Chapter 168: Destined to be high-profile

Tang Lin's words were like a heavy bomb. As soon as he said them, they immediately shocked everyone on the ship. (New Piao Astronomy) Come to the website if you want to have fun and watch

He was the first-born heir of the legendary Tang family! In royal families, this would be the position of crown prince, so it was no surprise.

Everyone on the ship was eligible to go to Quan'an Island and had attended the last family meeting, where they had heard the story of the first-in-line successor. But wasn't that successor said to have been lost in the country, and had the family sent someone to look for him to no avail? How could he suddenly appear on the ship to Quan'an? Could it be that, like her father, she came specifically to inherit the family business after receiving the news?

Although everyone understands that the crown prince may not ultimately succeed to the throne, and that the first in line may not ultimately inherit, otherwise Tang Yi and Tang Lin and the others wouldn't have to fight for succession. However, the sudden appearance of this first-in-line heir will undoubtedly make the situation even more complicated.

Most of the people on the ship are not the top heirs either. They all know that they have no hope of inheriting, but it is also very interesting to have the opportunity to watch the first few heirs brawl with each other.

Tang Yi was of course stunned by Tang Lin's words, and he looked in the direction Tang Lin was pointing.

Tang Yi saw Tang Ran suddenly smile again: 'You're telling me that's our legendary first-in-line heir? I say, man, just because the first-in-line heir doesn't exist, you can't just not care! Can you just pick someone off the street and say they're the first-in-line successor to the Tang family? Our first-in-line successor is a bit too cheap...'

At the end, Tang Yi deliberately added to Tang Lin, 'Even cheaper than you, the fifth.'

Tang Lin just shook his head and laughed at this last taunt from Tang Yi: 'You really are a pig-headed person. Don't tell me that you've already forgotten what Uncle Tang looked like, less than half a month after he passed away. Isn't he the same as her?'

Tang Yi opened his mouth to say something, but Tang Lin asked him before he could: 'Are you trying to say that it's not surprising to find similar people in the world, and that maybe tomorrow you can also pull a girl from the street who looks a lot like Uncle Tang? Then I hope you're prepared, because I have an even bigger surprise for you.'

Tang Lin said as he pulled a document out of thin air and continued, 'This is a DNA paternity report on Ms. Tang Ran and our Uncle Tang, from the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center. You may be unfamiliar with cousin Tang Yi, Then I can explain to you that this DNA identification report combines genetics and biology and is currently the world's most authoritative method of parentage identification. It is also from the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center, so it can almost certainly be said that there will be no errors.'

'So you want to know the result?' Tang Lin deliberately asked Tang Yi this question, which made him feel a bit annoyed.

'Just say it, cut the crap!' Tang Yi impatiently said.

Tang Lin smiled slightly and said, 'I'm more than happy to tell you that according to the results of the appraisal by the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center, she is Uncle Tang's biological daughter, and is also the first-in-line heir to our Tang family. How about it? Do you want to get to know her?'

Facing Tang Lin's words, Tang Yi suddenly exploded. He grabbed the identification report from Tang Lin's hand, tore it up and threw it on the ground, and said to Tang Lin, 'I'll tell you Don't play these little tricks on me. This nonsense about an uncle who lost a daughter in the country and the first-in-line heir is all bullshit!'

'Tang Lin, do you really take everyone for an idiot? Do you think you can just find a whore from somewhere and claim that she is the first in line to inherit? Then I'll go rent a prostitute tomorrow and claim that she is your mother too?' Tang Yi rudely

yelled.

Zhou Ming frowned at Tang Yi's abuse, but after glancing at Tang Lin, he thought for a moment before speaking without haste.

Tang Lin, on the other hand, was also furious at Tang Yi's insults, and all he heard him say was, 'You're really a dog, a real bastard!'

After the scolding, Tang Lin heaved a sigh, shook his head helplessly, and said, 'I'm sorry, I thought you could say something. I want to tell you that the appraisal report is just a copy, no matter how many times you tear it up, it won't change anything, including the fact that she is the first heir. Okay, let's get to know the first heir of our Down syndrome family.'

At this point, Tang Lin blinked and added, 'Or would you like to demonstrate how everyone can treat you in the future?'

Tang Lin waved his hand at Tang Ran, and everyone on the boat looked at Tang Ran together.

Tang Ran had never seen such a scene before, and was immediately scared, hiding behind Zhou Ming: 'What does Ming mean by this? Why are everyone looking at me? I don't want to be the first-in-line successor.'

Zhou Ming smiled and held Tang Ran's small hand to reassure her, then turned to Tang Lin, who was a little embarrassed not far away, and said, 'Since it has been confirmed that she is the first-in-line heir, then according to the rules you just set, shouldn't you take the initiative to come and say hello? Especially that third comrade.'

Upon hearing Zhou Ming's last remark, Tang Lin also laughed. He also said to Tang Yi, 'Yes, my cousin Tang Yi, if you follow your logic, wouldn't it be a bit unreasonable for you, the third-in-line successor, to see the first-in-line successor and not go over to say hello? Or do you think that in the future, everyone else in the family can just ignore your position and not do the same thing?'

