Chapter 1988: Chapter 1984: Chai Family
Immediately, Zhou Haomin and the others hurriedly carried Chai’erfu out, and before leaving, Zhou Haomin cast a venomous glance at Tang Ming.
Although he couldn’t vent his anger this time, now that the Zhou Family is developing well overseas, knowing that Tang Ming has gone abroad, revenge is inevitable.
"Clap clap clap!"
After Zhou Haomin and the others left, everyone started applauding, each with eyes full of admiration and respect for Wu Xiaoxia, even the women greatly admired Wu Xiaoxia.
In an instant, Wu Xiaoxia became everyone’s ideal girl, overshadowing all other women.
"Forgive me for the poor performance."
Wu Xiaoxia hadn’t expected such an effect, quickly smiled and bowed to everyone around, then withdrew to the side.
Still, countless boys rushed over to invite Wu Xiaoxia to dance, even the foreigners who delivered babies came over to flatter her.
Watching Wu Xiaoxia being treated like the center of attention, Huangfu Tieling sat to the side, seething with jealousy.
Originally, even if Tang Ming’s group reassembled, she was unquestionably the princess, as she herself symbolized wealth, coupled with the excellent grace she cultivated over the years, making her incomparable to the likes of Wu Xiaoxia.
But after all this commotion, Huangfu Tieling’s princess status was replaced by Wu Xiaoxia, and the boys who approached her earlier were now ignoring her, leaving her very annoyed.
"This is infuriating, completely infuriating."
Huangfu Tieling gritted her teeth as she grabbed her wine glass: "What’s the big deal? It’s just having martial arts skills, what’s so impressive?"
"Miss, it’s not as simple as having martial arts skills; if I’m not mistaken, Wu Xiaoxia is a Martial General powerhouse."
Du Kai reminded with a strange expression: "She’s beautiful, a Martial General powerhouse, and most importantly, she’s young. Such a woman is rare even in our country, I’m tempted just looking at her."
"Tempted? If you’re tempted, then go after her."
Huangfu Tieling glared at Du Kai: "Beautiful women have their trials; you treat her as a woman, but who knows how many men she’s been with, those guys flattering her are disgusting."
"Well...you used to enjoy the feeling of being flattered and picked up on, why are you saying such things now?"
Du Kai looked at Huangfu Tieling speechlessly.
"I’m me, how can she compare? When I stand out, that’s my choice, but when other women outshine me, it’s shameless."
Huangfu Tieling shouted stubbornly.
"Fine, pretend I didn’t say anything."
Du Kai shrugged helplessly, having no way to deal with this young lady.
"No way! You have to dance with me, I must steal the spotlight back."
Huangfu Tieling jumped up, fiercely stating: "Wherever I go, I must be the center of attention."
"Isn’t that unnecessary? There are so many people here."
Hearing this, Du Kai’s lips twitched in reluctance.
"What did you say?"
Huangfu Tieling looked coldly at Du Kai.
"Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you, isn’t that enough?"
Du Kai sighed, obediently rose and followed Huangfu Tieling to the dance floor.
Tang Ming, Zhou Xiaoqian, Li Wenxuan, and a few exchange students sat in the corner eating, all with peculiar expressions looking at the exhausted Wu Xiaoxia.
When Wu Xiaoxia once again turned down two boys’ invitations, Tang Ming couldn’t help but speak: "You were so low-key back home, I didn’t expect you to be this popular here, cross-cultural appeal!"
"It’s all for you to stand out."
Wu Xiaoxia glared at Tang Ming: "If I’d known it would be this troublesome, I wouldn’t have stepped in, it’s so annoying."
"Ha, ha, thank you! As a teacher, I’m not suited to reprimand students; I really do appreciate your help."
Tang Ming nodded repeatedly, then looked curiously at Zhou Xiaoqian: "By the way, how did Zhou Haomin end up here? This world is really small, bumping into so many familiar faces."
"I’m not sure of the specifics either, but the Zhou Family did have many industries overseas before."
Zhou Xiaoqian frowned, uncertainly explaining: "Back then, my third uncle Zhou Xianli was mainly responsible for overseas markets in the Zhou Family’s industries. Later, the Zhou Family had a change, and my third uncle ran overseas, severing ties with them, and then my second uncle’s family also went overseas to join my third uncle. After that, the family had no contact with them, unaware they were in M Country."
"Zhou Xiande, Zhou Xianli."
Tang Ming rubbed his chin, sighed helplessly: "Can you ask your father to tell these two brothers not to bother me? They’re Songlan City acquaintances, and members of the Zhou Family’s elder generation too; I really don’t want to keep this feud going, it’s tiresome!"
"I’m afraid that’s impossible."
Zhou Xiaoqian sighed helplessly: "After the Zhou Family split, they haven’t contacted the family. Although grandpa still thinks of them, we can’t reach them!"
"Oh! Alright, hopefully Zhou Haomin learns his lesson and stops bothering me, or I’ll have to stop being considerate."
Tang Ming grumbled, the few loose ends from the Zhou Family barely registered to him anymore, even the overseas Yang Family submitted to him, what were Zhou Xiande and Zhou Xianli in comparison!
"Things may already be beyond your control."
At this moment, the usually silent Mo Hongsheng suddenly spoke.
"What do you mean?"
Tang Ming looked at Mo Hongsheng in confusion, "You’re in charge of intelligence, does this mean the Zhou Family brothers are thriving overseas?"
"No matter how the Zhou Family brothers thrive, they’re just merchants, they can’t threaten you."
Mo Hongsheng rolled his eyes at Tang Ming, cautiously stating: "I’m referring to that Chai’erfu fellow, he seems to have his sights set on Wu Xiaoxia."
"He couldn’t even beat Wu Xiaoxia, what’s he worth!"
Tang Ming dismissed disdainfully.
"Exactly! If he dares to mess with me again, I’ll kill him."
Wu Xiaoxia said angrily.
"Chai’erfu himself may seem insignificant, but didn’t you notice he claimed to be from the Chai Family?"
Mo Hongsheng looked seriously at Tang Ming.
"Chai Family?"
Tang Ming furrowed his brow, his expression grew solemn: "I hadn’t really paid much attention just now, your reminder does make him seem harder to deal with."
"What’s up with this Chai Family? What are you guys really talking about?"
Wu Xiaoxia looked puzzled at Mo Hongsheng and Tang Ming.
"How much do you know about the Chai Family?"
Mo Hongsheng curiously looked at Tang Ming, wanting to know how broad Tang Ming’s overseas knowledge really was.
"You asked the right person for this! When it comes to the domestic situation and power, I’m less knowledgeable than you, but overseas, your intelligence system may not compare to mine."
Tang Ming smiled faintly, squinted his eyes and said: "The Chai Family has a long history, possibly even longer than the lifespan of M Country."
