53. Truth

Soon Tang Xin and Wen Yulan came in with a smile, and as soon as they pushed the door open, they found that the atmosphere was not very good, and quickly hid the smile on their faces.

Tang Xin looked left and right, and saw that everyone had embarrassed faces, and said with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Lu Zhengqi handed her the document in front of him and said nothing.

Tang Xin took it and looked at it, and understood. Wen Yulan came over curiously, opened the file that Tang Xin had closed, only glanced at it, his face also changed, and quickly looked at Lu Zhengqi's stinky face, seeing that he frowned, his face changed drastically, turned his eyes to look at Tang Xin, and asked her with his eyes, "What's the matter?"

Tang Xin sighed slightly, "With the strength and ability of Qingze Group, you are conditionally selected into the list..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Zhengqi said in a deep voice, "Everyone is a little tired after an afternoon meeting, and the irrelevant personnel will go out to rest first." ”

Everyone looked at each other, got up and walked out of the conference room.

Qin Hao also got up slowly, Mu Junyao looked at Lu Zhengqi, and then at Tang Xin's slightly pale face, knowing that he really couldn't help this time, this was the knot between their father and daughter, and they could only untie it by themselves. Just as he wanted to get up, Lu Zhengqi spoke, "Mr. Mu stays, this matter is important, you have the right to know." ”

Mu Junyao paused, sat back in the chair, glanced at Tang Xin, and gave her a comforting look.

When everyone left, there were only four of them left in the room. Tang Xin was pulled down by Wen Yulan and sighed lightly, "He's still coming to you, isn't he?"

Tang Xin bit his lip and nodded.

Wen Yulan patted the table angrily, "I still let him take advantage of the loophole day and night!"

"Don't be like this, Sister Lan, he has always been my father, and it is common for him to see me!" Tang Xin was a little helpless on his face, "It's just that this love is mixed with interests!"

"What does he want is more than a little profit?" Lu Zhengqi snorted lightly, "I'm afraid that you will be swallowed by him little by little, and you don't know it!"

"When I was in Guzhai, I went to the old house," Tang Xin looked at Lu Zhengqi and said softly, "His room has a whole bookcase, each of which is full of notes, he has been studying seriously since he was a child and is determined to get ahead, I think..."

"Have you forgotten your grandfather's words or have you forgotten your mother's death?" Lu Zhengqi finally couldn't suppress the fire and spoke loudly.

"Brother Qi!" Wen Yulan hurriedly stopped him, patting Tang Xin comfortingly.

"I didn't!" In just a moment, Tang's big eyes filled with tears.

Mu Junyao had never seen Lu Zhengqi angry, and he was also shocked, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Tang Xin crying, and he was about to open his mouth when he was interrupted by Lu Zhengqi's voice.

"Don't cry for such a person!" Lu Zhengqi roared sternly, "Your grandfather, I would rather not enjoy your family and send you to the best school to train you to be tenacious, you are actually looking for the best words to describe one by one..." Lu Zhengqi was obviously searching for the right words to describe, he was afraid of Tang Xin, afraid that she would know the truth, and afraid that she would not know why, "You actually went to his hometown and came back, and listened to a few words of hypocrisy from him, you want to support him, right?"

Tang Xin took a breath and spoke softly, "If my support can be exchanged for my father, I think it's worth it." ”

"Smack!" Lu Zhengqi slapped his big palm on the table hard, his face painful.

"Uncle Qi. Mu Junyao got up and looked at the angry Lu Zhengqi worriedly. Lu Zhengqi stroked his forehead with his big hand, leaned back weakly on the back of the chair, and waved his hand at Mu Junyao.

Mu Junyao saw that he had eased up and sat down again, and looked at Tang Xin's sad little face uneasily.

Wen Yulan patted Tang Xin's back, frowned and turned his eyes to Lu Zhengqi and said, "Brother Qi, you tell the child slowly." ”

After a long time, Lu Zhengqi slowly spoke, "Child, we teach you to be sensible and reasonable, you have always been smart, but there are some things that you can exchange for humanity if you are not affectionate." You know what he's done and you think it's worth it?"

Tang Xin bit his lip and opened his sad mouth, "I know." ”

Lu Zhengqi and Wen Yulan glanced at each other, and at the same time looked at her nervously, "What do you know?"

Tang Xin looked at their concerned faces, and his heart warmed, "Last time I went to your study to look for books, I saw an investigation report. After Tang Xin finished speaking, he bit his lip again and lowered his head.

