"I’ll let you know what despair feels like!"
"Enjoy your last monts in the Tang Family!"
With a cold expression, Wang Ming slowly departed.
「Elsewhere.」
Qin Long made a trip to the Yaolong Group to consult Zhao Ruoying about so matters before riding his electric scooter back to the Tang Family courtyard.
It was almost eight o’clock, and Tang Xuewu had also returned ho early. He had just parked his scooter and was heading toward the entrance on his crutch when he heard the sound of a fierce argunt from inside.
"Xuewu, I’m putting my foot down today!"
"The mont his leg recovers, he must get out of the Tang Family imdiately."
"I’ve already made an appointnt with a specialist in the provincial capital. He will definitely be cured!"
"Not even you can stop him from leaving!" Zhang ilan’s furious voice rang out.
Hearing this, Qin Long’s expression turned cold.
The mont I recover... How dare a re Tang Family kick out? Let alone a minor family like the Tangs, even the great clans of Yenjing wouldn’t dare treat this way.
Qin Long muttered to himself as he tiptoed into the house.
"...I already hold him in my heart," Tang Xuewu’s gentle voice said, causing even Qin Long to freeze mid-step.
"You foolish girl, have you lost your mind?" Zhang ilan’s rage erupted, her voice doubling in volu.
"I’m also very curious..." Tang Xuewu said, clenching her delicate fists as she continued, "I find myself thinking of him the mont I wake up every morning. My heart feels empty when I don’t see him, but the mont I do, I feel completely content. I originally thought it was pity, but my best friend told that this is what it feels like to fall in love."
"Are you trying to anger to death? Get those thoughts out of your head right now! As long as I’m here, I will never agree to you marrying a cripple! At first, I thought this guy had so money and impressive abilities! But do you know where his money ca from? He mortgaged the Tang Family’s ancestral ho to get it! We’re spending money from the mortgage on our own family ho! And you still say you’ve fallen for a scoundrel like that?"
Seething with anger, Zhang ilan glared at her daughter.
Leaning on his crutch, Qin Long walked over.
"That is all my own money," he said, his eyes firm. "I did not mortgage the Tang Family’s ancestral ho."
"You shut your mouth!" Zhang ilan snapped. "The Old Master has the contract in black and white. Could it be fake?"
She simply didn’t believe Qin Long. Besides, the Old Master had just given her a blistering scolding, and she was still fuming. Qin Long was the perfect target on which to vent her anger.
"Qin Long, I’m begging you, please, just leave the Tang Family courtyard, will you? Leave my daughter Xuewu alone. What are your conditions? Na your price. As long as you get out of the Tang Family, Xuewu can imdiately marry into a wealthy family, beco a lady of leisure, and live a life free of worries!" Zhang ilan pleaded, her face a mask of desperation.
"I don’t agree to him leaving," Tang Xuewu said, biting her red lip. Her beautiful eyes gave Qin Long an affirming look before she turned back to plead with her mother. "And I don’t like wealthy families. I’m quite satisfied with our current life."
"You foolish girl, you don’t get a say in this!" Zhang ilan retorted. "Qin Long, are you even human? If you leave imdiately, Xuewu will regain the Old Master’s favor. On the night of the fiftieth-anniversary celebration, she will be the most dazzling star at the banquet. What can you do for her besides cause her pain and make her beg people? If you love her, then let her go!"
Zhang ilan gritted her teeth and glared at Qin Long, her face contorted with fury.
But Qin Long remained perfectly composed.
"With Xuewu’s abilities, why should she have to work under others? As long as Xuewu is willing, I will imdiately invest in a ten-billion-yuan company and hand it over to her."
Both Zhang ilan and Tang Xuewu were stunned by his words.
"And on the day of the celebration," Qin Long continued, looking at Tang Xuewu with deep affection, "I have a grand gift prepared for her. The Sky Garden at the Longquan Hotel will be our stage. That day, the Sky Garden at the Longquan Hotel will be my domain."
Leaning on his crutch, his expression was resolute, his tone powerful and unwavering.
For a mont, Zhang ilan was taken aback by his sheer presence. Even Tang Xuewu’s pretty face was filled with disbelief. She didn’t know where Qin Long got such confidence, but his eyes told her he wasn’t lying. Besides, the fiftieth-anniversary celebration was just around the corner; being publicly humiliated then would be incredibly foolish.
After he finished speaking, Qin Long looked confidently at Zhang ilan.
It took about three minutes for her to snap out of it.
"Xuewu, look at this show-off!" she spat. "He must’ve been kicked in the head by a donkey! What a damn fool! He’s saying he booked the Sky Garden? Do you have any idea how much that costs for one night? Ten million yuan, you idiot! He tried to fool us with money from mortgaging the old house, and now that he’s been exposed, he’s just spinning new lies. You probably can’t even get past their front gate!"
Zhang ilan folded her arms, pointing at Qin Long as she cursed him, before turning to glower at her daughter again.
"Sotis, what you hear isn’t the truth," Qin Long said, frowning slightly. "If you really don’t believe , you can both co with to the Longquan Hotel’s Sky Garden and see for yourselves."
"Shaless!" Zhang ilan said coldly.
However, she secretly wanted to drag her daughter along to watch Qin Long get humiliated. If she could just show her daughter this man’s extre hypocrisy, Xuewu would surely beco disappointed in him.
"Do you take for a three-year-old? You think I’ll go just because you say so?" she scoffed, waving her hand dismissively and spitting. "Don’t expect to go there and be humiliated alongside you! I, Zhang ilan, am not that foolish!"
How embarrassing would it be if we couldn’t even get through the damn front gate? There’s no way I’m going with Qin Long.
"Alright, that’s enough," Tang Xuewu said, shaking her head wearily as she tried to intervene.
"Qin Long, what will it take for you to leave Xuewu?" Zhang ilan demanded, shaking off her daughter’s hand. Her eyes widened as she scread at him, "You’ve already wasted three years of her youth!"
Tang Xuewu tried to stop her again, but Zhang ilan was relentless.
Qin Long looked at her and sighed softly.
"It’s true that I’ve held Xuewu back for the past three years," he said, his eyes turning to Tang Xuewu with extre resolve. "But from now on, I won’t let her suffer the slightest grievance. I will use everything I have to give her happiness!"
He had never made such a vow to Tang Xuewu before. After all, he hadn’t known how she truly felt about him and had only planned on compensating her with power and money. But hearing today that he was in her heart, he knew he had to devote all his emotions to her. He never expected this girl to express her love so openly, especially when he was a cripple on a crutch. How could he not be moved?
Hearing Qin Long’s words, Tang Xuewu’s delicate brows trembled, and her heart began to race as a warmth spread through her chest. She knew that for Qin Long, being able to express his love this way was a significant step forward.
