Tang Xiao even told Tang Yuyan frankly that he didn't have any love for Ling Meixue, and the reason why he married her was just to get the help of the Ling family.

Oh, I forgot to mention.

Although at the beginning, Tang Xiao was able to make a name for himself in the officialdom, indeed by borrowing the power of the Jiang family, but Tang Xiao himself was also a capable person, so in the past few years, he has even climbed to a higher position than the Jiang family. Now the Jiang family is no longer able to provide him with any help.

If Jiang Xin is healthy, Tang Xiao may still maintain the status quo and will not change.

However, Jiang Xin's fate was not long in coming, and Tang Xiao naturally made a choice that was beneficial to him.

How cold, and so unforgiving.

It was hard for Tang Yuyan to imagine that these were words that could be said from a person who squatted in front of him and had a respectful attitude.

In particular, the other party's eyes were sincere and serious, as if he was not looking at a child under ten years old, but an adult who could understand his painstaking efforts.

"Yuyan, can you understand Dad's difficulties?"

Tang Xiao looked at Tang Yuyan, with a little fatherly love on his warm face, and reached out to touch his head.

However, Tang Yuyan retreated as if he had been electrocuted.

He couldn't understand this kind of cold-heartedness, just for his own benefit.

He couldn't accept that his mother was still alive, but his father was already preparing to marry another woman behind her back.

Although, he still has no feelings for that woman.

Tang Yuyan should have hated Ling Meixue.

Because she snatched his father, his mother has always touched her husband who is deeply in love.

But when he heard Tang Xiao say such words in a tone without any emotion, he even began to feel pity for her.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Tang Yuyan was supposed to be questioning, but Tang Xiao's attitude made him seem to even turn the questioning into a joke, so he just clenched his fists and asked calmly in a way that surprised even himself, beyond his age.

In fact, to put it bluntly, for Tang Yuyan, if his father remarried after his mother died, he would not be angry.

Because in such a family, it is simply impossible to let Tang Xiao guard his mother like a jade.

It is impossible for a famous family not to be a housewife.

So if Jiang Xin really leaves, he has a new stepmother, no matter how annoying the other party is, he will not object.

However, the only thing he could not accept was that his mother was still alive and his father had already planned everything impatiently.

Why the hurry?

Why so rushed, so impatient?

Is it that you can't even hold on to the short wait?

"Can't you just keep waiting?" Tang Yuyan said, looked at Tang Xiao, and his originally calm tone gradually brought hysteria: "The doctor said that she can only live for one year!" Even after a year, you have run out of patience? ”

Hearing this, Tang Xiao was silent for a moment.

"Yu Yan, the next election, in half a year, I can't wait."

There are many people who want to marry the Ling family.

If he didn't finalize it as soon as possible, after Jiang Xin left, Ling Meixue would have married someone else.

Tang Xiao couldn't wait.

Even if it's only for a year.

That's why he can't take care of his scruples at this time.

In fact, he was just discussing with the Ling family today, and he was not really sure.

Tang Yuyan's appearance was somewhat unexpected and disrupted his original plan.

"But I will promise you that I will not marry Ling Meixue until your mother dies."

This is the biggest compromise Tang Xiao can make.

Hearing this, Tang Yuyan couldn't help laughing.

It is strange that at that time, when he was still a child, he showed a smile that was completely inconsistent with his age, which was both sad and sad.

"I have no right to interfere with your decision."

In the end, Tang Yuyan only made one request to Tang Xiao - not to let his mother know about it.

During the years of being sick, Jiang Xin has always felt guilty about Tang Xiao. felt that after she married him, not only did she not help a lot, but she kept dragging her down. And every time Tang Xiao's warm words and encouragement to her, she was moved to tears.

Jiang Xin may not have any love for Tang Xiao, but he has a lot of gratitude and respect. In her heart, Tang Xiao is a very qualified husband, so she often asks Tang Yuyan to learn from Tang Xiao. In such a family, it is essential to marry, so she hopes that his son can be a good husband in the future, at least not to be wronged by the girl who married him.

Tang Yuyan didn't want her mother to know that what she thought was a good husband was not as good as she imagined.

He hoped that in the last period of time, she would at least leave without any sadness and sadness.

Therefore, for Jiang Xin's words, he always nodded silently, and with a disguise ability beyond his age, he covered up those ugly truths in the corners that Jiang Xin couldn't see.

And Tang Xiao also has a tacit understanding.

In front of Jiang Xin, he is a good husband as always, considerate and gentle, and never makes Jiang Xin feel any sad emotions, so good that people almost think that he and Jiang Xin are truly in love and combined, not married.

……

Jiang Xin's illness is irreparable.

said that she had a year to live, but in fact, in less than half a year, she quickly withered, like a defeated flower, and soon she was not even skinny enough to describe her sick body.

And, just a week before the election, Ling Meixue moved into the Tang family.

It was about to say hello in advance, so Ling Meixue would never appear in the surrounding area of Jiang Xin's room.

Many times, when Tang Yuyan walked out of his mother's room, he would see Ling Meixue standing at the door of the room on the other side of the corridor, going down another staircase.

Sometimes, he would also see Tang Xiao, who was very affectionate in front of her mother, walk out of the door and turn around and go to the room at the end of the corridor to visit his new bride who was about to get married, but had not yet been married.

