Chapter Forty-Six: Affection
After chatting a lot with the two elders in the Tan family, Lin Meng went straight to the point.
"Uncle and aunt, in fact, I'm not very old, and it seems a little naΓ―ve to always talk about things like love, but in my view of love, Brother Tancheng is everything."
Father Tan held the teacup in his hand and sighed, "It's just that the kid in Tancheng is too stubborn, and no one can persuade him to identify people or things." β
Lin Meng nodded and spoke without hesitation, "So I'm going to give up." β
As soon as these words came out, even Tan's mother was surprised. After all, Lin Meng's feelings for Tancheng for so many years, she still saw it in her eyes, and the words of giving up were as light as eating and sleeping, which always made people feel a little unbelievable.
"But give up and take your time, I'll try, and I'll come to see you more often in the future." Lin Meng got up and said goodbye to the two of them.
Tan Mu looked at her back with mixed feelings.
"After so many years of friendship with the Lin family, I always feel a little guilty." Tan's father spoke softly, and the herbal tea in the cup tasted a little bitter.
Tan Mu didn't respond, but she had an idea in her heart.
In the afternoon of the next day, the cafΓ© near the company, Tancheng arrived on time, and his mother was already waiting for him.
"Mom, what's the matter with me?" He glanced at the cup in front of him, it was the iced Americano he drank most often.
"Mom doesn't go around the bend with you, how are you and Xiaoyu doing now?" Tan Mu is the color road.
Tan Cheng didn't answer immediately, seeing his mother's expression, he knew in his heart what Lin Meng should have done again, he blinked, his dark eyes were full of determination, "We have a good relationship, I like her very much." β
Tan Mu put down the coffee in her hand, thought for a moment, and slowly spoke.
"Today Lin Meng came to see me and your father, saying that she was going to give up on you, but that's not the point," she looked at Tan Cheng, "Mom wants to know your heart." β
Tan Cheng understood the purpose of his mother's trip, and replied bluntly, "Mom, I can tell you responsibly that I only like Surin language, and this liking will not change because of other factors." β
Tan's mother understands Tancheng and knows that her son has not been good at expressing himself since he was a child, and today she has said many likes, and she has never received this kind of treatment as a mother.
"I have no conscience, why haven't I heard you say you like me?" Tan Mu pursed her lips, she didn't expect that she would care about this kind of thing.
Tan Cheng hooked the corners of his mouth and said gently, "It's enough for you to understand, thank you, Mom." β
Su Linyu waited in the office for Tancheng for a long time and didn't see him come back, and found out from Xi Wei that he went to the cafΓ© downstairs.
Who do you meet at the cafΓ© during working hours? Su Linyu suddenly became vigilant in his heart, put down the documents in his hand and went downstairs.
"Mr. Tan, I have a ...... here"
Su Linyu broke into the cafΓ©, and before she finished speaking, she saw Tan Mu sitting on the opposite side of the pool, and she blinked embarrassedly, feeling that she had just been a little reckless.
The last time the two of them met was when Su Linyu was sick, and the girl called her mother in a daze, and now she still feels numb in her heart when she thinks about it.
Tan's mother was happy in her heart, and beckoned to Su Linyu to let her sit beside her.
"What's wrong?" After she sat down, Tan Cheng spoke.
"There's a document over there that you need to sign." Su Linyu took the coffee that Tanmu ordered for her and thanked her.
Tan Cheng guessed through the woman's careful thoughts, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you in a hurry to come to me specifically?" β
Su Linyu glanced at Tancheng, and then looked away with a weak heart, "It's not very urgent......
The man stopped talking, took the coffee to his lips and took a sip, Tan's mother grabbed Su Linyu's arm nicknamed, and asked in a low voice, "How are you getting along with this stinky boy recently, did he bully you?" β
Su Linyu shook his head, "No, aunt, he is very good to me." β
Tan Mu glanced at Tan Cheng and lowered her voice, "I didn't mean this," she hesitated, as if to organize the language, "I mean, did he usually bully you at home?" β
Su Linyu, who reacted, blushed, and heard the man opposite cough lightly, and the corners of his mouth outlined a smile.
He must have heard it.
In desperation, I had to continue to pretend to be stupid, "Train me to learn design in the company, and take me to the training ground to run and practice sanda after work." β
After Tan Cheng heard the latter sentence, his expression panicked for a moment, and he put down the coffee cup in his hand.
Sure enough, after Tan Mu heard this, her eyes widened in surprise, and she stretched out her hand to twist Tan Cheng's ears again, but he avoided them.
"Why don't you know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade so much? Last time, I made my family sick with a cold, and now I actually let a girl's family go to your training ground to fight? Tan's mother looked like she hated iron but not steel, "How did I give birth to a son with such a low emotional intelligence." β
Her voice was several decibels higher, causing the people around her to look this way.
