Chapter 318: Chapter 318: The Old Bull Eats Tender Grass

Tang Jianzheng found it hard to accept this younger sister, his eyes were burning to the extreme.

The disdain in his gaze nearly made Tang Chuxia unable to keep up her act.

Not everyone could master the art of tea serving. Tang Chuxia chose to give up.

She had no choice but to ask out loud, "How significant is this person?"

Tang Chuxia was still awaiting an answer when the middle-aged leader walked in, just in time to hear their conversation. He directly stated, "Not just a significant person, a big one at that!"

After the middle-aged leader finished speaking, Tang Chuxia looked puzzled and turned to Tang Jianzheng.

Tang Jianzheng nodded.

Finally, Tang Chuxia understood why Third Brother was so anxious and even willing to take risks to get her married quickly.

"How old?"

That was the point of curiosity for Tang Chuxia.

The middle-aged leader laughed awkwardly, "Old enough to be my brother!"

Tang Chuxia exclaimed in surprise, "Like a daddy-kind-of husband!"

As soon as she said it, she saw Gu Beihuai’s face turn black. He waved his hands and said, "I’m just joking!"

But the middle-aged leader thought Tang Chuxia’s description was quite apt.

"Daddy-kind-of, that’s an interesting point. However, Xiao Tang might be a bit too hasty. There are advantages to marrying someone older, but this leader is indeed not suitable!"

The middle-aged leader joined in on the gossip. Tang Chuxia’s curiosity about who it was intensified.

She wasn’t against the idea of dating a younger man; she was just curious.

Gu Beihuai didn’t want her to keep asking, but he was curious too—who was thinking of being the old cow eating the tender grass?

The middle-aged leader obviously wasn’t going to reveal who it was, so Tang Jianzheng could only respond with a dark expression, uttering a name.

Naturally, Tang Chuxia felt nothing; she wasn’t very familiar with significant figures, and those she knew well didn’t match up in this universe, as the leaders were all different people.

Tang Chuxia could only look towards Gu Beihuai.

Because she saw his face go particularly dark.

And without saying a word, he rushed outside. Tang Jianzheng’s loud shouts were of no use. He yelled at Tang Chuxia, "Quick, stop him, people could die!"

At that moment, Tang Chuxia was feeling very weak, clearly unable to stop anyone. The middle-aged leader, however, was very cooperative, sending his security guards after Gu Beihuai and having Peng Fei follow too. If anything seemed amiss, they were to tie Gu Beihuai up and bring him back.

"Are you serious? I initially just guessed a few people!" The middle-aged leader’s face was full of gossip. It seemed he didn’t know who it was either.

Tang Chuxia looked at Tang Jianzheng, "Third Brother, tell me about this man? What could make Gu Beihuai so angry?"

The middle-aged leader was a gossipmonger. Seeing that Tang Jianzheng’s expression was not good, he casually started to chat with her without paying attention to his status.

"I can understand why Xiao Gu would be angry. That kid had a quarrel with that old man!" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Tang Chuxia’s curiosity grew, and she even poured a glass of water for the middle-aged leader, too eager to be true.

The middle-aged leader sipped the tea and began to tell Tang Chuxia about this older leader.

The man came from a military background. Judging from Tang Jianzheng’s reaction, it seemed he had a very solid foundation, with no room for criticism.

"That old man is a real piece of work. In the early years, he rose through the ranks by recklessly risking his life, gaining his current status through military achievements. But there is one bad thing about him!"

The middle-aged leader was quite reflective.

Tang Chuxia grew more curious.

She couldn’t understand why such a troubled expression crossed the face of the middle-aged leader.

Tang Jianzheng reminded him, "Can you talk less and not bring him up?"

The middle-aged leader snorted coldly, "Who’s the leader here? Show some respect. Is there room for you to interrupt when the leader is speaking?"

Tang Jianzheng: ...

You sure are having a good time now.

Madam Tang and Father Tang, who had already arrived, stood at the doorway of the hospital room, their faces an ashen hue. They didn’t go in, afraid they’d miss their chance to eavesdrop on the gossip if they did.

Tang Chuxia was diligently massaging the middle-aged leader’s back. "Leader, don’t stoop to my brother’s level. Just tell me what’s going on!"

The middle-aged leader was quite pleased with Tang Chuxia’s attentiveness—who wouldn’t appreciate a good-looking and sensible young lady?

"Xiao Tang sure knows how to behave!"

After praising her, the middle-aged leader continued speaking about that old geezer.

"That old rascal is a real brute. He was lustful in his youth, but military rules kept him in check so he never did anything too outlandish. However, due to his really indescribable looks, nobody except his assigned partner wanted to marry him!"

Tang Chuxia was shocked. How ugly must one be to have a partner assigned to them?

Seeing Tang Chuxia’s disbelief, the middle-aged leader chuckled, pulled a photo out of his pocket, and handed it to her.

"That’s the old geezer in the middle!"

Tang Chuxia saw that there were only five people in the photo, with the person in the middle being easy to identify because he was short, awkward, and ugly!

There was no such thing as beautifying filters for photos in those days; what you looked like was what was captured.

"Not too bad, at least all his facial features are in the right place!"

Tang Chuxia gave a fair assessment.

The middle-aged leader gave Tang Chuxia a thumbs-up. She could actually accept that?

"I can see our Xiao Tang is truly an angel!" The middle-aged leader said, noticing that Tang Jianzheng’s face was looking even worse. He quickly tried to smooth things over, "Hey, don’t be so upset, I’ll continue!"

Pointing to the old geezer in the photo, the middle-aged leader said, "This guy is really capable. He’s got a knack for leading troops in battle, but he’s illiterate. Back in the day, making him take culture classes was practically killing him, to the point where he almost turned the leader’s office upside down!"

Despite the reminiscing, one could tell that the middle-aged leader genuinely respected that old geezer.

At least in terms of capability.

"He’s such a brute, really rough around the edges. In his youth, his wife was assigned to him, but sadly, she wasn’t fortunate. She died giving birth, but at least she left him a son!"

Tang Chuxia uttered an "oh," thinking that for such a lecherous man, no woman would marry him then!

"Over the years, that guy, I don’t know whether it’s luck or sheer ability, but he kept rising through the ranks until he reached a position that no one could easily control him. Then he completely let loose, going through one female secretary after another."

Tang Chuxia was exasperated.

"Fortunately, that kid retired from the military; otherwise, I would definitely fight him to the end!"

The middle-aged leader expressed his stance through gritted teeth, while Tang Chuxia curiously asked, "If he’s so capable and not lacking in women, why set his sights on me?"

That was the point of Tang Chuxia’s curiosity.

It didn’t seem like he was desperately in need of her.

Her question made both the middle-aged leader and Tang Jianzheng’s expressions turn strange.

Tang Chuxia couldn’t get an answer, growing even more curious.

She urged them to hurry up and speak. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

But the middle-aged leader and Tang Jianzheng didn’t know how to explain, and at this moment, the door to the hospital room was pushed open and someone walked in.

"I can answer that question! Because the answers they know are wrong!"

The person came up to Tang Chuxia, looked her up and down, and clicked his tongue, "She really is quite small!"
