Cao Aiqing had never seen He Tianran be so nervous about anyone.
Yes, including when he broke up with himself and left Wenliang, he faced collapse after the timeline was restarted...
Regarding these, He Tianran showed more of a kind of sadness, melancholy, and a kind of self-burning in his heart after making a decision.
However, even if he was reluctant to let go of all these things, he had a reason to comfort himself after all.
But this time, Cao Aiqing saw a different emotion on He Tianran's face...
At this moment, this man seemed to have taken off the sadness that always accompanies him like a martyr. He no longer stood on a high place with pity on his face. He became irritable and impulsive. After he recovered, he said angrily. Then He Panshan yelled, saying why he didn't tell him earlier, why did He Yuanchong make Wang Ma so angry that he was hospitalized? It was a huge failure of the family!
His roar at He Panshan came so suddenly, and the scolding shocked He Yuanchong, Tao Wei's mother and son, who had been waiting not far away, and rushed over.
Except for He Panshan, no one else could understand why He Tianran was so excited, but as the head of the family, his father could not let his son's emotions explode like this in front of outsiders and family members.
"Naturally, please calm down. What do you look like now? Wang Ma's heart problem is not something that happened in a day or two. She is now out of the dangerous period and her condition has stabilized. What's the use of you getting angry now? ? I don’t usually see you paying more attention to me.”
He Panshan said with a frown.
"Yes, naturally, Butler Wang has someone taking care of him now, so don't worry."
Tao Wei also echoed, but there was a bit of embarrassment on her face and her tone was a bit stiff. Just now, He Tianran's scolding of her son really made her a little uneasy.
Naturally, He Tianran couldn't listen to the comfort and explanation now. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at He Yuanchong who was rushing over. He went up and grabbed the other person's neck. His eyes were about to burst, and he spat out angrily:
"You idiot, if you have any dissatisfaction, come at me! You like being a son, don't you? You like to argue, don't you? If you dare to hurt other people again, I'll see if I don't kill you!"
Everyone was shocked by He Tianran's burst of anger. He Yuanchong was so pinched that he rolled his eyes out and made a whining sound from his throat!
The two women screamed in surprise. He Panshan took a long step and separated the two of them. He grabbed He Tianran's back collar and angrily said:
"Of course you are crazy?! He is your brother! He is your family member! What are you doing? Do you want to kill him?"
He Tianran was thrown away by his father and took two steps back. His eyes were red and he seemed to be able to spew out boundless anger:
"That's your He Panshan's family! Not mine! Whose brother would secretly frame his own family? Who cares so much about treating them as family..."
"Snapped--!"
A clear crisp sound instantly silenced the entire scene...
He Panshan's slap left five red finger marks on He Tianran's cheek, which turned his head away. The other three people were frightened by this scene and gasped.
"I'll tell you again He Tianran, Tao Wei is now your mother, and Yuan Chong is now your brother. Whether you like it or not, they are your family!"
He Panshan had a sullen face and a low voice, so strong that it was suffocating. However, Cao Aiqing behind him noticed that this man who was in charge of such a big business and had always been as calm as a mountain had just hit his son's right hand and was getting slightly angry. Shaking.
But at this moment, the son, who had been being held down by his father to teach him how to do things, slowly turned his head. The slap on the face just now caused his teeth to break the flesh wall in his mouth, but even though the space between his teeth was completely It was blood. Even though he knew that what he said next might not end well, he still stubbornly retorted and said:
"Dad...I'll tell you again, they are not my family. In my heart, they are not even as good as 'Steward Wang', an outsider. They are my family!"
"you--!"
"Panshan..."
"uncle!"
He Tianran's words fell to the ground, and He Panshan prepared to fight again. Tao Wei and Cao Aiqing stepped forward to stop him. He Yuanchong wanted to step forward and pull He Tianran away, but then he was glared back.
The frustrated man glanced coldly around the place he called "home" and suddenly asked Tao Wei:
"Aunt Tao, this happened to Yuan Chong, and he still had you as a shield. Even if he made a huge mistake, you would still be there to help him, but what if this happened to me? Who can be my shield...? I just hope that you, mother and son, don't take the opportunity to step on me."
"Xiao Tianran, you..."
