Chapter 176 Ling Zhen Became His Weakness
Zhuang Yu, who had just avoided Tang Shuya, now appeared in front of him. Seeing Tang Shuya's gloomy face, he knew that his conversation with Tang Yongnian was not very pleasant.
Even without asking, Zhuang Yu could probably guess what their conversation was about.
In this regard, Zhuang Yu and Tang Yongnian agree.
I think Tang Shuya should marry a lady of equal social status and a real lady from a noble family. Not only can she help Tang Shuya in his career, but she can also take on the important task of being the mistress of the Tang family in the rear, so that Tang Shuya has no worries.
Growing up in the Tang family, he has long regarded the Tang family as his second home. Old Master Tang is like his adopted parent, and his upbringing and education of him are almost the same as Tang Shuya's.
He was not interested in the revival of the banker. Instead, he wanted to help Tang Shuya make the Genting Group bigger and stronger and take it to the next level.
He hopes to do his best to become Tang Shuya's most capable and trusted friend.
He had some understanding of Tang Shuya. Ling Zhen was able to make Tang Shuya take the initiative to ask Old Master Tang to give her a status, which showed that Tang Shuya's feelings for her were not simple.
Thinking of this, his head suddenly hurt.
"Is there any cigarette?"
Tang Shuya's cold and calm voice echoed in the corridor.
He had a craving for a cigarette and felt his pocket only to find that the cigarette box was empty.
"Have."
Zhuang Yu knocked the cigarette box and a cigarette jumped out. When Tang Shuya took out the cigarette and put it to his lips, he immediately picked up the lighter and lit the cigarette for Tang Shuya himself.
There was a "pop" sound.
The scarlet flames flickered on. Tang Shuya held a cigarette between his two fingers, gently pressing the cigarette butt between his lips. After taking a deep breath, a misty white smoke slowly came out from between his thin lips and swirled around him.
Zhuang Yu also took a puff, and smoke drifted out as he spoke, "Brother Shuya, I feel like I'm increasingly unable to understand your thoughts."
"What do you want to say?"
Zhuang Yu pressed on, "Brother Shuya, just tell me honestly, what are you thinking? You and Ling Yuan have a child, and you still want us to call her sister-in-law. Are you serious?"
Is he serious?
Is this serious?
Not to mention Zhuang Yu, even Tang Shuya himself was not sure.
It seems that after doing the play for so long, I really think I am a character in the play.
Tang Yongnian's words just now were like a wake-up call that hit Tang Shuya's head, making him sober up a lot.
For someone like him, wanting to live an ordinary life and get married and have children as he pleases is simply wishful thinking.
If he wasn't the only child in the Tang family, perhaps his burden would be lighter.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he felt a little regretful. If he hadn't plotted against Ling Tianhua back then, and Ling Yuan was still a girl with a clean background, then wouldn't they have been able to...
Then he laughed at himself. Indeed, many women were attracted by his appearance and background, but Ling Zhen was different from them. She never cared about these things.
Besides, there are many men around her. If he hadn't intervened early, she would have been a wife by now.
How can there still be a place for myself?
Never mind, none of this matters now.
He cannot be bound by emotions, and should not waste his energy on love affairs.
For him, career comes first, not pursuing something as illusory as love.
Tang Shuya leaned lazily against the wall, his head slightly raised, and blew a smoke ring towards the ceiling, the curve of his lips slightly raised. "It's just a joke, how could I take it seriously? Seeing that she seemed to be trapped, I thought it was funny, so I teased her."
"Really? No matter how I look at it, I feel like you treat her differently."
Zhuang Yu carefully observed his expression. The two grew up together, but Zhuang Yu had never seen him so obsessed with a woman.
Oh, after thinking about it, there really is one, but that woman has been abroad for many years.
Tang Shuya is even more addicted to Ling Yuan than the one he was back then.
Tang Shuya's eyes were half-closed, his expression gloomy and dark. He lowered his arm to shake off the ash from his cigarette. "She really is in my heart. After all, I trained her for three years before, and I spent a lot of time and energy in those three years. Now that she has become exactly what I want her to be, I'm too lazy to spend my energy training others. When I'm under a lot of pressure, others may not be able to bear it. To put it bluntly, that's all."
Tang Shuya is a gifted person with many tricks, and Zhuang Yu knows this to some extent. He thinks Ling Yuan is a remarkable person, and that even her small body can handle it. No wonder Tang Shuya is obsessed with her and wants to be with her.
"Alright, I won't say much. I'm sure you understand the reasoning. But I think your father might take some action, so we should be prepared to be on the safe side."
Tang Shuya nodded in agreement and put out the cigarette butt that had burned to the end between his fingers.
……
The next day, the news that Mr. Tang was critically ill quickly became a hot topic on the Internet and economic channels.
Although the news was clearly blocked, the media still received pictures of the old man being rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.
His face was as pale as paper, his eyes were closed, and an oxygen mask was covering his mouth and nose.
Someone spread the news deliberately.
Although Mr. Tang has retired, his presence is like the anchor of Genting Group, and many people know that he supports his grandson more than his own son.
Although this situation is rare, wealthy families often have secrets that outsiders cannot get a glimpse of.
The old man was critically ill and hospitalized, and many people felt that the structure of Genting Group might have to change.
Ling Zhen turned off his phone. Tang Shuya hadn't been back for several days.
She originally wanted to call Tang Shuya, but after hearing Han Su say that the old man was still in danger, Tang Shuya must be extremely worried. After thinking it over again and again, she just sent a message.
Tang Shuya did not reply.
She couldn't help him share anything, nor could she give him any help. The only thing she could do was to try not to disturb him and wait quietly.
Han Su had been watching Ling Zhen's expression change. Originally, he shouldn't have said anything more, but he couldn't help but comfort her, "Miss Ling, don't worry. Mr. Tang must be too worried about the old man, so he didn't have time to check his phone for a while."
Ling Zhen tightened his grip on the phone and forced himself to cheer up. "I'm fine. By the way, do you know which hospital the old man is in? I want to see if there's anything I can do to help."
Although she and Mr. Tang had only met once, and Mr. Tang had been very harsh with her when they met, she had a vague feeling that he had no ill will towards her.
Han Su had already received instructions from Tang Shuya, asking him to keep an eye on Ling Zhen and not let her run around, because Tang Yongnian's men might be watching her in secret.
Tang Shuya didn't want Ling Zhen to become his weakness.
