After a long silence, Tang Xia suddenly spoke up, "I’ll do it! I’ll do this! I’m not going to be a pianist anymore, I want to be a queen! The future master of the Tang Family must be me! I’ve lived in a greenhouse for 23 years, it’s time to face the harshness of life myself."
Yang Chen laughed and said, "You do the best, if you can really do as I say, I guarantee you’ll definitely be the future master of the Tang Family."
Tang Xia: "Good! Let’s agree on this. Have him catch a cold once, and then press hard on his philtrum. Right?"
Yang Chen: "Right!"
Tang Xia: "Alright! I got it."
Early the next morning, Tang Xia returned home.
Her parents hurriedly asked what was going on, what Yang Chen had said.
Tang Xia had lost her carefree smile from the past and replied very seriously, "I know what to do, step by step. When it’s time for me to use you, I will tell you how. I’m going to talk to Grandpa."
After that, Tang Xia went back to her room, took a basin of water, and went to her grandpa.
It was now mid-June, and the weather was already very hot.
However, the mornings were still a bit cool.
Tang Xia decided to use a simple and honest approach, directly splashing a basin of cold water on her grandpa.
He was already old, he should probably catch a cold, right?
The so-called catching a cold, in traditional medicine, is the evil air entering the body.
Yang Chen had anticipated this day, so he didn’t fully treat Tang Hengyu. As long as he inhaled evil air again and was stimulated with a big vomit of blood by pressing the philtrum, he would fall into a coma.
Tang Xia directly pushed the door open and splashed the cold water on the old man’s body.
The old man almost fainted from the cold water, looking at Tang Xia in shock, "Xiaxia, what are you doing? Are you rebelling?"
Tang Xia cried and replied, "I think you must be enchanted by something, I want to wake you up. I’m your most beloved granddaughter, how can you agree to Ye Family’s marriage without discussing with me? Have you considered my feelings? Are you still the grandpa who held me in the palm of your hand?"
After saying this, Tang Xia hugged Tang Hengyu and started crying.
Tang Hengyu was originally quite angry, but seeing Tang Xia like this, he was not angry anymore.
"Xiaxia, as men should marry, women should wed, you really are at the age to get married. Ye Family and our Tang Family are old friends, that Ye Xuan has made outstanding military contributions at the border and is known as the Asura War God. He has now returned on orders to establish a company that can rival Shield Security Group. Our two families are well matched, you and him are a perfect pair, Grandpa feels this is a good marriage," Tang Hengyu said with hypocrisy.
Tang Xia now wanted to deliberately stall Tang Hengyu, to prevent him from changing clothes.
"But I’ve never met him, I don’t know what kind of person he is, how can I marry him? And you also know my relationship with Yang Chen, you let me marry someone else, what about me and Yang Chen?" Tang Xia said.
Tang Hengyu snorted coldly, "Don’t mention him! The moment he brought people to smash our Tang Family Mansion, it was destined that you and he cannot be together. Unless you are no longer the Tang Family’s granddaughter, your father is no longer my son!"
Tang Xia felt extremely angry inside, further strengthening her determination to act herself.
Tang Xia managed to stall Tang Hengyu for nearly half an hour, the old man finally couldn’t take it anymore.
"Cough cough... cough cough cough..." Tang Hengyu started coughing.
At this time, he could not be pinched on the philtrum, otherwise Tang Xia could not explain.
"Grandpa, change your clothes first. Don’t catch a cold." Tang Xia said, then got up and left.
Tang Hengyu sighed, coughed a few more times, and muttered to himself, "Xiaxia, don’t blame Grandpa, blame yourself for not being a boy. Actually, Grandpa wished many times that you were a boy, Grandpa would spare no effort to leave everything of the Tang Family to you. Unfortunately, you are not... If Grandpa does not do this, the Tang Family will change its surname to Yang in the future, Grandpa won’t face our ancestors! Cough cough... cough cough cough..."
Tang Hengyu hurriedly got up to change clothes, but by this time it was too late, he felt a bit cold, so he quickly drilled into the quilt to warm up.
But soon Tang Hengyu couldn’t take it and was quickly sent to the hospital.
Tang Hengyu may also feel guilty towards Tang Xia, so he concealed the matter of Tang Xia splashing water.
In order to better recover, Tang Hengyu prepared to stay in the hospital for two days.
There were professional medical staff here to take care, definitely better than him going home.
Since it was broad daylight working hours, Tang Xia volunteered to stay and accompany her grandpa while the others went to work or study.
Tang Xia chatted with the old man for dozens of minutes, suddenly she changed the topic and asked, "Grandpa, if you had another chance, would you still abandon us?"
Tang Hengyu froze, then laughed and said, "Did your dad say something to you?"
Tang Xia expressionless, "My dad hopes I can study abroad and continue pursuing my pianist dream. I have always wanted to be a pianist, have no interest in inheriting the Tang Family’s property, you know that. Why do you have to make things so absolute?"
After saying this, Tang Xia’s hand touched Grandpa’s face.
Tang Hengyu did not imagine what Tang Xia wanted to do, so he did not resist.
"Xiaxia, do you know how many times I wished you were a boy? If you were a boy, I’d cherish you until my dying breath. But, you’re not. Girls are ultimately someone else’s, I cannot hand over the Tang Family to you. You can hate Grandpa, but you must understand Grandpa’s helplessness." Tang Hengyu said.
