Chapter 279: We Are Family
Tang Zongting, a hero with billions of family assets, died in bed at a late age, and the cause of death was a drug overdose.
The most suspicious personal doctor of the Tang family has long been missing.
Of course, such news only circulated in a small circle, and only a few people knew about it, and no one even knew about the Bai family.
The Tang family announced that Tang Zongting died of myocardial infarction, but despite this, many listed companies held by the Tang family were more or less affected, and their stocks plummeted.
Tang Wen seemed to have become a different person overnight, hatred did not blind his eyes, he never mentioned revenge, and he did not stay in front of the mourning hall for long.
Instead, he inspected various companies for the first time, and as the new head of the Tang family, he appeared in front of countless subordinates with his head held high in order to stabilize the morale of the army.
Tang Wen defended his family's territory outside.
Tang Wu, who had no intention of family business, withdrew from the research institute to preside over various affairs at home and at the funeral home.
Compared with the elder brother, the younger brother must be a good filial son, tears flowed a lot, and he knelt and bowed to relatives and friends, and he was still kneeling on the ground until late at night.
After his wife Geng Su arranged for someone to send her mother-in-law and son away, she lovingly helped her weak husband and said, "Let Taozi and them stay for a while, you can take a rest, you can't bear it like this." β
Several of Tang Zongting's nephews, nieces and nephews, as well as the third generation, mostly settled in the magic capital, so they rushed over early in the morning.
Moreover, Tang Zongting's brothers and sisters are also alive, and there are many people who guard the spirit.
Tang Zongting's sister, who is usually the most pompous, is crying hysterically at the moment, loudly remembering the past decades of the sister and brother.
I don't know, I think the friendship between the sisters and brothers is deep.
In fact, Tang Wu, the aunt, except for some small tricks to pull some business from her younger brother Tang Zongting, I don't know how many times she scolded her brother for being a white-eyed wolf, and the sister-brother friendship has long been polished by principles and money.
Tang Zongting saw that his sister and brother-in-law were misers, and they were by no means materials for business, and the business they got was a mess again and again, so he naturally refused to reuse them.
On the other hand, the two of them also feel that they are stingy as younger brothers, and they have a great family business but refuse to support them.
So over the years, there has been a harmonious atmosphere on the surface, but in fact, there has been an indelible mustard, and both sides are one in front of each other and one on the back.
Except for this aunt who is different from the outside, the others are by no means as docile as they seem, they are kneeling and crying, maybe they are glad in their hearts that the big ship of the Tang family has changed its owner, and their lives will go to the next level.
And the one who succeeded Tang Zongting was Tang Wen.
Compared with Tang Zongting, Tang Wen's relationship with his relatives is much better, and Tang Zongting is like a majestic emperor in the Tang family, and he can't tolerate anyone to make small moves under his nose.
His younger brother Tang Zongwei knows this best, because Tang Zongwei has been in prison for six years and is still in prison, expounding the old saying that his brother is settling accounts to the extreme.
If you embezzle my money, I'll put you in handcuffs.
Tang Wen is a little domineering outside, but he has always been stingy with respect for his elders, and he is also generous to his brothers and sisters of the same generation, and he is far less unfriendly than his father.
Geng Su helped her husband away from those hypocritical faces, and came to a conference room specifically reserved for the Tang family, saying that the conference room was actually thirty or forty square meters, and although the environment was better than the outside, it still made people feel creepy.
After comforting her husband a few words, Geng Su sighed and asked in a low voice, "Did Dad leave a will?"
Tang Wu shook his head, no
Knowing is saying no or not knowing.
Seeing her husband's casual appearance, Geng Su felt very uncomfortable.
But there are some things that even her husband can't say clearly.
Tang Wu has always been indifferent to the family industry, and I am afraid that he doesn't even know how many companies there are under the family.
Obviously, you can enjoy hundreds of millions of family assets, but for the so-called dream, you are immersed in biological research.
Over the years, Geng Su has been knocking on the side, hoping that her husband will be more ambitious and less chaotic dreams, but Tang Wu just smiles every time, saying that what is the use of asking for so much money, not worrying about clothing or food, and a family of three is happy.
Tang Wu's concept made Geng Su not say much, she couldn't tell Tang Wu that she wanted to be a wealthy lady when she married into the Tang family, right?
Teenage girls will feel that getting married and having children is a continuation of love, and mature women will definitely smile and say to them that it is good to be young.
Where is there so much love in this world, getting married and having children is just a continuation of life.
Geng Su thinks that she is not a money worshipper, and she fell in love with Tang Wu at the beginning, not only because Tang Wu had a rich father, but also because Tang Wu himself was more valued.
Although she looks average, Tang Wu has a trait that makes her can't help but admire, she is kind and low-key, she never squanders but is willing to spend a lot of money for her, she is simply the prince she dreams of, and marrying him does not live up to her beauty at all.
Several years have passed, Tang Wu's dedication to her has never changed, she is a model of a good husband inside and out, and Geng Su also feels that she should be very satisfied.
