Tang Chuchu scoffed contemptuously, and the others looked just as puzzled.
"Mom, Dad."
A clear voice suddenly rang out. It was Tang Xuewu, who had finally returned.
CLICK!
Tang Xuewu walked in, supporting a man with a cane. But upon seeing Qin Long dressed in a white suit, every mber of the Tang family was stunned.
That white suit… Isn't that the man who proposed at the Sky Garden?
"Xuewu, what on earth is going on?" Zhang ilan asked, her gaze fixed on Qin Long in confusion as the others waited for Tang Xuewu's reply.
"What do you an, 'what's going on'?" Tang Xuewu asked, looking just as perplexed.
"Where did you borrow this Qin Long from?" Zhang ilan demanded, touching her chin with displeasure.
In truth, they had all guessed what was happening but simply refused to believe it.
"It was and Qin Long on the airship," Tang Xuewu said, a faint blush on her cheeks. She then carefully helped Qin Long toward the living room.
The nearby Tang family mbers froze, their mouths agape in shock.
It really was Qin Long! He was the one who knelt to propose to Tang Xuewu at the Sky Garden. And the man who kissed her passionately while holding her waist… that man was Qin Long!
The Tang family simply couldn't believe it was true. But Tang Xuewu clearly had no reason to joke about this, and the fact that Qin Long was now wearing that very sa white suit forced them to connect the dots.
"Xuewu, don't talk nonsense!" Zhang ilan hissed, clenching her teeth as she hurried after them.
Just as Tang Xuewu was about to help Qin Long sit on the sofa, she turned to glance at Zhang ilan, then let her gaze sweep over every mber of the Tang family. In that second, Tang Xuewu beca confident and resolute, her forr ekness gone. Faced with her grandfather's accusations and the family's cold stares, she had once been so fragile. But now, she was radiant, free of hesitation and timidity. She confidently surveyed all the Tang family mbers, from Tang Yuxiang to Old Master Tang, without a hint of fear.
Now that she had found a pillar to lean on, she was no longer afraid of the rumors and gossip. She had repeatedly held back to protect Qin Long, but there was no need for that anymore.
"What do you want to ask?" she said. "I'll tell you everything, but the truth might disappoint you."
Her words made everyone a little anxious.
"Who was that bum today?" Tang Chuchu asked with a cold, contemptuous look.
"What 'bum'? Say that again, and I'll rip your mouth out!" Tang Xuewu retorted fiercely. "The Longquan Grand Hotel was booked by Qin Long. That heartwarming proposal banquet was also arranged by him. You should all understand now." She looked at her family with the utmost confidence.
Upon hearing this, their expressions changed drastically as a tempest swirled in their hearts. After a mont, Old Master Tang and the others glanced toward Qin Long.
But Qin Long remained completely composed. He even outright ignored their stares, acting as if he hadn't noticed them at all.
If this had been before, Tang Yuxiang would have cursed Qin Long for being a bastard, and Tang Chuchu would have seized the opportunity to mock him. But knowing that Qin Long had booked the entire Longquan Grand Hotel left them undeniably shaken. They also recalled his entourage: sixteen top-of-the-line Harley-Davidson motorcycles and more than thirty female guards. The mory alone was intimidating.
If Qin Long really is that powerful, we can never dare to mock him again…
"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Tang Xuewu asked, looking at her family again, ready to take Qin Long to his room to rest.
Suddenly, a dazzling gleam from her hand captivated everyone's attention. The brilliant wedding ring on her finger seed to blind them all. The younger won of the Tang family looked on with imnse envy; the ring had to be worth at least several hundred thousand.
"Xuewu, what is that on your hand?" Zhang ilan asked, her eyes burning with curiosity.
"A heartfelt gift from A'Long," Tang Xuewu replied.
Her affectionate use of his na instantly ward Qin Long's heart.
"Oh my goodness!" Tang Chuchu suddenly couldn't help but exclaim, her eyes wide with shock.
"What's wrong, Chuchu?" Old Master Tang asked, startled by her outburst. It's just an ordinary wedding ring, worth ten thousand at most. Is it really worth making such a scene?
"Grandfather, this ring is from the world-class 'Destined Love' series by Wsd! Every detail is a master's work of art. This series," she explained, her face filled with envy, looking as if she wanted to snatch the ring for herself, "when paired with its matching necklace, costs over 1.3 million!"
"What? Over 1.3 million?"
The Tang family was dumbfounded. Although Tang Chuchu never got along with Qin Long and Tang Xuewu, she wouldn't lie to make them look good; if anything, she would downplay its value. The fact that even she was this shocked ant it had to be true.
A proposal gift worth more than 1.3 million! Even at the height of their family's wealth, they would never have made such a purchase. They were utterly astonished.
Even Tang Xuewu's body trembled. She had no idea Qin Long had given her such an expensive ring. He had told her it wasn't much money, but she never imagined it would be this costly. She imdiately felt uneasy and wanted to take it off to keep it from getting damaged.
The Tang family was still too stunned to react.
"Alright, I'm going to give Qin Long's right leg a massage," Tang Xuewu announced, helping him up and guiding him into his room.
Watching them leave, the family mbers looked at each other, slowly returning to their senses.
This has to be a dream, right? Zhang ilan thought, still reeling from the shock as she muttered to herself.
Tang De took a sip of tea and pinched her calf.
"Ouch!" a sharp cry echoed. "It's not a dream!"
Snapping out of her stupor, Zhang ilan imdiately fell back into a daze. Old Master Tang also stood there, looking bewildered.
"ilan, what is going on?" he demanded, glaring at her angrily. "Where did Qin Long get so much money? Didn't you say he didn't have a penny to his na? That his suitcase had nothing but a few changes of clothes? How do you explain this now?"
But Zhang ilan felt completely and unjustly blad. "Old Master, I honestly don't know what's happening!" she explained, waving her hands frantically. "But Qin Long really has changed a lot recently."
Hearing this, Old Master Tang fell into deep thought once more. He was even more puzzled about how Qin Long had managed to take back the hotel after Wang Ming had already booked it. Furthermore, the Longquan Grand Hotel had sided with Qin Long, refusing to give face even when Wang Xiuhe showed up personally.
There must be more to this story. Otherwise, the Longquan Grand Hotel would never dare to oppose the Wang family, not in a million years! If that's the case, the hotel's owner must believe that the power behind Qin Long is even greater than the Wang family's!
The more Old Master Tang analyzed the situation, the more confused he beca.
How the hell could Qin Long have more influence than the Wang family? That's impossible!
But at this mont, Qin Long clearly had no intention of engaging with them, so they couldn't get any answers out of him.
