Tai Wu's smile was tragic, and Xie Qian didn't know how to comfort him for a moment.
Xie Qian thought about it, and finally decided to walk over and sit quietly next to Tai Wu.
Seeing that Xie Qian didn't care about his image at all, Wen Ying also sat next to Xie Qian. None of the three spoke. Wen Ying secretly glanced at Tai Jia out of the corner of her eye.
Everything in the house is neatly arranged, without any clutter. The furniture is basically old items that are full of the flavor of time. From the first impression, the Tai family is not luxurious... but has a lot of heritage.
After all, it is an old family.
Wen Ying had been to Xie Yuping's house last time. The furniture and furnishings were of similar style, but Xie Yuping's house was more "new", while Tai's house had an old-fashioned atmosphere.
Living changes the spirit, and nourishment changes the body.
The Xie family as a whole is developing upward, and the atmosphere at home is different from that of the Tai family.
Because the Xie family is on the rise as a whole, all the members are full of energy, including the most boisterous Xie Jinghu. Everyone has a sense of confidence, and everyone believes that the Xie family will get better and better.
So what about the Tai family?
If a person's family conditions are very good from birth to his twenties, and his life has been very prosperous, and he is about to make his mark after adulthood, but his family suddenly falls from its peak, how painful will this person be?
Zhuo Jinxin's family has fallen on hard times, while Tai Zheng and Tai Jing are typical examples of families that have fallen on hard times.
The former completely left the original circle, while the latter did not leave but retreated from the center to the edge. Wen Ying didn't know which situation was more difficult to accept. Anyway, Zhuo Jinxin and the Tai brothers and sisters made similar choices.
When Wen Ying heard that Mr. Tai was taken away, all her recent worries disappeared.
Wen Ying has her doubts about Tai Zheng being a "mysterious man".
She felt that Tai Zheng was not yet ready to be Zhuo Jinxin's trump card. If it was Old Man Tai, Wen Ying would believe it.
But Wen Ying couldn't understand why Mr. Tai became Zhuo Jinxin's trump card.
At Mr. Tai's age, it is normal to hope that his children and grandchildren will be successful, but it is abnormal to push them into the fire pit.
Do smuggling?
It was a bit beyond Wen Ying's expectations.
For someone at Mr. Tai's level, being involved in smuggling is really too low-end!
Wen Ying was just thinking about it when Zhang Nan and Peng Guoqing actually came together.
Seeing Xie Qian, Wen Ying and Tai Wu sitting on the floor in the Tai family's living room, Zhang Nan and Peng Guoqing were stunned.
Peng Guoqing thought about it and quietly sat on the other side of Tai Wu.
Zhang Nan laughed angrily, "Are you guys sitting in protest?"
After Mr. Zhang’s funeral, Zhang Nan never saw Xie Qian again. She knew that only by not seeing him would she stop thinking about him, and if she didn’t think about him, she would slowly stop liking him.
Every time I am about to lose control, I think more about Zhang Zhijun, and the shame will instantly overwhelm my love.
In addition, Zhang Nan spent a lot of energy on her studies, and gradually, she really didn't miss Xie Qian much.
Studies occupied Zhang Nan's time, and another person besides Xie Qian filled Zhang Nan's spiritual space.
Zhang Nan didn't sit quietly with Tai Wu. She pulled Tai Wu up and said, "Can you be more promising?"
Tai Wu staggered and almost fell.
"How can I achieve anything?"
Tai Wu laughed at himself: "Our whole family has been taken away, and now I'm the only one left. You don't know, I was just wondering why they didn't take me away with them so that I wouldn't be alone!"
Now, let alone Xie Qian and Wen Ying, even someone as carefree as Peng Guoqing frowned.
"Pfft, pfft, don't say such unlucky words..."
Zhang Nan was furious: "So you mean the police should take me away too? After all, my uncle and cousin have been arrested!"
Tai Wu stopped talking.
Zhang Nan glared at him fiercely, turned around and left, and Tai Wu did not chase after him.
At this moment, Tai Wu had no romantic thoughts at all. To put it bluntly, the Tai family was already in this state. From the Zhang family's perspective, only Zhang Zhijun was implicated in the case, and the rest of the Zhang family was relatively clean, so the impact on the Zhang family wouldn't be too great.
Zhang Nan is still the little princess of the Zhang family.
And what about him?
Without the Tai family, there is a high probability that we will be nothing!
It would be really malicious for a person who has no future to keep pestering Zhang Nan.
Xie Qian stood up and pulled Wen Ying with him.
Tai Wu was feeling depressed, but Xie Qian insisted he focus on the real thing: "If you're not planning on pursuing Zhang Nan, then talk to us. Do you know what materials your grandfather submitted? What did he say when those people came to take you away? Even if the whole Tai family is in trouble, are you going to just let it go and not even care about your mother?"
"Yeah, tell me what you know, you're driving me crazy!"
Peng Guoqing muttered, "I came here because I really treat you as a brother. You can spend my money, but you can't waste my feelings."
Wen Ying was not from this circle, so she did not interrupt.
With the persuasion of Xie Qian and Peng Guoqing, Tai Wu gradually calmed down.
Tai Wu remembered what his grandfather said to him when he just came back.
Actually, grandpa made the decision from that time on, right?
Tai Wu rushed to Mr. Tai's study.
There was no one in the study, but the calligraphy was placed on the desk.
The four big characters "Observe Discipline and Abide by Laws" have already dried up, and a few small characters were added at the bottom right corner at some point: To my grandson Tai Chao.
Tai Wu burst into tears while holding the calligraphy.
Peng Guoqing was about to go into the study when Xie Qian stopped him.
"Let's go downstairs and wait for him to calm down."
Peng Guoqing glanced at the study again. Tai Wu's face was covered with tears and he looked very embarrassed. Peng Guoqing immediately turned around and followed Xie Qian downstairs.
Peng Guoqing was terrified.
The Tai family collapsed as soon as they said they would. Everything happened so fast!
