The Protagonist’s Halo - Chapter 172
After Tang Chunian returned to the room, the gentleness and harmlessness of Zhang Junyi’s face had long since disappeared from the banquet. His face was heavy and dark. Even if he knew that the old man had this idea, he never expected that he would announce the heir on the spot at the banquet where Tang Yu was rectified, and even the will and the lawyer were prepared.
This hit him off guard.
The old man didn’t notify him in advance, obviously he was also guarding him, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in Tang Chunian’s eyes.
Even if the truth about Tang Yu’s life experience became clear before, Tang Chunian never thought that she had just been recognized back to the Tang family, and she was an ordinary student at a very young age, and what threat she could pose to him. The dislike for her is more because of Tang Ying, the girl he put on the tip of his heart lost everything because of her appearance.
As a result, the father’s play to establish an heir directly slapped him in the face.
It is equivalent to showing everyone that Tang Yu is not only the protagonist of this banquet, but also the protagonist of the Tang family in the future. Everyone should revolve around her.
Just like Tang Mingzhe, the dazzling son of Tang Jiagui.
And he can only live in the shadows, relying on a little light from the two fathers and sons to survive. After Tang Mingzhe died, he could walk to the front of the stage and own his world. For what reason, his ability and his excellence never lose to Tang Mingzhe, but as long as Tang Mingzhe is there, the old man can’t see him, and others can’t see him. They will always only see Tang Ming, the eldest son of the Tang family. The existence of Zhe.
There is a memory deep in Tang Chunian’s heart that he wants to forget and erase, that is the difficult days he experienced in the orphanage when he was young. It was not until the old man came to the orphanage, brought him back to the Tang family and named him, and said that he would be the son of the Tang family from now on, that changed his life.
After that, he lived a better life than heaven, with knowledgeable tutors, well-cooked meals, exquisite and comfortable clothes, a superior life he had never imagined. He studied desperately, wanting to be excellent and get more likes from the old man.
But he will never compare to his elder brother Tang Mingzhe. He has received praise and others will always pay less attention than Tang Mingzhe.
Later, Tang Chunian realized that he was not the illegitimate son of Elder Tang at all, but a wild species born of an ignorant girl who was greedy for vanity and was deceived by the rich man and finally abandoned mercilessly. It was just that when Elder Tang was very young, her mother was kind-hearted. I have given him a few bowls of rice to eat, and he and this girl have also had a childhood friendship. Later, it was heard that the girl and her mother were gone, and only one child was sent to the orphanage alone. Out of pity and old love, Tang Elder took him back.
After Tang Chunian knew this, he resented his biological mother incomparably, why he was not Elder Tang’s biological son, and why he couldn’t justify being the second young master of the Tang family. That period of studying abroad was the quietest and most gloomy time in Tang Chunian’s life. Later, he realized that he would not want the pitiful kindness of the old man, he would fight for it on his own, even the old Tang could not stop him.
Tang Mingzhe was upright, clean and kind, gentle and approachable, but he was well protected by the old man, and he was not exposed to the slightest darkness. Facts proved that he was better than Tang Mingzhe.
It’s just why Tang Mingzhe had such good fortune, and so did his daughter. No need to do anything, the old man will take all the best to them.
Recalling the old man’s real granddaughter Tang Yu smiled to him when he announced the heir.
Tang Chunian didn’t believe that it would be a seventeen-year-old girl deliberately taunting him. It was obviously the attitude of the old man. I am afraid that the old man taught him in advance to have such a good performance at the banquet.
And that smile really made him feel a deep tingling and humiliation.
Over the years, Tang Chunian has not been talking about smooth winds, but he has always been above a high position. Moreover, he seems to be indifferent and deep, but in fact he is still a proud and arrogant person. Tang Mingzhe, who admitted to be better than his short-lived life, ended up being even worse than his daughter.
…
The next morning, it was also the first day that Xiao Han officially lived in the Tang family. The room he stayed in last night was the new room that the old man arranged for someone to redecorate.
