Chapter 82 Chapter 82 Bad Luck
"Airport?" Three years ago, Tan Du worked overtime all night and received a call just as he was about to go to bed.
"Yeah, that brat didn't even tell us he was participating in the competition. We only saw him on TV. The finals are in two days, so we secretly came here." Bai's mother lowered her voice and said, "Your uncle didn't let me call you, saying he was afraid of disturbing your work. But I haven't seen you in a long time, so I came here because I thought about you..."
"Of course I have to say it. I missed you guys so much." While Bai's mother was speaking, Tan Du had already put on his clothes, grabbed the car keys and walked out. "Auntie, I'm going to the airport now."
"Oh, no need, we can just take a taxi."
"I'm free. I said I'd pick you up here, but I never had the time. This is perfect for you guys." Tan Du started the car. "I'm already leaving. Call me when you get off the plane. Don't wander off, or I'll have wasted my trip."
Mr. and Mrs. Bai have lived in a small county town all their lives. The only place they move around is in the free shipping area. They have never been on a plane, so he is not at ease.
Before starting the car, he informed Bai Yue of the news, and Bai Yue was so angry that he started cursing.
"Don't scold them for now. Don't they just want to see their son in action?" Tan Du said with a smile. "I'm here, don't worry. Uncle and Auntie will stay at my house for the next two days, so you can focus on preparing for the competition."
"Thank you." Bai Yue replied.
"Don't be disrespectful to me," Tan Du said, "You came here and didn't tell me. I haven't settled the score with you yet."
"How can I have the time? I didn't even think about coming to your place, otherwise I would have killed you long ago. Are you not on a business trip?"
"What a coincidence! I'm here these days, and you have another chance to be filial to your parents."
"Hmph, remember to be filial to your brother when the time comes."
"Screw you, are you in good shape? Can't you come out before the game?"
"I'm fine. I can't get out. My coach wants to sleep by my bed and stare at me."
Tan Du laughed for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go over first and give you the news when I get it."
"Well, trouble."
"If you say that again, I'll beat you up."
The competition was two days later. Tan Duxian took the two elders for a stroll in the city. When they returned home, they couldn't sit still and insisted on cleaning his room.
"Uncle and aunt, if you two continue like this, I'll have to ask you to stay in a hotel."
"You're here and you want to kick us out?" Bai's mother opened the refrigerator and saw it was empty. Her eyes were red. "You stuffed it full for two old guys. How are you going to live?"
Tan Du smiled and said, "I've been working overtime lately and haven't been able to take care of it."
Bai Yue opened a boxing gym, but his partner ran away, leaving him struggling to keep it afloat, prompting him to return to the ring. Bai Yue was a fierce competitor, unwilling to tell his family or take his and Su Qi's money, leaving Tan Du to do his best to ensure the couple's well-being and peace of mind.
Two days later in the competition, Bai Yue won the championship as he wished, and the four of them found a restaurant to celebrate.
Tan Du quietly paid the money and confessed the truth before Bai Yue lost his temper. He said righteously, "I didn't let you take advantage of me. Your bonus hasn't come out yet, right? I'm lending it to you. Remember to give me half of the bonus when it comes."
Bai Yue really didn't intend to be polite with him: "You pay it if you want. You're not making me act so petty. My money is useful!"
Father and Mother Bai were both asleep. They stood on the balcony smoking. Tan Du asked, "Are you going back to the boxing gym?"
Bai Yue blew out a smoke ring, his voice filled with pride: "Fuck! Let's do something big!"
"It has to be Mr. Bai. I'm just an employee here." Tan Du said, "Mr. Bai, I have some spare money. Can I join your big project?"
"Serious?" Tan Du mentioned this matter many times. Originally, Bai Yue didn't dare to drag his brothers into it because of the debt. Now that the hole has been filled, there is still some money left. He is confident and agreed after confirming it again.
Tan Du wanted to transfer the money to him on the spot.
"What's the rush?" Bai Yue scoffed. "The place is too small now. I'll find a good place when I get back. I'll contact you when I'm done renovating it."
Tan Du didn't listen and said that he shouldn't spend money on decoration.
The next morning, Bai Yue received the money and jumped up and pressed on him.
The two of them only calmed down when Bai's mother knocked on the door.
"You're already grown up! Why are you still making a fuss?"
The two tall guys let go of each other and stood on either side of the bed like two street trees, with their branches sticking straight towards each other, and they would also complain -
"Mom, he's making trouble!"
"Auntie, Bai Yue hit me..."
Bai's mother symbolically gave each of them a smack on the head: "Alright - hurry up and come out for breakfast, Xiaodu is late for work!"
After packing up, Tan Du acted like a normal person again and apologized, "Uncle and aunt, I'm sorry, I really can't take a day off today, so I can't take you to the airport this afternoon."
"You go ahead and do your thing." Father Bai waved his hand.
"I'll take you there." Bai Yue said. He still had some things to finish and would be back in two days.
