Heavenly Dragon Doctor Son-in-Law

Chapter 267 267: Is That Man Qin Long?

The Wang family was openly toying with them.

Some of them had canceled important meetings, even partnerships, just to come early and support the Wang family. Yet, the young master of the Wang family had not even let them through the main gate. To add insult to injury, they were bombarded with questions by streamers from entertainment companies, making them feel like clowns.

These were people of status and dignity! Now, they had lost all face and become a complete laughingstock.

"Director Wang, our company has a meeting to attend, so we'll be leaving now."

"Director Wang, your son is a true artist, staging such a grand play about being cuckolded."

"I believe our potential partnership requires a period of careful observation."

The more polite business owners made a point to say something to Wang Xiuhe before turning to leave. Some of the more hot-tempered ones did not even bother speaking to her, simply boarding their private jets and taking off.

The motorcade of over two hundred custom luxury cars vanished. A dozen or so private jets slowly ascended, departing the area.

Wang Xiuhe stood on the sidelines, suppressing her rage. She forced a smile and offered constant apologies as they left.

Today, the Wang family had become the biggest laughingstock in Jiang City. The countless rose petals fluttering around them seemed to be mocking them. And to make matters worse, they did not even know the first thing about their opponent. Their anger had reached its peak.

"Director Wang, what exactly is going on?" Old Master Tang took the initiative to approach Wang Xiuhe, smiling amiably as he leaned on his cane.

"Old Master Tang, I… I…" Wang Xiuhe had a helpless expression, unsure of where to begin. After all, she was just as confused.

It seems the only place to start investigating is with that man leaning on the cane. They must have planned this in advance; otherwise, how could it have gone so smoothly without anyone noticing a thing? They're making a mockery of not just the Wang family, but the Tang family too.

"Is Young Master Wang Ming toying with our Tang family?" Old Master Tang stared at Wang Xiuhe, his voice laced with anger. "Our Tang family may not be what it once was, but we are an established family. Our foundation is not necessarily weaker than yours. Does Director Wang think our Xuewu has no choice but to marry your Wang Ming?"

Knowing that Wang Ming was indeed at fault, Wang Xiuhe kept a placating smile on her face and continued to apologize. "Old Master Tang, please don't be angry… There must be a misunderstanding. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give the Tang family a satisfactory explanation. How does that sound?"

Wang Xiuhe deliberately took a humble posture, her smile unwavering.

Old Master Tang glanced at the airship in the sky and shook his head helplessly before leading the Tang family away. There was no longer any reason to stay.

"Old Master Tang, travel safely. Rest assured, I will give you a satisfactory explanation."

Just as Wang Xiuhe turned to look for Wang Ming, she was swarmed by the media.

"Director Wang, did the Wang family put on such a grand display just to pave the way for someone else?"

"Was Young Master Wang Ming preparing to welcome Miss Xuewu into the Wang family?"

"But now Miss Tang Xuewu is passionately kissing another man and has accepted his proposal. Does this mean she looks down on Young Master Wang Ming?"

The surrounding reporters pelted her with difficult questions.

"Everyone, please, don't rush. The truth is…" As a formidable businesswoman in the Wang family who had navigated the corporate world for many years, Wang Xiuhe was extremely rational. She knew what she could and could not do. Therefore, she forcefully suppressed her inner fury and graciously answered the reporters' questions.

"Beat them and get them out of my sight!"

Wang Xiuhe could contain herself, but Wang Ming was consumed by rage. The sight of every blade of grass and every tree here now felt like a profound humiliation.

With his face contorted in anger and fists clenched, Wang Ming viciously beat the female streamer and the reporters, then protectively escorted Wang Xiuhe into a car. They sped to their private jet and made a hasty escape.

This entire scene was deliberately captured in several close-up shots. Tomorrow's entertainment headlines were guaranteed to be explosive.

On the plane, Wang Ming was seething with hatred. He wanted nothing more than to kill that bastard, but right now, he couldn't get back to the venue and had no way to investigate. He couldn't even stand being near the entertainment media.

"Damn it! Hire a private detective!" Wang Ming snarled, pounding the seat. "I need to know who that bastard is!"

His assistant and subordinates immediately scrambled to carry out his orders.

"When I find out who he is, I'll tear him apart with my bare hands! He dared to cuckold me so grandly!" Wang Ming roared, his eyes nearly popping from their sockets as he beat his chest and stomped his feet.

His murderous intent toward the man who had appeared out of nowhere was hundreds of times greater than his hatred for Qin Long.

"Young Master Wang, we'll find him and teach him a harsh lesson," his subordinates and assistant vowed, nodding vigorously. They were afraid the enraged Wang Ming might do something rash.

By this time, the Sky Garden had already circled the area a dozen or so times before slowly returning to its original position. However, the crowd of spectators below had only grown larger, all of them intensely curious about the man who had cuckolded Wang Ming.

But after the airship docked, Tang Xuewu and Qin Long were nowhere to be seen. Everyone assumed they had either retired to a hotel room or slipped away quietly. After waiting a hundred minutes with no further developments, the crowd slowly dispersed, still marveling at the spectacular proposal that had taken place in the Sky Garden.

「Elsewhere.」

In the Tang family's courtyard, the surrounding area was packed with cars. The members of the Tang family had all gathered here, having never left. Zhang Meilan had even ordered takeout from a restaurant so they could eat while they waited. They, too, were dying to know the identity of the mysterious man who had stolen Wang Ming's thunder.

"She's still not back?" Old Master Tang looked angrily at Zhang Meilan, who was trying to call her daughter.

"Her phone isn't picking up," Zhang Meilan said, showing the unanswered call screen to Old Master Tang.

The Tang family members fell into a tense silence, their expressions grim.

Old Master Tang thought for a few seconds before asking quickly, "Has Xuewu met any other men recently?"

"Father, not at all," Tang De immediately said, defending his daughter. "You know Xuewu is a workaholic. When she's not busy with work projects, she's at home taking care of Qin Long. How could she possibly have time to meet other men?"

Hearing this, Tang Yuxiang and Tang Chuchu nodded in agreement. It was the truth. For the past three years, Tang Xuewu's life had revolved around Qin Long and the company. During that time, many wealthy young men had pursued her like a swarm of bees to a flower, but she had mercilessly rejected them all.

Old Master Tang took a sip of tea, his brow furrowed in deep thought.

"This is strange. I know Xuewu's character all too well," he said, his voice full of confidence. "She would never accept a proposal from a stranger. Since she agreed and even embraced him, it means they must have known each other for a long time and are very close."

A murmur of agreement went through the room.

After a moment's thought, Tang Yuxiang boldly ventured, "Grandpa, it couldn't be that cripple Qin Long, could it?"

"How could it be! Absolutely impossible!"
