"Grandpa, you must do justice for me!"
Tang Mingxuan knelt on the ground, crawling directly to Tang Jingde, and cried out loudly, "Grandpa, that scoundrel Lin Xiaotian not only sent my dad into the emergency room, but look what he's done to me now."
"He knocked out more than ten of my teeth."
"I've never been hit like this in my life, not even you have ever laid a hand on me."
"Today, Lin Xiaotian slapped me more than a dozen times in front of everyone."
"He's not just hitting me; he's slapping the face of our entire Tang family. I am the sole heir of the Tang family and your own grandson. He doesn't respect you at all."
"He's an ungrateful wretch. You helped him so much before, but now look at him, not only..."
Before his torrent of words could finish, Tang Jingde interrupted him with a cold snort.
"Why did he hit you?"
The cold question made Tang Mingxuan feel that something was wrong.
However, his mind quickly turned, and he began to embellish the story: "Grandpa, I went to beg him to treat my dad."
"When I reached the entrance of their villa, I immediately knelt down."
"I knelt on the ground and pleaded bitterly, but not only did I not receive any mercy, he also bullied me relentlessly."
"He said our entire Tang family are a bunch of good-for-nothings."
"He also said that Grandpa, you are senile. He said that you willingly gave him the exhibition booth, and it had nothing to do with him. He claimed he didn't even want it, and if you hadn't begged him, he wouldn't have bothered with the exhibition." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Hearing this, Tang Jingde knew that his grandson was clearly spouting nonsense.
Although he hadn't interacted with Lin Xiaotian for long, his impression was that he was no ordinary person.
If Lin Xiaotian were a hypocrite, he would never have lent him that famous painting for viewing. Even though he had offered a high price, Lin Xiaotian could have easily taken it, but he didn't.
Lin Xiaotian gave away priceless treasures as if they were nothing, completely unconcerned. At his age, he could see clearly that this was not an act.
How could a person of such character and integrity attack his son and grandson without reason?
There must be a reason.
Tang Mingxuan, unaware of his grandfather's thoughts, saw the anger on his grandfather's face and immediately added more fuel to the fire: "Grandpa, Lin Xiaotian just thinks our Tang family is too easy to bully."
"With just one word from you now, their company's business will plummet."
"Their hard-earned reputation will be destroyed."
"Grandpa, what are you still hesitating for?"
Tang Jingde's gaze turned, his voice even colder: "I'm hesitating whether to disown you from the Tang family."
Hearing this, Tang Mingxuan thought he had misheard. His eyes widened in disbelief. "Grandpa, what are you saying? I'm your grandson, and I haven't done anything wrong?"
"Are you really my grandson?" Tang Jingde asked calmly.
Tang Mingxuan was startled by this. He quickly asked, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Don't you even recognize me?"
"Doctor... where is the doctor? Hurry, my grandpa has gone senile!"
Tang Jingde let out a cold snort. "If you were truly my grandson, why would you try to trick me like this?"
"Although I don't know what powerful forces are behind them, I know that Lin Xiaotian can give away billions without batting an eye. He doesn't care about you at all."
"If you hadn't provoked him."
"Lin Xiaotian wouldn't even spare you a second glance."
Tang Jingde stood up directly. "Stay in the hospital and take care of your father. I will personally go and see what you two, father and son, have done."
"If I find out you've been exaggerating, I'll deal with you when I get back."
With that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
This grandson of his had been spoiled rotten since childhood.
As for his son, he felt a sense of helplessness. He had neglected his son's upbringing since he was young, and his temper, especially his son's lifestyle, made him furious even thinking about it now.
If his son weren't already in the intensive care unit, he would have loved to give him a good thrashing.
Lost in these thoughts, Tang Jingde quickly drove to the villa.
As soon as he entered, he saw Lin Xiaotian sitting in the living room.
The woman beside him looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't recall where he had seen her.
However, her demeanor was quite unusual; she seemed to be trembling, almost out of her mind with fear.
Before Tang Jingde could speak, he saw the woman kneel down directly.
"Old Master Tang, you've finally arrived. If you had been any later, I would have been scared to death."
"Lin Xiaotian won't let me leave; he wants me to wait here."
"He said if you didn't come, I wouldn't be allowed to go back."
As she spoke, Zhou Lanmei burst into tears.
The events she had experienced today were more terrifying and stressful than her entire life combined.
First, someone had tried to silence her, and then she had witnessed Lin Xiaotian's ruthless methods. Her mental state had completely collapsed.
Seeing Tang Jingde, she knew her life was temporarily safe, which is why she cried so uncontrollably.
It was the hope of life after facing death.
Tang Jingde was a bit bewildered. "Who are you?"
"I'm Zhou Lanmei!"
"Old Master, have you forgotten me? I met you a few times when you were with my father."
That was a long time ago. Since the death of Old Master Chu, Tang Jingde had rarely visited.
Moreover, Old Master Chu had not been fond of Zhou Lanmei when he was alive.
Tang Jingde suddenly realized. He looked at Lin Xiaotian with a hint of confusion, then turned to Zhou Lanmei.
"What exactly happened?"
"Why are you waiting for me here?"
Hearing this, Zhou Lanmei instinctively glanced at Lin Xiaotian, her eyes filled with clear confusion.
Even she didn't know the reason.
Lin Xiaotian smiled and said, "Old Master, I specifically kept her here to give you an explanation."
"After all, I beat up your son, so this is also a lesson for him."
"This can be considered me helping you. If he continues to be stubborn, he will only become a tool in someone else's hands and be exploited."
Tang Jingde, having lived so long, was a seasoned elder.
"Xiaotian, please let her go."
"I believe everything you say. I consider you a true friend, a friend forged in later years."
