Chapter 304: The Tragedy of a Lonely Family

After a heavy snowfall, the New Year soon came.,.

A few days ago, because he was facing the spring break, Shao Tian was very busy and dizzy. There were several piles of documents that needed to be approved, as well as endless meetings of various departments, year-end meetings of various branches, etc. He worked overtime until late at night every day.

I wanted to fly to Taipei again to see my daughter, but I couldn't find the time.

Unexpectedly, during the core high-level meeting that morning, he actually received a strange phone call from Taiwan. After a moment of doubt, he raised his hand to signal that the meeting was suspended, and answered in a low voice, "Hello, I'm Shao Tianchi."

"Uncle Shao, hello! I'm Ji Sitong, do you remember me?" From the other end of the microphone, a crisp and childish little girl's voice came, as cheerful as a song.

"Crack!"

The document in Shao Tianchi's hand fell, and he stood up excitedly. Regardless of the dozens of subordinates waiting in the conference room, he walked out quickly, with a smile as bright as the first snowfall on his handsome face, "Tong Tong

Tong! Why is it you? Uncle remembers it, how could he forget you, this little baby?"

"Hehe, Uncle Shao, I was calling you secretly. Daddy bought me a mobile phone and said that I have grown up and can use a mobile phone, so I am very excited to give it to the uncles and aunties who like me.

Please let me know, this is my mobile phone number, Ji Sitong, you can call me directly in the future!" Xiao Tongtong said in a gibbering voice, and you could hear the excitement of a child getting a new gift in his voice.

Shao Tianchi walked to the window in the corner and overlooked the busy traffic under the building. His heart had already flown to Taipei. A smile that could not be concealed appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Okay, uncle, I will make a note of it and I will call you every day.

OK?"

Xiao Tongtong happily agreed, "Okay, but I can't make phone calls while I'm eating, sleeping and bathing. Daddy will be unhappy. If my phone is taken away, it will be over!"

"Why, Tongtong is afraid of daddy?" Shao Tianchi frowned slightly and asked.

Xiao Tongtong smiled and waved her hands, "It's not fear, it's respect. Daddy is always right. I want to listen to daddy."

"Oh, that's it. Then how did you know your uncle's mobile phone number? Did your mommy tell you that?" Shao Tianchi felt a sense of loss in his heart. When could he, a biological father, win his daughter's heart and compare with Ji Mingyu?

?Even if the competition doesn’t go down, at least it must occupy a very important position in my daughter’s heart!

"Mommy hasn't come home yet. It was Uncle Pei and I who asked for the number... Hey, Daddy is calling me. I'll hang up now. Goodbye, Uncle Shao!"

Hearing the "beep" sound from the phone, Shao Tianchi frowned and stood there without moving for a long time.

A trace of melancholy, deep nostalgia, and extreme longing spread from the depths of my heart at this moment...

If it weren't for the fact that he was too busy at work and had no extra time to spend time with his children, he thought, he would not have been able to let Los Angeles stay in New York for so long. The more he experienced this bone-gnawing loneliness, the more it made him feel sad.

Panic, as if his wife and daughter would never come back, and he was abandoned in this city, tossed around alone...

"Mr. Shao, can we continue the meeting?" Qi Feng followed him out at some point. When he saw him standing alone, he couldn't help but ask for permission in a low voice.

Shao Tianchi recovered from his trance, nodded indifferently, and then strode back to the conference room.

After the lengthy meeting, it was already twelve o'clock at noon. I fiddled with my phone for a long time, and finally couldn't help it. I made a call for the first time in the middle of the night in New York.

"Hello?" Luo Shan picked up the answer in his sleep and muttered, "Who is it? It's disturbing my sweet dream..."

"Xiaoshan..."

There was a deep sigh, and there was no more continuation. All Luo Shan could hear was the man's suppressed breathing. Her sleep bug was finally driven away slowly, and her mind became clearer. She turned on the desk lamp and rubbed it vigorously.

He looked at his watch and said, "Tianchi, what's wrong with you? I'm calling at this time. Did something happen?"

"No, I just miss you." Shao Tianchi rarely shows such fragile emotions. He is sitting alone in the spacious office, and his whole body feels deserted, especially during the Spring Festival, when the atmosphere is very strong and there are happy and reunited people everywhere.

At that moment, he still seemed lonely.

"Uh, you..."

"Xiaoshan, can you come back and spend the New Year with me? Tianjun can't come back. Tianqi is celebrating the New Year at her husband's house. Tianlin may spend the New Year with Xiaoya, and I'm the only one left."

Luo Shan was stunned. Shao Tianchi's lonely tone on the other end of the phone made her imagine his expression at this moment. Her nose was slightly sour. She sobbed and said, "I booked a flight back to China tomorrow, from New York to Taipei.

I want to accompany Tongtong to celebrate the New Year at Ji's house, and my parents and Luo Bing will also go to Taipei to celebrate the New Year together. I'm sorry, Tianchi, I'm afraid I can't accompany you..."

"Oh, forget it..." Shao Tianchi reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth, rubbing his sore eyes, and said in a low voice, "Go to sleep, I won't disturb your rest..."

