The reason why Liam Tang was called Liam Tang was actually because of Ethan Yang. When this name was given to him, Liam Tang was not yet born, and he had a fate with Ethan Yang in terms of name before he was born.

The name Liam Tang was given by Grace Tang. When Grace Tang was 20 years old, he was doing massage for others and met Alexander Yang, who was in his prime at that time. From then on, he was obsessed with Yang Guo. Despite the opposition of his family, he followed Alexander Yang for three years without hesitation, and later he took the initiative to make the relationship a done deal.

After the meal was cooked, Grace Tang took the ultrasound results and went to find Alexander Yang excitedly, only to find out that Alexander Yang was not Yang Guo, but Chen Shimei. It turned out that in the second year of their relationship, Alexander Yang married someone else and had a child, who was born a few days ago. Alexander Yang's father-in-law was the mysterious driving force behind his rapid rise to fame, so he could not get a divorce.

Grace Tang went to the hospital in tears. She was lying on the bed, but for some reason, she suddenly turned over and sat up, saying that she wanted to give birth to the child. After ten months of pregnancy, she found a place where she was unfamiliar with the place and brought Liam Tang into this world on a rainy afternoon.

Grace Tang was also very stubborn at first. She sent Alexander Yang back several times even though she was pregnant. After she knew that Alexander Yang was Chen Shimei, her tender feelings towards him turned into endless hatred. Whenever Alexander Yang came, she would pick up her slippers and beat him back without any mercy, as if she wanted to beat him back to his mother's womb.

Because Alexander Yang would come to see Grace Tang every once in a while, and he drove the most popular Santana 2000 at the time, he was obviously a rich man. As he came so often, Grace Tang became the topic of conversation among the neighbors.

Grace Tang was a first-rate beauty with her thin curved eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes. She was not fond of gossiping and was rather aloof. She did not interact with her neighbors on weekdays, so she was naturally unaware of the rumors surrounding her. But gradually, Grace Tang became sensitive to the way others looked at her.

Grace Tang had not read much, but she was not stupid. After a little thought, she knew the special meaning in the look, which was probably caused by Alexander Yang. So when Alexander Yang came again, she beat him even harder, took off both slippers, and hit Alexander Yang on his well-dressed suit.

Only once did Grace Tang show a little bit of goodwill to Alexander Yang. That time, she wore slippers, blocked the door to prevent Alexander Yang from coming in, and asked through the crack of the door: "What's your son's name?"

Alexander Yang didn't understand, so he leaned over and asked, "What?"

Grace Tang asked again in a bad mood: "What's your son's name? If you want to tell me, tell me. If you don't want to tell me, get out of here."

Alexander Yang didn't want to leave, so he said, "Call me Ethan Yang, call me Ethan Yang."

"Which Ethan Yang?" Grace Tang asked again.

"The magnificent one."

Grace Tang only had a junior high school education and only knew a few common Chinese characters. She frowned and thought for a long time, but she didn't know which Ethan Yang in Ethan Yanghe was. She slammed the door shut, locking Alexander Yang outside, and said, "Okay, I know, get out now."

As soon as Alexander Yang left, Grace Tang went to the nearby Xinhua Bookstore. She was seven months pregnant and her belly was already very big. The staff of Xinhua Bookstore was about to close the store, but when they saw her, they hurried over to help her and said, "What book do you want to buy? Tell me and I'll help you find it. Is it about prenatal education?"

Grace Tang said no, she wanted to find the Xinhua Dictionary.

After getting the Xinhua Dictionary with satisfaction, Grace Tang went home again with a big belly. She looked at the dim light bulb at home and found the word "Ethan Yang" in "Ethan Yanghe". The dictionary said that "Ethan Yang" means bright and warm, describing the sunrise. Grace Tang pondered over the light bulb, thinking about what name to give that would surpass the word "Ethan Yang". She wanted to find a brighter and warmer word to completely surpass Alexander Yang and the woman's son.

Grace Tang spent half the night looking through the dictionary. After eliminating options such as "炽", "炽", and "亮", she locked on the "赫" in "煊赫". "赫" means grand and bright, and sounds more powerful than "煊". Grace Tang had another flash of inspiration and added a "君" in front of it. "君赫、君赫..." She repeated it several times, becoming more and more satisfied. Finally, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep contentedly.

