Chapter 152

Xu Tian had just supervised Tang Bingyan's subordinates to check in the luggage he brought, and at this time also came to the two of them: "I'm a grown man and don't care about the environment, and I can stay in the same room as Bingyan, your previous arrangements don't need to be changed at all."

"But you don't understand the project, you are clearly going over to add to the chaos!"

Chen Xiaoxia retorted in a low voice, but it was still heard by Tang Bingyan.

She raised her eyes slightly: "Chen Xiaoxia."

Chen Xiaoxia's eyelids jumped upon hearing this; Tang Bingyan rarely called her by her full name.

Every time she spoke to her in this tone, it meant she was dissatisfied with her words and actions.

She lowered her head and didn't argue again, but the tightly clenched fists and the blue veins on her wrists betrayed her.

Xu Tian found Chen Xiaoxia's appearance funny; he really wouldn't get angry with a little girl, so he didn't continue this topic, but pulled Tang Bingyan to the VIP lounge nearby.

Who knew that Xu Tian's behavior was more like a demonstration in Chen Xiaoxia's eyes, which immediately made her furious.

"Small person getting smug!"

She complained almost in a breath that didn't make a sound: "I really don't know what the eldest miss sees in him..."

"Xiaoxia, say less."

A Wei shook his head helplessly; Chen Xiaoxia was still too easy to act on impulse.

The old people who followed Tang Bingyan all knew Xu Tian's specialness to Tang Bingyan, so even if they looked down on Xu Tian in their hearts, they would still maintain the proper etiquette toward Xu Tian on the surface.

But Chen Xiaoxia was the exception; every time she saw Xu Tian, she wouldn't feel comfortable if she didn't argue a few times, and she wouldn't restrain herself until she received Tang Bingyan's warning.

Xu Tian pulled Tang Bingyan to sit in the VIP area near the boarding gate.

Not long after, he saw the resentful Chen Xiaoxia and A Wei walk in together.

Chen Xiaoxia deliberately chose the seat behind Xu Tian, seemingly wanting to keep a close eye on him.

Xu Tian felt uncomfortable being stared at by the two fiery gazes behind him, so he turned his head to look at the woman sitting behind him.

"Chen Xiaoxia, I also dreamed of you when I dreamed yesterday; I don't know who you had a quarrel with, and you were beaten and disfigured; after the plane lands in the United States, you'd better be careful."

Tang Bingyan being assassinated in the Lighthouse Country in her previous life was very serious, so even if Xu Tian didn't care, he still heard a lot of inside information.

At that time, he was listening to those dangerous experiences as gossip with the mentality of watching the fun.

Now looking back, he really wanted to travel back to his previous life and slap his ignorant self to death.

However, there was one detail Xu Tian always remembered, and that was that Chen Xiaoxia got into a fight and injured her face when she first arrived in the United States, and later because Tang Bingyan was attacked, she didn't receive timely treatment, leaving a hideous scar.

From then on, Chen Xiaoxia's personality became very gloomy.

"Are you cursing me?" Chen Xiaoxia's face turned white with anger; she had never seen such a petty man; she just said a few words to him, was it worth cursing her?

"Believe it or not, anyway I've reminded you."

After Xu Tian finished speaking, he turned around, picked up the thermos cup on his right, unscrewed it, and handed it to Tang Bingyan: "Bingyan, drink more ginger sugar water, it warms the stomach."

Lanshan Hot Spring Tang family's mountain villa.

A young man wearing a high-end custom suit stood beside Tang Laoyezi, massaging his shoulders with a submissive face.

"Tang Laoyezi, I happened to be free during this time, so I wanted to come and accompany you more for Miss Tang; usually Miss Tang and Gu Xiansheng are busy running around for company matters and rarely come back; you are too lonely in the villa by yourself."

Tang Laoyezi wore reading glasses and held a financial newspaper in his hand; he didn't show much reaction to the young man's service of massaging shoulders and pounding legs, only saying faintly:

"Young people should still have their own careers; I, this old man, can understand, and I am not so old that I can't take care of myself, so I don't need so many people to accompany me."

The young man's eyelids jumped upon hearing this, and he hurriedly said: "Tang Laoyezi, of course you are not old, and you don't need nursing by your side, it's just that Butler Li has to take care of the whole manor after all, so it's inevitable that there will be places he can't take care of; if you don't have a thoughtful younger generation to take care of you by your side, it's inevitably inconvenient."

He observed Tang Laoyezi's expression carefully while speaking, paused, and then continued:

"I heard that Miss Tang's boyfriend is clamoring to go to the Lighthouse Country with Miss Tang this time; both of them are gone, and Gu Xiansheng is busy managing the company."

"As for those other nephews of the Tang family, most of them are in the Imperial Capital; I estimate you will feel bored here alone, so I came over; I hope Tang Laoyezi won't dislike me for being clumsy and not knowing how to take care of people."

"You said Xu Tian also went to the Lighthouse Country with Bingyan?"

Tang Laoyezi put down the newspaper in his hand, a flash of displeasure in his eyes.

The reason he was quite satisfied with Xu Tian before was, besides his ordinary family background, also because he had no ambition.

The current Tang family relied entirely on Tang Bingyan, and Xu Tian's weight in Tang Bingyan's heart was very heavy.

If this kid had any other thoughts, I'm afraid that after he closed his eyes, the Tang family would face the risk of changing surnames.

"Ah!"

The young man pretended to be panicked, looking like he had accidentally said the wrong thing: "Tang Laoyezi, you didn't know about this? Then I spoke too much; I estimate Miss Tang didn't want you to worry, so she didn't say."

