Chapter 24 Leaving the Tang Family
"Big brother, let's talk this through, Tang Shuai is still young." After all, she still dotes on Tang Ruan. And hearing Tang Yong call someone a beast every time he opens his mouth, she couldn't take it anymore.
"You're still young? You're already 22 years old! I was a father at 22!" Tang Yong said angrily.
"What's the result? Now his wife is sleeping with another man, and his daughter calls another man dad." Tang Shuai interrupted. He didn't know what made Tang Yong so proud of himself, if he were Tang Yong, he wouldn't have the face to stay in this family.
"Get out... get out of the Tang family."
"Big brother, although Tang Shuai beat Ye Zhen Dong, I don't think he was wrong." Just then, Tang Tian, who had been silent all along, couldn't bear it anymore. He hadn't spoken up because he respected this big brother, but unexpectedly, Tang Yong really went too far. He kept scolding and cursing Tang Shuai, telling him to get out and putting his own father in a difficult position.
"What did you say? He's not wrong? The Ye family is now asking us to give an explanation, do you know that if we offend the Ye family, we will have a good outcome?" Looking at Tang Yong like this, he was already scared by the Ye family. Just like before being scared by Zhang Dong, such a guy would never be able to make it in life.
"I think that as a man, if he can't even protect his own woman and just stands by idly, then he's not worthy of being a man. Jingjing is his wife, and if he lets her get hurt because he's afraid of the Ye family, I, Tang Tian, won't acknowledge this useless son of mine. Big brother, Tang Shuai is my son, how to educate him is something I know, don't you worry about it."
Tang Shuai thinks that he, this cheap old dad, is quite manly today. But now, Tang Yong has an awkward face. From the current situation, it can be seen that before Tang Shuai returned, Li Jingjing had already explained the reason to them. It's just that Tang Yong doesn't care about any reason, in his eyes, the Ye family is more powerful than you, and whatever they do is justified.
"Tang Tian, if the old man who is cultivating on the mountain finds out about this matter, do you know the consequences? Alright, I've said my part, I won't interfere anymore. But the Ye family has to take responsibility for this, you handle it yourself." Tang Yong said.
"The Ye family isn't going to settle accounts? I left the Tang family, and you all said I was kicked out of the Tang family." Tang Shuai said. Originally, he had planned to wait two more days before leaving, but now it seemed that staying in the Tang family any longer was not possible. So, he decided to leave now, return to Province B, find Xiao Meng, and figure out the truth behind what happened. He didn't want to die without knowing the truth, even though he was still alive. But he was no longer himself, living on with a different identity. As for his former self, in other people's eyes, he had already died.
"Little Shuai, what are you saying? Where are you going? This isn't your fault, you're not wrong, it's just that the Ye family is being too excessive." Seeing Tang Shuai seemingly serious, Tang suddenly hurriedly pulled him back.
"Mom, I've grown up already. Actually, I had planned to go out and make a name for myself long ago. Now is also a good opportunity, don't worry, I will take good care of myself outside. I won't starve or freeze." Tang Shuai said.
"But..."
"Let him go." Tang suddenly wanted to say something, but Tang Tian had already spoken.
"But he has never left our side."
"So he should be let go."
"Dad, thanks, I'm going to pack up." With that, Tang Shuai went upstairs.
He said he was going to collect his things, but he also felt that there was nothing worth collecting. It's too much trouble to bring a change of clothes, forget it, let's just go.
Just then, the door was pushed open and Li Jingjing walked in, silently packing her things.
"What are you doing?" Tang Shuai asked.
"You're leaving, how can I still stay in the Tang family? I'll go with you." Lí Jīng replied.
"But I'm going to Province B."
When Tang Shuai said that, Li Jingjing hesitated. If it was just in Tianhai City, it didn't matter, she could follow Tang Shuai. But Tang Shuai wanted to leave Tianhai City, and even leave S Province. Here, she had her friends and relatives, although her uncle's family had been very unreasonable, but after all, they were her only relatives. To say that leaving S Province was something she really couldn't do.
If it's with the man she loves, that's also acceptable. But as for Tang Shuai, now she can only say that she doesn't dislike him as much as before. She has no feelings for him, not even a little bit of liking. So, to give up her family and friends here and go far away with him, she still can't do it.
"Wife, this is the last time I'll call you wife. I know you hate me, and I know I've been too much to bear. Go get a divorce tomorrow, it won't delay anything for you. Here, take this as some compensation." Tang Shuai said, handing his bank card to Li Juanjuan. With that, Tang Shuai probably only had a few hundred yuan in cash left on him.
"I don't want it."
"Here you go, the password is your birthday."
"My birthday?" Ling Jing was surprised.
"Right, your birthday," said Tang Shuai. In fact, he had planned to leave early and also planned to give the money to Li Juanjuan, so in the afternoon, he changed the password to Li Juanjuan's birthday.
"I'm leaving, I'll wait for you at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow morning." After saying that, Tang Shuai didn't even wait for Li Jingjing to respond and gave her a hug, whispering in her ear: "Wish you happiness." Then he stood up and left the room.
"Follow me." Just as they walked out of the room, they bumped into Tang Tian who was waiting outside. Tang Tian's face was gloomy, and he led Tang Shuai into his study.
"Have you really made up your mind?" Tang Tian came to the study, locked the door, and looked at Tang Shuai, asking seriously.
"Yes."
"Where are you going?"
Province B.
"How much money?"
It seems that Tang Tian is still worried about Tang Shuai, afraid that he won't have enough money after going out.
Tang Shuai held up one finger.
"One million?"
Tang Shuai shook his head.
"Ten million?" Tang Tian's eyebrows were already furrowed. If Commander Tang wanted one million, it could be given, but if he wanted ten million, it was somewhat unacceptable.
"One dollar."
"What? One yuan?" Tang Tian couldn't believe his ears. He knew this son of his all too well, if you told him to take money, he would snatch every last bill from your wallet. But today, something was off.
"Dad, I also know that over the years I've caused you and mom a lot of heartache. But I want to tell you, your son is not a waste. This time I leave, I only need one dollar, when I come back home next time, this one dollar will be turned into one hundred million." Tang Shuai said.
Tang Tian listened and, for the first time, a hint of a comforting smile appeared on his face. Although it was unrealistic to turn this into a hundred million, the fact that his son could say such things was also a change. Perhaps he should have let him go out and experience the world earlier, who knows what unexpected surprises might come.
