Chapter 267
Waiters passing by with tea and water gave curious looks at the two men, accurately speaking, at Tan Xin first, then at Ye Tian. They gazed at the former because he was the owner of this place and at the latter because they couldn’t fathom what sort of person would have the clout to make this scion of the Tan Family sit down for a proper talk. Tan Xin, he was no ordinary individual.
"You really shouldn’t be like this." Ye Tian quietly looked at the outstanding man before him, the most remarkable generation of the Tan Family, an absolute expert in the political arena.
Tan Xin nodded, "Right, I really shouldn’t be like this. If my sister saw this, she would definitely scold me. A man can be worried about anything, but should never fret over a woman. When are you two getting married?"
"It’s not certain yet. Probably around New Year’s Day. She said to keep it low-key. It’s just between the two of us, no need for too many people to know."
Looking at him speak, there was a lot of envy in Tan Xin’s eyes, but not a hint of jealousy. He too had dreamed of such matters, entering the marriage hall with the woman he loved, to be together for life. But the more it went, the more this fantasy faded away. The slaughter in the world of fame and fortune, political gaming, glitters in front of others, and bitterness behind them.
Big families, especially those that began with politics, who doesn’t have lives lost under their name, not to mention during war times, even after the founding of the nation, there were campaigns like the Three-Anti and Five-Anti that cost lives. There are plenty of ways to scheme and backstab in politics; none of these players are simple characters. Therefore, it’s not without reason that these offspring of revolutionaries opt to abandon politics for business. Tan Xin’s choice to take the path of the Min Alliance was also decided by his family, while Tan Xiao focused on business, advancing steadily under the family’s protection. Tan Yaozong steered the Tan Family ship steadily, this helmsman firmly holding the fate of all in his hands.
Everyone in Tianhe City knows that Tan Xin is a young talent, but how many know his brilliance is only set against the invisible darkness behind him?
"Then... I wish you happiness."
