Chapter 91
Tan Xiao shook his head, "Hard to say. After all, the contact was too brief; I am not grandpa or dad. I’m good at doing business, but when it comes to understanding people, I really can’t see clearly. Forget it, let’s not talk about this. I heard Old Mr. Tang’s asthma has flared up again. I prepared some stuff for him. Just now, my mom told me someone from the Tang Family came to deliver a message. The day after tomorrow is Old Tang’s 70th birthday. Grandpa is going too; it’s your future wife’s home, don’t be nervous."
"Bullshit future wife!"
Huh? Tan Xiao was a bit surprised, this younger brother of hers, although fond of dancing with knives and wielding staff, rarely swears.
"Sister, if I say I truly like Tang Su, would you believe me?"
"I believe you."
"Of course you believe. What about mom and dad? Grandpa? The Tan Family’s eldest aunt, second aunt, third aunt, fourth mother, and the five brothers-in-law? The interests of the family are always put first; grandpa told me this when I was five. I didn’t understand it at the time. When I did understand, I found it particularly disgusting, feeling it deprived me of my human rights. Once I stopped feeling disgusted, I had joined the Min Alliance, following the path laid out by my family."
"What are you trying to say?"
"It’s just a transaction, I’m not a kid anymore, I see things clearly. In the Tan family’s younger generation, a few are involved in politics; I’m one, my second uncle is another, that’s it. The rest either join the military or go into business. "Win the life before death, secure a reputation for after death," this sort of common sense is known by everyone. How could I fail to see? It’s nothing but leaving myself a way out. The Tang family has a rising political star, climbing up would require the help of our Tan Family; it’s a mutual need, truly marvelous!"
