178: Chapter 178: Reward?
Clubbing?
Assassin?
Wu Jie responded with a forced smile, “If I were an assassin, would I be so bored out of my skull to be fishing here?”
Tang Xiao threw several darts she found on the ground in front of Wu Jie.
“Then how do you explain these?
Did you find them in the car of those two assassins that were burned to death?”
“I gave them a try.
These darts are made of special material, ingeniously designed, easy to throw and have powerful attack capabilities.”
“The darts I found in the orchard were almost embedded in the tree trunks.
If they were to penetrate the human body, death would certainly be inevitable!”
Wu Jie watched the float without any expression, “Explain what?
What’s there to explain?”
Tang Xiao was taken aback, then laughed, “That’s true.
You don’t have to explain anything to .
I was being too nosy.”
It is said that won are creatures of curiosity.
Listening to gossip, spreading gossip… A woman’s curiosity is far greater than a man’s.
Whether it’s counterfeit money with hidden drugs, or special darts, Tang Xiao felt Wu Jie had many secrets she wanted to uncover.
If only…
Wu Jie’s response just now made her realize sothing.
Why does Wu Jie need to explain?
The two are partners, not a real husband and wife.
Not only did Wu Jie not harm the Tang Family, but he also helped them in every way.
Why should Tang Xiao insist on getting to the bottom of it?
The night breeze was gentle.
It brushed Tang Xiao’s hair and made the willow branches by the river dance.
In the babbling river, the glowing floats bobbed with the waves.
Suddenly!
The float sank sharply, bending the fishing rod.
Wu Jie imdiately reeled in, and a palm-sized crucian carp was quickly dragged out of the water, flouncing about.
After catching the carp, unhooking it, and placing it in the basket, Wu Jie skillfully baited his hook, ready to continue fishing.
“You’re quite adept at this.
Did you often fish in the countryside?” Tang Xiao asked with a smile.
“In the countryside, there were no amusent parks, and we didn’t have a ga console at ho.
Aside from climbing trees to rob nests and swimming in the river, what else was there to do?”
Wu Jie cast his fishing line, just about to continue fishing, when Tang Long’s shout ca from the pavilion.
“You, co over here!”
Tang Xiao yelled towards the shaded darkness under the trees.
The hidden guard quickly jogged over to help Wu Jie with the fishing.
When the two reached the pavilion, ng Sihua had already left.
“Let’s be forgiving when we can!”
Tang Pingde stood up, leaning on his cane.
“Since all the incidents originated and developed from ng Changxin, there’s no need to be harsh on ng Sihua.
It’s not right to make the son pay for the father’s debts!”
Wu Jie nodded slightly.
What the old man says is always right.
After all, my marriage to Tang Xiao is fake, and whatever happens between the Tang and ng families has nothing to do with .
“Old Master, I’ll take you back to your room!”
Tang Xiao supported Tang Pingde, calmly walking away.
In the pavilion, only Wu Jie and Tang Long were left.
“Sit down!”
Tang Long glanced at Wu Jie while setting up a chess ga and said, “You played a significant role in settling the ng Family matter.
Tell , what reward would you like?”
Wu Jie laughed, “Dad, you’re joking.
Since we’re family, why stand on ceremony?”
“That may be so, but I still want to show my gratitude,” Tang Long said with a slight frown, lifted his hand to make a move on the chessboard, then suddenly laughed, “They say a car represents a man’s face, but the cars you and Xiao drive are completely mismatched.”
“Really?” chuckled Wu Jie.
“I think they suit our personalities perfectly!”
Tang Long laughed “Hm” in response.
“Her rcedes G550, an all-terrain SUV, rugged and domineering in appearance, bold and powerful—just what a man would love!”
“And yours?
The Jeep Cherokee, a family-oriented urban SUV, looks young and stylish, but isn’t it more suitable for Xiao?”
“Besides, the price disparity between your car and his is just too great.
If word got out, people would surely think I’m favoring one over the other, neglecting my son-in-law!”
Wu Jie laughed and said, “A car is just a ans of transportation to .
