Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

Normally, people like this would be a bit careless, but she is also very careful. She always remembers that her best friend Xu Hongdou has a bad stomach, so she nags like Tang Seng, reminding her to take care of herself.

The most precious thing was that every time she returned to Kyoto on a business trip, she would go find Xu Hongdou, and while she disliked her slovenliness, she would help her clean the refrigerator, and frown as she brought her wine, reminding her not to drink too much.

Xu Hongdou once asked Chen Nanxing to go to Yunnan together. Chen Nanxing remembered this for a long time, but he never had the time. So it was Xu Hongdou who proposed it, and it was also Xu Hongdou who stood him up.

This led to Chen Nanxing bringing up this matter every time they met, asking Xu Hongdou when he would accompany her to Yunnan. He had been asking this question for three years, including this time, because he wanted to accompany Xu Hongdou to Yunnan during his lifetime to prevent Xu Hongdou from having any regrets.

Similarly, Xu Hongdou's feelings for Chen Nanxing even exceeded her feelings for her biological sister, so when Chen Nanxing was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, Xu Hongdou could not imagine how such a bright, lively and lovable girl could be taken away by God?

Therefore, Xu Hongdou gave up the opportunity for promotion and resigned directly, in order to bring Chen Nanxing to find Han Tao, and then find a job nearby, so that he could earn money to ensure the quality of life of the two of them and take care of her at any time.

The same is true in the original plot. After losing Chen Nanxing, she resigned directly and went to Dali where the two had agreed to go. For a long time, Xu Hongdou would feel sad whenever she thought of her. However, when she mentioned her to others, she would be very happy again. She would cry and then laugh.

How to say it, Chen Nanxing is always living in her most beautiful age, and it is also the time when Xu Hongdou loves her the most. At that time, Xu Hongdou didn't know how long it would take her to completely let go of Chen Nanxing's departure, but what she is sure of is that no matter how long Chen Nanxing is away, he will always be the love of her life.

Chapter 632 Andy's Background

At the entrance of Park Hyatt Hotel, everyone chatted briefly for a while. Seeing that it was almost time, Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing, accompanied by Guan Xiaofan, got on the Coaster. Liu Mingliang then drove away first. Han Tao had to pick up Andy, so everyone agreed to meet at the entrance of the cross-sea bridge.

After the car slowly merged into the traffic flow, Chen Nanxing took the bottle of water handed to him by Xu Hongdou, looked at the bottle cap that was already open, and said:

"Hongdou, I want to discuss something with you, can you please promise me first?"

Xu Hongdou looked at her bestie in confusion, then nodded and said, "Come on, what's the matter? Is it the decision to join Brother Han's company together? I just wanted to talk to you about this too. You should let me know in advance, I..."

"It's other things. As for the job, we'll discuss it in detail when we get there."

Chen Nanxing shook her head and interrupted Xu Hongdou's nagging. There was no rush for the job, after all, Han Tao had already agreed. She wanted to talk about other issues, so she continued seriously:

"Hongdou, I know you care about me and feel sorry for me, but can you please not stop me from doing anything? I'm just sick, not disabled. I can do things within my ability, like opening a bottle cap. You're making me feel like I'm going to die tomorrow."

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, pooh a few times!"

Xu Hongdou looked into Chen Nanxing's eyes, knowing that her best friend was no joke, and also knowing that she had a strong sense of self-esteem, she could only nod reluctantly:

"Okay, but you have to promise me not to force yourself, call me first if anything happens, and don't say anything about life or death.

And you didn't discuss the work with me in advance, and I don't know if your body can handle it. Don't do this next time, understand?"

"Got it. I'll definitely tell you in advance next time. Just think of it as me being willful this time. I'll explain it to you when we get there."

Chen Nanxing did not explain now. She had many considerations about asking Xu Hongdou to join Longi, but it was not convenient to talk about it now.

After she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, she became indifferent to many things. She and Xu Hongdou were not young anymore, so they had to seize the opportunity, otherwise they would have no chance after their youth.

Fortunately, by chance, her symptoms were discovered by Han Tao, and the diagnosis given by the hospital was also in the early stage. Not to mention that there was an old gentleman at the national level willing to treat her, even if she actively cooperated with the treatment from the Western medicine doctor, there was a great chance of recovery. However, Western medicine treatment would hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt yourself by eight hundred, and it was more painful.

Seeing her agree, Xu Hongdou smiled with satisfaction. After that, she confirmed the time with Liu Mingliang and turned to the yawning Chen Nanxing and said:

"I see you're not in a good mental state. Anyway, we have plenty of time, so why don't you get some sleep and rest."

"Okay, I'll stay here for a while. This chemotherapy is such a rip-off. It feels like I've lost half my life after one session. You can chat with Xiaofan for a while, and just call me when you get there!"

