Chapter 88: Rich Family
Tang Shuo's words were like thunderclaps out of the blue, startling the other people in the room.
Su Ran never thought that Tang Shuo would dare to bring up this matter in front of her grandfather Su Zhiguo. She thought that Tang Shuo's main purpose was to convince her. When she came to her senses, she set her gaze on the old man Su Zhiguo, waiting for her grandfather's reaction after hearing this.
If it weren't for her family ties, she might have agreed to Tang Shuo's approach. But the fate of the Su family weighed heavily on her chest like a rock.
She simply couldn't ignore the family that gave birth to her and raised her for her own benefit.
Su Zhiguo will be ninety years old in two years. He has experienced many ups and downs in his life. What kind of bizarre things has he not seen?
When he heard Tang Shuo say that Su Ran could be cured without getting married, his first thought was that it was ridiculous. He was about to send someone to drive Tang Shuo out, but when he saw Tang Shuo's calm look, he changed his mind and restrained his anger.
"You just said that if my granddaughter doesn't marry Zhao Chenru, you can cure her?" Su Zhiguo asked again.
Tang Shuo nodded and replied, "Yes."
Su Zhiguo sneered and said, "Isn't she still not married to Zhao Chenru? Does that mean my granddaughter can't marry Zhao Chenru, but has to marry you instead?"
Tang Shuo nodded again, expressing his approval of Su Zhiguo's comprehension ability, and said, "You're right."
Snap...
Su Zhiguo slapped the armrest of the armchair under his butt and asked angrily: "Do you know what you are saying?"
Su Zhiguo had held great power in the first half of his life, and in the second half he controlled the fate of an entire family. His angry questioning had a certain authority to it.
An ordinary person would have been impressed by his presence and become cautious. However, Tang Shuo seemed oblivious to Su Zhiguo's actions, completely unconcerned. A faint smile still hung on his face as he said, "Of course I know."
"..." Su Zhiguo did not say anything, but stared at Tang Shuo silently, waiting for Tang Shuo's next words.
Tang Shuo thought for a moment and slowly said, "Your granddaughter's illness is due to her constitution, which is called the Xuanyin constitution. Therefore, she was born weak. Although I don't know how she survived to this day, I can only think of two ways."
"She's either using a tonic herb to prolong her life, or some other method of suppression," Tang Shuo said cheerfully, "She must be taking her medicine consistently now, right?"
Su Zhiguo frowned. Tang Shuo's analysis was correct. Su Ran's illness required a slice of thousand-year-old ginseng combined with a few common herbs daily to prolong his life.
At that time, Su Ran was critically ill, and Su Zhiguo offered a reward of 100 million yuan. Then a traveling doctor came to him. Su Zhiguo saw that he had some immortal qualities, so he agreed to let him take action.
This traveling doctor was helpless against Su Ran's illness, but gave him a prescription to replenish Qi. It was thanks to this prescription that Su Ran was able to survive until now.
In the end, the other party not only did not take a penny of the Su family's bounty, but even directly refused the reward offered by Su Zhiguo, which left a deep impression on him.
"You're right." Su Zhiguo nodded and asked, "But what does my granddaughter's illness have to do with marrying you?"
"That's the problem," Tang Shuo said. "My constitution is called the Red Yang Body, which is the opposite of your granddaughter's Black Yin Body. Her internal temperature is low, while mine is higher. But if our yin and yang merge, we will both be saved."
Su Zhiguo glanced at Su Ran, who was sitting with her eyes closed. Seeing that her granddaughter didn't show any surprise, he knew that Tang Shuo might have already told her about this method.
He thought about it carefully and felt that what Tang Shuo said sounded very absurd, but it also seemed to make sense. Otherwise, how could the other party dare to step directly into the Su family with such a theory?
"Can this method really cure my granddaughter's illness?"
"Yes," Tang Shuo replied. Although he couldn't guarantee it 100%, he naturally didn't dare to show any fear at this moment, otherwise he would most likely be thrown out by Su Zhiguo.
