Chapter 262: The Tang Family Members
Tang Guosheng watched Tang Xiu calmly as a light of wisdom flashed in his eyes. He had experienced countless hardships in life, and he was good at identifying peopleâs characters. Thus, he was able to distinguish Tang Xiuâs disposition to some extent after a brief contact.
Hence, he didnât feel angry about Tang Xiuâs remark. Certainly, had it been others daring to speak to him with this attitude, he would have flown into a rage already. But toward Tang Xiu, he owned him far too much.
âTang Xiu, if you can treat your father, he would be free wherever he goes. If you canât treat him and insist to take him back to Star City, I would also agree with that. But I have a condition. The medical facilities in Star City are incomparable to the facilities in Beijing. Thus, if you want to take him over I need to send specialists and professional medical staffs along with him.
âAs for your remark just now, I know very well about the resentment inside your heart. It was indeed my failure in not finding the both of youâmother and son that year, causing the both of you to endure hardships and suffering all these years. But, youâre surnamed Tang, the bloodline of the Tangs, and the Tang Family is also your family.â
Tang Xiu snorted coldly and spoke no more.
Tang Min looked at Tang Xiuâs eyes before her vision landed on Su Lingyun. She then said with a smile, âSecond Sister-in-law, I think you should go to Beijing with us. I believe that Second Big Brother has told you about the situation in our family. Even though the Tangs are a wealthy and powerful family, yet the elders have never intervened much in their childrenâs marriages, they wonât look down at you. And father, he personally rushed to Star City and stayed here for some days in the past. Even since Second Big Brother has been in a coma, for several years, Eldest Brother took some time to come to Star City to find you.â
Having said that, Tang Min walked toward Su Lingyun. She then grabbed Su Lingyunâs hands as the smile on her face disappeared, replaced with some bitterness, âSecond Sister-in-law, do you know the most disturbing thought Mother has always been carrying with her all these years? Itâs about the missing grandson she has outside. Oftentimes, when people mention about the Second Big Brother, she would fall into tears, being distressed by her beloved son, yet she also misses her own grandson.â
Su Lingyunâs heart was shivering, a warm feeling gushing inside. Her resentment toward the Tangs reduced a lot. All these years, she had always been thinking and wanting to seek for her husband, yet it was out of her imagination that the Tangs also felt the same for them.
Tang Min spoke again, âSecond Sister-in-law, please come with us to Beijing now! Our family is there. If you donât want to live in the old grand residence of my parents, I will buy you a villa. And if my nephew wants to study, he can study at Beijing University, I will fully support your every need.â
Su Lingyun opened her mouth as her sight fell on Tang Xiu with the intention of asking for assistance.
Tang Xiu said indifferently, âIâm sorry, weâre not accustomed to life in Beijing. Also, we donât need even a dime from the Tangs. My wealth might be incomparable to the Tangs, but itâs enough for me and my Mom to have a rich life.â
Su Lingyun then added, âYes! We have a good life here. Xiuâer has grown up now and he also has some abilities, whereas my restaurant business is also very good. So we really have no intention to live in the capital.â
Tang Guosheng said with a heavy tone, âLittle Yun, Tang Xiu, no matter where you want to live, Iâll approve. But you can freely speak to me your needs, as long as it is within my abilities to provide. Even if it would heavily damage the welfare of my Tang Family, Iâll do it. You can bear in mind that the Tang Family owes youâmother and child, and we shall compensate you from now on.â
Tang Xiu was startled inwardly. An inconceivable expression flashed in his eyes. He didnât expect that Tang Guosheng would make such a big commitment. At this moment, his sealed heart slightly cracked a bit, yet for now, he couldnât make himself feel close and intimate with the Tangs.
âBring the stuff inside.â
Tang Min shouted toward the entrance of the courtyard before turning around and speaking to Su Lingyun with a smile on her face, âSecond Sister-in-law, Father heard that your mother is injured, and he has specially arranged some people to buy some nutrition and supplements. Also, since itâs our first meeting, we couldnât be careless about the etiquettes, could we? As for those people who wounded her relatives, apart from the County Hospitalâs Vice President who disappeared, they will immediately be punished.â
Immediately, the four bodyguards in front of the courtyard quickly carried over a dozen boxes.
Su Lingyun was quite at a loss and didnât know how to respond.
Tang Xiu then spoke faintly, âMom, since they have shown good intention, weâll accept them. Also, weâre donât hit people smiling at us. They are not looking for trouble, so we shanât ignore them. Please let them enter the house!â
Su Lingyun sobered up and quickly said, âAh, youâre too kind, please come inside. My mother is there.â
A while after, Tang Guosheng and Tang Xiu met Zhang Shi. After Zhang Shi learned their identities, she threw curses at them at first, but after she understood the whole story, only then did she show a bit of happiness. She felt happy for her daughter as well as excited knowing that her son-in-law was still alive.
âXiuâer, grandma knows that your medical expertise is very good, so you have to cure your father. His disappearance for so many years was caused by special reasons, so you canât blame him any longer. Go to the capital and heal him! Grandma wants to see my son-in-law while Iâm still alive.â As Zhang Shi learned about the situation, she called Tang Xiu and advised him.
âIâll try my best, grandma!â Tang Xiu nodded.
Ten minutes later, Su Lingyun was done with the packing and left the houseâs courtyard.
