Chapter 169: Dressing up Tang Yu

No one had a good impression of Tang Yi's arrogant tone, including the young man in the tuxedo standing at the door to greet him, but what made him even more concerned was the first-in-line heir Tang Yi had mentioned. Dingtian Novel,

he was first stunned, then laughed and said, 'Cousin Tang Yi really knows how to joke. Although at the last family meeting, Uncle mentioned the possibility of the existence of a first-in-line successor, that was ultimately just an impractical guess, wasn't it?'

Tang Yi, however, stared and said, 'Who told you that it was just an impractical guess? Then I will tell you clearly now, and you listen carefully: the family's first-in-line successor does exist, and she has also come to Quan'an with the Zhiyuan Hao. She is there right now, so open your eyes wide and take a good look!'

Tang Yi said, pointing behind him at Tang Ran, 'You see, that's our first-in-line heir. You know my uncle Tang, so I don't think that face is unfamiliar to you, is it?'

At this point, Tang Yi thought for a moment and said, 'Or do you think she's some bitch I picked up from a bar? Let me tell you, even if she was, she is also the first-in-line heir. My cousin Tang Lin has already personally verified her DNA, and the result is indeed Uncle Tang's biological daughter. It is said that that is now the most accurate way of verification in the world. Anyway, I don't know. You decide. Haha!'

After saying this, Tang Yi laughed and walked into the fort. Obviously, he had deliberately singled out Tang Ran's identity and then dumped the matter on Tang Lin, leaving him to deal with it.

Facing the young man in the tuxedo's puzzled expression, Tang Lin walked up and said, 'Yes, this Ms. Tang Ran is the biological daughter of the late Uncle Tang. University of California, San Francisco Medical Center, so according to the elders' wishes, I brought her here today to attend the family dinner. So he can go in, right? Or do you need to see the identification report?'

The young man in the tuxedo shook his head and said with a smile, 'Of course not. With my cousin's certificate, how dare I question it? Besides, I'm only here today to greet everyone. I dare not do anything out of line.'

After saying this, he turned to Tang Ran and smiled, 'Since you are the first-in-line heir, I should call you Auntie Tang. Hello, Auntie Tang, it's a pleasure to meet you!'

Before Tang Ran could say anything, he turned to Zhou Ming and said, 'I presume you must be Uncle Zhou? Hello!'

This greeting of 'uncle' made both Zhou Ming and Tang Ran blush. Although Tang Ran had always said that she liked Zhou Ming, they had only said it in private, and now to hear it said so openly by another person made them feel very embarrassed.

So they didn't know what to say, and just laughed it off. Only Tang Lin felt very hurt, because originally Tang Ran was going to trick her into marrying him.

Walking all the way into the fort, Tang Ran said with a smile, 'This child doesn't know who I am. He looks so young, and I didn't expect him to be so sweet-talking. He even called me his aunt, and...'

Tang Ran said shyly, stealing a glance at Zhou Ming, her heart full of small joys and shyness.

In response, Zhou Ming of course could easily tell what she was going to say next, but this was not the time to get personal, so Zhou Ming had to say something else: 'Actually, that kid was just saying that he is actually not as simple as he seems, especially when he heard just now that you are the first heir apparent, I think he is probably related to the second heir apparent.'

Tang Lin then picked up Zhou Ming's train of thought and said, 'Mr. Zhou Ming, you guessed it right, he is the nephew of the second-in-line successor Tang Yu. Since Tang Yu's sister became pregnant and gave birth to him when she was he was not considered important by the family. Even his sister didn't care much for him, and only his uncle Tang Yu took care of him. Even now, he has always been very loyal to Tang Yu.'

'Then In that case, since he already knows, doesn't that mean that the second-in-line successor, Tang Yu, also needs to know?' Tang Ran exclaimed in surprise.

Tang Lin nodded in agreement. Tang Ran then asked Zhou Ming what to do, and Zhou Ming thought for a moment and replied, 'Since it's already come to light, let's not hide it. Let's go and pay our respects to the family elders.'

Zhou Ming then turned to Tang Lin and asked, 'Is there a problem with this in the Tang family?'

Tang Lin shook his head and said there was no problem. Only then did they go to the ancestral hall. According to Tang Lin, before every family banquet, the elders of the family would always first pay tribute to their ancestors in the ancestral hall to show their respect for their ancestors and to pray for blessings.

The temple is in the very centre of the entire fort, and as he walked towards the centre, Zhou Ming realised that the fort was really a castle with one layer after another. Apart from the outermost bastion, there are several other high walls inside, and in the middle of each high wall, there is a certain amount of space left. If you look at it from the air, it will look a lot like a circle of tree rings. Then, in the very centre, there is only about half a square kilometre of space, where the Tang family ancestral hall and old residence are located.

With Tang Lin, Zhou Ming and Tang Ran arrived at the Tang ancestral hall without any problems. At the entrance to the ancestral hall, however, someone was waiting for them. He was wearing a black Chinese stand-up collar suit and had a light stubble beard, which made him look even more mature.

