Chapter 97 You Can't Hide From a Woman
Tang Wansu will never get any benefits from Xuanzhe.
She thought the man would come back angrily, but Xuanzhe looked normal, still with that mysterious look. He glanced at Tang Wansu's hand that was gently stroking her belly, and a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes.
Xuan Zhong came out of the kitchen right after him. Ever since he confirmed the relationship between Ran Yao and Xu Chen, he had been like an eggplant hit by frost. His confidence was no longer the same as before. He said in a low voice, "It's rare for us to get together now that we're back. Let's have a meal."
It was also dinner time, and two plates of seafood were not enough to feed the quail. Xuanzhe didn't hesitate: "Yes."
It had been over half a year since the family had gathered for a meal. Because Tang Wansu was pregnant, the meals were tailored to her tastes and preferences, relatively nutritious and light, like home-cooked meals. Wen Shuang found the food bland after taking a bite. The system tutted, "It's just so-so, not even as good as the wontons we had this morning. Wen Shuang, let's have some barbecue on the way home!" Although it hadn't eaten it yet, it remembered that Wen Shuang loved barbecue, so it was sure it wouldn't go wrong!
Wen Shuang didn't know how to answer, so she just nodded.
Xuanzhe: “…”
Tang Weisheng had no appetite and was even a little nervous. He knew that Tang Wansu was going to have a big move tonight.
This makes the relationship with Xuanzhe better... Tang Weisheng was very annoyed.
Tang Wansu felt that she was precious, so she only tasted a little bit of each dish, and frowned from time to time, thinking that this was not good or that was not good. When they had almost finished eating, the hall was dead silent, with only the slight clinking of dishes and chopsticks. Tang Wansu poked Xuan Zhong's arm under the table, and her expression was rare and strong.
Tang Wansu had said during the day that if the child could not be given the surname "Xuan" and could not inherit the property, it would be better to abort it to avoid being looked down upon by others. This sentence immediately hit Xuan Zhong's soft spot. He had been in a daze recently and felt very unhappy. The new life undoubtedly brought a ray of light to his gloomy life. Xuan Zhong was determined to keep the child.
"Um..." Xuan Zhong patted the back of Tang Wansu's hand to comfort her, coughed twice, and then spoke, "Xuanzhe, let me be frank with you. Your grandfather didn't agree with Weisheng, and the elders are the most important. We had no choice but to let him take your Aunt Tang's surname. But now your grandfather is gone, this child..."
Xuanzhe raised his head and said, "You can choose whatever surname you want. You are the only one who treats my grandfather's words as an imperial decree. What does it matter if you are surnamed Xuan or Tang? Since you are my brother, I will naturally recognize you."
Tang Weisheng's heart trembled, and the heaviness in his heart immediately dissipated.
Xuan Zhong thought there was a way! Tang Wansu became excited as well.
"Also..." Xuan Zhong also found it difficult to speak, but after all, he was old and thick-skinned, so he finally said, "Do you think I should give your unborn brother some shares or something?"
Xuanzhe put down his chopsticks.
"Shares" Xuanzhe pondered for a moment, satisfied to see the two people across from him were frightened, and suddenly smiled, "Dad, do you still remember what you signed when you handed over the Xuan family's assets to me? Or, do you remember?"
Xuan Zhong was stunned for a moment, and his brainstorming session started. Almost at the same time, his face turned pale, just like Tang Wansu's.
Xuan Zhong had a majestic and dictatorial appearance, but he was actually timid and cowardly at heart. At that time, he and Tang Wansu had ruined the Xuan family's company and it was heavily in debt. Then when he handed it over to Xuan Zhe, in order to avoid those financial holes, he voluntarily gave up all the Xuan family's property, asked someone to notarize it, and put it in black and white, pushing Xuan Zhe alone to the forefront. It was extremely heartless.
Xuan Zhong murmured: "You signed it."
"I signed it." Xuanzhe seemed to understand something and smiled lightly, "You don't think that you have received huge dividends over the years because I didn't sign it, do you? You think too much, Dad. You did such a ruthless thing back then, how could I not honor you and give you dividends? It's simply because you are my father, and I want you to have an easier time in your later years. As for shares, you don't have a penny, so how could the one in Tang Wansu's belly have any?"
