Tai Zheng's question really caught Tai Wu off guard.
Does the Tai family need his marriage to get through the difficult times?
You need to give up your freedom of marriage, give up Zhang Nan, and help the Tai family overcome the difficulties... Needless to say, you will definitely choose to give up Zhang Nan to help the Tai family overcome the difficulties!
After all, it seems that Tai Wu is just unrequitedly in love with Zhang Nan, and Zhang Nan has no such intention. Even if Zhang Nan also likes Tai Wu, Tai Wu will not change his choice:
"If I were in this situation, I would explain it clearly to Zhang Nan. I believe she would understand me. Similarly, if the Zhang family encountered the same difficulties and needed Zhang Nan to exchange marriage for them, and I tried my best but couldn't solve the Zhang family's predicament, I would choose to let go and let Zhang Nan marry someone more suitable."
Tai Wu's ideas are very simple.
He is not able to solve the troubles encountered by the Zhang family, but he wants to drag Zhang Nan down and not let go. What kind of miserable drama is he making?
When two people are entangled, it will cause long-lasting pain.
The two people chose to separate, and the pain is temporary. As time passes, they may still be able to remain friends in the future.
Tai Zheng smiled. "Yes, Zhang Nan might understand you and won't resent you for breaking up, because she and you have the same upbringing. She understands your choice! Shi Hong is different. She wouldn't understand my choice. Besides, Shi Hong was already pregnant at the time—"
Tai Wu interrupted impatiently: "Isn't it all your fault? Anyway, no matter who I date, I won't let my girlfriend get pregnant before we get married. Don't talk about whether it's an accident or not. If there is that tiny probability that an 'accident' has happened, it means that God has already arranged what I should do. I will bring my pregnant girlfriend home and tell grandpa that I can't use marriage to help the Tai family overcome the difficulties. If the Tai family can't make it through this, it means that the Tai family's luck has run out. There have been so many dynasties and so many families in history, and I haven't seen any of them prosper forever. Sooner or later, they will all end. It's better for me to live a good life with my pregnant girlfriend. Even if I don't have the ability to make the Tai family turn around in the next few decades, what if my child is particularly promising and brings the Tai family to prosperity again!"
Tai Wu's open-mindedness left Tai Zheng at a loss for words.
After a while, Tai Zheng said self-deprecatingly, "You are quite open-minded."
Tai Wu took it as a compliment.
What can I do if I can’t get over it?
——You are obviously not cut out for it. You are not a genius like Xie Qian who can turn the tide, but you force yourself to do things beyond your ability. Aren’t you tired?
Tai Wu looked at his father as if he were a thief. "Don't tell me those nonsense to distract me. I don't want to hear how entangled you were in the past. Anyway, the consequences of your choice are obvious now. I just want to ask you one thing. Besides Shi Hong, are there other things you are hiding from my mother? Is Shi Hong's daughter really not found, or is she hidden by you?"
Tai Zheng frowned: "I am your father, not the prisoner you are interrogating!"
Tai Zheng obviously didn't want to answer.
In other words, Tai Wu failed to divert attention as Tai Zheng hoped, and Tai Zheng was unwilling to cooperate with Tai Wu in playing the interrogation game!
Tai Wu pushed the door and got out of the car without saying a word.
Tai Zheng stopped him and said, "Where are you going in the middle of the night?"
Tai Wu turned his head and smiled, "I want to go find my ex-uncle to reminisce about the past. I heard that he's been trying to mess with our family, so I have to go talk to him."
A feeling of annoyance rose from Tai Zheng's feet and rushed to his head.
"Are you threatening me?"
Tai Wu resolutely refused to admit it. "I just want to do something for my family! Although my family doesn't need to throw me out for marriage yet, I've been eating at the Tai family for so many years, so I should at least do something for them, right?"
Tai Zheng now confirmed that Tai Wu was threatening him.
This feeling was both infuriating and novel to Tai Zheng. In just one or two years, Tai Chao seemed to have grown up all of a sudden.
In Tai Zheng's opinion, Tai Chao's current methods are still very immature, but there is no doubt that Tai Chao has grasped the point that Tai Zheng cares about - the Tai family.
"How dare you say such words? You threaten me with the safety of the Tai family. If I had known you were such a bastard..."
The veins on the good-tempered Tai Zheng's forehead bulged, but Tai Wu continued to smile nonchalantly, "If you had known I was such a reckless little bastard, you would have thrown me away? I thought we all knew I was a jerk. Just because I've been acting well and looking motivated lately, you can't hold me to the standard of a 'filial son'. I've always been such a jerk!"
Being a good child will have psychological burdens, but being a bad child will have no burdens at all.
Tai Wu really couldn't make a big deal out of it without caring about the safety of the Tai family, but he was taking a gamble, betting on how much his father valued the Tai family.
If his father felt that he could take such a risk and was determined to suppress his arrogance, then he would have lost the gamble.
If his father doesn't want to take any risks at all, then Tai Wu wins.
Negotiation is a game.
Father and son.
Maturity and immaturity.
There was no trace of anxiety on Tai Wu's face; his anxiety was buried in his heart.
At this moment, Tai Wu really wanted to thank Xie Qian, General Peng, and even the village chief Liu of Tangli Village... These people taught Tai Wu so much!
After staring at each other for a long time, Tai Zheng was the first to look away, a gesture of surrender:
"I lied to your mother before we got married. Shi Hong was my regret before marriage. After marriage, there will be no other Shi Hong. I respect and appreciate your mother and I will never do anything to let her down again! As for the daughter Shi Hong gave birth to, I'm afraid you won't believe me if I say we haven't found her in all these years."
Tai Wu really didn't believe it. "I'm not stupid. How could you let just one lawyer handle something like this? Our family isn't particularly wealthy, nor do we hold significant power, but we do have advantages that others can't match. We're quite capable in the medical system. Finding someone wouldn't be difficult for us, unless Shi Hongsheng's daughter hadn't been sick her entire life. If she had been sick, there would have been some trace of it."