Tao Wei, who pulled He Panshan, didn't know what to say for a moment. No woman in this world would be willing to be someone else's stepmother. Even if He Panshan could accept He Yuanchong, there was still some separation in her heart. So in this situation, Tao Wei, as a biological mother, must be on He Yuanchong's side.
However, as the head of the family, He Panshan maintains the stability of the family, so naturally he will not be too partial to He Tianran, not to mention that his biological son's previous personality was still like that...
So in this state, He naturally became the most embarrassing one in the family over time...
But none of them expected that He Tianran would turn the situation into what it is now because of a servant at home...
This can be regarded as completely exposing the most sensitive issue in this family to the sun.
After He Tianran said those words, he walked away. He Panshan seemed to have aged ten years for a moment, and his raised hand dropped weakly...
"Uncle, I...I'm going to follow Tian Tian..."
Cao Aiqing left a message, and He Panshan sighed, nodded, and told her the address of the hospital where Wang Ma was located. The girl quickly ran towards He Tianran's back.
…
…
When Cao Aiqing caught up with He Tianran, the man was sitting in a BMW, dazed with the steering wheel in his hand.
His body was swaying slightly, just like He Panshan's hand just now, his eyes were dull and unfocused, and he just sat in the driver's seat in a daze.
Maybe neither father and son wanted to really face the scene just now...
Cao Aiqing thought so in her heart.
She knocked on the car window, and the people in the car looked at her absentmindedly.
"Let me drive, I know the place."
"Um……"
The car door opened, He Tianran moved to the passenger seat, Cao Aiqing got into the car, started the car, and slowly drove out of this bustling Nanshan land.
"Drive faster."
He Tianran murmured softly.
Cao Aiqing did not listen to his words, but walked steadily on the road.
"Uncle He said that Mother Wang is fine. You don't have to race against time. Take care of yourself before meeting important people, otherwise it will only make them more worried..."
"……I know."
His final voice was inaudible.
In the rearview mirror in the center of the car, Cao Aiqing's gaze was reflected slightly tilted towards the people around him.
"Why are you so angry?"
"Because if you think about it carefully, this is the closest I have ever been to the death of a loved one..."
"..."
He Tianran frowned, as if suppressing some emotion, and said as if talking to himself:
"It seems a bit redundant to mention the word 'death' in this hell, but except for us, everyone in this world is so real that their respective lives will be repeated before our eyes. It’s the same, and I can’t change anything…”
"Didn't the compensation you asked Uncle He for me today change my future?"
Cao Aiqing comforted.
He Tianran shook his head:
"This is different, I can only change the fate of two people, one is Wenliang, the other is you...
When Wen Liang was still there, I often reminded Wang Ma to take care of her health, but maybe it was because my career and love went smoothly in that timeline. After that family dinner, my father’s attitude towards me also changed a lot. To improve, I am in the film school and He Yuanchong is in the University of Hong Kong. We usually don’t have much intersection, so we have always been in peace.
But after A Liang was freed from all this, the world returned to its original state, and the cause and effect of time seemed to return to its original track. I was admitted to the University of Hong Kong, and became the shy and introverted He Tianran again. I usually neglected to follow him. Family members contacted each other, which is why today’s scene happened…”
Cao Aiqing was silent after hearing this.
The cause and effect between them affects the whole body.
"When I was arguing with my dad just now, I seemed to remember a little memory of my future family."
He Tianran said calmly after his mood gradually calmed down.
"What memory? Didn't you fulfill your long-cherished wish once? You should have forgotten it long ago..."
"Maybe it's because I'm still in this 'world'? I don't know. In fact, this is not the first time. When Xue Yong and I were hospitalized after a fight, when Ma Wang came to take care of me, she happened to have a heart attack. , maybe this familiar scene brought back my memory, just like this time... I... once remembered that I had a big fight with my father at her funeral..."
"……funeral?"
"Well..." He Tianran nodded: "I think this may be a turning point in my life. As I just said, if it develops according to the original timeline, I am the one who planned your online violence. I can think of the only person in the family who The only person who can plead for mercy is Wang Ma, but in this case, the impact on her will only be greater..."
Cao Aiqing thought about it: "So in the future, you will completely sever ties with your father, most likely at the funeral of this Queen Mother? In fact, through your behavior today, I have gradually understood it. See Come on, the position of this Queen Mother in your heart is really important..."
