Chapter 189: Are You At My House?

Translator: Henyee  Editor: Henyee

Shocked, Tang Zhenhua looked at Qiao Liang, who held a small box in his hands. Tang Zhenhua couldn’t see what was inside, however, as the box was covered by a pitch black silk. He held the stick tightly in his hands and pounded it twice against the ground, saying, “Lad, I’ve lived for more than 70 years. No one can threaten me!” To that, Qiao Liang firmly replied, “Just like Mr. Tang, I have lived for more than 20 years and no one can threaten me. If you want to get this box in my hand, please first accept the physical examination of the medical team I have brought here.” With that, he changed the topic and sneered, “Mr. Tang, are you afraid? Are you afraid that you can’t get the box in my hand after you receive a physical examination?”

Seeing that Tang Zhenhua didn’t answer, Qiao Liang sneered again, “I didn’t expect that Tang Zhenhua, the leading merchant for many years, was afraid of doctors. If this becomes known to others, Mr. Tang’s great image will be shattered.”

Tang Zhenhua’s cloudy eyes stared straight at Qiao Liang. His aura was overbearing, but Qiao Liang wasn’t afraid at all. Or to be exact, only Tang Zhong felt Tang Zhenhua’s powerful aura and no one else felt it, especially Qiao Liang who looked quite relaxed. He looked at Tang Zhenhua with a smile, raised an eyebrow and asked calmly, “What? Did I say anything wrong?”

Tang Zhenhua suddenly loosened his grip on his stick and nodded to Qiao Liang, narrowing his eyes. “Good, very good. Lad, you’re something. You’re really something!”

Hearing this, Tang Zhong thought Qiao Liang had annoyed Tang Zhenhua. Having found the best position, Tang Zhong was prepared to rush over and stop his master. Suddenly, Tang Zhenhua said, “Let those people come in.” Then he glared at Qiao Liang and continued, “You’ll give me the box in your hand after you get my medical examination report, yes?”

Qiao Liang nodded. “Of course.”

Tang Zhenhua nodded. Qiao Liang asked Little Five to call in the medical team waiting in the living room. Tang Zhenhua looked at Qiao Liang and said, “Mr. Qiao, you aren’t insisting on checking my health to help Qiao’s International Group surpass our Empire Group, are you?”

Qiao Liang raised an eyebrow and bowed to Tang Zhenhua. “Mr. Tang, please forgive me for taking the liberty to ask you to receive a physical examination, but please trust me. What you’re worried about is absolutely not going to happen. I’m doing this solely for the sake of your health. I can even promise you that, as long as you’d like, Empire Group will always be the number one company in China, and that no other company can surpass it. ”

Tang Zhenhua raised his hand to stop Qiao Liang from continuing. “Time makes it inevitable that in every profession, young men replace the old,” he said seriously. “If you have the ability to make Qiao’s International Group surpass Empire Group, I’ll only congratulate you. You don’t have to do this for Xixi. Besides, Xixi has…”

When Tang Zhenhua agreed to accept the physical examination, Qiao Liang had softened his attitude. Hearing Tang Zhenhua’s words, Qiao Liang pursed his lips and said, “Mr. Tang, please don’t say that. Xixi wouldn’t have hoped for you to think like that. All she wanted was to accompany you and care for you every moment of the day, so please take good care of yourself for Xixi’s sake.”

Tang Zhenhua paused and murmured, “You two are both good kids. Unfortunately, you can’t be together… If Xixi could have been like her grandmother… Alright, forget it. Thank you for your kindness.” He looked up at Qiao Liang with a sigh and continued sadly, “Mr. Qiao, please give me the box in your hand after I finish the physical examination, then I can…”

Qiao Liang saw tears in the corner of Tang Zhenhua’s eyes. Tang Zhong, standing to the side, also secretly wiped at his tears. Qiao Liang stepped forward and merely said, “Don’t worry. As long as you finish the physical examination, I’ll hand you this box with both hands.”

The medical team had already entered the study. Tang Zhenhua’s study was extremely spacious, covering an area of more than 200 square meters, so they directly carried out a series of examinations in the study. While performing the examination, Qiao Liang, Tang Zhong and the others had all left the study. Qiao Liang looked at the spacious villa and asked Tang Zhong, “Can I have a look at Xixi’s room?”

Tang Zhong turned a hesitant eye towards Qiao Liang, but in the end he nodded and pointed to the first room upstairs. “That’s Miss’ room,” he said. “I asked the maids to clean it up every day because I thought if one day, Miss came back… she could still live in it.” His nose twitched when he said this. Then, with a self-mocking smile, he continued, “I’m sorry. I can’t control my emotions as I’m getting old. Mr. Qiao, you can go upstairs and have a look. I’ll go to the kitchen and see if Master’s soup is ready.”

Qiao Liang went up to the second floor while holding the crystal box, opened the door to Tang Xi’s room and entered. The room was very large and almost everything inside it was of cold colors. It was completely different from the princess room that the Xiao Family had prepared for her, yet this cold-colored room didn’t look lifeless. In the hot weather, it looked cool and comfortable. Her room was very big. Tang Zhenhua almost removed the partitions of all the rooms on the second floor and made this room for her. It included a bedroom, dressing room, cloakroom, shoe room and bathroom. What she had was something that even a real princess couldn’t own.

There was a photo of her in the room, which had been shot by him when they were in high school. She had most likely put the photo here because she liked it. Qiao Liang took a look around the room and smiled before taking out his cellphone to call Tang Xi. Soon, the other side answered the phone and Qiao Liang said, “I didn’t expect you were so narrow-minded, leaving no photo of me after breaking up with me. I can’t find any present I gifted you or a group photo with you and me in it. You’re really stone-hearted.”

Qiao Liang leaned against the floor-to-ceiling windows of Tang Xi’s room while holding his cellphone. Looking through the balcony, he could see a panoramic view of Empire Garden.

On the other side, Tang Xi seemed to be silent for quite a while and then in a pouting manner, she replied, “You didn’t want me anymore. Why should I have still kept your things? To miss you? No way…”

You didn’t want me anymore. How could I hold your photo and miss you every day?Qiao Liang had truly wanted her to forget about him when he broke up with her, but later he regretted it deeply when he find out he had recovered.

Recalling what happened back then, Qiao Liang shook his head. At that time, he had been in a horrible mood. He had vomited blood at midnight and was diagnosed with gastric cancer by the person he trusted most. What else could he have done except to leave her?

After Tang Xi spoke those words to Qiao Liang, her eyes suddenly lit up and she asked, “Are you at my house?”
