Chapter 0401 - Promise by Body
The streets are full of people at night.
"Yu Yan, will you blame me for letting you leave that private room?" Coming out of the palace hotel, Tang Tianlong said apologetically.
Tang Yuyan smiled bitterly and said nothing. There must be a complaint in her heart, but she just doesn't want to say it.
Tang Tianlong sighed, "You know the rules of our Tang family, it has been like this for hundreds of years, and it has been like this from generation to generation, otherwise our Tang family would not have passed it on to the present." In everything we do, we must ensure the interests of our family and stay away from right and wrong. Mu Jianfeng and Ye Kun, we can't offend. β
But Shentu Tianyin dared. Tang Yuyan's mind lingered in Shentu Tianyin's courage to intervene in right and wrong, she could not be afraid of death on the battlefield, but she lacked such courage.
"You can't compare with her, the Shentu family is just a thirty-odd year history of reform and opening up, and it is a family with an explosive nature, and it has no background. You are the woman of our Tang family, and you are different from her. β
"The woman of the Tang family?" Tang Yuyan's voice carried a hint of bitterness, "What if I am a woman of the Tang family?" I dare not offend Mu Jianfeng, I dare not offend Ye Kun, I can't even fight Shentu Tianyin, what do I want this kind of aura for?"
Tang Tianlong said: "Our Tang family can stand for hundreds of years, but the Shentu family has been inherited for less than a hundred years. Didn't you notice? Mu Jianfeng fought back by attacking the stocks of the Vientiane Group and the inventory of assets, and there was fear in Shentu Tianyin's eyes. Xia Lei insisted on not wanting Shentu Tianyin to intervene, in fact, it was also to protect her. Can such a family last long?"
"Forget it, I don't want to hear that. β
"You don't want to hear me. Tang Tianlong continued his preaching, "I know you like Xia Lei, and your mother and I actually like him a lot. If you can be together, of course it's even better. However, if this threatens the interests of our Tang family, then we can only give up. If you can't compete with Shentu Tianyin, then don't fight, stay away from Xia Lei. β
Tang Yuyan bit her cherry lip lightly, she was unwilling. If you like someone, how can you say that you will give up? What's more, Xia Lei also saved her life, and she will never forget the things she and Xia Lei experienced in Afghanistan for the rest of her life.
"I know it's hard to convince you. Tang Tianlong said: "Then let me tell you this, after watching Xia Lei's performance in the hotel today, I think he is actually a timed bomb, maybe it will detonate at some time." He himself will be crushed to pieces, and those around him will be hurt. You are my daughter, and of course I want you to be happy, but I don't want to see you hurt. β
"We've investigated, but we haven't found anything, so how did he become a regular bomb? Forget it, I don't want to talk to you about this anymore. You go back first, I want to walk alone. Tang Yuyan didn't want to talk anymore and left alone.
Tang Tianlong sighed, looked at his lonely daughter, and didn't move for a long time.
Under the same night sky, in a single-family villa in an upscale community, it is a different scene.
"Alright, alright, it's time to eat. Xia Lei came out of the kitchen, carrying a tray with three bowls of Yangchun noodles in the tray.
Shentu Tianyin pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "This is the dinner you made for us? I still want to have a big meal, just three bowls of noodles." β
Xia Lei smiled and said, "Look at the time, it's almost ten o'clock at this time, if we cook a meal of big fish and meat, when will we have dinner?" I'm not afraid of being hungry, but Uncle Ren's body can't be hungry." β
Shen Turen smiled: "You see, Lei Zi is so good at talking. Let's not go to the dining room to eat, just eat in the living room and watch TV. β
"Dad, you know how to help him talk. Shentu Tianyin pretended to be unhappy, but she didn't pretend to be like it, and when Xia Lei handed her a bowl of steaming Yangchun noodles, she couldn't help but laugh.
The three of them were eating noodles in the living room while watching TV.
Shen Turen seems to have chosen the Phoenix Military Channel on purpose, and a military program is being broadcast on the TV. The male host in camouflage uniform has a loud voice and looks very imposing.
After introducing an advanced destroyer of the U.S. military, the screen suddenly switches to a sniper rifle. When he saw the sniper rifle, Xia Lei recognized it at a glance, it was the XL2500 sniper rifle he and Anina had developed together.
"Amagin, you see, this is the gun that Leizi studied, the XL2500 sniper rifle. Shen Turen said excitedly.
"Is this the gun that Leizi studied? I haven't seen it, Dad, how do you know each other?" Shentu Tianyin looked curious.
Shen Turen said: "Don't you know? These days, newspapers, TV news, and the Internet are talking about Xia Lei and his XL2500 sniper rifle. I've watched it several times, can I not recognize it?"