He Tianran laughed at himself, "On the contrary, in fact, I often ignore this relative around me..."
The man leaned his head against the car window. The rearview mirror outside the window reflected his slightly thin and pale face. He fell into memories and said:
"Maybe it's because Wang Ma is not my mother, nor my father, nor a relative, nor is she related by blood. To put it bluntly, she is a hired worker in my family, an elder with no relationship, so I always get along with her. There is a trace of estrangement...
But Wang Ma has watched me grow up since I was a child. She is the person I rely on the most in this family. I don’t know if only people who are related by blood can be called ‘relatives’, but I am very fond of ‘relatives’. The definition of "Wang Ma" has long been like that of Wang Ma...
However, like most people, I always hope that someone will love me, but I often ignore the love of my relatives and take it for granted, so I forget about it. The older I get, the more it becomes...
Actually think about it, when I had a falling out with my father, she gave me a sum of money so that I could take art exam training, so that I could pay the rent, so that I could spend my senior year in high school safely, and that I Being able to pay for film school tuition allowed me to meet Wen Liang again in military training...
All of this was given to me by her, but it was all covered up by the normality between relatives...
When I accidentally remembered, I wanted to change her fate, but she was not a person in reincarnation. I didn't know how to save her. Although the memories of the past were still in my mind, the things I had done Try hard, no one knows anymore..."
After He Tianran said this, his whole body became visibly depressed.
Life is like this, life is like this, there are always people going to life, and there are always people going to death.
"I know."
In the silent carriage, a girl comforted the depressed man with a firm tone.
…
…
The hospital where Wang Ma is staying is not far away, and it takes less than fifteen minutes to drive there.
This is a private hospital with top-notch doctors, equipment, and convalescence environment. It can be seen that He Panshan really takes good care of this "veteran" of the He family.
When He and Cao arrived at Wang Ma's ward, the nurse was finishing her examination.
As soon as the door opened, He Tianran saw the housekeeper who had taken care of him for more than ten years. She was weak and pale, and his eyes suddenly became astringent.
When the middle-aged woman whose full name was Wang Zhaodi heard the movement at the door, she turned her head and looked overjoyed.
"Ah, Xiao Tianran, why are you here?"
She was about to get up, but He Tianran stepped up and held her down instantly.
"Wang Ma, don't get up, don't get up..."
He Tianran's heart finally sank when he saw that although Wang Ma looked bad, she was still in good health.
But his heartstrings were so relaxed that the tears in his eyes fell unconsciously. It wasn't until the middle-aged woman stretched out her hand to wipe him away that the man realized in surprise...
At this moment, He Tianran felt that being alive was already the luckiest thing in the world...
"Did your father tell you about me?"
The middle-aged woman touched He Tianran's head and said softly.
"Um……"
"Oh, I asked him not to tell you, so as not to affect your study and mood at school..."
He Tianran stretched out his sleeves, wiped away his tears and said, "Why don't you delay this? I went back home today, and when I saw you weren't here, I definitely had to ask..."
Wang Ma sighed and asked worriedly:
"Then when you go home this time, have your father, your brother, and your stepmother properly apologized to you? Your child has a weak temper and won't say anything when something happens. You are responsible for this matter! But you can't Just muddle through, you know? If you swallow your anger this time, your brother will bully you next time, do you know, Xiao Tianran..."
Sometimes, the concern of a close person can really make people cry...
"Yeah. I know."
"Oh, it's a pity. You like that girl named Xiao Cao so much, and your brother messed with you like that. I don't know if you two can still be friends in the future..."
Thinking of this incident, the middle-aged woman still felt a little emotional. In the past, He Tianran would tell her everything, but the one the child talked about the most was a little girl named Cao Aiqing. He Tianran even showed her some of them. Pictures of friends getting together and having fun.
Wang Zhaodi, who has watched He Tianran grow up since childhood, feels like a mirror to this kind of teenage mentality. But now that He Yuanchong has interfered with it, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the two of them to develop in the future.
How can any brother persecute his brother's marriage?
Thinking of this incident, Wang Zhaodi's heart still ached. He Yuanchong's behavior was lacking in virtue in their hometown.
And just when she was feeling regretful, she heard Xiao Tianran say:
"Wang Ma, you don't have to worry about us, she's here too this time."
Outside the door, Cao Aiqing, who was following him, stuck out his little head...
