The Tang Family’s Seven Os

From that day on, Tang Si Yuan really started to be a good golden master in earnest.
He found a random reason to study with his senior, moved out of the house, and rented a house near the school, and started living with Yan Qin Ye.
Fortunately, his parents have always respected their children’s ideas and will not impose more constraints, hence they did not think much about agreeing.

He had a strong sense of money since he was a child, and had saved up all his pocket money and New Year’s money over the years, so he had some savings in his hand, which was enough for the two of them to spend on their daily expenses.

When Yan Qin Ye was about to sit for his college entrance exams, Tang Si Yuan, the dutiful golden master, even learnt how to make soup and cook with his own hands.
Although he still could not cook complicated dishes, he could at least make a simple soup for Yan Qin Ye, just like all families with candidates, Tang Si Yuan takes care of him carefully and responsibly and deeply feels that he is really a caring and good golden master.

Of course, this must not be known to Tang Bo Te, otherwise Tang Bo Te would be crying out in pain.
He has kept his sons out of the kitchen all these years, and if he knew that his son had learnt to cook for the sake of his kept man, Tang Si Yuan was worried that he would not be able to stand the stimulation.

When Li Fei found out about what happened with Li Dong Qiang, he apologised seriously to Tang Si Yuan, he also called Li Dong Qiang up and gave him a good scolding, even vowing that he would never associate with him again and that he would take it as if he never had this distant cousin.

Tang Si Yuan kept the matter of Yan Qin Ye wanting to see his father in mind, but since Tang Bo Te had not yet returned, he could only wait, not daring to make any more rash moves, as it would be even more difficult for Yan Qin Ye to see his father if too many people knew about such matters.

As the date for Yan Qin Ye’s college entrance exams drew nearer and nearer, Tang Si Yuan’s heart was in turmoil, worrying about both Yan Qin Ye’s results and father Yan’s health, feeling that he had the potential to be a mother.

This night, when lightning and thunder struck outside the house, Tang Si Yuan suddenly received a phone call from Li Fei, whose tone was a bit urgent.
As soon as the call connected, he said directly: “Yan Qin Ye’s father seems to be dying.
I heard that he might not be able to make it through tonight.”

Because of what happened last time, he had been feeling guilty, so he kept a close eye on father Yan’s situation and told them at the first opportunity.
As for Tang Si Yuan and Yan Qin Ye living together, he only knew that Tang Si Yuan had moved in with Yan Qin Ye in order to study with him, not knowing about their ‘kept’ relationship.

When Tang Si Yuan heard Li Fei’s words, his expression shook and he glanced at Yan Qin Ye who was studying with his head down across the room, his gaze complicated and grave.

Sensing his gaze, Yan Qin Ye turned his head to look at him, “What’s wrong?”

Tang Si Yuan couldn’t speak as he cupped his phone, his little face turning white.

Yan Qin Ye seemed to realise what was going on, his face was deep but his steps were steady as he walked over and took the phone from Tang Si Yuan and took over the call.
Tang Si Yuan opened his mouth but didn’t say anything, he just stepped back and made way.

Not sure what Li Fei said on the phone, Yan Qin Ye’s hand clenched the phone so tightly that Tang Si Yuan could see the raised veins on the back of his hand.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Qin Ye maintained his previous posture, turning his back to Tang Si Yuan without turning around, but his arms were trembling gently because of the tight clenching, and his whole body was even trembling uncontrollably.

Tang Si Yuan’s eyes turned red when he saw him like this, and he suddenly stood up and began to get dressed in a panic, chanting, “I’ll make a trip out, although Big Dad can’t be reached, I can go home and ask my Daddy, maybe he will have a solution.”

Although he said this, but he knew that he was just desperate and didn’t hold out much hope, because the chance of finding a way in Yuan Qiu was extremely low.
He was always indifferent to fame and fortune, and only operated his own flower shop for many years.
He never asked too much about things in Tang Bo Te’s officialdom.
Tang Bo Te knew that he didn’t like these things, and he never introduced his friends in officialdom to him.
This was the habit of Tang family, and he never went out to show off in the name of Tang Bo Te, though he wouldn’t deliberately hide it, he would not actively mention it either.

