The Old Madam Tang's lifelong wish is for the Tang Family to move into the Xianwu Mountain villa district, because living in this area is considered barely touching the threshold of the elite families.
The sound of knocking on the door rang out.
Su Changfeng told Tang Qiulu to go back to the room; if you're going to pretend to be sick, make it convincing.
Opening the door, Tang Xiangdong looked at Su Changfeng with extreme anger.
"Su Changfeng, did you hang up my call?" Tang Xiangdong asked.
"That's right."
Suddenly, Tang Xiangdong raised his fist and punched Su Changfeng in the face.
"You useless fool, who told you to hang up?"
Bang!
Su Changfeng retaliated with a swift kick, hitting Tang Xiangdong in the abdomen.
Tang Xiangdong's fist didn't even touch the hem of Su Changfeng's clothes before he was kicked against the wall.
With intense pain in his lower abdomen, Tang Xiangdong's face contorted in agony as he squatted on the ground, wailing.
"Su Changfeng, how dare you hit Donglin." Tang Zhenbang shouted angrily upon seeing his son being attacked.
Su Changfeng stared coldly at Tang Zhenbang and said, "If you say one more word, I'll kick you too."
Tang Zhenbang was taken aback; the gaze of this scumbag actually made him feel a bit scared.
Isn't this guy supposed to be a coward who gets bullied by everyone? Why is he suddenly so resolute this time?
"Su Changfeng, you damn well dare to lay a hand on me?" Tang Xiangdong said through gritted teeth.
"Don't forget why you're here—coming to ask for help with that attitude? Didn't Grandma tell you what the consequences of losing this cooperation are?" Su Changfeng said.
Su Changfeng's words directly quelled the anger of Tang Zhenbang and Tang Xiangdong; if the cooperation couldn't continue, they'd be thrown out of the Tang Family.
"Su Changfeng, this has nothing to do with you, have Tang Qiulu come out." Tang Zhenbang said.
"Why does it have nothing to do with me? Tang Qiulu is my wife. Qiulu is sick, and right now, I'm making all the decisions at home." Su Changfeng said.
"Wife?"
Upon hearing this, both Tang Zhenbang and Tang Xiangdong laughed simultaneously.
"Su Changfeng, are you even a man? You rely on Tang Qiulu to survive; your words carry no weight here!" Tang Zhenbang said.
"You're saying this, but does Tang Qiulu know? Besides, don't you know that Tang Qiulu has already cuckolded you? Or do you think she signed the contract with Weishui Real Estate for no reason?" Tang Xiangdong looked at Su Changfeng mockingly.
Su Changfeng frowned; he certainly knows how Tang Qiulu secured the contract, and Tang Xiangdong is clearly slandering her maliciously.
He walked up to Tang Xiangdong, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Tang Xiangdong shrank his neck, feeling inexplicable fear, his speech turning stilted: "You... what do you want to do?"
"If you say another bad word about Qiulu, I'll make you wish for death as a luxury!"
Tang Xiangdong swallowed his saliva with difficulty, at this moment, he inexplicably believed Su Changfeng's words.
"What are you two doing?" At this moment, Tang Zhenhua and Sun Mei happened to come back and saw this scene.
"Zhenhua, you really have an incredible son-in-law, actually daring to hit Donglin!"
Seeing Tang Zhenhua return, Tang Zhenbang resumed his arrogant demeanor.
His little brother had always been cowardly since childhood, not daring to make a peep when his candy was snatched before even starting school.
After starting school, snatching textbooks and women was the same, Tang Zhenbang had never lost. Hence, he has an innate sense of superiority in front of Tang Zhenhua.
And Tang Zhenhua, bullied by this brother since childhood, had long since developed a shadow in his heart, beginning to feel fear just by seeing Tang Zhenbang.
"Su Changfeng, did you take the wrong medicine? Dare to..."
Before Tang Zhenhua could finish speaking, Sun Mei directly grabbed him.
Even though Sun Mei deeply dislikes Su Changfeng, Tang Xiangdong snatched Tang Qiulu's cooperation last night, and now, unable to find a place to vent her anger, seeing Tang Xiangdong beaten made her quite delighted.
"Older brother, Donglin getting hit now is deserved. Who knows how much harm he's done; isn't this just karma coming back?" Sun Mei said.
"You..." Tang Zhenbang was very angry, his trembling finger pointing at Sun Mei.
"Why me? What are you pointing at me for? Why did you come here? Our family doesn't welcome you at all!" Sun Mei, being a complete shrew, was more than a match for Tang Zhenbang.
"Yes, elder brother, why did you come here? You never came before." Tang Zhenhua was also puzzled; members of the Tang family had never visited their place; perhaps this time they really did take the wrong medicine?
Tang Zhenbang and Tang Xiangdong hung their heads, unable to speak out of shame.
Su Changfeng said: "People from Weishui Real Estate don't want to work with new managers, so they came to ask Qiulu to show up; I guess Grandma is angry!"
Hearing this, Sun Mei smiled happily.
"Brother, just can't expect you guys to come over and beg us. Really just fulfills that saying, sooner or later you'll have to pay back what you've done!" Sun Mei said.
Tang Zhenbang's future was now entirely in Tang Qiulu's hands; he felt very unwilling, but dared not retort to Sun Mei.
"Zhenhua, this matter is indeed my and Donglin's fault, I sincerely apologize to you both." Tang Zhenbang said.
Tang Zhenhua, having always seen Tang Zhenbang as extremely formidable since childhood, had never seen him apologize to anyone, making him quite confused at this moment.
Tang Xiangdong, lowering his head, felt utterly humiliated, but there was no other choice now.
"Brother, I suppose Mom is angry? The punishment must not be trivial, otherwise you two wouldn't have come to apologize to me." Tang Zhenhua said.
"This time you must help me, or Grandma will expel me from the Tang Family." Tang Zhenbang decided to spill everything.
Anyway, he was already shameless, but if he could stay in the Tang Family, he might recover his dignity; if kicked out, he'd be left with nothing.
Su Changfeng was a bit surprised to hear this; though he thought Grandma would pressure Tang Zhenbang, expelling him from the Tang Family...
This was beyond his imagination.
"No way, why should we help you? You two have been giving our family trouble all along." Sun Mei directly refused.
"Sister-in-law, this doesn't benefit you either. You and Qiulu can continue working with Weishui Real Estate; that's definitely good. But if I'm expelled from the Tang Family, it means the cooperation hasn't succeeded, and you'll end up with nothing." Tang Zhenbang said.