Xiao Han got up very early, and the student’s biological clock about to take the college entrance examination seemed to have become a routine.
After bathing in the morning light, I left the room and wandered around in the Tang family mansion. Maybe I will live here for a long time in the future. It’s better to know more about it.
Unexpectedly, I also ran into Tang Ying, Tang Chunian’s darling.
The corners of Xiao Han’s lips curled slightly and smiled. After several visits, Tang Chunian could guess Tang Ying’s feelings. Even if it did not surpass the relationship between uncle and nephew, it was of great importance. It’s not a coincidence to see Tang Ying. At the banquet last night, Xiao Han also saw that she was by Tang Chunian’s side and did not leave the Tang family. People who looked up and looked down would naturally meet her.
Tang Ying wore two heavy dark circles under her eyes. She didn’t sleep well last night. In announcing the Tang family’s heir, Tang Ying was also embarrassed by her uncle. Although she didn’t know much, she understood Mr. Tang. Tang Yu was established as the heir, and most of the properties of the Tang family belonged to Tang Yu in the future.
My uncle is so powerful, how can my grandpa do that? How much hurt my uncle’s heart.
Tang Ying had been to the group a few times before, and he often saw his uncle’s spirited and strategizing look. Those files and numbers that she couldn’t understand were handled with ease by the uncle. Tang Yu is as old as she is, can she manage such a large group well? I don’t know what Grandpa thinks.
Tang Ying couldn’t help being a bit wronged. Grandpa didn’t treat her well before, and Tang Yu had just returned for a few days.
After seeing Tang Yu, the resentment in Tang Ying’s heart suddenly surged, and his tone was the same as the past savage and willful, “You already have the identity of the Tang family’s eldest, isn’t it enough? Why do you want to? Fight with Uncle?”
Xiao Han smiled, “I will correct your mistakes first. It is not that it is not enough, but that these belong to me and have nothing to do with you. Besides, why are you still here?”
The smile in her eyes seemed to be condescending sarcasm.
Tang Ying’s face turned pale for a moment. Tang Chu-nian protected her very well. He didn’t expose her to the criticism from the outside world. Even if there were people who dared to laugh at her behind the banquet, she was given to her by the uncle. She supported her and took care of everything, so after the shock and panic of the first two days, Tang Ying had an ostrich mentality, and she firmly grasped and relied on her uncle. She was still the daughter of the Tang family, and her life was no different from before.
But now Xiao Han was pierced in front of her face, as if she had exposed her scars face to face, Tang Ying’s face turned red, red and white, and his heart was full of shame and annoyance, and he said sternly, “Grandpa and My uncle didn’t say let me go, why can’t I stay here.”
Yes, that’s it. Even if Tang Yu comes back, what will happen to her. She has been in Tang’s house for so many years. Both her uncle and grandpa have feelings for her and will not be willing to drive her away. Tang Ying is so convinced and Self-comforted.
Xiao Han smiled slightly, “Is your surname Tang? I should remind you, should you be named Jiang Ying instead of Tang Ying?”
The words’Jiang Ying’ instantly tore through the last layer of her self-esteem and pride, and reminded her of the desolate and hardworking woman she saw in the Public Security Bureau. If she left the Tang family, she would lose her daughter from the Tang family. She was very likely to be the same as that woman. Tang Ying couldn’t help faltering when thinking of this possible future.
This scene was seen by Wang’s mother who came out of the kitchen, and she immediately stepped forward to defend it distressedly, “Miss Tang Yu, don’t speak so bitterly at a young age, otherwise it’s easy to appear uneducated. After all, you are now a young lady from the Tang family. , It’s not the same status as before.”
Xiao Han admired Tang Ying’s pitiful appearance for a while, then looked sideways, glanced at her casually, and said, “Who are you?”
