Tang Xiao stood outside alone for a few minutes, thinking that she couldn't leave Pei Yuansheng for too long, so she wiped away her tears and walked inside, at this time, Uncle Yan called her: "Miss Tang." ”

Tang Xiao turned around and saw Uncle Yan standing behind her, "Uncle Yan, is there something wrong?"

"Miss Tang, let's talk. ”

"But ......"

"There are a few words that I think I have to say to Miss Tang. Uncle Yan said with a serious expression.

Tang Xiao had no choice but to follow Uncle Yan to a guest room, although it was a guest room, it was also exquisitely furnished, as if someone was cleaning it from time to time.

"Miss Tang, you know, the young master's body can't last long. He said.

Tang Xiao bit his lip and said, "Uncle Yan, don't ...... like this"

Uncle Yan raised his hand to stop it, his voice revealing exhaustion, "Miss Tang, what I'm going to say is another thing-"

"What's the matter?"

"Three months ago, I had a medical check-up, and the results of the check-up were ...... I had stomach cancer. ”

Tang Xiao looked at Uncle Yan in disbelief, "How, how could it be?"

"It's late. Uncle Yan said, "I don't know how long I can stay by the young master's side, but, Miss Tang, I want you to understand that the young master looks strong, as if he doesn't care about anything, in fact, he is the most affectionate and vulnerable, and he can't accept that the people around him go before him." Therefore, I planned to spend some days, so I told the young master that I was going to go to Northern Europe to retire with my lover...... I had not married another woman since my wife died many years ago, and this time I pretended to have met and loved a foreign woman, and I made a request to the boy on this ground, and he would never refuse. ”

"Uncle Yan...... You ......" Tang Xiao looked at the old man, who was always standing as tall as a pine, and suddenly realized that he was old and tired, and this serious gap made her speechless. She didn't know what to say. There are only three words swirling in my mind, Uncle Yan is leaving, he is going to Northern Europe to "retire", saying that it is "pension", in fact, it is not goodbye, it can make Uncle Yan make up his mind to leave the person who cherishes his life, you can imagine how serious his condition has become.

He didn't want Pei Yuansheng to watch the person who had been accompanying him and taking care of him die, he knew that Pei Yuansheng's body couldn't accept this blow. So he chose to deceive him with white lies. But...... What if one day in the future, Pei Yuansheng knows the facts?

She really doesn't understand, why fate is so cruel to people, why all the pain has to befall the same people, is it that in this world, the more fortunate people who are born, they will be favored by the god of fate all their lives, and will never encounter hardships, hardships, diseases, and disasters, and the more unfortunate people are born, the more likely they are to be snubbed by the god of fate, and they are always experiencing one after another bad luck, as if there is no end to the pain, until they leave this world?

She clenched her fists tightly, what should she do? People are really small, at least in the face of sudden disasters in life, those wealth or status that they think can make them live a stable life are of no use.

"Miss Tang, I don't want the young master to find out anything, so I must leave as soon as possible. One month for fast, three months for slow. After I leave, Mu Zihao will take care of the young master instead of me - he is reliable, but after all, unlike me, the young master may not be able to fully trust him, and many things cannot be entrusted to him. I don't know who to turn to, the young master doesn't want his family and friends to know about his condition, lover...... Neither did he. I would have thought that I should not have made a request to Miss Tang, and no matter how I thought about it, it was not appropriate - Miss Tang was a married woman after all. Uncle Yan said slowly, "But just now, I saw Miss Tang shed tears for the young master, and I seem to be able to determine some things, although Miss Tang, you haven't realized it yourself." However, it was enough to make me cheeky to make this request-"

"Uncle Yan, please say, as long as I can do it......" The sympathy for Uncle Yan and Pei Yuansheng had already occupied Tang Xiao's mind, so much so that she had no time to think about the deep meaning of Uncle Yan's words.

"Miss Tang, I ask you to help me take care of the young master as much as possible after I leave...... I know Miss Tang, you have your own family, you have your own business, but—please, Miss Tang. Uncle Yan suddenly bent down deeply.

Tang Xiao hurriedly helped Uncle Yan up, "Don't ...... like this"

Uncle Yan looked at her deeply, "Please come and visit the young master at least once a week, and please answer his phone at any time—although, perhaps, it is unlikely that he will be willing to disturb Miss Tang." But...... Please. ”

"I know, Uncle Yan, I will. Tang Xiao hurriedly agreed, for fear that his slightest negligence would hurt the heart of the seriously ill old man.

"Thank you, Miss Tang. Uncle Yan said solemnly.

"Uncle Yan, you don't have to be so polite, Pei Yuansheng is my friend, and I should do anything for him. Tang Xiao said seriously.

Uncle Yan smiled inexplicably, and that smile was confusing, and he couldn't feel the clue.

"Miss Tang, there are some things that you don't know now, and you will always know in the future. ”

"What?" Tang asked in surprise.