Tang Si Yuan didn’t wait for Yan Qin Ye’s answer before he hurriedly ran out, the wind and rain was blowing heavily outside.
He went downstairs and the cold wind blew through, he couldn’t help but hold his arms and shiver.
It was dark outside, even the street lights were faintly flickering.
He unconsciously took a step back in fear, but remembering Yan Qin Ye’s father, he hurriedly stepped forward and tried to rush into the rain, but was pulled by a force behind him, Yan Qin Ye draped a piece of clothing over his body, “I’ll go with you.”

He was still acting calmly, but the darkness in his eyes was so deep that it was as if the light inside had dimmed.

When Tang Si Yuan wanted to say a few words of comfort, Yan Qin Ye had already told Tang Si Yuan to wait under the eaves, and he himself rushed into the rain to hail a taxi.

There were not many taxis in rainy days, and the two of them waited for a while before a car finally stopped.
They went home together, and it was already a little late at night, but the lights were still on at home, Yuan Qiu should be still awake.

Tang Si Yuan and Yan Qin Ye hurriedly walked in the door, and Yuan Qiu was sitting on the sofa arranging flowers, looking very relaxed, but with a slight frown on his face.
Tang Si Yuan knew that when Tang Bo Te was not at home, Yuan Qiu usually slept very late, probably because he missed Tang Bo Te, but he never said this to the children.

Tang Si Yuan took Yan Qin Ye’s hand and walked quickly to Yuan Qiu, who froze for a moment when he saw the two of them, then smiled and reached out to touch the rain on Tang Si Yuan’s forehead, “Why did you suddenly come back on a rainy day, look at these clothes, they are all wet, quickly go and take a bath.”

He turned his head to look at Yan Qin Ye and smiled lovingly, saying affectionately: “This child looks really good, he a classmate of Xiao Si’s, right? Why does his complexion look so bad, did he meet with something?”

Naturally, Tang Si Yuan couldn’t care less about the bath and hurriedly told him about father Yan and Yuan Qiu’s face turned serious when he heard it, but he really didn’t know the official in charge of watching father Yan.

When Yan Qin Ye saw his expression he understood that there was nothing he could do, the light in his eyes abruptly went out, “Uncle, I’m sorry to have bothered you.”

Yuan Qiu was most soft-hearted, seeing that Yan Qin Ye was obviously still a child and could still be so calm in the face of so many things, he couldn’t help but be very soft-hearted.
Several people were so anxious that they didn’t know what to do, when the door was suddenly pushed open and Tang Bo Te’s tanned face appeared in front of the door, shouting, “Wife, I finally came back from that place where birds don’t lay eggs!”

When he saw how many people were in the room, he was stunned and withdrew his arms, which were opened wide to hug his wife, and then he saw that everyone’s eyes were lit up with hope.

Tang Bo Te: “????”

With the help of Tang Bert, Yan Qin Ye finally met father Yan overnight.

When Li Dong Qiang saw Tang Si Yuan walk in with General Tang, his heart almost jumped out of his chest in fear.
He had only thought that Tang Si Yuan was just an ordinary classmate, but how could he have imagined that his father would be the titular General Tang.
He hated that he couldn’t kneel down on the spot to make amends to Tang Si Yuan and his calf couldn’t help shivering.

Tang Si Yuan gave him a fierce glare, but had no time to clean him up for the time being and accompanied Yan Qin Ye into father Yan’s intensive care ward.

Father Yan is terminally ill and there is no one in the ward.
There were only many instruments to monitor his body, and the yellow light that shines on his bloodless face.
His body is thin and dry, and he is lying on the hospital bed.
His face looks somewhat similar to Yan Qin Ye’s, except that his features were dull and wrinkled from the torture of the illness.
His eyes were closed tightly in pain, and lying on the bed, each breath he took looked very difficult, but he still refused to take his last breath, as if waiting for someone to come.

Yan Qin Ye’s eyes were sunken red and he went over and knelt by his bedside, holding his hand tightly, his throat felt like it was blocked by strong acid, and he couldn’t speak for a moment.

