481: Chapter 481: The Spendthrift Wife!
Romantic Proposal!
Awkward expressions!
Bizarre looks!
To help his good son-in-law clear the suspicions, Tang Long really went all out.
He didn’t care about losing face and brought up old stories from years past.
The reason Tang Long did this was to make his daughter realize the truth.
“Alright!
Stop looking at with those weird eyes, everything I told you just now is the absolute truth!”
“I did have a colorful history with won before I t your mom, but so what?
After your mom and I fell in love and got married, didn’t we live a very happy life?
We built this group together!
If it wasn’t for the Xu Family…
forget it, let’s not talk about it!”
Tang Long stopped abruptly; he didn’t want to dredge up painful mories.
With a sigh, Tang Xiao pleaded, “Actually…
You could find yourself a stepmom!
After all, it’s been many years since mom passed away.
When she was alive, the two of you loved each other and respected each other, which was enough to honor that relationship!”
“Now that you’ve been alone for so many years, and you’re getting older, you can’t remain lonely forever, right?
You should find a life companion!”
Old Mr.
Tang snorted coldly:
“Whether I look for soone is my own business!
I make the decisions about my relationships, and as for you…
huh!
You better drop that suspicious mindset of yours quickly!
Otherwise, you’re likely to face big problems in the future!”
“The biggest taboo for a couple is suspicion!
Among all the quarrels between husbands and wives around the world, who spends too much money, who has soone else on the side, who did what—broken relationships often originate from suspicion!”
Tang Xiao pouted, “I’ve listened to you for quite a while, and all you’re doing is speaking up for Wu Jie!”
“I’m a man!
Why shouldn’t I speak up for him?
Besides, I’ve checked out this kid; his background is especially clean.
Don’t think he’s necessarily bad just because his mouth can sotis be nasty.
Those who look refined but are actually hypocritical and pretentious, they are the truly bad ones!”
With that said, Tang Long declared loudly, “Call him, now!”
“Why?” Tang Xiao asked.
“Just ask him if he’s up yet, leave the rest to !” Tang Long urged urgently.
Tang Xiao didn’t dare delay and quickly took out her phone to call Jie.
Soon, the call connected.
“Are you up yet?
It’s almost noon!” Tang Xiao asked in a neutral tone.
“I haven’t woken up yet, why get up?” Jie asked in return.
Tang Xiao raised an eyebrow: “Dad wants to talk to you!”
“Ah?
Holy shit, because of that little issue last night, you…”
Jie didn’t finish his sentence when Tang Long cheerfully interjected:
“My dear son-in-law!
I do have sothing I need to talk to you about!”
Pfft!
Tang Xiao almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
That tone…
that deanor…
Completely different from when he was interrogating and scolding her earlier!
Who is the real flesh and blood here?
Tang Xiao was more than a little angry.
Yet, Tang Long laughed and said, “Actually, it’s nothing serious.
It’s just that those three ruffian factions sent people to negotiate.
When it cos to scamming—no, I an negotiating skills, you are far superior to Tang Xiao!”
“Dad, I’ll take that as a complint!
So how did the negotiation go?” Jie asked.
Tang Long shook his head and sighed, “It went poorly!
Your wasteful wife is too impulsive, too blunt in her speech.
She made them agree to grant perpetual free license for their technology and also pay compensation of twenty billion Gold Coins each, to be paid over four months…”
Spoken concisely, Tang Long quickly summarized the negotiation.
After listening, Jie huffed lightly.
“Dad, you never ntioned it, but she’s really a spendthrift!
It took the strength of nine bulls and two tigers to breach their defense system, and then she goes and…”
“Wait a minute!”
Tang Long shouted.
His expression was one of shock as he imdiately looked at Tang Xiao.
“What did you just say?
You’re the one who breached their defense system?”
Jie replied loudly:
“Yeah!
I even had them transfer the money to Xiao’s account.
The families had already deposited two hundred million Gold Coins each as a token of sincerity.
A total of six hundred million has already been received!”
“Your daughter is already rolling in it, buying skirts that cost nearly a hundred thousand Gold Coins each, and you say that’s not squandering?
I don’t mind; I’ll consider the money as a dowry.
Yet she had the nerve to suspect last night!”
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao’s face turned ashen.
“Jie, you jerk!
Can’t I have my suspicions?
What kind of man has no grace to speak of?”
“You actually have the nerve to complain to my dad, do you want to call a press conference and let the whole world know I’m petty?”
Jie laughed, “Great!
Let’s have the whole world judge, how have I wronged you?
Whether I’ve dated before, visited prostitutes, what does it matter?
Moreover, I haven’t done any of that!”
Tang Xiao challenged, “You haven’t?
Then how do you explain your proficiency?”
“What proficiency?
That’s a man’s natural gift, okay?
Haven’t you ever watched porn?” Jie retorted.
“I have watched, but I haven’t learned anything from it!”
“So if I learned sothing, it’s wrong?”
…
Tang Long stood by, dumbfounded.
Daughter and son-in-law bickering, one sentence after another with no chance to stop, he couldn’t get a word in edgewise!
So…
Tang Long simply snatched the phone away and turned off the speakerphone.
“Alright, Jie, stop showing off your love in front of !
I’m a single dog now, can’t handle this kind of stimulation!”
Jie imdiately changed his tone, whispering softly:
“Dad, tell , am I more wronged than Dou E?”
“Yes, yes, you’ve been wronged, I’ve already given Xiao a good talking to!” Tang Long said, trying to suppress a smile as he looked at the furious Tang Xiao, “Are you fully awake?
