Chapter 69 – 69: With Great Righteousness

Chen Yu’s expression was quite a spectacle.

“Mr. Tong, you’ve misunderstood, Xiaowei isn’t my girlfriend.”

Tong Ming’s eyes immediately lit up, “She isn’t?”

A furious anger erupted from Tang Long’s eyes, “What? That disobedient wretch is here?”

Chen Yu nodded, “She’s upstairs eating, she just finished a painting these past couple of days, quite exhausted.”

Tang Long was immediately so angry he couldn’t contain himself, rolling up his sleeves preparing to go upstairs.

“Really went off to paint! She ignores the huge family business I have, and does nothing all day long…”

Chen Yu quickly stepped forward to block Tang Long, “Sir, this is my place after all, so I hope you won’t go too far.”

Tang Long was stunned, no one had ever dared to talk to him like this.

“And you are?”

Next to him, Tong Ming coughed twice, “He’s the lad I’ve taken a liking to.”

Tang Long raised an eyebrow, “Not humble or arrogant, he’s got a bit of Qi Force! Speaking of which, since my daughter Xiaowei is here, what’s between you and her…”

“Surname Tong, you’re going too far!” Tong Ming grabbed Tang Long’s wrist.

Chen Yu felt a bit frustrated, how come both old men wanted to push their daughters onto him?

At this moment, Tong Ya and Tang Xiaowei were hiding around the corner on the third floor, watching everything that was happening in the lobby on the first floor.

“Xiaowei, it looks like the misunderstanding has been cleared, you should go down!”

Tang Xiaowei pouted, “Fine, but you remember this day; you sold out your best sister just to save yourself.”

Tong Ya grabbed Tang Xiaowei’s arm, soothing her back like she was consoling a child.

“Come on, you know the situation between me and my dad the best! At most, you’re just being forced by Uncle Tang to take over the family business, but me…”

“Alright, no more talk!” Tang Xiaowei interrupted with a righteousness, “Remember your promise.”

“For the next five years, I’ve got your meals covered!” Tong Ya made a swearing gesture.

“No, I want ten years!” Tang Xiaowei said defiantly, staring at Tong Ya.

“The rest of your life if need be,” Tong Ya said in a hurry.

Based on how things were unfolding in the lobby, she was about to be exposed.

Tang Xiaowei turned her head and straightened her clothes.

She had swapped her previous doll-like attire for a rather stylish women’s suit.

“The wind is bleak, the waters of Yi chilled, a warrior departs, never to return!”

Muttering a line of poetry to psych herself up, Tang Xiaowei then headed straight downstairs.

“Uncle Tong.”

She called out with a polite hum and then went directly to Tang Long and Tong Ming.

However, her appearance made Chen Yu pause for a moment.

The previously cute and adorable look had vanished, replaced by the efficiency of a tycoon’s daughter.

With the cane in his hand, Tang Long tapped the ground, “Don’t you see your father standing here? Not even a greeting, no manners at all!”

Tang Xiaowei’s throat moved slightly, and after a long pause, she quietly called out, “Dad!”

But that one word diminished much of the anger on Tang Long’s face.

“Became a painter?”

Tang Xiaowei nodded, “Mhm.”

Tang Long let out a long sigh, “I never completely opposed your hobby in the first place! You can paint, but you also need to take the time to manage some of the family affairs.”

“But you, you just ran off for years on end!”

Though his words sounded incredibly stern, Tang Xiaowei felt a warmth in her heart.
