He Tiantian treated everyone around her with a grateful heart. However, reaching middle age, she discovered she had been living inside a full-bodied lie.
Returning to the year 1970, He Tianti...

"Sister Tian, Tang Qian is quite capable; he did a good job," Qi Xiaoyan said. "Look at all the people who came today; many of them have gold chains around their necks, so they must be wealthy."
“Yes,” Jiang Wenwen said, “the clothes are nice, and the model is good-looking too. Look at those men, their eyes are practically glowing with lust.”
Cars, car models.
These are indeed two of men's greatest loves!
This exhibition hall is very large, with more than a dozen booths displaying cars of various colors and models, and it was surrounded by many people.
Some people placed orders on the spot, while others hesitated and, led by the salesperson, went to an outside venue for a test drive. After the test drive, under the persuasion of the salesperson and the car model, they usually placed an order.
Tang Qian was surrounded by many people, most of whom were young people around his age.
He Tiantian, Qi Zhengmin, Qi Xiaoyan, and Jiang Wenwen immediately became the focus of everyone's attention after they entered.
"How was it? How was the opening day?" Tang Qian said proudly. So far, more than forty cars had been ordered, and it was only a little past ten in the morning.
Qi Zhengmin praised, "Very good, excellent! If today's success is great, we will promote it to several other places."
"Don't worry, we've already pre-ordered over forty cars," Tang Qian said. "Conservatively speaking, we can sell about a hundred cars today."
"That's wonderful," Qi Zhengmin said. Production was underway in Nanshi, and the only concern was poor sales leading to overstocking. It seems there's no need to worry now.
Seeing that many people were staring at her, He Tiantian didn't want to stay there any longer.
"Fourth Uncle, let's go take a look over there. You stay with your friend." After saying that, He Tiantian pulled Qi Zhengmin over there.
After He Tiantian and the others left.
"Fourth Uncle, that's a girl, really beautiful. You're so lucky!" A man next to him said with a grin. He was usually a playboy from Yanjing City and had a good relationship with Tang Qian. He had come to support him today.
Tang Qian frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Those are people with powerful connections. You might accidentally cause trouble for yourselves and your families."
"Huh?" Liu Qiang asked curiously, "That woman in the light gray dress was the prettiest. What's her background?"
"Hehe, Huo Yingjie's wife, He Tiantian," Tang Qian said. These people may not have met Huo Yingjie, but they must have all heard of his name.
Their circle is neither particularly large nor particularly small.
When someone's child becomes successful or outstanding, they become the "other people's child" that elders talk about.
Liu Qiang was taken aback, then chuckled awkwardly and said, "They do indeed have quite a background."
They are spoiled brats, but they are not fools.
No one would offend the Huo family without a reason, nor would they dare to offend Huo Yingjie.
Those nearby also heard Tang Qian and Liu Qiang's conversation.
No matter how good-looking those people are, they won't mess with them. If they cause trouble, they'll inevitably get a beating from their fathers.
There were so many people that He Tiantian and others also started acting as guides.
At noon, everyone took turns eating, and it wasn't until 5 p.m. that the people looking at cars at the Fuxi Auto Sales Point finally left.
Tang Qian asked his good friend Liu Qiang to take his friends to the restaurant, and he went over after calculating the bill.
"How many cars did you sell today?" He Tiantian asked, wanting to see the sales figures.
The accountant is compiling the statistics.
"We've sold 168 cars today," Accountant Yu said. "The total revenue is 6.78 million. Of those, 35 are from the 'Tough Guy' series and 133 are from the 'Economy Comfort' series."
Tang Qian was overjoyed to hear this.
“Great! We’ll transfer the payment to the head office tomorrow and have them speed up production and delivery. I estimate that our 300 cars here won’t be enough to sell for a week,” Tang Qian said, as he was very keen to grasp the market in Yanjing.
His friends and brothers bought quite a lot.
“Yes, Mr. Tang,” Accountant Yu replied.
Afterwards, Tang Qian invited He Tiantian and others to a celebration banquet.
He Tiantian originally didn't want to go, but seeing that Qi Zhengmin was going, she went along.
As soon as I stepped out of the main gate, there was a car waiting there.
When He Tiantian came out, Huo Yingjie rolled down the car window.
He Tiantian arrived today in Qi Xiaoyan's car, and now her husband has come to pick her up, so she got directly into Huo Yingjie's car.
Qi Zhengmin and the others were very envious.
"Yingjie, why did you come to pick me up?" He Tiantian asked, sitting down next to Huo Yingjie.
The cast on Huo Yingjie's leg has been removed, but the doctor still advised him not to walk or run fast and to continue resting for a while.
"I guessed you'd have a celebration party, and I was worried you'd drink too much, so I came to pick you up," Huo Yingjie said with a smile. This was just the surface reason; the real reason was that his wife's period was ten days late.
Huo Yingjie suspects that He Tiantian is pregnant.
He Tiantian doesn't usually keep track of these things, and she's been busy lately.
As a thoughtful husband, Huo Yingjie remembered these trivial matters.
"Hehe, my husband is so good." He Tiantian smiled. "By the way, let's grab something to eat and then head back. We won't be staying for long."
"It's alright." Huo Yingjie smiled. In the future, Tian Tian will be living and working in Yanjing, and she will need to have her own social circle.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Liu Qiang had already made the arrangements.
Seeing He Tiantian holding the arm of a handsome, tall man, one can guess that this is He Tiantian's husband, Huo Yingjie.
"Hello, hello, I've heard so much about you, I'm Liu Qiang." Liu Qiang stepped forward, wanting to shake hands with Huo Yingjie.
Huo Yingjie extended his hand, shook it gently, and said, "Liu Qiang, the second grandson of the Liu family, hello, I am Huo Yingjie."
"Brother, sister-in-law, please come in." Liu Qiang was very pleased to see that Huo Yingjie could tell him his background and treated him with great hospitality.
"Thank you!" Huo Yingjie nodded and followed him inside.
Huo Yingjie's arrival attracted a lot of attention, and many people came over to offer him a toast.
Huo Yingjie was keen to make friends and drank quite a bit of alcohol.
On the contrary, He Tiantian did not drink alcohol, but Huo Yingjie replaced it with juice.
At the celebration banquet, glasses clinked and everyone was in high spirits.
Finally, Huo Yingjie stood up, poured himself a small glass of wine, and said, "This glass of wine is for everyone here. I wish you all prosperous business in the future."
When Huo Yingjie offered a toast, the others all stood up.
After having a few drinks, Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "We still have children at home, so we won't stay any longer. Let's continue celebrating."
"Let's get together again sometime," everyone said.
Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian left.
Qi Xiaoyan, Jiang Wenwen, and Qi Zhengmin were also taken away by He Tiantian; they couldn't be allowed to drink with those people.
All three of them had been drinking. He Tiantian had her bodyguard take Jiang Wenwen home, and then drove Qi Xiaoyan and Qi Zhengmin home.
Niu Dajun was worried when he saw that his wife had been drinking, but when he saw that He Tiantian had brought the wine, he didn't think too much about it and carried his wife back home.