Uncle Yan said: "When Miss Tang can know in the future, she will naturally understand." Let's hope it's not too late. ”

Tang Xiao didn't understand what Uncle Yan was talking about, but Uncle Yan had no intention of continuing to talk about it.

The two walked to the door one after the other, and Uncle Yan took out a jade cicada from his arms and handed it to Tang Xiao.

"This is my Yan family heirloom, originally intended to give to my daughter-in-law, but I have no descendants, let alone a daughter-in-law, Miss Tang is kind-hearted, although I avoided Miss Tang in the past, but I have always admired Miss Tang as a person, meet along, may not have a chance to see each other in the future, this jade cicada Miss Tang will be kept as a souvenir, please don't refuse. Uncle Yan spoke eloquently, his eyes were as kind as a loving father.

Tang Xiao has never known much about jade, but looking at the creamy white jade cicada in his hand, he also knows that it must be an ancient artifact that has been handed down from generation to generation, and its value must be very high.

She shouldn't have accepted such a heavy gift, but she didn't know how to refuse politely, and she carefully held the jade cicada in her hand, and the whole person was extremely hesitant.

"If Miss Tang refuses to accept it, I really don't know who to give it to. Jade is alive, and if it loses its owner, I'm afraid it will be sad. Uncle Yan smiled, "Even if Miss Tang refuses to fulfill me, she should fulfill this piece of jade, right?"

Tang smiled embarrassedly and said, "Okay, then I'll take it first, if Uncle Yan you ......"

"I won't take it back, Miss Tang, please be sure to put it away. Uncle Yan saw what Tang Xiao was thinking at a glance, and directly interrupted her words.

Tang Xiao had no choice but to tie the jade cicada around his neck, and Uncle Yan smiled with satisfaction.

Although Pei Yuansheng was not born to him, and nominally his master, after all, he was the biological flesh and blood of the woman he loved deeply, and he had taken care of him on her behalf all these years, and he had already regarded Pei Yuansheng as his own son in his heart.

In his eyes, Pei Yuansheng loves Tang Xiao, there is no doubt about this, so what about Tang Xiao, he thought that she didn't love him, just sympathized, but now, before he was about to leave, he could be sure with his experience of knowing people that Tang Xiao loved Pei Yuansheng in his heart, but this stupid woman didn't know her emotions yet.

So, what reason does he have not to regard her as his daughter-in-law?

He has lived to this age, he has already been content, and he has no regrets, and now that he has learned this secret, he feels even more satisfied.

Tang Xiao returned to Pei Yuansheng's room, and the other party was still sitting, as if he was stubbornly waiting for her to come back, but his expression was obviously much sleepy, and even his eyes were half-squinted.

"It's not early, let's rest. Tang Xiao persuaded.

Pei Yuansheng also knew that it was late at night, and he should send someone to send Tang Xiao home, but he was reluctant to let her go.

At this moment, Tang Xiao's mobile phone rang, which was extremely harsh in the silence of the night.

She glanced at Pei Yuansheng apologetically, and hurriedly took out her mobile phone from her bag, and when she saw it, it was Cheng Feng who opened it.

Picking up the phone, Cheng Feng's familiar voice came from the other end, "Sister-in-law, where are you?" Why don't you come home so late?"

Thinking that Cheng Feng, who has always been arrogant, will also care about people, Tang Xiao couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips: "Thank you Cheng Ershao for your concern, I have something to do at a friend's house, and I'll go back later." ”

Who knew that Cheng Ershao didn't plan to let her go easily this time, and asked reluctantly: "Sister-in-law, which friend's house are you in? When will you come back? What time is it, it's still raining outside!"

"Okay, I know," Tang Xiao looked out the window, as Cheng Feng said, I don't know when it will rain again, "Don't worry, you can rest early, I'll go home soon." ”

"Sister-in-law, I'll pick you up. Cheng Feng suddenly said unquestionably, "Where are you?" Tell me, or send me a location. ”

Tang Xiao was stunned, not understanding why Cheng Feng was suddenly so competitive, "I really don't need to, there will be a driver to send me back......"

"Driver?" Cheng Feng paused for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, which of your friends can afford to hire a driver?" I think it's a friend of the eldest brother." ”

Cheng Feng's yin and yang weirdness made Tang Xiao a little unhappy, but the other party was out of concern, and she patiently explained, "It's your eldest brother's friend, and it's also my friend." Cheng Feng, I won't talk to you more, in short, you can rest first, I will be home in an hour at most. ”

"Sister-in-law, if the eldest brother is at home, you won't come back so late, and you will still stay at the so-called mutual friend of you and the eldest brother? Aren't you afraid that the eldest brother will know?" Cheng Feng chattered, "Do you think the eldest brother will rest assured that you will stay at your 'friend's house?Sister-in-law, in my opinion, you are still-"

"Cheng Feng!" Tang Xiao couldn't help but interrupt him, "If you make me up again, I'm really going to be angry." ”