As Chen Nanxing spoke, he adjusted his seat to the most comfortable position, then politely greeted Guan Xiaofan:

"Sorry, Xiaofan, I'm a little sleepy. Let Hongdou talk to you while I sleep for a while."

Guan Xiaofan waved his hand and said, "Miss Nanxing, you don't have to be so polite. You are a patient now, so you should rest well. Director Han also specifically instructed us to take good care of you and Sister Hongdou."

"Okay, I'll be polite then. I'll thank Brother Han when we get there!"

After saying that, Chen Nanxing closed his eyes. Perhaps because he was too tired, or perhaps because he was relaxed, he soon fell asleep.

...........................

At the same time, Han Tao had already arrived at the underground garage of Ode to Joy. After making a phone call, Andy walked towards Pullman carrying a suitcase.

Han Tao saw that her expression was not right. Although he forced a smile, he could not hide the depression between his brows, the confusion in his eyes, and the fear.

So after putting away his luggage, Han Tao opened a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Andy, saying with concern, "Andy, I see you're not in a good mental state. Did something happen during my absence in Shanghai?"

Andy looked at the man who could tell at a glance that she was worried about something. Without saying a word, she threw herself into Han Tao's arms and burst into tears, revealing the pain in her heart that could not be concealed.

Seeing Andy like this, Han Tao guessed that she must have received some kind of shock, so he could only stand with his hands raised, and waited until she calmed down before pulling her into the car.

Andy sat in the chair and drank half a bottle of water in one breath before saying, "Han Tao, I saw my father!"

"You said you saw your father? How did you find him, or did he find you?"

Han Tao frowned slightly. Logically, Andy and Wei Wei had broken up because of his appearance and the mistress incident, so he was very confused about how she met Wei Guoqiang.

After all, Wei Guoqiang had known about Andy's existence for a long time, but he had never contacted her on his own initiative, nor had he even met Andy. How could she suddenly appear?

Andy let out a long breath and said with a bitter smile, "I didn't take the initiative to find him, because there has been no news from Old Tan.

It was Wei Wei. He wanted to give me a surprise, so he brought my father to Shengxuan Group. He told me some things about my mother, as well as my grandparents. It turned out that my grandmother and mother both had a history of mental illness.

"So what do you think? Do you want to meet him?"

Han Tao avoided the issue of mental illness history and turned to the matter of recognizing his relatives. After all, he had too many things to do recently and didn't know what stage the plot had reached.

"I don't know either. He said he had his reasons, but I don't think that's a reason to abandon his wife and children. Besides, from what he said, Xiao Ming has nothing to do with him, so I really don't know what to do."

Although Andy did not show anything wrong in front of everyone, the confusion in her heart never went away. She also longed for family affection and longed to have parents, but when she saw Wei Guoqiang, she did not have the slightest good impression of him.

Seeing that she had finished the water in her hand, Han Tao handed her another bottle and asked softly, "Can you tell me what happened specifically? Did he tell you anything?"

Hearing this, Andy nodded and began to tell the story of Wei Guoqiang. It turned out that Andy's grandfather's family was a well-known landlord in the local area. The special background of the times made it impossible for her grandfather to marry a suitable woman, so he could only marry a mentally abnormal woman who had fled from famine in other places and had Andy's mother.

Wei Guoqiang came to Daishan, fell in love with Andy's mother and got married. However, the country later resumed the college entrance examination, and Wei Guoqiang was admitted to a university in Shanghai. Andy's mother supported him to study.

Andy also questioned Wei Guoqiang why he abandoned his mother. Wei Guoqiang said that Andy's mother had a hereditary mental illness and accidentally fell into the water and had a low fever ever since.

He also accompanied Andy's mother to seek medical treatment and medicine everywhere, but there was no improvement, and her mother's mental state became increasingly unclear. Unable to bear it, Wei Guoqiang cruelly left her.

However, Wei Guoqiang said that when he left, he didn't know that Andy's mother was pregnant, and Andy's grandfather also fled Daishan and has been living with Wei Guoqiang for the past 30 years...

After listening to Andy's narration, Han Tao said seriously, "Andy, with your super logical thinking ability, don't you find some of this absurd?"

"What's irrational? My mind is really confused right now. I think I'm about to have a seizure!"

Andy grabbed her hair in pain. She was extremely confused now, and her mind was full of thoughts about whether she would also become a psychopath. She had been worried and suspicious before, and now her suspicion was confirmed.

........................

Chapter 633 Enlighten Andy

Seeing Andy's painful expression, Han Tao knew that she was under too much mental pressure, so he guided her and asked:

"Andy, the most important thing you should do right now is to calm down and think carefully. Are you sure that your grandmother and your mother both have that kind of mental illness? Can you be sure that their illnesses are caused by genetic factors?"