On seeing this person, Tang Lin immediately stopped in his tracks and coldly said, 'Tang Yu, I never thought that you would really become the dog of a few uncles just for the inheritance.'

Hearing Tang Lin's outspokenness about the man's name also dispelled any other illusions that Zhou Ming and Tang Ran might have had. It was obvious that it was the same person who had been at the door. After learning that Tang Ran was coming, he had informed Tang Yu, who had deduced that he would come to the ancestral hall first, otherwise it would be hard to explain why he would be waiting here.

Although Tang Lin's words were very rude, but Tang Yu was not angry. He just said, 'I'm just here to help a few elders with things. After all, someone has to do them. You don't understand. If I were like you, it would be a shame.'

As he spoke, Tang Yu noticed Zhou Ming and Tang Ran next to Tang Lin, so he walked up to them and said, 'I presume this is the first-in-line successor, Tang Ran, whom my uncle mentioned at the last family meeting? You are indeed a very beautiful girl, and I am very happy to meet you here.'

Tang Yu said, taking two more steps forward: 'I heard you came from the mainland. That's really sad. Although I don't know what had to stay there. But now that you're here in San Francisco, that's great, because you've finally given me a chance. I think I can take care of you in Uncle Tang's place.'

With that, Tang Yu confidently extended his hand to Tang Ran: 'Now, Tang Ran, I think you can give me your hand. I will hold it very gently.'

At Tang Yu's words made Zhou Ming frown immediately. Although he and Tang Ran have never officially established a relationship, he cannot tolerate his woman being hit on like this. Does he really think he is Song Zhongji?

However Before Zhou Ming could say anything, Tang Ran hid behind him and looked at Tang Yu with some fear, saying, 'What's wrong with Ming? Is he mentally ill? No normal person would say those things.'

Those sent Zhou Ming and Tang Lin both bursting out laughing. Zhou Ming stepped forward and said, 'This is Mr. Tang Yu, right? First of all I'm sorry. Ranran's words are always so direct and unfiltered, but you seem to be wondering the same thing, because no one would speak to someone they just met like that, right? Not that I'm saying this about you, but this forced act of yours is a bit much.

'What What's pretending to be arrogant? I don't understand what you're saying. I simply wanted to greet Tang Ran, even though I knew it might scare her. But I couldn't help doing it, because Tang Ran is really pretty, and it's my principle to look after beautiful old people and children.'

Pretending to be b, he then said to Zhou Ming, 'It seems that you are the friend of cousin Tang Ran. I don't know how deep your relationship is, but from now on, she has returned to the Tang family, which means that she is family. You can't get close to her, so I need you to leave her alone. Of course I won't let you do this for nothing. You can name any number you like, and I can give it to you if you say it.'

'Really really? You can give me whatever I say?' Zhou Ming asked meaningfully.

'Of course, no matter how much money you want, I can afford it, as long as you ask,' Tang Yu said.

'I want 30% of the shares of Tang Bank, and the kind with voting rights. Can you give me that too?' Zhou Ming asked.

Tang Yu A flash of brilliance in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He then said, 'The shares are hard to explain, but I can give you this as cash. The total assets of Tangren Bank are currently 500 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to 150 billion US dollars in cash. I...'

Before before Tang Yu could finish speaking, Zhou Ming interrupted him, saying, 'Mr Tang Yu, are you joking with me? Or do you really think that the total assets of Tang Yin Bank are only 500 billion US dollars? If if Mr. Tang is serious, I don't mind paying 600 billion US dollars to acquire the entire Tang Bank. I wonder what Mr. Tang thinks?'

Tang Yu frowned for the first time. He looked at Zhou Ming with some impatience and said, 'What do you really want to say?'

Zhou Ming smiled and said, 'I didn't mean to say anything, I just saw that Mr. Tang Yu's forced outfit is really terrible, I just couldn't bear to watch it anymore. Do you think I don't know that the question you just asked deliberately was to make Tang Ran look down on me and give up on me automatically? I can only say that your idea is really idiotic!'

'You How dare you scold me? Do you know who I am?' Tang Yuk Han asked Zhou Ming in a stern voice.

Zhou Ming nodded and said, 'Of course I know. Villains have three major lines of argument: you know who I am, you know who my father is, and you know what my family is like. Unfortunately, none of that is of any use to me.'

'I know that as the second-in-line successor, Tang Yu, if you marry Tang Ran, you can basically be sure to inherit the family fortune. That's why you waited here especially after you found out the situation, and openly courting her, there is nothing wrong with these actions. There is just one thing: please use your brain more next time, otherwise I believe he is going to rust to death.'

After saying that Zhou Ming finally said, 'In fact, it was completely an accident that Tang Ran and I were involved in your family succession turmoil at the beginning, but now seeing the intelligence of people like you is really very touching, so for the future of the Tang family, we have decided to fight with you!'

Although Although Tang Yu understood Tang Ran's goal when he heard her identity, he was still stunned when he actually heard Zhou Ming say it.

However at that moment, a voice suddenly came from the ancestral hall: 'If you want to inherit, you have to show some real skills!'
