C270 Past
Tang Hedong was a person with a lot of goals. He knew that the only thing he could do was to enrich her own abilities, and be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Qin Fanglan.
In this process, Tang Hedong had completely gotten to know Qin Fanglan.
Although Qin Fanglan was very capable, she was very easy-going in private. Tang Hedong stopped Qin Fanglan at the end of her speech, expressing her admiration towards her and even asking to be friends with her.
Qin Fanglan did not refuse, but smiled and agreed, that smile was still remembered by the current Tang Hedong.
That was his first love, and was a woman that he would remember all his life. Even though he had very little contact with her, she was still his goal.
After that speech, Tang Hedong hadn't seen Qin Fanglan for a long time. He was focused on studying, preparing to graduate, and at the same time, she was trying to raise funds to start her own company. All of this was a challenge to Tang Hedong. However, their basic goal was to be able to be together with Qin Fanglan.
Tang Hedong had experienced failure before, but he was lucky. And Tang Yu's mother, Lin Xiuxian, was the same classmate who was starting a business with Tang Hedong at this time.
When it came to Lin Xiuxian, her family background was already very good, but she did not wish to rely on her family for her entire life. After knowing that Tang Hedong wanted to start a business, she decided to go with him.
She knew that Tang Hedong liked Qin Fanglan and had even been trying to help him pursue Qin Fanglan. However, at that time, Qin Fanglan still did not have much of an impression of him.
Tang Hedong felt that it was because she had too little assets that she was not valued highly. He continued to work hard.
He was very grateful to Lin Xiuxian for helping him, but he kept thinking about Qin Fanglan.
Tang Hedong's company had developed very quickly on Wall Street and quickly became a rising star. It was already an impressive thing to have millions in that era, but when Tang Hedong went to look for Qin Fanglan later on, she found out that Qin Fanglan was already getting married. That was the first time he mustered up her courage to look for Qin Fanglan.
"Mr. Tang, what are you looking for me for?"
There were no changes to Qin Fanglan's appearance. In fact, in Tang Hedong's eyes, he felt that the reason why Qin Fanglan looked the same was because of her eyes.
Qin Fanglan's eyes were very clear, or perhaps it could be said that she was very naive, and did not want to match the maturity of her outer appearance.
After obtaining a definite success, Tang Hedong spoke with more confidence than before, "Miss Qin, I heard that you want to marry someone?"
Qin Fanglan nodded her head, "I know a lot about the Mr. Tang, I am really getting married."
"Miss Qin, do you truly like that person?"
Qin Fanglan was startled by the question, but she had a good temper the entire time, "Of course I like it, marriage is not child's play, if you choose, you can't go back on your words."
"Miss Qin, I have expressed my opinion many times before, I .."
Qin Fanglan laughed, "Thank you Mr. Tang, this kind of thing cannot be forced, furthermore, we haven't known each other for long, you still don't understand me?"
After being rejected, Tang Hedong felt terrible, and continuously drank for a few days. After drinking too much, she became a little muddled, and because she was worried, she accompanied Tang Hedong.
The two of them had drunk too much, but unexpectedly, they ended up drinking.
When Tang Hedong woke up in the morning and found herself lying naked under the blanket with Lin Xiuxian, she felt her vision go black. He had never thought that such a thing would ever happen. It was simply unacceptable.
Lin Xiuxian was much calmer than Tang Hedong now. Although she could not remember what happened last night, but this kind of thing that looked like a girl suffering a loss was reversed here, turning into Lin Xiuxian consoling Tang Hedong.
"He Dong, there's no need to talk about our relationship. Just pretend that it never happened. I don't care. It's already this era, so you don't have to make such an expression."
Although Lin Xiuxian had said it, Tang Hedong could not think that way. Qin Fanglan had gotten married, and after thinking for a long time, it was only when Lin Xiuxian realized that she was pregnant.
Tang Hedong's expression back then was still remembered, but Tang Hedong knew very clearly that Lin Xiuxian really didn't have that kind of intention towards him at that time. Lin Xiuxian was an advanced female. However, contraceptives were not popular at that time. The two of them never expected that they would get pregnant after just one drunk accident.
Lin Xiuxian herself was a bit more carefree, and she was especially thin. In the first three months, she didn't have any problems with it, and she didn't even have the slightest bit of complaint that a normal person would have during pregnancy. Furthermore, Tang Hedong's company was still developing continuously. Lin Xiuxian and Tang Hedong had been so busy that there were no nights and no days.
Lin Xiuxian had also forgotten that she hadn't had anything to do in the past three months.
By the time they were completely busy, it had already been five months. At that time, Lin Xiuxian finally realized that something was amiss, that her stomach had gotten a lot fatter. She was still joking about how Tang Hedong had tired her out.