But in that social situation, in the eyes of every girlfriend, she is pitiful.
At first, she didn't care about it, but over time, she also felt inferior, because everyone around her was comparing.
A few years ago, I rubbed dinner with her with a shy face, got an outdated watch that she gave away, and I couldn't wait to help her pour her footwater.
Turned into an imported sports car, swaggering in front of her.
A courtesan classmate who doesn't know how many rich old men and young masters have a leg with him succeeds in ascending to the throne with the seed in his belly.
She kindly gave the child a gift of 800 yuan, but she received a blank look without any concealment.
But she can't say that 800 yuan is already her pocket money for a week, according to the habits of their family of three, any expenses must be booked, Tang Wu can spend a lot of money for her, but he has always been very concerned about this kind of expenses, and feels that it is a very naΓ―ve thing to use money to make comparisons.
She doesn't want to compare, but everyone in this world is comparing, you are no better than others will hold your arm and whisper to you, and then unconsciously, in the eyes of the people around you, you have been compared to your good friend.
When you are telling yourself that you just need to be yourself, there are too many people who are conspiring to slander you, and they will subconsciously look at people through the cracks of the door.
For a year or two, others still think that you are acting in Taoguang and keeping a low profile, but several years have passed, and your husband, who has high hopes from bystanders, is still doing so-called research.
It's a joke, how many people will respect you?
I don't know when it started, Geng Su began to resent her husband's refusal to fight, obviously there is a billionaire fortune, but he lives a small life that is not much better than ordinary people.
Today, because of the funeral, the seven aunts and eight aunts gathered together, she didn't believe that Tang Wu didn't notice that the juniors as young as eleven or twelve years old all had completely different attitudes towards their two brothers.
Why?
It's not because Tang Wen is the successor of the Tang family, and Tang Wu is just an inconsequential character of the Tang family.
However, what made her unbelievable was that Tang Wu hadn't realized what he should do.
Geng Su couldn't tell the grievances, and shouted softly with tears: "Husband." β
Tang Wu put his arm around his wife's shoulder, thinking that his wife was worried about him and wanted to continue to comfort him, and his sad face immediately squeezed out a smile.
Seeing such a husband, Geng Su wanted to swallow the words into his stomach, but if he didn't say it now, I was afraid that he would not have a chance in the future.
She clasped her husband's hand with both hands, and said with tears in her eyes: "Husband, I have never regretted marrying you, I have lived a very happy life over the years, the family of three is harmonious and healthy, if you were born in a middle-class family, I will think that our life is the best." But have you thought about it, I am the only daughter-in-law of the Tang family, my father-in-law is a billionaire, and others think that I should not live the life I am living now.
I know that we can't live in the eyes of others. But I'm really fed up, a woman whose husband bought a pterodactyl with a loan will look at me with squinted eyes, and a few yellow-faced women in the fitness club near the community were still with my parents at first, and they didn't know where they heard some news about me, and suddenly they treated me as a marginal person, and even sneered in front of me. Husband, I really feel so wronged, I can obviously not be looked down upon by these people. β
Tang Wu didn't seem to be surprised at all by his wife's words, but he was a little more sad and compassionate, and said to himself: "I'm sorry, I thought you didn't care too much about those eyes." β
Geng Su said: "Do you know that I have been wronged outside?"
Looking at his wife's obscure expression, Tang Wu sighed and said, "How could I not know, although I rarely accompany you to parties, sometimes it can be seen from your phone call, isn't the sister you recognized a few days ago disgusting you in the circle of friends?"
On the one hand, Geng Su was very happy that her husband was so careful about everything related to her, but on the other hand, she couldn't help but blame her husband for not taking any practical action knowing that he had been wronged.
She used to admire her husband's cleverness, but later she felt that it was not a good thing to be too smart.
The husband sees things too clearly, in his eyes, the world should be built from countless data, and money is just numbers, and for others money is more and better, but not for him.
What he pursues is simplicity, so he has never struggled with complex human hearts, let alone being in the limelight at various parties, and he has always ignored the family business.
He asked, "What do you want?"
Faced with her husband's inquiry, the silent Geng Su didn't know how to answer for a while.
In fact, this was not the first time Tang Wu had asked her this question, and in the past, she had never dared to say the idea in her heart.
Even at this moment, there are many concerns.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and said firmly: "I want our share of the family property." β
The expected answer, Tang Wu didn't think about it, nodded and said, "Don't worry, as long as I open my mouth, my brother won't refuse." β
Geng Su was overjoyed in his heart, and did not forget to remind: "Don't take it for granted, you have never had the idea of inheriting the family property, let alone any action, and now you suddenly want to fight for the family property, and my brother will give it to you with both hands?"
Tang Wu looked at his wife and said in a deep voice: "Have you heard too much about fighting for family property? If there is this possibility, I will not fight." β
Geng Su said angrily: "Okay, you are brothers, and I am an outsider." β
Tang Wu said with a complicated expression: "We are a family. β
Before Tang Zongting died, he had never said anything like that.
