Chapter 359: Chapter 0359: Admitting Personally

Chu Ge was enjoying the liveliness from the sidelines, completely unaware that he had already been marked by the two old men.

Mr. Tang Haowan had investigated and found out that Nangong Man Sha and Chu Ge were not boyfriend and girlfriend. He knew that it was impossible for his two grandsons to marry Nangong Man Sha, but he could still marry Tang Xin to Chu Ge.

Though the young man looked overly mysterious, thankfully, he was strong both in background and ability. If they could establish a close relationship with him, their family’s future would be boundless.

Mr. Tang Haowan looked at Chu Ge with a smile and inquired, "Mr. Chu, you just saved my life again, and I know that you and Miss Man Sha aren’t really involved. So, I would like to ask, do you have any marriage arrangements?"

Mr. Tang Haowan felt uneasy in his heart, hoping that Chu Ge wasn’t promised to anyone. Tang Xin marrying him would be a perfect match, but if he was already betrothed, he didn’t want to mistreat his precious granddaughter, leaving his heart in extreme conflict.

He looked at Shen Wei Qian, who clearly also had his sights on Chu Ge. If Chu Ge was taken by this old geezer, the Tang Family’s status might very well be shaken.

Shen Wei Qian also understood Mr. Tang Haowan’s thinking and now felt the same sense of crisis. After a series of selections, he had his eyes set on the daughter of his cousin’s niece. He remembered that girl was already twenty years old, having just returned from abroad, and extraordinarily vivacious, whom he had just met a few days ago.

Seeing Mr. Tang Haowan speaking up, Shen Wei Qian also chimed in, unwilling to show weakness, "Yes, does Mr. Chu have any marriage plans?"

Mr. Tang Haowan gave him a glare, his eyes fierce as if to say he asked first.

Shen Wei Qian was completely unfazed by Mr. Tang Haowan’s glare, all smiles as he looked at Chu Ge, waiting for his response.

Chu Ge, suddenly finding the spotlight on him, was somewhat taken aback, failing to understand what was happening. He simply nodded, saying, "Actually, I already have a fiancée in Shanghai."

His words made both Mr. Tang Haowan and Shen Wei Qian reveal looks of disappointment. They glanced at each other, but no one spoke first.

The air was suddenly filled with an awkward atmosphere.

Chu Ge, unaware of what was going on, thought the two had failed to reach an agreement. He cleared his throat and said, "Although I don’t know what has caused the rift between you two, from the current situation, it would be mutually beneficial for both families to put aside your weapons and work together."

Mr. Tang Haowan and Shen Wei Qian looked at each other again and continued to remain silent.

Chu Ge knew he shouldn’t pry into these matters, but seeing Shen Wei Qian and Mr. Tang Haowan failing to get to the point, he became anxious watching them.

"This assassination attempt, you’ve seen it. People are coveting your positions in Su City and want to quickly dispose of you."

Mr. Tang Haowan snorted coldly, "If you want to cooperate with our Tang Family, it’s not impossible. A profit split with thirty percent for us, then I agree."

Before Chu Ge could speak, Shen Wei Qian was the first to disagree. He huffed angrily and glared at Mr. Tang Haowan, "Mr. Tang Haowan, wishful thinking! You were the one who suggested the cooperation first. Why should the split be thirty percent?"

Mr. Tang Haowan also fired back, "I suggested it first? It was clearly you who brought it up! Shen Wei Qian, a man of your age still engaging in such sly deeds!"

Shen Wei Qian suddenly stood up, pointing at Mr. Tang Haowan with an air of indignation, "Mr. Tang Haowan! Clarify yourself! When have I ever done anything sly!"

"Have you forgotten what happened thirty years ago? You forgot, but I haven’t!" Mr. Tang Haowan said in a muffled voice, his chest heaving unevenly as if recalling something infuriating, "Since you’ve forgotten, let me remind you. Thirty years ago, we had agreed to visit Sword Pavilion together to seek knowledge, but in the end, you backed out and even helped my enemy against me! These lame legs of mine, it’s all because of you!"

Shen Wei Qian scoffed disdainfully, "Mr. Tang Haowan, there’s no outsider here, so you needn’t try to pin such groundless accusations on me! It was wrong of me to renege on my commitment to seek knowledge, but I never conspired with your enemies! As for you, believing rumors about me, you’ve started to suppress me at every turn!"

Back in the day, he had felt deeply guilty for breaking his promise, and he had thought about clearing things up with Mr. Tang Haowan. However, for some inexplicable reason, Mr. Tang Haowan suddenly announced that the Tang Family and the Shen Family were at odds.

He had thought that Mr. Tang Haowan was acting impulsively and had tried to make amends more than once, only to be turned away each time or not even see him at all.

Later on, he found out that Mr. Tang Haowan’s legs became crippled due to his enemies seeking vengeance, and they couldn’t escape in time.

At that time, he had wanted to visit and check up on him, but he was met with cold shoulders every time. Later on, the Tang Family indeed began targeting the Shen Family in business, and that’s when Shen Wei Qian realized Mr. Tang Haowan was serious.

Shen Wei Qian, a man of pride, no longer felt any brotherly affection for Mr. Tang Haowan, and their grudges grew deeper and harder to resolve, reaching a point of no return.

Even three-year-olds in the alleys of Su City knew about the discord between the Tang Family and the Shen Family.

Mr. Tang Haowan said in a mocking tone, "It wasn’t you? The assailants personally confessed! Said you instructed them!"

Shen Wei Qian laughed in anger, "You claim I directed your enemy to kill you? Why would I want to kill you? What’s the motive? Besides, your enemy already had a grudge against you; there’s no need for me to pay extra to have you killed, right?"

Shen Wei Qian suddenly felt Mr. Tang Haowan’s intelligence quotient wasn’t even comparable to an elementary schooler’s, "We had no grievances; why would I want to kill you? Do you even have a brain?"

Being manipulated for thirty years without realizing it! What an utter fool!

Mr. Tang Haowan still didn’t believe it. He was firmly convinced that it was Shen Wei Qian who had instructed it back then. If not, his thirty years of childish grudge wouldn’t make any sense.

Chu Ge quietly watched them, gradually piecing together the meaning behind their words.

It was clear there was a misunderstanding between the two.

Chu Ge asked in confusion, "Old Master Tang, why were you so sure that Mr. Shen was the one who instructed the murder attempt on you?"

"Because they personally confessed!"

"Perhaps their confession wasn’t true. What if they deliberately framed you?"

Chu Ge slowly spoke, "Mr. Shen mentioned just now that you, Old Master Tang, have been listening to others’ slander all these years. Do you know who that person might be?"
