Chapter 116 The Past of Tang Yaqing's Father
"Your daughter? In our Tang family, there is only one named Tang, not Ai!"
Seeing that the current situation was a bit tense, Duan Ming couldn't help feeling embarrassed as he was caught between the Tang family leader and Ai Xiaoxing.
"Grandpa, I once had an appointment with the chairman, and this time I returned to Dixing to reach cooperation with Xingya Group. You see..."
Duan Ming did not say anything else. With the experience of the Tang family leader, how could he not see that Duan Ming wanted to be a peacemaker? He still wants to sell the face of his grandson-in-law.
Standing up from the sofa, the head of the Tang family walked out of the villa and said.
"That's all. The older you get, the worse your bones become. I'll go out for a couple of walks."
Watching the Tang family head leave the villa, Duan Ming and Ai Xiaoxing were the only two people left in the living room.
"Are you confused as to why the relationship between me and dad...the head of the Tang family is so tense?"
Duan Ming would not take the initiative to ask about matters between elders, but Ai Xiaoxing obviously wanted to find someone to talk to, and Duan Ming didn't mind being the listener.
"Twenty years ago, when Yaqing and I were the same age now, Yaqing's father and I fell in love at first sight. It just happened to be a coincidence. At that time, her father was also attracting the attention of all forces like you are now."
This is the first time Duan Ming has heard of Tang Yaqing's father.
"As the legitimate son of the Tang family, Yaqing's father is the one with the strongest superpower among the three sons of the Tang family. At that time, he dared to face several fleets alone. He was a hero in my eyes."
Speaking of this, Duan Ming saw the same light flashing through Ai Xiaoxing's eyes as when Tang Yaqing looked at him.
"Of course, I married Yaqing's father and gave birth to Yaqing. I also relied on my connections with the Tang family to join the Xingya Group. It's been twenty years!"
"Since then, Yaqing's father and I have become a couple who spends little time together and often separates. Yaqing's father is always flying around in space to fight against injustices for civilians and small families. In the eyes of most people, He is a hero who eliminates evil and promotes good. Wherever there is injustice, he will appear. "
"But he doesn't understand one thing. This world is still a world of power after all. His actions have touched the interests of the big family, and the Earth Alliance has also had a headache because of this."
Hearing this, Duan Ming was startled, and Ai Xiaoxing smiled helplessly.
"What? Doesn't it sound similar to you now? This is also the main reason why I objected to you and Yaqing being together at the beginning. You and Yaqing's father back then walked the same path!"
Duan Ming couldn't help but ask: "What happened to uncle then?"
"Having stood in the way of the interests of the big family and the Earth Alliance, they naturally had to remove the obstacles. In the process, two parties were involved, the Alliance of Superpowers to which the Earth Alliance belongs, and the Xingya Group."
The death of Tang Yaqing's father was actually related to Xingya Group! It's no wonder that the head of the Tang family has this attitude towards Ai Xiaoxing!
"Back then, I overheard the group's senior management's plan to get rid of Yaqing's father, and I told him all this immediately, but neither he nor I knew that I was asked to inform him of the plan. This is the real conspiracy of the Ground Alliance!”
"The Earth Alliance confirmed his location based on my phone call with him, and sent superpowers from the Alliance of Superpowers to kill him on the way back to Earth. But in front of me at that time, there was only Two options.”
"Either leave the Xingya Group and return to the Tang family to accompany Yaqing to grow up. But for the death of Yaqing's father, Dilian shamelessly blamed me, claiming that I got rid of Yaqing's father for Dilian!"
Considering that Tang Yaqing's father's last phone call before his death was indeed with Ai Xiaoxing, she couldn't argue with this.
"Or, stay in the Xingya Group and wait for the day when you can avenge Yaqing's father!"
Obviously, Ai Xiaoxing chose the latter.
"You also know what happened next. Now in the Tang family, I am the evil person who caused the death of my husband and abandoned my daughter!"
Duan Ming admires how a woman, a woman who has suffered so much grievance, can reach today step by step on her own.
"Twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye. What's the use of talking about these past events? Now, I just hope that Yaqing can be happy. As for the hatred, I can bear it alone."
The moment Ai Xiaoxing finished speaking, a voice sounded not far behind her.
"What you said...is all true?"
Ai Xiaoxing was startled and turned around suddenly. Standing there was Tang Chen with his head lowered and his fists clenched.
In fact, Duan Ming had already discovered Tang Chen's arrival, but did not warn him, just so that someone in the Tang family could hear the truth about this past incident.
Tang Chen walked slowly to Ai Xiaoxing.
"Why have you never explained all this to my Tang family after so many years?"
Tears had already slipped down Ai Xiaoxing's cheeks, and she smiled self-deprecatingly.
"I have an unshirkable responsibility for his death. If I hadn't fallen into the trap of the Ground Alliance, his position would not have been exposed, and nothing would have happened to him. I deserve all this."
"Mom! Why didn't you wake me up when you came?"
Tang Yaqing's voice came from the stairs, and Ai Xiaoxing quickly turned away and wiped her tears.
Tang Yaqing walked to Ai Xiaoxing and saw the tears on her mother's face. She couldn't help but ask, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Ai Xiaoxing shook her head and raised her hand to gently stroke Tang Yaqing's hair.
"Knowing that your daughter is getting married, my mother is happy for you!"
Tang Chen and Duan Ming both tacitly chose not to tell Tang Yaqing about the past. They were all Tang Yaqing's closest relatives and only hoped that Tang Yaqing could live a carefree life. Just like Ai Xiaoxing said, let them bear the hatred!
The door of the villa was pushed open, and the head of the Tang family walked in from outside. Ai Xiaoxing said to Duan Ming.
"Tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock, there will be a high-level meeting of Xingya Group to discuss the choice of the seventh district branch. Don't be late."
After that, Ai Xiaoxing walked out of the villa.
When passing by the head of the Tang family, the head of the Tang family spoke to Tang Chen.
"Chen'er, go and ask the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes at noon. Remember to tell them not to put spicy food. Your sister-in-law has a bad throat and can't eat it."
Ai Xiaoxing's footsteps paused. How could she not understand that what she said just now was also heard clearly by the head of the Tang family.
The reason why Tang Chen eavesdropped in the dark was also because of the head of the Tang family's intention. Through the headphones, the head of the Tang family also knew the truth of the year.
He raised his hand and gently patted Ai Xiaoxing on the shoulder.
"Xing'er, you have suffered so much over the years!"
Ai Xiaoxing's tears flowed again. She turned around and knelt on the ground, hugging the legs of the head of the Tang family with both hands, and finally shouted the words she had always wanted to shout but had never shouted.
"Dad!"
