Chapter 360: Chapter 0360: Full of Vigor and Vitality

Shen Wei Qian curled his lips, speaking in a meaningful tone, "Who else could it be? That Japanese woman from the Xiao Family!"

A Japanese woman? Honda Sakura?

Chu Ge frowned slightly, thinking of the murder attempt today, he felt a strong conviction in his heart that someone had deliberately wanted the two to be at odds.

After all, as early as thirty years ago, the Tang Family and the Shen Family had already established themselves in Su City, taking up their own place in the world.

"At that time, Honda Sakura had not yet married into the Xiao Family, she was still a beautiful young girl like a blooming flower, so charming. Every time someone saw Honda Sakura’s eyes, they’d nearly pop out!"

Shen Wei Qian recalled how utterly enchanted Tang Haowan had been by Honda Sakura back then, feeling as if Tang Haowan had never seen a woman in his life! And yet fate played its hand – Honda Sakura never had the slightest interest in Tang Haowan! One day, out of the blue, she married one of Tang Haowan’s business partners, who is now the Xiao Family Master, Xiao Li.

Tang Haowan’s face turned slightly red; Honda Sakura was the shame of his life. Initially, this woman had approached him intentionally under the name Fang Xiaocui. He had completely failed to detect that she was a Japanese woman. Afterward, he slowly realized that he was merely a pawn to this woman. He was even more furious when she married Xiao Li, which led him to sever ties with her.

It was only in recent years, as the businesses between the Tang and Xiao families interacted more, that he had started speaking to Honda Sakura again.

Perhaps Honda Sakura never expected that he, Tang Haowan, could secure half of Su City for himself. She frequently showed goodwill towards him, clearly intending for her son to marry Tang Xin! Humph, that would never happen in this lifetime!

Chu Ge was surprised in his heart, realizing there was such a story behind it all.

But during Tang Haowan’s birthday banquet, he didn’t seem to sense any lingering feelings from Honda Sakura towards Tang Haowan? However, he did feel that Honda Sakura was simply ambitious.

Considering the assassination attempt today, Chu Ge was certain it was a conspiracy; a conspiracy thirty years in the making.

"Tang Haowan, you didn’t see that coming, did you? Almost getting killed by that woman today, don’t you feel like you were particularly blind back then, particularly weak?" Shen Wei Qian relentlessly continued his mockery of Tang Haowan.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he wanted to vent all of the resentment that had been suppressed in his heart for thirty years!

"Tang Haowan, think about all you’ve done to me, to our Shen Family over these years, do you think you’ve been fair to me? Yes! I did break a promise, but I told you the reasons, and I’ve tried to visit more than once, but what was the result?"

Tang Haowan’s lips parted as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he could not speak.

Perhaps Shen Wei Qian had too much pent-up anger in his heart, and once he started speaking, he went on for an hour.

During that hour, Tang Haowan remained silent. Having lived for most of his life, he had seen many things clearly, and he realized that this had been a trap set by Honda Sakura.

Tang Haowan’s hand, resting on his thigh, silently clenched. This score, he would thoroughly settle with Honda Sakura.

Perhaps exhausted from speaking, Shen Wei Qian stopped to take a large gulp of water and then deeply exhaled.

He had never felt so exhilaratingly unburdened before; the sensation of total liberation flowing through him made him feel exceptionally refreshed.

"Tang Haowan, after all you’ve said, you haven’t uttered a word. Are you feeling guilty and reproaching yourself?" Shen Wei Qian couldn’t help but say, "Don’t worry, I won’t be as petty as you. If our two families cooperate, it’ll be a 40-60 split, you take 40, I take 60. The extra share will serve as compensation from you, Tang Haowan, to me, Shen Wei Qian!"

After Shen Wei Qian finished speaking, he sat there leisurely, waiting for Tang Haowan’s answer.

But Tang Haowan kept silent, bowing his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Shen Wei Qian thought Tang Haowan was unwilling, and with a light snort, he said, "This is the biggest concession I can offer. If you agree, then all past grudges between our families will be wiped clean. If not, the Shen Family isn’t afraid of the Tang Family. At worst, we’ll fight to the bitter end."

Chu Ge sat silently on the side, listening. After all, he was an outsider, especially since these two were entangled in a grudge from thirty years ago, he couldn’t make a clear decision.

Moreover, both individuals had a knot in their hearts, and even if they were forced to work together, they wouldn’t do so wholeheartedly.

When it comes to interests, few people can make a fair judgment.

There was a brief pause in the air, both Shen Wei Qian’s and Chu Ge’s gazes fell on Tang Haowan.

Shen Wei Qian was waiting for his answer, while Chu Ge wanted to see how he would respond.

Someone who had risen to the position of Tang Haowan wouldn’t be oblivious to right and wrong as Shen Wei Qian described; even if he didn’t understand it at the time, he would realize it afterwards. But now that Tang Haowan was silent, even Chu Ge couldn’t guess what was going on in his mind.

After a while, Tang Haowan slowly raised his head. The biggest mistake of his life was listening to that woman’s slander and fighting with the Shen Family for thirty years, resulting in a mutually detrimental outcome, and he even nearly lost his life.

How did that saying go? The enemy of my enemy is my friend, so could it be possible for him to regard Shen Wei Qian, who now had a common enemy, as a temporary ally?

Tang Haowan hesitated for a moment, then slowly began to speak, "I accept your terms, but the split remains seventy to thirty, you take seventy, I take thirty. Consider it reparation for my actions towards you over the years."

Shen Wei Qian didn’t quite catch what he was saying at first, only hearing bits about ’reparation’ and ’you seventy, I thirty.’ He looked at him, somewhat stunned, "Are you saying, I get seventy and you get thirty?"

Could it be that his insults had dumbfounded this guy? Tang Haowan was known for his meticulous calculations on any normal day; how could he possibly make such a big concession today?

Seeing Shen Wei Qian’s hesitation, Tang Haowan’s face darkened slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed, "What? You don’t agree?"

"I..." Shen Wei Qian coughed lightly. Of course, he agreed. If he could make Tang Haowan bleed a bit more, why not rejoice in the opportunity?

Tang Haowan let out a deep sigh, "Back then, I was foolish. In fact many things were already clear to us, it’s just that pride stood in the way, and we couldn’t bring ourselves to ask the other side for peace."

Shen Wei Qian listened, not responding, simply listening quietly.

"Actually, they attacked me a few days ago, and it was Mr. Chu who pulled me back from the Ghost Gate."

Shen Wei Qian looked at him in shock; he wasn’t aware of this.

But here he was, someone who had just narrowly escaped from the Ghost Gate, looking as lively as a dragon or as vigorous as a tiger. Were it not for his inconvenient legs that required a wheelchair, he would even think that Tang Haowan had done remarkably well in preserving his health all these years.
