"Father said a lot of things about you in his email, and it makes my heart ache. It's not easy for you. You've endured so many years by yourself. " He stopped the car and looked at me sincerely.
"Looks like you have a good relationship with your father." I heard him say that, so I said.
"Yes, my father is the person I respect the most, and also the person I trust the most." "No," he said.
"What about your mother?" I couldn't help but ask.
Wu rarely mentions his wife, and Sheng Yun never mentions his aunt, so I'm curious about what kind of woman she is.
"My father and mother respected each other ever since I was young. My mother was very nice, but she never entered my father's heart. They were forced to be together. " Tai Ziqian slightly frowned, then looked at me and smiled, "The woman in my father's heart is your mother, Su Wan."
"You know this as well?" I was surprised that Tai Feng was so open-minded that he even told his own secret to his son.
It looked like their father and son were indeed very deep.
"Yes, Father has suffered a lot for me. With his pride and his current status, there was no need for him to live a lonely life. But for me, he would rather be alone for half his life. " Tai Ziqian said with a smile.
I could hear the worry mixed in it. Although Tai Ziqian and his mother grew up abroad, he never mentioned his mother at all. What could have been his mother's fault for making him and his father brood over it for so many years?
The Bureau of Science and Technology had already arrived, and seeing that it was almost time for the officials to get off work, it would be too late if I didn't go in. Therefore, I didn't ask him any further, only telling him, "I have to send the documents for approval first. There are still some formalities.
"Do you need me to wait for you? Or when you're busy, I'll take you home. It's not convenient for you to ride in a car. " He smiled.
"No need, it doesn't matter. I'll be busy later. I'll just take a taxi home." I waved to him, got out of the car, and headed for the door of the Science and Technology Bureau.
By the time I finished, it was already past four in the afternoon. As I walked out of the door of the Bureau of Science and Technology, I saw Sheng Yun in his white Bentley, parked in the middle of the Bureau of Science and Technology, leaning coldly against the front of the car with his arms crossed and a grim expression on his face.
Why is he here? I couldn't help but be stunned.
He saw me come out, frowning and preoccupied. Is he here to pick me up?
I approached and stood looking at him. He looked up slowly, and the sadness in his eyes startled me.
I just dropped by Tai Ziqian's car on the way. It's not that bad, is it?! And because of something else?
As I thought about it, my face remained calm. Seeing that he didn't say anything, I asked, "Why are you here?"
"Where's Tai Ziqian?" He looked around and probably saw me coming out alone, so he asked me.
"You don't think so? "Sheng Yun, when did you become so humble?" F * ck, they really came to get even with me. My tone immediately became displeased.
"Get in." He ignored me and, without a word, opened the passenger door, gesturing for me to get in.
"No need, I'll take a taxi back myself. Didn't we agree to it, Sheng Yun? You took your road and I crossed my bridge. Weren't you doing well before? Why are you acting like this now? " I frowned, unwilling to get into the car.
Actually, I don't know why I'm so angry. I clearly didn't think that way in my heart, and when I first saw him, I felt a sense of joy from the bottom of my heart. However, he didn't know why. Even if he had to die, he didn't want to reveal what he was thinking.
He looked at me coldly and waited for a few seconds. When I didn't move, he carried me into the car and closed the door without a word.
"I really don't need you to take me home. I'll just take a taxi. "Sheng Yun, how many times do I have to tell you that we really …" He forced me into the car and fastened my seat belt. Angry, I shouted at him.
Unexpectedly, just as I finished venting my anger, a sudden sentence from him scared me out of my wits.
"Old man …" "It's almost over." Sheng Yun's tone was especially heavy, with a hint of tears in his voice.
I couldn't help but look at him. His hands were clasped tightly around the steering wheel, and the grave expression on his face made me feel an inexhaustible heaviness.
"Ah …" I was surprised and immediately understood why his expression wasn't right, "I'm sorry, I thought … "So that's how it is."
At that moment, my heart hurt. I said, "Don't be sad."
"I need you to accompany me home. After all, in name, you are my fiancee." When he turned back to me, his voice was calm again.