Su Zhiguo's dim eyes rolled around, and he winked at Tang Shuo imperceptibly. He snorted coldly and said, "That's nonsense! Someone, get him out!"
After saying that, the man in his thirties who had just taken Tang Shuo in appeared in the room silently and said to Tang Shuo, "Let's go."
Tang Shuo raised his eyebrows. The Su family had many more experts than he had imagined. He had a feeling that he couldn't see through the man in front of him and the cold-faced woman who had been following Su Ran.
After taking one last look at Su Ran, Tang Shuo followed her out of the room.
He saw Su Zhiguo's hint. Although he didn't understand what Su Zhiguo meant, he decided to obey him first.
After Tang Shuo left, Su Zhiguo asked Su Ran, who was sitting in a wheelchair, "Do you think Tang Shuo's words are credible?"
Su Ran thought for a moment and answered truthfully, "I don't know, but I do have a strange feeling about him, as if we have known each other for many years."
Su Zhiguo nodded and said with a lost look, "This Tang Shuo shouldn't be lying. If you weren't engaged to Zhao Chenru, Grandpa would definitely keep him to verify his words. If what he said is true, then Grandpa would naturally agree to this matter."
After a pause, Su Zhiguo sighed and continued, "But now you are considered a member of the Zhao family, so this matter will be difficult to handle."
Su Ran nodded and comforted him with a smile: "It's okay, Grandpa. Life and death are determined by fate. I have let it go a long time ago." Mu Sizhen carried it.
"Yeah." Su Zhiguo nodded and said apologetically, "You should go and have a good rest first."
Su Ran agreed, and then left the room at Aunt Wu's suggestion.
Su Zhiguo closed his eyes and thought for a while, then stood up and walked out the door.
…………
After Su Zhiguo said he would drive Tang Shuo out, just as Tang Shuo had expected, he was not sent out, but was taken to a room in a corner of the Su family.
It seems that Su Zhiguo did not disbelieve what he said, but was just hesitant.
An old man who refuses to die is a thief.
These old guys have more complicated intestines than ordinary people. When dealing with them, you must think carefully about what they say two or three times before you can truly understand what they really mean. Otherwise, you will have to help them count money after being bought.
Not long after Tang Shuo sat down in the room, Su Zhiguo walked in.
After sitting down in the room, Su Zhiguo looked at Tang Shuo, who was sitting calmly beside him. After a long while, he finally said, "Don't you want to know why I kept you here?"
Tang Shuo smiled and replied, "Aren't you ready to tell me?"
Su Zhiguo's expression did not change, but he was very satisfied with Tang Shuo in his heart. Tang Shuo's skill in cultivating his Qi was not comparable to that of ordinary young people, and no one knew who trained him.
"Since you know about Zhao Chenru, you must also know about the Zhao family." Su Zhiguo suddenly asked.
"I know." Tang Shuo said calmly, "One of the five major families in Yanjing."
Su Zhiguo's eyes flashed with a sinister look, and he asked arrogantly, "Even if you can cure Su Ran's illness, why would I choose you over the Zhao family in Yanjing? Zhao Chenru's family background is far inferior to yours, and he himself is no less capable than you. Moreover, the Zhao family's help to us is undoubtedly much greater than yours."
"How do you know I won't create the sixth family in Yanjing? Or even replace it myself?" Tang Shuo stood up and said seriously, "It's just a wealthy family. If he can have it, I can have it too."
At this moment, the sunlight outside the window happened to shine on Tang Shuo, giving him a layer of gold.
His eyebrows were as sharp as swords, and his spirit was high and vigorous, he was truly full of heroic spirit.
"Isn't it just a wealthy family?" Su Zhiguo was truly shocked by Tang Shuo's words.
There is often only a fine line between arrogance and self-confidence. Is Tang Shuo confident or arrogant?
Su Zhiguo snorted coldly and looked at Tang Shuo and said, "Do you know what this wealthy family represents? How many people have fought for it their entire lives without success, and instead lost the lives of their entire family."
Tang Shuo smiled and did not refute Su Zhiguo's words. He said firmly: "I will build my own wealthy family with my own hands."
