Chapter 238 (2/2)

“You owe him money? For what?” Long Zhengyu was puzzled.

Tang Xiu smiled, “Chu Yi sent me a box of precious medicinal herbs and I haven’t paid him for it yet. Well, forget it. I won’t mention this matter for now since I’ll pay it back a while later after I got some money. Besides, he’s a rich boss, he’s not short of money.”

Long Zhengyu laughed, “That’s true. But, are you short of money recently? I bumped into Kang Xia a few days ago when you called her to transfer you some money.”

A few days ago?

Tang Xiu understood in a flash, asking, “You mean that 20 million?”

“Yea!” Long Zhengyu nodded.

“I was going to buy something and needed 20 million. I only had a few million so I called Kang Xia to send more! Actually, it’s real. I’m really poor, having no money and can only become a freeloader. But you’re the famous Young Master Long, young and rich, would you please give me some pocket money? You don’t have to give much, though. If you have the nerve to give me 1.8 billion yuan, I’m sure I won’t refuse it.” said Tang Xiu. [1]

“Go to hell!” Long Zhengyu laughed and cursed.

The two laughed merrily and finally arrived at the presidential suite of Long’s Dining Hall. Seeing Bai Tao and Chu Yi, the four young men gathered and begun drinking.

“Ring, ring, ring…”

Just as Tang Xiu was about to double up the foreign wine into his stomach, the mobile in his pocket rang. He took out the phone and saw the caller ID. It turned out to be his mother. He immediately made an excuse to the others. Whilst walking outside, he answered the phone and said with a smile, “Hi Mom, something up?”

Su Lingyun’s slightly crying voice came out of the phone, “Xiu’er, can… can you come back now? Your grandma… your grandma is injured. I want you to accompany me back home to see her!”

Grandmother?

An honest, genial face appeared in Tang Xiu’s memory. Although 10,000 years had lapsed, he still clearly remembered his grandmother’s face. He also remembered how she deeply cared for him in his childhood, more than she cared about the Su siblings.

“Mom, no need to worry. Can you tell me what’s going on exactly? Grandma is in the countryside, how was she hurt?” asked Tang Xiu.

Su Lingyun answered, “I don’t know the details. But it looks like some people bullied your grandma and beat her. It’s your second Aunt next door who called me. Your grandma has been sent to the county hospital by them, but I don’t know anything else.”

Tang Xiu replied with a deep tone, “Don’t worry, Mom! I’ll go back to South Gate Town immediately to pick you up. We’ll go to ancestral home tonight! Trust me. As long as I’m there, grandma won’t have any troubles!”

“Alright!” Su Lingyun replied.

Tang Xiu hung up the phone and went back into the room. He then spoke with a heavy tone, “Something happened in my ancestral home, so I have to leave now. Please continue your fun and put the bill on me since the Long’s Dining Hall’s membership seems to provide this service.”

“Tang Xiu, what happened? Do you want our help?” Long Zhengyu was confused and asked.

Tang Xiu shook his head, “No need for now. I’ll contact you if it’s necessary later! Well, I gotta go now!”

Having said that, he picked up the document folder and quickly left the presidential suite.

Coming down to the underground parking lot, ignoring that he had just drunk a lot, he drove the SUV and quickly returned to South Gate Town.

At this time, with worry all over her face, Su Lingyun was standing in front of the villa’s courtyard entrance, waiting. Upon seeing a car stopping in front of her and Tang Xiu getting out from it, she was astonished and immediately asked, “Sonny, where did you get this car from? Also, when did you learn to drive?”

“I went to a driving school to take the driver’s license test some time ago, and I just got it today. The car was gifted by my friend! Mom, take your things. We’ll go to our ancestral home tonight.”

“You… you’ll drive us there? Are you sure you can do it?” Su Lingyun said.

“Mom, I have a driver’s license, so naturally it won’t be a problem,” said Tang Xiu.

Su Lingyun nodded, “My luggage is already packed up. Pack your stuff first, perhaps we’ll have to stay there for some time.”

Tang Xiu was silent for a moment. Then, he dialed Kang Xia’s cell number. After she picked it up, he said, “Can you do me a favor? It’s private!”

“What happened?” asked Kang Xia.

“My mother and I need to go to our ancestral home. Although there are nannies here to look after Yinyin, I don’t feel relieved. Can you stay in my house in South Gate Town while I’m away to take care of her?” said Tang Xiu.

Kang Xia said, “No problem.”

Tang Xiu thanked her and then entered the villa to pack his things. A few minutes later, he casually grabbed several sets of clothes. Then, along with his mother—Su Lingyun, he drove the car toward his ancestral home’s direction. Since he only got his driver’s license, he didn’t drive too fast and could only use the navigation system to find the road there.