Alexander Yang naturally didn't know about this. By the time he found out, Grace Tang had already given birth to Liam Tang. Alexander Yang begged Grace Tang, hoping to go in and see his son. Grace Tang had just given birth and her physical condition had not fully recovered. She let Alexander Yang in without paying attention.

Alexander Yang was so overjoyed about his newborn son that he wanted to reach out and hug him, but Grace Tang pretended to take off his slippers and hit him, so he had to retract his hand and gave up. He then asked with a lecherous look whether he wanted him to give the child a name.

Grace Tang hugged Liam Tang, rolled her eyes at him, and told Alexander Yang in a boastful tone that she had already given him a name, Liam Tang.

Alexander Yang was stunned, and asked in a flattering manner, which Jun, which He?

Grace Tang held his head high and said, "The Jun in a gentleman's name is the He in a famous person's name."

Alexander Yang was barely a cultured person, and could even recite a few lines of sour poetry when he was free. He understood Grace Tang's intention as soon as he heard it. He finally got a chance to show off to Grace Tang and commented: "This He is not good, it's too big and too vulgar. How about Jun He, the "He" in "Baihe", the "He" in "Baihe", the "He among men", which sounds nice and elegant, don't you think?"

Grace Tang glared at him and spat fiercely: "Bah, Ethan Yang is not vulgar, but He is vulgar, get out of here, you B@st@ard." After saying this dirty word, Alexander Yang's face turned pale and he walked away angrily.

As soon as Alexander Yang left, Grace Tang took Liam Tang to register his household registration. The person doing the household registration asked, which Jun, which He?

Grace Tang said loudly: "The Jun in the gentleman's name is the He in the famous and renowned name." Then he added, "That's the He in the illustrious and renowned name."

"Oh." The man was busy typing and didn't give any appreciation to the name, which made Grace Tang a little disappointed.

But no matter what, Liam Tang had been involved with Ethan Yang since he was born, no, before he was born. Not only in name, but also in blood. After all, they both have half of the Sc*mbag Alexander Yang's blood flowing in their bodies, and they are half brothers with the same father but different mothers.

This fate, which was brought about before he was born, suddenly took effect when Liam Tang was 5 years old.

One night, Grace Tang was watching TV with the remote control, and happened to turn to the life channel. A psychologist was analyzing the current social situation, saying that children from single parents tend to be introverted and inferior, and are very likely to have psychological problems when they grow up. Grace Tang didn't take it seriously at the time, but later he couldn't help but observe Liam Tang.

The more he observed, the more Grace Tang felt that the expert was right. Liam Tang, this child, really didn't like to talk to people. Other children would play in the mud together, and when they got home, they would inevitably be beaten by their parents. Liam Tang never played with them. He only liked to play alone, or like to pester Grace Tang.

What Grace Tang didn't expect was that it wasn't that Liam Tang didn't want to play with others, but that other people's children didn't like to play with him, and it was the rumors that reached the ears of those children.

Grace Tang attributed Liam Tang's unsociability to the fact that he lived without a father. After much thought, she finally came up with a good idea. She remembered that Alexander Yang said that his wife was a middle school teacher and was in poor health, so she had to go back to her parents' home to escape the heat during the summer vacation. So she thought, take advantage of the summer vacation to send Liam Tang to Alexander Yang so that he can feel the warmth of fatherly love. Although Alexander Yang is a Sc*mbag, he always cares about his son.

Although Alexander Yang is a Sc*mbag, he still has a little conscience. He comes to visit Grace Tang and her son every once in a while, and gives them a reasonable amount of living expenses.

So, the next time Alexander Yang came over, Grace Tang didn't hit him with the sole of her slippers. She went against her usual habit and politely invited Alexander Yang to sit on the sofa at home. Alexander Yang thought that Grace Tang had finally figured it out after all these years and was willing to forgive him. He rubbed his hands excitedly, but he couldn't show it too obviously, so he looked at Grace Tang expectantly.

Grace Tang knew that this request was a bit excessive. After all, she had never given Alexander Yang a good look over the years. She was rarely shy and said hesitantly: "Well, I want to send Jun He to live with you for a while... Didn't you say that there was no one at home during the summer vacation? Jun He has been without a father since he was a child. I'm afraid he will have psychological problems when he grows up..."

Alexander Yang didn't expect that Grace Tang invited him in for this. He was stunned when he heard it: "Ah?"

