Everyone in the family hoped that he would achieve great things, but Tang Jingtao didn't want to.
He is willing to be mediocre. Are there still some amazing and talented people in the Tang family? Just because he doesn't want to climb to the top doesn't mean that he just doesn't want to make progress.
The three big mountains of the Tang family are weighing on him, his grandfather, father, and third uncle. How hard can he work to achieve success? To be successful?
If he goes by their conclusion, he will not be half as tired as them in this life.
My grandfather was born in that era, and he was a hero created by the era. My father was consciously cultivated by my grandfather since he was a child. His father is a military spirit and was born for the army. The third uncle's business empire was built by his own grandmother.
All the wealth of the Fujian family was handed over to him. The third uncle relied on such strong capital to get where he is today.
What about him?
What did he use to counteract it? He didn't want to join the army, he wasn't interested in business, he had no ambitions, he just wanted to get a wife and have children, live an ordinary life, he didn't want to be under pressure all his life, and only relax when he died.
"dad……"
The eldest wife wanted to speak for her son, but when she spoke, the old man glared at her and she did not dare to speak.
The old man took a puff of cigarette and blew out the choking smoke ring:
"The older one won't let go, and the younger one won't give in. I still ask you, girl, what do you think?"
The old man looked at Xin Yi, and Xin Yi shrank her neck without raising her eyes.
Tang Jinteng looked sideways at Xin Yi, sat closer to her, and took her hand in his:
"Tell Dad what you think, huh?"
Tang Jinteng tried to hold her hand, but Xin Yi opened his hand and moved it to one side. Tang Jinteng raised his hand to hold her wrist, but the old man immediately said:
"Old boy, let her speak for herself and don't interfere with her."
Tang Jinteng looked sideways at his father and hesitated to speak.
It feels really ridiculous. Why does his wife need to be interrogated like this? Whether he lives or dies in this life, it can only be his. Is it possible that it can be changed just by these few words?
He calmed down, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and withdrew his big palm.
Tang Jingtao and the eldest wife also looked at Xin Yi. Tang Jingtao looked nervous and expectant, and he always believed in his heart that she loved him. Now that someone is supporting them, she will definitely choose him!
Xin Yi finally slowly raised her eyes, looked at the old man, and asked in a low voice:
"Can I choose neither? I don't like Tang Jingtao, and I don't want to marry Tang Jinteng. I don't like anyone. I also think it's ridiculous to get into such an entanglement. I was wrong. I don't care about feelings.
I understand very well, but you can’t say that it has nothing to do with me. It’s my fault. Mr. Tang, I have never thought about entering your home. Since you can make the decision, can I ask you to give me my freedom?”
Xin Yi lowered her head slowly, sniffed, and then turned to Tang Jinteng, wanting to look at him and speak, but the look in his eyes made it impossible for her to look directly at him.
"I'm sorry, Tang Jinteng, I can't accept becoming your wife. Please don't bite me again..."
Tang Jinteng looked at Xin Yi with a dark face, and gently held her hand with his big palm:
"Xin Yi, ask your heart, do you reject this marriage?"
"I reject it!" Xin Yi shook off his hand, stood up, and stepped away holding the pillow:
"Don't interfere with my thoughts anymore, don't bite me anymore..."
Tang Jingtao stood up at that moment and walked over to his mother: "Yiyi, I..."
"Don't get close to me either. I won't choose any of you. I'm just a poor girl. I can't reach you. I've never had any sweet dreams about flying up a branch and turning into a phoenix. I know that this sounds strange to you.
It’s ridiculous, but please respect my wishes.”
Xin Yi had withdrawn from the conversation distance and stood far away, as if she was really just a passerby.
"Yiyi, if you don't love your third uncle, don't you love me?" Tang Jingtao asked bitterly.
"Don't love it!"
"You lied!" Tang Jingtao shouted loudly: "If you don't love me, why did you run away with me?"
elopement?
The eldest lady and the old man listened to all these words, and their eyes changed when they looked at Xin Yi.
Xin Yi was also startled by Tang Jingtao's words and was a little panicked. This was equivalent to pulling out the ugliest side of her in front of everyone.
Tang Jinteng's face turned darker and darker at that moment, and he immediately interrupted:
"Jingtao, you are a man in your twenties and you still think you are a child? What do you want to say without hesitation? I approved Xinyi's trip with her classmates at the end of the semester. When you learned that she was traveling with the intention of abducting,
Fortunately, my heart is towards me, and if you don't succeed, how can I talk about elopement?"
Ignorant beast!
Does he know how important a woman's reputation is? Proclaiming it so loudly is because he thinks he hasn't caused enough trouble today?
Tang Jinteng's eyes almost burst into flames. He looked at Tang Jingtao and then turned to the eldest lady:
"My sister-in-law is disappointed with me, and I have nothing to say. After all, Jingtao is not my son. I can only make suggestions but not make the final decision on many things. If you really want to blame me for Jingtao going abroad, I have nothing to say. But,
While my sister-in-law is blaming me, has she ever thought about fulfilling her responsibilities as a mother? Whether Tang Jingtao will become a successful person in the future or he will be mediocre, it is not my responsibility to hold him accountable. His parents are still alive, so how can he blame my uncle for raising his son?
push?"
The eldest lady's face turned pale, and her brother-in-law's words pierced her heart.
The eldest wife’s family is a businessman’s family and she doesn’t want her son to join the army and suffer. The eldest wife only thinks about her son working with his uncle in the future. Since when did the eldest wife’s purpose of training her son become recognized by his uncle?
The education methods that have been used for more than ten or twenty years are only now being awakened.
The son is hers. As a parent, you don't supervise your son, but you only look forward to the guidance and guidance of your capable uncle. But how much obligation does your uncle have to teach your nephew?
The old man didn't say anything. This matter was more complicated than the initial fuss.
The conflict between uncle and nephew has not yet been resolved, and there are problems between the old man and his wife. As expected, it is difficult for an upright official to handle household affairs, and this old man is really beginning to feel that his energy is not enough.
"Calm down, everyone! That's the end of today's matter. I'll just pretend that today's matter never happened..."
"Grandpa!" Tang Jingtao ignored the ethics and interrupted the old man directly:
"I want Xinyi!"
"You want her, then that girl wants you!"
The old man got angry and refused to calm down. Twenty years ago, he would hit everyone with a stick and no one would be left behind. After the beating, he would deal with them after they were subdued. How can these people today be beaten and scolded?
Do you have to rely on the difficulties that come at the right time?
"She loves me...Yiyi, please tell me you love me." Tang Jingtao said urgently.
Tang Jinteng also turned his gaze towards her, falling darkly on her face.
