Chapter 107: The Tang Family’s Attitude

As the chief of a tycoon family, Tang Liunian typically only rubbed shoulders with chiefs of premier grand families. He Wuyi was just the chief of an inferior grand family, so Tang Liunian would not have an impression of him even if they had met before.

Although Tang Liunian did not recognize him, He Wuyi did not dare to show any kind of displeasure as he forced out a smile and said courteously, “Tang chief, I am the chief of the grand He family, He Wuyi.”

“He family chief?” Tang Liunian’s eyes flashed coldly as he cried, “Bring your people and get out of my house! From today on, the Tang family will end all cooperation with the He family. Any family who works with the He family will receive the same treatment from the Tang family!” Tang Liunian turned as his gaze swept around the courtyard.

He did not know if their family had any connections with the He family. But he was sure that there were definitely some of the Tang business partners who also worked with the He family.

With that, the whole courtyard breathed in sharply as some muttered, “The He family is done for!”

“Who is this young man? The three biggest figures in the Tang family are treating him so respectfully.”

“Could he be the representative of the benefactor?”

“Just now, Elder Tang Zhanpeng asked him, but he denied it.”

“Then who could he be? In Yunyang country, there is no Zhou family? Unless he is from the Valley of Medicine Masters?”

…

Everybody in the courtyard knew that the He family was gone for after the Tang family chief’s words. Those who had connections with the He family had already decided to cut all ties with them once they went back.

He Wuyi was stunned, as was He Lin. They had never imagined that the Tang family chief would destroy their He family just to stand up for the young man in front of them! For sure, once Tang Liunian’s word spread, most of their business in the Chu royal city would collapse.

Piak!

He Wuyi slapped his daughter heavily as the loud sound rang through the air.

He Lin was completely shocked. As she opened her mouth and spat out blood, there were pieces of broken teeth mixed within. Clearly, her father had treated her with no mercy.

“Stupid girl, aren’t you going to apologize to Young Master Donghuang?” He Wuyi scolded her furiously. However, on the inside, he was filled with bitterness and helplessness. If he wanted to save their family, he had no choice but to treat his daughter like this.

He Lin was not dumb either and knew why her father, who always doted on her, had done that. Clenching her teeth, she dropped to her knees before Zhou Donghuang and begged, “Young Master Donghuang, I was foolish, please forgive me! Please! Please!!”

But Zhou Donghuang did not even glance at her.

Seeing this, He Lin turned to the young girl beside him and begged, “Sister Zixi, it was all my fault, I should not have been jealous of you, I should not have deserted you then, I was wrong, I know I was wrong! Please help me to ask Young Master Donghuang for mercy, ask him to let my family off! Please! Please!!”

He Lin kowtowed to the young girl desperately. Even as the skin on her forehead bled furiously, she did not stop. She knew that with one word, the young girl could save her whole family.

The young girl had never seen anything like this before. Instantly, her face showed a sign of pity as she looked towards the young man beside her.

“Zixi, some people treat you extremely well when you are in power… but when you are in the troughs, they’ll trample all over you.” Before Zixi could speak, Zhou Donghuang turned to her and said flatly, “Some lessons only need to be learned once.”

Over his millennia of experience, he had seen too many people like He Lin. People like her would not return the gratitude even if Yang Zixi spared her today.

The young girl nodded seriously. “Brother Zhou, I understand.” With that, no matter how desperately He Lin begged her, the young girl did not spare her a glance, because she trusted her Brother Zhou. Since he had put it that way, he must have had his reasons.

“Get out!” Tang Liunian shouted as he glanced at He Lin, then He Wuyi.

He Wuyi had turned pale with fright. He hurriedly dragged He Lin out of the courtyard and fled.

After the two had left, Tang Liunian then looked at the tenth elder, Tang Zhanpeng, and turned to the second elder, Tang Yong, standing beside him. “Second Elder, he is from your side, please take care of him.”
