The City’s Strongest Son-in-law -
Chapter 41 - 41 41 Plan Revealed
41: Chapter 41: Plan Revealed 41: Chapter 41: Plan Revealed “Are you not planning to tell me?
Or are you really involved with Liu Hu?” the Old Madam shouted.
Tang Qiulu felt a sudden jolt in her heart; if the Old Madam misunderstood this, she would be unable to explain herself even if she had a mouthful of words.
With no other options, Tang Qiulu started recounting the events of the previous day.
However, when she said Su Changfeng handled the matter, no one really believed it, and Tang Xiangdong wore a cold smile.
“Tang Qiulu, do you think everyone is an idiot?
Using that coward as your shield, do you think anyone would believe that?”
The Old Madam also didn’t believe it, but at that moment, someone kicked open the door of the meeting room!
Two men entered the meeting room, one was Feng Bin, and the other was wearing a hood, making it impossible to recognize who he was.
Although the Tang Family wasn’t a major noble family in Hai City, they would never allow anyone to cause trouble within the group.
He said coldly, “Who are you, to dare come and cause trouble for the Tang Family?”
Feng Bin glanced at Tang Qiulu and said, “Old Madam, my name is Feng Bin.
You must know who I am, right?”
Feng Bin!
Everyone present suddenly became uneasy.
This person was a significant figure in Hai City, someone the Tang Family couldn’t afford to provoke.
But why would he come to the Tang Family to cause trouble?
“Oh, it’s Brother Bin, what brings you here?
Is there some business you need?” The Old Madam’s tone changed abruptly and she respectfully called him Brother Bin.
The hierarchy wasn’t determined by age but by position.
Although the Old Madam held great power within the Tang Family, she understood well that Feng Bin didn’t see her as significant.
“I helped the Tang Family resolve an issue and came over to get some money out of it,” Feng Bin laughed.
“If you indeed helped us handle a problem, I definitely wouldn’t let Brother Bin leave empty-handed,” the Old Madam knew that such people were difficult to deal with, always with excuses to ask for money.
Furthermore, since Feng Bin came personally, the Tang Family would have no choice but to pay.
“Old Madam, this time, you’ll definitely give it willingly,” Feng Bin said, then immediately pulled off the hood from the person beside him.
When Tang Xiangdong saw who it was, his face turned exceedingly pale.
It was Liu Hu?
Why was he in Feng Bin’s hands?
Feng Bin kicked Liu Hu and said coldly, “What did you do?
Quickly tell the Old Madam.”
Liu Hu was riddled with wounds, having been ‘served’ particularly harshly yesterday, and after being beaten a few more times, he flinched at the sight of Feng Bin.
He quickly spoke, “Old Madam, the whole affair was orchestrated by Tang Xiangdong.”
“You’re spewing nonsense!” Tang Xiangdong stood up instantly, angrily pointing at Liu Hu, “Stop smearing my name!
I don’t even know you!”
Liu Hu raised his head, ominously glaring at Tang Xiangdong.
If it weren’t for this bastard, he wouldn’t be in this predicament.
Although he was unsure why Feng Bin wasn’t afraid of his backers, ever since the incident yesterday, those behind him hadn’t come forward, implying he might have been abandoned.
The only way to survive now was to heed Feng Bin’s instructions.
“Tang Xiangdong, stop denying this!
If it weren’t for you, why would I cause trouble for the Tang Family?
Got nothing better to do?” Liu Hu said.
Tang Xiangdong was utterly panicked; if the Old Madam found out, his future would be ruined.
Forget about being the chairman of the Tang Family; he’d be lucky to not be kicked out of the family!
He originally planned to expel Tang Qiulu from the family, but now it seemed he might be the one to be kicked out!
“Tang Qiulu, did you orchestrate all of this?
Did you get Liu Hu to frame me?!” Tang Xiangdong pointed at Tang Qiulu with anger in his eyes.
Tang Qiulu responded coldly, “Liu Hu was someone you connected me to previously.
Do you think I could possibly command him?
Tang Xiangdong, are you still unwilling to admit what you’ve done?”
“Grandma, don’t listen to her; this has nothing to do with me, I know nothing about it.” Faced with the situation, Tang Xiangdong approached the Old Madam, pretending to be extremely wronged.
Now the Old Madam’s expression was exceptionally grim.
She knew Liu Hu wouldn’t defame Tang Xiangdong for no reason since Tang Qiulu had investigated the matter discreetly, yet why did Tang Xiangdong know about it and even facilitate the connection?
She initially thought perhaps Tang Xiangdong was merely lucky, but she hadn’t expected that Liu Hu was brought in by him!
“This man even asked me to get involved with Tang Qiulu and spread it around in Hai City, intending to embarrass the Tang Family and remove Tang Qiulu,” Liu Hu continued to confess.
These words drained all color from Tang Xiangdong’s face.
He never imagined in his wildest dreams that such a perfect plan would be thwarted by Feng Bin, but how did Tang Qiulu know Feng Bin?
The members of the Tang Family understood that now that Tang Xiangdong’s plan was exposed, the Old Madam certainly wouldn’t treat him lightly.
If they sided with Tang Xiangdong now, it would be suicidal.
“Donglin, why did you do this?
This really wasn’t right!
“Why would you do this when Qiulu is part of the Tang Family?”
“I trusted you so much back then, yet you actually plotted against the Tang Family?”
Tang Siwen’s expression was also a bit pale because she was aware of the matter from the start.
Although she hadn’t participated, failing to report it was still a mistake.
If Grandma were to blame her, her future would be bleak.
“Grandma, I had no idea about this and it has nothing to do with me!” Tang Siwen explained to the Old Madam.
“Mom, maybe Donglin was just confused momentarily, don’t blame him too harshly.
I’ll warn him later,” Tang Zhenbang didn’t want to see Tang Xiangdong losing power within the company.
While no one in the Tang Family dared speak for Tang Xiangdong, he felt compelled to do so.
The Old Madam hesitated; the matter had grown beyond control.
How could it be resolved?
If she didn’t offer Tang Qiulu an explanation, she’d be showing blatant favoritism, but she couldn’t kick Tang Xiangdong out of the family either.
Despite Tang Qiulu bringing substantial benefits to the Tang Family, in the Old Madam’s eyes, Tang Qiulu still didn’t measure up to Tang Xiangdong, being the sole heir to the Tang Family.
“Brother Bin, this is an internal matter of the Tang Family.
I’m sincerely grateful for your intervention.
Let me know what you want,” the Old Madam said to Feng Bin.
