Chapter 22
"Bang!" Pei Man flung her bag onto the sofa as she entered the house, her voice trembling with gritted teeth. "Look at that Mo Guozheng! He's so fake shedding tears like he has no heart! I tried to persuade Tang Miao not to be with him since college, not to be with him! She married such an ungrateful guy! If it weren't for Tang Miao, he'd be struggling in some small place!"
Pei Man became more and more excited as she spoke, tears streaming down her face. Yan Yuan hurried forward to comfort her, "Okay, okay, you're pregnant now, take care of yourself."
Pei Man wiped her tears with the back of her hand. "I just feel sorry for her. If he wasn't Xiao Sen's biological father, I would have beaten him up! How could there be such a heartless person..."
When Pei Man and Tang Miao were university students in Hangzhou, Tang Miao once met Mo Guozheng, a fellow student, in the cafeteria. Despite his relative poverty and lack of connections, Tang Miao fell in love with him at first sight, leading Pei Man to disrupt every date. Tang Miao, known for her gentle nature, never complained, finding Pei Man's actions endearing. Mo Guozheng, on the other hand, repeatedly expressed his displeasure with Pei Man.
The first quarrel they had during their relationship was because of Pei Man. That night, Pei Man waited for a long time for Tang Miao to return to the dormitory. When she was about to go downstairs to find her, she pushed open the door of the stairwell and found Tang Miao sitting on the steps sobbing softly.
Pei Man had never seen Tang Miao like this. Tang Miao always had a faint smile on her face. That was the first time Pei Man saw the broken Tang Miao. She hated Mo Guozheng so much.
Pei Man loves and hates Tang Miao, and advises her to break up quickly, saying that this man is definitely not a good person. Tang Miao just shook her head. She believed that they were in love, but there was just some misunderstanding that had not been resolved.
Later, Pei Man followed her family's arrangement and married Yan Yuan, and gave birth to Yan Yuheng, while Tang Miao was locked up at home by Tang Tianlin. Tang Tianlin believed that Mo Guozheng had bad intentions and was very opposed to the two being together. Finally, when Tang Miao fainted from hunger at home due to a hunger strike, she found out that she was already pregnant with Mo Yousen. Tang Tianlin had no choice but to arrange for the two to get married in a hurry, because the pregnancy would be obvious if she got older.
After Mo Yousen came along, Tang Tianlin changed his mind about Mo Guozheng and arranged for him to join his group as a small leader. When Mo Yousen grew up, Tang Tianlin also let Mo Guozheng take charge and handed Linsen Investment to Mo Guozheng, which later became Yusen Investment.
Tang Tianlin has always been skeptical of Mo Guozheng, so he holds the shares in his own hands. The leaders of the group, big and small, have all been his confidants for many years. Over the years, Mo Guozheng has gone from being submissive to being proud, which makes him hate Tang Tianlin even more.
"What did you tell me? Say it again!" Mo Guozheng stared at the man in front of him with his eyes wide open, and touched the tip of his nose with trembling fingers.
The man held a document in his hand, his eyes filled with disdain. He pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose, and his gentle voice uttered icy characters. "Okay, Mr. Mo. You have no authority or power to dispose of any of Ms. Tang Miao's assets. Ms. Tang signed an agreement with us before her death. Everything in her assets except cash, including jewelry, haute couture dresses, etc., will be handed over to her son Mo Yousen. Before Mo Yousen reaches adulthood, our Kunlun Trust has the right to manage this part of his property. In addition, Ms. Tang's account has 180 million RMB in cash, 50 million of which has been donated to charity, and the rest has been given to Mr. Yan Yuheng. You have no right to dispose of it."
Mo Guozheng thought he was a sure winner this time, but he hadn't expected Tang Miao to set him up. He slumped down on the sofa, smoking a cigarette, his fingertips tapping the ash. His eyes crimson, he said viciously, "Good on you, Tang Miao. You're so cruel! If you're unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."
Tang Tianlin opened his cloudy eyes in Tang Miao's room facing the night. He stood up tremblingly and stood in front of the window, staring at the garden downstairs for a long time.
Seeing two flower servants coming into the garden and walking into the greenhouse chatting and laughing, Tang Tianlin moved slowly and stiffly downstairs on crutches. He wanted to see the flowers planted by Tang Miao himself, Tang Miao's favorite lilies.
The greenhouse garden was lit, and two flower servants were tending to the plants. Tang Tianlin, his eyes red and swollen, quietly pushed open the door...
"Oh, Xiao Sen is so pitiful. Now his mother is gone, and he is left alone to deal with the mother and son!" A slightly fat woman was pruning the branches with a pair of scissors in her hand and her head down.
The man next to him cut the branch hard and said resentfully, his tone full of disgust, "Who said it wasn't true! That illegitimate child has a bad temper and low quality. They clearly have the same father, but they are worlds apart."
"Poor thing, poor thing. Rich people are just promiscuous. The illegitimate child is even older than the legitimate child."