Every now and then, Tang Yuyan, who thinks of his mother holding his hand in the room and asking him to persuade his father to find a new confidant after she leaves, will always feel ironic.

However, what made Tang Yuyan feel most ironic was that he thought that he and Tang Xiao were hiding it well, but in fact, Jiang Xin understood everything.

Even if he is sick and stays at home, Jiang Xin is not unaware of everything.

In the last month of her life, she found out.

At that time, Tang Yuyan was anxious to cover up some facts, so when facing Jiang Xin, he always felt empty-hearted, and therefore, he did not notice that his mother was a little strange in the last month of her life.

Until, when Jiang Xin was dying, he held his hand.

"Don't hate your dad."

Jiang Xin said to Tang Yuyan with a smile: "At least, he is still willing to hide from me and take care of my feelings." ”

is also from a similar family, and Jiang Xin has received a similar education to maximize benefits, so she understands Tang Xiao and doesn't blame Tang Xiao.

Even grateful, he was willing to hide from her all the time and give her the last decency and comfort.

And this was Jiang Xin's last words.

It seems that from beginning to end, the only person who can't accept it is Tang Yuyan.

And, it was also from that time that Tang Yuyan began to dislike his family.

He didn't want to be like this in the future.

He still couldn't forgive Tang Xiao, although Jiang Xin asked him not to hate him before he died.

……

Tang Yuyan's emotions can't affect anyone.

Two months later, Tang Xiao successfully ran for the position he wanted in the re-election.

And Jiang Xin had already been buried, so soon, Tang Xiao and Ling Meixue held a wedding.

The influence of the Tang family in the military circles, Tang Xiao's current status in officialdom and the Ling family's power in officialdom, this marriage is much more concerned than the marriage between the two Tang Jiang families.

The wedding was held very grandly, and the guests were like crucian carp crossing the river, and those who accidentally stepped on or bumped into were people who could not necessarily be seen by others who burned incense and worshiped Buddha for several lifetimes.

No matter what they thought, everyone was congratulating the marriage of the Tang Ling family on their faces, praising them for joining forces, like a tiger with wings, made in heaven.

Only Tang Yuyan stood there alone and watched coldly, looking at Tang Xiao and Ling Meixue's perfectly perfect and almost impeccable smiles, and swore in his heart that he would never become a person like his father.

In his future, he will not get married, he will only be with his lover, and he will never hurt his lover's heart. Even so, to do all this, it is necessary to give up the favorable conditions he is now getting.

……

From beginning to end, when Tang Yuyan told his own affairs, his emotions did not have the slightest ripple, and he didn't seem to have the slightest relationship with himself.

However, Shen Jialan knew that at that time, he must have been very sad, very sad.

What he had been through was worse than what she had experienced as a child.

Thinking like this, Shen Jialan couldn't help but bury her head on Tang Yuyan's shoulder, snuggled up to him, and comforted him silently.

After a long time, Shen Jialan suddenly raised her head from Tang Yuyan's shoulder as if she suddenly remembered something, and said with some uncertainty: "Eh, did we meet a long time ago?" ”

Tang Yu didn't say anything, Shen Jialan didn't have an impression at first, but now she recalled it seriously, and Shen Jialan found that she seemed to have been to the marriage of Tang Ling's two families that he was talking about......

followed Xi Yan.

However, she went to work as a flower girl at the time.

Because it is said that the man's son would not attend.

Shen Jialan thought about it, and couldn't help but be embarrassed, she didn't expect that she would actually bouquet flowers for Tang Yuyan's father's second wedding.

Looking at Tang Yuyan with a fierce look, Shen Jialan's face wrinkled slightly.

"You don't hate me at that time, do you?"

Hearing this, Tang Yuyan glanced at her and didn't speak, until he looked at Shen Jialan worriedly, and then said, "No." ”

He didn't even hate Ling Meixue, how could he hate her?

In fact, if Shen Jialan didn't say it, he didn't have an impression. As soon as Shen Jialan said this, Tang Yuyan also recalled that there seemed to be such a little girl back then, holding flowers and twisting her lips, and walking the red carpet with a serious face. That serious expression like a funeral also made him a little more comfortable when he was not in a good mood at the time.

It seems that their fate may have existed earlier.

Thinking so, Tang Yuyan couldn't help but touch Shen Jialan's head, leaned over, and gently kissed her lip.

Shen Jialan was a little confused by the kiss, her eyes closed unconsciously, and her eyelashes fluttered gently unconsciously.

heard Tang Yuyan say in her ear: "But it's always right that you owe me, so you have to pay me back for the rest of your life." ”

Hearing this, Shen Jialan felt that she had suffered a loss, and twisted her lips a little aggrieved: "I don't want to either." I knew that I was young and didn't do anything more, and I could owe a lifetime with a bouquet of flowers, so I ...... "It's also a loss!"

I just want to, before I finished speaking, I was interrupted by Tang Yuyan's squinting eyes with a sense of danger.

"What don't you want either?"

"That's not what I meant."

Tang Yuyan opened his mouth, and Shen Jialan felt that he had been misunderstood, so he hurriedly leaned over and kissed him flatteringly, but it was rare to clasp Tang Yuyan's fingers and keep confessing: "I am willing, I am very willing!" ”

Shen Jialan said, and nodded solemnly to show sincerity!
