eight tables to celebrate Tang Yunde having regained consciousness as well as Tang Xiu’s safety and speedy recovery.