I think the Old Man must be the closest person in the world to him, and I admire his powerful self-healing ability. He was clearly on the verge of crying just now, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, his sorrow had been completely hidden away without a trace.
"Alright." At that moment, my heart was filled with sadness as well. I understand the feeling of about to lose someone, especially someone close to you.
I suddenly realized that he seemed so powerful, but his heart was lonely, and he needed the comfort of his emotions. At this moment, I realized that even though I could feel the pain myself, I couldn't even say a word of consolation.
Once again, I accompanied him back to the Sheng Family. The huge villa looked so clean and desolate, and the moment I got off the car, Sheng Yun held my hand, looked fixedly at me, and then whispered into my ear: "I hope you can cooperate with me, and show some affection."
"Alright." I pulled away from him and took his arm. He paused, then tried to smile at me.
There was no one in the living room. Everyone was gathered in the old man's room. The old man's room was on the first floor. The room was large, and everyone was standing around a large mahogany bed. On the bed lay a dying, shrivelled old man.
"Master, the Young Master is back." As we entered the room, the butler called us by the old-fashioned name.
The crowd opened up a path. I held Sheng Yun's arm, stretched out my belly and slowly approached the big bed. There was a dense mass of people in the room, they should be people from the Sheng Family family, some of them I know, some of them I have never seen before.
Sheng Yun's parents and three elder sisters were there. When they saw us enter, they were expressionless, as if they weren't from the same family.
I saw Tai Ziqian and Tai Feng in the crowd. The old man was approaching his end, and Tai Feng also arrived at the scene. Tai Ziqian slightly nodded at me, and I also slightly nodded my head. Then, a sharp gaze swept over beside Tai Ziqian.
Following the light, I saw a tall and slim, well-maintained, and elegant middle-aged woman. Her face was about 50% similar to Sheng Yun's and about 30% similar to Tai Ziqian's. It seemed that she was Tai Ziqian's mother.
So Tai Ziqian's mother was not an ordinary person. Standing together with Tai Feng, she seemed to be a perfect match. But for some reason, they were separated by a distance and didn't feel any intimacy at all?
I carefully observed the people in the room who had different expressions on their faces. Perhaps it was because the old man's deterrence was still there, so everyone was standing there respectfully and solemnly. The large room was extremely heavy and quiet, so quiet that one could only hear the thumping sound of Sheng Yun's shoes on the floor.
"Yun, come here." Seeing that Sheng Yun had returned, the old man slowly opened his eyes. He raised his powerless hand and waved at Sheng Yun.
Sheng Yun hurriedly walked over, and quickly held the old man's hand. He said to the old man: "Grandfather, I'm here. I've brought Shubei."
The old man's eyes began to search anxiously. I hurried over and leaned over him. "Grandpa, I'm here. The child is all right. "
"Yun …" The old man seemed to feel more at ease. He held Sheng Yun's hand tightly and said vaguely, "Grandpa …" Grandpa is leaving, grandpa... I can't take it anymore. In the future … Sheng … The Sheng Family is in your hands, you must … "
The old man was no longer as impressive as he was before. In just a few short months, he had lost all of his dignity. His eyes were sunken in and he was breathing heavily. But I could feel that everyone was listening attentively to what the old man was saying to Sheng Yun.
Just as the old man finished speaking, a sharp female voice came from behind me. "If we hand it all over to him, then should we drink the northwest wind? Old man, we've been guarding your bed for days, and I hope you can change your mind. I didn't think that before you die, you would still choose this bastard who has no one to support him! "
"Grandfather, you have been biased for so many years. I never thought that death would be so unfair. What is so good about this bastard? Isn't he just a lackey? Is there really a need for you to be so confused? " Sheng Yun's elder sister also scolded him afterwards.
"What did you say?" Sheng Yun let go of the old man's hand and slowly stood up to interrogate his elder sister.
"I say, you little bastard, your good days are coming to an end. Once Grandpa dies, I want to see who in this family will support you." We are the descendants of the true sect's Sheng Family, but you, you are just a p. " His big sister gave him a middle finger and shouted proudly.
The old man coughed violently on the bed. "Pa!" Sheng Yun fiercely slapped his elder sister's face!
The originally quiet environment instantly turned chaotic.