"No, I was very young at the time and didn't understand any of this. I only vaguely remember that my mother went insane later. But I've already done research, and the chance of inheriting mental illness in an immediate family is 46.3 in 100."

After saying that, Andy's expression became even more confused. She couldn't remember many things at that time. She only knew that she and her mother left her grandmother's house and wandered around, and she had almost no memory of her grandmother.

Han Tao held her hand, shook his head and said, "Andy, it seems that you are not sure whether there are certain genetic factors in your family, right?

And you don't know why your grandmother is sick, so we can't just listen to Wei Guoqiang's one-sided statement and conclude that your mother's illness is hereditary.

You don't know much about China. The era they lived in was quite special. There were many things that could cause a person to have a mental breakdown, such as severe stimulation, which is not necessarily a hereditary mental illness.

And I can clearly see one thing from your description, that is, your mother didn't have a mental illness from the beginning. Otherwise, how could Wei Guoqiang, a young talent who came to Daishan from Shanghai, fall in love with a mentally ill person? And why did she suddenly develop a mental illness after so many years without any symptoms?

Andy looked at Han Tao, frowning as he replied, "I've already discussed this issue. Wei Guoqiang said my mother fell into the water and has had a high fever ever since."

"That's the problem. Why did such an outstanding person choose to be with your mother after returning home? You have to know that few people who could leave the countryside at that time would return. Did your mother really fall into the water accidentally?

If he didn't accidentally fall into the water but committed suicide by jumping into the river, that would be completely different. According to Wei Guoqiang, your mother supported him in taking the college entrance examination and even waited for him to go to college. This at least shows that before that, your mother's mental state had no problems. Then why did she suddenly jump into the river when Wei Guoqiang was in his senior year?

Even if your mother really did fall into the water accidentally, and then had a high fever for a month, followed by a long period of low-grade fever, and then her mental state was completely broken, then when did your mother give birth to you?"

"this…………"

Andy was stunned. Her attention was previously focused on what Wei Guoqiang said about her father having mental problems, so she ignored how and when she came into this world.

However, Andy had an excellent memory and immediately remembered what Wei Guoqiang said. He returned home only after receiving a notice from the village when he was in his senior year, and he also found a doctor to treat his mother, which meant that his mother was not pregnant before that.

Otherwise, when the doctor examined my mother, he would not have been unaware of her pregnancy, and Wei Guoqiang would not have been unaware of his existence. Based on this inference, my mother must have become pregnant with me a year after she fell ill.

If things were really as Wei Guoqiang said, and his mother's mental state had been poor since she fell into the water, then Wei Guoqiang would have been too scared to be intimate with a mentally ill person and even make her pregnant?

But what Wei Guoqiang said was not true, so there was only one possibility, that is, the mother was stimulated by Wei Guoqiang's sudden disappearance after she became pregnant, which eventually led to a mental breakdown, because only this explanation is more reasonable.

Thinking of this, Andy felt his mind was in a mess. He asked, "Han Tao, if he was lying, then why did Wei Guoqiang run away after my mother became pregnant? Was it really because of my mother's mental problems, or did he simply run away because he didn't want my mother and me?"

"That's what I wanted to ask. According to my reasoning, he most likely abandoned you both during your mother's pregnancy, or after she gave birth to you. This is why your mother suffered from postpartum depression, and no one took her seriously, which eventually led to her developing a mental illness.

After all, there are many such cases. Many mothers do not receive attention and timely care from their families or loved ones, so they become increasingly stressed and develop postpartum depression. In the end, some commit suicide, and many are even diagnosed as mentally ill.

When Andy heard these words, it was like grabbing a life-saving straw. She excitedly shook Han Tao's hand and said, "You mean, my mother's disease is not necessarily genetic, right?"

Han Tao nodded and said with a gentle smile, "Yeah, don't you think it was ridiculous that you always suspected you had a hereditary mental illness? Don't be subjective about anything, otherwise you'll drive yourself crazy."

"Really? If you hadn't helped me analyze it, I would have driven myself crazy!"

Andy smiled, but frowned again as soon as he finished speaking. "But you can't rule out the possibility that I have this gene. And there's Xiao Ming's problem, right? So..."

"No, Andy, you're wrong. Xiao Ming has genes from his father as well as your mother. And Xiao Ming isn't mentally ill, he's autistic, and the recovery is looking pretty good!"

Han Tao interrupted Andy's speculation and directly dispelled her concerns: "Even if what you said makes sense, the probability of you being ill is only about 10%. Because when you were the same age as your mother and your grandmother, you didn't show any mental problems. This just proves that your mother's mental illness is not hereditary, but caused by psychological stimulation.

So you need to relax, don't scare yourself, and definitely don't wrap yourself up in layers. You can enjoy life like most people, have your own family, and have a relationship. Don't leave regrets for a hundred years."

