Chapter 369: Together
After Tang Mingkun coughed a few times, he said solemnly, “Have you started taking action? This is not a small matter.”
“This Place has gathered the top doctors in the country. If we don’t do something now, wouldn’t we be letting down the expectations of the people? I’ve already agreed to cooperate with America’s top medical organization, Pfizer Pharmaceuticals. I believe it won’t be long before they produce preventive drugs.”
Lu Ming said with a smile, his eyes filled with love for his wife. He hugged her waist and whispered, “I’ll protect you. Trust me, okay?”
Trust me.
Chu Jinyu could not say no. He had endured so many hardships. How could her beloved be defeated by a mere epidemic? However, she did not want her husband to face these things alone. Hence, she said firmly, “If you go to the office to work, I’ll go too to help you. Don’t… don’t leave me alone!”
A few years ago, she had experienced the pain of separation. She did not want to continue walking alone. Brother Lu Ming… was someone she wanted to be close to even if she had to take a huge risk!?No one knows what will happen tomorrow, so let me be willful!?she thought.
Lu Ming looked at her pleading eyes and immediately his heart ached. Going out meant that there was a risk of getting sick. Therefore, he would rather protect the person he loved. But she felt the same way. He took a deep breath and said, “If you insist on doing this, do I have any other way? Even if I don’t let you go to the office, you will secretly follow me, right?”
It was obvious that he understood her character.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
Han Qianjing and Tang Mingkun were speechless.
Why does it seem like they are going to part forever? Or could it be that we can’t keep up with the thoughts of young people nowadays??The two of them sighed in their hearts at the same time. Han Qianjing skillfully spun the pipe in her hand that had been extinguished at some point and said, “I’ll have to trouble you with this matter. If you need anything in the future, come find us anytime!”
“Okay, no problem!”
After receiving her son-in-law’s affirmative answer, she turned her gaze to her daughter. Chu Jinyu subconsciously hid behind her husband. She clicked her tongue and said, “As expected, a grown daughter must be married off. I haven’t even done anything, and you’re already hiding! Besides, I don’t intend to tie you up at home by force.
I just want to tell you to take precautions when you go out with Little Ming. I don’t want to lose two children in one go. Old Master thinks so too, right?”
Tang Mingkun nodded in agreement and echoed, “Indeed. If it weren’t for the fact that my old body can’t move for too long, I would have followed you guys to take a look. Unfortunately… As elderly people, we’d better wait here for your triumphant return! Little Ming, don’t let us down!”
He paused for a moment and continued, “If this epidemic is handled successfully, Lu Ming Corporation’s reputation and social status will rise to another level! If we can hook up with the officials, the company will definitely be invincible in the industry. What’s the Tang family to you then? If you want to take revenge, isn’t it just a matter of moving your fingers?”
He felt that although the probability of establishing a good collaboration with the officials was low, Lu Ming should still take a shot anyway rather than lose his chance!
Lu Ming naturally understood what his godfather meant. He nodded slightly and said, “I understand. I’ll definitely do my best. Just wait for our good news!”
…
Meanwhile, at the Tang residence.
After taking a short rest in Shanghai, Tang Wenyi rushed home. Somehow, she felt guilty as soon as she stepped into the house, so she consciously lightened her footsteps and looked around carefully like a thief. After seeing that the living room was empty, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to run back to her room, she suddenly heard a deep male voice. “You’re back very ‘early’. I thought you didn’t plan to come back. I was about to strike your name off the family tree. No. 3, aren’t you going to explain?”
She was supposed to come back before dawn, but he sat in the old residence until daybreak and didn’t see her! How could he not be angry? When he saw his third daughter entering the house furtively as if she was avoiding the plague, he became even angrier! What? Does she really think she’s an agent after going out for a few days? She doesn’t have the aura of a Miss Tang at all!
Looking at her actions, he even suspected that she had done something wrong outside again! Although the truth was indeed so, everything was just his guess at this point. There was no evidence at all, so he could not slander his third daughter.
As for Tang Wenyi, she turned her neck and stumbled like a robot that had rusted. She tried to smile to deal with the old master, but unfortunately, her cultivation level was not high enough. Even a blind person could tell that she was faking it!
“Old, Old Master! When did you come? You almost scared me.”
Tang Boyan sneered and said, “You scared me too! Just now, I thought that there was a thief in the house! I was wondering if those people patrolling outside were doing nothing! When I got closer, it was actually you, No. 3! Do you think my Tang family’s reputation is not bad enough? If this gets out, guess what people will say?
It’s ridiculous!”
He crossed the door sill with his walking stick, went straight towards the chair, and sat down. He said indifferently, “Are you acting dumb over there? I don’t want to play any games with you now! No. 3, come in! Otherwise, don’t blame me for taking unconventional measures!”
The frightened Tang Wenyi stood outside and did not dare to move for a long time. She stammered, “I-I just want to stand for a while. Yes, yes! That’s it! And I think I need to train my body. Didn’t you say that I don’t have the courage of Miss Tang? Maybe I’ll have it after standing for a while?”
Old Master Tang said with a faint smile, “To think you could utter that. Is there any obvious connection between these two things? Why didn’t I realize that you are so good at making things up? Aren’t you afraid of being mocked? You’re really thick-skinned. I, Tang Boyan, have always been wise. Why do I have a daughter like you?!”
In his agitation, he slammed his walking stick on the ground a few times. Tang Wenyi couldn’t help but tremble. Those who didn’t know better would probably think that she was the one who was slammed! However, in her opinion, it was about the same. After all, she was in the wrong. With Old Master’s personality, she was doomed!
She did not know how much time passed. Just as she thought that they were deadlocked, Old Master Tang threatened, “Do you want to come in yourself, or should I get the servants to throw you in?!”