Shentu Tianyin smiled, "The media is so hot and the attention is so high, Mu Jianfeng and Ye Kun actually want to suppress Lei Zi in this state, it's really against the sky!"
Xia Lei didn't seem to hear the conversation between Shen Turen and Shen Tu Tianyin, it was the first time he watched the news about him, and he seemed very focused.
On TV, the host pointed to an XL2500 on the screen with a command stick, and said in a very characteristic tone: "This is a new generation of sniper rifle independently researched and manufactured by our country, XL2500." Its first appearance was at the Moscow International Exhibition and Convention Center, with which Mr. Charley, the youngest military scientist of our country, defeated the Barrett company, which ruled the world of sniper rifles for decades......"
The picture on the TV suddenly switched to the roof of the Moscow International Convention and Exhibition Center, a long, handsome Chinese young man stood with a gun, and his momentum was extraordinary.
Shentu Tianyin quietly watched Xia Lei on TV, and at this moment, she was also deeply attracted.
After the end of this military program, Xia Lei suddenly laughed, "When did I become a military scientist? β
"Who dares to laugh at you?" said Shentu Tianyin, "just with this sniper rifle you studied, you deserve this title." What have those would-be scientists who get stipends and research grants do?"
Shen Turen also said: "Yes, yes, Leizi, don't be arrogant. Then he smiled, "It seems to me that you are not only a military scientist, but also a miracle doctor. I, who is dying, have been cured by you, who dares to say that you are not a miracle doctor?"
Xia Lei was a little embarrassed to be praised, "Eat noodles and eat noodles." β
After eating the noodles, Xia Lei gave Shen Turen a massage. After this period of recuperation and exercise, Shen Turen is already able to walk slowly and without the need for crutches. With such a degree of recovery, he couldn't even imagine it at the beginning.
Coming out of Shen Tu Ren's room, Shen Tu Tianyin called Xia Lei to her study.
"Lei, I said you don't go to the bank for a loan, five billion, just interest is a heavy burden. Shentu Tianyin said straight to the point: "I said, I will give you five billion, and what I say counts." As long as you nod your head, I will immediately ask the finance department to raise it for you. β
Five billion in cash, this is a huge amount of money, even if Shentu Tianyin wants to use it, it will take some time to prepare.
To be honest, Xia Lei was a little moved, but after thinking about it for a while, he still shook his head, "Tianyin, it's not that I don't want to accept your help, but I don't want you to come in." You have also seen the situation in the palace hotel before, and you should also know what the situation is. What I want to say is that you are a businessman, and Mu Jianfeng and Ye Kun are both officials. The poor do not fight with the rich, and the rich do not fight with the officials, this old saying is also very accurate now. Sooner, Mu Jianfeng and Ye Kun represent our country's military industry, and there are countless characters behind them, how many can you fight?"
"But, didn't that Ling Hao solve the problem? That Ling Hao represents a big man, Mu Jianfeng and Ye Kun were obviously suppressed, I will give you money, do they dare to interfere with it?"
Xia Lei smiled bitterly, "If you really think that this is the end, then you are too naΓ―ve. They're not going to give up, that huge interest group. They don't give up, I know that better than anyone else. In short, you don't want to mix this matter. I can take advantage of Ling Hao's connections and ask for a low-interest loan. β
Shentu Tianyin sighed, "You always refuse to accept the help I give you, my father and I owe you a life-saving grace, and if it weren't for you, the Vientiane Group would probably belong to my second uncle's family." You say, our family owes you so much, so we can pay you back?"
"How do you ......" Xia Lei didn't know what to say, he had never been the kind of person who wanted to repay favors.
Shentu Tianyin looked at Xia Lei quietly, and only after half a sound did he come out with a smile that seemed to be a smile, "You won't let me make a promise, right?"
Xia Lei was stunned on the spot, and he didn't know how to answer.
A woman's mind is the most complicated thing in the world, and sometimes she says she doesn't want it, but she wants it in her heart. Sometimes I say I want it, but I don't want it in my heart. Shentu Tianyin said that you can't let me make a promise, this seems to be a rhetorical question, it means not to want, but who knows if she wants it in her heart?
Once the lover of his dreams, Xia Lei must have wanted it in his heart, but how could such a thing be decided like this? He was not mentally prepared at all.
A touch of sadness flashed in Shentu Tianyin's eyes, but a smile appeared on his beautiful face, "I'm joking with you, don't take it seriously." β
Xia Lei also smiled, "No, no." β
But he forgot that Shentu Tianyin was a woman who never joked.
"That's up to you, but you must come to me when you need my help, and if you don't look for me, I'll be angry with you. βγ
"Yes, it would. β
"You're going to stay in your room tonight. Tomorrow morning I will drive you back to the Reimaa Arsenal. β
"Well, good night. I don't know why, Xia Lei also had a faint sense of loss in his heart.
