The dinner ended in a subtle and depressing atmosphere.
After hearing the news that she was going to marry the young master of the Xie family, Tang Jin was on pins and needles throughout the whole process, her delicate face lost all color, as if all the blood in her body had been drained, and she was cold from head to toe.
On the way home, she took a car with her mother and didn't even have a chance to communicate with Tang Wanting.
"Mom...why?"
Tang Jin burst into tears and asked with a tearful voice, "You know clearly that the person I love is brother Lin Su... You know clearly that I will only marry him, why... why do you want me to marry the Xie family?!"
There was bitterness in Chu Rou's heart, but she still answered with a calm voice: "Your father and I both think this is a more suitable marriage for you. There is nothing to say about Mr. Lin, but his family, we
Neither agrees.
As far as I know, Mr. and Mrs. Lin do not like us mother and daughter. If you forcefully marry him, a marriage without the blessing of your parents will suffer every day. Your sister is such a strong girl. It has been three years since she married into the Shen family.
You should have guessed at what date, they ended up getting divorced.
What's more, Young Master Lin has stood on the opposite side of our Tang family. He even chose to repay kindness with hatred and become Qin Shu's defense lawyer, regardless of the fact that our Tang family once supported him. I know that as a professional lawyer, it is not possible
It’s time to raise the case, but who is Qin Shu? She has repeatedly killed your sister, and she also..."
Thinking of the slander and humiliation she received from Qin Shu when she was an actress, her heart still ached, "Lin Huai's behavior and the Lin couple's connivance towards him are something your father and I cannot tolerate.
The Lin family tradition is no longer what it used to be, and I don’t want to marry them."
"But...but brother Lin Su is different from them!"
Tang Jin's chest seemed to be tightly held by a pair of invisible big hands, and his throat was so choked that it hurt, "Brother Lin Su... From the time he graduated from college to now, he has been helping his eldest brother and sister... How loyal he is to our family, can Dad see how loyal he is to our family?"
Miss you?!
If this completely negates Brother Lin Su's efforts... then he will be aggrieved and sad!"
Being simple and honest, the first thing she thinks about at this moment is not her own future, but her resentment towards her brother Lin Su. "And my sister told me that when she divorced Mr. Shen, it was not because of pressure from the Shen family, but because of the pressure of the Shen family at that time.
Mr. Shen did not love her and failed her.
But Brother Lin Su...has never let me down!"
Chu Rou's long eyelashes fluttered and she pursed her lips.
"Brother Lin Su...is very good to me...really very good..."
Tang Jin thought of the good times and happy moments with Lin Su, and couldn't help but shed tears, "Mom, I feel that I will never find a man who is so good to me again... I don't want to lose him...
…
I have loved him for many years, and I have liked him since I was a child... Until now, I can finally be with him... Please, talk to dad... don't let us separate, okay?"
"Ajin, you are the daughter of the Tang family. Don't you think you should do something for the Tang family? Are you just going to be a flower in the greenhouse all your life and not a responsible child?"
Chu Rou has always been gentle and gentle. Even when her daughter enrolled in film school without telling them and wanted to be an actress, she tried her best to persuade Tang Wanting and did not send her to study abroad to hinder her from pursuing her dream.
The stern words this time shocked Tang Jin directly, "Mom..."
"Ah Jin, every child of the Tang family must contribute unconditionally to the Tang family. Even your sister, who traveled around the world in the past few years, was as free as a little bird.
Now you have to return to the Tang family to help your father manage the hotel that is about to close down, and you will also be in charge of the huge ks consortium in the future. You can imagine how hard it will be in the future."
Tang Jin lowered her head in humiliation, and kneaded her slender hands until they were white and rosy.
Tang Qiaoer is not only her sister, but also her idol.
But she had never been jealous or wanted to surpass her shining sister like the heroine sisters in those romance novels. She also knew that her sister was so talented that she was simply beyond her reach.
But... is this the reason why she must sacrifice her love?
"Mom...I..."
"Also, it's the Lin family's family background. For you to marry Lin Su, the Lin family is too high-ranking."
Chu Rou stopped looking at her and shook her head, "Your sister is already powerful enough, and your future brother-in-law will still be the president of the Shen family. How will you be able to help your sister and the Tang family by being together with Lin Su in the future?
?
Ah Jin, you always say you want to do something for this family. Now, it’s time for you to give."
*
When she returned to Yuetangyuan, Tang Jin's eyes were already swollen from crying. She was afraid that someone would see her, so she stayed in the car for a while before getting out.
Tang Wanting's car arrived first, and he walked through the door with Secretary Qi following him.
"Tang Dong."
He paused and then noticed Lin Su who had been standing in front of him for who knows how long.
"Ah Su, it's so late and you haven't left yet?" the boss asked with a faint smile.
"Tang Dong, I..." Lin Su stopped talking, his throat was hard.
"I know, you are waiting for Ah Jin, right?"
Lin Su's thoughts were exposed, and he was embarrassed and right. After a moment of silence, he said with guilt: "Director Tang, I am really sorry for what happened to my eldest brother.
But please believe me, no matter what the Lin family chooses, I will always stand by you and the eldest lady, and my original intention will not change."
Tang Wanting raised the corners of his lips slightly and said: "This is your family matter. There is no need to explain it to me. You must have a lot to say to Ah Jin, right? Let's have a good chat and I won't disturb you anymore."
These words made Lin Su feel an inexplicable chill in his heart.
When he came back to his senses, Tang Wanting had already walked away.
After waiting for a while, Tang Hibiscus had tidied herself up before walking into the door with a pale face and a dazed expression.
"Ah Jin!"
Lin Su immediately stepped forward, opened his arms and hugged the girl he loved into his arms, unable to hold her tighter.
