239: Ridiculous
Although Tang Yuyan was comforted, Shen Jialan was still a little nervous, and she looked a little nervous along the way.
Several times, Shen Jialan looked at Tang Yuyan, who was driving in the car beside her, and stopped talking, but finally didn't say a word.
In the end, Tang Yuyan couldn't stand it anymore, parked the car in a parking area, and said, "What do you want to ask me?" ”
Hearing this, Shen Jialan was entangled for a moment, and without hesitating for too long, she honestly asked her doubts.
She remembered that when she was in country J before, a person who claimed to be Tang Yuyan's mother came to visit him.
She still remembered that Tang Yuyan's face was ugly at that time, and asked her not to be there.
Shen Jialan had forgotten about it, but she remembered it again after getting into the car.
One was introduced by Tang Yuyan himself, and the other was what Tang Yuyan didn't want to see......
Shen Jialan's heart was full of questions.
"I remember when I was in country J, a man who claimed to be your mother came to you." Shen Jialan raised her eyes as she spoke, glanced at Tang Yuyan cautiously, and asked tentatively, "She is your stepmother?" ”
In fact, if it was ordinary, Shen Jialan would not ask such a question. No matter how close she is with Tang Yuyan, there will still be untouchable scars in everyone's hearts, and the more intimate they are, the more they should leave enough space for each other to lick their wounds.
So when she was in country J at that time, Shen Jialan didn't ask even if she was curious.
But now, she wants to go to see her parents with Tang Yuyan, if she doesn't know anything, sometimes she may not be able to react in time, and she doesn't know what kind of attitude to face his family.
Hearing this, Tang Yuyan was silent for a moment.
In fact, he was also going to say it while driving, but he had been thinking about the language, but he didn't expect Shen Jialan to ask earlier than him.
Tang Yuyan simply didn't think about it, and replied directly: "Well, she is my stepmother." ”
Shen Jialan sighed and asked, "You don't have a good relationship with her?" ”
Tang Yuyan's rare unpretentious reaction at that time left a deep impression on Shen Jialan, so Shen Jialan took it for granted that his relationship with Ling Meixue should be very bad.
Shen Jialan even secretly guessed in her heart that the relationship between the two might be like fire and water.
However, unexpectedly, Tang Yuyan shook his head and denied it: "It's not as bad as you think, it's just not close." ”
Tang Yuyan saw Shen Jialan's thoughts and explained: "My relationship with her is very cold, and she belongs to the type of stranger. Not good, but not as bad as you think. As for the one you saw, it was because I didn't like the person who brought her over, so I got angry with her. ”
Tang Yuyan smiled self-deprecatingly as he spoke, and explained his life experience to Shen Jialan in her surprised reaction.
In fact, Tang Yuyan's identity is really a bit complicated, so he just briefly mentioned the names of his father and grandfather without saying much.
However, although Tang Yuyan was just a simple brushstroke, but with those simple words, Shen Jialan's eyelids couldn't help but jump.
Tang An, Tang Xiao...... One is the founding father, the other is the first leader of Anseong, no matter which name it is, it is a well-known signboard of country Z. And they, one is Tang Yuyan's grandfather, and the other is his father......
So strictly speaking, Tang Yuyan turned out to be both a third-generation red and a son of a high-ranking cadre, even if he didn't achieve anything, going out with the shade of his family would definitely make people grovel and nod his head, and he couldn't wait to lick his smiling face and thank him for his condescension.
Shen Jialan never thought that she had found an amazing man, and for a while, looking at Tang Yuyan's eyes, she couldn't help but be a little complicated.
She even began to imagine that if it weren't for the early love between the two of them when they were in the same school, maybe Tang Yuyan's identity would not be something she could have reached when she lived with Shen's father.
For a while, Shen Jialan thought that she had picked up a gem and was very happy, but suddenly someone came over and said to her, you have not only picked up gems, but also peerless treasures that have been inherited for a long time...... The original happiness instantly turned into apprehension, and the gem in his hand became a hot existence. In short, Shen Jialan felt that it was a little complicated that could not be explained.
However, Tang Yuyan's point was not here, so Shen Jialan was only shocked and sighed, and soon followed Tang Yuyan's next words and left it behind.
"I just took you to the cemetery to see my mother, who fell ill and died when I was in elementary school. ……”
Tang Yuyan's tone was very calm, without the slightest indignation, his tone was concise and to the point, without any personal feelings, as if he was talking about other people's affairs and had nothing to do with him.
From his words, Shen Jialan slowly pieced together his complete life experience.
Tang An is Tang Yuyan's grandfather, and from the current point of view, he belongs to the kind of big man who has outstanding military achievements and can make country Z tremble with a stomp.
According to the original trajectory, Tang Yuyan's father Tang Xiao should also be in the army, and his son should inherit his father's business and inherit Tang An's mantle. It's just that Tang Xiao has no interest in soldiers who can only fight and kill since he was a child, but is very interested in the political circles of conspiracy and intrigues, so he directly abandoned the connections that Tang An had saved in the military circles and chose to take the road of officialdom.
