Chapter 201 The Precious Stone Lands Its Innocent Possessor in Jail
“d.a.m.n! You are jealous of my beauty, aren"t you?” Tang Cao kicks him suddenly and shouts, “I am so hard to come out to play. How dare I not go home at night? Do you want my mother to lock me up so that you can play with girls outside with your fat face?”
After thinking for a while, Chen Xiaopang says so seriously, “The girls won"t find my beauty unless both you and Tong Yue are locked up.”
“Get out! Your face is not beautiful at all.”
Chen Xiaopang doesn"t agree. He takes out a stack of bills and says, “Look! Although I"m not good-looking, I have lots of money. d.a.m.n! Besides, no one wants to compare with you in terms of beauty. You are so beautiful like a girl!”
“Are you jealous of my beauty?” Tang Cao raises his b.u.t.tocks and asks, “Do you want to have s.e.x with me? Hah, hah.”
They used to fight in jest or for fun. Tong Yue just holds his gla.s.s and sees them. After they are tired and lie there, Tong Yue decides to say something.
“Two dogs, if you"ve finished, let"s come to the point.”
The two people, who lie there tiredly like dogs, turn their heads and look at Tong Yue. They ask, “What? What kind of serious thing do we need to talk about?”
“About your brother-in-law…” Tong Yue doesn"t continue to say because Tang Cao interrupts him.
He asks, “Are you interested in my brother-in-law? Have you ever investigated him?”
Tong Yue has a look at him and says, “Do you forget that a large part of our family"s property is in G City?”
“Tong Yue"s family has a shipyard!” Chen Xiaopang says. He pokes on the screen of computer to choose a song to sing.
Tang Cao gives an oblique look to him and persuades Tong Yue, “My brother-in-law now marries into and lives with our family. He will work for our company in the future and has nothing at present. Why do you talk about him?”
“Who said that he had nothing?” Tong Yue smiles, “He brings projects which are worth 500 million from Lang Consortium.”
When Chen Xiaopang just puts the microphone in front of his lips, he suddenly stares at them and says in shock, “500 million? Is he so rich?”
“Did you lose your ears in the toilet?” Tang Cao throws a pile of melon seed sh.e.l.ls at him and shouts, “They"re projects which are worth 500 million. Do you understand?”
Chen Xiaopang takes the melon seed sh.e.l.ls on his face away and asks, “What do you mean, Tong Yue?”
“I want to make money.” Tong Yue"s eyes glitter.
Tang Cao and Chen Xiaopang take a gasp of astonishment. Chen Xiaopang asks tremblingly, “Did… Did your family find your sinister nature so your father decided to support the illegitimate son?”
“I can"t believe that.” Tang Cao touches his chin and says, “Even if your father treats that illegitimate son well, your grandpa has the say in Tong Family now!”
Tong Yue"s family is a very normal rich family. His parents were married because of commercial profit. They didn"t love each other. Later, when they gave birth to Tong Yue, they began to have their own lives. Tong Yue"s father had a lover outside who gave birth to a son. Three years ago, after his parents divorced, Tong Yue"s father brought his lover and the son back to home.
“That guy is so incompetent and stupid. He always stays with other illegitimate sons. Why does your father still like him? Well, I heard that your father allowed him to go to the company to learn recently. Is it true?”
The ranking of this circle is very strict. Some rich family"s illegitimate sons can only be the lackeys of people like Tang Cao if they want to play with them. But some illegitimate kids are more favored than legitimate kids. So they disdain to play with them.
“You should also ask your grandpa to let you go to the company!” Tang Cao says.
Tong Yue shakes his head and says, “It"s not the right time.”
As the brain of three men, Tong Yue sees two pairs of blank and stupid eyes.
“I want to do it by myself.” Tong Yue has to explain it clearly, “In another word, we can do it together.”
Tang Cao immediately shakes his head and refuses, “I won"t join! I think being a playboy is very promising. So I want to continue to be a playboy.”
