Want to Spar?

66: Chapter 66: Jealous of Brother?

Want to Spar?

The birthday star wept till he became a tearful figure.

If it hadn’t been for Tang Pingde’s lack of stance, Wu Jie might have already been beaten up.

However…

Wu Jie was feeling so good inside!

Come on!

Hate me!

Everyone present was either a high-ranking official or rich young master, all crazily hating on me!

However…

After wiping away his tears, Tang Pingde stood up straight.

“I really like this gift!

Especially like it!”

Boom!

As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Jie was dumbfounded.

What the heck!

Old man, you can’t do this!

Everyone is hating on me right now!

With what you just said…

wait a second!

Ding!

[System: Harvested 400 envy from Tang Kun]

Ding!

[System: Harvested 10,000 envy from Tang Long]

…

Tang Pingde’s words of praise suddenly turned many people’s hate into jealousy and envy.

The effect has greatly diminished!

Tang Pingde seemed to be defending Wu Jie, but unknowingly, he ‘hurt’ Wu Jie as well.

In minutes, I lost tens of thousands of energy points!

But, let’s stop while we’re ahead!

“As long as the elder likes it!

There is also an electronic version in this USB drive, in case flipping through the album is inconvenient, you can view it on the computer!”

Wu Jie handed over the USB drive with both hands, respectful.

Tang Pingde didn’t take the USB drive, but grabbed Wu Jie’s hand instead.

“This is a very nice gift, much more valuable than any gold, silver, or jewels, much more to my liking!”

Saying this, Tang Pingde shouted to his second son, Tang Yong, “What are you dawdling for?

Move over quickly!”

Tang Yong was startled, somewhat amazed, but he hurriedly moved aside.

However, Tang Yong glanced at his daughter Tang Xin with a look that could only be described as frustrated disappointment.

Why can’t Wu Jie be so excellent?

Although an album of pictures isn’t worth much money, it’s the thought that counts!

Why couldn’t Tang Xin think of such an idea, to cater to his tastes?

The old man was very excited.

Under everyone’s envious, jealous, and hateful gaze, he affectionately took Wu Jie’s hand and discussed some of the pictures in the album with him.

“…The battle was so intense then!

The barrels of the guns turned red hot, and without water what could we do?

We could only pee on them to cool them down!”

“This high ground truly is a heartbreaking ridge!

It took maiming three companies just to take it, and the top of the mountain was shaved off by several meters…”

“This ambush was beautifully executed, a perfect enveloping and outflanking maneuver, completely wiping out the enemy with minimal casualties…”

…

With emotion in his voice, he spoke fervently.

At that moment, Tang Pingde seemed to have returned to the battlefield.

One moment raising his rifle to aim, the next throwing a grenade and ducking for cover, then gesturing the enemy and friendly positions…

Old and young, both deeply engrossed.

It was as if, in all the world, only they existed.

As for the others, who dared to interrupt?

Tang Xiao was stunned!

She never expected that Wu Jie could win the old man’s favor with just a war album!

Tang Long, Tang Xin, Tang Kun, and many other grandchildren were all dumbfounded.

If you don’t listen, you’ll never know; once you listen, you’re thoroughly startled.

Although everyone knew that the old man had been in many wars, they never knew he had experienced so many life and death dangers.

At this moment, Wu Jie was also fully engaged, filled with respect.

As for who envied, was jealous or hated him, and how many energy points that added…

none of it mattered anymore.

Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.

Without the previous generation’s bloody battles, where would today’s peace and stability come from?

But…

Tang Pingde, too excited, had people serve the dishes, eating and drinking while reminiscing about the wars.

After a long chat with Wu Jie, only when the private doctor reminded him did he finally stop his cup.

“Comfortable!”

“So comfortable!

It’s been a long time since I’ve spoken my mind so freely!”

“Jie, you really brought me a huge surprise today!

I can tell that you greatly admire the military spirit as well!”

Tang Pingde, his face aglow, asked with a laugh.

