Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Tan Family's Gathering
The type of movie was completely chosen according to Lin Meng's preferences, and Tan Cheng was not interested, but out of politeness, he still watched it all, and then watched the Lin family's driver take her home.
"Stay safe." Tancheng was very polite, and he didn't even say a message to him when he got home.
Lin Meng didn't care, nodded with satisfaction, and when the car began to move slowly forward, she saw the man's figure gradually moving away in the rearview mirror, and couldn't help but start looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow.
Early the next morning, the headlines of the gossip news were contracted by the news of Tan Cheng and Lin Meng's intimate dating, and most of the topics were Tan and Lin's young master and Qianjinmen, going out on a date at night, and it was accompanied by a picture of a man hugging a woman.
After Tan Cheng saw the news, his first reaction was to go to Su Linyu to explain, but he found that she was not in the design department.
"I don't know, probably I went to the production department, because there are a lot of drafts to revise recently."
Ling Mu replied to him.
He nodded, and left uneasily, but when he turned around, he bumped into the woman.
Tan Cheng thought about it, grabbed her wrist without saying anything, turned around and went to the pantry, Su Linyu didn't struggle, followed him obediently, and then watched him close the door of the pantry.
"Sit down." The man pulled a chair for her, sat down beside her, and then spoke unhurriedly.
"News, did you see that?" Although he pretended to be calm, Tan Cheng's tone was still a little flustered.
Su Linyu didn't answer, just nodded.
"Don't think about it too much," Tan Cheng seemed to be very unaccustomed to taking the initiative to explain this kind of thing, as if doing so would make him seem very weak-hearted, but he still tried to maintain his usual tone and spoke, "Grandpa arranged it yesterday, and I had to deal with it." ”
Su Linyu's gaze dodged left and right, wanting to ask the man something.
Tan Cheng explained before her, "And that photo, she almost fell, I just helped her." ”
After the man finished explaining, the small pantry was quiet for a moment, and then the woman's laughter was heard.
Tan Cheng looked up at her suspiciously.
"This is the first time I've seen you so nervous and say so many things at once," Su Lin smiled, "Don't worry, I didn't think much about it, because I believe in you." ”
The woman's words were comparable to the refreshing cool breeze on a hot summer day, and every word blew into Tan Cheng's heart, he couldn't help but raise his hand and rub the woman's hair, "Then I'll go back to work first." ”
Su Linyu squinted his eyes and nodded, watching the man leave, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared.
No matter how hard she tries to dissuade herself from being too careful, even if she trusts men again, she can't predict how many uncontrollable things will happen in this context, and how long their love can be stable in the face of adversity.
Lin Meng waited for a long time, and found that Tancheng and Su Linyu were still calm, which made her very unwilling, but she couldn't obviously do anything more.
Lin Daguang knocked on the office door, sat down next to Lin Meng, and asked her about her work, but in the end the topic fell on Tancheng.
"I see that you have been running to Old Man Tan recently, is it because of the matter of Tan City?"
Lin Meng nodded honestly, "But it was Grandpa Tan who asked me to come over, and he wanted to match me with Tancheng." ”
"Then ......" Lin Daguang hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously, "Do you still have feelings for that kid, Dad is afraid that you will be hurt again." ”
Thinking of Lin Meng's suicide by swallowing sleeping pills before, Lin Daguang still has palpitations, and since then, he has secretly sworn in his heart that he must protect his daughter and keep her away from everything that is easy to hurt her, so he will take care of Tancheng so much.
Lin Meng knew what his father meant, held his hand, and said gently, "Dad, I know you're worried about me, but don't worry, my daughter's heart is measured, and she won't do stupid things anymore." ”
"That's good." Lin Daguang hugged Lin Meng into his arms in distress.
didn't know that her feelings for Tancheng had already changed from innocence and ignorance at the beginning.
Far from the city center, in a very good sanatorium.
Tan Zhuo went there to meet Su Quan.
Because the weather was exceptionally good, Su Quan was pushed by the nurse in a wheelchair and sent to the shade near the garden, Tan Zhuo sat on the bench next to him, and the two chatted calmly about the past, and then inevitably mentioned the past.
"General Tan," Su Quan called Tan Zhuo very formally, "If one day you find out that I have made any mistakes, I hope to get your forgiveness." ”
Tan Zhuo didn't intend to ask him, and replied pertinently, "I can't promise you this, it depends on the size of this matter and the situation at that time, but I will try to be tolerant." ”
After hearing this, Su Quan relaxed a little and asked again, "Is she okay?" ”
Tan Zhuo responded, "Well, she has been very happy, and I am not derelict in my duties, right"
He added, "My people have found some flaws in your company's affairs, and your nominal son has been trying to figure out a way to do it in a panic recently." ”
Su Quan nodded, and didn't seem to care much about this kind of thing.