"Why would Xu Tian go to the Lighthouse Country with Bingyan? Didn't he never ask about company matters before?"

"Actually..."

The young man hesitated for a moment before speaking again: "I'm not very clear either; it seems Mr. Xu didn't want Miss Tang to go to the Lighthouse Country before."

"The Lighthouse Country is so far from our Huaxia, the plane takes more than ten hours; I estimate he couldn't bear to be separated from Miss Tang for so long."

Tang Laoyezi remained silent, picked up the water cup on the coffee table, but held it in his hand and didn't drink for a long time.

The living room was quiet for a moment, and the young man said tentatively: "Tang Laoyezi, I also heard a bit of news, I don't know if I should say it or not..."

"You came to see me today, isn't it just to tell me these things?"

Tang Laoyezi was old, but not confused, and had long since seen through the young man's little abacus.

The young man was a bit embarrassed, standing there not knowing what to do.

"Speak, what else did you hear?" Tang Laoyezi's tone made it impossible to tell if he was happy or angry.

"It's just..."

The young man steadied his mind before continuing: "I heard that Mr. Xu Tian, in order to stop Miss Tang from going on a business trip, even said he had an ominous dream, dreaming that Miss Tang would be in danger going to the Lighthouse Country this time, so he insisted on going with her."

"Originally the flight Miss Tang was taking was about to take off, but because Xu Tian only bought a ticket for the next flight, in the end Miss Tang had no choice but to call to mobilize a private jet."

Tang Laoyezi's originally normal face changed suddenly.

People who are old are originally more concerned about unlucky things like nightmares.

Even if it was an excuse Xu Tian made up to keep Tang Bingyan, it was unacceptable to Tang Laoyezi.

In order not to let Tang Bingyan go to the Lighthouse Country, Xu Tian actually said there would be danger; is this what an adult man should do?

Tang Laoyezi didn't mind Xu Tian being idle all day and not finding a proper job, but he couldn't accept Xu Tian holding his granddaughter back.

Originally Tang Laoyezi had many concerns about Tang Bingyan marrying down, and now Xu Tian's various performances made him confirm that his previous concerns were not redundant.

In the entire Tang family, only he knew how difficult it was for Tang Bingyan to get to where she was today, so many things, even if he didn't approve, he didn't want to oppose and make his granddaughter unhappy.

Now the Tang family had internal and external troubles, and all decisions needed Tang Bingyan to decide alone.

If it were Gu Beicheng who could share her worries by her side, it would be fine, but it's a pity she valued Xu Tian.

Xu Tian's background destined his vision to not be broad enough, and he would never be able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Tang Bingyan.

If he didn't work hard, he would be a rice worm raised by the Tang family for a lifetime.

If he worked too hard and wanted to make a career in the Tang family's company, and in the future his ambition grew, and then relying on Tang Bingyan's unconditional indulgence, there was a possibility of swallowing the Tang family.

When Tang Laoyezi learned that Xu Tian didn't ask Tang Bingyan to arrange him into the Tang family's core company, but hid his identity to work in an entertainment company under the Yan Group, he was originally somewhat relieved.

But Xu Tian's various performances recently made Tang Laoyezi have new concerns.

"Tang Laoyezi, don't be angry, Xu Tian doing this might just be because he cares too much about Miss Tang; this is also a good thing."

The young man noticed Tang Laoyezi's displeasure, and although he was secretly happy in his heart, he pretended to defend Xu Tian on the surface.

"Enough, you are not allowed to tell anyone else about this."

Tang Laoyezi no longer had the heart to listen to the young man's complaints: "I'm tired, you go back first too."

"Then I'll come to see you another day."

Seeing his goal achieved, the young man didn't say more and retreated respectfully.

After the young man left, Tang Laoyezi's spine, which had been tightly braced, relaxed, and he leaned on the sofa and rubbed his eyebrows with fatigue.

It seems that after Bingyan returns from the Lighthouse Country, he should find a time to talk to her about Xu Tian.

Lighthouse Country.

The AM Company they were going to negotiate with this time was not in the capital of the Lighthouse Country, and the plane couldn't arrive directly.

In the evening, they passed a small town with a population of only over 100,000 and checked into the only hotel in the center of the town.

As soon as Tang Bingyan entered the room, she took out her laptop and held a video conference with the company's senior management still in Huaxia.

Xu Tian saw her posture of a desperate workaholic and knew that if the meeting didn't end, she definitely wouldn't eat, so he walked out of the room, wanting to borrow the hotel's kitchen to make a midnight snack for Tang Bingyan himself.

Just as Xu Tian came out of the elevator, he saw Chen Xiaoxia and more than a dozen bodyguards behind her patrolling the interior of the hotel in the lobby.

Chen Xiaoxia saw Xu Tian and walked over with a cold face.

"Xu scumbag, the public security in the Lighthouse Country is not as good as Huaxia, I advise you not to run around everywhere; if something really happens, you are just adding trouble for everyone!"

Xu Tian was annoyed because Tang Bingyan was working so hard that she forgot to eat and sleep, so seeing Chen Xiaoxia come to find trouble, he didn't have such a good mood to ignore it directly.

He looked at Chen Xiaoxia expressionlessly and then sneered:

"I just happen to also want to remind you not to run around everywhere; your forehead is black, it looks like you are having bad luck, and you will be entangled in trouble recently."

"You are responsible for Bingyan's safety; if something happens, it will also affect Bingyan's itinerary."
