10. The first step of abusing scum
After Tang Yuansheng sent the Ji couple away, he stayed in the room, thinking of the guests outside and Tang Nan, who had not come back yet, his face was extremely ugly.
The protagonist of the banquet is no longer present, and he can fully imagine what the headline of the Qingcheng newspaper will be tomorrow?
Tang Yuansheng closed his eyes and looked down at the watch in his hand. It was 11:05 a.m., and it was only ten minutes before the banquet began, and even if it was fast, the hospital would be half an hour away.
Forget it, Tang Yuansheng sighed and shouted sideways.
"Aryan"
As the words fell, the door opened. A person who looked like a butler came in, looked respectful, and asked in a low voice.
"Master Tang, what do you command?"
"Thou shalt go down and sayβAlas! Never mind. β
Tang Yuansheng hesitated on his face, lingered in front of the table, and finally shook his hand to veto. It is related to the face of the entire Tang family, and we must be cautious. Otherwise, the headline of the Qingcheng newspaper tomorrow will be a bloody report on the Tang family, the Tang family really can't afford to lose this face, maybe now Tang Nan is on the way back, or ............
Tang Yuansheng rubbed his frowning brows, and made up his mind to wait a few more minutes, if Tang Nan still didn't come in the end, he had to give up this opportunity to declare him the heir.
Otherwise, it's a shame to have this opportunity......
"Ah Liang, you go to the gate and keep guard. Let's see if the eldest young master and the young master of the Ji family are here, if they come back, you can take them in through the back door, and you must not go through the front door, nor let people see them. β
"Young Master?"
The housekeeper's eyes condensed slightly, thinking that he had not seen the shadow of the eldest young master until now, and couldn't help but ask.
Now that the banquet is about to begin, who would believe that the protagonist of the banquet is not there? Tang Yuansheng smiled bitterly, but he didn't have time to explain to the housekeeper, and repeatedly instructed, "Go!" Attention, don't let people see it, you must be careful of the reporters outside, I don't want to hear any unfavorable news about the Tang family. β
"Yes."
The housekeeper withdrew, but Tang Yuansheng's face did not improve. Looking at the guests coming and going outside the window, he couldn't help but curse again in his heart.
Leaving the room and looking at the closed door behind him, he remembered that when he heard what he had just said, a trace of obscurity flashed in his eyes. The butler beckoned, summoned a maid, and commanded in a low voice.
"Inform the old lady that there is a change in plans." ββ
The auditorium is full of guests at the moment, and it is very lively.
Needless to say, the day when the Tang family announced the heir in Qingcheng must be grand, and the young master of the Tang family is the only male in the Tang family.
Although there are rumors that the Tang family likes men, no matter whether the news is true or not, everyone has no position to make irresponsible remarks. It's a new era, the country's marriage laws all cover same-sex marriage, and outdated views have to keep up with the times.
However, it is a pity that the Qingcheng family is still a pity, the position of the young lady of the Tang family is a fragrant bait, who doesn't want to befriend the Tang family and take the big ship of the Tang family?
The Ji couple stood in a corner where no one was paying attention, and the two looked at each other with worry in their eyes.
Seeing that all the guests invited by the Tang family had arrived, a minute and a second passed before the start of the banquet, but the figures of the two children were nowhere to be seen.
Speaking of which, it doesn't matter if Shan Libai is not alone, anyway, the Tang family's banquet has little to do with its Ji family. Nor would they be anxious to be like this.
But with Bai gone, how could Tang Nan go with him?
The Ji couple can't figure it out?
But what day is today, the day when the Tang family announces the heir. The most important protagonist on such a day actually didn't leave with his son, and then how the Tang family should round the banquet when the banquet started in a while!
Isn't this a harm to Tang Nan? If the Tang family really lost face this time, although the master of the Tang family did not blame the Ji family, then who could not guarantee that the Tang family really didn't mind in their hearts?
It's really sad for them.
Ji Ping patted Tang Xiaoruo's shoulder and comforted softly: "Xiaoruo, don't worry, maybe the result won't be so bad." What if Bai and the Tang family are on their way back! β
Tang Xiaoruo glanced at him and said coldly: "You don't have the confidence to say this, and let me rest assured." I don't know about our own son, he has the same temperament as you, he forgets the time when he has surgery, he doesn't care about anything, and he only has the scalpel in his eyes. β
The words of comfort did not have any effect in the slightest, and he was beaten upside down, Ji Ping had to change the topic with a smile, he didn't want to be burned because of his son.
