Chapter 905: Chapter 0905: Take Her to Set Off Fireworks

All the prominent families in Songlan City now look up to Tang Ming, and since he has a close relationship with the Liu Family, one could count him as part of the Liu Family. By this logic, the Liu Family has indeed become the number one family in Songlan City.

No matter what Liu Gaoze thinks, with today’s display, the Liu Family is bound to be respected as the top family in Songlan City in the future, at least as long as Tang Ming remains in the city, and no one will dispute this matter.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Liu Gaoze felt overwhelmed and quickly said modestly, "Everyone, stop joking around. My Liu Family is just a business family, nowhere near qualifying as the number one family."

"Uncle Liu, no need to be modest. Since I am part of the Liu Family, the Liu Family is qualified to be the number one family." Tang Ming smiled, as Liu Gaoze had been good to him, and now that he had achieved success, it was time for the Liu Family to bask in some of his glory.

"Yes, yes, yes, Young Master Tang is part of the Liu Family, so the Liu Family is qualified to be the number one family. Everyone agrees, don’t they?"

Old Master Zhou was the first to chime in, and the others nodded in agreement.

"Okay then."

Liu Gaoze nodded shyly, becoming the head of the number one family in a muddled way. He knew all this was thanks to Tang Ming, and if Tang Ming could indeed marry Liu Mengting, it would be wonderful, but unfortunately...

Tang Ming then started chatting with Old Master Zhou and others, planning the development direction for the Tangming Group for the coming year.

Tang Ming didn’t attend the company’s year-end party, using this gathering instead as an impromptu board meeting, much to the delight of the family forces eager to curry favor with the Tangming Group.

While the elders were discussing business matters in the villa with Tang Ming, Li Xiaoli and Liu Mengting accompanied a group of wealthy youngsters to the entrance of the community to set off fireworks and firecrackers.

Because there were too many people, not everyone could go up to the roof to play, so they moved the household fireworks and firecrackers to the outside of the community to set them off.

Inside the community, setting off fireworks and firecrackers was prohibited to prevent fires.

As soon as they walked out of the community gate, Li Xiaoli eagerly had people set the fireworks and firecrackers on the one-way lane leading out because the road into the community was already blocked by luxury cars from the Liu Family villa all the way down to the gate.

Zhou Dafu and others quickly secured a pile of firecrackers on the road and then stepped aside to let Li Xiaoli light them.

Chen Cang and Liu Mengting kept their distance, having been through Li Xiaoli’s previous firecracker accident, fearing they might get accidentally hurt by her.

Li Xiaoli, blissfully unaware of her destructive potential, nervously approached the firecrackers with incense, ready to light them.

"Beep beep beep."

Just as Li Xiaoli was about to ignite the fuse, a sharp honking startled her, causing her to quickly step back.

A black Mercedes approached and stopped, with a young man’s head sticking out of the driver’s seat, "Hey, who told you to set off firecrackers here? You’re blocking the entrance, move aside quickly."

"Gosh, you scared me to death."

Li Xiaoli patted her chest to calm down, looking at the driver and calling out, "Sir, could you wait a bit? We’ve just managed to set everything up, and it’s freezing cold, it’d be a hassle to rearrange them. Let me finish, and then you can go, alright?"

"Huh?"

The young man eyed Li Xiaoli, noting her good looks and ample chest. Although annoyed, he nodded begrudgingly and said, "Hurry up and finish, we’re in a rush."

"Okay, okay."

Li Xiaoli nodded repeatedly, took a deep breath, and prepared to continue setting off the fireworks.

"Wu Liang, what’s going on?"

A low voice came from the car’s backseat, "Why did you stop at the gate? The family is waiting for dinner."

"Dad, a bunch of high schoolers are setting off fireworks at the entrance, blocking the road."

Without turning his head, Wu Liang explained, "I don’t know who was so inconsiderate to park a row of cars at the entrance, so we can only wait for them to finish setting off the fireworks and enter through the exit."

"Alright."

The person in the backseat fell silent.

Li Xiaoli was already nervous about setting off the fireworks, and having had the incident with Ling Shengtian, she was even more anxious now. Her hands shook as she fumbled, unable to ignite the firecrackers.

Seeing Li Xiaoli struggle on the ground with the fireworks, Wu Liang’s patience was running out.

Li Xiaoli gathered her courage, holding the incense with both hands, and was just about to light the firecrackers when...

"Beep beep beep."

Another round of honking startled Li Xiaoli, causing her to fall on her backside, with another failed attempt at setting off the fireworks.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Li Xiaoli’s predicament, Wu Liang couldn’t help but laugh, getting out of the car and tauntingly saying, "Little girl, with your guts, you dare to set off fireworks? Better pack up and stop blocking our way."

"Damn it, you’re so mean. I was about to succeed when you honked and scared me. I’m so angry."

Li Xiaoli got up, glaring at Wu Liang and shouting angrily.

"Oh my, the little girl is quite cute."

Seeing Li Xiaoli’s adorable stance, Wu Liang licked his lips while leering at her, "How about you skip the fireworks and let me take you to a hotel for a different kind of blast? You’d make a great firecracker stand."

"You, you’re shameless!"

Furious at his advances, Li Xiaoli pointed at the ground and shouted, "Look closely, this is the one-way road coming out from the community. You’re the one going against traffic, and you dare give me trouble. Do you think you can bully me so easily?"

"And what if I bully you?"

With a mischievous grin, Wu Liang approached Li Xiaoli, licking his lips, "It’s the first of the lunar new year, and I insist you come with me for a blast. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise, what do you want to do?"

Zhou Dafu and Ma Gangqiang instantly stood before Li Xiaoli, glaring coldly at Wu Liang.

"Heh, a bunch of little brats thinking they can play heroes?"

Wu Liang took one look at Zhou Dafu and the others, a group of seventeen or eighteen-year-old students, dismissing them entirely.

"Haha, who are you, talking so big?"

Zhou Dafu sneered, for in Songlan City, not many could act so arrogantly before him.

I am Wu Liang, heir of the Wu Family, one of Songlan City’s ’Five Small Business Families.’

Wu Liang proudly introduced himself with a smug face.

"Five Small Business Families?"

Zhou Dafu and the others were all stunned. It turned out he was from a minor family, someone daring to pose before them must have had a screw loose.

Seeing Zhou Dafu and the others in shock, Wu Liang felt smug, assuming he had intimidated them, and arrogantly proclaimed, "I fancy this busty beauty here. Today, I’m taking her for a blast. Those of you who know what’s good for you, scram. Otherwise..."