Mother Wang raised her chest slightly, seeming to be quite arrogant, “I am the mother Wang of the kitchen. I have been working in the Tang family for fifteen years. Miss Tang Ying has a soft temper and has always been kind to us servants. I can see you really. I’m not used to you bullying Miss Tang Ying like this, so I can’t help but tell the truth. Don’t be upset when you hear it.”
She really opened her eyes and said nonsense, Xiao Han smiled, “I think your temper is bigger than your cooking skills. I think the Tang family doesn’t need a servant like you.”
Mother Wang panicked when she heard this. A high-paying and comfortable job like the Tang family was still calculated based on the annual salary. She couldn’t bear to leave. If she was driven away, she might even be a problem with old-age care, but she thought that behind her was the second young master. Tang Chunian, but Mr. Tang confessed that she wanted to protect Miss Tang Ying, so he became confident again.
“Miss Tang Yu, I have worked for the Tang family for so many years, and I am also an old man in the Tang family. I have no credit for hard work. You are going to drive me away because of a word. It’s too cold-blooded.”
When Xiao Han looked at it, he could see that the servant seemed to rely on something, but he couldn’t see the situation clearly, and he didn’t even know who Xiao Han was. She was not a good soft persimmon, she was so scared that she was stepped on her head by a servant after a few words.
“You bully the host’s servant like this, no one can afford it. As for what I said doesn’t work, you’ll know soon.”
Only a few minutes later, seeing Xiao Han coming with the housekeeper behind her, Wang Ma’s face instantly turned pale. At this time, she was really scared. She thought that Miss Tang Yu was even the granddaughter of the old man, but she was staying outside. After more than ten years, she may not be able to adapt to the life of the Tang family. I am afraid that her temperament is similar to her granddaughter in her hometown. For one or two points, the little girl can have any wrists besides her mouth being harder.
Who would have thought that Miss Tang Yu was not scared by her at all, and turned around and called the butler over.
“The housekeeper.” Seeing the serious-faced housekeeper, Wang Ma’s momentum suddenly became weak. Although the housekeeper has been with the old man and is away from Tang’s house for most of the year, she still has a lot of prestige in the servants’ minds.
What is the county magistrate is not as good as it is now, that’s it.
Xiao Han was not surprised by the two faces of Wang Ma. She had just returned to Tang’s house for less than a day. Naturally, she couldn’t compare with the majesty established by the butler in Tang’s house for decades. ?
She smiled slightly, “As for the elderly of the Tang family, who can be compared with Grandpa butler for hard work, but Grandpa Butler has never said that I am acrimonious, cold-blooded and ruthless. What qualifications do you have?”
Speaking of the last sentence, Xiao Han’s face became cold, and this compelling aura seemed to Wang Ma’s eyes for a while like Elder Tang, and her legs were a little weak in fright.
“I didn’t manage it properly, letting such a person stay in Tang’s house, the little lady can rest assured, I will deal with it now.”
The butler’s face turned completely dark, and his heart was angry and guilty. He was truly a loyal man. The subordinates in the family really need to be reorganized. Just when the little lady came back, someone actually showed her face to dismiss her. Who gave her the courage to treat her grandfather’s granddaughter and the heir of the Tang family.
Wang Ma looked at the butler’s face and realized that she was about to lose her job in the Tang family and was driven out, so she was even more afraid and quickly said, “Butler, miss, I, I was just a momentary gaffe. It was I who said the wrong thing.”
Xiao Han said indifferently, “The servants in the family perform their duties and do their own duties. What do other things have to do with them?”
Wang Ma regretted her death in her heart. She was blindfolded and felt that the new lady was so bully.
“And the people I don’t like don’t want them to stay in the Tang family. I wonder if they have this right?”
When Xiao Han said this, he raised his eyes and glanced at Tang Ying, with a full smile, which was naturally full of malice in the latter’s eyes.
The butler said slightly, “Of course.”
…
“Uncle.” Tang Chunian heard Tang Ying’s voice and opened the door, and then saw that Tang Ying seemed to be wronged and threw his head into her arms.
