Chapter 638: Tantai Qinglan (Part 2)
Tan Tai Qinglan is the eldest aunt of the Tan Tai family, the most aristocratic family in the ancient martial arts world. She is also the daughter of the current head of the Tan Tai family and the younger sister of the young master.
Tan Tai Qing Lan fell in love with Xie Chu Jun at first sight at the age of sixteen and has been chasing him ever since. She has been chasing him for five whole years, from when Xie Chu Jun was nineteen to when he was twenty-four, but she has never been able to impress him.
As the eldest daughter and the only girl in the Tan Tai family, Tan Tai Qinglan has been loved by her father, brothers and elders since she was a child, and has developed a willful and capricious character.
Although he was rejected again and again, and even beaten by the angry Xie Chujun several times, with his hands and feet broken and thrown out of the door, he was stubborn and refused to give up. As soon as his injuries healed, he continued to persevere and approach Xie Chujun.
Xie Chujun was really fed up with being harassed, so he simply found an opportunity to quietly leave the ancient martial arts world, both for the sake of gaining experience and to avoid Tan Tai Qinglan.
Then another four years passed.
When Xie Chujun finally returned to the ancient martial arts world, Tan Tai Qinglan was already twenty-five years old.
In the ancient martial arts world where the average age of marriage is 20, 25 is considered an old girl, and under normal circumstances she should have been married a long time ago.
Xie Chujun thought so too.
It just so happened that he and Fan Jingyun got to know each other and fell in love during the process of training. Feeling that they were of marriageable age, he took Fan Jingyun back to the Xie family to meet his parents and set a date for the wedding.
Just when Xie Chujun was waiting to marry his beautiful wife, Tan Tai Qinglan, whom he had almost forgotten, stopped Fan Jingyun when he accidentally went out, and started fighting without saying a word.
Although Fan Jingyun's body had recovered a lot by then, he had lost much of his holy blood and his cultivation was almost gone. He could only rely on tricks to deal with the opponent, and after a few moves, he gradually fell into a disadvantage.
By the time Xie Chujun got the news and rushed over, Fan Jingyun had already suffered serious injuries.
This completely angered Xie Chujun.
He didn't even care about the relationship between the Xie family and the Tan Tai family. He returned double the injuries suffered by Fan Jingyun on the spot, and even threw Tan Tai Qinglan on the street in a very ungraceful manner, and made harsh remarks in public.
Tan Tai Qinglan was heartbroken and hurt, and was finally carried back home by the Tan Tai family's guards.
After this incident, the head of the Tantai family finally felt ashamed and kept his daughter under guard until Xie Chujun got married.
But at this moment, Tan Tai Qing Lan seemed like a completely changed person. She was no longer as willful and capricious as before. She was so calm and elegant that even her family almost didn't recognize her.
While feeling worried, the head of the Tantai family also breathed a sigh of relief.
Knowing her obsession with Xie Chujun, he did not dare to force her to get married, and gave her time to slowly digest and accept the reality that Xie Chujun had married someone else.
But what no one expected was that it would take a full twenty years to digest.
Fan Jingyun gave birth to a daughter, then disappeared. Fan Jingyun and Xie Chujun's daughter also disappeared. Something bad happened to the Xie family, and Xie Chujun refused the help of the Tantai family and refused to marry Tantai Qinglan again...
Many things happened in the past twenty years, but Tan Tai Qing Lan seemed to be completely unconcerned. She had lost her former willfulness and became more gentle and demure day by day. Whenever she appeared in front of people, she was always wearing a long white dress with a smile on her lips.
Suddenly, one would think that he saw the short-lived but peerlessly beautiful woman.
She was imitating Xie Chujun's young wife.
Everyone realized this and couldn't help but sigh.
I don't know whether to say she is infatuated and loyal, or to say she is stubborn.
But no matter what others think, Tan Tai Qinglan persevered and is now 44 years old and still single.
Moreover, more than a month ago, he saved the daughter of Xie Chujun and Fan Jingyun regardless of past grudges. Under the pretext of visiting Xie Siyun, he finally had the opportunity to get close to Xie Chujun in a legitimate way.
Pulling away from distant memories, Tantai Qinglan looked at Xie Siyun's face in the mirror, her smile becoming even gentler. "In just over a month, Siyun, you've become even more beautiful, and your lightning abilities have also become much stronger. It seems your father has put a lot of thought into you."
Xie Siyun smiled shyly and lowered her head slightly.
There was peace in Tantai Qinglan's eyes, and the look she gave Xie Siyun was even more gentle and loving. If someone who didn't know was here, they would definitely think that they were a real mother and daughter.
This was what Xie Chujun saw when he arrived. His brows knitted tightly together, and he lowered his voice and called out, "Siyun."
Xie Siyun's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately looked up: "Father."
Xie Chujun responded calmly, without entering the room. He said across the threshold, "The guests are already here. If you are ready, please come out."
Xie Siyun's eyes lit up, and he tried hard to suppress the joy on the corners of his mouth. He nodded reservedly and said, "Okay, father."
Xie Chujun responded again, then turned around and walked back.
From beginning to end, he didn't even glance in the direction of Tan Tai Qing Lan.
After Xie Siyun's surprise, she thought of Tan Tai Qing Lan who was standing beside her. She stole a glance at her and said in a low voice, "My father is just like that. Aunt Lan, don't mind it."
Tantai Qinglan bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, smiled when she heard the words, and shook her head: "Of course not."
He joked, "If that were the case, I would mind. I wouldn't be here today."
Although it was a joke, Xie Siyun knew that she was telling the truth.
During this period of time, she had heard too many stories about this Miss Tan Tai's mad pursuit of her father, so naturally she would not doubt the extent of her tolerance for Xie Chujun.
I couldn't help but sigh: "If I were the father, I would have been moved by Aunt Lan's infatuation a long time ago."
With a look of admiration, she said, "Although it's a bit unfair to say this, Mother, I still want to say, Aunt Lan, it would be so great if you were my mother. If you were my mother, those people would never dare to talk about me behind my back again, and no one would dare to bully me anymore."
The smile on Tantai Qinglan's face became more genuine. She raised her hand and touched the top of her head, saying, "My dear child, no matter whether I can become your mother or not, as long as I am here, I will protect you."
Her eyes were gentle, and she said seriously, "Although your father doesn't accept me, I will always recognize him in my heart. In my heart, you are my daughter."
Xie Siyun was touched: "Auntie Lan..."
Tantai Qinglan patted her head and said with a gentle smile, "Well, today is the day you'll be inducted into the Xie family tree. Don't waste time. Go quickly. We can talk about anything after the ceremony is over."
Xie Siyun nodded heavily, picked up the hem of her skirt and turned around, but the next moment, her smile fell and a sneer appeared in her eyes.