The last note of his voice was so long, from low to low, that the moment he put down his phone, the world returned to peace...

That afternoon, Shao Tianchi worked crazily and didn't even eat dinner. He worked overtime until about three o'clock in the morning, then drove home and fell asleep.



On New Year's Eve, all employees of the Shaw Group began their vacation at noon. Shao Tianchi sent Qi Feng and the driver home early to celebrate the New Year. He continued to finish the work at hand, and then he packed up his things and was the last one to walk out of the company door.

At that time, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Shangguan Jue and Shao Tianqi took turns calling each other, all of them begging him to go to Shangguan's house for New Year's Eve dinner. Shao Tianlin also said that he wanted to spend the New Year's Eve dinner at home, so the two brothers and his mother, who was in a vegetative state, would eat together.

Can he go to his brother-in-law's house? And Dai Xiaoya's family had already invited Tianlin. He didn't want Dai's mother's character to cause any further complications before Tianlin's wedding was held, so he sent her away forcefully.

Tianlin went to Dai's house and Si Binian welcomed him.

I drove to the hospital alone. When Shao Tianxin arrived, three of the four professional caregivers we hired had gone home in shifts. Only one person was left to scrub Shao's mother's body and give her regular muscle massages.

"Mr. Shao, happy New Year." The nurse smiled politely at him.

"Happy New Year, thank you for your hard work." Shao Tianchi nodded, smiled reluctantly, and then sat down by the bed, looking motionless at his mother who was still sleeping.

It was so quiet. After sitting for more than an hour, Aunt Tang called and invited him to go home for New Year's Eve dinner. He responded lightly, then stood up and left.

Generous bonuses were given to the four nursing staff in advance, so he didn't have to worry about them not taking good care of his mother. Moreover, this exclusive ward was equipped with surveillance cameras, and he could see the live video just by connecting to the computer.

Back at the villa in Greenland Paradise, the old and new servants of the family had already prepared the New Year's Eve dinner and were waiting for it. Shao Tianchi looked around and saw several strings of firecrackers on the table. The house was newly decorated and couplets with the word "Fu" were pasted on them.

, there were several lanterns hung up, which gave it a very New Year feel.

However, although there are many people, it is still deserted.

Shao Tianchi imagined the lively Ji family far away in Taipei at the moment, and he grinned with a self-deprecating smile.

Let's say he has a wife and a daughter, but at the time of family reunion, he is alone...

"Uncle Tang, Aunt Tang, please all sit together. I can't eat so much by myself." Shao Tianchi sat down at the main table and greeted several servants.

Aunt Tang quickly refused, "Master, this is not good. We should just go to the small dining table to eat."

"It's okay, come and sit." Shao Tianchi frowned, feeling even more unhappy.

"Oh, okay, thank you, young master."

The four servants sat down with a slight panic, but they had an extremely uncomfortable New Year's Eve dinner, because the eldest young master, who was usually taciturn, was even more silent tonight. He ate half a bowl of rice without saying a word and put it away.

He took off his chopsticks and stood up, "I'm done eating, you can continue eating."

Everyone was stunned...

Shao Tianchi went upstairs and returned to his master bedroom. This villa was given to Tianlin. After the new year, renovations began, and he could not live here for more than a few days.

Looking at the familiar furnishings, he lay down on the big bed, wanting to sleep until dawn. He closed his eyes, but couldn't fall asleep for a long time, so he could only stare at the ceiling, silently thinking about some messy things.

The ringtone on his cell phone rang. He touched it and picked it up, "Tianlin, what's the matter?"

"Brother, I'll go home in a while. I'll bring Xiaoya to our family as well. You wait for us at home!"

"No need, Uncle Tang and I have already eaten. You can stay at Dai's house for a while. Just go home at 12 o'clock to watch the New Year."

"Brother, but..."

"It's okay. What's the difference between Chinese New Year and normal times? Don't think too much about it. That's it. I'm done."

"Hey, big brother..."

Before Shao Tianlin could say anything else, Shao Tianchi cut off the call. His younger brother finally found happiness and was with Meimei. How could he not fulfill his wish?

He got out of bed, took a shower, put on his pajamas and planned to go to bed. As soon as he closed his eyes, his phone rang again. He picked it up impatiently and it was Xie Anran calling.

The text messages were muted. Shao Tianchi glanced at them and saw that he had received nearly a hundred text messages. Without looking at them, he knew they were blessing messages from the bosses of various cooperative companies and employees at all levels.

The ringtone kept ringing, and he hesitated for a long time before picking it up. Before he could speak, he heard a low cry from the other end, "Tianchi, come and pick me up. I lost my bag and now I have no money."

arts……"

"An Ran, where are you?" Shao Tianchi frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"I just came out of T city airport. I couldn't stay at home, so I wanted to come and see you and Luoshan. It turned out to be so unlucky. I'm not familiar with the place in T city. What should I do?" Xie Anran was on the phone.

Cried very sadly.

Shao Tianchi frowned more and more, and scolded displeasedly: "Why are you coming to see us when you are not at home during the Chinese New Year?"

"Wuwu, it's useless for you to train me. I'm already here. What should I do now? Even if you ask me to go back to Beijing immediately, there will be no flight..."
