Chapter 351 - 350: Return to the Main Family
Chapter 351 - 350: Return to the Main Family
Tian Jun is the eldest son of their generation, but he also has no talent for traditional Chinese medicine. He gave up halfway and turned to managing the entire family.Right now, the Tian Family is in a moment of crisis, but because of Tian Jun’s presence, the family remains orderly and hasn’t descended into chaos, allowing Tian Heming and Tian Qinghui to focus on finding a cure.
Tian Jun received a call from Tian Lei while dealing with a collateral issue. Ever since the news broke about General Zhou being critically ill, three families have announced their departure from the Tian Family consecutively.
These people share the surname Tian, but they haven’t been associated with Tian Heming’s lineage for five generations. They want to become independent for this reason. In the past, when the Tian Family was prospering, these people clung to the family like a sticky plaster, impossible to peel off. Look at them now.
Tian Jun’s face was gloomy, "Fifth Uncle Tian, since you insist on becoming independent, we won’t stop you. We will reclaim the previous assets."
Fifth Uncle Tian glared, "We’ve always been managing those assets..."
Before he could finish speaking, Tian Jun sneered, "That’s right, because you were dependent on the Tian Family, we entrusted part of the assets to you. But now that you’re going independent, naturally, we’ll reclaim the assets. We have all the original contracts. If Fifth Uncle Tian has any objections, you can take legal action, and we’ll meet in court."
For some time, Tian Jun has been dealing with these matters. He has long become indifferent to these people’s heartlessness. With the family in troubled times, he doesn’t have the patience to argue with them. The original agreements were clear, and he doesn’t want to engage in verbal spats.
Fifth Uncle Tian’s face alternated between blue and red. Currently, nearly half of their assets are tied to the Tian Family. If they were returned, while it might not be like returning to the pre-revolution era, their income would significantly shrink, even affecting their standard of living.
However, considering the Tian Family’s disaster, breaking away to avoid getting dragged down seems more prudent. After all, they don’t rely entirely on the Tian Family’s assets to live. Though they may experience a significant drop initially, they can develop gradually. It’s better than being constantly suppressed.
Though Fifth Uncle Tian thought this way, he still planned to discuss it with his family, so he didn’t make a final decision with Tian Jun then.
Tian Jun no longer cared about these people and drove back to the Tian Family. Tian Lei was waiting for him at the door.
"Brother, let’s go pick up Beibei." Tian Lei was as happy as a child.
Tian Jun frowned, "Is this Grandfather’s idea?"
"Yes, Grandfather said we should secretly bring her over." Tian Lei got into the passenger seat.
Tian Jun remained silent for a long time before saying, "Does she know about the Tian Family’s situation?"
"Yes, she knew long ago. Second Sister didn’t let her come back."
Tian Jun’s cold expression softened considerably. Recently, he had been dealing only with heartless people, making him doubt if there was anyone with compassion in the world. Now, with Beisitian knowing the Tian Family’s plight and still coming over despite everything, although it wasn’t very rational, it warmed his heart that was almost frozen cold.
Because they had notified in advance, Luo Xudong didn’t go out today. When the car arrived at the small courtyard, Tian Jun and his brother didn’t get out of the car and directly called the two inside.
Tian Lei felt a bit sorry, he really wanted to go in and take a look.
The place isn’t far from the Tian Family. The car drove straight into the large courtyard of the Tian Family, where Tian Heming and Dong Fengzhen were already waiting.
Dong Fengzhen is Tian Meijun’s mother, and also Beisitian’s grandmother.
Dong Fengzhen had watched the video recorded by Tian Qiu, but unfortunately, the footage was unclear and shaky, making her dizzy, but she still watched it all. The silhouette was both unfamiliar and familiar, resembling her little Jun!
As soon as the car stopped, Dong Fengzhen came forward, visibly emotional, trying hard to control her emotions. Though smiling, the moment she saw Beisitian, tears flowed uncontrollably.
"My child..." Dong Fengzhen looked at Beisitian, crying uncontrollably. Despite preparing herself psychologically beforehand, at this moment, the tears couldn’t be controlled.
"Let’s talk inside, let’s talk inside!" Tian Heming kept persuading. The old lady has high blood pressure, a condition that developed when they received news of daughter Tian Meijun’s death. No amount of medication could help, so he was worried she would get too excited and her blood pressure would rise again.
Dong Fengzhen was caught up in her own emotions, ignoring Tian Heming’s words. Tian Lei had a bright idea and whispered to her, "Grandma, let’s go inside to talk. Beibei is timid, don’t scare her."
Upon hearing that, Dong Fengzhen quickly wiped her tears and stopped crying, "Yes, yes, let’s not cry anymore, let’s go inside, it’s cold outside!"
Tian Heming glanced at Tian Lei, snorting coldly, thinking, this brat is only good for coaxing the old lady.
Tian Lei grinned at Tian Heming, earning a glare from him.
Except for the eldest, Tian Qinghui, and the fifth, Tian Qingyao, the other three uncles were all present. There are five uncles altogether, as well as some aunts and uncles. Tian Heming hadn’t called them.
Thanks to the buffer, Dong Fengzhen was still shedding tears inside the house, but her emotions were less intense.
Tian Lei took the New Year’s goods from Luo Xudong’s hands, seeing they were good cigars and alcohol, knowing their thoughtfulness.
Dong Fengzhen talked with Beisitian for a long time, and having such an obedient and pretty granddaughter made her very happy, especially when she called her ’Grandma’, which was truly heartwarming.
Unlike that little temperamental Tian Qiu, who didn’t even know how to act spoiled in front of her grandparent, not cute at all!
"Tonight, Beibei and Xudong have a good meal, and tomorrow you leave Beijing." Tian Heming said.
At Tian Heming’s words, the room fell quiet for a moment.
Luo Xudong glanced at Beisitian, saw her looking at him too, her eyes filled with helplessness, so he said, "Grandfather, you’re too distant. Sitiang knows everything happening at home; we hope to lend a hand."
Luo Xudong’s words made everyone present sigh. The Tian Family is now on the verge of splitting, with those collateral lines that usually flatter the main family now taking the opportunity to break away, leaving them behind, while the granddaughter who had been adrift for over twenty years returns to offer help. This is a testament to the fickleness of human nature!
"It’s enough if Xudong can protect Beibei, we have already made some preparations here." Tian Jun said. As the eldest of the younger generation and now head of the family, he had a say even among the uncles.
"The eldest is right. We appreciate your intentions. As long as you both protect yourselves, I’ll be relieved. Moreover, I’ve heard Beibei is also studying traditional Chinese medicine, right? Grandpa has some ancient books here. I’ll give you some then, our traditional Chinese medicine legacy must not be lost." Follow current novᴇls on novel·fiɾe·net
