Liu Xiaoyuan arrived at Tang Xuan's place, and Tang Zhongxin followed right behind.
"Dad, what brings you here?" Tang Xuan seemed a little surprised by Tang Zhongxin's arrival.
Tang Zhongxin smiled and said, "I came to see how your mother is doing." Then, looking at Yang Xiuyun on the bed, he asked, "Xiuyun, how are you feeling?"
Yang Xiuyun turned her head away, not wanting to pay any attention to Tang Zhongxin. It seemed that the hurt from back then meant that Yang Xiuyun could never forgive Tang Zhongxin for the rest of her life.
Tang Zhongxin chuckled awkwardly and said, "Xiuyun, I know you're still angry with me about what happened back then. I don't blame you. You can scold me or hit me as you please. I just ask that you don't ignore me!"
Yang Xiuyun remained silent, not even glancing at Tang Zhongxin.
Liu Xiaoyuan was very puzzled. What was wrong with Tang Zhongxin today? Why did he suddenly come to Tang Xuan's mother to apologize? Was it because of what he had just said?
Little did Liu Xiaoyuan know that Tang Zhongxin did this entirely because he heard Tang Yiting's words and learned that Liu Xiaoyuan had easily defeated Ye Zifan, which prompted him to rush over.
Tang Zhongxin did this in order to get Tang Xuan and her daughter to forgive him, and then use Tang Xuan and her daughter to tie Liu Xiaoyuan to the Tang family.
Anyone who can easily defeat Ye Zifan, a prodigy, must be a prodigy among prodigies.
Tang Zhongxin must act quickly to secure such talent; otherwise, it would be a great loss if other families snatched it away.
“Xuan’er, sometimes you should try to persuade your mother. It’s true that Dad was wrong back then, but I had my own reasons for not being able to help me…” Tang Zhongxin said.
Although Tang Xuan disliked her irresponsible father, she still respected him on the surface and said, "Dad, I will try to persuade Mom."
When Liu Xiaoyuan saw that Tang Xuan's mother was much better after taking his medicine and was even able to do some simple housework, he was very excited, proving that his pills were indeed effective.
The reason I came to see Tang Xuan this time was twofold: first, to check on Tang Xuan's mother's health, and second, to say a few words to Tang Xuan. However, since Tang Zhongxin was here, it wasn't appropriate to say anything, so I'll have to wait until another time.
"Tang Xuan, Auntie, Brother Tang, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now!" Liu Xiaoyuan stood up and said goodbye.
"Xiao Yuan, you're leaving so soon? Sit a little longer!" Yang Xiuyun said, sitting up from the bed when she heard that Liu Xiaoyuan was about to leave.
Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "No, Auntie, I have something to do, so I'll be going now!"
Tang Xuan escorted Liu Xiaoyuan to the door, and Tang Zhongxin immediately followed, saying, "Brother Liu, take care!"
"Is there anything else, Brother Tang?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked, looking at Tang Zhongxin.
Tang Zhongxin said with a grin, "Actually, it's nothing important. I just have some questions about Xuan'er that I'd like to ask you, Brother Liu."
Liu Xiaoyuan immediately guessed Tang Zhongxin's intentions. Tang Zhongxin probably wanted to sacrifice his daughter in order to win him over.
As Liu Xiaoyuan had expected, the ensuing conversation confirmed his suspicions. Tang Zhongxin's meaning was clear: he completely agreed with Liu Xiaoyuan pursuing Tang Xuan, and he wholeheartedly supported it.
It's true that Liu Xiaoyuan has some feelings for Tang Xuan, but he doesn't believe he can be bought off by Tang Zhongxin's words.
The more Tang Zhongxin did this, the more Liu Xiaoyuan disliked him.
Liu Xiaoyuan left without giving Tang Zhongxin any reply. Watching Liu Xiaoyuan's departing figure, Tang Zhongxin's face showed a complicated expression.
Tang Zhongxin was determined to win over Liu Xiaoyuan, a martial arts prodigy, but Liu Xiaoyuan simply wouldn't listen to him. Tang Zhongxin was also afraid that Liu Xiaoyuan would be recruited by other families and become his enemy.
Therefore, Tang Zhongxin was caught in a dilemma: should he continue to curry favor and win Liu Xiaoyuan over, or should he nip Liu Xiaoyuan in the bud before he was ready to grow up?
After leaving the Tang family, Liu Xiaoyuan's phone rang. It was Wang Xinyu calling. Wang Xinyu said that his father wanted to meet Liu Xiaoyuan.
Why did they have to meet now of all times? Liu Xiaoyuan knew that Wang Xinyu had probably told his father about his victory over Ye Zifan last night, which was why he wanted to see him.
"I don't have time now, let's talk about it tonight," Liu Xiaoyuan said.
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't want to attend such social events because these so-called family heads were all very cunning people who acted one way on the surface and another way in private. Liu Xiaoyuan didn't want to deal with these people from the bottom of his heart.
Before I could even put my phone in my pocket, it rang again. I took it out and saw it was an unfamiliar number.
Upon answering, Liu Xiaoyuan realized it was Ye Chengxin, the head of the Ye family, calling him. Liu Xiaoyuan was a little surprised that Ye Chengxin would call him, because he had given Ye Zifan a severe beating the night before, which was tantamount to slapping the Ye family in the face.
Unexpectedly, Ye Chengxin took the initiative to call me today, and his tone was very polite.
Of course, Ye Chengxin's reason for calling was very simple: he wanted to ask Liu Xiaoyuan if he had time and would like to invite Liu Xiaoyuan over.
Liu Xiaoyuan never expected that because of something that happened last night, he would become so sought after that all four major families wanted to win him over.
Liu Xiaoyuan had no interest whatsoever in the four major families' attempts to win him over. "I have a god-level invincible system in my hands. I'm free and happy. What's the point of your bird-like constraints?"
So, when faced with Ye Chengxin's invitation, Liu Xiaoyuan replied with the same words: "I don't have time right now, let's talk about it tonight!"
After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiaoyuan suddenly realized that the Ye family knew his phone number. But after thinking about it, he understood that Wang Xinyu must have given it to Ye Ziqi.
"Damn it, whatever your family is, I'll go back to the hotel and rest for a bit first!" After returning to the hotel, Liu Xiaoyuan lay on the bed and took a long nap.
In the sweltering summer, sleeping in an air-conditioned room is simply a pleasure.
However, this enjoyment didn't last long, and Liu Xiaoyuan's phone rang again.
"Damn, so many phone calls today." Liu Xiaoyuan cursed and then turned off his phone.
"Hello, who is this?" Liu Xiaoyuan didn't even bother to open his eyes before picking up the phone and answering.
"Who is it? Liu Xiaoyuan, you scoundrel, don't you even recognize my phone number?" Lu Siyao's voice immediately came from the other end of the phone.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately opened his eyes and said with a smile, "Siyao, I'm sorry. I had just fallen asleep when you called. I answered the phone with my eyes closed, so I didn't know it was you, Princess, calling."
Hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's explanation, Lu Siyao let him go and then told him that she would be coming to Beijing tomorrow as well.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately asked Lu Siyao what she was doing in the capital.
Lu Siyao said she came to the capital to take care of some business, but it was a private matter. Liu Xiaoyuan thought to himself, could it be that Lu Siyao missed him and took a special leave to come and see him?
