We agreed it was just a hug, why did you actually do it?

Feng Kai and Zhou Xiaoman were both stunned by his question.

They sensed that Su Weile had a question, but they didn't expect it to be this one.

Zhou Xiaoman couldn't help but ask, "Lele, aren't you... scared? Like... what Tang Yi just said about Tang Shaowu being... crazy?"

Su Weile stared in shock and said, "I'm with Tang Shaowu every day, I know him better than anyone."

Yes, he can be extreme at times, and his thoughts might be a bit dark. But he's not crazy. Don't blame him. Anyone who grew up in that kind of family would probably become crazy and extreme, right?

"It would have been better if he had been born into my family."

Feng Kai said with a smile, "What you said reminds me of something Yan Zhengke said a long time ago. They were only teenagers then, I think it was when Tang Shaowu had just come out of the sanatorium. He looked at Yan Zhengke with empty eyes and said: 'They say I'm crazy.'"

Feng Kai gazed into the distance, lost in distant memories. Back then, he and Yan Zhengke hadn't seen Tang Shaowu for a long time; he had only heard from outsiders that the eldest son of the Tang family was ill.

When they met again, Tang Shaowu was different from before. Although he was still cold, his original sharpness and confidence had vanished.

Tang Shaowu said this to Yan Zhengke, then looked at him intently, waiting for his answer.

Yan Zhengke simply glanced at him calmly, then smiled with a hint of disdain and said...

"Don't label yourself so easily. At best, you're just a little bad. You're nowhere near the level of a madman."

I don't know if it started from that time, but when Tang Shaowu was a child, even though they were both older brothers, he only listened to Yan Zhengke.

Su Weile looked at Feng Kai eagerly and said;

"Brother Kai, do you know about Tang Shaowu's childhood? Tell me about it."

Has he been having a really tough time? I even tried to persuade him to be more forgiving so he could be more magnanimous. Magnanimous my foot! I don't want to be forgiving at all now. Why does everyone treat him like that?

Feng Kai sighed and said slowly.

"In fact, in the past, the Tang family was far from being a force to be reckoned with in Jinhai, but Old Master Tang was a man who would stop at nothing to move forward."

One shortcut that allowed their families to grow rapidly in the past was through marriage alliances.

However, the more powerful a family is, the more likely it is to intermarry with others, so it is unlikely that the Tang family can marry into a higher social class.

However, somehow, Master Tang introduced Tang Huai'an to the Jiang family of Jiangcheng. The specifics of the connection remain largely unknown to everyone.

However, afterward, everyone analyzed that the Tang family used some methods, and they must have bewitched Jiang's only daughter, who is Tang Shaowu's mother.

But Tang Huai'an, while not particularly capable, is quite cunning.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Tang Yi and Tang Shaowu are not that different in age at all; in fact, Tang Yi looks much older than Tang Shaowu. Therefore, it's clear that Tang Huai'an was extremely dishonest back then.

Rumors circulated that Tang Huai'an and his current wife conspired to severely harm Tang Shaowu's mother, ultimately driving her to the brink of depression and death.

The specifics are probably only known to the parties involved.

However, one thing is certain: with the help of the Jiang family in Jiangcheng, the Tang family quickly rose to become one of the six major families in Jinhai. They were enjoying immense prestige.

The eldest daughter of the Jiang family suffered from severe depression before giving birth to Tang Shaowu, and it worsened after she gave birth.

She did indeed hurt Tang Shaowu. Later, the Jiang family took Tang Shaowu's mother away, but left Tang Shaowu behind.

Years later, that stunningly beautiful woman still committed suicide.

Su Weile had known about it on and off, but this was the first time Zhou Xiaoman had heard about it.

He stared in shock, his eyes wide, and exclaimed, "My God, the Tang family is terrifying!"

Feng Kai took a sip of his drink and said, "You're only finding out now? You think every family is as warm and harmonious as your Yan family? Let me tell you, in the entire Jinhai, your Yan family is the happiest and most fulfilled. Absolutely unique."

Feng Kai continued, "Tang Shaowu grew up in the Tang family. His father had a new family and a new son, and his grandfather was only focused on his career."

So he was always accompanied only by servants and a butler, oh, that's the current Uncle Xu.

Tang Shaowu was gloomy as a child, but one thing no one can deny is his intelligence.

The old man of the Tang family quickly discovered Tang Shaowu's rare intelligence. It was as if he had discovered a new continent.

Then, to his delight, he began to nurture this grandson who had been neglected, hoping that he could carry on the Tang family's legacy in the future.

This old man had only one thing on his mind his whole life.

Later, Tang Shaowu suddenly fainted and was diagnosed with a brain tumor.

After a series of examinations, the results were all... bad, he might not live long... and then, once again, Tang Shaowu was completely abandoned.

Zhou Xiaoman saw that Su Weile's face turned pale when she heard the words "won't live long".

She immediately said, "But, but isn't Young Master Tang perfectly fine now? And, besides, isn't Yan Zhengke his attending physician? I never heard Yan Zhengke say it was that serious?"

Feng Kai said, "Yes, I also wonder why the Tang family got such a result back then, while Tang Shaowu's condition seemed to have stabilized a lot after he returned to Jiangcheng."

To be honest, I didn't know the exact nature of his condition. Before Yan Zhengke, Tang Shaowu's attending physician was an old man from abroad, who was also Yan Zhengke's mentor.

The specifics are kept very secret; no one else knows.

Su Weile felt his heart clench with pain, and he took a big gulp of wine.

Zhou Xiaoman also felt a little down. He thought to himself with relief that, compared to Tang Shaowu, Yan Zhengke was much happier, both of them were born into wealthy families.

He now understood what Feng Kai had told him before: Yan Zhengke was someone who had seen the wickedness of people's hearts and the dark side of being driven by self-interest since childhood, so it was impossible for him not to be cold-hearted.

Feng Kai thought that while it is said that an unhappy childhood requires a lifetime to heal, many people never escape the shadow of their childhood.

He thought of Zhou Xiaoman from the past. Although she always tried her best to live and seemed optimistic, the sense of helplessness that she couldn't hide and the blankness of having no desire for life were scars left on her by her childhood.

Later, he met Yan Zhengke and received a level of affection he never dared to imagine. Now, he is slowly becoming more confident and radiant.

So what about Tang Shaowu? Tang Shaowu, who has been gloomy and cold-blooded since childhood, has gotten to where he is today through his own strength. But his success and wealth have only made him more insane and ruthless.

Now that he has met such a bright and dazzling Su Weile, could he also step out of the shadows and into the sunlight?

Su Weile endured the pain in her heart, still immersed in the past suffering of Tang Shaowu.

"Brother Kai, did the Jiang family really never intend to take Tang Shaowu back? They ignored him from birth? Where did he live during the time the Tang family completely abandoned him?"

Feng Kai's brows furrowed involuntarily as he thought of that eerie white building.
