The remarried husband is actually the head of the rich family?

Tu Lan didn't say anything specific.

However, Chu Chengli understood that Tu Lan was talking about the day before their wedding, when Shen Tang fell ill and begged him for mercy, he gave up his whole world and chose to accompany Shen Tang to treat the illness.

Over the years, whenever he thought of the past, he asked himself again and again: "Chu Chengli, have you ever regretted it?"

In fact, he has never experienced any major storms in his life, and all the costs he paid were due to his own choices.

But it was his own choice that brought him heart-wrenching regrets in his life.

Chu Chengli lowered his head, avoiding Tu Lan's gaze, and gently twitched the corners of his mouth. The bitterness that had been endured for many years bloomed in his wrinkled smile.

"No regrets." Chu Chengli replied firmly.

"dad."

After hearing his father's answer, Chu Tiankuo felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. He stepped forward and grabbed his father's hand, begging him, "Don't say one thing and mean another. You obviously care about my mother so much, why are you torturing yourself like this?"

Chu Chengli didn't say anything, but just gently patted the back of his son's hand a few times.

Tu Lan nodded with an unclear emotion and confirmed: "So if it happens again, you will still put me behind Shen Tang's illness, right?"

"One more time." Chu Chengli said, "I won't pursue you. I won't drag you into my bad world and waste your time."

After Chu Chengli finished speaking, the hall fell into silence.

Everyone's face was solemn and serious, even Fu Yehan was speechless.

It was quiet like this for over a minute.

Tu Lan suddenly laughed.

"Chu Chengli." Tu Lan said, "I forgive you."

Tu Lan's voice was not loud, but it had a deafening effect.

Chu Chengli's pupils suddenly shrank, and after a long time he slowly raised his eyes and looked at Tu Lan in disbelief.

Tu Lan corrected him: "You are just kind-hearted, but you are not weak, and I did not lose to Shen Tang, I just lost to Shen Tang's illness."

After hearing Tu Lan's words, Chu Tiankuo's reaction was no less than his father's. His almost round eyes suddenly lit up. The intense surprise made him a little at a loss, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Fu Jingwei.

It wasn't until his wife blinked and nodded at him that Chu Tiankuo finally felt a sense of reality.

"Amien?" Chu Chengli was still a little uncertain, and asked tentatively, "What do you mean by that? Is it what I understand?"

Tu Lan pondered for a moment and said, "To be honest with you, Chu Chengli, when the matchmaker introduced us to each other, I didn't fancy you. It was my family who liked you and thought that your family was well-off and had potential for development. I personally don't have any fantasy expectations for a man who gave up his childhood sweetheart relationship because of his family's opposition."

Hearing this, Chu Chengli slowly frowned, thinking of the little things they had experienced together in the past, and a huge sense of loss was hard to hide on his face: "So, when you are with me, you always act rational and calm, sometimes even a little cold, because you don't love me, right?"

"Yes." Tu Lan's answer was even more firm than Chu Chengli's "I don't regret it."

Chu Tiankuo had just tasted a little sweetness from his mother's easing attitude, but suddenly he followed his father and felt pierced by thousands of arrows.

"No, it's impossible." Chu Chengli retorted, "You are not that rational. You still love me. Otherwise, how could we have Tian Kuo?"

Tu Lan glanced in the direction of Chu Tiankuo and said with a smile: "That boy was just an accident. I didn't expect it myself. But I don't regret it. I don't regret giving birth to a son for you, and I don't regret meeting you."

There was a hint of contradiction in what Tu Lan said.

Chu Chengli stopped asking questions and just listened quietly.

I said that I hated you for the first ten years after we separated. "Tu Lan said, "That's because I fell in love with you. I loved you as much as I hated you."

"There is more than one sick person in this world, Shen Tang. Everyone has his or her own illness, including mine, which is why I live such a twisted life."

"When you belonged to me completely, I felt that you were irresponsible for your first love, so I didn't love you and didn't expect your love, because I felt that your so-called love was only because I was suitable. If one day I became a burden that your whole family couldn't accept, you would weigh the pros and cons and give up on me."

"But when you chose her regardless of everything because of Shen Tang's illness, I realized that I was wrong."

"When I saw you pick up Shen Tang and walk towards home step by step, I seemed to really know you. You would weigh the pros and cons and choose to give up after you could not provide Shen Tang with a harmonious family atmosphere. But once things escalate to the point where you are indispensable, you will withstand all the pressure and shoulder all the responsibilities alone."

After more than 30 years, Tu Lan looked at her then-fiancé and smiled: "So Chu Chengli, if you regret it, I have waited for nothing in this life."

After Chu Tianqing expressed her thoughts, Ye Qingluo sent a message to Fu Yehan, asking him if he could ask Tu Lan to come to Chu Tianqing's room, as Chu Tianqing had something to say to Tu Lan.

Fu Yehan replied that she could, but she had to wait a while.

So Ye Qingluo talked about something else with Chu Tianqing.

"Qingqing, what are your plans?" Ye Qingluo did not shy away from asking, "Between your father and the Fu family, how do you plan to choose?"

Chu Tianqing thought for a moment and said, "I don't choose anyone. I'm an adult now and can live alone."

After the intense outburst, Chu Tianqing had completely calmed down.

Although she said it lightly, Ye Qingluo knew that Chu Tianqing must be feeling extremely uneasy.

However, despite such a huge change in her heart, Chu Tianqing still couldn't change her worrying habit. She would think about Fu Jingchen, care about the torment her life experience brought to others, and care about the regret and loneliness her father had to go through all these years alone.

Ye Qingluo thought, perhaps it was this kind heart that saved her, allowing her to divert her attention away from herself and not get stuck in a dead end and never get out.

"Qingluo."

Chu Tianqing picked up a purple dress from the clothes scattered on the ground, held it in her arms, and suddenly asked out of nowhere: "Actually, this dress was given to you by Teacher Tu Lan, right?"
