Ye Shu instantly felt a wave of embarrassment upon hearing this. Clearly, the other party knew they were coming with requests in hand, be it for cooperation or resources. That’s why they would say not to discuss business during personal time!
"Uncle Tang, we’re just—" Qin Qianqian hadn’t finished speaking when Tang Jingrong already waved his hand and said, "Show the guests out!"
Truly a difficult character to deal with!
Ye Shu, not waiting for the bodyguards to come and usher them out, said to Tang Jingrong, "Mr. Tang, you are mistaken. Since you don’t wish to discuss business during private time, it just so happens that we came tonight only to deliver a small token of goodwill to Mr. Tang."
As she finished speaking, she immediately gestured for Sun Nanjue and Big Commander B to carry a medium-sized root carving to the side of a pavilion and set it down.
Unlike other root carvings, this was an ancient tree fossil. The creator had hardly used a knife, essentially maintaining the original shape of the ancient tree with its sprawling roots and lush leaves, symbolizing a stable career and long-lasting fortune!
Tang Jingrong only needed one look to grow fond of the ancient tree fossil. Yet, as someone who stands by his word, he continued to wave his hand and said, "Take it away. I never accept unearned rewards!"
Ye Shu replied, "Mr. Tang, please don’t mind. There’s a saying that even if business fails, respect remains. This gift has already been brought here, and taking it back is merely adding a burden to us. Mainly because Mr. Tang is someone who recognizes quality goods. We truly wish for Mr. Tang’s father to be evergreen like the tree and live a long life."
As Ye Shu spoke, her eyes wandered towards the inner hall, "Mr. Tang, the grandfather with white hair inside, he is your father, isn’t he?"
"Ah..." Tang Jingrong couldn’t help but sigh and said, "Alas, it’s embarrassing, really. With me busy with business and unable to care for my father, his dementia set in earlier than expected."
Ou Linlin and the others saw Tang Jingrong willing to engage with Ye Shu and instantly felt that a turning point had come!
However, just at that moment, two women rushed in from outside. Ye Shu and the others turned their heads and saw it was the Han Family mother and daughter!
"Damn, those two disgusting creeps, why did they come here? They’re like a piece of persistent, stinky plaster. Could someone have leaked the news?" Ou Linlin muttered annoyedly, glaring at the old hen.
But what was even more infuriating for them was yet to come!
As soon as Mrs. Han came in and glanced at Tang Jingrong, she actually opened her mouth and called out, "Jingrong, cousin!"
And not only did she call out, but she also walked over with Han Ruixin, "Ruxin, come and greet your cousin!"
Holy moly! Sun Nanjue and everyone else almost vomited in disgust!
It is known that there are shameless people aplenty, but they had never seen such a super-unparalleled mega shameless one!
Tang Jingrong stared at the Han Family mother and daughter for three minutes, utterly unable to recall how he had turned into their cousin and uncle.
"Cousin Jingrong, you don’t recognize me? I’m Lin Han, remember? When we were kids, I was neighbors with your cousin in Qintang Village, Huang Temple Street. We used to play house together, don’t you remember? I was the one with two thick braids, always chasing after you to play. Does that refresh your memory?"
Tang Jingrong awkwardly replied, "Oh, it’s you. I’m sorry, I almost completely forgot about that place. It’s been so long; if you hadn’t mentioned it—the place, I almost forgot about it all. Right, you were my cousin’s neighbor, so..."
"Because you are my neighbor’s cousin, and I am my neighbor’s sister, that makes you my cousin too, right? No problem, right?"
"Oh, no problem, no problem at all, please come inside..." Tang Jingrong invited the Han Family mother and daughter inside.