Also, more than half of my life has passed, and I have tasted all the bitter, spicy, sour and sweet, and there is nothing I can't see.
The two of them chatted without saying a word, coupled with the efforts of the professional medical team specially arranged by Tan Zhuo, Su Quan's spirit seemed to be much better than usual, and it was not until the sun faded and turned into a soft color that Tan Zhuo got up and planned to leave.
"Tancheng He wanted to be with Lin Yu, but I stopped him, no matter how you think about it, they are not suitable." Before leaving, Tan Zhuo still told the matter.
Su Quan was obviously stunned for a moment, and after weighing it, he spoke without confidence, "Tancheng took good care of Lin Yu before, if you don't think about it so much, it doesn't matter." ”
Tan Zhuo shook his head and objected, "It's okay to change to anyone else, but Tancheng can't, after all, he is Bai Xue's child." ”
After Tan Zhuo left, Su Quan recalled many things, and his mood became more and more complicated, he didn't know whether these things would be buried by time with his illness or would be discovered one day in the future.
Silence is the best way to do this.
During his lunch break, Tancheng received a call from his mother, informing him to go back to Tan's house on Saturday night to attend a family party, and distant relatives abroad came back to visit relatives.
Tan Cheng has never been interested in this kind of occasion, he answered, and was just about to hang up, when he heard his mother speak, "By the way, Lin Yu will also come when the time comes, as the granddaughter of the Tan family." ”
Tan Cheng suddenly remembered what Old Man Tan said about finding a time to hold a banquet for Su Linyu, and frowned unhappily, "I know." ”
After a while, the mobile phone rang again, and Tancheng glanced at it, it was a message from Su Linyu.
"Don't worry, like you said, it's all in name." The woman comforted him.
Tan Cheng raised the corners of his lips and replied to her with a cute expression that did not match his personality, and his mood improved.
The nominal sister is not a big deal, as long as their hearts for each other have not changed, all these formalized things are not important.
On Saturday, as soon as Tancheng arrived at the door of the Tan family's villa, he unexpectedly met Lin Meng, he did not refuse the woman to hold his wrist, and walked in with a cold face.
The Tan family is also a big family, with relatives from far and near, some of whom he met for the first time since childhood.
Although Tan Cheng's expression was cold, he still went to his grandfather first, greeted him politely, and glanced at Su Linyu who was sitting next to the old man uncontrollably.
Su Linyu glanced at his arm that was being held by Lin Meng, and lowered his head pretending not to care.
Family gatherings are the least favorite occasions for young people, as they tend to be the center of the conversation, and this is especially true of Tancheng, who is both beautiful and artistic.
After Bai Xue introduced the people around her, the relatives gossiped, but Tancheng didn't respond to a word.
"And this one," Old Man Tan interrupted everyone and looked at the woman beside Tan Cheng, "This is his girlfriend, Lin Meng, the daughter of the Lin family." ”
The voices of more enthusiastic discussions and various questions sounded from all around than just now, Lin Meng lowered his head a little shyly, but Tan Cheng's eyes only had Su Linyu who lowered his eyes to hide his emotions.
When the people gradually quieted down, Old Man Tan patted Su Linyu who was sitting beside him again, "This girl that no one has ever seen, I want to focus on it, she is my old daughter, and she is also my newly recognized godgranddaughter, Su Linyu." ”
After Tan Zhuo finished speaking, the atmosphere was inexplicably quiet, and the relatives who didn't know how to speak looked at each other.
Bai Xue looked around, and quickly picked up her wine glass, "In that case, then father hurry up and prepare a recognition banquet for your godgranddaughter, come, let's have a toast." ”
The echoing voices ensued, and the atmosphere became lively once again, and the incident soon became a small episode, forgotten by the people.
Tancheng was with Lin Meng all night, and from time to time someone came over to toast, by the way, he praised the two people who were talented and beautiful, Lin Meng looked very happy, but Tancheng responded perfunctorily.
"When you have a wedding banquet, don't forget to call your aunt."
Lin Meng smiled embarrassedly, nodded in response, drank the wine in the cup with Tan Cheng, watched the middle-aged woman with a plump body but still have a temperament leave with a smile, and continued to hold the wine glass to talk with others enthusiastically.
Taking advantage of the rare free time, Tan Cheng's eyes swept around the huge room, and he didn't find Su Linyu's figure, he excused himself to drink too much wine and was a little dizzy, so he put down the wine glass in his hand and turned to leave.
Lin Meng knew what he was thinking, looked at the direction of the man's departure with jealousy, bit his lip unwillingly, and quietly followed.