I’m not putting on airs or showing off, so there’s no need for an expensive car that costs millions.”
“But you can’t drive sothing too shabby either!
Now that you’re not only the Tang Family’s son-in-law but also the Director of the Supervisory Departnt of the group, and you might be promoted in the future if you have the ability, you must change your car!”
With a bang, Tang Long made his move in the board ga, taking down Wu Jie’s ‘chariot’.
“Since that’s the case…
I think your rcedes-Maybach S680 is pretty good!” Wu Jie said playfully.
Tang Long raised his eyebrow, chuckling in surprise.
“A car worth over three million, how could it be bad?
If you really want to drive it, then I might as well hand over the chairman’s position to you as well!”
“Err…
no need for that, I was just joking!”
As Wu Jie poured tea and water, he casually joked:
“Besides, whether or not to change the car depends on Xiao’s decision.
She’s the one in control of the property.”
Tang Long grunted in acknowledgnt, saying:
“Anyway, you two figure it out.
You need to hurry up with changing the car and taking wedding photos.
You have to get married next month!”
After sweeping Wu Jie off the ga like a whirlwind, Tang Long got up grumbling:
“Such a lousy player, no fun at all, I’m out!”
He walked away from the pavilion, and Yu Dong imdiately followed him with quick steps.
Soon, they crossed the river and drove off in the rcedes.
“Money is sweet, huh!
An armored rcedes, just replace a bulletproof glass at the 4S shop after getting shot, and you’re good.”
Wu Jie mused aloud, cleaned up the pavilion, and went back to fishing by the river.
Before long, Tang Xiao returned.
“It’s almost ten o’clock, you’re still fishing?”
“Let’s go, let’s go!”
Wu Jie packed up his fishing rod and basket, greeted the old master in the courtyard, and then crossed the river back to the parking lot.
Once in the car, Tang Xiao asked, “What did Dad talk to you about?”
“He wants to reward with a car more fitting for my status.
I said I wanted a rcedes-Maybach, but he refused!”
Tang Xiao humd a laugh, “You don’t ask for little, do you?
A luxury car worth three or four million right off the bat!
Honestly, sothing around one million like a rcedes S350 or a BMW X6 wouldn’t be too bad.”
Wu Jie chuckled, “Let’s wait until this car breaks down before talking about it!”
Tang Xiao glanced at him sideways, speechless.
The car was less than a month old, with not even three thousand kiloters on it.
Wu Jie thinking about waiting until the car breaks down to change it…
might as well just say he doesn’t want to switch, but prefers the cash instead.
After a while, Tang Xiao suddenly rembered Zhu Cui.
“Oh right, Xin’er took Cui away, where is she staying tonight?
She still has to go to Tianyuan University tomorrow morning to complete the paperwork before attending classes, right?”
Wu Jie imdiately called Zhu Cui, but no one answered.
He did get through to Tang Xin, but was t with deafeningly loud music.
“Jie, co on over and play!
We’re at SKA clubbing, it’s so lit!”
Tang Xin’s voice was high-pitched and wild.
True to being the Tang Family’s number one crazy girl.
The two exchanged worried looks.
“Damn!
You actually took Cui clubbing?” Wu Jie shouted angrily.
“What?
I can’t hear you!
If you’re coming, hurry up!
Table Eight is waiting!”
After Tang Xin yelled out, she began to scream and shriek.
In between the pounding beats of the music, there were plenty of cheers and screams.
After hanging up, Wu Jie cursed, “She’s really crazy!”
“Cui is a bit introverted and doesn’t talk much, so I let Xin’er take her out to see the world.
I didn’t expect this crazy girl to…”
“She’s not introverted, she’s just not familiar enough with people and shy.
Yet it’s good for her to broaden her horizons, and with crazy Xin’er, she’s unlikely to be bullied!” Wu Jie asked: “But do you know how to get there?”
Tang Xiao rolled her eyes.
“What a joke!
I never go to nightclubs, how would I know the way?”
Wu Jie was at a loss for words and imdiately set off for the club following the navigation…
