Heavenly Dragon Doctor Son-in-Law-Chapter 236 - 237 Tang Family’s Choice!

Tang Yuxiang sneered, clearly unconvinced.

Upon hearing his words, Mrs. Zhao, far from being angry, was actually pleased. She let out a helpless sigh. "A phoenix is only reborn through Phoenix Nirvana, and a pupa only becomes a beautiful butterfly by breaking out of its cocoon. It is precisely because of this forbearance and magnanimity that Young Master Qin is no ordinary man. When he rides the wind, he will become a dragon. He may be quiet now, but his debut will be astonishing! The Tang Family had better consider this carefully!"

With that, Zhao Ruoying strode toward the door. The dozens of female guards behind her immediately followed.

RUMBLE!

The roar of the private jet sounded once more. As Zhao Ruoying and her entourage disappeared into the sky, Tang Sen rushed to see them off, but she didn’t even spare him a glance.

Ten minutes later, the hall was deathly silent.

The members of the Tang Family were lost in thought, their expressions incredibly grim. Zhao Ruoying’s visit had been a stark warning. Even now, Old Master Tang was still baffled, not quite understanding what had just happened.

Half an hour later, Tang Yuxiang finally worked up the courage to speak. "Grandfather, we..."

The other family members also began to snap out of it. Tang Sen looked at the old man and asked, "Old Master, could this Qin Long actually have some real power?"

But Old Master Tang was still mulling over the recent events. "It must be true," he declared, slapping the table with a look of firm resolve. "It was Qin Long who secretly helped us with the big order from the Yaolong Group."

He recalled the last time they had held a public "trial" for Qin Long, forcing him to leave. Back then, Qin Long had furiously declared that he could ruin the Yaolong Group deal with a single phone call. The family had dismissed it as a bluff. But then, the large order went through, and Mrs. Zhao had mysteriously shown up at their door looking for Young Master Qin. Connecting all the dots, it became clear that Qin Long had been telling the truth. They simply hadn’t been willing to listen. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Alright, let’s analyze this situation," Old Master Tang commanded, scanning the faces around him.

"Grandfather, I think this has to be a conspiracy between Qin Long and Mrs. Zhao to fool us," Tang Yuxiang said first, looking at Tang Chuchu with confidence. He practically spat the words out, his teeth clenched in hatred.

"Exactly, Grandfather! They must be in cahoots!" Tang Chuchu added, slapping her thigh in furious agreement.

"Utter fools!" Old Master Tang slammed his cane hard on the ground. His roar of anger made them both flinch and fall silent. "I may be an old man with failing legs, but my mind is still perfectly clear! Mrs. Zhao is the Iron Lady of River Center. Would she really put on an act for Qin Long? You two have gone too far! To slander Qin Long so shamelessly... how dare you?" he raged, throwing his teacup to the ground and pointing a trembling finger at Tang Yuxiang and Tang Chuchu.

Tang Yuxiang muttered defiantly under his breath, biting his lip, "Grandfather, didn’t you slander him too...?"

Instantly, the old master’s face flushed red.

It was true, he had slandered Qin Long in the past. But that was because the boy, a fool back then, had constantly dragged Xuewu down and tarnished the Tang Family’s reputation. Recently, however, Qin Long had recovered his memories and could take care of himself. More than that, he had used his Golden Needle to pull him back from death’s door during a crisis. And now, he had helped the family secure the massive order from the Yaolong Group. How could he still be the same crippled man everyone used to mock? Lately, Old Master Tang had felt a growing sense of gratitude toward Qin Long.

Tang Sen chimed in, a puzzled look on his face. "Old Master, it seems the Yaolong Group order really was thanks to Qin Long. I never expected him to have connections that deep—getting the Iron Lady, Zhao Ruoying, to personally step in. He’s really not as simple as he seems, is he?"

He had never paid much attention to Tang Xuewu’s side of the family, so he had no idea how Qin Long had managed it.

At that moment, Tang Chuchu handed him a fresh cup of hot tea. Old Master Tang took it, sipped, and scanned the people around him. "Alright, we must make a decision! Everyone, share your thoughts!" He was making it clear: they had to choose between Qin Long and Wang Ming as his granddaughter’s husband. A choice had to be made.

Tang Yuxiang kept analyzing the pros and cons, consistently speaking in Wang Ming’s favor. "Grandfather, even if Qin Long did get us the Yaolong Group deal, it doesn’t mean much. He might just have some scheme going with Mrs. Zhao; it doesn’t reflect his own strength.

"But Wang Ming is different. He’s a young master with an impeccable pedigree, the heir to the Wang Family. So even if Qin Long knows a few rich people, he’s no match for Wang Ming today. As for what Qin Long might become in the future... that’s a different story entirely."

After a moment of thought, Tang Sen also stated his view. "Father, Yuxiang has a point. Qin Long only has potential, and I can’t let Xuewu marry a man who is nothing more than potential. After all, Young Master Wang was born at the finish line Qin Long is struggling to reach. Besides, he and Xuewu make a perfect match."

The others around the room nodded in agreement. The Wang Family was a newly ascended first-tier family in River Center with powerful backing. So what if Qin Long was friends with Zhao Ruoying? That just meant he knew how to ask for help. In contrast, the Wang Family’s power was immense. The two were worlds apart.

Tang Chuchu pouted disdainfully. "Grandfather, you have to choose correctly! Qin Long is friends with Zhao Ruoying, sure, but he owes her a favor that will have to be repaid someday. It’s not his own power. Just look at the matter of booking the Sky Garden at the Longquan Hotel. Could Qin Long do that? He might have some money, but when it comes to real power and influence, Young Master Wang crushes him. Compared to Young Master Wang, he’s less than nothing!"

Old Master Tang took a deep breath and waved his hand. "Yes, you’ve made your points. However, there’s no need to rush to drive Qin Long away just yet. We’ll wait until Young Master Wang’s proposal to Tang Xuewu is successful. At the fiftieth-anniversary celebration, when Xuewu and Wang Ming are joyfully married, Qin Long will leave of his own accord."

Old Master Tang had still chosen Wang Ming, discarding Qin Long.

「At the Tang family’s small courtyard」

After leaving the Tang family’s main estate, Zhao Ruoying went straight to the small courtyard where Qin Long was staying. Her good intentions had backfired, and she knew she had to get his forgiveness. It was a matter of principle. "Young Master Qin, I’m so sorry," she began. "Wang Ming played me for a fool..."

"Director Zhao, it’s nothing," Qin Long said with a faint, unbothered smile. "I’ve already seen right through him."

Hearing this, Zhao Ruoying wiped the cold sweat from her brow in relief. "Young Master Qin is as brilliant as they say. I was terrified that I’d made a terrible mistake and caused a rift between you and Miss Xuewu. That would have been a grave sin on my part!"

"It was a trivial matter," Qin Long said, leaning on his cane as he started to air out a quilt. Seeing this, Zhao Ruoying immediately rushed over to help him.

"He’s just a pitiful ant," Qin Long said, completely dismissing Wang Ming. "As for his little tricks, I see them as clear as day."

He was once the Heavenly Dragon. Countless souls had fallen to his Skybreaker Sword—many of them peerless geniuses from enemy nations, masters of strategy who could command entire countries.