"Xuanzhe!" Tang Wansu stood up suddenly, her expression panicked and angry: "I'm pregnant with the Xuan family's child!"
"I didn't say he wasn't." Xuanzhe said coldly, "He's definitely better off than ordinary people because he was born into a family, but forget about Quan Yi's money. Tang Wansu, you must remember everything you did to me back then. I'm a person who will never let go of anything. I'm already very forgiving by letting you live in the old house. People should be content."
Tang Wansu had long forgotten the agreement to relinquish her property. She'd been thinking of leaving the mess to Xuanzhe, considering the huge sums he'd have to pay. But who knew Xuanzhe would actually be able to recover? Now she felt like she'd shot herself in the foot, but how could Tang Wansu accept this? She'd endured so much hardship to get pregnant, just to have an extra bargaining chip, but it turned out to be nothing more than a joke!
no!
Tang Wansu took a deep breath and said, "If there are no shares, I will abort the child."
Xuan Zhong was furious: "How dare you!"
Xuanzhe drank his tea slowly, his eyes cold. "It seems that a good life can really make a person lose track of reality, even forgetting their own weight. Who are you threatening, Tang Wansu? You should be thankful that the one in your belly has nothing to do with Quan Yi, otherwise, would I let him be born safely?"
Tang Wansu was shocked, as if she had just thought of this.
Wen Shuang chewed on the pork ribs, knowing Xuanzhe was trying to bluff again. Her boyfriend actually valued family and relatives very much. Even if the child had inheritance rights, Xuanzhe wouldn't do anything to him. He couldn't bear it, but he also disdained it. After all, even if a child was born, he couldn't reach the ceiling of this world.
Tang Weisheng breathed a sigh of relief. It was good news. The evidence was in front of him and there was nothing his mother could do.
"I can hit you if I want." Xuan Zhe said coldly, "After you do that, my dad will divorce you. How are you going to live after you get out of the Xuan family? I'm going to go back to my old job and look for new candidates at the bathing center. But unfortunately, I'm old and ugly, and life will definitely not be easy for me."
Tang Weisheng tapped the table lightly, signaling Xuanzhe to go easy on his words.
Tang Wansu hated people talking about her background the most. She immediately became so angry that her chest heaved violently. After a wail, she collapsed in the chair, complaining of a stomachache. Xuan Zhong was frightened and panicked. Several servants were fetching medicine and helping people. For a while, the whole place was in chaos, while the other three at the table were all calm.
After everyone went up, Xuanzhe turned to look at Tang Weisheng and said, "Why don't you go and take a look?"
"She's pretending." Tang Weisheng held his forehead, looking extremely tired. "She'll call me up in a while." He was already very familiar with the whole process.
"She can't bear to abort the child." Xuanzhe lit a cigarette and handed it to Tang Weisheng. The two brothers exhaled together. To be honest, a group of old foxes in the business world are not as annoying as Tang Wansu. They can't cause much harm but they have to manipulate. They can't stir up trouble but they can disgust people.
Tang Weisheng's eyes were cloudy: "I know that only with this child can she seek more."
After a moment of silence, Tang Weisheng suddenly asked, "Do you think... there will be karma?"
Wen Shuang was a little surprised, thinking that Tang Wansu was a talented person. If the plot hadn't changed, the person in front of her would be the big boss behind the scenes who almost wiped out all the protagonists in the book. She killed people indiscriminately and didn't know what "retribution" was.
Wen Shuang continued, "To put it bluntly, retribution is all your own fault. She is her, and you are you."
Tang Weisheng nodded, but felt it was difficult to separate.
"Master Weisheng, Madam asks you to come up." A servant approached and said cautiously.
Xuanzhe: "Do you need me to accompany you?"
Tang Weisheng stood up and chuckled: "You treat me like a child?"
However, five minutes later, seeing Tang Weisheng coming down from upstairs with a towel covering his head with one hand, and faint red seeping from the corners, Xuanzhe felt a surge of anger in his heart: "You can't hide from a woman..."
Tang Weisheng waved his hand to signal a quick retreat: "If she dodges once, there will be a second time, until she hits me. She won't be happy until she sees me hurt. Forget it, let's go."
So skilled that it makes people feel distressed.