Lu Zhengqi lowered his shoulders and said dejectedly, "Xiaolan, I should have listened to your words and destroyed it." ”

Wen Yulan patted his hand soothingly, "We can all find out, and Tang Xin can also find out." ”

Mu Junyao's scrutinizing gaze wandered on the faces of the three people, the three relatives who were not related by blood, pretending not to know because of love and protection, and pretending to be confused if they understood, the purpose was to make the other party live happier, I couldn't help but sigh slightly, looking at Tang Xin's slightly pale little face, she was going to be uncomfortable again today. Sigh!

"You've always protected me very well, but now that I've grown up, I feel like I can do something in my own way, even if it makes him normal, and I really miss this father. Tang Xin lowered his head and said softly.

"Impossible!" Lu Zhengqi slapped the table categorically.

"Brother Qi!" "Uncle Qi!" Wen Yulan and Mu Junyao spoke at the same time, reminding him to pay attention to his emotions.

Alas! Lu Zhengqi sighed lightly, looked at the ceiling and exhaled as if he had made up his mind, "Okay, you have grown up, and some things should also be clear to you." ”

"Brother Qi!" Wen Yulan nervously opened her mouth to stop and shook her head at him gently.

Lu Zhengqi patted Wen Yulan on the shoulder, "I believe that she will understand and make a decision after listening to it, although it may be painful and sad, I believe that Tang Yuanshan's bloodline can withstand it!"

Tang Xin looked at the two of them inexplicably, in addition to the report, what else was there in the past that she didn't know?

Lu Zhengqi looked at Tang Xin's black and white eyes, and slowly spoke, "What I'm going to say next may make you very uncomfortable, Xiaolan and I have thought about not telling you, but it's not fair to you and gentle, Li Qingze's humanity has long been devoured, it's enough for a woman from the Tang family to die for him in the world, you, never!"

Tang Xin looked at Lu Zhengqi's painful expression, knowing that this might be the reason for her mother's illness, she had asked Sister Lan and Gu's mother and neither of them told her, only that her mother was in a bad mood back then, and the family was busy with affairs and neglected to take care of it. But she knew it wasn't that simple.

"I want to listen!" Tang Xin looked firmly into his eyes.

Mu Junyao could vaguely guess the hidden situation behind it, that day Ren Baoquan told Li Qingze about him, and he knew that Li Qingze must have approached the Tang family by unscrupulous means for his future, but no one knew how ugly those methods were.

Lu Zhengqi patted her slightly cool little hand, and turned his eyes to Mu Junyao, "Junyao, although you and Tang Xin are not boyfriend and girlfriend yet, but the Yunshan project is very important, I must let you understand why anyone can, Qingze Group can't." ”

Mu Junyao nodded slightly.

Lu Zhengqi thought for a while and said, "Tang Xin, do you remember Uncle Marco?"

Tang Xin blinked and nodded, "Well, isn't he missing?"

Lu Zhengqi shook his head, "He didn't go missing, after your mother passed away, he knelt in front of her grave for three days and three nights, then packed his bags and went to Europe, and never came back, but he has always paid attention to you and the Tang family." Lu Zhengqi's eyes were clear, and his thoughts went back to the past, "I, Marco, and Xiaolan are all orphans adopted by Uncle Yuan from the earthquake in T City, Uncle Yuan treats us like his own children, although the three of us have no blood relationship with your mother, Ma Ke and I both love your mother deeply, and the thing I regret the most is that I was too ambitious back then, so I let my mother go to Y Province alone to sketch, so that she knew her nemesis." ”

But my mother said that he was the love of her life. Tang Xin corrected with a small face.

"Well, yes," Lu Zhengqi chuckled, "Isn't he your mother's love, and he doesn't want to love until he dies." Everyone said that the eldest lady of the Tang family would suffer from depression with deep affection, hum," Lu Zhengqi sneered, "These are just nonsense spread by Li Qingze himself, the purpose is to stabilize his identity as the son-in-law of the Tang family." ”

"Then how did mom get depression?" asked Tang Xin eagerly. She remembered that although her mother was quiet, she was by no means a sullen character, and the scene of their two giggling appeared in her dreams more than once.

"It's all thanks to him," Lu Zhengqi's face was full of distress, "Do you remember when you were 6 years old, you almost had a younger brother?"

