Chapter 28: Chapter 29: Zhang Meilan Wants to Chop Someone!

"Could you at least give the Tang Family some face?" Tang Sen, Tang Yuxiang’s father, hinted.

The other family members also stared intently at Manager Wu. After all, they all wanted a piece of the profits from the collaboration. If they had to give seventy percent of the profits to Tang Xuewu, they would never accept it. Since it was a collaboration, why couldn’t everyone be treated fairly?

Manager Wu’s impatient expression irked the Tang family members. Hearing the question, he suddenly chuckled.

"President Tang, you and I both know the truth. Even with only thirty percent, the profit from this contract is enormous. To be blunt, do you really not know why the Yaolong Group is just handing the Tang Family such a massive contract for free? The Zhao Family isn’t stupid. They wouldn’t give you hundreds of millions in profit for no reason. It’s all because of a certain person."

Manager Wu’s words made the faces of the Tang family burn with shame. Even the Old Master’s face flushed red. He had seen the contract; the Yaolong Group was practically giving all the profits to the Tang Family. That was why he had been so desperate to secure the deal.

"You might think the Yaolong Group is being foolish," Manager Wu continued with a helpless sigh, "but have you ever stopped to think why? I have completed Madam Zhao’s task. Old Master Tang can decide what to do from here."

The finality in his tone sent the Tang Family into a panic. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Manager Wu, could we have Xuewu and the others come back tomorrow?" Old Master Tang asked tentatively, gauging his expression.

"Sure. In that case, let’s just cancel the contract," Manager Wu replied coolly. "The Yaolong Group has plenty of other companies to work with!"

His frosty voice instantly sobered the Old Master.

He was right! The Yaolong Group was a titan in Jiangzhong. Who wouldn’t want to land this massive contract?

Manager Wu had made himself crystal clear. If he left now, the contract would undoubtedly fall into the hands of another family.

"Manager Wu, I’ll call Xuewu and have her come back right now!" Although Old Master Tang was reluctant, he still dialed Tang Xuewu’s number, only to hear that her phone was turned off.

"Yuxiang, go and bring your cousin back," Old Master Tang ordered, staring sternly at Tang Yuxiang.

"My hand hurts. I’m not going," Tang Yuxiang whined, his face twisting in displeasure.

"You little brat, how dare you!" Before the Old Master could even speak, Tang Sen, Tang Yuxiang’s father, jabbed a finger at his son’s nose and cursed him out.

"Father, Qin Long said they’d only come back if we kneeled and begged them. And I just boasted that if that really happened, I’d have to get on my knees and call him ’Grandpa’ three times," Tang Yuxiang whispered to Tang Sen. "That would be so humiliating."

"You idiot! What’s the big deal about calling someone grandpa? Get going!" Exasperated, Tang Sen kicked his son.

Throughout the exchange, Manager Wu quietly sipped his tea as if nothing was happening at all. Only by perfectly carrying out Madam Zhao’s orders would he have a chance at being entrusted with greater responsibility.

"And you, Chuchu. You and your brother go and bring Xuewu back," the Old Master commanded, his tone exceptionally severe. "I don’t care what you have to do. Even if you have to kneel and kowtow, you will get your cousin back here. Otherwise, don’t even bother coming back yourselves."

Tang Chuchu and Tang Yuxiang were extremely unwilling, but they had no choice. If they failed their grandfather’s task, their houses and cars would likely be taken away. They didn’t want to become penniless.

「In the Tang family’s small courtyard.」

"Qin Long, why did you turn my phone off?" Tang Xuewu asked. As soon as Qin Long had gotten home, he had turned her phone off.

"It’s easy to send a god away, but hard to invite one back," Qin Long said coldly, lounging on a recliner. "They have to come and personally ask us to return."

Tang Xuewu was taken aback. "Will they really come and ask us back?" she asked, her voice full of doubt.

Qin Long gently patted her hand. "I told you, you’re the key to all this. Without you, they will regret it deeply. If they want to move forward, they will definitely ask you to come back."

The intimate gesture made Tang Xuewu blush.

"Qin Long, you bastard! I won’t let you off today!" Zhang Meilan shrieked, storming out of the kitchen with a cleaver.

Tang De lunged forward, seizing her hand that held the cleaver and pulling her back by the waist. But his wife thrashed like a feral cat, shoving him back and stunning him. It was all because of this cripple that Xuewu was driven out of the Tang Family! She wanted to kill Qin Long.

"Mom, it has nothing to do with Long! It was my choice," Tang Xuewu said, stepping in front of Qin Long to shield him.

"You foolish girl!" her mother raged. "Think about your own future! You took care of him for three years, that was more than enough! Not only is he ungrateful, but he got you thrown out of the Tang Family and made you lose your job! I told you not to take him in back then, but you wouldn’t listen, and it made the Old Master treat us with such disdain! I put up with all of that, but why did you have to provoke Tang Yuxiang today and completely ruin us? It’s only been a few days since that business with the poisoned wine, and now you go and fucking provoke those shameless cousins of yours!"

Zhang Meilan grew more and more furious, so enraged she looked ready to hack Qin Long in two. If Tang De hadn’t been holding her back, she might have.

"Meilan, what are you doing? Put the knife down!" Tang De yelled, wrestling with her.

"Tang De, you bastard, let me go! My life was over the day I married you! I absolutely will not let this cripple ruin my daughter! Today, either he dies or I do!"

With a sharp twist, Tang De wrenched the cleaver from her hand and quickly hid it. Zhang Meilan collapsed to the ground and threw a spectacular tantrum, wailing and crying until her face was a mess of tears and snot.

"They will come back on their knees and beg Xuewu to return," Qin Long stated calmly.

"You absolute moron!" Zhang Meilan shrieked. "The Old Master has always had the final say. He was so furious today that he’ll never forgive us in this lifetime, let alone ask us to come back! Has a donkey kicked you in the head? Three years ago, just because we took you in, he threw us out of the main house and into this outer courtyard! He took back all our shares and benefits! This family has been surviving on the salaries of Xuewu and your father. Now that those are gone, how are we supposed to live?" she wailed, slapping the ground with her hands.

KNOCK, KNOCK!

A sharp rap came from the front door. Tang De immediately went to open it and was surprised to find Tang Chuchu and Tang Yuxiang standing there.

Zhang Meilan and Tang Xuewu were both startled. Qin Long, however, remained completely unperturbed.

"Aunt, Uncle, what are you all doing?" Tang Yuxiang asked. He was holding two cartons of Zhonghua cigarettes, with a case of Moutai liquor cradled in his arms.

Tang Xuewu was astonished to see them. Zhang Meilan quickly patted the dirt from her clothes, wiped her face, and shot a suspicious glance at Qin Long before she went to meet them.

Tang Yuxiang and Tang Chuchu set down the gifts and greeted Zhang Meilan awkwardly.

"You’ve already thrown us out of the Tang Family! Are you here to finish us off?" Zhang Meilan snarled. "Let me tell you, I’m not someone to be trifled with!"

She stormed into an adjacent room, and her roar echoed from inside. "Tang De, where did you hide my knife! I’m going to hack these two little bastards to death today!"

She hated Qin Long to the core, but that didn’t mean she would let anyone else bully her precious daughter. Unable to find the knife, Zhang Meilan emerged from the room brandishing a large broom, forcing Tang Chuchu and Tang Yuxiang to back away in fear.
