Chapter 856: Finally Back
t touch me like that..."“It doesn't matter who initiates things, whether it's the conqueror or the conquered. The order of their actions isn't important. Even if the conquered makes the first move, it...Later, the other members of the Tang family, after learning from Tang Moqing about why Lu Yin didn't bring He Li, stopped mentioning her and warmly welcomed Lu Yin to their home for the New Year.
Lu Yin watched as Mr. Tang appeared to be in good spirits and very healthy. This eased his worries considerably.
At the same time, my feelings are also complicated.
Finally, I'm back.
... but it was the identity of another person who returned.
……
Late afternoon.
Lu Yin's luggage was delivered to the Tang family by a delivery person.
He didn't pack much for himself in his suitcase, but he brought a lot of presents for the two little ones. Even Xiao Ya Bai’s belly, the two unborn babies, had gifts.
It was a garment he designed himself, with a novel and unique style, bearing the mark of T family.
Xiao Nuan and the Tang An family returned to her parents' house after dinner.
As soon as he saw Lu Yin, he pestered her with questions about why Holly hadn't come.
Lu Yin couldn't bear to tell Xiao Mengbao that Holly wouldn't be coming back, afraid of upsetting her. He could only lie and say that Holly had something important to do.
Seeing the little darling about to cry, Lu Yin quickly diverted her attention, saying that those clothes were made for her by Hely.
Xiao Nuan Nuan, upon hearing this, immediately burst into laughter and ran to see the new clothes.
Perhaps because of Lu Yin's arrival, that night, the whole Tang family gathered in the hall to chat. They talked about Kr·C International's situation this year, or about Tang Yu Cheng's work after being transferred back to Beisi City. They would also ask Lu Yin about T·Family's future development and so on.
In a nutshell, it's just casual conversation about anything and everything.
Often, Lu Yin would just sit quietly on the side, not saying much. When it came to Kr·C International, he would chime in with a few words; but when talking about Tang Yucheng's work, he would listen silently without offering any opinion.
The rest of the Tang family thought Lu Yin probably didn't understand Tang Yucheng's field of work, so they didn't say anything.
Tang Moqing and Tang Yucheng knew very well that Lu Yin's cold attitude towards Tang Yucheng was most likely related to Si Xiu.
Since he couldn't find any information about the relationship between Lu Yin and Tang Si Xiu several times, Tang Mo Qing had stopped putting too much energy into it.
He felt that Lu Yin deliberately proposed to buy his older brother's house, just to intentionally draw their attention.
If Sxiu is still alive, it will appear someday.
Li Yin didn't bring any clothes when he came to Beisi City. The next day, he asked Tang Moqing to borrow a car, saying that he was going out for a stroll and wanted to buy some new clothes before the shopping mall closed for the holiday.
While shopping for clothes in the mall, Lu Yin suddenly had a strange feeling and shifted his gaze to outside the store. He caught sight of a familiar figure on the opposite floor and without thinking, he put down the clothes in his hand and quickly left the men's clothing store starting with the letter "A".
When he walked to the front of the men's clothing store, that figure inexplicably vanished.
Lu Yin's face was a little unsightly, with a hint of gloom, his thin lips tightly pursed.
He stopped for about ten seconds, then turned around and walked back into the luxury menswear store he had just left.
He thought to himself: Maybe it was just a momentary lapse in vision.
Returned to Tang's manor in the afternoon.
After putting away the clothes he bought, he went to keep company with Old Mr. Tang.
Today the weather is still beautiful. Mr. Tang is dozing in the backyard, basking in the sun. Hearing footsteps, he slowly opens his cloudy eyes.
"Are you back"
"Mm, yes." Lu Yin sat down in the chair beside him.
Mr. Tang chuckled a few times, rocking gently in his chair.
After a while.
“Let me tell you, the first time I saw you, I felt a sense of familiarity, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.”
Lu Yin heard this, his body stiffened, and he didn't respond.
Mr. Tang continued to talk to himself, "I haven't interacted with you much, but the more I do, the more I feel like you're a person."
"Oh, is that so" Lu Yin's voice was a bit stiff, with a hint of complexity that was hard to detect.
I didn't ask who that person was.
He knew exactly who the old man was talking about.
"Can I still deceive you" Grandpa Tang smiled faintly, his voice tinged with a hint of melancholy. "But that person is gone."
"..." Lü Yin pressed his thin lips together, a sour taste rising in his throat, unable to speak.
Mr. Tang chuckled again and said, "But these past few years, I've let go of it. Some people's destinies, perhaps, were predetermined from the start. If Heaven wants them dead, there's no way to escape it."
When Si Xiu died, he held a deep grudge against An Xiaotui.
Later on, even though he agreed to let the rabbit be with his second young master, a part of him still thought that if it weren't for An Xiaotu, perhaps Si Xiu wouldn't have died. This thought was like a tiny thorn, one that couldn't be removed and would sting a little every time it was touched.
Until that year, when the rabbit 'died', watching his second young master alone, with An Nian.
Later on, he even forgot about the past. He became like a walking corpse. He saw it with his own eyes and felt pain in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about it.
At that time, I thought the rabbit was already dead. The second young master's heartache was estimated to be incurable for his whole life.
During those years, the atmosphere in the Tang family was not like that of a normal household at all.
As for the incident with Er Shao and the rabbit, he thought about it for a long time and finally figured it out. In fact, in that accident, An Xiaotu was also a victim; she was just more fortunate to have survived.
Back then, in order to protect young Se Xiu, they deliberately shifted the hatred onto the Second Young Master, trying their best to keep Se Xiu out of danger.
But unexpectedly, Shu Xiu still 'committed suicide' in the end.
So when heaven wants a person to die, there's no way to avoid it.
Lu Yin frowned slightly, thinking about Old Tang's words, 'Some people's fate is perhaps predetermined from the start. If heaven wants him to die, there's no way to escape it.'
My great-grandfather said he might have been destined to die from the start
My great-grandfather had also wanted to help him avoid a fatal disaster without his knowledge
"Oh How do you say that, Mr. Tang" he asked calmly.
"That's a long story," Grandpa Tang stopped his hands and didn't intend to continue the topic, "Old man, I just want to say that I quite like you, but I don't regard you as a substitute. If you have free time, come visit the Tang family more often."
That matter, to tell the truth, is a long story, and it's also a secret of the Tang family. Now that Si Xiu is gone, bringing it up is pointless.
I've never told anyone else, and naturally I wouldn't tell Lü Yin.
Although Lü Yinzhi had doubts in his heart, seeing that Old Master Tang was unwilling to say more, he didn't press him further.
"Yes, when I have free time, I will come to see Mr. Tang more often."
After all, my great-grandfather is already quite old. While he is still healthy, we shouldn't let ourselves have regrets.
Mr. Tang nodded in satisfaction and changed the subject.
When people get old, they like to talk about things from their youth, repeating them endlessly. Lu Yin sat on the side, listening occasionally interjecting a few words.
In the afternoon sun, a scene of an old and young person together, warm, peaceful and beautiful.nted to help share some of the workload, but the little fellow firmly refused.He then pulled out a pen and paper and wrote: "Helping children and ladies with their things is the most basic gentlemanly...
