The Tang Family’s Seven Os - Chapter 149
When Sun Yu Ming came over and saw Xia Cheng Lang coming to see Tang Liu Yuan again, he couldn’t help but frown slightly and said in a somewhat deep voice: “This gentleman, please don’t come to bother Liu Yuan again.”
He had seen Xia Cheng Lang pestering Tang Liu Yuan with his own eyes yesterday, and when he saw him here again this early in the morning, with a displeased look on his face, he naturally thought that he had come to pester Tang Liu Yuan and had been turned away, which was why he had such a dark face.
Xia Cheng Lang already had fire in his heart, and was immediately irritated by his tone as if he was informing him of sovereignty first, the calmness that he had a hard time accumulating over the years disappeared instantly.
He raised his eyebrows, looked impatiently at Sun Yu Ming and asked: “In what capacity are you warning me?”
Sun Yu Ming laughed in disbelief, “You should ask yourself in what capacity are you here? A patient?”
Xia Cheng Lang remembered Tang Liu Yuan calling himself ‘a patient’ in front of Sun Yu Ming yesterday, his face instantly sank as he stared at Sun Yu Ming and said: “I’m his boyfriend.”
Sun Yu Ming laughed, simply thinking he was talking nonsense, “Oh? A boyfriend who hasn’t been around for five years? I’ve known him since I was in college, but I’ve never seen you around him, let alone heard him mention you.”
Xia Cheng Lang’s face sank even deeper as Sun Yu Ming’s words not only reminded him of the five years that had passed between him and Tang Liu Yuan, but also flaunted the fact that Sun Yu Ming had been by Tang Liu Yuan’s side for five whole years.
Seeing that he was speechless, Sun Yu Ming went over to him and patted him on the shoulder, smiling, “This gentleman, it’s fine for you to pursue Liu Yuan, but don’t be a nuisance1胡搅蛮缠 (hú jiǎo mán chán): an idiom, means to unreasonably harrass., and don’t be an fool talking about dreams2痴人说梦 (chī rén shuō mèng): an idiom, Originally it means to tell a demented person a dream and the demented person believes it to be true; later it is used to describe nonsense based on imagination. It is usually used as an object in a sentence with a derogatory meaning., affecting Liu Yuan’s reputation, are you able to take responsibility?”
Xia Cheng Lang grabbed Sun Yu Ming’s collar, “Who are you calling a fool talking about dreams?”
His temper had improved over the years, but not so much that he could tolerate other people meddling between him and Tang Liu Yuan.
Zhu Xue stood by and watched for so long that she was too frightened to breathe, and only when she saw that they were really going to fight did she rush forward to advise: “Mr Xia, calm down, this is a hospital, you should not be impulsive.”
Sun Yu Ming frowned and looked at Xia Cheng Lang’s sinewy arms and said: “Sir, if you keep being unreasonable like this, I’ll have to call security.”
As Sun Yu Ming said this, he tried to take out his mobile phone to call security. Zhu Xue saw that the situation was not good and quickly ran into the room to find Tang Liu Yuan, calling out in panic: “Dr. Tang, it’s not good! Mr. Xia and Dr. Sun have gotten into a fight!”
Tang Liu Yuan’s complexion changed, he quickly put down the pen in his hand, and walked out quickly with a sullen face. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Xia Cheng Lang and Sun Yu Ming pulling each other’s collars with ruthless expressions on their faces. He hurriedly stepped forward and pressed Xia Cheng Lang’s wrist, he whispered: “Calm down, let go of your hand.”
“What is the relationship between you two?” Xia Cheng Lang’s cheeks reddened and his gaze tightened on Tang Liu Yuan, as if he would not let go until Tang Liu Yuan answered.
Chen She had finished his breakfast in the ward and had wanted to come out for a walk and drop by to help Xia Cheng Lang say a few good words to Tang Liu Yuan, but when he came over, he saw this scene. He hurriedly hid in the corner and grabbed the opportunity to watch the show.
What kind of mensao3闷骚 (mèn sāo): an internet buzzword, it refers to a people who look quiet, cold or even dull outside, but inside they are volatile, charismatic, hot and sexy. it may also be used to describe a person’s duplicitous personality, but mostly in the eulogistic sense. old man stealing his wife back home war is this?
