Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

241-245

Chapter 241: Cecily

Tang Qinghong was extremely nervous when he rushed over. He was afraid that something terrible might have befallen Xiao Yun. If that was to happen, he'd definitely be crushed by Gu Xiqiao fists, in addition to facing his brother's wrath.

He definitely was not anticipating such a gory scene to play out before him.

At this moment, the ones who should be crying are probably the elders of the Tang family.

Tang Qinghong shed a tear of sympathy for the men sent by the elders. How unfortunate of them, to bump into Gu Xiqiao. Tang Qinghong peered down at his phone and realized that there was an astronomical number of missed calls from his brother. He glanced up at Yin Shaoyuan and said, "You escort Xiao Yun back."

"Where are you going?" questioned Yin Shaoyuan with suspicion in his voice.

"I'm gonna go find my brother." Tang Qinghong couldn't be bothered with idle chit-chat. Without hesitation, he kicked Yin Shaoyuan out of his vehicle.

Yin Shaoyuan hopped out of the car immediately, barely missing that kick. His face darkened instantly. How dare this guy try to kick him! "Second Cousin, are you trying pick a fight with me?" Yin Shaoyuan cracked his knuckles, a gesture to show that he was eager to fight.

Tang Qinghong narrowed his eyes and flashed him a dangerous look. "Say that again?"

"Second Cousin! Second Cousin! Second Cousin!" Yin Shaoyuan hurriedly repeated these words before making a final dash for Xiao Yun's vehicle. The moment he slid into her car, he urged her to stomp on the pedal.

"..."

Tang Qinghong went silent. Yin Shaoyuan has been back for so long and yet this was the first time he felt the urge to punch him. He was under restraints back in the ancient martial arts world but it had only been a few days since he came out here. How on earth did he manage to turn into this so quickly?

Whilst contemplating, he drove over to the residential district next to A University. He recalled Tang Qingqiu buying a house here.

Tang Qingqiu was still wide awake when he arrived. He was sitting at the bar with a glass of fine alcohol on hand. Why did he have a fully-loaded bar in his temporary residence? God damn was he enjoying himself here! With a face devoid of emotions, Tang Qinghong located a bottle of red wine which he poured a glassful for himself.

"Good choice." Tang Qingqiu eyed the wine bottle Tang Qinghong had picked. He was amused, as his brother had picked the most expensive bottle of wine he had in his collection. "You drink?"

Tang Qinghong gulped down his glassful of wine in one go, the sight of which made the corner of Tang Qingqiu's mouth twitch awkwardly.

"You aren't going to ask me if everything's alright with Xiao Yun?" By now, Tang Qinghong had already downed half a bottle of wine. He turned toward Tang Qingqiu, who had called and texted him incessantly to ask about Xiao Yun. Why then, was he shrugging this matter off as if it was nothing?

"I don't have anything much to ask about. She's been with Miss Gu for so long after all. Even I have no idea which level she has reached now." Tang Qingqiu waved his hands casually as he was just slightly concerned earlier. With Gu Xiqiao by her side, he said a silent prayer for the poor souls who dared to mess with them.

Tang Qinghong chuckled. "You seem to know her quite well."

His brother did not respond immediately to this statement. Instead, he switched over to another topic. "Have you stopped going to the Trial Tower?"