“I… I want to join.” Chen Xiaopang weakly raises his hand and says, “I"m afraid that my dad will also bring an illegitimate child back.”
“d.a.m.n! When your father sees your mother, he is so timid which is like a mouse sees a cat. He doesn"t dare to have a mistress unless he wants to be a eunuch.” Tang Cao says. He scratches his hair and asks Tong Yue, “Well, tell us what you want to do first.”
Tong Yue stubs out his cigarette and says, “Can your brother-in-law give us a project, or let us partic.i.p.ate?”
“Well, we must have our own company first.”
“I have already registered. We are all the legal persons.”
“F**k!”
Chen Xiaopang doesn"t see the legendary Yanjing"s first beauty the next day. Because she is taken to the Civil Affairs Bureau early in the morning to get a new marriage certificate. Tang Cao is also called back to accompany her. When the family comes out from the Civil Affairs Bureau, they directly go to the restaurant to celebrate.
Before they finish eating lunch, the news has already been exposed by someone on the Internet.
“Alas, Brother Ruoxian. Your ident.i.ty has been totally exposed.” Tang Cao says. He takes his phone to watch the fun.
On the Internet, there is a group of photos of Lang Ruoxian and Yan Hua who go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and go out of it together. Then it explains the ident.i.ty of Lang Ruoxian clearly. Half of people like him because he is handsome and they want to find a husband like him who can give up his company for love. But others dislike him.
“People who curse you are just jealous of you.” Bai Susu says. She also takes out her mobile phone and reads it.
Some people say that Lang Ruoxian is attracted by the power of the Tang Family. So he marries into and lives with his bride"s family. But some of comments catch their attention particularly.
“They say that my sister is an incompetent idiot and it is worthless to marry such a woman.”
“He also says that although her last name is Tang, the two Tang families are totally different…”
Tang Cao can"t help but uses coa.r.s.e language. He says, “This guy is definitely the fool in our circle. Maybe it is Tang Rui.”
Tang Yao says, “Ruoxian…” Although he is unwilling to accept the fact that his daughter has been taken away by this man, he does not want Lang Ruoxian to dislike Hua because of these rumors.
Lang Ruoxian curls his lips and says, “Dad, I don"t care about that. Mom also said that those people were just jealous. Don"t worry.”
“That"s right!” Tang Yao pats the table suddenly and says, “You have to get used to it. In the future, there will be more ugly words. Because they are jealous of our family.”
Lang Ruoxian nods obediently, which makes his father-in-law have a good feeling on him. When Yan Hua comes back from the bathroom with Gungun, she sees her dad drinking with Lang Ruoxian and patting Lang Ruoxian"s shoulder frequently.
“Well, have a look!” Bai Susu says. She hands Yan Hua the phone. Yan Hua turns it off after having a few look at it.
Because Gungun is here, no one talks about it. Chang Pei"e even claims that her eyes are not good so that she doesn"t look at all.
In a clubhouse, Tang Rui throws his phone away and curses.
“Who asked those stupid people to send these words out? Although my Second Uncle and Tang Cao are stupid, my Second Uncle"s wife is so smart and she must know that someone is behind the scene to do that.”
Bai Yuanfei shakes the red wine in his hand and says, “This is a small thing. It doesn"t matter even if she knows that. Do you know that Lang Ruoxian brings some projects?”
“Someone deliberately released the news. Now all people in Yanjing"s business circle know it.” Tang Rui rubs his eyebrows and says, “That stupid woman is really lucky. She doesn"t die and marries a powerful person.”
Lang Family of G City is the most powerful family in business in the three coastal provinces. Since Lang Ruoxian stood on the land of Yanjing, he has changed the existing arrangements of this circle.
“If he puts the projects of 500 million into the company of second branch of Tang Family, they will be as rich as Hua Family and Tong Family.” Bai Yuanfei smiles strangely, “What did your father say?”
