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

A moment later, Tu Lan heard through the screen window that the door was opened from the inside by one of her new apprentices.

"Sir, who are you looking for?" the apprentice asked politely.

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded: "Excuse me, is Master Tu Lan here?"

The apprentice knew that the teacher did not see guests easily, so he asked cautiously, "Do you have an appointment?"

“No,” the man said.

"I'm sorry, sir," said the apprentice, "but I won't see you without an appointment."

After a while, the man asked again: "Can you please help me hand this box to your teacher?"

When the apprentice hesitated, the other party said, "There is nothing dangerous inside. It is a few photo albums, a birthday gift for your teacher. If you are worried, you can check it."

"Okay." The apprentice said, "Then you can keep it. I will give it to the teacher later."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, sir."

After the door closed, Chu Chengli stood there for a while before turning around, stepping back to the parking space and starting the car.

Just as he released the foot brake and was about to step on the accelerator, his cell phone suddenly rang.

Chu Chengli sighed, came out of his emotions, and subconsciously took out his cell phone.

However, the moment he saw the incoming call, he suddenly froze.

The emotions that had just been suppressed came back with a vengeance, even stronger than ever before.

Caller ID: Amiens.

This was the mobile phone number that Chu Chengli saw from his son Chu Tiankuo on the day of his 60th birthday party.

He secretly saved the number in his mobile phone. During this period, he looked it up countless times and wanted to dial it, but he never had the courage.

After staring at the incoming call for a while, Chu Chengli pressed the call button.

The call timer appears on the screen.

Second after second.

Neither of them said anything.

It wasn't until the time jumped to one minute that Tu Lan spoke first: "Since you're here, come in."

After a cigarette, Chu Chengli appeared in Ifyou's spacious living room.

Tu Lan did not invite Chu Chengli to sit down, and she did not sit down either. The two of them stood face to face, separated by most of the living room.

Chu Chengli opened his mouth, clearly having a lot to say. However, before he opened his mouth, all the opening remarks he had anticipated were blocked by the long thirty years of time.

"You're one year older." Chu Chengli said, "Happy birthday."

Tu Lan smiled and said, "Chu Chengli, you are a little too emotional. Please control yourself. Apart from having a son together, we are essentially no different from other lovers who have fallen in love and broken up."

As Tu Lan spoke, her eyes fell on the albums on the coffee table. They were photos of Chu Tiankuo growing up step by step from the age of three to thirty-four. There were photos of every year, some innocent, some happy, some excited, some frustrated, some sad, some crying, some making progress, some failing, some being funny, and some like all naughty kids, making people's blood pressure soar...

"You should agree with what I said, right?" Tu Lan said, "Look, you chose so many photos, but not a single one is of you. There's not even a shot of you showing your face next to your son."

"Amian..."

"Chu Chengli." Tu Lan interrupted what he was about to say, "We are all so old now, we should have understood life a long time ago, there is no need to be sentimental. I accept your gift, I am sorry that I didn't prepare anything for you on your 60th birthday some time ago. Now it is time to reciprocate, I will give you a gift in return, but I don't know what you need, and I am too lazy to think about it, so just ask for what you want, I will try my best to satisfy you."

Chu Chengli thought for a while and did not refuse: "Okay, then answer me a question."

"Sure." Tu Lan said, "Ask."

Chu Chengli drooped his eyelids and stared at the void in front of him.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Chengli finally spoke in a low voice: "You kept your information so secret and didn't let me find it. Is it because... you still hate me?"

Thirty-four years, more than twelve thousand days and nights.

The pain of regret is like a knife in the heart that never heals.

Chu Chengli has deeply loved two women in his life, one is Ting Yumian, and the other is his childhood sweetheart, Shen Tang.

Shen Tang is very beautiful and was a stunning beauty back then. Not only was Chu Chengli infatuated with her, but there were countless men who liked Shen Tang, and most of them had very good family backgrounds.

But because Chu Chengli was close to Shen Tang, he became the first man to establish a relationship with her.

However, their relationship was opposed by Chu Chengli's entire family.

Because Shen Tang's mother suffered from a very serious mental illness, and it was a family disease. When it was serious, she would even use a kitchen knife to chop people.

In the end, Chu Chengli couldn't withstand the pressure from his family and chose to break up with Shen Tang.

Later, through the introduction of his family, Chu Chengli met Ting Yumian.

Ting Yumian and Shen Tang are completely different types. Shen Tang is weak, delicate, sentimental, a bit like Lin Daiyu. Coupled with her stunning appearance, she is the type that many men want to protect.

Ting Yumian is independent, rational, talented, has her own unique insights on everything, and is a woman who can shoulder responsibilities alongside men.

When breaking up with Shen Tang, Chu Chengli thought that he would never fall deeply in love with any woman again in his life. However, what he never expected was that he was deeply attracted to Ting Yumian the first time he met her.

If Shen Tang was stunningly good-looking and unmatched, then Ting Yumian was stunning in personality, which was also rare in their era.

When he and Ting Yumian set the wedding date, it was the third year of their acquaintance.

But good fortune fools people.

They were only one day away from becoming a real couple.

That was the day before the wedding. According to custom, the couple could not see each other on the day before the wedding.

That day, Chu Chengli was decorating the bridal chamber at home and writing the red wedding characters to be posted the next morning when suddenly a child ran in and told him that an auntie had something to ask him and was waiting for him at the corner of the street.

Chu Chengli didn't think much about it and went to the street corner according to the direction the little boy said. Then he saw Shen Tang with disheveled hair.

Although Shen Tang was sentimental, she had always been a sensible and decent woman. She had not even made a big fuss about breaking up. However, that day, she was in a mess and held him tightly, refusing to let go.

Chu Chengli originally wanted to comfort her and then push her away, but when he saw the scratches all over Shen Tang's hands, he suddenly softened his heart.

She was the girl he had known since childhood for more than 20 years. They had countless memories together. They had loved each other and had been together. So he closed his eyes, raised his hands and hugged her.

He heard the desperate sobs in his arms.

Shen Tang said: "Brother Chengli, I can't control myself. I seem to be really... a madman."