Tang Liu Yuan’s brows knitted together and he said in a deep voice: “Xia Cheng Lang, quickly let go, it’ll be caught on camera by the reporters!”
“Are you defending him? You’re afraid I’ll hit him? Just what is the relationship between you two?” Xia Cheng Lang was overwhelmed by jealousy, and his first reaction was that Tang Liu Yuan didn’t want him to hit Sun Yu Ming, Tang Liu Yuan was worried about Sun Yu Ming, and for a moment his heart sank to the bottom, and his voice couldn’t be sunk any deeper.
However, Sun Yu Ming heard Tang Liu Yuan’s worries about Xia Cheng Lang, he couldn’t help showing hesitation, and the strength in his hands loosened involuntarily.
Tang Liu Yuan’s brow furrowed even more as he looked up at Xia Cheng Lang, their eyes met in the air, and Xia Cheng Lang stared at him. In his dark eyes, he couldn’t see anyone else, his eyes were deep, seeming like he will not give up until he gets an answer.
Tang Liu Yuan knew that Xia Cheng Lang would really hit Sun Yu Ming on impulse, so he took a breath and said: “Dr. Sun is my colleague and my senior, we have no other relationship, Xia Cheng Lang, don’t make a scene.”
Hearing the familiarity in Tang Liu Yuan’s tone, Sun Yu Ming was stunned for a moment before he realised that Tang Liu Yuan and Xia Cheng Lang might actually know each other, and with a slight hesitation, he took the lead and let go of his hand.
Xia Cheng Lang was still tugging at Sun Yu Ming’s collar and did not let go, so Tang Liu Yuan glared at him, “Let go!”
After hearing Tang Liu Yuan’s explanation, Xia Cheng Lang was already in a better mood, and under Tang Liu Yuan’s forced stare, he finally reluctantly let go of his hand as well.
Sun Yu Ming straightened his clothes and asked with an unchanged expression, “Liu Yuan, you knew each other before?”
“En.” Tang Liu Yuan replied, still frowning at Xia Cheng Lang.
“You quickly tell him who I am to you.” Xia Cheng Lang could not stop the anger in his heart when he remembered Sun Yu Ming saying that his identity was ‘a patient’, and wanted very much to quickly prove his relationship with Tang Liu Yuan, so that Sun Yu Ming would not have any more delusions about Tang Liu Yuan.
Although Tang Liu Yuan had just said very clearly that he and Sun Yu Ming had no other relationship, but the way Sun Yu Ming looked at Tang Liu Yuan, he knew at first glance that Sun Yu Ming liked Tang Liu Yuan and he could not take it lightly.
Sun Yu Ming raised his eyebrows slightly and said to Tang Liu Yuan: “He said you are his boyfriend.”
Tang Liu Yuan wrinkled his brows and turned his head to look at Xia Cheng Lang.
Xia Cheng Lang had no guilty conscience, “You promised me back then that if I could get into the same school as you, you would be with me, my acceptance letter was sent to you five years ago, so you were my boyfriend since five years ago, you can’t break your promise.”
Although he didn’t get to attend that university, he was enrolled in the same university as Tang Liu Yuan and had fulfilled his promise.
When Sun Yu Ming heard that they had known each other for so long, his expression changed. He thought back to these two meetings, Tang Liu Yuan’s attitude towards Xia Cheng Lang seemed cold and distant, but it seemed that there was always an indefinable atmosphere between them that he could not interpose. In all these years, he had never seen Tang Liu Yuan’s mood change so much towards anyone, and Xia Cheng Lang was undoubtedly a special presence.
When Tang Liu Yuan heard Xia Cheng Lang’s words, he lowered his eyes slightly and sighed inaudibly, then looked at Xia Cheng Lang and said softly in a breezy voice: “I lied to you ah.”
“What?” Xia Cheng Lang was stunned for a moment.
Tang Liu Yuan looked at him, the corners of his lips curving up into a cold curve, “If you can lie to me, why can’t I lie to you?”
Xia Cheng Lang’s face instantly turned sullen, as if all the fire in his body had been extinguished by a basin of water from Tang Liu Yuan. He knew that what Tang Liu Yuan said was not true, but his heart still ached uncontrollably.
