“Ring, ring, ring…”
Tang Yunpeng’s mobile rang. As he answered the call, he said a few words and then put the mobile away, “Mother, Second Uncle, Tang Dong and Tang Yan are in Beijing Airport, they will arrive an hour later at the latest.”
The smile on Qin Changyue’s face was getting bigger. She then sighed, “Your Second Uncle is staying in Jingmen Island and hasn’t returned for a full five years already. I didn’t expect that because of Xiu’er’s matter, he would also take a special trip here. Finally, our Tang Family have all been gathered together.”
Tang Guoshou at the side snorted coldly, “Hmph, Second Big Brother hid in Jingmen Island all these years and enjoyed a peaceful life, leaving me and Eldest Brother to deal with the terrible mess in Beijing. This time he’s coming to Beijing, so I have to make him bleed and give me a few slaps.”
Qin Changyue laughed, “Third Brother! You and your Eldest Brother are actually well aware inwardly, right? Even though Second Brother lives in Jingmen Island, but he has brought us, the Tangs, many benefits all these years. But alas! You don’t want to give him face. Besides, the waters in Beijing are too deep, so if our Tang Family is defeated one day here, we’ll have Jingmen Island as our retreat point.”
Tang Guoshou was silent for a moment before he forced a smile and said, “Sister-in-law, I actually understand what you’re saying. It’s just that, when I think about how Second Brother enjoys life in Jingmen Island while Eldest Brother and I are being kept busy in Beijing, it kinda makes me quite vexed! Bah, let it be. I won’t grumble in front of so many juniors.”
“Hahaha…”
“Hehehe…”
The other Tangs couldn’t help laughing.
Quickly, Tang Guoxing, along with Tang Dong, Tang Yan and the other four or five other family members arrived. Tang Guoxing’s body wasn’t in a good condition. He was quite frail, looking sick and pale, yet, he was particularly in high spirits when he bickered with his Third Brother, Tang Guoshou.
At the highway intersection in Beijing.
Tang Xiu’s Land Rover was stopped by the police because of his license plate’s number limit. As a result, the highway police patrol was examining Tang Xiu’s driving time and discovered that his length of experience as a driver was in violation of traffic regulations.
“Officer, could you get around the regulations this once?”
Sitting in the driver seat, Tang Xiu asked the traffic police officer.
The expression of the several traffic police officers was serious. One of them shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, Sir. I’ll have to ask you to get off the car.”
At this moment, Tang Min, who was sitting in the back seat, slowly opened the rear window. She handed out a credential document and said lightly, “Stretch the rules. We have important matters.”
The traffic police took the document. As he eyed it, his complexion changed greatly and immediately saluted toward Tang Min and respectfully spoke, “Hello, Minister Tang, I didn’t know that you were in the car, so I hope you can forgive us. Please…”
Having said that, the traffic police officer returned the document to Tang Min.
Tang Min nodded. She then faced Tang Xiu and said, “Let’s go! It’s alright.”
Tang Xiu’s eyes swept traffic police officers outside. He started his car and drove toward the two Audis that were parked on the roadside two hundred meters in front. He secretly lamented inwardly: _“Authority is really a good thing. If it was ordinary people, perhaps not only would they have to accept fines and have penalty points on their driver’s licenses, they also might have to face an administrative detention.”_
At Tang Family’s ancestral residence.
Tang Xiu parked the car as his eyes flashed. Just as he entered the entrance to the lane, he saw four armed security guards standing guard over there. Along the way, at least a dozen or so guards were pacing back and forth in the vicinity, either the ones that were in the open or hidden. At the front door of the Tangs’ ancestral residence, there were also two guards in military uniform with white gloves and armed firearms.
However, the sight that attracted his attention was not those guards but the dozens of members of the Tang Family that were standing outside the courtyard. The first one who caught his eyes among the crowd was the silver-haired old lady who was in front.
“Second Sister-in-law, Tang Xiu, let’s go.”
Tang Min smiled.
Tang Xiu nodded calmly. He then turned around and looked back. He saw that his mother was somewhat restless and anxious. He then spoke to her, “Mom, let’s get off!”
Su Lingyun hesitated before she nodded silently.
Qin Changyue’s vision had been staring at the three cars. When she saw her husband, Tang Guosheng, she rushed excitedly and asked, “Where’s my grandson and my Second daughter-in-law?”
With a smile hung on his face, Tang Guosheng pointed at the Land Rover Tang Xiu and Su Lingyun were getting out from.
Qin Changyue’s eyes instantly locked on Tang Xiu. She walked toward them staggering somewhat. As she arrived in front of Tang Xiu, her quivering hands grabbed Tang Xiu’s arms with a face full of excitement as tears broke down from her eyes as she sobbed, “Y-you… you’re my grandson, my dear grandson?”
Tang Xiu frowned and somewhat had the urge to repel the old lady, as well as rejecting the other Tangs. After a moment of silence, he said slowly, “I am, nominally.”
