“At this point, you’re still joking with me!”
Hearing this, Bai Shumin felt even more distressed.
“No, I’m just trying to lighten the mood. Honestly, you’re too timid. You just need to stop being timid. If you don’t like it, just do it. At worst, you’ll lose, but I’ll have your back if you lose. What are you afraid of?”
“As long as you become strong on the inside, you will become a strong person!”
Lu Yang looked at Bai Shumin and said solemnly.
“Alright, with Vice President Lu’s words, I’m reassured. You’ll have to be my strong support from now on!”
After hearing Lu Yang’s words, Bai Shumin nodded heavily. In that instant, she found herself developing a strong dependence on Lu Yang, a dependence similar to Shen Yiman’s.
“No, I can’t become dependent on this guy. He’s not my type!”
Bai Shumin quickly thought to herself. She and Shen Yiman were good best friends and she definitely couldn’t do anything to betray her best friend.
A week later, the scars on Tang Shimin’s face had completely vanished.
“Shimin, look in the mirror. Your face is even more beautiful than before!”
Lu Yang brought over a mirror and said to Tang Shimin with a smile.
“I… I don’t dare. I’m afraid I’m too ugly!”
Tang Shimin lowered her head, not daring to look at the mirror.
“Don’t worry. You should trust my medical skills. Even Meng Hongda, the revered master of Jiangbei City’s traditional Chinese medicine circles, is my disciple. What more do you have to worry about?”
Lu Yang retorted with a smile.
“That’s true!”
Recalling Lu Yang’s words, Tang Shimin finally mustered up her courage, raised her head, and slowly looked into the mirror. Indeed, a flawless face appeared in the mirror. That face was even more delicate and fairer than Tang Shimin’s previous face, just like a baby’s skin.
“This… is this me?”
Tang Shimin could hardly believe herself in the mirror. She instinctively cupped her face with her hands, utterly shocked.
“This is you, Shimin. After these ten days of treatment, your face has no problems whatsoever. Your physical injuries have also all healed. You are completely fine now!”
Lu Yang looked at Tang Shimin and said with a smile.
“Thank you, Lu Yang. Thank you so much!”
Tang Shimin looked at Lu Yang and expressed her heartfelt gratitude.
“You’re welcome. This is what I should do!”
Lu Yang immediately responded with a smile.
“I’m all better now, and I want to go back to work at Tang’s company. I won’t be staying here anymore. I apologize for disturbing you during this time.”
Tang Shimin looked at Lu Yang and, after a few minutes of hesitation, finally spoke.
“Work? If I remember correctly, the Tang family has kicked your entire family out. You can’t go back to Tang’s company now!”
Lu Yang said directly to Tang Shimin.
“What?”
“How is that possible?”
“Tang’s company needs me!”
Tang Shimin looked at Lu Yang in disbelief. She had always considered Tang’s company her ultimate career and was determined to contribute everything to it. However, hearing Lu Yang say that she had been kicked out of Tang’s company made her feel very distressed and unable to accept it.
“If you don’t believe me, you can call your parents and ask them!”
Lu Yang continued.
Hearing Lu Yang’s words, Tang Shimin immediately called Li Xiumei.
“Mom, if you have time, please come to my room!”
Tang Shimin said into the phone.
“I know. You always have the most troubles every single day!”
Li Xiumei snorted disdainfully and hung up the phone.
At that moment, her other phone was live-streaming. Li Xiumei immediately put on a smiling face and said to the dozen or so fans in the live stream, “Dear viewers, I have something to attend to, so I’ll end the broadcast here for today. I’ll take you on a tour of my villa tomorrow!”
After speaking, Li Xiumei turned off the video and walked towards Tang Shimin’s room.
“Shimin, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
After Li Xiumei walked in, she saw Lu Yang there too, her expression changing slightly. She immediately put on a concerned look and asked Tang Shimin.
At this time, Tang Shimin had her back to the door, so Li Xiumei didn’t notice that Tang Shimin’s face had healed. When she walked closer and saw Tang Shimin’s flawless face, which was even more beautiful than before, Li Xiumei was instantly stunned.
“Shimin, your face… your face has healed so thoroughly, it’s even more beautiful than before!”
Li Xiumei couldn’t help but exclaim loudly.
“Lu Yang healed it!”
Tang Shimin quickly said.
“Lu Yang?”
“I didn’t expect you to have some ability!”
Hearing Tang Shimin’s words, Li Xiumei immediately snorted dismissively.
Lu Yang remained silent. If it weren’t for Tang Shimin, Lu Yang would never have allowed Li Xiumei into Cloud Top Villa.
“Mom, has Grandpa kicked our family out of the Tang family?”
Tang Shimin quickly looked at Li Xiumei and asked.
“That old geezer, your grandfather, has always found us an eyesore. He only cares about his precious grandson. As for our family, he doesn’t care if we live or die!”
“However, Tang Zixuan is completely finished. He’ll have to spend the rest of his life in bed. The Tang family has no heir, and Tang’s company will soon go bankrupt!”
Mentioning this, Li Xiumei’s anger flared, and she immediately shouted loudly.
“Oh, Mom, I want to go back and talk to Grandpa properly. Tang’s company is the hope of all Tang family members. I can’t just stand by and watch Tang’s company go bankrupt!”
Tang Shimin said, her heart filled with sadness, looking at Li Xiumei.
“Are you out of your mind? They no longer consider you a Tang family member, and you still want to go back and fawn over them? Are you looking for trouble? If you want to go back, you go. I’m not going!”
Li Xiumei shouted coldly.
“Mom, this isn’t our home after all, and besides, we’ve disturbed Lu Yang for so many days. We can’t keep living here. I’m moving out today, all of us moving out!”
Tang Shimin continued.
“Move out? Move out where? Our house has already been occupied. If we move out now, we’ll have to sleep on the streets!”
“You unfilial daughter, I raised you to be this old, and now you’re making me sleep on the streets. You have such a heartless disposition!”
Hearing Tang Shimin’s words, Li Xiumei immediately started cursing.
“Mom, this isn’t Lu Yang’s home either, but someone else’s territory. If we’re discovered, we’ll implicate Lu Yang!”
Tang Shimin quickly explained.
“So what if we implicate him? He’s already implicated our family for three years. What’s wrong with us implicating him a little?”
Li Xiumei continued to say dismissively.
Lu Yang couldn’t stand it any longer and said to Tang Shimin, “Shimin, you should stay here for now!”
“Oh, alright then!”
Tang Shimin nodded helplessly, but she had already secretly decided to find Tang Yuan as soon as possible and have him restore their family’s status as Tang family members.
“Mom, let’s go to the Tang family villa now and clarify this matter with Grandpa!”
Tang Shimin looked at Li Xiumei and said.
“If you want to go, you go yourself. I’m not going to suffer for nothing!”
After saying that, Li Xiumei twisted her hips and left Tang Shimin’s room.
Helpless, Tang Shimin had to go by herself.
Tang Shimin changed into a set of clothes, her mind already prepared with what to say. As soon as she reached the door, Lu Yang’s BJ100 was already revving its engine.
“Shimin, let’s go. I’ll accompany you!”
Lu Yang looked at Tang Shimin and said with a smile.
Currently, Tang’s company and Haitong Group are still in a cooperative relationship, and Tang Shimin is the most crucial person in this cooperation. As long as Tang’s company doesn’t want to lose Haitong Group’s investment, they wouldn’t dare to truly dismiss Tang Shimin.
