At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Ming took Lin Muqing and Tang Ran to the San Francisco airport again, and at the same time, there was an extended Lincoln courtesy car, and there was a circle of bodyguards in black suits around them, isolating them from the crowd like an enchantment.

Zhou Ming came to pick up Tang Ran's parents, but these preparations were not to show off his wealth in front of Tang Ran's parents, maybe when he was in Nanjiang, he was a little unconvinced that he wanted to save face for himself and for Tang Ran, but now it is not necessary, because after all, it is Tang Ran's parents, although they are not related by blood, they have also raised her for more than 20 years, and it is a bit unreasonable to sarcastically mock them when they are old.

However, in order to prevent her parents from forcing her to marry again, she must also prove to her parents that she is capable of taking care of her, at least definitely better than that inexplicable Wei Hua to the ends of the earth.

It is for this reason that Zhou Ming thought about it and explained it from the car is the most intuitive, the country is not rich now, and private cars are generally a symbol of a rich boss, not to mention a longer courtesy car, so that it can explain the problem again, and it will not be the best way to stimulate the second elder too much.

Standing at the exit of the airport, Tang Ran anxiously scanned the flow of people back and forth, and suddenly she stood on tiptoe happily and waved her arms desperately, only to see a black and thin middle-aged man over there walking over, Zhou Ming had invited her parents to dinner in order to solve Wei Hua's affairs when he was in Nanjiang, so Zhou Ming still had the impression that Tang Ran's adoptive father Tang Jun.

Tang Ran looked back at Zhou Ming, and after Zhou Ming smiled and nodded to her, Tang Ran happily threw himself into the arms of the middle-aged man and called Dad.

It was only after being happy that Tang Ran suddenly realized that only his adoptive father came over, but his adoptive mother Lin Weixiu was not there.

Tang Jun didn't rush to explain, he took Tang Ran over to see Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing, Tang Jun looked Zhou Ming up and down a few times, and finally sighed and said, "Sure enough, it's still you!"

These words made Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing feel a little inexplicable, in fact, Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing had also thought about what they would say when they saw Tang Ran's parents before, and they had also thought about many situations, but they never thought that Tang Jun would be the only one who came, and he also popped out such an inexplicable sentence;

Tang Jun didn't say much about this, they all got into the car first, and after getting in the car, Tang Jun looked at the courtesy car before and after, and said with emotion: "It is worthy of the Tang family, I have never seen this kind of car in China, only I am fortunate to have seen it once in Hong Kong City, and it is only the rich and noble families who have the strength to sit, and I am afraid that I can't afford it after working in the mall for several lifetimes." ”

Putting aside self-deprecation, Zhou Ming heard the point of Tang Jun's words, and he immediately asked: "Listening to Uncle Tang's tone, you also know this Tang family, and you also know the secret of Ran Ran's life experience, right?"

Facing Zhou Ming's question, Tang Jun smiled bitterly and said: "As a member of the Tang family, how can I not know? In fact, this is also the reason why I will come to San Francisco alone today, Lin Weixiu She is just an ordinary woman, and there are some things she still doesn't want to know." ”

"Uncle, you said you are also a member of the Tang family?" Lin Muqing said in surprise.

Tang Jun nodded and said: "There is nothing surprising about this, when the Tang family was in San Francisco, they didn't want to move their family to San Francisco, and even when they really went to San Francisco, it was just a branch, and the real relatives of the Tang family back then were still here in Lingnan, otherwise after the patriarch of the Tang family suddenly died, Tang Ran and her father Tang Jingrong would not have the identity of the first heir." ”

"As for me," Tang Jun said, "if I weren't an authentic Tang clan relative, Brother Jing Rong wouldn't have been so relieved to pass on Ran Ran to me before going abroad." ”

"It's just that this identity is too sensitive in China, that's why Uncle Tang, you always say that your composition is not good, right?" Zhou Ming asked.

"That's right, I don't want to be dragged out to the streets to criticize and suffer that crime, and besides, I don't have the courage and ability of Brother Jingrong, and I don't want to have anything to do with this super family that has been away for one hundred and fifty years!"

Tang Jun laughed to himself, but his smile turned cold when he smiled, and then he asked: "Ranran, when you were in China, your mother and I hid from you that we were going to marry you to Wei Hua, do you hate us very much?"

Tang Ran shook his head and said, "Dad, I have never hated you and Mom, I know that you must have your own unavoidable hardships, right?"