Tang Xin nodded slightly, for a while her mother's belly was so big, she said that there was a little brother in it, and Tang Xin would not be alone in the future. "I remember having a miscarriage because of an accident. ”

"It's not an accident!" Lu Zhengqi glanced at Tang Xin's pale face, "Li Qingze was afraid that he would not be able to control that child after he was born, so he designed that accident." ”

"Yes," Wen Yulan's beautiful eyes widened, and she said in a deep voice, "A month after my sister's death, one day her previous driver came to Tang Yuan to kneel in front of Uncle Yuan to repent, and we learned that Li Qingze gave him money back then, so that he deliberately saw the happy scene of him and Ding Jiahui and Li Siqing's family of three on the route that his sister passed, and my sister was frightened before she had a miscarriage. "We always thought that my sister was depressed because of the loss of her beloved son, but in fact, she was depressed because she knew Li Qingze's tricks and she loved him deeply and couldn't get out. ”

Tang Xin asked in a slightly trembling voice, "You mean, my mother knows that all the things he did were for the Tang family?"

Lu Zhengqi and Wen Yulan nodded, "Although your mother was spoiled by us and grew up innocent, she is as smart as you, not to mention that Li Qingze has no intention of covering up those things at all, he just wants to force your grandfather to let him enter the Tang Clan, and wants to control the Rourou or control you to achieve the goal of controlling the Tang Clan." Later, we found a recording file in the relics of Yan Rou, which was a call between Li Qingze and Ding Jiahui, and he personally said that if your mother has another son, the child will not only have to share the Tang clan with him, but it will be difficult to clean up if he grows up and does not listen to him, or the daughter is easier to control, hum, you see, won't he come to control you now?!"

Tang's mind was blank, the truth was too cruel, and it really made her very uncomfortable. Wen Yulan gently hugged her. Sighing, "There's another reason for your mother's depression. ”

Lu Zhengqi glared at her, "Xiaolan, that's enough!"

Wen Yulan's face turned pale, "Just say it, these things have been pressed in her heart for a long time, she should know." ”

There is also ??? Tang Xinmei's eyes widened.

"At that time, my sister was depressed and unhappy after the miscarriage, often went out to collect style, opened art exhibitions, and was often not in S City, Li Qingze and the surname Ding were more blatant, once Uncle Yuan and Brother Qi were blocked in the restaurant, and it was very unpleasant, after returning to Tang Garden, Uncle Yuan was furious, scolding him for not knowing what to do, and living up to his sister's affection, he said the truth about being with his sister back then, and was heard by his sister who went home, and his sister was discouraged, and he ...... from then on"

"What is it?" asked Tang in a trembling voice.

"He came to Tang Yuan back then, said that his mother died of illness, he was expelled from the unit, begging Uncle Yuan to give him a chance to prove his talent, he is indeed very capable, and he is also shrewd, he quickly achieved results, and helped me and Uncle Yuan solve a lot of troubles, I, Marco and he soon became the three pillars of the Tang family, he did not show a little affection for Yan Rou at that time, at least we didn't see it, it is also possible that they had contact in private and we didn't know, in short, it happened. Lu Zhengqi said this, his voice was a little tired.

"It's my fault," Wen Yulan said in a low voice, "I got a U.S. visa that day, I was very happy, it just so happened that Uncle Yuan and you were not there, so I clamored to drink to celebrate, Brother Xiao Ma has been used to us since he was a child, so he gave us a drink, but I didn't expect to be drunk and messy, and after he sent his sister back to the room, he didn't come out." Wen Yulan slowly lowered his head, "The most hateful thing is Li Qingze, he didn't stop it when he was sober, he also took pictures of the matter, and even lied that he was the one who was with his sister after Brother Xiao Ma left." ”

"What?" Tang Xin exclaimed incredulously.

Wen Yulan patted her on the back, "Sister has always valued the affairs of men and women, although she and Brother Qi have always been arranged as a pair by Uncle Yuan, but I know that she actually has illusions about love in her heart." Maybe Li Qingze took a fancy to her, so he used some tricks on her openly and secretly, so that his sister had a good impression of him. But I know that my sister has always kept a distance from him about her marriage with Brother Qi, but after this happened, my sister had to stop marrying. ”

"Blame me too," Lu Zhengqi sighed bitterly, "If I had married her desperately, she would have been unhappy at most, and it would have been better than losing her life so early." "Or if she marries Marco, in fact, Marco and I both know how much the other party loves her, so no matter which of us marries her, it is better than with Li Qingze." ”

"That's why my grandfather never let me drink?" Tang Xin spoke slowly, tears streaming down her cheeks, she didn't expect that her birth and her existence were all due to a man's pursuit of money, not the crystallization of love. Poor mother, all her affection is built on such unbearable and ugly means, no wonder she can't bear to swallow so many sleeping pills. No wonder he doesn't like him no matter how coquettish she is, she was born to appear and be used as a pawn by him!