The butler dismissed Mother Wang in less than ten minutes and asked her to leave the Tang house in a bedding. When Wang Ma left, she wanted to ask Tang Ying for help, but what can Tang Ying do? The housekeeper is only polite and polite to her now. Her words are of no use at all, and she was given the glance of Xiao Han’s murder Frightened, as long as Xiao Han doesn’t like it, he can’t stay in the Tang’s house. The first person to leave is Wang Ma, and will she be the next one to be kicked out.
Recalling that Wang Ma was almost forcibly sent away by the Tang family’s bodyguard just now, and she was afraid that her noisy voice would disturb the cleanliness of the family in the morning, and people would cover her mouth, Tang Ying couldn’t help being scared, so she subconsciously So I came to find Tang Chunian, now only my uncle can give her a sense of security.
Hearing Tang Ying sobbing and talking intermittently, Tang Chunian’s eyes instantly became cold.
Wang Ma was the person he arranged to put in Tang’s house, and it was only natural to protect Tang Ying, but Tang Yu gave him a prestige first.
“Will I be driven away too?” Tang Ying looked at Tang Chunian cautiously with red eyes, making the latter more distressed. The girl he held in the palm of his hand was so proud and reckless, she would never show such a scared and timid look.
Tang Chunian suppressed the anger in his heart, reached out his hand to touch Tang Ying’s hair, smiled gently on his face, “Of course not, there is my uncle.”
If before, Tang Ying was full of dependence and would believe her uncle’s words, but now, she remembered that Tang Yu was declared as the heir by her grandfather yesterday, and the housekeeper respected her and acknowledged her power in the Tang family, then… uncle Will it still be useful?
Tang Ying was a little hesitant in her heart, but she didn’t dare to say it. She also sensed that her younger uncle was very upset about Tang Yu’s succession, and she might make him angry if she mentioned it. Now she can only rely on her younger uncle. If the uncle doesn’t like her, she may really have nothing. So she nestled in her uncle’s arms and nodded obediently.
…
Bullying Tang Ying will definitely attract Tang Chunian, and Xiao Han has been mentally prepared.
Looking at the man who came over to ask the guilt, Xiao Han smiled slightly, “I should call you uncle.”
Tang Chunian’s face sank, his gloomy eyes fell on Xiao Han, and he said coldly, “If you regard me as a grown-up, then apologize to Yingying.”
Xiao Han was still calm and composed, and was very indifferent to what he said.
And Tang Chunian couldn’t really do anything to her, and his tone turned softly, “Yingying is innocent like you. The mistakes that make you live outside by changing children are the sins of that woman, and Yingying. It doesn’t matter that Ying, she didn’t do anything wrong, and she has nowhere to go if she leaves the Tang family, which will not be good for the Tang family’s reputation for you.”
Xiao Han dared to say that if her grandfather hadn’t announced her as the heir, Tang Chunian would have a different attitude towards her, certainly not as mildly scrupulous as it is now.
Thinking about the seniority status of the theory of seniority in the Tang family, it was enough for Tang Chunian to dominate her, and even to teach her, to protect Tang Ying grandiosely. I have to say that Grandpa Tang’s wisdom is still online, and he is very careful with her granddaughter, and many things have been prevented in advance.
Xiao Han smiled and said, “She won’t have nowhere to go. There is still a house in the Jiang family. I have lived there for many years, so I can live well.”
Tang Chunian’s eyes were instantly cold when she saw her, how could Yingying have endured such suffering since she was spoiled and raised.
At this time the butler came over and reminded that it was time for breakfast.
In the dining room, Father Tang was sitting at the long table, and when he saw Xiao Han he smiled and said, “I’m an old man, and I get up later. I’m not as young as you. I’ll go to bed early and get up early. Get up early, don’t wait for me, just let the kitchen make breakfast for you.”
The breakfast on the table is mostly of the type and taste that Xiao Han likes. The housekeeper knows what to do without the father’s order. If a mother of the king is fired in the morning, the people in the kitchen are also more careful.
