The Long’s Dining Hall did have delicious dishes and delicacies, yet they were so expensive that it made people shudder. Despite having a lot of money, Tang Xiu felt somewhat unwilling when he had to pay the bill. He wouldn’t have come here to burn his money if it weren’t for Zhengyu.

At noon, Zhengyu walked out of his room. He still looked sleepy, but he was much better. After seeing Tang Xiu, who was currently quietly reading a book on the sofa, he smiled and said, “Tang Xiu, thanks a bunch.”

“It’s nothing.” Tang Xiu smiled faintly. “Health is our most important capital. Anyways, you might as well contact Kang Xia today, and ask her to send you some our company’s health products. It will improve your physical fitness after some time.”

“The Magnificent Tang Corporation’s health products have finally been produced? When will it be released to the market?” Zhengyu’s eyes lit up as he smilingly asked.

“It should be on the 1st,” answered Tang Xiu.

Long Zhengyu clasped his hands and smilingly said, “That younger brother of mine has always been waiting for news of when the health products would be released to the market. Recently, he seems to be working on a project in Shanghai, and I heard that he is in need of quite a lot of funds. But you also know the recent situation of the Long Family. Most of our reserve funds are currently being invested in the Walled Hill Village, New City, and Nine Dragons Island. And that brat… he’s kinda short on funds, and quite a lot of it.”

Tang Xiu was silent for a moment, before he lightly replied, “If you’re willing to listen to me, don’t help him even for a penny. An uncut jade won’t be useful. He has grown up accustomed to an easy life ever since he was born. You must let him experience hardships in life. As a matter of fact, I would have directly thrown him into that situation if he were my blood brother, and not let him get even a penny from the family for a period of time, so as to make him experience how a man must strive to make money.”

“Are you really going to do that, Tang Xiu?” Asked Zhengyu with a strange expression.

“Not only that, I will even deliberately set up obstructions to make him stumble if opportunity permits,” said Tang Xiu with a cold smile. “I’ll intentionally pit and deceive him so that he will realize that making honest money is harder than swindling, for he must experience that heaven won’t open its door unless he fights for it. He must know that life is hard and money is hard-earned. That will make him cherish life and make him mature faster.”

“Are you not afraid that he will hate you if he learns about it later?” Asked Long Zhengyu.

“If I’m willing to give him all the wealth and inheritance of the family, even the position of the family head, will he hate me for that?” Tang Xiu rhetorically asked.

“…”

Zhengyu fell into silence. He suddenly understood Tang Xiu’s intention. At this moment, however, he slightly regretted not having Tang Xiu as a close relative of his; of his own blood.

_Ring, ring, ring…_

A ringtone resounded. Tang Xiu took out his mobile phone and looked at the number displayed on the screen. He furrowed his brows, because Su Yaning’s name was displayed there. He got her number from Wang Daoyuan when he was in Beijing, though he didn’t expect that Su Yaning would actually call him.

“What do you need for calling me?” Tang Xiu asked straightforwardly after receiving the call.

There was no reply from the mobile phone for a while, as a question then slowly unfolded, “You seem to know that it was me calling you?”

“Yeah.” Tang Xiu answered. “I asked your cell number from Wang Daoyuan.”

“Why?”

“Why? Then why now? I just wanna know if you’re dead or alive, so I can help grandma do something in the future!”

“…”

Su Yaning fell into silence. She didn’t speak, but Tang Xiu was not in a hurry as well. The phone call kept silent for five minutes before Su Yaning finally spoke with unusual emotion, “Can you… help my dad?”

“What kind of help?” Asked Tang Xiu.

“I know you have the ability to get him out of prison ahead of time,” said Su Yaning.

“I do have the ability to do that, but it’s not like I’m going to do it,” said Tang Xiu lightly. “People, whoever they are, must pay for what they’ve done. Two years, that’s my bottom line. My anger won’t subside if he doesn’t stay in prison for at least that long. Of course, he can release himself earlier if he has the ability to do so, and I’ll bother him no longer.”

“What’s between you and my dad that makes you discriminate him so, Tang Xiu?” Asked Su Yaning angrily.

“I don’t know what you mean by discriminating him, but what I know is that whoever bullies my mother must pay quite a terrible price,” said Tang Xiu indifferently.

Once again, Su Yaning fell into silence. Only after a long while did she finally said in a bitter tone, “I want to marry someone, and I want my parents to appear at my wedding.”

“You’re getting married?” Tang Xiu squinted his eyes. He then coldly snorted and said, “Hmph, if you dare to marry someone, I have the means to make your husband fall into despair, misery, and misfortune regardless of who he is. If I’m in a bad mood someday, perhaps this so-called husband of yours will be run over and become dead just like what your mother did, so you’ll be a widow earlier. Also, I must reiterate once again, I’m not afraid to make the one you marry die; I have enough personal contacts and money to do it.”