Son, ask for your own blessings.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ I'm the dividing line............
The housekeeper Ah Liang stood at the gate and waited, his eyes kept looking out, his footsteps retreated and walked in place, looking at the fewer and fewer people at the door, and his heart was anxious.
Just when the butler was anxious, a familiar car came into his eyes. With a happy look, Ah Liang ran to meet him.
The car stopped, Tang Nan got out of the car first, looked at the person standing next to him, and looked surprised: "Uncle Liang, why are you standing here?" β
Seeing that it was actually Tang Nan, the joy on his face suddenly froze. Looking at Tang Nan's puzzled eyes, the words stuck in his throat.
The housekeeper stiffened his face and replied, "Young Master, you're here." His eyes unconsciously looked behind the car.
Ji Libai got out of the car, walked towards them, and took the initiative to come forward and greet, "Uncle Liang." β
On the wide road, a private car that was driving suddenly stopped in place.
Someone in the car immediately got out of the car, ran and opened the hood, and as soon as it opened, a small black smoke came out.
The man leaned in to look at it for a while, then trotted to the back door, through the window, "Old lady, it's the engine of the car that is broken." β
The car window slowly rose, revealing Lai's face, but it was not the old lady who shouted in his mouth, but a very young and beautiful young man.
"Grandma, our car broke down and is parked halfway, what should we do?" Su Qinghe turned his head and whispered to the old lady in the car.
Mrs. Tang was leaning back in the car chair with her eyes closed at this time, as if she was asleep, her chest was heaving and only the sound of breathing could be heard, and the silver thread hung quietly on the brown leather chair.
"Grandma...... Grandma"
The boy glanced at the old man, who seemed to be asleep, and shouted a few times but received no response. His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he turned his head to look at the cars that were constantly speeding outside, and looked quietly, but a trace of unwillingness quickly crossed his eyes.
Is it helping you even the day? Tang Nan -
At this time, Tang Yuansheng and the Tang family invited the guests to go around, and the banquet was staggered and lively. The mainstream media in Qingcheng City are also ready to continue, waiting for the banquet to officially start, and report on the grand occasion of the Tang family's banquet at any time.
The old lady of the Tang family has been dead for many years, so the only people in the Tang family are the old lady Tang and Tang Yuansheng, and the old lady of the Tang family worships Buddha all the year round and almost doesn't care about anything in the Tang family.
Among the only grandchildren of the Tang family, there is only Tang Nan, not only because he was born to Tang Yuansheng's original wife, but also because of Tang Yuansheng's deep affection for his dead wife. Therefore, Tang Yuansheng did not remarry, but put all his thoughts on the company and this only son.
Naturally, Tang Nan's identity as the only grandson of the Tang family has risen, although he has not officially declared the identity of the heir of the Tang family in Tang Nan before, but who in the upper circle does not know that Tang Nan is the next person in charge of the Tang family. Now the business empire created by the Tang family will be Tang Nan alone.
Although Tang Nan is famous, his ability and skills are the best among the young generation in Qingcheng. And he is the only grandson of the Tang family, and Tang Yuansheng and Mrs. Tang are very fond of him on weekdays.
has a noble identity and an excellent appearance, so he has developed a temperament that Tang Nan loves to play and is not afraid of heaven and earth.
Tang Yuansheng thought that maybe after a few years of training, he could change his playful temperament and become a qualified person in charge of the Tang family if he encountered more trouble.
But now the fun-loving temperament has been more restrained, but the self-willedness, regardless of the problem, is getting stricter and stricter.
The huge banquet said that he would leave when he left, didn't he know what today's day meant to him?
Tang Yuansheng now can't help but reflect on whether it was too hasty for him to push Tang Nan to that position early, originally the old lady said that she would grind her temperament for a few years, but he refused.
But now Tang Nan's cousin slapped him in the face loudly, Tang Yuansheng himself had to admit that it was still the old lady who saw far away, and it was indeed a risk to hand over the Tang family to him according to Tang Nan's current temperament.
But this matter is not just a matter of saying that he wants to change it, and now which person in the entire upper circle of Qingcheng does not know about this matter, and with the overwhelming reports of the news, it is too late for Tang Yuansheng to change his mind and hand over the Tang family to Tang Nan in a few years.
The remorse in Tang Yuansheng's heart was like a snowball.
