Chapter 279 - 252: Mother’s Disappointment
The Tang Family’s Old Master and Mr. Tang appeared at this time before so many wealthy men.
They had come out earlier to courteously entertain these rich gentlemen, but later had to retire to the study due to some matters.
They left the hosting responsibilities to other family heads within the clan; naturally, some of these were relatives of the Tang Family, as well as Old Master Tang’s illegitimate sons or brothers born out of wedlock.
The Tang Family, such a large clan, usually presented a unified front, seemingly cohesive, but in reality, there were those who privately harbored jealousy and competed for interests.
As long as it didn’t go too far, the Family Head would turn a blind eye.
When the father and son appeared, one might have thought they had not arrived and that the banquet had yet to begin, but it turned out there was a minor issue on the women’s side.
Many female guests had gone to the eldest grandson’s courtyard, as today was his birthday celebration. Could it be that he and his friends were so merry they had lost track of time?
Mr. Tang and his father shared similar thoughts; although his eldest son was quite mature, he was still of a child’s age. Meeting so many playmates today and having fun was understandable—it’s a phase everyone goes through.