Wen Shuang sighed inwardly. There was nothing worse than having a mother like this. Some garbage could be cleaned up, but some was tied to the blood and could not be gotten rid of at all.
Tang Weisheng did not go to the hospital, but asked someone to give him a simple bandage when he passed by a clinic. At that time, Tang Wansu smashed the ashtray on the bedside table towards him, and he avoided it selectively, scratching his skin. He came out after seeing that the woman was silent. At this time, he stopped the bleeding and put on a gauze half the size of his palm.
Tang Weisheng raised his hand and pressed it, his mind was calculating. He only cared about escaping and didn't think about anything else. Now that the wound was so obvious, how was he going to explain it to Tan Li tonight?
Xuanzhe, however, refused to let him off easy. He patted his shoulder and said sincerely, "Take care."
"..." Tang Weisheng looked at Wen Shuang expressionlessly, signaling him to take care of it.
Wen Shuang was horrified. It was good enough for him to not let Xuanzhe be held down and drilled by a man. Who would complain about having a long life?
Tang Weisheng was not good at lying and liked to avoid being seen when he was lying. After two rounds of conversations at home, Tan Li knew the whole story.
In the room, Tan Li examined the wound distressedly, his face dark and uncertain. Tang Weisheng always felt that he was going to make trouble, and sure enough, within a few days, Tan Li had Tang Guanming killed. He almost gave the old man a gastroenteritis at the table. Tan Li changed his usual easygoing manner and said calmly, holding a cigarette in his mouth, "Tang Wansu is Weisheng's mother. I can't do anything to her, but I can make her and you unhappy. The next time Weisheng gets another wound, I will make you lose millions. That way, Tang Wansu will have less money to buy jewelry to show off. Let's try it."
Needless to say, Tang Guanming and Tang Wansu got into a fight right after he went to the hospital to have his stomach pumped. "Stupid woman! Idiot! You can't even get a penny from Xuanzhe, and you're just trying to grab Weisheng. Have you ever calculated how much assets Tan Li has? The two of them together are making money for us! Just go ahead and do it, you're so stupid you're eating shit!"
Tang Wansu hung up the phone tremblingly, her pupils trembling slightly, as if some evil thing had drained her of her sanity. In short, she looked abnormal, and the maid beside her was so scared that she held her breath.
"Get out." Tang Wansu suddenly spoke. When she was the only one left in the room, the woman's expression became ferocious and she made a phone call.
…
Wen Shuang still has nightmares at night. The sticky and fishy emotions of his original body always surge in when his willpower is weakest. It was unbearable at first, but slowly... it became good.
Wen Shuang suddenly opened his eyes, adjusted to the feeling of accelerated heartbeat, and cold sweat soaked his face. He turned his head slightly and saw Xuan Zhe sleeping beside him.
This is fucking... Wen Shuang was speechless after realizing it, very speechless!
Last night he became his original self again, provoking others involuntarily and causing a lot of annoyance. At the critical moment, Xuan Zhe stepped forward. Wen Shuang felt so immersed in the situation that she wanted to cry, but it was useless. In his dream, he was very attentive to Xuan Zhe, and the flattery on his face was so much that you could probably pinch oil out of it. Wen Shuang was really disgusted with himself while reciting the lines stiffly, just waiting for Xuan Zhe to slap him away.
However, no, the Xuanzhe in the dream seemed to have discovered something interesting, and made him say over and over again, lines like "President Xuan, I admire you so much, I like you so much" that made people's scalps tingle, accompanied by a burst of humming, and then the scene changed, and the two of them were in bed!
Watching the man pull off his belt, Wen Shuang couldn't bear it anymore and forced herself to wake up.
Fortunately... Wen Shuang patted his chest. He couldn't drive in his dreams. He was facing some serious matters. He couldn't be so absurd!
Wen Shuang got up and wanted to take a shower. He had his back to Xuan Zhe and did not see the man open his eyes. Then he lifted the quilt and looked inside.
Xuanzhe thought about it seriously and felt that his reaction was too intense. After all, he almost ate it in his dream, which was really exciting. So he stretched out his long arm and pulled Wen Shuang, who had just left the bed, into his arms.
Wen Shuang: ""
There is light snow outside the window, and it is a gloomy day.