"You're not needed!" Bai's mother replied, "Do you really think we two old guys are useless?"
"How could that be!" Tan Du said with a smile.
"No," Bai's mother suddenly remembered, "Didn't we book an early morning flight?"
Tan Du coughed lightly and said, "Bai Yue is worried that you will be tired, so he changed the ticket."
"Oh, that's expensive!" Bai's mother was unhappy and slammed the table, "Bai Yue!"
Bai Yue bit into a bun and said nonchalantly, "Mom, your son is not deaf. This is a big city. If you shout so loudly, be careful that the neighbors will complain."
He leaned over and whispered, "It's still first class."
Upon hearing this, Bai's mother raised her arm to hit him, but he immediately retreated and said lazily, "Do you think I can do such a thing?"
"It's Xiaodu again, right?" said Father Bai.
"My dad is really smart," Bai Yue put his arm around Tan Du's shoulder, "This is a gift from your youngest son, so just enjoy it. He's come all the way here, so I have to let him spend some money, right?"
"I'm older than you," Tan Du glanced at him and said to the two elders with a smile, "Uncle and aunt, it's not expensive, really. I usually travel a lot and have a lot of miles, so I can upgrade for free."
"If you don't go, it means you despise Tan Du!" Bai Yue added fuel to the fire.
"What do you mean by disgust?" Bai's mother tapped Bai Yue on the forehead. "If you say that again, don't come back!"
Mother Bai glanced at Father Bai and agreed: "Alright, then don't let Xiaodu down."
Bai Yue grimaced and cried out in pain. Tan Du heard that there was something else in his words, but there was really no time at the time because his colleagues kept urging him.
At that time, Tan Du's parents, who were on the other side of the ocean, were keen on urging him to get married. He was annoyed and confessed his sexual orientation.
When I was on the phone, I was overheard by colleagues from other groups. They said on the surface that this was normal, but they were whispering behind my back and secretly teaming up to trip me up.
The leader talked to him and told him frankly that although there were no rules and regulations restricting sexual orientation, it was a society based on personal relationships after all, and subjective scores would be affected, so his path to promotion would not be smooth.
His voice will inevitably affect the salary increases and bonuses of team members. It is not easy to work hard outside, so he can only work with all his strength.
After hearing the agreement, he hurried out. When he reached the entrance, Bai's mother ran over and stuffed him two bites of bread.
Bai Yue started to tease, "The atmosphere has become so tense, Tan Du, why don't you give our mom a hug?"
Tan Du smiled and bent down slightly, just like when Bai's mother held her crying child in her arms countless times when she was a child, and patted him gently: "I'm leaving, Auntie, see you next time."
"Come home when you have time and be healthy," Bai's mother paused and added, "Your uncle and aunt will support you in whatever you do."
Tan Du's bent body was shaking violently, and tears kept falling. Qiao Zhuoyi couldn't wipe them away, and his eyes unconsciously turned red.
"That was the last time I saw them." Tan Du's voice was hoarse. "I have no home anymore, Zhuoyi."
Qiao Zhuoyi's heart was in agony. He hugged the man tightly and sniffed: "Was it a car accident?"
Tan Du shook his head almost imperceptibly.
That seems to leave only one possibility...
Tan Du was on his way to a client's company and was stuck in traffic on the overpass. When the radio announced the flight number of the crashed plane, his whole body froze and he searched for his bag with trembling hands.
The A4 paper in the bag cut the back of his hand and made it bleed. It was too slippery and he couldn't find his phone.
Seeing him like this, the colleague next to him roughly guessed what he had done and said hurriedly, "Don't worry, Brother Tan, I'll help you translate it."
No.
He touched it.
My hands were shaking like a sieve and I couldn't unlock the door.
The colleague wiped the blood off his hand and grabbed his finger and pressed it.
He couldn't see clearly, but he knew the answer from the gasps among his colleagues.
Misfortune flew out of Pandora's box.
Tan Du rushed to the airport, and Bai Yue grabbed him and yelled like crazy: "Are you satisfied?
"You're promising! You're rich! If it weren't for you, would your parents have boarded this plane?"
…
Misfortune brought death.
"Tan Du, give my parents back to me!"
"Tan Du, I hate you!"
"Tan Du, you owe me two lives."
Claim the body and hold a funeral.
Tan Du cannot see time.
He was just a shell.
funeral……
He didn't enter the mourning hall.
Bai Yue told him to get lost.
Tan Du seemed to have turned into a walking corpse.
Su Qi was worried about him, and when he learned that he was going back to resign, he wanted to accompany him.
"Let me drive, Tan Du," Su Qi pulled him at the airport gate, "or the high-speed rail will work too!"
Tan Du didn't listen to him. He checked in, went through security... and then he started vomiting violently when he got to the jet bridge.
He hadn't eaten anything at all, so he had nothing to vomit, but he couldn't stop.
The physical pain actually made him feel happy.