"Brother Lin Su...you, please relax a little, I can't breathe anymore." Tang Jin pretended to be relaxed and let out a light sigh.
Lin Su's eyes were red, but he refused to listen to her.
On the contrary, the trembling arms were still trying to tighten, and the hot lips fell on her shoulder blades, kissing her with a hot crimson mark, "I'm sorry, because of my family, I put you in a dilemma."
Tang Jin took a deep breath, and there was an imperceptible moisture in his eyes, "What happened, don't think too much about it."
The two young people, who were close to each other, hugged each other for a long time before reluctantly parting.
"Brother Lin Su, during this period... I will be planning my next career and I will be very busy."
Tang Jin's voice was soft and his eyes flickered obscurely, "Besides, I have been studying in Shengjing for four years and have not been in Haimen often. Now that I have more time, I want to... stay at home and spend more time with my parents.
You have just recovered from your serious injury. My sister said before that she wanted you to join the KS Legal Department for a trial. You must be very busy in the future... right?"
Lin Su's breath was suffocated, and his heart suddenly tightened, "Ah Jin, what do you... want to say?"
"During this period, we will not meet each other for the time being." Tang Jin tried his best to reveal a light smile.
In an instant, Lin Su's heart ached as if it was about to be torn apart, and he grabbed her shoulders with both hands, "Ajin, did Director Tang put pressure on you?! Did he not let you meet me?!"
Tang Jin smiled more and more bitterly.
She didn't dare to tell him the truth, fearing that he would be unable to bear it and collapse.
"No, it's just that so many things have happened recently... I think it would be better to wait for sister and Mr. Shen to deal with your eldest brother's matter first, and then wait for dad's anger to subside before we meet again.
Go back early, brother Lin Su, you haven't had much rest these days because of family matters, and the dark circles under your eyes...are so heavy."
Tang Jin's fingertips gently touched Lin Su's red eyes with trembling fingers, and all kinds of emotions were rolling in the painful chest.
Finally, she could no longer restrain herself, stood up on her tiptoes, held the Qingjun face of her beloved man, brought her soft lips up to her, and kissed him deeply with tears in her eyes.
"Asu, I love you..."
…
Tang Qiaoer came out of the room after taking a shower, and happened to bump into Tang Jin, whose eyes were swollen into red peaches, and he was walking quickly to the room.
"Ah Jin? Ah Jin!"
But the younger sister seemed not to hear and walked faster.
But Tang Qiaoer knew that she had heard her, and she just kept on deliberately. She couldn't help but chase after her with worry in her heart.
"Ajin, what's wrong?" She grabbed her sister's arm fiercely.
Tang Jin turned around slowly, her face still stained with tears, "It's okay, sister..."
Tang Qiaoer was stunned, "Are you crying?! Why were you crying? Did you quarrel with Ah Su? Or..."
"Sister, you and Mr. Shen... must be happy."
Leaving nothing to say, Tang Jin shook off her hand and disappeared from the corridor, refusing to stop no matter how she called.
Tang Qiaoer frowned, suddenly realizing something was wrong, she took out her cell phone and called Lin Su.
"Miss." Lin Su's voice was sad and weak.
"Asu, what did you say to my sister? She cried so sadly, did you bully her?!" Tang Qiaoer asked with her hands on her hips and her head covered.
"Ajin is crying?"
Lin Su's heart tightened painfully, but he still told the truth, "Miss, I didn't quarrel with Miss Ninth, but when she came back from outside... she was in a very bad mood.
I asked her why, and she only said... that she wouldn't see me for a while, and she didn't say anything else."
The more Tang Qiaoer listened, the more suspicious she became.
She couldn't be more clear about how much Tang Jin couldn't live without Lin Su.
And just this morning, the young couple had firmly stated that they would never leave each other. Why did they suddenly say that they would not see each other again?
"Ajin went out alone tonight? What did she do when she went out? Did she tell you?"
Lin Su thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "Ajin, it seems that he went out with Mr. Tang and the third wife."
Tang Wanting took the medicine to treat cerebral infarction under the service of Secretary Qi, and sat down on the sofa with his eyes closed to rest.
"Lao Qi...bring the spittoon, I want to vomit...vomit..."
"Right now! Please bear with me!"
Secretary Qi immediately ran to get a spittoon and squatted on one knee next to Tang Wanting.
Tang Wanting covered his chest, bent down, and retched with a painful expression, but couldn't vomit anything for a long time.
"Mr. Tang, this medicine is too powerful. You should reduce the dosage."
Secretary Qi saw this and felt uncomfortable with him, "I'm really afraid that... your illness has not been cured and your body has collapsed. What should I do?"
"As you get older, you will eventually collapse whether you eat or not. Just be patient."
Tang Wanting took a breath, and then his energy slumped down, showing a haggard look, "Just... don't let the children know, especially Qiao Qiao, I'm afraid she will be sad."
Secretary Qi's eyes were moist, "Mr. Tang, please be more optimistic. Medical technology is so advanced now that we are not afraid that your disease cannot be cured."
"I know, of course I also want to live a few more years. What if I have my hair braided and Qiaoqiao is braided? What should I do with the three ladies who had sex with me?"
Tang Wanting pinched his sore eyebrows, "But I have to make plans early. Before Qiaoqiao inherits the family business, I have to clear up possible obstacles and hidden dangers to the greatest extent possible."
"Although the eldest young master is not interested in doing business, if the eldest lady is in trouble, he will definitely sacrifice everything he has to help the eldest lady."
At this time, the living room outside the study.
Tang Qiaoer opened the door and walked in. She quickly walked to the door with a cool look on her face.
Hearing the voices of Lao Wan and Secretary Qi coming from inside, she suddenly stopped, held her breath and put her ear against the door panel.