Wu Jie quickly replied:

“To be honest with you, my dad was an artilleryman.

Growing up around it, I’ve always had great respect for soldiers!”

“Really?”

Tang Pingde exclaimed with delight, “Then why didn’t you join the military?

Which unit did your dad serve in?”

“He was in the 149th, stationed on the western front, and didn’t see much action as it was later in the rotations.

I’m the only son in my family, and no one from our village had gone to college, so I was ordered to study and get into university, to bring honor to the family!”

Tang Pingde stroked his beard and smiled:

“They say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!

Even though you haven’t served, I see you’re in good shape, and your martial arts isn’t bad, is it?”

“That’s for sure!”

Tang Xin muttered under her breath.

But she immediately realized that she shouldn’t let slip.

“For cousin to take notice of him, he must be good!”

Tang Pingde chuckled:

“Xin’er, what do you think, who’s better, Jie or Kun?”

With this question, everyone’s eyes turned to Tang Kun in unison.

The handsome Tang Kun, far from shy, immediately stood up.

He was tall, at 185cm, a good-looking guy with long legs.

Most importantly, being born into a military martial family, Tang Kun had undergone strict training from a young age.

Had it not been for a past fight that seriously injured someone and caused too much trouble, he would have joined the military long ago.

“Elder, I’m very keen to exchange a few moves with cousin-in-law!”

Tang Kun bowed with a smile, but his eyes looking at Wu Jie were filled with teasing.

At that moment, the atmosphere heated up.

Because Wu Jie had brought gifts that pleased the old man.

Those who harbored jealousy towards Wu Jie now all wanted to see him make a fool of himself.

Only Tang Xin glanced coldly at Tang Kun and cursed silently, “Act dumb, get nothing!”

Tang Xiao looked calm, unsurprised, and not worried.

As for Wu Jie, he was in an awkward spot.

How to compete?

If he won, it would be a loss of face for Tang Kun and the Tang Family People.

If he lost, well, where would my face be then?

Don’t even talk about a draw!

With someone like Tang Kun, so proud and arrogant, he wouldn’t rest until there was a clear victor.

“Elder, today is your birthday celebration…”

Tang Pingde raised his hand to silence him:

“Our Tang Family isn’t bogged down by trivial formalities or etiquette.”

“If you truly have trained, then spar with Kun.

It will be like a martial demonstration to entertain everyone after dinner!”

With those words, it was like being pushed onto a stage.

Tang Long, looking serious, spoke up:

“I’ve heard Xiao say that you can even beat her.

After the Tianyuan Flower Water Bay project was withdrawn, we wanted to assign you to the special force, but you said being a security guard was pretty good.

Since you’re capable and the old man wants to see you in action, why not show us a thing or two?”

Wu Jie’s identity had long ceased to be a secret.

After Tang Xiao posted a photo in her circle of friends last night, background information about Wu Jie spread quickly among the Tang Family People.

Everyone knew that Wu Jie was a security guard and that he had sparred with Tang Xiao before.

However, nobody looked down on Wu Jie’s ordinary background or humble job, showing the good upbringing of a great family.

But now…

Everyone was looking forward to a match between Tang Kun and Wu Jie.

And there it was, before Wu Jie even agreed, people were already moving tables and chairs aside to make room.

Are we seriously going to fight?

Wu Jie turned his head to look at Tang Xiao.

“Elder, since it’s a sparring session, shouldn’t there be something at stake?” Tang Xiao suddenly asked with a smile.

Tang Pingde stroked his beard and laughed:

“Something at stake?

That’s easy.

Whoever wins can take whatever they want from my pile of birthday gifts!”

Tang Kun said, “Elder, how could that be right?

Those are your gifts from the younger generations.

If you ask me, let’s bet on cars!

I’ve been coveting cousin’s Mercedes G-Class for a long time!”

“Really?

I’ve never driven a Porsche Cayenne before!

Let’s bet on that then!”

Tang Xiao turned to Wu Jie with a charming smile:

“Don’t overthink it, just give him a good thrashing!”
