Chapter 931: Chapter 900 Love Affairs Trouble

He Tiantian also felt that Tang Qian was a good businessman, and she couldn’t let her personal views on Tang Qian’s private life create a bias against his business capabilities, causing Fuxi Automobile to lose a good partner.

"Thank you for that, my dear niece," Tang Qian said with a smile. From the change in Tiantian’s form of address, it was apparent her opinions of him had altered somewhat.

Tang Qian was a shrewd man. He understood that in He Tiantian’s eyes, he was an absolute scoundrel! However, in business, he was somewhat talented, and given the relationship between the two families, he had approached her; she had to give him some face.

"No need to thank me," He Tiantian said, "it’s just a referral after all. Whether or not it works out is not up to me to decide."

Aunt Guo had finished preparing the meal and said, "Tiantian, the food is ready, can we start eating now?"

"Yes, I’m just getting hungry," He Tiantian replied with a smile, making no effort to invite Tang Qian to stay.

Since the business was already discussed, it would not be appropriate for Tang Qian to stay for the meal.

"Alright, the business discussion is over, so I’ll be heading back now," Tang Qian said. "By the way, Tiantian, what time shall we meet tomorrow? Where shall we meet?"

"At the International Hotel, nine o’clock," He Tiantian instructed him to go there directly.

Seeing He Tiantian’s impatience with Tang Qian, and considering the recent alliance between the Huo Family and the Tang family, Yingjie smiled and said, "It’s mealtime. Uncle Xiao Si, please have dinner before you go back. If Grandfather knew you came to our house and we didn’t keep you for the meal, he might say I’m being thoughtless."

The Huo Family also showed great respect for the Tang family.

Although Old Master Tang was skilled at scheming, he had never wronged the Huo Family; moreover, he had discreetly helped them. This wasn’t just because Old Master Huo had once saved his life, but because Old Master Tang rarely made enemies and was the kind that quietly prospered.

The Li Family might be the family the Tang family had offended most severely.

However, even after the divorce, the Li Family got important resources from the Tang family, as well as all of Tang Qian’s possessions, which compensated for all the strife with the Tang family.

Thus, the reputation of the Tang family had recently recovered somewhat because of these two matters.

Seeing Yingjie speak up, He Tiantian couldn’t just send guests away.

Moreover, Tiantian didn’t understand matters at that level, but she knew it was best not to offend people, especially when they were down on their luck.

Right now, Tang Qian was quite down and out, but the Tang family was still around, and their resurgence was imminent.

Even without a partnership with Fuxi Automobile, they would likely find other projects.

"Uncle Xiao Si, please don’t be polite. Yingjie, take Uncle to the dining room first. I’ll help serve the dishes," He Tiantian called out, dismissing Tang Qian’s old issues, but she couldn’t refuse to offer food to a guest who had come to their door.

Tang Qian was hoping to build a closer relationship with He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie, and he wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity.

"Haha, I’m really hungry," Tang Qian said, "The aroma coming from the kitchen made me even hungrier. Thanks a lot, Yingjie and Tiantian."

He Tiantian smiled and said, "You’re welcome."

Huo Yingjie led Tang Qian, and He Tiantian made sure the two children were seated properly in their chairs with bibs, letting them eat on their own.

Seeing the two children with puffed cheeks, Tang Qian looked on with joy.

"Ah, Yingjie, I’m a year younger than you, and your kids are already so big. I’m really envious," Tang Qian said, pondering. "If Li Gongru and I had fallen in love and married, perhaps I would have been this happy too."

What past things looked like if they were to happen again, who knows.

Huo Yingjie indulgently glanced at his son, daughter, and wife, and said, "Actually, you could totally find a woman you deeply love, start a family, have children, and maintain a harmonious home. The tranquility at home would also help your career, right?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Qian gave a bitter smile and said, "Yingjie, in front of you and Tiantian, I won’t lie. I don’t know what’s wrong with me; it’s hard for me to deeply and consistently love a woman. Honestly, every time I’m with a girl, I think she’ll be the last one, but somehow, after a while, I get fed up. I really don’t want to hurt them."

He Tiantian, hearing this, almost turned black with anger, a true scumbag indeed.

If it weren’t for the relationship between the two families, He Tiantian really wanted to grab the job from Tang Qian’s hands and tell him to get lost.

To avoid such an irresponsible, philandering person corrupting Huo Yingjie.

Huo Yingjie looked at Tang Qian and realized that the "Peach Blossom Evil" on his face wasn’t naturally occurring. Could there be some man-made factors?

However, Huo Yingjie was too lazy to resolve the "Peach Blossom Evil" for Tang Qian.

"People used to say, ’Destined to suffer from peach blossoms,’ perhaps that’s you," Huo Yingjie didn’t help but still wanted to give a reminder, to create good karma.

"Peach Blossom Evil?"

Tang Qian was dumbfounded and asked, "Yingjie, do you still believe that? Isn’t that just feudal superstition?"

Huo Yingjie looked down on him, not believing was one thing, but dismissing it as feudal superstition justified his lifelong struggle with ’peach blossoms.’

"You also said, it’s not intentional, and you don’t mean to hurt them, yet you also desire a lasting love," He Tiantian said. "But indeed, you’ve done these things. Afterward, you feel it wasn’t your intention, but it’s already too late. It happens once, it happens twice, if it’s not the legendary ’peach blossom curse,’ then it’s just your nature to be fickle, and you still won’t admit it."

He Tiantian’s words were piercing!

This left Tang Qian dumbfounded again, then he gave a bitter smile and said, "It seems that to prove I’m not a scumbag, I must also find a well-known master to take a look."

"Heh, you brought this upon yourself; we’re just mentioning it," He Tiantian laughed, others might not believe, but she did.

Huo Yingjie then asked about a few other things, their conversation was quite enjoyable.

After the meal and a short rest, Tang Qian soon took his leave.

After Tang Qian had left, He Tiantian, harboring thoughts, tentatively asked, "Brother Yingjie, why did you say Tang Qian is doomed by ’peach blossoms’?"

Huo Yingjie chuckled and said, "His facial features truly possess the ’Peach Blossom Evil,’ and I carefully observed that Tang Qian might have some emotional entanglement with Zhengmin. If his ’Peach Blossom Evil’ isn’t removed, it will be Zhengmin who ends up heartbroken."

"Zhengmin?" He Tiantian was startled; Qi Zhengmin was not her real sister but was almost as close.

"Yes," Huo Yingjie chuckled, "If Zhengmin hadn’t come to Yanjing, there would be no problem, but she has, and there are some changes in her facial features, showing signs of the ’Red Luan Star’ stirring. I only realized it was Tang Qian who would be affected after seeing him today."

"No way! Absolutely not," He Tiantian said excitedly. "Tomorrow I was planning to introduce Tang Qian to Zhenghan; Zhengmin was to be there too, but it seems like instead of sending a business partner, we might be sending a philandering wolf in sheep’s clothing!"

Huo Yingjie chuckled, knowing He Tiantian would be worried.