He suddenly realised that he had no business being jealous, that he had lied to Tang Liu Yuan, that he had left Tang Liu Yuan for five years, that he had given Sun Yu Ming the opportunity to enter Tang Liu Yuan’s life, and he unconsciously took a step back and reached out to wipe his face.
Tang Liu Yuan’s eyelashes trembled imperceptibly as he turned his head to look at Sun Yu Ming, “Senior, do you have materials for me?”
Only then did Sun Yu Ming remember that he still had his medical records in his hand, nodding his head and saying: “That’s right.”
“Let’s talk in the office.” Tang Liu Yuan took the lead and walked back to the office with his head down, and Sun Yu Ming hurriedly followed.
Xia Cheng Lang moved, but in the end, he did not follow, it was him who had been impulsive just now.
Zhu Xue was still in shock that Tang Liu Yuan and Xia Cheng Lang had known each other for a long time and had a very close relationship. Seeing that everyone had dispersed, she hurriedly went back to the nurses’ station to gossip with her colleagues.
The always cold Dr. Tang had a past relationship with the Xia family head, this is big news!
Back in the office, Tang Liu Yuan took the medical records in Sun Yu Ming’s hand, looked at them absentmindedly, then put them aside and looked up to Sun Yu Ming and said solemnly: “Senior, I’m sorry, I apologise to you on his behalf.”
“You’re apologising on his behalf?” Sun Yu Ming’s voice was a little hesitant as he glanced at Tang Liu Yuan, as if he wanted to discern something from his face.
“……En.” Tang Liu Yuan nodded his head.
Sun Yu Ming understood, and after a moment of silence, said with some despondency: “Turns out there has been someone in your heart all these years, no wonder so many people have pursued you but you rejected them all.”
Tang Liu Yuan didn’t deny it, just lowered his head and said, “Senior, I’m really sorry about today.”
“It’s alright, luckily no real action was taken. Today, it was me who didn’t understand the situation and spoke blindly to anger him.” Sun Yu Ming’s tone remained calm and peaceful as he smiled and said: “The relationship you have with him now……you want to be with him?”
Tang Liu Yuan shook his head and said softly: “I don’t know either……”
Sun Yu Ming did not ask more questions, generously patted his shoulder and said: “No matter what, I am your senior, you can formally introduce him to me sometime.”
“En.” Tang Liu Yuan smiled and nodded.
The two men’s eyes met and smiled at each other at the same time. Sun Yu Ming knew he had no chance at all, Tang Liu Yuan had divided his relationships very clearly, Xia Cheng Lang was one of his own and he was an outsider.
He stood up and said: “Then I won’t disturb you anymore and go back to work first.”
Tang Liu Yuan got up and personally escorted him out, “Take care, Senior.”
As he closed the door, he swept a glance in the direction where Xia Cheng Lang was standing just now. Xia Cheng Lang was still standing in the same place, as if he hadn’t moved. Chen She appeared out of nowhere and ran to Xia Cheng Lang’s side, not knowing what he was talking about.
Tang Liu Yuan only took one look before withdrawing his gaze and closing the door again.
Chen She looked at his brother Xia’s dark complexion and asked with some concern: “Are you alright, Xia Ge?”
Xia Cheng Lang glanced at him and his eyes twitched, but his lips remained pursed and he did not say anything, a glance showed that the blow was not small.
Chen She quickly persuaded: “Xia Ge, don’t worry, I’ll help you find out the information about your rival, no matter how good or powerful he is, I believe Liu Yuan still remembers old feelings and likes you more, even if your love rival is his senior, even if your love rival has the same job as him, even if they have a common language, even if they have a feelings of so many years…”
Xia Cheng Lang finally looked up at him, “I advise you to shut up now before I beat you up.”
“……” Chen She hurriedly silenced his voice and made a gesture of sealing his mouth.
Xia Cheng Lang gave him an unhappy look and pulled out a cigarette and went to the balcony.
Chen She watched Xia Cheng Lang walk away and couldn’t help but sigh, inexplicably feeling that the back view of Xia Ge was very lonely.
He had never seen Xia Cheng Lang look so depressed before, so he gritted his teeth and turned towards Tang Liu Yuan’s office.
He decided to plead with Tang Liu Yuan. After all, he was one of the people who was in cahoots with Xia Cheng Lang back then, and he also had responsibility, if he watched them go on like this, he would be depressed.