And since Tang Xiao chose to go to officialdom, there is naturally no place for Tang An to give full play to the connections he has saved for many years. After all, the military world is Tang An's home base. If Tang Xiao chooses to join the army, then the help he can get is definitely incomparable to anyone. But on the contrary, Tang Xiao chose officialdom, and the help of Tang An's connections naturally became limited.
Therefore, at that time, Tang Xiao married Jiang Xin, who was helpful to his career and could give him some help, that is, Tang Yuyan's mother.
In fact, logically speaking, the Jiang family's influence in the political world is not as great as the Tang family's influence in the military circles, but for Tang Xiao at that time, it was indeed beneficial to him. So even if he married low, he married back, and he respected Jiang Xin like a guest. With the help of the Jiang family, he slowly stepped into the officialdom, and gradually began to emerge in the officialdom.
And within a few years of marrying Tang Xiao, Jiang Xin quickly became pregnant with Tang Yuyan. When Jiang Xinsheng Tang Yuyan was born, because of dystocia, and the medical conditions at that time were far from being as good as they are now, his health gradually deteriorated after falling into the root of the disease, and within a few years, his condition deteriorated to the extent that he was bedridden.
……
"At that time, my dad cared about my mom very much and invited many doctors to see her, whether it was Chinese medicine or Western medicine. But the doctors shook their heads after seeing it, saying that it could not be cured. ”
If everything just stops here, then no matter what Tang Xiao's purpose of marrying Jiang Xin was in the first place, at least he has fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband, then there is no need to mention it.
At least, in the eyes of Tang Yuyan, who was ignorant at the time and was still very dependent on his parents, Tang Xiao was a qualified husband and father.
Although, after he became sensible, he knew that his parents' marriage began with a marriage. But Tang Xiao at that time still made him feel that his father loved his mother, at least not because he didn't, and he respected her.
Like, every time Tang Xiao sent away a group of doctors who shook their heads and said that they couldn't do anything, he would hold Jiang Xin's hand when he came back as always, and comforted her not to think too much about recuperation, he would continue to find a better doctor, and she would be fine.
Every time, after getting a disappointed answer, Tang Xiao would always comfort Jiang Xin like this. The man's calm attitude affected Jiang Xin, moved her to the ground, and moved Tang Yuyan, who was worried about his mother's condition every day, with tears in his eyes, thinking that he had the best father in the world.
Until, once......
Jiang Xin was sick in bed, so he hardly left the room. In order to accompany his mother, Tang Yuyan stayed by her side every afternoon after school, and never almost went out of the room, and often fell asleep next to Jiang Xin's bed, and was finally carried back to his room by the maid.
But that time, I don't know why, there was no servant at home. He fell asleep for a long time, and no one went to hold him. Jiang Xin was sick in bed again, for fear that his son would catch a cold after sleeping for a long time, so he woke him up and asked Tang Yuyan to walk back to the room to sleep.
Tang Yuyan was pushed awake, the whole person was still in a daze, rubbing his eyes and walking out obediently.
It was also when he walked out of the room that he realized why, there was no maid to hold him today.
There were guests at home, and all the servants were waiting for them below, for fear of offending the coquettish guests who came over, so no one even took Tang Yuyan with them.
The downstairs was too lively, and Tang Yuyan, who was originally sleepy, was driven away by the noise, and unconsciously held on to the handrail of the stairs and stepped on the stairs to go down.
Tang Yuyan, who was still in elementary school at the time, was not tall, a small group, and everyone's attention was on Jiaoke, so almost no one noticed him.
Of course, the most important thing is that Tang Yuyan never appeared at this time in the past, so everyone subconsciously ignored him.
That was the first time Tang Yuyan saw Ling Meixue.
She sat on the couch, next to her two older figures who looked like her elders, and across from her sat his father and grandfather.
Tang Yuyan listened in a daze for half an hour before he reacted, they were discussing marriage.
discussed the marriage of Ling Meixue and Tang Xiao after Jiang Xin's death......
……
His mom is still alive!
His father was discussing marriage with someone else!
How ridiculous and infuriating!
And the saddest thing is that before this, he covered it up so well, as if he was a good man with deep affection for his wife and a good man who loved his family!
Tang Yuyan felt that in a short period of time, his father's image collapsed in his heart!
There was a little beast in his heart that was biting angrily, he rushed out with red eyes, clenched his fists and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
……
Tang Yuyan was quickly hugged by the servants at Tang Xiao's signal.
Half an hour later, Tang Xiao asked the maid to use the key to open the door that Tang Yuyan had locked.
"Yuyan, I'm sorry, Dad didn't expect you to be there and let you see such a thing, it's my fault."
From rushing out to being taken away, Tang Yuyan had been silent for half an hour, without saying a word, and his heart was full of unbelievable shock.
Hearing Tang Xiao's words at this moment, he finally spoke, but with anger: "You just said it because I saw it, right?" Don't you feel sorry for your mother? ”
Tang Yuyan thought that Tang Xiao should be guilty of guilt.
However, it didn't.
Tang Xiao's voice was very frank.
"Yuyan, you should know that my mother and I are married, and we have no feelings for each other. And I've done what a husband does. ”
