Chapter 333: Chapter 0333: So That’s How It Is

Perhaps because he did not receive the corresponding reward for providing information, the shifty-eyed man muttered discontentedly and walked away.

In the room, a young man sat in front of the sofa, his gaze falling on the distant Snow Mountain outside the window, "A new love? Hah, I’d like to see, which blind man dares to touch the woman I like!"

Having said that, the man stood up elegantly, paying no attention to the dried blood on his hand, and walked out.

However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Tang Xin coming out of the room opposite, with a smile on her face he had never seen before, one she had never shown to him.

The door closed the moment he stepped out, so he didn’t get to see who was inside.

"Xiao Jingsheng? What are you doing here?" Tang Xin did not expect to encounter Xiao Jingsheng here, and an instant aversion rose within her, her smile fading the moment she saw him.

Seeing her reaction, Xiao Jingsheng grew even more displeased inside, "Tang Xin, of course, I am here to celebrate grandpa’s birthday."

Tang Xin scoffed, "Celebrate his birthday? If so, why don’t you go to the hall? What are you doing in this guest room?"

Xiao Jingsheng managed to maintain a smile on his otherwise handsome face, but the smile hid a touch of coldness. He was determined to see, what kind of man had caught Tang Xin’s eye!

With that thought, his gaze shifted to the door behind Tang Xin, "Of course, I came to find you. How come you’re coming out of this room? Is there someone inside?"

As he reached out to open the door, Tang Xin immediately stood in front of him, "Xiao Jingsheng! There are important guests of the Tang Family inside!"

Xiao Jingsheng was clearly skeptical, but Tang Xin wasn’t in the mood for further discussion and directly said: "I’m going to find grandpa. Aren’t you here to wish him happy birthday? Then come with me."

Seizing the opportunity to spend more time with Tang Xin, Xiao Jingsheng happily agreed. After all, he could meet that pretty boy once the banquet started, so he wasn’t in a rush.

With that thought, Xiao Jingsheng followed Tang Xin to a luxurious lounge.

The door to the lounge was open, with bursts of laughter coming from inside.

As Tang Xin approached the entrance, she heard a voice that annoyed her, "Ah, Mr. Tang, your granddaughter Tang Xin is twenty-two this year, right? It’s pointless for a girl to study too much; better just to marry her into a good family."

"Oh, Xinxin, Xinxin is graduating from university next year. It’s too early to talk about marriage. I, for one, hope to see her stay by my side for a few more years while I’m still alive."

Tang Xin stopped in her tracks, turned back, and glared at Xiao Jingsheng, coldly huffing, "Neither you nor your mother have good intentions!"

That’s right, the person suggesting she marry someone was Xiao Jingsheng’s mother, Honda Sakura, who was Japanese.

Tang Xin walked in with a slightly displeased face, and as Honda Sakura spotted her and then saw her precious son following behind Tang Xin, her smile blossomed. She said to Tang Haowan, "Look at these two kids, how well-matched they are."

Following her words, the chatter in the room lowered, and everyone turned their attention toward the entrance.

Tang Xin glanced unhappily at Honda Sakura, then put on a sweet smile and walked towards Tang Haowan, "Grandpa, happy birthday."

"Good, good child," Tang Haowan smiled fondly at Tang Xin, his eyes brimming with indulgence, "By the way, has Mr. Chu arrived yet?"

Tang Xin had told Tang Haowan about the incident with Shen Family’s young master at the casino and how she connected with the Nangong Family through Chu Ge. She also broadly mentioned how she took the initiative to invite Mr. Chu as a distinguished guest of the Tang Family.

Tang Haowan had never seen his precious granddaughter praise any man so highly before, and he was particularly curious about this young man, eager to see what he looked like.

Tang Xin nodded with a smile, "He’s here. I just came to ask for grandpa’s permission. If grandpa nods, I’ll bring them all over."

"Them?" While Tang Haowan was slightly uncertain, he had a guess. Previously, Tang Xin had told him that the Nangong Family would also attend his party; could it really be Nangong Yunhai, the young master of the Nangong Family?

"Who else is there?"

Tang Xin let out a mischievous laugh, opened her mouth to speak but before she could, Xiao Jingsheng behind her blurted out, "And Shen Family’s young master, Shen Congwen. Tang Xin, you are being foolish. Knowing well the Tang Family and the Shen Family have been at odds for years, why did you still bring Shen Congwen here?"

As expected, upon hearing the word "Shen Family," Tang Haowan’s expression darkened instantly, showing a flicker of displeasure.

Tang Xin stood up abruptly, glaring back at Xiao Jingsheng, "I don’t need you to meddle in my business! Whether there’s enmity with our Tang Family or not, today is grandpa’s birthday, and all guests are welcome."

Tang Haowan’s expression softened slightly, and he gently nodded, "That’s true. Since they’re here, treat them as guests. Go and bring them over."

Tang Xin shot Xiao Jingsheng a piercing look, then went out to invite Chu Ge.

Right after Tang Xin left, Nangong Man Sha asked for a red envelope from the hotel room service staff. Today’s situation was special, so each staff member carried several red envelopes ready to facilitate guests.

Nangong Man Sha pulled out a stack of cash from her purse, not bothering to count, and stuffed it generously into the red envelope.

Upon seeing this, Chu Ge clicked his tongue and shook his head, "Miss Man Sha, that’s not quite how you demonstrate your wealth."

"What do you mean?" Nangong Man Sha looked up at Chu Ge with confusion.

"This amount of money must be quite a bit, right?"

Nangong Man Sha chuckled lightly, "What, is Mr. Chu feeling sorry for my money? To think that Mr. Chu could feel pity for money."

What a strange occurrence indeed.

Chu Ge pursed his lips, then spoke somberly, "I’m not feeling sorry for the money, I just think the amount you’re giving is rather inauspicious."

"What amount?" Nangong Man Sha was surprised. She had not counted how much money there was; could he take one look and tell?

"Fourteen thousand, four hundred and forty-four," Chu Ge said, shaking his head. "It’s not very auspicious to give someone a red envelope with the message ’die, die, die, die’ at their birthday banquet."

Nangong Man Sha didn’t believe it, so she took out the money and counted it, one bill at a time. Indeed, it was fourteen thousand, four hundred and forty-four.

"How did you figure that out?" Nangong Man Sha still didn’t believe he had that ability.

"I calculated it."

Chu Ge casually said, "I saw Miss Man Sha’s receipt earlier. You withdrew twenty thousand and spent five thousand five hundred and fifty-six, so I figured you had fourteen thousand four hundred and forty-four left."

So that was it!
