Chapter 1042: Getting Bullied?

Tang Xiu reached out to grab Mu Wanying’s fragrant shoulder, simply ignoring the eyes of many people around them as he smilingly said, “You have nothing to do this moment, right? If you’re free, can you help me to take care of someone? I feel a bit uneasy giving her to that Tang Wei fella.”

“Ehh?” Mu Wanying was confused and asked, “Who’s this person, though?”

“Well, she’s kinda the essence of disaster,” said Tang Xiu with a helpless face. “She’s a Star City’s local. That girl did a live broadcast when I gave treatment at the Star City Chinese Medical Hospital, exposing my face to the public. I became acquainted with her after I asked for her help to broadcast the situation with the Star City Welfare House then. Ultimately, this girl just stirred up troubles. You have heard about the major cases occurred in the capital in the last two days, right?”

Mu Wanying blinked and immediately said smilingly, “Ah, I know who she is. Isn’t she that cute anchor, Mengmeng?”

“Sure enough. You also watched that live broadcast.” Tang Xiu forced a wry smile and said, “That’s right, that’s the work of this epitome of disaster maker. I really never thought that she dared to broadcast this case until those evil guys had been dealt with. It was already too late when I found her doing it, so after she was taken away by the Security Department, I went over to take her out. But well, she probably got frightened too much and don’t want to go back to Star City by herself and insisted to came with me, hence why I took her here.”

“Ah… so it was a hero saving a damsel in distress then,” commented Mu Wanying with an odd expression. “Did she fall for you perchance?”

“I would be a God if I had such a great charm, you know,” shot Tang Xiu back smilingly. “Anyways, she’s very young and has a pure mind. I just met her a few times, so anything like falling for me is out of the question. I would’ve driven her back to Star City if it wasn’t for the fact that she has helped me with the Welfare House issue in Star City.”

Mu Wanying just chuckled in response and said, “Well, where’s she then? I’m going to look for her.”

“I’ll take you to her! She’s with Tang Wei,” said Tang Xiu.

At the other pavilion.

Looking anxious and restless, Tian Xiaomeng closely followed Tang Wei, looking somewhat like a panda being watched by the crowd. Although she was of similar age with some of the males and females in the surroundings, with some being older or younger than her, she almost had the impulse to run away after looking at the unusual bearing possessed by these young ladies and scions.

Furthermore, after she had a brief exchange with Tang Wei, she finally learned one thing—Tang Xiu’s grandfather was Tang Guosheng, the former national figure, a real big figure in the truest sense. Even Tang Xiu’s uncles who were not high-ranking officials were also top brasses in the military, much to her incessant restlessness.

However, she also realized that she didn’t have any repelling feeling after learning Tang Xiu’s real identity whatsoever. Rather, she worshipped him more. She had been having erroneous assumptions that all those scions, offspring of official as well as the second generation of the haves were just a bunch of silk pants, who had no real abilities and nothing but finely looking cases but were empty inside. But Tang Xiu… he was worlds apart from them. He had extreme expertise in Chinese medicine and could be compared to Bian Que and Hua Tuo, the Divine Doctors in ancient times. Further, he also found the Magnificent Tang Corporation, such a super company by himself.

“Did Young Master Tang Xiu bring you here?” a girl in a long gown with an attractive chignon hairdo asked with rounded eyes.

Although being very nervous, Tian Xiaomeng nodded and said, “Yeah, Tang Xiu brought me here.”

The girl looked a bit envious and said, “I really didn’t expect that Tang Xiu would bring you here. But I heard that his fiancée is Mu Wanying, though! How come…”

Tang Wei stared at her and interjected. “Spare the nonsense, will you? Mu Wanying is indeed Tang Xiu’s girlfriend, and this Xiaomeng is his friend—a good friend. You’d better not be that mindful over this, girls! No matter what the means and how wishful you are to pursue my good brother, I firmly believe that there’s no unmovable wall in the world and no unhookable boyfriend for you all.”

“Are you looking for a beating, Brat?” Tang Ying raised her fist and menacingly smiled. “Wanying is my bosom friend, yet you dare to instigate everyone to seduce her boyfriend? Just wait until I tell Wanying everything you just said, so she’ll remember you every time you see her.”

“Ugh… no-no-no. Don’t!” With a begging-for-mercy face, Tang Wei cupped his fists and pleaded. “Please forget what I just said, Big Sis! If after some time Wanying really marries Tang Xiu, then she’ll become my sis-in-law, the true one. I’ll be damned and eat bitter fruits if she remembers it then!”

After listening to Tang Wei and Tang Ying’s dialogs, Tian Xiaomeng curiously said, “You said Tang Xiu already has a girlfriend? Is his girlfriend very outstanding?”

In a flash, tens of young men and women present all stared at Tian Xiaomeng. The whole place turned silent as their eyes landed at Tian Xiaomeng like they were seeing a monster.

Outstanding… meaning?

They were all scions of notable and prominent families. Each and every one of them thought highly of themselves for being excellent and whatnot. And yet, comparing themselves with Mu Wanying, the latter was definitely more excellent than them! Be it her education, appearance, stature, and bearings, to hail Mu Wanying as a woman who deserved the First Belle of Beijing title was not an understatement.

Tian Xiaomeng’s eyes went wide as she muttered with a confused expression, “Did I say something wrong? Tang Xiu is a very outstanding man to me! He’s much better than any young man, but no girl is worthy of him if she’s not as excellent as him.”

“Xiaomeng, then, do you think you’re worthy to be with Tang Xiu?” asked Tang Wei with a strange smirk.

Suddenly, everyone else also wore strange smiles.
