Chapter 1137: Chapter 995: Change of Opinion
Although she couldn’t force it,
the gossiping nature of women doesn’t discriminate by age.
"Little Tang, when are you planning to get married?" Mother Chai asked.
"Uh... not until at least after university graduation," Tang Qing answered.
Eldest sister-in-law said, "Then you’ll be getting married quite early, probably not even twenty-three by then. You already have such a high net worth, but don’t get arrogant, you still can’t give up on your studies."
"Of course."
"If possible, you could also go to grad school, have you ever thought about studying abroad?" the second sister-in-law asked.
"I wouldn’t go if you killed me, our country is great, other countries are not fun, I really don’t want to go." Tang Qing shook his head vigorously, studying abroad? Not in a million years, what’s fun about foreign countries.
If it’s to gain world experience, 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
the ’world’ that the Command Room gathered let him directly see the nature of the world – a depth of human depravity filled with filth and darkness – hence, Tang Qing had no interest whatsoever in going abroad to see for himself.
"What does Jiaxue’s family do?" Mother Chai asked again.
"Her family, uh..."
"..."
Facing so many interrogating mouths,
Tang Qing also felt a headache, a bit like being grilled by a bunch of aunts, but he answered them all, casually dealing with it. Chai Ren sometimes wanted to interject, but found no one paid him any mind.
Alright, just quietly drink tea then.
After staying for more than an hour,
seeing it was getting late,
Tang Qing quickly took his leave, with so many ladies from the Chai Family visiting all at once, it wasn’t appropriate to have him stay over. This time, Tang Qing had simply come to see Zhan Xi. As he left, he took Chai Ren’s car as well.
Seeing the taillights disappear around the corner,
Chai Ren returned to the villa.
"Mom, you scared him away," Chai Ren said with a laugh and a sigh at them.
"That’s our way of being hospitable, this child Tang Qing, the more I see of him, the more I like him. He has an exceptional demeanor. Ren’er, this Tang Qing is indeed quite something," Mother Chai blurted out.
Chai Ren just smiled.
And went back to the sofa.
"Of course, if he were simple, how could he become Huaxia’s richest man at such a young age, with assets in the tens of billions? Just watch, this is only the beginning. In the future, his achievements, even I can’t see through them."
That was his honest thought.
To this day,
he still didn’t know the background of Tang Qing’s friend.
He only knew they wielded massive power, so much so that he couldn’t even touch the edges of it, the longer they cooperated, the more he felt a dread for him. With such a person backing Tang Qing, how could he foresee his future?
Chai Ren even wondered
if Tang Qing might be a pawn for someone.
Though it seemed unlikely, he didn’t have enough intelligence to dismiss the possibility, so there was still a chance. If that was the case, what was their purpose? Why choose Tang Qing? Were there others involved?
In short, Tang Qing was an enigma.
"What a pity, I wanted to introduce a girl to him!" Mother Chai sighed.
"Mom, don’t bother, I am good friends with both Tang Qing and Jiaxue, I hope they end up together. Honestly, if Tang Qing were to marry someone else, I don’t think I could accept it," Chai Ren shook his head.
"Why?" The second sister-in-law asked curiously.
After thinking for a bit,
Chai Ren blurted out, "That wouldn’t be the Tang Qing I know."
If even Lin Jiaxue could be abandoned by Tang Qing,
that kind of Tang Qing,
Chai Ren didn’t know how he could face him.
"I don’t understand," the second sister-in-law said, puzzled.
But Mother Chai had an inkling of understanding, after musing for a moment, she said with a smile, "It seems like your relationship with Tang Qing is really quite extraordinary, and it shouldn’t be just about money."
The fact that Chai Ren had been in danger was something she, as his mother, didn’t know.
Upon hearing this,
Chai Ren was plunged into memories.
When he and Liu Qian went to New York, USA, they almost got kidnapped by a local gang, but someone easily took care of it.
On Mu Jian’s farm, his bodyguard single-handedly killed hundreds of wild wolves, saving everyone, and he too kept his life.
