Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1142: Chapter 1142: Are You Kidding Me?

"No, sis, you’re overthinking. What could I possibly be hiding from you?" Tang Jun’s forehead was sweating nonstop; his sister’s intuition was too sharp.

"Really?"

Tang Yue drew out her tone, saying, "A few days ago, I had this nagging feeling of unease. Are you really okay? I’m going back in a few days, and if I find out you’ve been hiding something from me, you know my temper."

Tang Jun: "..."

Sis, is it okay for you to threaten people like this?

"Xiao Jun?" Tang Yue called his name.

Tang Jun mumbled, "Sis, it’s just a little accident, nothing major."

"What kind of accident? Were you injured?" Tang Yue felt a panic of unease when she heard Meng Siyu went to find Tang Jun that day.

"Just a minor injury, it’s okay. Sis, is your work going smoothly in F Country?" Tang Jun changed the subject, "Sis, when are you coming back?"

Tang Yue listened to Tang Jun’s casual words, and upon closer examination, it seemed he was at home, which made her think he must be alright.

With that thought, Tang Yue felt more at ease and started talking to Tang Jun about her return journey.

There were still a few loose ends to tie up here, probably four or five days left. Tang Yue asked Tang Jun if he still had any vacation left. Tang Jun vaguely used the excuse that Tang Mingli had something to say, and passed the phone to Tang Mingli.

Tang Mingli: "..."

Tang Jun, if you want to hide something from Xiao Yue, don’t drag me into it.

Tang Mingli cleared his throat and directly talked to Tang Yue about work, leaving no room for extra questions. After discussing business, Tang Mingli said, "Xiao Yue, I’ve finished what I have to say. Why don’t you talk to Jiajia? Jiajia really misses you."

Wei Jiajia really missed Tang Yue. She took the call and spoke with Tang Yue for a while.

By the time the call returned to Meng Siyu, half an hour had passed. He was about to chat with her, but then Tang Yue’s voice came through, saying, "Siyu, thanks for taking care of things at home. Xiao Jun said he’s on vacation these days, please help out more. I have business here, that’s all for now."

Tang Yue seemed to have something urgent and hurriedly hung up the phone.

Meng Siyu: "..."

The next day, Meng Siyu brought the two kids to school at the company. Mo Xiaolin, worried about Tang Jun, stayed home.

Tang Mingli directly brought Tang Jun to the factory, treating it like a fun outing for him.

Meng Siyu finished his business in Jing City and deliberately made a detour to find Lian Qingyang. Though a phone call would suffice, Meng Siyu felt it necessary to meet Lian Qingyang in person.

After calling ahead and knowing Lian Qingyang was at the company, he quickly drove over.

Xincheng Company.

Lian Qingyang’s computer factory has been growing impressive. What was once a small-scale operation is now increasingly high-tech, not only expanding its premises but also dramatically increasing its computer production numbers.

Not only does Lian Qingyang sell his own phones, but now numerous fixed distributors have opened exclusive computer stores nationwide, making Xincheng Computers quite upscale.

The company is also quite grand.

"Lian Qingyang, I have something to say to you." Tao Yujun blocked Lian Qingyang’s path, saying, "I heard you got engaged."

"Yes." Lian Qingyang confirmed with a nod, "If you’re here to offer congratulations, I’d be happy. But if you’re here looking for trouble, I’m sorry; even though I don’t hit women, it doesn’t mean I won’t have security escort you out."

"I’m...here to discuss work." Tao Yujun bit her lip, pitifully looking at Lian Qingyang, "Lian Qingyang, we were classmates; how can you be so heartless?"

"If it’s work-related, please see the business department."

Lian Qingyang directly had the business department manager brought over.

Tao Yujun stepped forward, "Lian Qingyang, if you were marrying someone better than me, I’d let it go. But Jin Yan, I heard her family is ordinary, merely in clothing business, how could she match you?"

Tao Yujun had harbored a crush on Lian Qingyang since school days and never managed to win him over even after so many years. When Lian Qingyang got engaged, Tao Yujun gave up and got engaged too.

But her fiancé broke off the engagement within a few months. Tao Yujun decided she wanted someone ten times, even a hundred times better than her ex-fiancé.

However, after searching through Sea City and among acquaintances, no one seemed more suitable than Lian Qingyang.

So Tao Yujun hurried to Jing City, even boastfully promising Mr. Tao she’d bring back a wealthy suitor.

"Without Xiao Yan and the others making clothes, are you just going to go out naked?" Lian Qingyang’s voice turned icy, "Tao Yujun, if it weren’t for you being a classmate, do you think you’d even get to see me?"

"If you dare disparage my fiancée again, don’t blame me for being unforgiving."

Lian Qingyang spoke sternly, "See her out."

After he spoke, Tao Yujun ran out, eyes red.

Meng Siyu walked in just as Tao Yujun was running out crying.

"Brother-in-law, you’re here." Seeing Meng Siyu, Lian Qingyang’s previously cold face immediately brightened up, but Meng Siyu’s scrutinizing gaze made Lian Qingyang shiver. He quickly said, "Brother-in-law, that woman is a classmate. I’m not interested in her; I only love gold, and I want to marry gold."

"Don’t make your sister worry." Meng Siyu didn’t say much but offered a warning.

Tang Yue values family highly, and if Lian Qingyang did something to let her down, Tang Yue would be hurt.

"Brother-in-law, you’re overthinking." Lian Qingyang muttered internally, not daring to speak further, served tea to Meng Siyu, then asked, "Brother-in-law, how come you have time to visit?"

"You have extensive connections, can you find out about any experts in brain science? There’s a blood clot affecting the optic nerve." Meng Siyu got straight to the point.

"Who’s having eye problems?" Lian Qingyang asked casually, not thinking much of it, trying to recall brain experts. But since no one at home had serious illness, he couldn’t think of anyone immediately.

Meng Siyu was silent for a moment before saying, "Xiao Jun."

"What’s up with Xiao Jun? Wasn’t that kid just on vacation at the company? Hey, we haven’t even sparred enough last time." Lian Qingyang muttered, not associating Tang Jun with eye issues.

Meng Siyu gave him a look, "Tang Jun’s eyes can’t see."

"Oh."

Lian Qingyang casually responded, then realized the gravity, jumping up in shock to look at Meng Siyu, "Brother-in-law, are you joking with me?"

Meng Siyu kept a straight face, his sharp gaze seeming to ask: would I joke about something like this?
