Chapter 45

Encoutered a Bad Person (5)

Tang Yu and Meng Qingcheng both laughed out loud; what a clever little one.

Meng Qingcheng teased, “What about me? How long has it been since you’ve seen your brother Qingcheng?”

Tang Xin sighed, “Qingcheng, we hate each other. Let’s not discuss that.”

Meng Qingcheng had a look of annoyance. “So that’s what you think of me. I am sad…” He covered his chest with his palm and pretended to look weak. Only then did Tang Xin go and hug him, “Be good!”

Tang Yu shook his head as he stood on the side. He knew exactly how wild Qingcheng acted when he was out. Who would’ve guessed that in front of Tang Xin, he would be such a weak one?

He never stopped him from doing anything but never encouraged it either. Tang Xin was still young and was full of problems with her health, there was no way Qingcheng didn’t mind that.

The three of them arrived at the main hall where Tang Zhiyuan and Zhao Ke were.

In recent years, Tang Zhiyuan had stopped asking about things. Over the years he’s lived at Yanhui with Zhao Ke, Tang Yu rarely visited. Even when he did visit, it was to see Tang Xin.

When he saw Tang Yu, he turned serious, “You’re here?”

“I’ll ask the servants to bring the food.” Zhao Ke patted the back of Tang Zhiyuan’s hand and then smiled at Tang Yu as if to try and get on his good side.

Tang Yu sat down and his expression was bland, “It’s still early. Let’s wait a while longer!”

Zhao Ke froze a little and then quickly recollected herself. She smiled. “It is still a little early. Then let’s eat some fruit first!”

She personally cut up some fruit and brought them over. She plated them well but Tang Yu didn’t touch it. Instead, he stood up expressionlessly, “I will go take a quick shower.”

Tang Zhiyuan didn’t know what to do with him and couldn’t really scold him for treating this second wife of his so coldly. All he could do was speak to Meng Qingcheng, “My son’s all grown up and refuses to come home. Qingcheng, even you visit us more frequently than Tang Yu.”

Tang Yu naturally heard this on his way upstairs. He coldly snickered… that’s because Meng Qingcheng has his eyes set on your young daughter.

He thought of Zhao Ke and his gaze turned even colder. Home? What kind of home is this?

Back in the days, Zhao Ke used the seed in her stomach to successfully force his mother away and gained the spot of being the new wife of the Tang family.

Shengyuan, in the beginning, was also partially owned by his mother – the Lin family. It was due to both his mother Lin Yun, and Tang Zhiyuan’s effort that Shengyuan began operations and became as successful as it is today.

When he was 10 years old, Zhao Ke walked into the Tang family, kneeled before his mother, and asked her to grant her her happiness.

She was pregnant with Tang Zhiyuan’s baby.

Lin Yun stayed by herself all night. Towards Tang Zhiyuan, she only had one request – she could get a divorce, but whether they have a boy or a girl, that kid cannot touch Shengyuan. Plus, when Tang Yu turned 22, Tang Zhiyuan must step back. If he didn’t agree to these conditions, then Zhao Ke’s kid would have to be treated as a bastard baby.

To protect the baby in Zhao Ke’s belly, Tang Zhiyuan agreed without hesitation. This made Lin Yun feel dead inside.

Zhao Ke didn’t know about any of this. When Tang Yu took over Shengyuan, Zhao Ke made a scene for a long time but it was fruitless… to think that all these years, Zhao Ke tried to have a boy; all of this seemed laughable.

Tang Yu’s love for Tang Xin was real, but hating Zhao Ke was also real.

After his shower, he came down to find Meng Qingcheng chatting with Tang Xin and joking around. Because of him, even Zhao Ke was laughing…

The moment Tang Yu came down, Meng Qingcheng shut up. Zhao Ke’s expression froze and then she said with much friendliness, “Let’s eat!”

Tang Zhiyuan stood up. Tang Yu had no interest in annoying his second wife, so he went to the dining room himself.

Wherever Tang Yu and Zhao Ke were, it felt like they were down in an ice hell. Tang Xin would sometimes peek at her mother and then her brother…. She loved her mom and loved her brother, but they were never too friendly with each other.