âYou drive the car and lead the way. Mom will sit in my car.â Tang Xiu put their suitcases into the trunk as he spoke to Tang Guosheng and the others.
Tang Min quickly said, âIâll also take your car so I can chat with Second Sister-in-law on the road.â
A trace of a smile showed on Su Lingyunâs face, âAlright!â
Tang Xiu didnât prevent her. All in all, for whatever Su Lingyun decided, he wouldnât object to it. After getting in the car, he saw Tang Min affectionately holding his motherâs arm as they chatted in the back seat. He then started the car and followed the two black Audis as they quickly left the Su Village. Although he just got his driver license, he followed the two cars at high speed and drove northward.
Beijing, Famous Garden Villa Complex.
At this time, the third elder of the Tangs, Tang Guoshou, was reading the information in his hand. In front of him, two middle-aged men in military uniforms were standing straight, with one and two starsâ ranking on their shoulders.
The door was thrust open forcefully as Tang Guoshouâs son, Tang Yunqingm strode inside the room in a rush. Panting and short on breath, he shouted, âFather, itâs a big event!â
Tang Guoshouâs brows knitted as he snorted coldly, âEven if the sky is falling down, you still must be reverent and steady as Mt. Tai. Look at yourself now, whatâs got into you to act improperly like this?â
Tang Yunqing replied urgently, âNo, father. Itâs really a very important matter. Uncle and the others are coming back to the capital in a hurry. I just received the call from the eldest brother saying that we must rush to the ancestral residence within four hours.â
Tang Guoshou was startled, âWe need to rush to the ancestral residence? Did Yunpeng tell you what happened?â
Tang Yunqing said, âThe Second Big Brotherâs son has been found, and now theyâre returning with the mother and son to Beijing. Also, most importantly, this time uncle went secretly to Star City to seek for the Divine Doctor surnamed Tang, and the said doctor turned out to be the Second Big Brotherâs son, Tang Xiu.â
Tang Guoshouâs expression changed, a light bursting out from his eyes. He didnât expect that his direct nephew would be found. The person that the old madam of the family had been missing the most all these years, the one and only grandson who lived outside the family whom they never knew if he was still alive or died.
âGreat! Yunqing, quickly informs the others and tell them to hurry to the ancestral residence in four hours. I really didnât expect that the missing grandson turned out to be a Divine Doctor! If⊠if he can cure Yundeâs sicknessâŠâ
As Tang Guoshou thought up to there, the excitement on his face grew more intense.
Tang Yunqing quickly said, âFather, Iâll immediately go inform everyone.â
Beijing, Royal Dragon Club.
Tang Wei was holding a crystal bottle as he savored red wine. Around him, two young men hugged an attractive girl each as they drank and had fun joyfully. The two young men, one was called Zong Lu and the other Zhang Hongnian. Both of them were scions from giant families in the capital as well as Tang Weiâs best buddies since childhood.
The deluxe boxâs door was kicked open from the outside as a lovely girl in a dress strode inside. As she saw the people sitting on the sofa, particularly the two attractive girls accompanying Tang Wei, her expression changed immediately. She sprinted toward Tang Wei and, under everyoneâs surprised gaze, she grabbed Tang Weiâs arm and quickly spoke, âBig Brother, quickly come. Grandpa has decreed that all family members must return to the ancestral residence. We just had a major event.â
Tang Wei was at a loss as it was both funny and embarrassing. He rolled his eyes as he replied, âTang Tang, the sky has yet to collapse; itâs still atop of our head. What are you anxious for? Besides, hasnât grandpa just gone outside of the city? What kind of matter would happen anyway? Ah right, how did you know I was in this place?â
Tang Tang quickly pulled him out the box. After that, she quickly spoke, âThat doesnât matter. Come with me now, the Second Uncleâs son has been found, and now heâs on the road back to the capital along with Grandpa. Hurry up, will you! If we arrive late and Grandpa arrives and find that weâre not in the ancestral residence, he will be angry with us!â
Tang Wei fell into a daze as his expression suddenly changed.
He broke from Tang Tangâs hold and went back into the box. He looked at Zong Lu and Zhang Hongnian as he said, âYou shouldâve heard it, yes? Thereâs an urgent matter, so I gotta get back home. You just continue playing here, Iâll look for you after I got time.â
Zong Lu and Zhang Hongnian looked at each other and nodded. They knew Tang Weiâs Second Uncle who had been in a vegetative state due to an accident twenty years ago. But they didnât expect that he had a son outside.
âBig Brother Tang, off you go, quickly!â
Beijing, in a PLA military unit.
Inside an olive-green barracks, the commander of the Special Forces Unit, Tang Ning, was supervising the drill in the shooting range. At this moment, a young man in military uniform ran toward him and handed a mobile phone, saying, âCommander, itâs a call for you.â
Tang Ning took the mobile over expressionlessly. He then spoke with a deep tone, âTang Ning speaking.â
âReturn to the familyâs ancestral residence at once.â
Tang Yunqingâs voice transmitted through the phone.
Tang Ning frowned, âFourth Uncle, Iâm still training my team members, what matter could it be that you canât say it on the phone?â
âYour Second Uncleâs son has been found and Old Father is bringing him home from Star City now.â
"What? Iâll go back immediately!"