"Once the old man leaves and those two mother and son move in, we won't have a good life anymore."
The woman threw the scissors in her hand, put her hands on her hips and looked up, shouting, "Am I afraid of her being a mistress? The worst that can happen is I'll just quit!"
"You...what did you say? Mo Guozheng, that beast! He! How dare he..." Tang Tianlin never thought that this was the reason. His daughter was actually forced to death by Mo Guozheng! He felt a heart-wrenching pain. He held the crutch tightly in his hand. The blood rushed to his head. The old voice roared, "I will..."
Tang Tianlin was so angry that his blood rushed to his chest and he fell to the ground. The two servants knew that they had spoken too much and something had happened. They looked at each other, and the woman turned around in panic, "What should we do? What should we do?"
The man yelled, "What should I do? Call an ambulance! Do you have any brains?"
The woman nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, I'll go get Master Xiaosen, you call a taxi first."
Tang Tianlin was rushed to the ICU after emergency treatment. Mo Yousen sat at the ICU door, feeling completely hopeless. He felt a wave of dizziness as he listened to the doctor's words, his eyes glazing over as he muttered, "Cerebral hemorrhage... dragging it out is torture... Be mentally prepared..." He clenched his fists and pounded the hospital wall. He wanted to leave with Tang Miao. As soon as Tang Miao left, his grandfather followed suit. Why had God treated him so unfairly? He was filled with resentment, hating Tang Miao for not taking him with him.
Why did they leave me alone to face all this? They are so selfish. They didn't even take me with them when they died. Why didn't they let me die? I really don't understand why others are afraid of death. I wish I could die right now. I want to see my mother and be reunited with her.
Hu Peng happened to be in the hospital visiting his grandmother today when he saw Mo Yousen squatting in a corner. His profile was filled with fatigue and pain, and he looked at the ground with a lonely expression. He had already learned about Mo Yousen's mother from Yan Yuheng, and it would be inappropriate to go up and comfort her now, but what was he doing in the ICU?
Hu Peng: [Heng, guess who I saw in the ICU?]
Yan Yuheng: [I have something to say, I'm not in the mood to argue with you]
Hu Peng: [Xiao Sen! I don’t know what he’s doing sitting at the ICU door]
Yan Yuheng: [Which hospital?]
Hu Peng: [Ruining, this is probably the best private hospital.]
After receiving the message, Yan Yuheng grabbed a down jacket in his pajamas and slippers, without even wearing socks, and rushed out of the room, "Yan Yuheng! Where are you going so late!"
Yan Yuheng hurriedly put on a mask and said, "Mom, I'm going to Ruining. Hu Peng saw Xiaosen in the ICU. I think something happened."
Pei Man was eating fruit. When she heard this, her fingers trembled and the fork slipped from her hand. Pei Man's face turned pale, and her throat was tightly tightened. She shouted hoarsely: "Yan Yuan, hurry! Come downstairs! Take me to Ruining."
"Why are you here?" Mo Yousen was almost unable to speak. He rested his forehead against the glass door of Tang Tianlin's ward and tilted his head to look deeply at Yan Yuheng.
Yan Yuheng's heart ached, and he leaned forward and hugged Mo Yousen tightly, rubbing his chin against Mo Yousen's head. Mo Yousen was shocked and gently closed his eyes and hugged Yan Yuheng. He seemed to not care about anyone or anything, but he couldn't let go of Yan Yuheng.
Pei Man and Yan Yuan stood aside, watching them. Pei Man felt something was odd between the two, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what. Pei Man nudged Yan Yuan with her elbow, and Yan Yuan froze for a second before reacting. He stepped forward, squeezing between the two and knocking Yan Yuheng away.
Yan Yuan put his hands on Mo Yousen's shoulders and spoke hesitantly, "Xiao Sen, why are you here?"
Mo Yousen looked lonely and spoke hoarsely, "Grandpa...can't do it anymore..."
When Yan Yuan heard this, he immediately turned to look at Pei Man. Pei Man swayed a bit and was supported by Yan Yuheng, who helped her sit on the bench next to him.
Pei Man held Yan Yuheng's hand tightly, looking dazed. "How could this happen... One crisis after another, how can a child bear it!"
Yan Yuheng patted the back of Pei Man's hand and said firmly, "Mom, wait until Xiao Sen finishes dealing with his grandfather's affairs, then we will take Xiao Sen to our home."
Pei Man was stunned for a moment. She lowered her eyes and thought for a while before agreeing. She walked forward and hugged Mo Yousen, stroking his hair bit by bit. She held back her tears and spoke in a trembling voice, "Xiaosen, be good. Auntie will accompany you to deal with these things. Later... Auntie can take you to our house, okay? You and Xiaoyan grew up together anyway, so how about you live in our house from now on? Xiaoyan is abroad and Auntie will be lonely at home, so you can just stay and keep Auntie company."
Mo Yousen nodded gently in Pei Man's arms, crying silently.