Coming back to New York from Ge Feng’s house, they encountered a gang blocking the road. In that tense moment, Tang Qing didn’t hesitate to have his bodyguard draw a gun and shoot an American who was rushing toward the car where his wife, Zhan Xi, was sitting, breaking the man’s leg.
In Africa, they thought it was all over and that they’d never see Chai Ren’s pregnant wife again, but in the end, the more than a hundred people who had kidnapped him all died before his eyes, leaving no survivors, and he returned unharmed.
In Congo Gold, while he was being illegally detained by the African police of Kinshasa, a car charged out and sent flying the vehicle of the African police who had detained him, nearly crippling them.
The crisis of the usurpation of power in Congo Gold was quickly resolved.
Then, after a couple of days.
The American tycoon, who wanted him dead back in the United States, died at home due to something like the "butler’s self-redemption."
He and Tang Qing.
Their relationship wasn’t one that could just be measured in terms of interests.
The debt he owed Tang Qing.
Adding it up, it was more than just one life, how could he ever repay it? Chai Ren felt a bit perplexed.
All of these.
Chai Ren’s mother and the female members of his family were in the dark about it.
"Mom, we’re really good friends with Tang Qing, money isn’t that important, just last time in America, he even saved my life," Zhan Xi stepped out as she spoke; she knew only this incident of Chai Ren facing danger.
However.
That shot from Tang Qing.
She acknowledged him as her brother. Sometimes a woman’s emotions are just that straightforward; one incident is enough to determine her feelings about a person. She didn’t like the Chai female relatives trying to take advantage of Tang Qing.
"Saved you?" Mother Chai was taken aback.
Chai Ren came back to his senses.
It wasn’t exactly a secret that couldn’t be mentioned, and seeing Chai Ren nod, Zhan Xi smiled slightly and said to the others, "You all know about the trip Ren and I took to the United States, right?"
Mother Chai had a good memory.
"I know about that, it was last October, after your honeymoon you visited the United States, and met that Mu Jian, yes, the same one who sent the red wine and baby supplies a couple of days ago."
Because Chai Ren often complained about that person—’Muscle Man’.
"What exactly happened? What danger? How did he save you?" Zhan Xi’s mother hurriedly asked.
"At that time, we were just returning to New York from a friend’s..."
Zhan Xi narrated the events.
It wasn’t thrilling but was stimulating; hearing about Tang Qing drawing his gun without hesitation and shooting at the bad guy who was charging towards the car, the women gasped, admiringly; they hadn’t expected Tang Qing to have such courage.
"Why didn’t you tell us before?" Zhan Xi’s mother complained.
"We didn’t want to worry you," Zhan Xi looked down.
"Silly girl, such a big issue and you don’t tell us, you... you’re going to be the death of me." Zhan Xi’s mother scolded her with a stern face and even included Chai Ren in her rebuke.
"Yeah, Ren’er, such a big deal and you didn’t even talk to me about it," Mother Chai too glared fiercely at her son.
Chai Ren thought to himself: Compared to the other crises, what was this really?
Seeing the situation.
Zhan Xi quickly said, "Mom. I was the one who didn’t let Chai Ren talk about it, it’s all in the past now. I’m talking about it now only because I hope you don’t look down on Tang Qing. No matter what, I’ve acknowledged this brother, and Jiaxue too, I hope you don’t get involved."
"We were just asking, it’s not like we wanted to do anything, Tang Qing is really a good kid, next time we definitely need to invite him over and treat him well," Zhan Xi’s mother’s face lit up with a smile.
"Calm in the face of danger, decisive, and loyal," Mother Chai praised.
"Truly a perfect man, Jiaxue is really fortunate."
"This brother, I acknowledge him too," Zhan Xi’s sister interjected.
Zhan Xi added, "Right, sister, isn’t your husband working at the National Energy Bureau? I saw the Solar Energy Company under Tang Qing possesses the world’s most advanced photovoltaic technology, and it has already been internationally recognized. Isn’t our country planning to develop photovoltaic energy on a large scale? This could be an opportunity."
This is the favor the Zhan family owed him.
It had to be repaid.
Zhan Xi’s sister nodded, "I’ll ask and see when I get back; I’m not sure what stage the policy is at now."