Tang Chunian also came with Tang Ying, and the smile on his face faded a little when the old man saw him.
“Grandpa.” Tang Yingying had expectations in her eyes, and there was some fantasy that Grandpa would still love her as much as he did in the past, so she was subdued by a few words of coquetry.
The butler stopped her outside the restaurant and said politely, “Miss Tang Ying, please go back to the room, don’t disturb the master’s meal.”
The old housekeeper is most considerate of Don’s heart. No matter how complicated Don’s feelings for Tang Ying are, the old man and the young lady will not be in a good mood when she appears here.
Tang Ying bit his lip slightly, and wanted to look at Tang Chunian for help, but the latter coldly said nothing. Tang Chunian knew that no matter what he said was useless, he could only allow Tang Ying to be sent back to the room by his servant, sad and sad.
After drinking a small bowl of porridge, Xiao Han suddenly said, “Is she still named Tang Ying now?”
Tang Ying’s name was carefully chosen by Tang Mingzhe and his wife after they knew they were pregnant with a daughter, but it was used by others for 17 years. If they continue to call it, both Yuanshen and Yuanshen’s parents may not be very happy.
The old man also frowned when he heard this. All his attention these days was on Tang Yu, and other things were a little ignored. Now, thinking about it, it is inappropriate for Tang Ying to be surnamed Tang.
The old man nodded, “Let her change back to her original surname, she shouldn’t stay in the Tang family anymore.”
Tang Chunian’s expression was uncontrollable and ugly for a moment, and it happened to fall in the eyes of the old man, and he couldn’t help but feel disappointed. The young man he looked at grew up, and he didn’t know when he became a little strange.
What happened at home in the morning, even if he didn’t know, the butler would tell him.
Originally, the old man still wanted to keep Tang Chunian, to communicate and comfort him, so that he and Tang Yu could get along well, even if there is no deep family affection, they can help each other a lot in the future, but now it seems that Chunian’s heart is partial. It was too powerful, and I didn’t understand what he meant.
The servant who dared to bully his pro-granddaughter would not only be so easy to be dismissed, but the only thing related to his pro-granddaughter was his rebellious scales. Once touched, the old man is not a kind person.
The old man was even grateful for his decision to directly establish the position of the heir.
Before making a decision, he also hesitated, whether he was too anxious, the pressure on A Yu was too great, the wood was beautiful in the forest, and the wind was easy to destroy. But looking at it now, with the identity of this heir, at least no one would dare to look down on her because A Yu had been outside for seventeen years and had not received the elite education of the upper class.
She was supposed to be the future heir of the Tang family, but now she is even more justified. Even if there are any shortcomings, it is enough to gradually make up for them and cultivate them carefully.
Lest someone make irresponsible remarks. He is not in good spirits when he is old, and it is inevitable that there are some omissions. If Tang Chunian has a bad attitude towards Tang Yu because of Tang Ying, then he is at home and outside. Isn’t her granddaughter Tang Yu even more bullied?
The old man will not wrong his own granddaughter, so he can only wrong others. The old man settled his attention, and said lightly on his face, “Give her an outside house and raise her until she is eighteen, so the Tang family can be considered worthy of her.”
This is also the greatest tolerance of the old man, and it even depends on Tang Chunian’s face.
Tang Chunian was in a bad mood, but the person who spoke was the head of the Tang family, Mr. Tang, and even he couldn’t resist. Tang Chunian tried to maintain a calm and calm appearance. He just ate some food and took it. Wiping his mouth with a napkin, he stood up and said, “I’m going to the company first.”
Looking at Tang Chunian’s appearance, Xiao Han chuckles in his heart. This is just the beginning, and he doesn’t know how he can protect his precious niece after losing his position of power. I am afraid that he will not even be able to protect himself.
The old man noticed that the relationship between his granddaughter and Chu Nian didn’t seem to be very good, but he didn’t say anything when he met Xiao Han’s candid sight. Obviously Chu Nian had a bigger problem.
