Free Web NovelChapter 585: Chapter 246: I Own Ten Apartments—Isn’t That Enough to Woo Your Girlfriend? (Part 4)
Tang Chengbao was secretly delighted. With this crucial step taken, the next move was to find every way to get Yang Chen and Tang Xia to marry soon. Then everything would be settled.
Tang Chenghu remained calm and nodded, saying, "Alright. I’ll call Xiaxia and ask her to bring that guy home tomorrow to meet us."
At this moment, in the piano room of Yihai Apartments.
Yang Chen was diligently giving Tang Xia a lesson, and Tang Xia was very cooperative, following along with sounds.
Suddenly, Tang Xia’s phone rang, interrupting their lesson.
Yang Chen was ready to stop the lesson and let her answer the call.
But Tang Xia, deeply focused on learning, didn’t want to be interrupted by outside matters and directly turned off her phone, tossing it aside, urging Yang Chen to continue.
Meanwhile, Tang Chenghu looked at the phone number. It wasn’t wrong, so why wasn’t his daughter answering?
Then he called again, only to be reminded that the phone was turned off.
As someone with experience, Tang Chenghu obviously knew what was happening. Thinking about the cabbage he’s raised for over twenty years being stolen by a pig, he felt an inexplicable sourness in his heart.
Before he knew it, more than an hour had passed when Tang Chenghu finally received a call back from his daughter.
Tang Xia: "Hello, Dad, did you call me? I was in class just now, so I hung up. What’s the matter?"
Tang Chenghu: "Bring that guy home tomorrow; your grandpa wants to meet him."
Tang Xia: "Huh? Dad, we just started seeing each other, not at the meeting-parents stage yet. I haven’t seen him in days, and we just met today, really, I’m not lying."
Tang Chenghu: "It’s your grandpa who wants to meet him, not me. Tell him the truth and let him decide whether he wants to come."
After speaking, Tang Chenghu hung up the phone.
Tang Xia stayed in the bathroom for a while before heading out.
Grandpa is the head of the Tang Family, and since he asked to see Yang Chen, Tang Xia had to bring Yang Chen to meet him.
Returning to the piano room, Tang Xia leaned against Yang Chen, saying, "My dad just called saying my grandpa wants to see you. He asked me to bring you home tomorrow. Do you want to go? If you’re not willing, I’ll go back and explain to grandpa myself."
Yang Chen, hugging Tang Xia tightly, said, "Of course I want to go. I’d like to meet your grandpa too. Besides, I have some disagreements with your second uncle; if they can be cleared up in front of your grandpa, that would be best."
Tang Xia: "Huh? What disagreements do you have with my second uncle?"
Yang Chen: "Business matters, all about interests. It will be fine once we talk it out."
Tang Xia: "Alright, then tomorrow night, I’ll take you home for dinner."
Yang Chen nodded in agreement.
The two rested a while, ate a bit to regain energy, and then resumed the lesson.
Sigh...
The world of young people is just so simple and pure.
In the morning, Yang Chen drove Tang Xia back to the school gate.
Tang Xia got out of the car, waved goodbye to Yang Chen, and then turned to leave. However, her walking posture was a bit odd, a bit limping, but she herself seemed unaware.
Yang Chen picked up a ride request.
A little past eleven, Lin Yiren sent Yang Chen a message.
"Darling, someone is bothering me on the plane. Can you come pick me up? I’ll land in half an hour."
Yang Chen quickly replied, "Okay, I’m coming right over."
Having a beautiful girlfriend is quite a hassle; not only is it tiring for oneself, but one must also constantly guard against harassment.
When Yang Chen arrived at the airport, Lin Yiren had just come out.
At that moment, a man in his early thirties was chasing after Tang Xia, asking for her phone number.
Lin Yiren saw Yang Chen and quickly ran over.
"Ah Chen, that guy is so annoying, he keeps asking for my number. I’ve already told him I have a boyfriend, but he’s still pestering me," Lin Yiren complained.
Yang Chen nodded and said, "You get in the car first, I’ll go have a word with him."
Lin Yiren: "Just keep your temper in check, don’t hit him. It’s not worth going to the police station over someone like him."
Yang Chen nodded with a smile and walked towards the man harassing Lin Yiren.
"Buddy, she’s already told you she has a boyfriend, yet you still won’t leave her alone? That’s not very gentlemanly. I’m her boyfriend, if you want her number, I’ll give you mine. If you want to reach her, just call me," Yang Chen said.
The man let out a cold laugh and said, "They’re just dating, not married. What’s to stop me from pursuing? These days, divorces are dime a dozen, let alone breakups. As long as I swing my hoe well, there’s no wall I can’t dig under."
Yang Chen: "Oh really? Then let’s see you swing your hoe."
The man gave another cold laugh and asked, "What do you do for a living?"
Yang Chen: "Rideshare driver."
The man: "Seriously? A rideshare driver? How can a rideshare driver dare to date such a beautiful girl? Haven’t you heard of Wu Dalang’s story? Or Wang Bao’s? You know the saying about suitable matches?"
Yang Chen: "And you think you’re a good match for her?"
The man: "Of course! If I weren’t, would I be asking for her number? My family’s recent property division gave us 10 apartments. Ten apartments in Hai City—do I need to say more? Can you even afford one as a rideshare driver?"
Yang Chen: "Is that your confidence?"
The man: "Isn’t it enough?"
Yang Chen: "Man, I have ten buildings, do I show off to you? So, you’re just a property heir, while I thought you were some noble’s son. Don’t harass her again, or I won’t be so polite next time. Not worth my time to argue with someone like you."
With that, Yang Chen turned and walked back to his car.
The man, clearly unconvinced, said, "I swear I have ten apartments, I’m not lying! I often fly abroad, so I’ll have plenty of chances to pursue her. You can’t always keep an eye on her. Haha..."
