Chapter 893: Chapter 890: From Now On, We Are One of Us

Seizing the moment while the car was stopped at a red light, Yan Bo reached out to stroke her hair.

"Hmm, Uncle Tong is right, this is our business, you don’t need to worry about it," he said.

Tong Xiaohua glared at him, then turned her head and glared fiercely at Elder Tong, "Dad, don’t you lead Yan Bo astray."

Elder Tong chuckled, "Oh? What counts as leading astray? I am a good man, you know!"

Tong Xiaohua wasn’t sure how to define ’bad’, but she really didn’t like a lot of the men’s behavior in Tong village, of course, this didn’t include her father.

In Tong Xiaohua’s eyes, Elder Tong had always been a good husband and a good father.

As for his ruthless image outside, it was also because of his status, and it was necessary for him.

Just like her, now that she had taken the same position, she understood even more that her father had had many moments when he couldn’t help himself.

Fortunately, her father had always been extremely loyal to her mother, which was something Tong Xiaohua took pride in.

In today’s era, marriages where couples were loyal to each other were not that common. Especially for men like her father who had money and power, being consistently faithful to one’s wife was even rarer.

Thus, after being questioned by her father like that, Tong Xiaohua didn’t know how to respond for a moment.

"All right, I know Xiao Yan doesn’t smoke or drink. You’re afraid I’ll teach him that, right?"

Elder Tong, also very devoted to his daughter, took the initiative to relieve Tong Xiaohua from the awkward situation.

Mrs. Tong gave Elder Tong a look, "You still have the nerve to say that, your smoking habit is so bad I’m thinking about sending you to a rehab center."

The family of three sweetly bickered with each other as they reunited after a long separation.

As for Yan Bo, whenever something related to him came up, he would respond seriously. When it wasn’t related to him, he didn’t interrupt, just listened with a smile and drove attentively towards Tong village.

Qin Ming had specifically chosen a hotel near Tong village to set up a banquet with twenty tables, celebrating Elder Tong and his wife’s return with the Tong family and their brothers.

As Tong Xiaohua’s boyfriend, Yan Bo naturally sat in the place of honor with her family.

Many of the Tong brothers didn’t recognize him and didn’t know his relationship with the Tong family; hence, after seeing him, they began whispering amongst themselves.

"Who is that man? Could he be a new underling Elder Tong has taken under his wing?"

"Are you dumb? Elder Tong has retired, he said he won’t deal with the Tong family’s affairs anymore and has handed it all over to Miss. How could he possibly take on a new underling?"

Only Li Lin and Liu Jian recognized him as the third Young Master of the Yan Family and vaguely guessed that he was probably attending the banquet as the boyfriend of Miss.

However, speculation aside, both Li Lin and Liu Jian were men who knew the ways of the world. There were things they shouldn’t say, and they wouldn’t leak a word about it.

In contrast, Elder Tong was very generous. When brothers came over to toast, he introduced Yan Bo to everyone.

"This is the CEO of Yanhuang Real Estate, the third Young Master Yan, and also Xiao Hua’s boyfriend. From now on, he’s one of us, everyone please look out for each other."

With Elder Tong’s words, the entire room was astounded.

You must know, these words were equivalent to telling everyone in the Tong family that this man was under his protection, and nobody should think of bullying him – and they should also prevent others from doing so!

Although Elder Tong had clearly stated he had stepped back, his influence remained. Now that he had laid it out like this, the underworld in L City would definitely not dare to provoke Yan Bo.

Not only were the Tong family brethren surprised, but Yan Bo himself was somewhat taken aback.

From the data he had someone gather, Elder Tong’s statement was enough to allow him to move freely through L City.

Not enough money? The Tong Family bank has plenty of it!

Can’t connect with people? Elder Tong himself has ways to help him get through many barriers.

No business for the company? As long as Elder Tong is willing to speak up, there will be lots of people eager to offer business opportunities coming to the door.

Of course, Yan Bo didn’t need any of these.

Regarding money, he temporarily had no need to worry.

As for connections, he had his own relationships and methods to smooth things out.

In terms of company business, it was the least of his concerns. Looking at the momentum of Yanhuang Real Estate over the past two or three months, he even felt that his goals could be achieved six months to a year earlier than planned.

But whether he needed these things was one matter; the fact that Elder Tong made such a statement in front of more than two hundred Tong Family members was enough to show how important he was in Elder Tong’s eyes.

Of course, this importance stemmed from his relationship with Tong Xiaohuai.

If he had nothing to do with Tong Xiaohua, Elder Tong wouldn’t even give him a second glance.

Or, if he dared to treat Tong Xiaohua the slightest bit badly, the suppression he would face would be fatal, which he also clearly understood.

So, Elder Tong’s words were actually a double-edged sword. If he stayed loyal to Tong Xiaohua and the Tong Family, the sword could help him defeat enemies. Otherwise, it would be used to take his life!

"Dad, you’ve had too much to drink, what are you talking about?"

Tong Xiaohua clearly wasn’t as astute as Yan Bo; she didn’t see the hidden warning and threat behind her father’s words, only feeling that her father was speaking too soon. After all, she and Yan Bo had only been dating for about ten days!

But her father’s words sounded as if she was already married to Yan Bo.

With such a misunderstanding, Tong Xiaohua’s face turned bright red.

"Xiaohua, just think of it as your dad having had too much to drink!"

Elder Tong was a crafty old fox. To trust Yan Bo enough to leave his daughter with him, he naturally had investigated his family background thoroughly.

It turned out that he wasn’t worried that Yan Bo would mistreat his precious daughter and lead her on, because someone as smart as Yan Bo wouldn’t bother with his silly girl without being fully aware of what he was getting into.

What worried him, instead, were the people from the old Yan Family in Capital City.

Indeed, now it’s all about free choice in marriage, and parental orders are completely disregarded; not many young people listen.

But with major clans like the Yan Family, if they really opposed these two children being together, could Yan Bo withstand the pressure?

This was something Elder Tong was not yet certain of.

After all, Yan Bo was still very young.

"Uncle Tong, I’ll drink this wine, please feel free!"

Yan Bo passed the wine-filled cup to the brothers who came to toast, "Dear uncles and brothers, this cup is my tribute to you all, please take good care of us in the future."

Having said that, he tilted his head back and drained the cup in one gulp.

Yan Bo put it this way, and the brothers who came to toast afterwards didn’t feel right to force Elder Tong to drink anymore, while Yan Bo, taking Elder Tong’s place, drank cup after cup. Even with his high alcohol tolerance, by the end, he was completely drunk.

During this time, Tong Xiaohua tried to stop him several times, and even indicated that she could drink on behalf of her father.

But how could Yan Bo bear to let her drink?