Father Yan seemed to sense something and excitedly opened his dusky eyes, his voice hoarse and dry, “Xiao Ye, is that you?”

“It’s me, Dad.” Yan Qin Ye’s voice carried a grief that was hard to suppress, he suppressed his sobs and tried to make his voice seem calmer, but his shoulders couldn’t help but tremble from the excitement.

When father Yan saw Yan Qin Ye, his eyes lit up slightly, his old voice trembled as he looked at Yan Qin Ye with an urgent and nervous gaze: “Xiao Ye, dad was wronged, don’t believe those people’s words, I don’t know why that money appeared in our house, it was that woman, it must have been that wicked woman who set me up in collusion with people outside……”

Yan Qin Ye nodded his head and said in a deep voice: “I know, I believe you1He uses the formal ‘you’ (您), I will use italics for this in future would not do something like that.”

Father Yan finally relaxed a little, lying on the hospital bed, his pale old eyes burst out with unspeakable grief and anger, “I’ve been clean all my life, never taking a penny more from the interstellar government or the people, Xiao Ye, Daddy has not disgraced you.”

Tears dripped uncontrollably from Yan Qin Ye’s eyes as he firmly gripped his father’s hand and choked out: “En, I’m proud of you.”

Father Yan seemed a little more relieved and said helplessly and reluctantly: “Xiao Ye, I’ve said many times that I was wronged but no one believes me, only you believe me, there isn’t even a lawyer willing to defend me, what else can I do, what else can I do……”

Every word seemed to be said with difficulty, yet he still persisted.
He had waited too long to finally wait for someone who would believe him, who would listen to him, and he seemed to want to voice out all those unreconciled feelings.

The instruments around him made a shrill sound, his body was at its limit, yet he refused to close his eyes, holding on strongly, his body spasming from the intense pain, he repeated the words doggedly, “I was wronged, I was wronged……”

General Tang was somewhat moved to turn his head, Yuan Qiu couldn’t bear it and his eyes reddened, Tang Si Yuan had long been crying uncontrollably, but he was afraid of disturbing the Yan family father and son, tightly covering his mouth and not daring to make a sound.

Yan Qin Ye’s eyes were red and he grabbed his father’s hand tightly, he didn’t want to see his father in so much pain, holding back his heartache, he said: “I know, don’t worry, I will prove your innocence, you can go in peace.”

Father Yan’s voice finally stopped, he seemed to smile gently, his smile was very faint and contained a few moments of relief, then closed his eyes for a long time, his breathing stopped.

“Dad!” Yan Qin Ye’s head lowered and he finally couldn’t hold back his tears as he knelt on the ground.

……

Father Yan’s funeral was very cold and very few people came, but Yan Qin Ye received everyone who came seriously.

At the funeral, Tang Si Yuan met the woman whom father Yan described as vicious, that is, Yan Qin Ye’s stepmother Lin Pei Xue, a very delicate looking female Omega, dressed in a black dress with a bowler hat on her head and delicate make-up on her face.
As she arrived, she was crying loudly and kept angrily complaining about father Yan ‘why did he have to be corrupt and end up in such a state’, she said it very loudly, as if she wanted everyone present to hear it.

Yan Qin Ye had been watching coldly, looking at her with eyes so cold they could freeze ice, and a deep and thick disgust under his eyes.

After father Yan’s passing, because dead men tell no tales, the case was directly sentenced.
Father Yan charges of corruption was implemented and all his property was confiscated.
Yan Qin Ye took nothing out except the photos of his parents.

General Tang personally went to find out about the case but unfortunately, the evidence was overwhelming.
He did not know much about legal affairs, and even he could not overturn the case for father Yan.

As the time for the college entrance exams drew nearer, Tang Si Yuan was worried that Yan Qin Ye’s father’s case would affect him, but to his surprise, after his father’s funeral, Yan Qin Ye was so engrossed in his books that he was a hundred times more serious than before his father’s mishap, often reading hard until late at night.

Naturally, Tang Si Yuan would not disturb him, but just became more of a good golden master, not delaying his studies at all, and only dared to sneak up in the dead of night to steal a sweet and fragrant kiss on Yan Qin Ye’s lips.