“My dad has been busy in a meeting recently. He has no time to take care of it.” Tang Rui drinks a large sip of wine. He thinks for a while and looks at Bai Yuanfei. He says, “Do you think my aunt will agree if I talk to her to ask for a project?”
Bai Yuanfei raises his eyes and says, “She won"t agree if she is not stupid.”
“Hah… She can"t refuse.” Tang Rui sneers, “If she doesn"t agree, I"ll let my dad directly put the project into the national plan. At that time, Lang Ruoxian can"t fight with the country!”
As the New Year approaches, if people look at Yanjing from the air, they will see the entire Yanjing has turned red. Northerners have more activities in the New Year. Red lanterns are hung on every tree in the streets. The streets are less lively because it is forbidden to let off fireworks. But people can also hear the electronic firecrackers in the shops and various New Year"s songs.
In the evening, Tang Yao and Bai Susu are going to attend the state"s banquet. This is the custom of every year in which the national leader will feast the people of its party, army men, workers and peasants and so on. When they go out, Tang Cao begins to hang lanterns and stick paper-cutting with Gungun.
Gungun asks, “Great-grandma! Is the pony that I cut beautiful?” Chang Pei"e cuts all the paper-cutting pasted on panes. Gungun also want to cut something.
Chang Pei"e sees the strange animal in Gungun"s hand and nods. She smiles, “Yes. Let your uncle stick it on the window.”
“Uncle!” Gungun holds his paper-cutting and runs away happily.
Yan Hua takes a bag and comes over. She says, “Grandma, I"ve prepared all the things.”
“Okay. Sit down and have a rest!” Chang Pei"e takes off her presbyopic gla.s.ses and says, “Your grandpa must be very happy to see you tomorrow.”
On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Tang Family must go to the cemetery. Chang Pei"e doesn"t want her husband to spend a cold and quiet New Year underground. She looks at her beautiful granddaughter. If she could let go of the Tang Family, she would have chosen to accompany her husband.
But she can"t… Tang Family seems to be powerful but actually walks on the edge of the cliff. They will fall into a broken body if they aren"t careful. Before it changes the next leadership team, she must stand firmly in front of the Tang Family.
“I want to let Grandpa look at Ruoxian and Gungun.” Yan Hua adds a cup of tea to her grandma. She says, “He is a great-grandpa now.”
Chang Pei"e"s eyes turn red. She agrees, “Yes. Our family has four generations that live under one roof.”
Early the next morning, the whole family go to the cemetery in the suburbs. Lang Ruoxian and Yan Hua squat in front of the tombstone and make a kowtow. Gungun knew yesterday that they would visit his great-grandpa. He also gives his great-grandpa a kowtow obediently and hugs the tombstone.
In the afternoon, everyone goes back to eat the family reunion dinner in advance. Because Gungun will go to see the live Spring Festival show with Tang Yao.
“Looking at the child. Gungun can"t sit there for a long time. He will come back soon.” Bai Susu tells Tang Yao repeatedly in front of the door. Finally she still worries about them and asks Tang Cao to drive together.
Bai Susu says to her son, “You should wait at the door. Don"t run around.”
Tang Cao is so sad to say, “Mom, am I really your son? You don"t only let me be a driver, but also let me wait them alone at the door of the TV station.”
“You can ask Xiaopang to accompany you!” Bai Susu advises him without any sympathy.
So when Tang Cao arrives at the door of the TV station, he calls Chen Xiaopang immediately.
“What are you doing?”
He hears that Chen Xiaopang is in a very noisy place. Chen Xiaopang yells as if he is a eunuch, “I"m playing in Las Vegas! What"s wrong? Do you miss me? If you kiss me, I will go back to accompany you tomorrow!”
Tang Cao hangs up the phone quickly. d.a.m.n! He forgets that guy has gone abroad to play.