Grace Tang was so angry when he saw his expression that he stood up and pushed him out the door: "Forget it, forget it, what kind of father are you? Get out of here, as far away as you can!"

As Alexander Yang was pushed out by her, he tried to make up for his behavior: "I didn't say no, I just didn't react... Hey, don't push me, Grace Tang, I really don't mean to object!"

Grace Tang glared at him: "What do you mean?"

"Of course I'm happy to take Jun He to stay with me for a few days, that's it, that's it..." Alexander Yang pushed his glasses and said, "My eldest son is at home. If Jun He calls me dad, I'm afraid he will tell his mother about it... You know, his mother has some mental problems and can't be stimulated..."

"Even if you kneel down and beg me, I won't let him call you dad. Alexander Yang, you really know how to flatter yourself!" Grace Tang looked down on Alexander Yang from the bottom of his heart and raised his voice to scold him.

The matter was settled.

So, when Liam Tang was 5 years old, he first met 6-year-old Ethan Yang. At that time, he didn't know that the little brother in front of him, with his hair standing up and looking like a little model in an advertisement, was his half-brother, Ethan Yang.

That was also the first time he left his mother Grace Tang. Grace Tang personally handed him over to the strange uncle who would beat him away every time he came to his house. Grace Tang squatted in front of him, stroked his soft black hair, and told him to go play with this uncle for a few days, be good, and he would see his mother again soon.

Little Liam Tang cried and refused, grinning and saying he didn't want to go. But it was no use, he was still carried by the uncle to the black car. He cried heartbreakingly, his two little hands helplessly patted the rear window of the car, watching Grace Tang getting farther and farther away from him, gradually turning into a small black dot, and then he could no longer be seen.

As soon as he left, Grace Tang also started crying, and while crying he cursed Alexander Yang, calling him a Sc*m, a beast, a human being, and a son of a B!tch.

She was reluctant to leave Jun He for such a long time, but the TV said that children who grew up without a father will be inferior and introverted, so she could only take advantage of the time when Alexander Yang's wife went back to her parents' home during the summer vacation to send Tang Jun He to the home of his Sc*mbag father and let him feel the warmth of fatherly love.

"The warmth of fatherly love, bullSh!t." Grace Tang looked at the host on TV and spat.

Liam Tang didn't understand Grace Tang's painstaking efforts. He thought his mother Grace Tang didn't want him anymore and gave him to a stranger. The man asked him to call him dad, but he just cried with his mouth open and refused to say anything.

The man held him, took him out of the car, and brought him to a big house. There was a little brother in the house who was a head taller than him, looking at him curiously. He cried so hard that his face was covered with snot and tears. He only thought about Grace Tang and didn't want to pay attention to anyone.

"This is your brother, Ethan Yang," Alexander Yang pulled Ethan Yang over and said to Liam Tang, "He's only one year older than you. From now on, you can play with your brother, okay?"

Liam Tang cried and wiped his tears, saying that he didn't want a brother, he wanted his mother.

Alexander Yang had no choice but to turn to Ethan Yang and say, "This is your brother Liam Tang, the child of Dad's friend. Liam Tang is coming to our house to play for a few days. When Dad is at work during the day, you have to take good care of your brother and don't let him get lost."

Ethan Yang readily agreed, then looked up and asked his father: "Why does he always cry?"

Alexander Yang said: "Your little brother is shy. It's his first time here, so you just need to coax him. I'll go make you something to eat." Alexander Yang handed Liam Tang to Ethan Yang and turned to go to the kitchen. He was troubled by his little son's crying, so he would rather cook than coax the child.

Ethan Yang walked around this doll-like brother again and again, treating him like a little toy, touching his hair, poking his face, and piling all the delicious and fun things on him, but he still couldn't coax this little crybaby.

For the first time in his life, he felt tired. He looked up at the ceiling and shouted, "Oh, why are you always crying!" Then he collapsed on the sofa beside him and fell asleep.

Ethan Yang fell asleep, and no one paid attention to Liam Tang. He was also a little tired of crying, and he cried and fell asleep on the sofa, with his head against Ethan Yang.

When Alexander Yang came out of the kitchen, he saw the two children sleeping soundly. He took pictures of one and called the other, but he couldn't wake any of them up. He had no choice but to carry the two children to the bedroom and let them sleep.
