Chapter 352: Early Summer Battle

Fan Ye left an hour later, and no one knew what he said to Tang Shuo and Wang Kangning in the study.

After the other party left, Tang Shuo chatted with Wang Kangning for a while.

When he went downstairs, only Wang Qiuchen and Qiao Fan were left in the living room.

Tang Shuo stepped forward and said to the two of them, "Thank you."

Wang Qiucheng asked doubtfully, "How did you convince Fan Ye?"

Seeing Fan Ye leave strangely, he and Qiao Fan began to discuss how Tang Shuo had persuaded Fan Ye. However, after a long discussion, they still had no conclusion.

This kind of revenge for the loss of a son was a mortal feud, with no room for reconciliation. As for how Tang Shuo had done it, both of them were very curious.

Tang Shuo smiled and replied helplessly: "I promised to help him find the real murderer!"

"Is it that simple?" Wang Qiuchen asked in surprise.

Qiao Fan on the side interjected: "Does he believe what you say?"

Tang Shuo nodded slowly. If he had to say what he had gained from this trip to Mingzhu, it would largely be attributed to meeting these two people. And what happened that evening further confirmed that these two people were candidates for friendship. Therefore, Tang Shuo had no secrets from them.

The conversation with Fan Ye just now seemed simple, but in fact, it was all Wang Kangning's first instruction. Otherwise, it would definitely not be so easy to deal with.

The Fan family's background is rather unique. If you trace the Fan family online, you'll find they actually started out as illicit merchants. Although they've long since been cleansed by Fan Ye's father, they still have a bandit streak in their bones. Furthermore, both Fan Ye and Fan Lingfeng carry a certain unruly air.

So Tang Shuo used a preemptive move to shock Fan Ye, and then explained the reasons to him.

Of course, Wang Kangning was present during this incident. Otherwise, the other party would definitely not have given Tang Shuo a chance to defend himself.

Qiao Fan laughed dryly. He and Wang Qiuchen had just analyzed the matter thoroughly, but he didn't expect that the problem would be so easy to solve.

Wang Qiucheng smiled and said, "I still don't understand why you want to go into politics. Wouldn't it be better to be a carefree playboy? Why do you have to suffer this?"

In fact, he and Qiao Fan were not very familiar with each other before, but this opportunity tonight made their relationship much better.

"I was born to work hard." Qiao Fan laughed at himself and stood up and said, "Let's go."

Tang Shuo nodded and said, "Go slowly on the road."

After seeing Qiao Fan off with Wang Qiucheng, Tang Shuo said, "Sorry for disturbing you tonight. I'm going to rest too. I have to go back to Yanjing tomorrow."

It was already too late, so Tang Shuo unceremoniously occupied a room and planned to stay at Wang's house that night.

Wang Qiuchen nodded, and after Tang Shuo's back disappeared, he slowly walked towards his room.

In fact, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Wang Kangning's comments on Tang Shuo in the study before. He felt that the other party was just a little more careful and observant.

But after what happened that night, Wang Qiuchen no longer underestimated the other party and for the first time put the other party on the same level as him.

…

The next morning, Tang Shuo and Lu Wanqi had breakfast at Wang's house and then said goodbye and left.

After sending Lu Wanqi to the crew, Wu Lingyun was already waiting there as planned.

After the two of them said goodbye reluctantly, Tang Shuo returned to the Southern China Hotel.

The flight is at noon, so I have some free time.

After chatting with Chen Chuan in the lobby, Zheng Xiaowan came over in a panic and said, "Boss Tang, thirty people have made reservations for our membership since this morning."

Tang Shuo was stunned for a moment, then he understood. It must be because what happened at Wang's house last night had been spread that caused such a big reaction.

"This is a good thing, you should be happy." Tang Shuo said with a smile.

"But this data is a bit abnormal." Zheng Xiaowan replied in confusion.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to the guild hall." Tang Shuo said, "I'll leave at noon. I'll be busy for a while."