If you are, get over here.
The three of us will have a al together, right in the President’s Office!”
“There’s no need for him to co, just looking at him annoys !”
Tang Xiao said loudly.
Tang Long glared sternly at her and quickly said, “Don’t listen to her nonsense, I’ll be waiting for you!
Hurry up and co over!”
After hanging up, Tang Long tossed the phone back to the seething Tang Xiao.
“Are you out of your mind?
All those things I just said to you, did you just ignore them?”
Tang Xiao retorted with a pout, “Of course, I took them to heart.
I’m not obsessing over it anymore!”
“Then why won’t you let him co over?
What’s on your mind?
You’re getting married the day after tomorrow, do you want to ruin everything?”
Tang Long asked in an icy tone.
“You’ve got it all wrong!
I didn’t want him to co because…
he would definitely beat up!”
Tang Xiao made up an excuse on the spot.
“Beat you up?
Hmph!
Good on him!
With you making wild guesses like that, you deserve to be beaten until you can’t fend for yourself!”
Tang Long spat out his harsh words venomously and then got up to leave.
“Hey!
Didn’t you say we were going to have dinner together?” Tang Xiao asked in a hurry.
“Dinner?
Are you kidding ?
Did your emotional intelligence get eaten by a dog?
It’s clearly an opportunity for you two to reconcile, what am I doing here?
Being the ultimate third wheel?”
Tang Long pointed at Tang Xiao and berated her, “Really, you’re no fun at all.
I bet Jie’s life with you would be utterly boring!”
“You!!”
Tang Xiao pouted and muttered, “Who talks about their own daughter like that?
Hmph!”
Tang Long turned a deaf ear and left leisurely, opening the door.
Just as he was about to close the door, he suddenly turned around and said:
“If you can’t cut it, then don’t stay in the President’s position.
My good son-in-law is always ready to step in!”
“What???”
Tang Xiao was completely furious.
Even the President’s position was going to that scoundrel Wu Jie?
Just whose biological child was she?
Angry as she was, Tang Xiao still needed to order the al.
Picking up the desk phone, Tang Xiao called her life secretary.
“Send two work als later, and tell the kitchen to prepare all spicy dishes, as spicy as they can make it!”
After giving the order, Tang Xiao hung up the phone.
The knot in her heart had been untied.
Now, what Tang Xiao was most worried about was that Jie, this ‘scoundrel’, might make a big deal out of this situation.
But…
Since Wu Jie hadn’t arrived yet, Tang Xiao didn’t know what would happen.
It’s just that her negotiation with the three scoundrels was indeed impulsive and without much consideration.
She hadn’t even discussed it with Wu Jie and had made the decision just based on a whim.
If Wu Jie called her a ‘family-wrecking wife’, maybe there was so truth to it.
After all, thinking back now, the conditions she had laid out were hardly opposed by the three scoundrels!
It was obvious that her offer was below their expectations.
Perhaps they were prepared to pay retribution of several hundred billion Gold Coins each, but as a result, she…
Sigh!
Impulsiveness is the devil!
And love really does lower one’s IQ!
Tang Xiao suddenly felt that what her father had said before he left was right.
Continuing to be ‘stupid and impulsive’, she had no business being the President!
She might as well go ho and be a full-ti housewife.
As she was lost in thought, her cellphone rang.
It was from the wedding planning company.
“President Tang, the day after tomorrow is your big wedding day.
We will enter the hotel tomorrow to set up, and we should be done by evening.
So, I’m calling to ask if it’s convenient for you to have a rehearsal at seven o’clock tomorrow evening?”
Tang Xiao’s heart suddenly fluttered.
She was getting married!
What seed so distant was now upon her!
And to think, she’d even had a tiff before the wedding…
It’s really true that good things never co easy!
“Okay!
We will all be there on ti!” Tang Xiao replied firmly.
“Great!
Additionally, we offer free wedding room decoration and enlargent of welcoming posters.
If you need them, just give a call any ti!”
Tang Xiao laughed, “No need for that, our wedding photos have been ready for a long ti, and the photography company gave us a super-large welcoming poster.
I’ll bring it with tomorrow for you to display at the entrance of the banquet hall!”
After a bit of small talk, Tang Xiao hung up the phone, and the life secretary knocked on the door to bring in the al.
“Just put it on the coffee table!”
Tang Xiao ordered, then looked down to send a ssage in her friend group.
She had to let everyone know about the wedding rehearsal tomorrow night.
If the bridesmaids and groomsn didn’t show up, what was the point of rehearsing?
While she was ssaging, she felt soone approaching.
Tang Xiao looked up and saw a sea of bright red roses.
She had no idea how many there were.
“Who has too much ti on their hands?
Don’t they know I’m about to get married?
Sending roses…”
Tang Xiao hadn’t finished speaking when she suddenly fell silent.
Because the large bunch of roses was moved aside, and before her stood a man in a suit and leather shoes, looking very dapper, the scoundrel.
He was on one knee, with a cheeky smile, beaming up at her.
One hand held the bright, stunning roses.
The other hand held a dazzling Pure Love diamond ring, sparkling brilliantly.
“Marry , extravagant lady!!”
In an instant!
Tang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat.
Her cell phone dropped onto the table with a clatter, unnoticed.
She stood up involuntarily, her hands cupped over her face, her eyes wide with shock.
The sudden romance was completely unexpected.
At this mont, why did the tears suddenly start flowing uncontrollably?
Wasn’t she determined to teach this scoundrel a lesson with those super spicy dishes?
In that mont!
Tang Xiao bit her red lips, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears…
