Chapter Ten: The Powerful Tang Family
A group of four people walked straight to a majestic black Red Flag car in the parking lot, and a young colonel wearing a military uniform with two epaulets on his shoulders first saluted Tang Weiguo and then opened the door voluntarily.
Mo Shaokun's pupils contracted slightly, although he could sense that the Tang family was not simple from Qin Xuan and Tang Yurou, but he didn't expect it to be extraordinary to such an extent!
It's enough to make a senior colonel act as a driver, and the attitude is so respectful, the implication is self-evident, not to mention this car with a special license plate, just this car is the supreme symbol of identity.
"Brother Wang, it's been a while since we last met, and you're getting more handsome by the day!" Qin Xuan very naturally gave up the back seat to her mother, younger uncle, and Mo Shaokun, while she herself directly got into the front passenger seat. Looking at the colonel driver, there was a hint of teasing on her face as she said...
The principal looked honest at first glance, and when he heard Qin's words, his old face turned red with a smile, but he didn't know how to respond. Fortunately, Tang Yurou helped him out of the awkward situation.
"Xiao Wang, go directly to the sanatorium."
"Yes! Commander!"
Tang Weiguo quietly looked at Mo Shaokun sitting in the middle, anyone could see the uncontrollable excitement and joy in his eyes.
Mo Shaokun, on the other hand, seemed very uncomfortable. He leaned towards Tang Yurou and kept a certain distance from Tang Weiguo, his eyes fixed straight ahead, neither daring nor willing to look at Tang Weiguo.
"Defending the country, how's Father doing?" Tang Yurou asked.
Tang Weiguo sighed and shook his head, "It's not good. Since the night before last when he fainted, he hasn't woken up until now. Professor Mu said that the tumor in Dad's brain has already compressed the nerves. If we operate immediately, there might still be a glimmer of hope, but the risk is very high."
Tang Yurou's expression was dismal, but in fact, she had been mainly taking care of the old man after he was diagnosed with a brain tumor several years ago, and had even wanted to donate her own body for his surgery, only unfortunately neither the old man nor her elder brother agreed.
"Sister, where's Hong Yue? Can you tell me now?" Tang Weiguo looked at his sister with expectant eyes.
Tang Yuru sighed and said: "Hong Yue passed away, she passed away 18 years ago."
"What?!"" Tang Weiguo's eyes widened in shock, and he immediately shook his head while saying: "Impossible! Are you trying to trick me? Is it that Hongyue has a new family now and you're afraid of hurting me so you're saying this? It doesn't matter, as long as Hongyue is fine, nothing else matters."
"For the sake of our country, I didn't deceive you, Hongyue had a difficult labor when she gave birth to Shao Kun that year."
Tang Weiguo only felt a blackness in front of his eyes, and he slumped back against the backrest, his soul lost. How could this be? Why was it like this?! Eighteen years of waiting, only to receive news that his loved one had long since passed away!
Two lines of clear tears rolled down Tang Weiguo's eyes, and this forty-year-old man burst into loud sobs in front of everyone.
Mo Shaokun finally turned his head slowly, and his eyes looking at Tang Weiguo had a sense of relief as well as a hint of complexity.
It's comforting to see that Tang Weiguo is genuinely emotional, he's happy for his mother, and it's enough to make a man stand by her for 18 years without wavering, surely the mother in heaven can rest in peace.
It's complicated, because the more Tang Weiguo is like this, the more Mo Shao Kun's heart is tangled. He even secretly hopes that Tang Weiguo can be a bit more ruthless and cold-blooded, at least that way he will have enough reason to convince himself not to care about the Tang family.
"Defend the country, don't be too sad, although Red Moon has left, she gave birth to a child for you."
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault!!! If I hadn't been so busy with work during that time, if I could have spent more time accompanying her, maybe she wouldn't have left." Tang Weiguo sobbed uncontrollably, and even Mo Shaokun beside him quietly wiped away his tears.
"The deceased is gone, the living are what's most important. You should thank Hong Yue, she left her hometown for the sake of the Tang family and also gave birth to this good child, Shao Kun." Tang Yuju handed a handkerchief to her brother to comfort him.
"Yes, Little Brother-in-law, Shao Kun is excellent. He was raised by an old lady since he was a child, and after the old lady passed away, he became even more independent, yet he still managed to be one of the top students every year, not only winning numerous awards but also getting accepted into Anping University with a full scholarship early on. You should feel proud that Hong Yue left you such a great son."