Zheng Xiaowan snorted softly and said, "When am I not tired?"

“…”

Come to think of it, from taking over to the preparation for construction, it seemed that Zheng Xiaowan had always been busy, and he really had not helped her in any way.

Tang Shuo smiled bitterly and said, "When you and Ling Yun get married, I'll give you a big gift as compensation."

Zheng Xiaowan's face flushed instantly, and she replied, "Who said he and I are getting married?"

…

Yanjing, Imperial Garden Community.

A cold-faced woman with an evil aura was walking in the garden in the middle of the community, holding the hand of a delicate little girl.

"Mother-in-law, why don't you like my father?" The little girl looked up and said to the cold-faced woman.

The cold-faced woman glanced down at the little girl and replied, "I just don't like it."

"Why is that?" the little girl asked. "I think daddy is very cute."

Soon the little girl continued, "It must be because Daddy didn't take you to eat ice cream, right? When Daddy comes back, I'll ask him to buy you one."

The cold-faced woman shook her head and then asked, "Don't you blame him for never visiting you before?"

The little girl tilted her head and thought for a moment before answering, "Mom said Dad was busy with something, so he didn't have time to come see me."

The cold-faced woman then asked, "Do you miss your mother now?"

A trace of nostalgia instantly appeared in the little girl's clear eyes. She nodded and said, "Dad said he would go get Mom."

Just as the cold-faced woman was about to ask further questions, the little girl pointed at a stretched Lincoln car that was slowly approaching and said, "Auntie Tiantong is here."

After saying that, the little girl hurriedly ran towards the car. The cold-faced woman suddenly smiled faintly, her face full of doting.

The little girl and the cold-faced woman were naturally Aunt Wu and Xiao Chuxia. When Fang Shirou first said that she would bring Tang Shuo's daughter, Aunt Wu was full of resistance and even wanted to settle the score with Tang Shuo.

However, after meeting Chu Xia, Aunt Wu finally compromised and even doted on her very much.

Xiao Chuxia went forward and hugged Jiang Tiantong, and said to Du Bing who was standing beside her: "Hello, Aunt Du Bing."

Du Bing smiled and nodded. After the two of them went in, she got in the car and left.

…

Fang Shirou, who was busy in the kitchen, glanced at Xiao Chuxia and Jiang Tiantong who came in, and said with a smile: "Tiantong is here, it's a good time to have dinner together."

Jiang Tiantong nodded without hesitation and pulled Xiao Chuxia to sit on the sofa.

"Tiantong is here." Su Ran came down from upstairs at this time and said to Jiang Tiantong with a smile: "Why don't you call and let us know in advance so that we can prepare."

"I just came to see Chuxia." Jiang Tiantong replied coldly: "By the way, I have something to tell you."

Little Chuxia very sensibly stepped forward to help support Su Ran, then looked at Su Ran's belly with interest, completely ignoring what the two were saying.

"What's the matter?" Su Ran asked.

"I helped Chuxia contact a school." Jiang Tiantong replied: "Chuxia is old enough to go to school."

When Chuxia heard Jiang Tiantong talking about her, she looked at Jiang Tiantong blankly with her big eyes.

Su Ran frowned and asked, "Should we discuss this matter with Tang Shuo?"

Jiang Tiantong raised the corners of his mouth and said very proudly: "I have already asked him, and he agrees to this matter."

"That's no problem." Su Ran nodded.

"But the school is a bit far from here, so I want Chuxia to live with me." Jiang Tiantong continued.

"That won't work." Su Ran immediately refused: "You are too busy with work and don't have time to take care of children."

"I'll make time, and we can hire a few full-time nannies." Jiang Tiantong said, "The school is quite far from here, and it would be too tiring for Chuxia to go back and forth every day."

"You can find a school that's closer."

“What about the teaching quality?”

"I can't make the decision on this matter. You can discuss it with Tang Shuo first." Su Ran shook his head and said, "But I don't want Chu Xia to go with you either."
