Chapter 481: Straddle Two Boats?

“I’m sorry, my grandfather only gave birth to my father, so I didn’t know I have ‘uncles’.” Tang Xi cast a disdainful glance at these people. “Have you come over here so early in the morning to claim kinship?”

Tang Jieren had known how sharp-tongued Tang Xi was, so he didn’t talk with Tang Xi but turned to Tang Zhenhua, saying coldly, “Uncle, this company belongs to the Tang Family. Tang Xi will be married sooner or later and then she is no longer a member of our family. You can’t just give the Empire Group to an outsider. If Tang Xi inherits the Empire Group, it will fall into an outsider’s hand!”

“Yes, Uncle, only in our hands can the Empire Group develop well. It should belong to our family and must not be taken away by an outsider!” Tang Yaoren said and stared at Tang Xi.

Tang Xi looked at these greedy people and gave a sneer. She turned up the corners of her mouth. “Hey, who do you think you are? Do you think you can snatch my family’s property by saying these stupid words? Haha… do you think I’m dead?”

Tang Zhenhua, who had been indifferent, suddenly scowled when he heard Tang Xi said ‘dead’. He stared at those people and coldly said, “I’ve already cured my coronary heart disease and have been recuperating for the last two years. By the way, don’t come to the Empire Garden again. You’re not welcome here. If you have any problems, talk to me when I go to the company. As for the Empire Group… it was founded for Xixi. As long as Xixi is happy, I don’t care who will take over the Empire Group.”

“Uncle, how can you say this to us? The Empire group is the Tang Family’s property and the Tang’s Group contribute a lot to its development…” Tang Mingren frowned and looked at Tang Zhenhua sullenly, “How can you be so unfair?!”

“Xixi is my granddaughter. Of course she will inherit all my properties.” Tang Zhenhua paused, stared at them and said coldly, “As for you, if you think I’m unfair, I can spin off the Tang’s group and sell the part of its shares that I hold. You’ll be in charge of the Tang’s Group and the Tang’s Group will have nothing to do with the Empire Group. What do you think?”

These people were stunned at Tang Zhenhua’s words. How could the Tang’s Group be compared with the Empire Group! The Tang’s Group could still exist just because Tang Zhenhua held a lot of its shares. If Tang Zhenhua sold his shares, that Tang’s Group would be swallowed by competitors soon! They certainly wouldn’t accept this proposal!

In any case, although they only held a small percentage of shares of the Empire Group, they could live a wealthy life with these shares. And when the old bastard died, this little girl would be no match for them! Since they could kill her once, they could kill her a second time. When both of them died, the Empire Group would be theirs!

These people were calculating in their heart but they said hypocritically, “Uncle, we don’t think it’s proper. We are one family and we shouldn’t be separated from each other.”

“You should feel lucky that I’m not as grumpy as before.” Tang Zhenhua looked at them and said, “I’d have had you thrown out if you’d said those words to me before.”

Hearing Tang Zhenhua’s words, Tang Yaoren frowned and it had been quite a while before he said, “Uncle, don’t get us wrong. We’re one family and we should love and help each other. My father is idle recently. Why don’t you go travel with him? As you said, you can just give the company to Xixi. You’re in poor health, so you should go out for some fresh air, which is good for your health.”

“As you said, I’m in poor health. If anything happens to me, I’m afraid your father will be accused of killing his brother, so I’d better not go.” Tang Zhenhua gave them a cold glance. “We’re going to have breakfast. Aren’t you leaving yet?”

Tang Mingren, “…”

Tang Yaoren, “…”

Tang Jieren, “…”

For politeness, shouldn’t he invite them to have breakfast with them?

They didn’t know that since last night Tang Zhenhua learned what they did to Tang Xi, he had regarded them as enemies. He had tried his best to keep calm and not to rush up to tear them up. He was so stimulated by them that his illness was almost about to recur again! How could they expect him to invite them for breakfast?

Well, they simply thought too much.

The Tang brothers left in disgrace. Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang who came over and said, “I’ve found the source of the news. It was released by the Qin’s Group.”

When Tang Xi heard this, a cold light flashed across her eyes, and she narrowed her eyes. “These people are really silly… Qin Xinying, does she think she can take me down by doing this?”

“Xixi, I’m sorry. I brought this trouble on you.” Tang Zhenhua felt guilty and patted Tang Xi’s hand. Tang Xi smiled and helped him to the dining room, saying, “What are you talking about, Grandpa? You are in good health now. Besides, you will never bring me any trouble!”

Tang Zhong prepared them with two kinds of food. One was specially made for Tang Zhenhua and the other was an ordinary breakfast spread. Looking at the green food in front of him, Tang Zhenhua pursed his lips and sat down to have breakfast without saying anything.

Seeing Tang Zhenhua having breakfast so obediently, Tang Zhong was very surprised. Master always complained for a while before eating. Why was he so obedient this morning?

Was it because… Tang Zhong looked at Tang Xi and cracked a smile.

“Don’t worry, grandpa, I’ll cure you.” Tang Xi suddenly put down her chopsticks and looked at Tang Zhenhua. “I will never let anyone use you to attack me, nor will I be defeated by them.”

“Good.” Tang Zhenhua smiled and nodded, but he thought Tang Xi was just comforting him. Coronary heart disease had the highest mortality rate. It was lucky for him to live for so many years.

However…

Tang Zhenhua looked at Tang Xi, “Have some food more. You’ll have a busy day. now the journalists must be waiting for you at the gate of the company. Today you’ll have a tough battle to fight.”

Tang Xi smiled carelessly, “It’s not a big deal. Grandpa, don’t worry. I will deal with it.” And a cold gleam came into her eyes. She took a mouthful of porridge and sneered. “They think I’m easy to beat? They are wrong! I haven’t started to do anything to them, but they can’t wait anymore.”

After dinner, Tang Xi and Qiao Liang went to the company, and Tang Zhenhua and Tang Zhong sent them out.

Tang Zhong looked at their backs and frowned in worry. There was something in his heart, but he didn’t know whether to say it or not…

Tang Zhenhua looked at him and raised his eyebrows, “What’s up?”

Tang Zhong took a look at their receding figures, turned to Tang Zhenhua and said hesitantly, “Master, don’t you see that this bodyguard Miss brought back this time is not the one who appeared in the news last time? Besides, she seemed to stay with this bodyguard in the guest room last night… .” Thinking of the possibility that Tang Xi might straddle two boats, Tang Zhong said in worry, “Are you sure it’s okay for her to behave like this?”

If the public knew this scandal about Miss, it would not be good for her reputation!
