National development: I build a base on the rock beast

"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 but feel embarrassed because 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 was just a coincidence that her father was also attracting the attention of all forces just 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 is 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 suffered a lot from 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 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 grow up with Yaqing. But for the death of Yaqing's father, Dilian shamelessly blamed me, claiming that I killed 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 to herself.

"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 that past incident. They were both Tang Yaqing's closest relatives, and they only hoped that Tang Yaqing could live a carefree life. As Ai Xiaoxing said, hatred, Let them take the responsibility!

The door of the villa opened and the head of the Tang family walked in. Ai Xiaoxing said to Duan Ming.

"Tomorrow at eight o'clock in the morning, there will be a high-level meeting of Xingya Group to discuss the choice of the seventh domain branch. Don't be late."

After that, Ai Xiaoxing walked out of the villa.

When passing by Patriarch Tang, Patriarch Tang said something to Tang Chen.

"Chen'er, go ask the kitchen to prepare some more dishes for lunch. Remember to tell them not to add spicy food. Your younger siblings have bad throats and can't eat."

Ai Xiaoxing's footsteps paused. How could she not understand that what she just said was also clearly heard by the Tang family leader.

The reason why Tang Chen eavesdropped in the dark was because of the request of Patriarch Tang. Through the earphones, Patriarch Tang also knew the truth of that year.

He raised his hand and patted Ai Xiaoxing's shoulder gently.

"Xing'er, I've suffered so much for you for so many years!"

Ai Xiaoxing's tears surged again. She turned around and knelt on the ground, hugging the Tang family leader's legs with both hands, and finally shouted out the words she had always wanted to shout but never could.

"dad!"
