From the study, it was already late.
Tang Xinwan saw Ye Cangtian emerge and couldn't help but frown, "What were you and Grandpa talking about for over an hour?"
"Nothing much!"
After Ye Cangtian spoke, he added, "Just talking about when we're getting married!"
Tang Xinwan's face instantly turned red, and she turned her head away, huffing, "Who said I'm marrying you!"
Ye Cangtian showed a melancholic expression and sighed.
"Actually, we weren't talking about marriage! The old man blamed me for taking you to the capital to investigate your parents' matters and told me to break off our engagement!"
"What? How could he do that! I was the one who insisted on going to the capital, what does it have to do with you?"
Tang Xinwan immediately became anxious and turned towards the study, "I'm going to reason with him!"
Ye Cangtian grabbed her small hand and laughed, "I was kidding! See, you actually want to marry me."
"You scoundrel! You lied to me." Tang Xinwan, embarrassed, pulled her hand away.
The two walked out of the courtyard and were about to get into the car to leave.
Ye Cangtian couldn't help but glance in a certain direction, his brows furrowed slightly, and he muttered, "As expected, there are still people watching that ageless root!"
It seems Grandpa Tang's decision was correct!
If the remaining half of the ageless root is auctioned off, no one will target the Tang family anymore, right?
He didn't alert the enemy and directly got into the car, quickly driving Tang Xinwan away from the Tang family old house.
A few minutes later!
On the roof of a阁楼 at the Tang family old house, a figure with a curvaceous figure gradually appeared. This was a Saudi woman.
If Ye Cangtian were here, he would surely recognize her as one of Xibeiya's female guards.
This Saudi female guard did not leave with Xibeiya but remained in China to search for clues about the ageless root for Xibeiya, and the investigation led her to the Tang family.
...
The next day!
As soon as Ye Cangtian dropped Tang Xinwan off at Haitian Pharmaceutical, he saw Tang Xiaowu also drive to the company.
Recalling how dejected the young man looked last night, he knew something was on his mind.
He asked, "You, son, did you have something you wanted to tell me yesterday?"
"Brother-in-law!"
Tang Xiaowu hesitated, then took a deep breath and said, "It's Nana. I feel like what brother-in-law said yesterday might be right, Nana probably doesn't truly like me!"
Ye Cangtian was a bit surprised, this kid finally caught on!
Tang Xiaowu was in a bad mood. Yesterday, he took the bank card his brother-in-law gave him and bought Nana's favorite bag, which cost two hundred thousand yuan.
He thought he could stay at her apartment and talk to her longer, but he didn't expect Nana to claim she had plans with her girlfriends that evening. However, when he left, he clearly saw Nana get into someone else's car after leaving her apartment.
This was also why he returned to the Tang family old house yesterday looking troubled.
"Brother-in-law, do you think Nana really had something to do, or has she been lying to me?" Tang Xiaowu looked conflicted.
"What do you think?"
Ye Cangtian rolled his eyes. Just when he thought the kid had caught on, he didn't expect him to still be deceiving himself!
However, seeing the conflicted look on his face, Ye Cangtian knew that his younger brother-in-law was now deeply mired in love and couldn't extricate himself.
He patted Tang Xiaowu on the shoulder and comforted him, "Women, there are plenty everywhere. With your status as the sole heir of the Tang family, are you afraid of not having women in the future?"
He almost explicitly said, the girlfriend you call Nana is definitely lying to you!
Just then, Ye Cangtian's phone rang.
It was Liu Rumei calling, wanting to invite him for lunch. Ye Cangtian thought about it and didn't refuse, agreeing to it.
After hanging up, he said to the still somewhat depressed Tang Xiaowu, "Don't overthink it. Seeing you like this, I'll take you for a big meal at noon!"
"Okay, I'll head up first then!" Tang Xiaowu nodded.
Watching the young man dejectedly enter the company, Ye Cangtian shook his head helplessly. His brother-in-law seemed to lack experience in emotional matters!
The reason he wanted Tang Xiaowu to accompany him to eat with Liu Rumei and the others just now was mainly to let the kid get to know more important figures in the underground forces.
After all, this kid was the sole heir of the Tang family. Even Tang Xinwan had mentioned more than once that she wanted to nurture Tang Xiaowu.
...
Soon, the morning passed!
Ye Cangtian and Tang Xiaowu drove to a five-star hotel.
As they parked the car in the open-air parking lot, they saw a blue Lamborghini driving from a distance and parking not far away.
When the Lamborghini's door opened, Tang Xiaowu, who had been preoccupied, seemed to have been hit hard.
"Nana!" Tang Xiaowu murmured.
A girl with decent looks, dressed in a way that was both pure and alluring, got out of the Lamborghini.
Perhaps hearing the call, the girl named Nana turned around and her eyes flickered when she saw Tang Xiaowu, "Xiaowu, why are you here?"
Tang Xiaowu looked at her disbelievingly and asked through gritted teeth, "Nana, weren't you busy filming?"
Nana was momentarily speechless, but then she quickly said with a cold face, "Are you following me?"
At this moment, the other car door of the Lamborghini opened, and a young master got out and said, "Nana, who are you talking to?"
Nana turned to explain, "Young Master Gong, just a friend, it's nothing, you don't need to mind him!"
"Nana, what did you just say?" Tang Xiaowu immediately exploded, his ears barely believing what he heard.
Beside him, Ye Cangtian leaned against the car door with his arms crossed, watching the scene with amusement.
He wanted to see how his brother-in-law would handle this!
The girl named Nana looked at Tang Xiaowu and frowned, "Xiaowu, let me tell you the truth, Young Master Gong is my boyfriend, and you are just my backup. So don't pester me anymore."
"I'm just your backup?"
Tang Xiaowu trembled with anger. He never imagined that he loved her so much, but in her eyes, he was just a backup!
Young Master Gong sneered beside him, "Kid, have some self-awareness! Being a backup is enough, don't tell me you want to snatch a woman from me!"
Nana also said ruthlessly, "Tang Xiaowu, Young Master Gong is a young master from the Gong family and has good relationships with big shots in the underground forces. You can't compare to him. I advise you to leave!"
"Tang Xiaowu? You're from the Tang family, aren't you?"
The young master named Gong's interest was piqued, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "The Tang family inexplicably got some great project a while ago, but small families are just small families. Don't come to a place like this to embarrass yourselves!"
Young Master Gong had some impression of the Tang family because the Gong family also had a real estate business, and that major project was also something the Gong family had intended to compete for, but they did not win the bid.
He had heard his father say last time that the Tang family had struck it lucky, so he looked down on the Tang family from the bottom of his heart.
Tang Xiaowu gritted his teeth, feeling insulted! But what hurt him more was that the person he loved actually treated him as a backup!
"What is the Gong family?" Su Dan Novel Network
Ye Cangtian finally couldn't stand it anymore. It was one thing for his brother-in-law to be looked down upon, but now someone was insulting the Tang family?