"I really want to be like your mother, I just want to find you a rich man, a local object in Nanjiang, but it's a pity. Tang Jun sighed again when he said this, and told his secret, "Actually, it is your biological father's intention to let you marry in China." ”

While talking about Tang Jun, he also took out an envelope and handed it to Tang Ran, Tang Ran opened it, there were several pages of stationery inside, Tang Jun said to Tang Ran: "That is the letter brought to me by your father's friend in Tuogang City, there are a lot of written on it, but in the final analysis, the current Tang family is very chaotic, everyone wants to be the emperor of the family, if he dies one day, they will definitely fight your idea in order to fight for inheritance." ”

"At the beginning, I let you go in our house because I didn't know the situation abroad, once something happened to him, you would have no one to take care of you there, and now it is to prevent you from becoming a victim of the family political struggle, the best way is for you to find an ordinary person in China to marry first, so that even if they find you, they will give up for the sake of the family's face. ”

Tang Jun finally looked at Tang Ran and said from the bottom of his heart: "Ran Ran, I'm sorry to force you to marry someone you don't like, but that was also our last resort." ”

Almost before Tang Jun's words fell, Tang Ran threw himself into Tang Jun's arms and cried and said: "I'm sorry, Dad, I should say I'm sorry, you and Mom love me so much, how could I not think that you would suddenly force marriage to have a hard time? I actually ran away from home, I am the worst daughter in the world!"

Behind Tang Ran, Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing also looked at each other, although the scene in front of them was unexpected but reasonable, there was no such disgusting thing as using Tang Ran as a bargaining chip, or marrying a daughter to ask for a bride price.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ming said to Tang Jun: "Uncle Tang, I think I should say that I am sorry, it is that I did not understand the situation, and I also misunderstood your kindness." ”

Tang Jun waved his hand: "You did the right thing, we didn't do a good job, and that Wei Hua is not a good thing, if you really marry Ran Ran, she is not doing well, and we will have to feel guilty for the rest of our lives." ”

Thinking about it, it is true, Zhou Ming's sudden appearance completely disrupted their thoughts, but if there was no Zhou Ming, God knows what kind of marriage Tang Ran would have in the end, was he subjected to that Wei Hua's domestic violence every day, or was he still snatched by the Tang family as a weight, Zhou Ming didn't know, but Zhou Ming was sure that these were not what he wanted to see.

"Okay, don't mention those past things again, let's talk about you now, I just heard Mu Qing say that Zhou Ming is helping Ran Ran compete for the inheritance of the Tang family, right?" Tang Jun asked.

Zhou Ming shook his head: "Just yesterday, Ran Ran has officially become the patriarch of the Tang family. ”

This answer made Tang Jun very surprised and felt very incredible, but he soon came back to his senses and said to Zhou Ming very sincerely: "This must be your credit, right? Thank you very much." ”

Then Tang Jun said to Tang Ran: "It's just that this Tang family is a big family that has lasted for one hundred and fifty years, and you, the patriarch, will definitely work very hard, but you have never been in such a family, can you do it?"

To this, Tang Ran replied with great confidence: "Absolutely no problem, I will work hard to enrich myself and be a good patriarch!"

In the face of Tang Ran's confidence, Tang Jun was silent, and after a while, he sighed and said: "It seems that everything is doomed, but you may not know that when you were born, your father asked the old people in the family to show you, saying that you have the fate of Lu Hou, and your father was very strange why it was Lu Hou instead of Wu Zetian? Now I understand." ”

For this statement, Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing were stunned for a moment, they didn't expect that there were so many metaphysical things in it, you must know that Empress Lu and Wu Zetian are both powerful women in the world, the biggest difference between them is whether they are emperors or not, in other words, one has reached the pinnacle of life by himself, and the other man still needs to rely on himself from beginning to end.

Zhou Ming smiled at this: "It seems that I am destined to be a nobleman." ”

After solving these doubts, the atmosphere in the car became relaxed, and then Lin Muqing glanced at the time and asked Zhou Ming: "Look at the time, the governor should also come, have you arranged it?"

Zhou Ming nodded at this and said, "I promise that I won't let the governor lose his identity." ”

......

The flight from Brighton landed at the San Francisco airport, and Massachusetts Governors Edward and Louis stepped out of the first class cabin and were immediately surrounded by reporters waiting there, and you asked them why they were coming to San Francisco, whether they were going to attend any important event, or were they on a secret itinerary, or were they dating a sexy actress in Hollywood, or were they preparing for a possible congressional election in the future.

In the face of these sudden reporters and the questions they put in their mouths, Edward was completely unprepared, knowing that they deliberately did not take their own private jet, because they did not want to attract the attention of the media, but they did not think that they were still blocked by reporters.

Rao is Edward was used to facing reporters and was still taken aback, and finally had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "I'm sorry everyone, I'm just here to meet an old friend this time, and I don't have any other meaning, no sexy actresses, and no congressional elections." ”

After saying that, Edward ignored the reporters, and with the bodyguards out of the way, he and Louie left the airport.

When they got into the prepared car, Louis joked: "It seems that the governor is the governor, and there are reporters to follow him wherever he goes!"

Edward shook his head and said, "Do you think these reporters happen to be here? It seems that our dinner with Mr. Zhou Ming is hopeless!"

"Indeed, the appearance of these reporters is too suspicious, obviously someone deliberately arranged it, so it seems that Mr. Zhou Ming's temper is really not small, but I don't know if he can solve it in the end?" Louis said.

"It is possible to believe in him, and it is impossible not to believe. Edward said.
