Chapter 198: Chapter 198 Tang Qingwu’s Attitude

In Chen Fan’s room.

Chen Fan collected the Soft Bone Pills that Zhou Buwen and the other two had returned.

Tang Wenxuan looked at Chen Fan with a full face of apologetic expression, "Mr. Chen, I’m truly sorry about this incident. I have already arranged for Chuchu to go to the ancestral hall for reflection. If she doesn’t recognize her mistake this time, I will not let her out, and you don’t have to worry about her causing you any trouble in the future."

Chen Fan smiled, "I’m actually not angry with her this time. The Soft Bone Pill was made using the turtle shell you gave me, which was nearly zero cost to me, and yet she has helped me earn four billion. I should be thanking her instead."

Tang Wenxuan’s face was filled with embarrassment as he thought to himself that it was only his Tang Family that had suffered a loss, and after taking the loss, still had to put on a placating smile. What kind of bad karma is this!

He forced a cheerful expression, "Since Mr. Chen is not angry, then I’m relieved. I won’t disturb you any further; I’ll take my leave now."

Chen Fan nodded.

"It’s been a long time since I painted. Today I’ll paint a few pieces to elevate my state of mind and prepare for the breakthroughs to come."

Thinking this, he gathered paper, brush, and pigments, and began to paint.

...

After Tang Wenxuan left Chen Fan’s room, his face was filled with a deep sense of resentment.

"My Tang Family really has been terribly unlucky lately."

"And I don’t know whose genes that fool Chuchu inherited, alas."

At that moment, a servant came over, "Patriarch, Miss Qingwu has awakened."

Tang Wenxuan’s eyes brightened, and he quickly hurried to Tang Qingwu’s courtyard.

In the study.

Scented smoke curled gently in the air, and the fragrance of books was rich and intoxicating.

Tang Qingwu was dressed in a flowing teal dress, her long hair fluttering, her natural beauty and ethereal quality made her seem like a celestial being, untainted by the mire.

Because she had just woken up, her lips were still a bit pale, which together with her stunning appearance, inspired tenderness.

At that moment, she was standing in front of a long table, meticulously admiring an exceptionally exquisite landscape painting.

"Master Qingyun’s paintings are always so extraordinary. The vibrant and lively imagery contained within them is something that cannot be learned by others."

"I wonder when I will get a chance to meet Master Qingyun."

Tang Qingwu murmured to herself with her expression full of endless reverie.

Just then, Tang Wenxuan entered, scolding upon seeing Tang Qingwu examining the painting, "Qingwu, you have just woken up, and your body has not yet recovered. You should rest properly. What’s so good about these tattered paintings?"

Tang Qingwu replied indifferently, "Father, my body suddenly aged and now inexplicably has recovered, leaving my state of mind in utter chaos. Master Qingyun’s paintings possess an inexplicable power that can soothe my mind."

"Besides, these paintings are divine works in my heart. Master Qingyun is the person I admire most. If you call them tattered again, I will be angry."

Tang Wenxuan sighed helplessly, "Well, I can’t control your preferences. Don’t you want to know what has happened during the days of your coma?"

Tang Qingwu walked over to the chair and gracefully sat down, "Please tell me, Father."

Tang Wenxuan recounted the whole story.

After listening, Tang Qingwu was lost in thought for a moment, "My Tang Family has lost seventy percent of its assets, just like that?"

Tang Wenxuan sighed, "It’s all fate. If we hadn’t agreed, you might well have departed this world by now."

Tang Qingwu frowned, "The half that Chuchu personally promised can’t be criticized. Our Tang Family is open and honorable; we will give it willingly. But for him to take advantage and demand an additional twenty percent was somewhat excessive."

Tang Wenxuan said helplessly, "It’s all because that fool Chuchu angered Chen Fan. Your life was in his hands; we had no choice but to agree."

Tang Qingwu stood up, "Even so, a sincere apology and compensation would have been enough. Demanding more of the Tang Family’s assets in Jiangcheng was somewhat like asking too much."

"I’m going to confront him."

After saying that, she quickly walked out.

Upon seeing this, Tang Wenxuan gave it some thought and, instead of stopping her, followed her.

"Qingwu has been eloquent and logical since childhood; if she confronts Chen Fan, perhaps she can really win back some benefits for the Tang Family."

"Although Chen Fan is not someone to be trifled with, Qingwu has never been afraid of anyone. Just thinking about Chen Fan getting a dressing-down from Qingwu makes me feel incredibly satisfied."

Together, the two of them arrived at the courtyard where Chen Fan was staying.

Tang Qingwu walked up to the door and knocked politely.

"Come in."

Tang Qingwu pushed the door open and entered, to find Chen Fan painting, which caused her to pause slightly.

Tang Wenxuan followed, standing tall and proud; Qingwu’s presence gave him a significant boost of confidence.

Chen Fan stopped his brush and looked up at the two, "Is there something you need?"

Tang Wenxuan immediately opened his mouth, "Chen Fan, we have come to see you..."

Tang Qingwu cut him off directly, "Don’t speak!"

Tang Wenxuan’s expression froze as he looked toward his daughter, "Qingwu, you..."

But he saw Tang Qingwu’s eyes fixed intently on the half-painted picture in front of Chen Fan, her expression slightly excited.

She quickly walked over to Chen Fan’s side to take a closer look at the painting.

Chen Fan felt a fragrant breeze and couldn’t help but glance at Tang Qingwu’s profile.

Although Su Qingyan held an irreplaceable place in his heart, he had to admit that Tang Qingwu was on par with Su Qingyan, both in terms of appearance and temperament.

After looking at the painting for a long while, Tang Qingwu then turned, looked up at Chen Fan with a moved expression, and asked, "Are you... Master Qingyun?"

Chen Fan raised his eyebrows, "You’ve heard of me?"

Tang Qingwu’s heart was instantly swept by waves of shock; she had never imagined that she would meet her idol in such a way.

Thinking about how she was bare-faced and didn’t even wear anything nice, Tang Qingwu suddenly felt at a loss, and absentmindedly began touching her hair.

"I... I really like your paintings. There’s always an inexplicable vitality in them that has greatly inspired me."

Chen Fan smiled, "Thank you for the high praise, Miss Qingwu."

A blush crept onto Tang Qingwu’s face, completely forgetting her initial resolve.

Tang Wenxuan felt utterly confused, thinking to himself that Qingwu came to argue with Chen Fan, so why did they end up talking about paintings instead?

He coughed lightly twice to remind her, "Qingwu, don’t forget what we’re here for."

Chen Fan looked puzzled, "Is there something else you’re looking for me for?"

He originally thought Tang Qingwu came over because she knew he was Master Qingyun.

Tang Wenxuan immediately puffed out his chest and said assertively, "We’ve come to talk to you about demanding an additional twenty percent of the Tang Family’s business."

"Even though what Chuchu did was indeed wrong, but..."

Yet, he saw Tang Qingwu suddenly push him aside, turned her head towards Chen Fan, and said, "Don’t listen to my father’s nonsense. If you do something wrong, you should pay the price. Mr. Chen demanding an extra twenty percent of my family’s business is completely reasonable, there’s nothing wrong with that."

"That twenty percent... I am giving it to Mr. Chen willingly, from the Tang Family. We came here today to thank Mr. Chen for his generosity, for giving me another chance to live in this world!"
