Chapter 355: Chapter 355: No One Comes to the Temple of the Three Treasures Without a Cause
"A few days ago, when they heard that my illness had been cured, their family sent someone over immediately to propose remarrying me. What is this nonsense! They want to remarry whenever they wish and dissolve the marriage whenever they fancy! Besides, it’s them I find unworthy now! Of course, we couldn’t agree to this!"
"So our family immediately refused them and even kicked out the person they sent. But who would’ve thought, just because of that, they started to make trouble for our family!"
Tan Yunjing said indignantly.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei’s eyes suddenly narrowed: "It can’t be that simple, right? I think their intentions must be more complex!"
Tan Yunjing nodded vigorously after hearing Xiao Yifei’s words: "Exactly! Afterward, using that as an excuse, they began to attack our family’s antique business. We didn’t take them seriously at first, but unexpectedly their business has grown significantly without our noticing, and before we knew it, we suffered a major loss!"
Tan Yunjing was obviously very angry, continuing savagely: "That’s why our family has been so busy with this matter lately. We even called back our aunt to help!"
Hearing Tan Yunjing speak this way, Xiao Yifei’s eyes lightly squinted. It seemed the president of Yanjing Medical University from their family, Tan Lan, must indeed be very capable, as the entire family needed his help during such a difficult time.
Xiao Yifei walked alongside Tan Yunjing, listening to her complaints whispered in his ear: "Who would’ve thought their family was truly prepared, not only targeting our family matters but also coveting our shareholder industries!"
When Xiao Yifei heard Tan Yunjing say this, he squinted his eyes slightly. Considering the situation she’d just described to him, and having seen Tan Zhenting’s reaction when he left, Xiao Yifei knew this wasn’t a simple matter. But it was especially after hearing what Tan Yunjing had just said that Xiao Yifei gained a new understanding of the whole situation. The Cao Family was indeed harboring nefarious intentions.
"Yesterday they came with a Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain, claiming this piece sold from our auction house as a Yuan blue and white was a fake, demanding a public apology from us. We are completely certain it’s genuine, yet they insisted it’s a counterfeit!"
A look of outrage was all over the exquisite face of Tan Yunjing as she continued: "Unexpectedly, after we had just sent them away yesterday, they have come back again today. I don’t know what they really want or what trouble they’re looking for!"
Upon hearing Tan Yunjing’s words, Xiao Yifei let out a light laugh. This commotion was certainly something he was interested in witnessing for himself, to see what the situation was really like.
Following Tan Yunjing through the beautifully groomed paths of the courtyard, the two finally reached the Tan Family’s front gate. There, next to a jade eyeless giant dragon carving, Xiao Yifei saw Tan Zhenting with a furious expression, along with Hong Fan standing beside him.
Opposite them stood three figures, among them an elderly man with a wispy goat beard and a demeanor resembling an immortal Taoist, looking quite distinguished. Next to the old man was a middle-aged man, pallor without a beard, whose shifty eyes revealed his shrewdness. Beside the middle-aged man stood a short, stocky fat man, who, despite his unimpressive looks and Maitreya Buddha-like grin, exhibited regal movements like a dragon or tiger in his actions, with his temples bulging prominently, suggesting he was not to be taken lightly, holding in his grasp a black lacquered large box.
Upon witnessing this scene, a look of urgency crossed Tan Yunjing’s eyes as she picked up her pace and hurried toward the spot with the eyeless jade dragon carving, and Xiao Yifei, seeing this, quickly followed.
"Dad! Why have they come again? Didn’t they just visit yesterday? Why hasn’t this trouble ceased yet!"
Before even reaching Tan Zhenting’s side, Tan Yunjing was already speaking angrily, and as she spoke, she glared furiously at the three people opposite Tan Zhenting: "Haven’t we already made it clear, our Tan Family doesn’t welcome you here!"
Tan Zhenting heard Tan Yunjing’s words, turned his head, furrowed his brows, and looked at Tan Yunjing, "Yunjing, why did you come here? Didn’t I just tell Mr. Xiao to let you take him for a tour around our house? What are you doing here! I can handle the situation here! It’s Mr. Xiao’s first visit to our house, and it’s not good for him to see these things!"
After speaking to Tan Yunjing, Tan Zhenting turned his head back and said to Xiao Yifei with some embarrassment, "I am truly sorry, Mr. Xiao. It is your first visit today and you had to witness this unpleasant situation. I am very sorry for that!"
Then Tan Zhenting immediately turned his head towards Tan Yunjing and said, "Yunjing, quickly take Mr. Xiao for a walk in our courtyard. I will come find you after I’ve dealt with things here!"
Tan Yunjing, stamping her jade-like foot and filled with resentment, said, "Dad! Every time the Cao Family comes to stir up trouble for no reason, you tell me to leave. I won’t go! They keep making unreasonable disturbances, treating my engagement as a joke. Why should I leave? I won’t go!"
Tan Zhenting heard Tan Yunjing’s words, his face tensed up for a moment, and then he looked at Tan Yunjing and sighed heavily. He didn’t say anything more but turned around and gave a respectful gesture to Xiao Yifei, "Mr. Xiao, sorry for the lack of hospitality. Please bear with us!"
Xiao Yifei smiled faintly and waved his hand.
"No problem, no problem. You discuss your matters; I will just take a look around on the side, it won’t be intrusive."
After speaking, Xiao Yifei turned around and walked over to the eyeless Giant Dragon statue. He really had an inexplicable feeling for this lifelike jade dragon statue.
Just as Xiao Yifei had turned around, a shrewd middle-aged man from the Cao Family’s entourage glanced at Xiao Yifei’s back, a glint of sharpness flashing through his eyes without a trace.
"Haha! Yunjing, look at you, you can’t wrong Uncle Cao like this. Wasn’t it because you thought our Cao Rui wasn’t a good match for you when you were younger? That’s why we called off the engagement, waiting until now when Cao Rui has returned from studying abroad, feeling that he is now worthy of you, resulting in the decision to restore the engagement!"
With a smile on his face, Cao Heming continued speaking to Tan Yunjing, "So I’m saying, Yunjing, don’t harbor such resentment. If you are unwilling, you are unwilling. The Cao Family has not forced you to do anything."
Tan Yunjing snorted coldly, turned her head away, and stopped looking at Cao Heming.
Seeing this scene, Cao Heming’s eyes flickered briefly, and then he continued with a smile, "Yunjing, I can understand your resentment, but what we’re talking about today is not the engagement. It’s that something about this object of your family is indeed problematic!"
At that moment, Tan Zhenting stepped forward towards Cao Heming and said, "Yesterday, you came to our house aggressively, claiming that the item sold from our auction was a fake, demanding that we issue a public apology. However, the auctioned item has not yet been delivered to the buyer. How did you determine that this Yuan Dynasty blue-and-white porcelain is a fake!"
Tan Zhenting looked at Cao Heming, whose behavior was like that of a smiling tiger, and his brow furrowed. He was not in the least courteous. The repeated provocations from the Cao Family had made Tan Zhenting quite impatient, so he spoke directly without any pleasantries.
Cao Heming was slightly startled by Tan Zhenting’s blunt approach, seemingly not expecting Tan Zhenting to be so straightforward.