As a result, an accident occurred that night, and Lin Xiuxian suddenly fainted. After she was sent to the hospital and checked, Tang Hedong was scolded directly by the nurse.
At that time, Tang Hedong looked like she just ate shit. She pulled the nurse and asked repeatedly, "What do you think happened to Xiuxiu? She got pregnant?"
That nurse just happened to be a Chinese, she directly scolded Tang Hedong in Chinese, "Your girlfriend is already 5 months pregnant, but you don't even know, you really aren't a good man."
"Five months?" Counting the date, it was indeed when that accident happened between Lin Xiuxian and herself back then, she didn't expect that she would actually be pregnant.
When Lin Xiuxian woke up and found out about this, she didn't know how to describe her feelings for her.
It was not that she didn't like Tang Hedong, but it was that Tang Hedong was more like her brother. Yet, this story progressed so smoothly that it was even more wonderful than novels.
"Xiuxiu, we can't take this child."
However, when Tang Hedong said this, she was scolded by the Chinese nurse who came in. She probably meant that Lin Xiuxian was already 5 months pregnant, and it was too dangerous for him to give birth to a baby now. Tang Hedong was not a man, she would never take responsibility for things that she had done, causing Tang Hedong's face to go pale.
He still could not refute her, this kind of thing had always been for women to suffer losses since ancient times. Even if Xiu Xian did not mind, Tang Hedong herself still felt a little apologetic. At that time, Tang Hedong was conflicted for an entire night. In the end, she made up her mind that the woman she loved was already married to someone else, and although he was not sure if Xiushan would accept him, Tang Hedong decided to give it a try.
When Tang Hedong came in at night, Lin Xiuxian still wanted to comfort her with a few words, "He Dong, I really didn't expect that your health would be so good, it's practically .."
did not care about this kind of joke that they used to joke about often, but Tang Hedong even more so did not care.
"Xiu Xian, I actually want to tell you .."
"It's okay if I really can't get rid of the child. It's not like I can't raise a child by myself. Just treat us as a divorced couple. Look at you, all at a loss.
"That's not it, Xiu Xian. Are you willing to marry me?"
This time, Lin Xiuxian was completely stunned. Looking at this friend of her who had accompanied him through so many years of hardships, Lin Xiuxian really did not know what to say.
"He Dong, did you drink?"
"No, I'm very clear. I'm not using this child to force you. I just hope that you can make a choice. If you are willing, I will treat you well for the rest of my life."
"He Dong, I know you are feeling guilty, but you don't need to. I want to do this as well. I can't remember what happened that day, but I know I can't blame you, so you really don't need to .."
"Xiu Xian, are you going to reject me?"
"He Dong, have you really made up your mind?"
"Yes, I've thought about it."
Lin Xiuxian nodded and extended his hand, "Sure, bring it over then."
Tang Hedong was startled, "Bring what?"
Lin Xiuxian was speechless, "Oh ring, didn't you propose? If you don't have a ring, what are you going to propose to me? "
Tang Hedong immediately nodded her head and took out a small box from her pocket, "I was in a hurry, I might not look so good."
The style was very simple, it was the kind of ring that was very simple. The diamond on it was not very big, it was the ring that Lin Xiuxian liked. This was because a long time ago, when the two of them were going out shopping, Lin Xiuxian mentioned about it once, but never expected Tang Hedong to remember it.
To the two of them, what they understood each other the best was each other. It was just that after so many years of friendship, they were really too familiar with each other. Many of the romantic things that could have been done could only become normal.
Lin Xiuxian reached out her hand and brought the storage ring back to her. After leaving the hospital, the two of them got married. Tang Hedong decided to transfer the assets back to her home country and live there with Lin Xiuxian. In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years had passed.
And now, his son was already so old, yet he was met with the same situation he was in all those years ago. He could only beg for a favor if he liked a girl. The man who stole the girl his son liked was actually the son of his rival.
Tang Hedong knew that the current Qin Fanglan was not doing well. However, it was true that he still reminisced about those years. This time, he was very serious. He didn't want his son to be like him.
He hoped that Tang Yu would be able to pursue the person he liked, and not be like him who couldn't.
Although many years had passed, Tang Hedong's life was still very beautiful, and Lin Xiuxian herself was very meticulous. All these years, she had always been helping Tang Hedong manage the house's internal and external affairs without any mishap.
The person Tang Hedong was most thankful to in this life, was Lin Xiuxian.
Tang Yu looked at the recent company statement in her room, but her father's words still lingered in her mind. Maybe it was time she let go of Xiao Xiao's happiness, and it was enough to see that she did not have to obtain her.
At the bar, Bei La was drinking one cup after another. Her appearance was extremely attractive, and there were some people around who had noticed her.