Andy nodded seriously, revealing a relaxed smile as he said, "I can accept your logic, but I still can't completely rule it out. So, I'm going to accumulate more capital for myself and Xiao Ming in the future. As for starting a family, forget it. I don't want to hurt anyone or myself."

"Although we can't rule it out 100%, we shouldn't be too concerned about it. Society is stressful these days, and everyone may have some mental illness, such as common depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, mysophobia, and so on.

Moreover, according to scientific statistics, if both parents suffer from mental illness, the risk of developing the disease is 50%, and if only one parent suffers from the disease, the chance of inheriting the disease is 13%, so there is really no need to worry too much."

"Han Tao, I see you're not just a lawyer, you're also a psychiatrist. How do you know everything? Are you some kind of superhero hiding by my side?"

Andy unexpectedly made a joke, and the heavy stone that had been weighing on his heart finally relaxed a little.

The hereditary mental illness is like a time bomb, tormenting her all the time, so she is too obsessed with efficiency in doing things, hoping to do as much as possible before she gets sick.

But after listening to Han Tao's analysis, she felt that she could slow down a little, take Xiao Ming to see the beauty of the world more often, and even have a passionate love affair. It didn't matter whether they got married or not.

Thinking of this, Andy couldn't help but stare at the man in front of him in a daze. An indescribable feeling deep in his heart also grew stronger and gradually occupied a large position.

........................

Chapter 634 Analysis of inheritance issues

Han Tao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Andy gradually regain his sanity and no longer dwelling on the idea that he was mentally ill.

Andy is a rare helper and a good friend. Han Tao doesn't want her to drive herself crazy.

"Andy, let me help you analyze Wei Guoqiang. I think his purpose in looking for you, whether good or bad, is impure. It's definitely not as simple as Wei Wei pulling him here!"

Hearing Han Tao's words, Andy nodded and said, "I feel the same way. It seems like he doesn't know nothing about me. What do you think about this?

I've been feeling confused lately, so please help me analyze it. After all, I don't really understand the social etiquette and intrigues in China."

Han Tao pondered for a moment and responded, "You said that Wei Wei went to find you first and asked Wei Guoqiang to wait at the front desk, but he suddenly showed up uninvited and even told you a lot about your mother.

It seems that he was prepared, and he said that he had looked for you, so he must have known that you were in Shengxuan Group a long time ago. After all, Wei Wei could find him, so with his status and position, it is impossible for him not to find you.

But he hasn't seen you yet. If a father really wants to see his daughter, he'll take action as soon as he gets the news. Just like when you heard Xiao Ming's whereabouts, you went to Daishan to call him immediately. How could you wait until Wei Wei showed up before coming?"

"That makes sense. So what's his real purpose? Considering his net worth, he shouldn't be attracted by my small assets, right? Apart from these, I don't have anything else worth peeping at."

"This could be related to your grandfather, or his current marital status, or finances. Inheritance is especially concerning, as it's the root cause of many family feuds and even brothers becoming enemies.

Your grandfather, He Yunli, is a well-known painter. I just checked, and some of his fine paintings are worth at least several million, and some can be auctioned for tens of millions. This doesn't include the real estate and collections he owns, which together are worth tens or even hundreds of millions. Take a look."

After that, Han Tao handed the tablet computer in his hand to Andy. On it were some information that Han Tao had asked someone to investigate before. Not to mention He Yunli's antique calligraphy and paintings, his real estate alone was worth more than 1 billion yuan, including a courtyard house in Beijing, a villa in Shanghai, and a top-level residential building. The cheapest one was located in the same community as Wei Wei, and it was also worth hundreds of millions.

Andy frowned as he read the information and asked in confusion, "But what does this have to do with me? I'm not greedy for these things, and they have nothing to do with me. They already have him."

"How can this have nothing to do with you? After all, these are all your grandfather's things, although our country's laws stipulate that granddaughters themselves have no inheritance rights.

But since your mother has the right of inheritance and has passed away, you can inherit by substitution, that is, enjoy the inheritance right on behalf of your mother.

Although in the distribution of the estate, people who provided more support to the elderly during their lifetime will also have the right to inherit part of your mother's estate, and your grandfather also lived with Wei Guoqiang for many years, but Wei Guoqiang remarried, so this is no longer legally valid.

So the probability of the inheritance falling into your name is the greatest. Then the question arises: if you also have a hereditary mental illness, or even have an attack or related symptoms, will the guardianship fall into Wei Guoqiang's hands?

Andy looked at Han Tao in shock, and continued to ask with a puzzled look on his face, "Why did he do this? He couldn't have told me about the inheritance. He took care of my grandfather for so long, wouldn't it be easy for him to get the will?"

"If he and his wife were at odds, or even wanted a divorce, do you think my inference would be reasonable?"
