Chapter 182: Tang Bingyan's Condition

~7 min read 1,340 words

For a time, the expressions of those Tang family high-level officials led by Tang Jihuai all froze on their faces.

They looked awkward and could no longer say any words of opposition.

The Great Elder frowned tightly. Although he had some complaints about Tang Bingyan giving all the secrets to Xu Tian, Xu Tian was after all Tang Bingyan's legal partner, so Tang Bingyan's actions had no problems and didn't violate family law, so he had no position to interfere or blame her.

In the crowd, Gu Beicheng changed his usual gentle demeanor, and it was rare for his face to be very ugly.

He lowered his head for a full minute before he restrained all his emotions. When he looked up again, he hid all the resentment in his eyes, standing straight as usual, his expression decent and calm.

But only he himself knew how unwilling he was in his heart.

Those materials, even he hadn't been exposed to them.

Tang Bingyan had just put them in front of Xu Tian!

He had never regarded Xu Tian as his opponent, even if Xu Tian and Tang Bingyan were already married, he didn't care.

Because he was certain that the person who would eventually accompany Tang Bingyan would be himself; only he could be worthy of Tang Bingyan.

Xu Tian, this pretty boy who lived off a woman, only had a good skin, his talent wasn't outstanding, and he had no family background support. Sooner or later, he would be abandoned by Tang Bingyan.

Gu Beicheng had always believed that Xu Tian and Tang Bingyan would divorce, and he believed that day wouldn't be far off.

But this time, Xu Tian saved Tang Bingyan with his own strength in the Lighthouse Country, making him realize that he seemed to have underestimated his enemy before.

He didn't believe Xu Tian was just favored by luck, and he didn't believe he could do all this just by being clever.

"Bingyan, your body is still very weak, go back to your room quickly, don't catch a cold again."

The Tang Family Patriarch was worried about his granddaughter's health and waved his hand, intending to send the people in the guest hall away: "Everything has been revealed, don't disturb Bingyan's rest anymore. Report other matters to her after Bingyan recovers!"

"Then, old man, we will go back first!"

"Family Head, you must pay attention to rest. We will come to see you again in a while!"

The Tang Family Patriarch issued an order to evict guests, and others naturally didn't dare to stay long, so they got up and left one after another.

Before Chen Yuan left, he patted Xu Tian's shoulder hard.

"Mr. Xu, thank you for your help today and for clearing A Wei's name. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid our Chen family would have suffered a catastrophe..."

"Chen will definitely keep your kindness in mind. In the future, if Mr. Xu has any place where you can use our Chen family, just speak up!"

Chen Yuan had seen all kinds of big storms in his half-life, so he was naturally not afraid of death.

But his Chen family had always been loyal and absolutely didn't want all Chen family members to be labeled as "treacherous."

Xu Tian smiled and waved his hand: "I just stated the facts. The key is that A Wei has really never done anything to apologize to Bingyan, otherwise I couldn't have helped him."

"I have worked for the Tang family for decades and have seen many who add flowers to the brocade, but few who send charcoal in the snow."

Chen Yuan seemed to think of something and sighed melancholically: "Regardless, I still want to thank you."

With so many people present, even if one person had stood up to speak for A Wei, the result might have been different.

But those who were usually on good terms with the Chen family chose to stay out of it.

Chen Yuan could understand their practice of self-preservation, but he still couldn't help but feel disappointed.

It was precisely because those who had some friendship with him were like this that Xu Tian's value became apparent.

After all, for Xu Tian, A Wei was just an assistant under Tang Bingyan. Xu Tian could still risk being implicated to stand up and clarify things for A Wei. Just based on this, it was worth him being grateful for a lifetime.

"You are too polite."

Xu Tian smiled faintly: "A Wei also often helps me. Helping each other is what should be done."

A Wei, standing on the side, was slightly stunned after hearing Xu Tian's words.

He didn't remember helping Xu Tian.

Everything he did was in accordance with the Eldest Miss's wishes, completing her instructions, and had little to do with Xu Tian.

Moreover, Xu Tian just said that the undercover agent secretly contacted him, which was absolutely impossible.

A Wei could be one hundred percent sure that the undercover agent he sent to Tattoo had died, and he had even gone to handle the funeral arrangements himself at the time.

Xu Tian had risked his lies being exposed to guarantee him in front of the Tang family elders.

If the Eldest Miss hadn't woken up at the critical moment just now, the person entering the interrogation room would probably have been Xu Tian.

A Wei asked himself if he were in Xu Tian's position, he couldn't have done this much.

He stared at Xu Tian quietly, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

After a long while, A Wei spoke.

"Mr. Xu, you are the Eldest Miss's husband; it is what I should do to work for you."

Xu Tian paused, turning his head in surprise to look at the young man standing straight in front of him.

A Wei had always been on guard against him; Xu Tian had always been clear about that.

In fact, just based on the scoundrel things he did before he was reborn, if Tang Bingyan's subordinates still respected him, then the Tang family would really need to investigate the traitors in the family.

Xu Tian originally didn't expect A Wei to trust him so quickly, but he didn't expect that his saving A Wei this time would quickly reverse his view.

As Tang Bingyan's most capable subordinate, if he trusted him, it would be convenient for him to detect Tang Bingyan's condition in time.

Accidents like severe coma due to extreme fatigue must never happen a second time.

Most of the people in the guest hall had left, and Zhang Zizhen also hurried to the Tang Family Mountain Villa with a medical kit.

The Tang Family Patriarch frowned as he watched him examine Tang Bingyan, obvious worry appearing on his face.

"Zhang Shenyi, how is my granddaughter's condition?"

Xu Tian also stared at Zhang Zizhen nervously. In his previous life, Tang Bingyan was seriously injured, and coupled with the worsening of her condition, the situation was extremely dangerous. It took a full half a year of recuperation before her body improved slightly.

And this time, although she fell into a coma due to extreme fatigue, she wasn't hurt by Tattoo's people after all, and coupled with Zhang Zizhen, who came from a family of imperial physicians, the situation shouldn't worsen.

But even so, before Zhang Zizhen gave a specific diagnosis, he was still terrified, afraid that Tang Bingyan would have other complications due to the recurrence of old illnesses.

Zhang Zizhen focused on taking Tang Bingyan's pulse, and it took a full minute before he let go helplessly.

"Zhang Shenyi, how is it?"

The Tang Family Patriarch's heart jumped when he saw the other party's solemn expression.

"Miss Tang's condition..."

Zhang Zizhen weighed his words: "Not very good..."

"What does not very good mean?"

The Tang Family Patriarch staggered back a step. If it weren't for Xu Tian's quick eyes and fast hands to support him, he would probably have fallen directly to the ground. ===== CHAPTER 183 =====
