30. Huntington's disease
"May I ask why you think that my young lady is Miss Pang and your mother?" Seeing that neither of them objected, Uncle Chang asked directly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Do you still need to ask about this?" Pang Yue looked at Uncle Chang's calm and frightening face in disbelief, can't his own face be explained? Is there a person who doesn't have the slightest suspicion when he finds out that he looks exactly like everyone else?
"Of course you have to ask." Uncle Chang did not give up asking this question because of Pang Yue's question.
"Of course, it's the two of them," Fonda continued, "isn't it strange that two people in this world look so acquainted?" ”
"Is that why you two came to my young lady?"
"Yes, isn't that reason enough?"
Uncle Chang suddenly laughed, "Since you say so, then the truth may disappoint the two of you." ”
"Why? Do you mean ......" Pang Yue suddenly stood up.
"Yes, my young lady doesn't have any children." Uncle Chang said with great certainty.
"How is that possible!" Pang Yue's face turned white, and his voice became sharp and high-pitched.
The atmosphere at the scene instantly became very embarrassing, Pang Yue stood with a pale face, Uncle Chang's words undoubtedly extinguished her last bit of hope, so her identity as a clone can be said to be real.
Fang Da seemed very calm, he gently pulled Pang Yue, motioned for her to sit down, although Pang Yue was extremely reluctant, but still obeyed Fang Da's wishes, sat down, and waited until Pang Yue sat down, Fang Da continued: "Then how should this matter be explained?" ”
"Well...... Uncle Chang was silent for a while, "This matter is a bit complicated. ”
"Uncle Chang, my mother once left something behind, I want you to see it." When Pang Yue saw Uncle Chang's spitting appearance, she remembered her mother's scrapbook, and she thought to herself, maybe this thing can make Uncle Chang tell the truth.
"This ......" Uncle Chang opened the scrapbook handed over by Pang Yue, and when he opened it, he was stunned, "...... Why? ”
"You're asking me why I have all this, aren't you?" Pang Yue paused, and then said, "This is exactly the question I want to ask you, why does my mother pay so much attention to the news of your Tang family?" Isn't it strange to you? ”
Uncle Chang's face turned iron-blue, and when he turned to the last page of the scrapbook, he sighed deeply, "This was many years ago, if it weren't for the fact that my young lady couldn't have had her own children, my lord wouldn't have to make such a decision." ”
"Tang Xiuxiu can't have children? Why is that? Fonda said.
"This matter still starts with my young lady marrying Chen Longyi, the son of Chen Baye......"
"Eighth Master Chen?" Fangda knows who this Chen Baye is, "You are talking about the chairman of the Chen Group?" ”
"That's right, the marriage between the Tang and Chen families was set by the grandfather of the Tang family, you know, our Tang family's family rules are very strict, as long as it is the rules set by the ancestors, no one can change it, unless you want to break away from the Tang family."
Fang Da knew what Uncle Chang meant that the entire Tang Group did not belong to anyone, it was more like a gang, and Tang Siye was a chief helmsman, and the entire Tang Group was composed of various rudders, and this Chen Baye was the largest rudder among these rudders, if the Tang family and the Chen family became relatives, it can be said that the strength would be greatly improved, and the other small rudders would never be able to surpass, and the children born to Tang Xiuxiu and Chen Longyi would also make the relationship between the two families more stable.
"Detachment? I'm afraid I'm going to take my life. Fang Da said expressionlessly that he had heard of these legendary rules of the rivers and lakes, although it is now a civilized legal society, but the rules of these gangs sometimes still exist among the gangs.
Uncle Chang nodded proudly, "It's not enough to take your life, but the Tang clan's sphere of influence has already touched all walks of life, whether it is in the economy, politics, or the cultural industry, the Tang clan is involved, so for those who break away, it is impossible to survive at all." ”
Fang Da naturally felt that what Uncle Chang said was a bit exaggerated, if he didn't pursue a luxurious material life, he thought that it was still okay to make a living with his hands alone, "Could it be that your young lady and Chen Gongzi are not willing to marry blindly and dumbly, and live a nominal married life without giving birth?" Fonda felt that it was right to get to the point as soon as possible, otherwise the rules of the gang might not be able to be explained in a day or two.
"This is by no means the case, on the contrary, my young lady and Chen Gongzi grew up together, they can be described as childhood sweethearts, and they are in love, and the two are ready to get married after completing their respective college studies."
"According to you, is it really your young lady's problem?"
"No, my young lady is very healthy and has no physical problems at all."
"So you mean, the problem is on Chen Gongzi's side?!"
Uncle Chang sighed again, "Have you two heard of 'Huntington's disease'?" ”
"Huntington's disease?" When Pang Yue heard Uncle Chang say this, he immediately turned his head to look at Fang Da.
"Huntington's disease, also known as chorea, is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease. The disease was discovered by the American physician George Huntington in 1872, hence the name. The main cause is a mutation in the gene on chromosome 4 in the patient, which produces a mutated protein that gradually clumps together in the cell to form large molecular clusters that accumulate in the brain and affect the function of nerve cells. In general, patients develop the disease in middle age, which is characterized by chorea-like movements, and gradually loses the ability to speak, move, think, and swallow as the disease progresses, and the disease continues to progress for about 10 to 20 years, and eventually leads to death. Fonda said in one breath.
Mr. Fang is right, this disease also has mental manifestations, mainly mood disorders as the prominent manifestation, especially depression is common. Emotional apathy, sluggishness, depression, often accompanied by suicidal behavior or personality changes, bad temper, quarrelling, and lack of attention. Some patients may have paranoid schizophrenia and schizophrenia-like symptoms, delusions of victimization, personality changes, etc., and even become irritable, impulsive, furious, and behavioral eccentricities. Uncle Chang added, "And the younger the onset of this disease, the faster the disease will develop......" After speaking, some sad expressions appeared on Uncle Chang's face.
"Then Chen Gongzi ......" Pang Yue's mind went blank after listening to the introduction of the two.