Seeing this, Su Linyu pulled Tanmu's arm and patted the back of her hand gently, "It's not such an aunt, I have studied sanda before, and I want to become stronger for my father, so I asked him." β
Tan's mother glanced at Tancheng suspiciously, "For Xiaoyu's sake, I won't worry about you, be gentle with other girls in the future, and don't always put on your own ice cube face." β
"Got it." Tan Cheng's expression has always been embarrassed in front of his mother, and he is cute like a child.
Sending Tan Mu away, Su Linyu gloated and raised his hand and pinched Tan Cheng's face, "Let's go, Ice Cube Face." β
Tan Cheng quietly and deliberately retaliated, and his big hand ruffled her hair.
Tan's mother could feel Tancheng's sincerity and affection for Su Linyu, so she made a decision not to meddle in his emotional affairs, although this may make Lin Meng sad for a while, but just like Tancheng said, a twisted melon is not sweet, and it is better to love a pair than to be forcibly bound.
However, as soon as she arrived home, she met Tan's father who was panicked and ready to go out.
"What's going on?" She suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
Tan's father pulled her out, "Just now Lin Daguang called, saying that Lin Meng committed suicide by swallowing sleeping pills. β
"What?"
The car sped all the way to the hospital, and when the two came to the door of the emergency room, they saw Lin Daguang pacing back and forth at the door with tears in his eyes.
"Daguang, how is Lin Meng?" Tan's father stepped forward and asked anxiously.
Lin Daguang was anxious, pushed Tan's father, and grabbed him by the collar, "It's all because of your good son, if Mengmeng has something long and short, I will definitely not forgive you!" β
Tan Mu hurriedly went to stop her, "Don't get excited, she'll be fine." β
Lin Daguang snorted, let go of his hand, and turned around to stand at the door of the emergency room.
The three of them were speechless for a while, but they were all the same anxious.
Twenty minutes later, the lights in the emergency room finally went out, and they gathered around, eager to know the outcome, but afraid to hear bad news.
Fortunately, after the doctor took off the mask, he declared the patient out of danger.
"When the next check-ups are done and the situation is stable, we can go to visit."
After the medical staff left, several people sat on the chairs on the side of the corridor, and Lin Daguang finally calmed down and opened his mouth to tell Tan's father and mother the whole thing.
"Mengmeng has been studying in the company recently, and she has been working very hard, I thought she had let go of this relationship, but I didn't expect that she didn't eat last night and locked herself in the room, I was worried that she wanted to send her a glass of milk, but I found that there was no movement inside."
The Tan family's parents have been silent and listened to Lin Daguang.
"I saw an empty bottle of sleeping pills on the table, and a letter she had left behind."
Lin Daguang said and took out the letter from his jacket pocket.
In addition to expressing her unfilial piety as a daughter, most of the rest of the letter is full of her love for Tancheng.
With deep affection, it is difficult to give up.
Tan's father always frowned, thought for a long time, got up and took out his mobile phone to call Tancheng. , Tan Mu thought about it, but still didn't speak.
She never expected that Lin Meng would like Tancheng to such an extent, and the thing she had just made up her mind about today began to waver again.
And in Tancheng's apartment, as soon as the two of them changed their clothes and were about to go out, he received a call from his father, and Su Linyu looked at Tancheng's expression silently.
When he put down his phone and looked at Su Linyu again, he wanted to speak and stopped.
"Is there something wrong?" She had no choice but to ask.
Tan Cheng nodded, "My father called, saying that Lin Meng had committed suicide by swallowing sleeping pills, and asked me to go over now." β
Su Lin was stunned for a moment, "Then what are you hesitating about, go quickly." β
Tan Cheng glanced at the things in the woman's hand and hesitated, "But you ......"
"It's not important to prioritize things, you go quickly, pay attention to safety on the road." Surin said thoughtfully.
"Then I'll go over first, and remember to call me if anything." After Tan Cheng finished speaking, he picked up his coat, pushed open the door of the apartment and left.
Su Linyu put down his clothes, turned around and sat on the sofa, looking at the two movie tickets in his hand with a little loss.
Now it's just two ordinary pieces of paper.
Knowing that he had to go out now, but seeing the anxious appearance of the man's eyebrows twisted shallowly, Su Linyu was still a little sad.
She doesn't like herself like this, and seems to have become more selfish than before.
When Tan Cheng rushed to the hospital, Lin Meng happened to be transferred from the emergency room to the general ward, so he followed the three elders into the ward.
When Lin Daguang saw him, he didn't say anything, and nodded in response.
Lin Meng hadn't woken up yet, lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, he had already read the letter, even if she usually had the impression of being willful in her heart, she was also a little guilty at the moment, her mother saw his emotions, and patted her shoulder to comfort him.
"It's okay now, don't worry too much."
Tan Cheng nodded, sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the pale woman with complicated eyes, and didn't know what he was thinking.
Tan's father took advantage of this time to call Lin Daguang outside the ward, saying that he had something to say to him, Lin Daguang glanced back at Lin Meng uneasily, and then followed him out.
