Turnaround Life: The Rebirth Elegy of the Wealthy Wife
Chapter 35 Engagement
The engagement party between the Tang and Zhang families was held three days after the press conference. Because the Zhang family had indeed emptied their family assets to purchase the paintings from the Tang family, and because of Master Hashimoto's request, Tang Wenwan needed to go to Japan with him to study as soon as possible, so the ceremony was not as grand as everyone imagined. It was just an internal private banquet held at the Tang family, just to fulfill the agreement between the two families in a low-key manner.
"Mr. Tang, after these two children get married, Xincheng will be considered half of your Tang family. Can you let him accompany Wenwan to Japan?"
On such a happy day, Zhang Mingxuan did not look happy at all. All his uneasiness was clearly visible on his face. His words sounded like negotiations, but anyone could hear the awkwardness and frustration in his heart.
"No, we don't welcome strangers in our temple." Without waiting for Tang Yongdao to answer, Hashimoto Yuki, who came to the engagement party with Hashimoto Kosuke, directly refused.
This girl had a face full of naivety and pampered manner, but Master Hashimoto, who treated her as a distinguished guest, was still very tolerant towards her.
"We are only taking Sister Shenxian back with us. If we weren't waiting for your engagement party, we would all be in the temple now."
Hashimoto Yuki was sitting next to Tang Wenwan, with half of her body leaning on Tang Wenwan, who was wearing her engagement dress today. It was also the Taoist robe that was so white that it seemed hollow, which made Tang Wenwan's already plain dress look even more joyless.
"Sister, I'm telling you, you can't take him with you. It will ruin your practice." Rolling her eyes at Zhang Xincheng who was separated from her, the little girl raised her voice deliberately with a possessive tone to remind her.
This time when I went down the mountain with my master, I fell in love with this fairy sister Hashimoto Xue at first sight, especially when Tang Wenwan took her to her studio to see her works, she admired her with a worshipful attitude.
The little elf who has been practicing Taoism with his master in the mountains since he was a child is not familiar with worldly affairs, but he has a keen sense of emotions like a psychic.
Although no one told her, she just knew that her sister was not genuinely happy about this marriage, so she wanted to protect her fairy sister, even if she had to play the bad guy.
If Zhang Mingxuan had not witnessed with his own eyes at the press conference how Hashimoto Yuki could break the curse on a painting with just one golden seal, he would have lost his temper on the spot. However, looking at his son's pale face, he endured it again and again and was about to say a few more words when he heard Hashimoto Kosuke, who had been silent, speak.
"Mr. Zhang, your family's involvement in the Tang family's disaster is a righteous act, but it is also a result of karma. Now that you have entered the vortex, you must be prepared to face the consequences in the next three years. During this period, it will be more beneficial for you and your son to be by your side."
Zhang Mingxuan's scalp tingled after hearing the master's words. He exchanged nervous glances with Zhang Xincheng. The feeling of being in a dilemma was beating louder and louder in his heart.
He had originally wanted to let his son stay with Tang Wenwan, find an opportunity to confirm their relationship, and then persuade the girl to secretly sell a few paintings in the name of the Tang family to slow down the cash flow. However, with the interference of the master and apprentice, there was no difference between whether the marriage was settled or not, and it did not solve the urgent dilemma facing the Zhang family at all.
“This~~~But, this~~~~” Zhang Mingxuan’s head and tongue were tied up in a knot, and his face turned green as if a thousand flies were stuffed in his mouth.
"Calm down, Uncle Zhang. Didn't the Zhang family rise to prominence by buying at the bottom? This time, not only the Japanese, but also the Tang family have been tied up by you. You should be happy. Why do you look so unhappy?"
Although the atmosphere of the engagement party was not very harmonious, Jiang Kaichen was the only one who had a cold face from beginning to end.
Fearing that he might do something naughty, Mr. Zhu originally didn't intend to bring him today. But who would have thought that this kid would come uninvited and wait for him at the gate of the Tang family early in the morning.
"What does it have to do with you? It's someone's wedding day, don't make trouble here!"
Zhu Huaishan pulled his grandson behind him and scolded him, then looked at Tang Yongdao's face, and the indescribable expression became even more intense.
He had not wanted to watch the fun in the first place, knowing that old man Tang Yongdao had made another bad move this time, he was privately quite angry at him for not fighting back. However, the Zhang family was, after all, the evil that had emerged from under Zhu Huaishan's hands. He could not sit still and watch the Tang family being controlled by them again.
"You~~you~~ah~~~~" Although he called him grandson, he couldn't help but pointed at his old friend with trembling fingers, not knowing where to start.
This was what the confused old man was like back then. He panicked as soon as something happened. Before public opinion could react, he took advantage of the moment when he had just taken the dispute with the Japanese to the International Court of Justice and had several of his works secretly copied by this guy named Zhang.
Zhang Mingxuan made his fortune by using such dirty tricks and left the Zhu family to start his own business. By the time Zhu Huaishan came out of prison, the Tang family's paintings had been almost sold like cheap goods by Zhang Mingxuan in the secondary market.
Fortunately, those top collectors have had friendships with the Tang and Zhu families for generations. They know that the Tang and Zhu families will not let the real good things come to the market casually, so they just treat the Zhang family as a joke and let him fool those laymen who have never seen the world.
But even so, the faces of both the Tang and Zhu families were slapped. It was also because of this incident that Zhu Huaishan was so angry that he ignored Tang Yongdao for many years. Outsiders thought that the old man was angry about taking the blame for the Tang family. Only Tang Yongdao knew that Zhu Huaishan was angry that he could not keep his temper, was stupid and did things without consulting him.
"I~~~they~~~~this child really likes our Wen Wan."
Tang Yongdao discovered these two days that his granddaughter didn't like Zhang Xincheng as much as he imagined. He realized that he seemed to have done something stupid again. The past weighed heavily on his mind, and he no longer had the same attitude towards the Zhang family as he had towards his allies when he was in a panic.
He turned his head to look at Zhang Xincheng, whose eyes had never left Tang Wenwan, and could only play the emotional card. This child was specially placed with Tang Wenwan to be raised since she was a child after the Zhang family became powerful. It was also known to everyone that he liked his granddaughter.
"I can't drag your Zhu family into this time..." He looked back at Zhu Huaishan with a complicated expression, and murmured almost silently, as if he was explaining something, or as if he was convincing himself.
"Tang Wenwan, I really like you. No matter what happens to the Tang family, I will marry you."
Before the adults could figure out who was right and who was wrong, Zhang Xincheng's low but firm voice blew everyone back to the engagement party like a spring breeze.
Tang Wenwan's dual soul was still caught up in the reconsideration of the disputes between several families, and her face blushed reflexively after hearing this sudden confession.
She knew that Zhang Xincheng's love for her was an obsession. No matter what means he used later, it was not a sin to like her.
She blinked and was about to say "thank you" to him, but the little pink bubble that had just risen in the air was punctured by Jiang Kaichen's murderous question.
"Do you, the Zhang family, deserve this? What gives you the right?!"
Before Tang Wenwan could roll her eyes, she saw Jiang Kaichen take a step forward and stand in front of Zhang Xincheng. His tall body completely blocked the surging emotions between him and Tang Wenwan. He stretched out his big hand and grabbed the front of his clothes like a chicken.
