Half an hour later!
The two arrived at the Tang family's old mansion, where many of Tang Xinwan's relatives had already gathered.
Her uncle's family was among them. Upon seeing Ye Cangtian beside Tang Xinwan, Uncle Tang Yongchang immediately put on a grim face and snorted, "Xinwan, why did you bring an outsider to our home?"
Tang Xinwan glanced at everyone, then pulled Ye Cangtian forward. She said, "Uncle, elders, this is my fiancé, Ye Cangtian!"
The statement surprised all the Tang family members present, who scrutinized Ye Cangtian from head to toe.
After all, everyone knew that Tang Xinwan had been single for many years. In the past, the elder generation had introduced many young talents to her, but Tang Xinwan, with her high standards, had rejected them all.
Therefore, everyone wanted to see what made the fiancé Tang Xinwan had chosen so exceptional!
Hearing this, Tang Yongchang's anger flared, and he said coldly, "Xinwan, fooling around outside is one thing, but must you fool around at home too?"
He was still seething over this matter!
Because of the issue of Tang Xinwan's fiancé, the He family felt disgraced and had taken their anger out on the Tang family. Companies that had previously cooperated with the He family had their contracts terminated in the past couple of days.
The Tang family's businesses had suffered significant losses, and Tang Yongchang was constantly in a state of distress.
He had thought that his niece Tang Xinwan was just throwing a tantrum and would eventually get over it. He planned to find an opportunity to apologize to the He family, and the matter would be resolved.
Unexpectedly, Tang Xinwan brought that so-called fiancé home today! Tang Yongchang was naturally furious.
"Fooling around? I'm not fooling around!"
Tang Xinwan gritted her teeth and said firmly, "Ye Cangtian and I not only have deep affection, but our marriage was also personally arranged by Grandpa! I've brought him here today to announce to everyone that Ye Cangtian and I are engaged."
The people present began to murmur among themselves, surprised as to when the old man had arranged a marriage for Xinwan.
Tang Yongchang, however, scoffed and said sarcastically, "Setting aside whether Grandpa truly arranged your engagement, even if he did, some individuals with poor character are not fit to marry into my Tang family!"
"Niece Xinwan, I heard that this Ye Cangtian was arrested by the police a couple of days ago for fighting and brawling. Is this true?"
This question immediately stirred up discussion among the crowd. Everyone looked at Ye Cangtian with strange expressions, their faces filled with disdain and disgust.
Tang Yongchang then sneered, "Someone with such corrupt morals, do you think he is qualified to step foot into my Tang family, let alone marry into it!"
At this point, not only his uncle but also other elders began to persuade her. "Xinwan, your uncle is right. While our Tang family may not be a top-tier family, not just anyone can enter our family's premises."
"This kind of riffraff from society isn't even fit to carry our Tang family's shoes! Cousin Xinwan, please call off this engagement!"
Seeing that almost everyone in the Tang family opposed this marriage, Tang Xinwan became extremely anxious. She looked at Ye Cangtian and saw him smiling without saying a word.
Tang Xinwan couldn't help but glare at Ye Cangtian: You're really holding your tongue!
It was infuriating!
Ye Cangtian rolled his eyes helplessly. Didn't you tell me to keep quiet?
However, he knew he had to step forward and say something now, as these Tang family members didn't seem to welcome him very much!
He surveyed the surroundings, and seeing everyone looking at him, he smiled helplessly, "I have a question that puzzles me. After Xinwan and I get married, will we be sleeping with you all?"
His words stunned everyone, even Tang Xinwan, who then gritted her teeth. What was this guy trying to say?
Then Ye Cangtian smiled brightly, "Presumably, after Xinwan and I get married, it will be her sleeping in the same bed, not you. And it will be her who has children with me, not you."
"Therefore, regarding my character, there's no need for you to judge. And my marriage with Xinwan naturally has nothing to do with you!"
"You're talking nonsense! Your bad character disgraces my Tang family!"
Tang Yongchang immediately pointed at Ye Cangtian and rebuked him angrily. Then he turned to Tang Xinwan and said in exasperation, "This is the fiancé you found? So vulgar, Xinwan, do you have anything else to say?"
What the hell is this scoundrel doing? If you can't say anything sensible, just keep quiet!
Tang Xinwan was extremely speechless, but at this point, she could only say with a firm tone, "Although Ye Cangtian's words are a bit crude, every word he says is reasonable! I am serious about being with him."
She paused, and seeing that the crowd still wanted to say something, she continued, "Moreover, he is the fiancé personally chosen by my grandfather. Do Uncle and the elders think Grandpa's judgment is poor?"
This made everyone's expressions complicated, and even Tang Yongchang couldn't refute it, though his anger intensified.
Just then, a servant from outside rushed in, "Doctor Mu has arrived! The car is already outside the courtyard!"
Tang Yongchang took a deep breath, looked at the two, and then said sternly, "This matter will not be discussed for now. Don't let Doctor Mu witness any jokes about my Tang family!"
Doctor Mu was extremely famous throughout Huaxia. Many families and wealthy businessmen were willing to pay hefty sums to hire him, but it was not easy to get Doctor Mu to make a house call.
Therefore, it was a great honor for the Tang family to have Doctor Mu come to treat the old man. They naturally couldn't dwell on such trivial matters at this time.
...
Outside the Tang family's courtyard!
A black Alphard minivan pulled up, and an old man and a young woman alighted.
The older one, with white hair and around seventy or eighty years old, was full of vigor and energy. This was Mu Fangyuan, known as Doctor Mu.
Following behind him was a young woman carrying a medicine box, who was none other than Xiao Yurou, whom Ye Cangtian had met before!
"Teacher, can't even you cure the Tang family's old master's illness?" Xiao Yurou asked, looking up at the Tang family mansion.
As a long-time friend of Tang Xinwan, she naturally hoped her teacher could cure the old master's illness.
Mu Fangyuan sighed and said helplessly, "Although I have practiced medicine and saved lives for many years, and have even brought people back from the brink of death multiple times, I cannot cure every illness! Moreover, the old master Tang's illness is not really an illness!"
Xiao Yurou was stunned and asked in surprise, "Not an illness? Then what is it?"
Mu Fangyuan wore a wry smile and said, "Yurou, don't think of your teacher as too amazing. This so-called 'Doctor Mu' title, alas, let's not talk about it!"
"Teacher, is there really no way?"
"Actually, for the old master Tang's condition, if there is anyone who can truly cure it, it is only one person in this world!" Mu Fangyuan suddenly said, then shook his head and chuckled.
However, that person was too mysterious, and how could they be easily encountered?
Mu Fangyuan sighed again, then stopped talking and walked towards the Tang family mansion.