"Tang Ye, Tang Ye"
A few shouts in quick succession woke Tang Yuansheng from deep thought, and there were already several brightly dressed people standing beside him, one of them shouted, and several people next to him looked at him at the same time.
And the person who called him, Tang Yuansheng knew that he was the director of one of the companies and had been on the cover of the top ten enterprises in Qingcheng.
Sense that everyone's eyes are focused on you. Tang Yuansheng's expression did not change, "Everyone, I'm sorry, it's Tang who didn't greet him well." β
"Where, where" the Tang family said such a thing, how dare everyone agree, so they had to keep refusing.
Just as the waiter next to him walked by, Tang Yuansheng took a glass of red wine from it, and said to everyone present with a smile on his face: "Everyone, my Tang family held a banquet today, and I, Tang Yuansheng, am very grateful to everyone for being able to participate." We are all friends and partners in the business of my Tang business, usually we are busy with business all year round and have no time to sit down and have a good chat, while we have time today, we will not talk about business, only happy. β
As he spoke, he turned around and touched the wine glass with the people around him, then drank the wine boldly, and raised the empty wine glass to signal, so that he looked like the Tang family was in charge.
"--Naturally, it's good-" the crowd replied in harmony.
Although everyone wondered what could make the Tang family distracted on such a grand occasion, the master obviously didn't want anyone to ask. Among them, those who had eyes could see that they kept their mouths shut about it, and as if it hadn't happened, they skipped the topic with Tang Yuansheng and talked about something else.
You come and go, just when the guests and hosts are enjoying themselves, the butler of the Tang family walked far through the crowd to this side. Tang Yuansheng saw that the hand holding the wine glass paused slightly, and his eyes immediately narrowed.
Next to them were the old foxes in the mall, Tang Yuansheng's movements they naturally saw in their eyes, and at the same time, they also keenly smelled an unusual smell.
The Tang family's family was dazzling at the banquet, and now the Tang family's housekeeper is not busy with the banquet but is here to find Tang Yuansheng, what is the matter that the Tang family's family members have to come forward to solve it!
Suddenly, their hearts became lively, and their eyes were meaningful when they looked at Tang Yuansheng. However, the look on their faces did not hide Tang Yuansheng's eyes.
Tang Yuansheng glanced at it and ignored it, his face was silent, but he cursed secretly in his heart: A group of old foxes.
He knew what was going on in the minds of these old foxes. But his heart was also worried at this moment, for fear that he would call to the gate and wait for Tang Nan's butler to bring him some bad news, so he just turned a blind eye to their tentative eyes, and now he didn't have time to deal with this group of old fritters.
But the worst thing is that Tang Nan can't make it to the banquet.
The housekeeper arrived at Tang Yuansheng's side in a moment, and shouted in a low voice, "Master Tang"
Tang Yuansheng glanced at the people around him, and everyone stood aside with their eyes when they saw this, leaving Tang Yuansheng with an open space. He put down the half-drunk wine in his hand and asked in a low voice, "How are things?" β
In the eyes of others, they only saw the Tang family's housekeeper bending down and attaching his ear, and after Tang Yuansheng said something, the expression on Tang Yuansheng's face suddenly relaxed a lot.
The housekeeper Ah Liang saw Tang Nan and Ji Libai at the gate, and obeyed Tang Yuansheng's instructions and took them to enter carefully through the back door of the mansion, avoiding the reporter to the side hall where no one was around.
It is said to be a partial hall, but the decoration inside is not inferior to the main hall, and the whole style is strictly in accordance with the decoration of European-style villas. The floor is covered with handmade zuΓ² wool carpets, and the lamps are all imported.
Everyone's banquet dresses were specially customized a few months ago, Ji Libai did not change into banquet dresses because he returned to the hospital temporarily, but left them at home, at this time, he couldn't find the clothes he was wearing in Tang's house for a while, and it would definitely be too late to go back and get them.
Although I can't find clothes that fit in the Tang family, there should be suitable ones.
The Tang family has always been a family highly respected by the upper circles of Qingcheng, and generally if a family with a little seniority holds a banquet, they will definitely invite the Tang family, so the Tang family must have a lot of dresses to participate in the banquet, and people like the Tang family generally cut clothes are definitely not one set or two, and each one may not be worn.
"Libai, you sit first. I'll go up and change my clothes first, Uncle Liang, you can find a dress for Libai" After speaking, he climbed upstairs.
Downstairs, Ji Libai sat on the brown sofa with his back straight, looking down at his watch, his sharp eyebrows furrowed slightly.
