Chapter 1085: Chapter 1085

"No, absolutely not!"

Tang Ming reacted immediately, waving his hand. Although he dismissed the idea of the Wu Family making Wu Xiaoyu his fiancée, he hadn’t expected the Wu Family elder to be so cunning, forcibly sending Wu Xiaoyu to him as a maid.

Elder Su’s face turned cold as he looked at Tang Ming in confusion.

"She is the eldest daughter of the Wu Family, how can she be made a maid? Besides, I’m not some young master who needs a maid at all."

Tang Ming anxiously explained.

"That doesn’t matter, as long as you guide Xiaoyu well in the future, our Wu Family won’t mind this relationship."

Wu Dao quickly assured with a smile.

"That still won’t do, I really don’t have the habit of having a maid, let alone a daughter of a wealthy family, it’s simply a joke."

Tang Ming shook his head furiously.

The Wu Family elder sighed, looking dejected, and said, "It seems that Leader Tang still refuses to forgive Xiaoyu. In that case, someone, take Wu Xiaoyu out and execute her by shooting."

Everyone was dumbfounded upon hearing this, not expecting the Wu Family elder to be so ruthless, even willing to put his own granddaughter to death.

"Leader Tang is a great supporter of our Dark Group faction, without Leader Tang’s help, our Dark Group faction might still be suppressed by the Ming Group faction, never to rise again."

The Wu Family elder closed his eyes in pain, gritting his teeth as he said, "What Xiaoyu did before was too excessive. If Leader Tang doesn’t forgive her, she can only repay this with her life. Someone, take her out and shoot her immediately, and then go to the Hao Family to arrest Hao Jian and execute him on the spot."

The next second, several armed experts burst into the room, surrounding Wu Xiaoyu.

Wu Dao and Wu Xiaoyu both exclaimed in shock.

"What are you standing around for? Take her out and execute her immediately."

The Wu Family elder ignored Wu Dao’s gaze, shouting unyieldingly.

The strong men did not dare to hesitate any longer, immediately grabbing Wu Xiaoyu and pushing her out.

"Dad, save me, I know I was wrong, I’ll never do it again."

Seeing that the elder was not joking, Wu Xiaoyu screamed in terror.

"Father, please reconsider."

Wu Dao fell to his knees before the Wu Family elder, crying out, "She’s my only daughter, if you kill her, what will I do?"

"One cannot live with their own misdeeds."

Elder Su shook his head in pain, lifting his hand slightly, "Take her away and execute her."

"No, no, no, I’ll take her, I’ll take her."

After observing for a while, Tang Ming quickly got up, pushing the strong men aside, "I’ll accept her as my maid, is that alright?"

"Leader Tang, you are willing to forgive Xiaoyu?"

The Wu Family elder opened his eyes, looking at Tang Ming with gratitude.

"I forgive her, in fact, it wasn’t a big deal; conflicts often lead to understanding. Although she was wrong, her crime isn’t deserving of death."

Tang Ming helplessly glanced at Wu Xiaoyu, originally thinking that the Wu Family elder was acting, but didn’t expect him to be serious.

Although he didn’t have any good feelings towards Wu Xiaoyu, being executed like that was too much of a grievance.

"Since that’s the case, Wu Xiaoyu, why don’t you quickly thank Leader Tang for his magnanimity? Otherwise, I will kill you, this unworthy descendant who tarnishes the Wu Family’s reputation."

Elder Su glared fiercely at Wu Xiaoyu, reminding her harshly.

"Thank you, thank you, Leader Tang, for your forgiveness, I’ll never dare again in the future."

Wu Xiaoyu was really terrified, continuously thanking Tang Ming. If she had known earlier, she would rather die than stand up for Hao Jian, almost getting herself killed.

Tang Ming sighed helplessly, feeling like he had been tricked again.

After such an incident, Tang Ming couldn’t stay any longer, so he found an excuse to leave.

Before leaving, the Wu Family elder didn’t forget to remind Tang Ming to notify the Wu Family once he settled down, so they could send Wu Xiaoyu over to serve him.

When he reached the front gate, before the Wu Family could arrange for someone to send Tang Ming back, a military green jeep pulled up in front of him.

Zhou Xiong got out of the car, greeting the Wu Family elder and Wu Dao before looking at Tang Ming:

"Leader Tang, I was entrusted by someone to pick you up specifically."

"Someone can actually entrust you with something?"

Tang Ming was slightly surprised. Zhou Xiong was the deputy director of the Dark Group; aside from a few family heads from the Dark Group faction, who else could persuade him?

"Get in the car first, you’ll find out when we get there."

Zhou Xiong smiled faintly, keeping the suspense.

Tang Ming glanced at the oppressive atmosphere among the Wu Family members and quickly got into the car, deciding to leave the Wu Family for now.

Always maintaining a poker face, Elder Su smiled immediately after Tang Ming left:

"My dear granddaughter, you were wronged this time."

Tearful Wu Xiaoyu looked at Elder Su in confusion, wondering what was happening now after Elder Su had threatened to kill her earlier.

"Father, were you acting just now?"

Wu Dao realized it, asking uncertainly.

"Nonsense, of course I was acting. How could I bear to kill my precious granddaughter?"

The Wu Family elder gave Wu Dao a sidelong glance, holding Wu Xiaoyu’s hand, "For the Wu Family’s benefit, Xiaoyu was wronged this time. I knew Tang Xin wouldn’t let me kill Xiaoyu for his sake."

"Grandfather, you... hmm hmm hmm."

Hearing this, Wu Xiaoyu couldn’t hold back anymore and burst into tears; she was truly terrified just now.

"My dear father, your acting was too convincing; even I believed it."

Wu Dao rolled his eyes speechlessly. At that moment, he really thought the elder was going to kill Wu Xiaoyu to apologize to Tang Xin, which was terrifying.

"Am I that kind of person?"

The Wu Family elder glared at Wu Dao, taking Wu Xiaoyu’s hand as they walked into the manor,

"Tang Xin is obviously on guard, purposefully bad-mouthing my granddaughter so he won’t have a chance to be betrothed to her. In that case, if I don’t change my strategy, how can I tie him to the Wu Family?"

"Yes, yes, now Xiaoyu has become Tang Xin’s maid, which means she is his woman. This seems more stable than a so-called fiancé, as an engaged couple isn’t a real couple, whereas a maid is a genuine relationship."

Wu Dao nodded repeatedly, having to admire the elder’s high wisdom once again!

"Less nonsense, I’ll comfort Xiaoyu well, you immediately have someone draft a statement, announcing to the public that Xiaoyu is now Tang Xin’s personal maid, and is already his."

The Wu Family elder ordered without looking back.

"Such a thing announced publicly might affect our Wu Family’s reputation."

Wu Dao worriedly reminded him.

"Is reputation more important, or family interests? Sending a maid is far more decent than the Lin Family sending Lin Xue to be Tang Xin’s concubine."

The Wu Family elder glared at Wu Dao before admonishing him sternly.
