‘Tang Boyan’s expression stiffened. He sighed softly and said, “She… Forget it. It’s not like you don’t know. She only knows how to do strange things all day. It’s good enough that she doesn’t embarrass our Tang family.”
“Sigh, every family has its own difficulties. Third Miss has always listened to you. If you reprimand her, she will definitely realize her mistake.”
Luo Zhenlu had heard about this before. He paused for a moment before continuing, “Look at how obedient Third Miss used to be. She must have been influenced by someone, right?”
Even though he did not say it explicitly, everyone present knew who he was referring to.
“Brother Luo, you’re right. However, No. 3 is very loyal. No matter what I say, she’d stubbornly persist in her ways than look back. Let’s wait and see.”
‘Tang Boyan said helplessly. This would have been a good quality for any other person, he thought.
Unfortunately, she had taken a fancy to a useless piece of trash.
And it was second-hand.
What’s so good about him?
He suspected that Lu Yaohua had bewitched No. 3.
Seeing that, Luo Zhenlu knew that Old Master Tang could not persuade his third daughter to turn back. He consoled him, ‘One day, she will grow up. In the future, she will understand your good intentions.”
Good intentions?
‘Tang Boyan sneered inwardly. He was not willing to help so many times. It was good enough that the other party did not hate him.
“Thope so.”
“Alright, I think it’s about time. I’ll make a move first. Old Wei is still waiting for me!”
“Please see my guest off.”
He said this to a servant not far away. He watched his good friend’s back view gradually disappear and pursed his lips tightly, lost in thought. Old Luo actually managed to establish ties with Old Wei in such a short time. It seemed like he had made a lot of money recently. As for a few billions?
In his opinion, Old Luo had excluded a few more zeros.
There’s no need to pretend to be humble in front of me. It’s not like I can’t tell.
You’re such a wily old fox, he thought.
“No. 5, what do you think?”
‘Tang Yajing walked out and said calmly, “Third Sister is useless, but this is her choice. Mr. Luo has other thoughts about you.
Otherwise, why didn’t he tell the truth?”
“Such as?”
“The Tang family has no heir. Maybe they can replace us as a new influential family.”
Old Master nodded in satisfaction. “That’s right. Most people outside think so! What do they mean by no heir? I, Tang Boyan, have stabilized my position in the business world for so many years. Want to pull me down? Dream on! How could I let them have their way?!
They can give it a try! I want to see how many people they can bite off!”
Although there were many wrinkles on his face, his eyes were shockingly bright!
This was the leader of the Tang family!
‘Tang Yajing’s lips curled up. Do they really think we’re sick cats if we don’t show our might? she thought.
“Old Master, you’re so spirited. You still have that imposing attitude of your younger days!”
‘The youngest sister had been asked to stay, so how could the other sisters leave willingly? So they only stayed in the garden outside for a while. They did not expect to hear the Old Master’s bold words as soon as they returned. As the eldest sister, Tang Nishang was the first to react.
‘Tang Rongrong was next. “Old Master, you’re still young!”
“Old Master is so energetic. Who would dare to provoke you?”
Finally, it was Tang Wanxi who said this in a hurry. Then she glanced at the others and thought to herself, It used to be my fourth sister who reacted the slowest. Why is her brain working so fast today?
If No. 4 knew what she was thinking, she would definitely have said, ‘I’ve just been scolded. If I don’t redeem myself, I may get grounded for an extended period of time. This is all for the sake of having fun!”
‘The old man did not intend to reprimand them for their behavior. After all, although he thought highly of No. 5, he was also happy with the competition among them. The Tang family needed a person with ambition!
He glanced at each of their faces and said, “Looks like you guys still have brains.”
If they really left their brains at the door, he would have to consider if there was a problem with the way he raised them. Otherwise, why would they be so stupid?
Before they could heave a sigh of relief, they saw Butler He walking in hurriedly. He first greeted the old master and straightened his back. “Hello, missies.”
They nodded slightly.
“Old Master, while doing market research, I discovered something incredible, so I specially came to report to you. This concerns Third Miss’s husband.”
Unbelievable?
Lu Yaohua?
Old Master’s expression immediately turned cold. ‘Why is it him again? What did he do?”
“Based on the current information, the new energy vehicle and the rumored flying vehicle are both from the same person. And that person’s name is He Xiaopeng. His previous profession was Internet-related.”
Butler He glanced cautiously at the grim expression of the old master and continued, “He resigned because he wanted to switch careers. Not long ago, he went to the Lu Corporation to pull in investments, but he was chased away by a professional manager. The project was a new energy car.”
22?
Lu Yaohua had personally thrown out such a big project?
The others looked shocked at first, but then they suppressed their laughter. Is he a f*cking idiot? they thought.
If Lu Yaohua had handled this matter well, perhaps Old Master would really return the Lu Corporation to him. Now, not only would he be punished, he might even be demoted.
No. 3 was done for!
‘Tang Nishang’s face twitched. “Old Master, No. 3’s husband is really capable! Those who don’t know might even think that our Tang family is a family that treats money like dirt! If word gets out, they would definitely say that we have a fool in the family.”
“This is a big project! If Lu Yaohua didn’t chase him away, everything—whether it’s money or reputation—would be ours now. Why did Third Sister fall for this person?”
‘Tang Rongrong really did not understand. She thought, How could someone with a normal brain do such a thing? To think that I’ve previously treated Third Sister as an opponent. Now it seems that I’ve overestimated her. Even if I don’t do anything, Third Sister could still sabotage herself.
“No. 3 is really crazy. We were easy on them the previous few times. No matter what, we’re family. The Lu Corporation is already the Tang family’s property. Lu Yaohua’s actions not only damaged our family’s reputation, but also caused us to lose money. Old Master, how do you think we should punish him?”
Tang Wanxi directly linked the interests of the family to this matter. She knew that the old man’s bottom line was the family. Since Lu Yaohua had done this, she was afraid that things would not go well for him this time..
