Chapter 1092: Chapter 1092
Once upon a time, every family competed fiercely, even willing to sacrifice the qualifications for winning the Great Tournament just to take over the position of Deputy Director of the Ming Group. Now it has become a disastrous role that every family seeks to avoid, which is truly ironic.
Afterward, the three of them, Wan Changfa included, left the hospital together and went to find a place to eat, drink, and have fun.
The next morning, Long Ao drove early to the Su Family to pick up Tang Ming.
Under the repeated warnings from Old Su and Su Tianyu, Tang Ming got into Long Ao’s car, secretly vowing to himself that no matter what happened today, he wouldn’t fall for any tricks.
If he encounters another "injury ploy," he’ll just watch them hack each other to death.
"Brother Tang, these past few days..."
Long Ao greeted Tang Ming while starting the car.
"Brother Long, let me ask you first, do you have a sister?"
Tang Ming interrupted Long Ao with a wary expression on his face.
Long Ao was slightly stunned, completely confused by Tang Ming’s question.
"I mean, do you have a sister?"
Tang Ming irritably asked again.
"I really don’t have one."
Long Ao shook his head helplessly, looking at Tang Ming with a strange expression.
Rumor has it that Tang Ming has become Lin Xue’s fiancé these past two days and has also taken in Wu Xiaoyu. Now he’s asking if I have a sister. Could he want to stir up the Long Family too?
Tang Ming exhaled a long breath,
"These past few days, I’ve almost been driven crazy by women."
Long Ao gave a strange smile, thinking that this guy is likely the one driving many women crazy, right?
Of course, Long Ao couldn’t voice these thoughts, and continued chatting idly with Tang Ming on their way to the Long Family.
When Tang Ming arrived at the Long Family restaurant, he only saw Long Aiyu and a robust, majestic old man in a black training uniform, and he was thoroughly relieved.
There were no women accompanying; it seems that this is the most proper invitation from the Long Family yet.
"Little Tang finally arrived."
Long Aiyu stood up, enthusiastically introducing: "This is my father Long Zhan. Father, this is the renowned Tang Xin, known as the first young one in the Imperial City, and the Ming Group Leader."
"Good, good, surely a hero emerges from youth, quite the talent."
Master Long laughed heartily, sitting comfortably in his chair, beckoning to Tang Ming: "I hear little Tang is fond of food; please take a seat. Our Long Family has specially prepared a palace feast for you."
"Thank you, elder, for your hospitality. I think it will certainly be the most comfortable meal I’ve had these past few days."
Tang Ming, not standing on ceremony, paid his respects to Master Long and directly took his seat.
Without any chaotic events, this meal at the Long Family should be more enjoyable than those at the Lin and Wu Families.
"Long Ao, quickly call Long Qin."
After Tang Ming was seated, Long Aiyu looked toward Long Ao with dissatisfaction:
"The guest is here, yet she’s still not out to meet; where are her manners?"
Long Ao nodded repeatedly and hurriedly left the restaurant.
Tang Ming was slightly surprised; he had heard that Long Ao had a very impressive brother, but couldn’t recall his name. Could it be Long Qin?
Having confirmed that Long Ao didn’t have a sister, Tang Ming didn’t think much of it.
While exchanging pleasantries with Master Long and Long Aiyu, he waited for the so-called palace feast to be served.
As one delicious dish after another was brought up, a peculiar aroma wafted in from outside.
"Hmm, what kind of dish is this?"
With his nose always attuned to the scent of cuisine, Tang Ming exclaimed with curiosity. It was a subtle fragrance, refreshing and comforting upon inhalation.
At that moment, Long Ao walked in holding the hand of a breathtakingly beautiful woman in a white cheongsam.
This woman’s hair was pinned up, her facial features exquisite, and the white cheongsam accentuated her classical beauty, making her look like an immortal stepped out of a painting.
Seeing this woman, Tang Ming wasn’t stunned by her appearance or demeanor, but rather jumped in shock.
Why did a woman suddenly appear?
Moreover, showing up here — is the Long Family planning to offer him a beauty?
"Long Qin, why just arrive now? It’s so disrespectful; hurry and greet Group Leader Tang."
Long Aiyu immediately looked displeased at Long Qin.
"Is he really Tang Xin?"
Long Qin examined Tang Ming intently, her eyes flashing with strong disdain and scorn:
"In just two days, you’ve gathered Lin Xue and Wu Xiaoyu, adding your original Su Xiaoxi, you truly are quite the playboy."
"Hehe, well, it’s alright."
Tang Ming smiled awkwardly, thinking how to prevent this woman from becoming the fourth.
"Long Qin, don’t be disrespectful."
Long Aiyu’s face darkened at Long Qin’s sarcastic words.
"Don’t cause trouble; he’s our honored guest at the Long Family."
Long Ao quickly whispered his plea:
"If you truly upset Grandpa and Father, they definitely won’t let you off lightly."
Seeing her family so attentive to Tang Ming, Long Qin let out a cold snort and sat silently in her chair.
"Brother, please forgive us."
Long Ao sat beside Tang Ming, looking embarrassed.
"Big brother, didn’t you say you didn’t have a sister?"
Tang Ming hummed through the corner of his mouth, inquiring quietly.
"I really don’t have a sister."
Long Ao looked at Tang Ming, puzzled.
Tang Ming glanced at Long Qin and glared at Long Ao.
"That’s my sister Long Qin, she’s truly not my sister."
Long Ao looked helplessly at Tang Ming; this isn’t him lying, it’s Tang Ming’s question being flawed.
"You’re really messing with me."
Tang Ming rolled his eyes, but upon thinking further, realized it was his own lack of clarity in asking, so he couldn’t blame Long Ao.
But seeing the Long Family actually have Long Qin appear, he knew they’d definitely use a "Beauty Trap" like the Lin and Wu Families.
"Come, come, let me introduce."
Long Aiyu slowly stood up, warmly introducing: "Group Leader Tang, this is my daughter Long Qin. Daughter, this is the now-famous Tang Xin, the Group Leader of the Dark Group’s Martial Arts Inspection Team."
"Haha, you young folks should definitely make time to exchange frequently."
Master Long promptly chimed in.
"Haha, pleasure to meet you."
Tang Ming politely smiled, greeting Long Qin. Hearing Master Long’s words, it was apparent he wanted to match him with Long Qin — this was quite troublesome.
"So he’s just the Group Leader of the Dark Group Martial Arts Inspection Team, nothing special."
Long Qin sneered disdainfully, "His rank isn’t even higher than my brother’s, yet he dares to show off."
Hearing this, Tang Ming was stunned; when did he boast?
He came frankly to attend the Long Family banquet; he hadn’t provoked this woman at all, so how’s that showing off?
"Long Qin, don’t be disrespectful."
Master Long’s face turned cold.
"I was just speaking the truth."
Long Qin confidently snorted.
"Group Leader Tang, please don’t mind. My daughter has been spoiled by me."
Long Aiyu felt embarrassed as he introduced to Tang Ming, "But my daughter is truly outstanding; at twenty-five years old, she’s already a martial master at the peak of six-star. Moreover, she’s well-read, gentle and virtuous, and mainly, she’s beautiful with a great figure..."
