Chapter 371: The Yao Family's Reaction

Beijing, at the Tang Family's residence.

Normally, it was difficult for the core members of the Tang Family to get together outside holidays. However, today, except for those who were outside of town and couldn't catch up, the rest had gathered here. Even Tang Xiu's parents who had yet to return to Star City also came here.

"Have you heard the news? Our family has just bullied the Yao and Sun Families in Guangyang. They just suffered enormous losses in merely one night."

"Yup. I got the news as well. Tang Xiu is indeed worthy as the offspring of our Tang Family. His methods were truly sound. Even last night, I heard father laughing for a long time."

"Yunde, Lingyun, you two really have a good son! If it were not for him, I'm afraid that our family's business in Guangyang would have been completely driven out."

"..."

Tang Yunde's smile was extraordinarily bright upon listening to the relatives who were amiably talking to him. On the contrary, Su Lingyun's smile was rather forced, yet, she still forced herself to smile at everyone after taking Tang Yunde's face into account.

"Little Yun, are you not happy?"

After discovering his wife's expression, Tang Yunde pulled her to a corner and whispered.

"It's not like that. I'm just a bit worried." Su Lingyun shook her head and said, "With so many relatives involved in the family's important matter, I just can't understand why did Xiu'er run to Guangyang to take charge of the overall situation. Though I don't know anything about disputes between big families, but I heard it's very gruesome. With so many people from the Yao and Sun families dead, I'm afraid Xiu'er would suffer an unexpected mishap. I..."

"Don't worry! Xiu'er has done very well in Guangyang." Tang Yunde gently hugged Su Lingyun and whispered, "It shows that he has grown up. Besides, there are things that he must go through sooner or later; he just encountered it ahead of time. Don't you see that he's well and good now? He called father just last night! I can't say for sure, but last night, he led some people to scare off the Yao family."

"Will the Yaos really be frightened?" Su Lingyun hesitated, "If they did, would the dispute between both parties be over?"

"It can be said that they wouldn't for now. But I think it should be about the same." Tang Yunde said with a smile, "The Yaos have no intention of losing all decorum with our family for now. The matters in Guangyang and Fukang are just they testing the waters to probe the cards in our hands."

"Yunde, tell me. Should we go to Guangyang to support Xiu'er?" Su Lingyun was a bit relieved as she nodded and said, "I'm afraid..."

"Don't be afraid. He's smart and brave." Tang Yunde shook his head and said, "If he really can't shoulder it, he will never force himself to do it in spite of adversity. Do you not see that everyone in the family looks happy? That shows that we have snatched a victory. Anyhow, I'll ask father later to let Xiu'er go back to Shanghai right away after the matter has been concluded."

"Yes, you must ask him." Su Lingyun hurriedly nodded and said, "Xiu'er is a college student. Shanghai University is a good university, so he mustn't delay his schooling."

"Don't worry!" Tang Yunde comforted.

Inside the ancestral residence, the two brothers—Tang Guosheng and Tang Guoshou were sitting face to face separated by a tea table. At this time, a slight smile was hunging on their old faces.

"Amazing, awesome!" Tang Guoshou exclaimed.

"Back when I agreed for him to take in charge in Guangyang, I actually didn't have much hope." Tang Guosheng nodded and said, "Even though the plan had already been completed and we expected to lose Guangyang, then so be it! Consider it tempering him. I didn't expect that he would give me such a pleasant surprise. Unexpected..."