Tang Yi clenched his fists, his heart burning with rage. He hated the idea of killing Tang Lin and the bastard who had appeared out of nowhere, but he couldn't do that now.

After a long struggle, Tang Yi could only let go of his fists. He walked step by step towards Tang Ran, and said, 'Hello, cousin Tang Ran, I'm very glad that you came to San Francisco. On behalf of everyone in the Tang family, I welcome you. My sincerest greetings to you.'

Tang Yi said this with gritted teeth, so his expression was also a bit menacing, which made Tang Ran feel a bit disgusted and scared.

'This...comrade, are you sure you really are from the Tang family? Why do I feel that you are more like a butcher?' Tang Ran said timidly in the face of Tang Yi's ferocious greeting.

In short, the whole ship burst into laughter, even Tang Lin laughed. Obviously, Comrade Tang Yi's usual arrogant temper was not pleasing, and now that they saw him eat, everyone was naturally very happy, except that this happiness was built on Tang Yi's suffering.

As the centre of everyone's ridicule, Tang Yi was so angry that his lungs were about to burst. You have to know that in the past, as the third-in-line successor of the family, he had always been very arrogant. Even the second-in-line successor, in order to impress the elders, would not argue with him. Now, he had never expected to be insulted like this by her. He really felt like slapping Tang Ran's pretty face, even though she was looking at him innocently.

But what made Tang Yi even madder was that he couldn't do that, because that would be like breaking the privileges he had created for himself. How could he be arrogant in the future?

But if he does nothing, he can't swallow his anger no matter what.

This dilemma makes Tang Yi feel like vomiting blood, but in the end, he clenches his fists and holds back, just gritting his teeth and leaving Tang Ran with the words 'You're really outstanding,' before leaving with a dark face.

As Tang Yi left, there was an even louder burst of

cheering on deck, as if they had heard of the victory in World War II. Even Tang Lin gave her an incredulous thumbs-up.

However, only Zhou Ming would sigh in his heart for Tang Yi, because everyone, including Tang Yi, would think that Tang Ran did that on purpose to slap Tang Yi in the face. But Zhou Ming knew that Tang Ran didn't do it on purpose. She just spoke her mind and doesn't beat around the bush. Of course, her simple remarks can sometimes be embarrassing, but what can you do? Who could blame her for being such a naturally clumsy and cute girl?

For Tang Ran, what happened to Tang Yi was both unexpected and expected. It was expected because on the boat to Quan'an, only the core members of the Tang family dinner would definitely be there, and it was easy to run into other top-ranked heirs; what was unexpected was that Tang Yi would have such a arrogant temper.

But this incident made Tang Ran an instant star on the entire ship. People kept coming up to her to say hello and greet her, praising her beauty and telling her not to be sad about her father's passing.

It is understandable that these people want to make a good impression on her. After all, she is now the first successor in the family. No matter how high the probability of a successful inheritance is, it is always a good idea to make a good impression. This is what is meant by investing more. What if she succeeds? It is always better to cultivate a good relationship now than to make a last-minute effort.

However, although their intentions were good, what they did made Zhou Ming feel that it was unnecessary. The reason was simple: Tang Ran's father had left and she was raised entirely by her adoptive parents. She had always thought she was born naturally and had never known anything about the Down's syndrome family or her biological father. She had no concept of any of this, let alone any good or bad impressions.

After more than two hours of sailing, a not-so-big island appeared in Zhou Ming's field of vision, but due to the surrounding fog, it was not clearly visible.

'This is the San Francisco Bay. Due to the special climate here, the fog is already very heavy, but the fog here is even heavier and exists almost year-round. which is why the family built the ancestral hall here when they first discovered the island. Quan'an is not a large island, less than two square kilometres, and the Tang ancestral hall is all that is on it, surrounded by the fortifications,' Tang Lin explained to Zhou Ming and Tang Ran.

After another half hour, the Zhiyuan only docked at the port of Quan'an. Zhou Ming and Tang Ran followed Tang Lin off the ship, and looking up, they could see the only building on the island, the Tang Clan Fort.

It is a bastion with irregular concave and convex surfaces. According to Tang Lin's introduction, the fort was built to protect the Tang ancestral hall. It was originally square in shape, but later, due to the unbearable attacks of pirates attacks, and even once broke through the outer fort, so the Tang family rebuilt the outer fort according to the Western-style bastion, and after more than half a century of processing, it became what it is now.

Although there have been no pirates in the San Francisco Bay in modern times, the Tang Clan ancestral hall's fort has been preserved and is repaired regularly every year to ensure its stability.

'It seems that the Tang family understands the meaning of the words 'be prepared for danger in times of peace'!' Zhou Ming commented with a smile.

Zhou Ming and Tang Ran followed Tang Lin to the main entrance of the fortress. At the entrance, a man in a tuxedo and looking very gentlemanly smiled and said, 'A very warm welcome back to Quan'an. We are all part of the Tang family, so I hope that no matter what prejudices you may have had outside, here we are all one big family.'

Almost as soon as he had finished speaking, Tang Yi's arrogant voice shouted, 'Hey kid, when did it ever become your turn to speak here? I'll tell you, the first-in-line successor of our Tang family is here!'

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ming immediately frowned: it seems that he and Tang Ran were destined to never be able to keep a low profile!