Qin Xuan couldn't help but turn her head and comfort him together, she apologetically glanced at Mo Shaokun, in order to let Uncle no longer be sad because of Hong Yue's departure, she could only temporarily shift the focus to Mo Shaokun.
Mo Shaokun felt a bit depressed, why was his academic performance so good? It's because since he was a child, he was bullied by other kids! Since childhood, no kid wanted to play with him! He could only spend all his time studying!
Of course, he wouldn't say these things because he felt no need to tell others about his own affairs and didn't want people's sympathy.
But how did Qin Chen know all this? He looked at Qin Chen with some suspicion.
Unfortunately, Qin Xuan still underestimated Xiao Shu's feelings for his aunt. Tang Weiguo sat blankly, staring off into space, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The atmosphere in the car became somewhat silent for a while.
Fortunately, this section of the road eventually came to an end, and after about 40 minutes or so, the car slowly entered a small path through the woods.
This small road looks ordinary, but it has many checkpoints. Within a short distance of several hundred meters, I saw at least seven or eight guard posts.
A building with an antique style appeared at the end of the path, this was the famous Qing Shan Sanatorium, only top-notch big shots were qualified to stay here, of course, Mo Shaokun didn't know these things, at least not for now.
"Hello, boss!"
Four people got off the car, and the soldiers standing guard at the gate of the courtyard stood up straight and saluted when they saw Tang Weiguo.
Tang Weiguo nodded at them and led the three people directly into one of the small buildings in the innermost row.
"Sister, defend the country, Qinqin."
In front of the building, a middle-aged man wearing a military uniform and bearing a six-point resemblance to Tang Weiguo was talking to an old doctor in a white coat. Seeing Tang Weiguo's arrival, he forced a smile and waved hello.
"My second uncle is good."
"How's the situation with protecting the country?" Tang Yurou asked her brother, but her eyes were fixed on the seemingly aged old doctor.
"Professor Mu, would you mind telling my sister again?" Tang Baoguo said to the doctor.
Professor Mu nodded and pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, saying: "The tumor in Tang's brain has already shown signs of deterioration and has compressed the central nervous system. If we don't take effective measures soon, he may only have half a year left at most, and no one knows if he'll still be able to wake up."
Tang Yurou's face changed, and just as she was about to say something, Tang Baoguo gave her a signal with his eyes and said, "Sister, let's go inside and talk."
The small building is not large, and only one patient, Mr. Tang, lives in the separate house inside the separate courtyard. Except for two medical staff who are on duty 24 hours a day, only members of the Tang family can enter this small building, even doctors need to get permission from the Tang family before entering.
A group of people arrived at the rest area on the second floor. Tang Baoguo did not rush to say anything, but instead looked at Mo Shaokun with some surprise.
"Qin Qin, you take Shao Kun next door to rest for a while." Tang Yu Ru said.
Qin Xuan didn't say anything, she was very clear that some things were not for their younger generation to get involved in.
Mo Shaokun had no opinion on this, and instead he let out a long sigh of relief in his heart. If he had to stay here all the time, it would be even more uncomfortable for him. However, Tang Baoguo's appearance made him feel quite shocked, and the two shining general stars on his shoulders were so dazzling!
Although he had already positioned Tang's family very high in his heart, at this moment he found that he still underestimated Tang's family!
"Who is that young man? How did you bring him here?" As soon as the two juniors left, Tang Baoguo immediately said with some dissatisfaction. The fact that Old Master Tang was hospitalized for treatment was highly confidential and only a handful of top leaders knew about it. If this news were to leak out, the consequences would be unthinkable.
"Don't mind who he is for now, I'm asking you, what are you planning to do?" Tang Yurou furrowed her brow and sternly asked her younger brother.
"What else can we do? Now it's just a matter of dragging on one more day at a time."
"What? Didn't you hear what Old Mu said? In Father's condition, he can last at most half a year! But if he undergoes surgery, there is still some hope." Tang Yurou said.
"We can't afford to gamble with the Tang family! Now we can only think of a way to take advantage of the old man's presence and push our big brother up. Once the old man is gone, it will be even more difficult for our big brother to get to that position."
"Superior, superior!!! All you know is superiority! What time is it now? Can't father's life be compared to your position?" Tang Yuru was furious, suddenly standing up and pointing at her brother's nose loudly.
"Sister, don't get agitated. I also agree with your idea, as children who doesn't want their parents to be well? But this is Dad's last order before he fell into a coma, what can we do?" Tang Baoguo explained.
"Isn't your father doing all this for you few? If you had a bit of conscience, you shouldn't let him use his own life to pave the way for you!"
