Chapter 795: Chapter 0795: Su Family Tribunal

After the banquet ended, Tang Ming found an excuse to return to the hotel, planning to have a meal with Liu Tianji and took the three women back to Songlan City. This place of contention was not safe to linger in, even for a minute longer.

Chen Cang and Liu Tianji arranged over the phone to have a meal together in the afternoon. The main purpose was to give Liu Tianji an opportunity to express his gratitude to Tang Ming.

Regarding Liu Tianji’s invitation, Tang Ming did not object. He never refused someone offering to treat him to a meal, plus Liu Tianji would be Chen Cang’s subordinate in the future, and as the ’big brother’s big brother,’ it seemed only proper to meet him.

In the Su Family’s villa hall, after the banquet ended, Grandpa Su and Su Tianyu called Su Xiaoxi back home, setting up an atmosphere of a serious family inquisition.

Although Tang Ming had acted perfectly, Wu Xiaoyu’s appearance had still aroused Grandpa Su’s suspicions about his identity, despite Tang Ming’s stance of having admitted it only due to persistent questioning. However, based on Grandpa Su’s many years of experience and wisdom, he sensed that something was amiss.

"Girl, just tell us what is going on?"

Grandpa Su, sitting on the sofa, took a sip of tea and asked Su Xiaoxi calmly, who was sitting opposite him.

"What do you mean what’s going on?"

Su Xiaoxi pretended to be calm as she looked at Grandpa Su.

"Don’t play dumb. What exactly is the deal with Tang Xin and Tang Ming? Are they really the same person?"

Grandpa Su put down his teacup and asked with displeasure.

"This... Haven’t you seen what happened?"

Su Xiaoxi, trying to keep her cool, began to beat around the bush.

"Girl, don’t beat around the bush."

Su Tianyu spoke languidly, pressing on, "I’ve investigated your recent financial status. Ever since you came to the provincial city, large sums of money have been transferred out of your account before every appearance of Tang Xin, and each transfer was related to Tang Ming’s account. What’s particularly suspicious is that you’ve even transferred money to Xin Badao and Chu Batian. What’s the meaning of this?"

"You’ve investigated me?"

Su Xiaoxi’s expression changed slightly, looking incredulously at her father and grandfather.

"When it comes to your lifelong matters, can we afford to be careless?"

Grandpa Su slightly lifted his head and spoke with a frown, "Stop hiding it. Whatever it is, just say it. When have your dad and I ever forced you?"

"Alright."

Su Xiaoxi sighed resignedly, realizing there was no point in hiding the truth any longer.

Then, Su Xiaoxi confessed that Tang Xin was, in fact, Tang Ming. She had hired him to act as a shield, initially just to put an end to Sun Zhuangjia’s harassment; she hadn’t expected things to escalate so dramatically to the point they had.

"Tang Xin is actually Tang Ming? This is just too incredible."

Even with Grandpa Su’s composure, he couldn’t help exclaiming after hearing the truth.

One person, who in an official capacity was a high-ranking member of the Dark Group, the Group Leader of the Martial Arts Inspection Team, and in the business world was the reclusive owner of Tangming Group, and the overlord of Songlan City, was actually just a high school student. Who would believe such a thing if it were told?

"I never expected him to have so many identities. At first, I even thought of recruiting him to the Su Family, but now it seems, he doesn’t give a second glance to the strength of our Su Family."

Su Xiaoxi sighed helplessly, still unable to comprehend how Tang Ming had become the Group Leader of the Martial Arts Inspection Team.

"It’s such a pity."

Old Master Su also sighed, "If only he really were your boyfriend, now Li Wenxuan from the Li family is benefiting for nothing. I guess it won’t take long before the Li family can secure its footing in the country."

Su Tianyu fell silent for a moment before suddenly looking up and asking Su Xiaoxi, "Xiaoxi, tell me the truth, how far have you and Tang Ming progressed? I’ve heard that you two meet often; has anything happened between you? Or is there any feeling involved?"

"No."

Su Xiaoxi decisively shook her head. As for Tang Ming, that annoying greedy person only thinks about scamming money and never thought about deceiving people.

As for feelings, that was even less likely. While she quite admired Tang Ming, he did not understand how to be tender towards women, which left her feeling angry whenever she thought about it.

"How can you two have absolutely no relationship?"

Su Tianyu was frustrated and insisted, "Tell me everything about how you two met, don’t leave out a single detail."

"Is that really necessary?"

Su Xiaoxi awkwardly rubbed her fingers together, recalling how she had been the one to initiate the conversation with Tang Ming, which was quite an embarrassing thing to admit.

"Xiaoxi, just tell us."

Old Master Su also spoke up softly, "With a character like Tang Ming willing to be your fake boyfriend, there must be some reason. You might think there are no feelings between you, but how he thinks about it might be a different matter."

"Him? He’s even less interested in me. The man has a girlfriend, and not just one at that."

Su Xiaoxi reluctantly pouted, convinced that the three women close to Tang Ming were all his girlfriends.

Although somewhat reluctant, Su Xiaoxi began to recount in detail how she and Tang Ming met, not omitting any other matter.

"That’s how it is. Initially, I just wanted him to be my shield to fend off that annoying pest, Sun Zhuangjia. But later, his appearance fee kept increasing, and in the end, I could only use our previous agreement to make him be my fake boyfriend for free one time."

After summarizing everything, Su Xiaoxi concluded with frustration that she had been swindled out of a lot of her private money by Tang Ming. Had she known it would be like this, she wouldn’t have sought him out in the first place.

"This is getting interesting."

Su Tianyu’s eyes flashed with excitement as he looked at Old Master Su, "Dad, I think we can really make something out of this."

"Mm-hmm, indeed, it’s very interesting."

Old Master Su nodded repeatedly, also seeing conditions that could be advantageous for the Su family.

"What are you guys talking about?"

Su Xiaoxi looked at the father and son duo who liked to beat around the bush with bewilderment.

"Haha, Xiaoxi, since Tang Ming has agreed to a contract of ninety-nine free hires as your boyfriend, your relationship with him can totally be developed further!"

Su Tianyu straightened his clothes and smiled at Su Xiaoxi.

"How can it be developed further? I’ve never thought about developing anything further with him."

Su Xiaoxi frowned deeply, as Tang Ming was a notorious playboy. Could it be that the old master really wanted her to be Tang Ming’s mistress?

"You don’t have to worry about that. You two have already agreed that he’s just pretending to be your boyfriend; if you don’t want to, no one can force you into doing anything."

Su Tianyu smiled, explaining, "What I mean is, since he has agreed to be your boyfriend ninety-nine times for free, you can fully utilize this opportunity. Once or twice might be fake, but if he keeps posing as your boyfriend every time, it will eventually seem real, at least to outsiders."
