Heavenly Dragon Doctor Son-in-Law-Chapter 148 - 149: The Arrogant Wang Ming!

One might even say Zhang Meilan’s pets held a higher status than he did.

Does he, Qin Long, really look like a fish on the chopping block, to be sliced at will?

His engagement with Tang Xuewu was merely a verbal agreement, so why would he hesitate to strike Zhang Meilan? In his mind, Zhang Meilan and Old Master Tang were worthless. Is Xuewu the only one I truly care about? Given his former Heavenly Dragon temperament, it would have been a miracle for Zhang Meilan to escape without a few broken ribs. He was already being incredibly tolerant today.

"This man is an ungrateful wretch!" Old Master Tang clenched his fists, roaring through gritted teeth. "Rulan, is this the prodigy you so admired?"

"An ingrate?" Qin Long scoffed. "For Xuewu’s sake, I had the Yaolong Group deliberately give you that massive order. And now, in your eyes, I’m an ingrate? Believe it or not, I can have that order canceled with a single phone call. Don’t believe me? Try me."

Hearing this, Old Master Tang was stunned. The people around them were also agape, their faces filled with shock. Wasn’t the Yaolong Group deal brokered by Wang Ming? This is impossible! Absolutely impossible! Could Qin Long really be the one who got the Yaolong Group to help us? Absolutely not!

"Qin Long, did you forget to take your medicine today?" Tang Yuxiang slammed the table and shot to his feet, rushing to Wang Ming’s defense. "The order from the Yaolong Group was clearly arranged by Young Master Wang! Stop trying to take credit for it!"

The crowd jeered at Qin Long. "Yeah, there’s a limit to bragging!"

"Even Tang Xuewu wouldn’t believe that!"

"Have any of you wondered why the Yaolong Group would only accept a signature and thumbprint from Tang Xuewu?" Qin Long retorted, his expression stern.

"Damn, what an idiot!" Tang Chuchu said with a look of disdain, her arms crossed. "That must have been Young Master Wang’s arrangement. He did it to win Tang Xuewu’s affection."

Old Master Tang raised an eyebrow in agreement. "I saw it with my own eyes. Mrs. Zhao and Wang Ming were chatting and laughing together. Wang Ming even mentioned Land Parcel No. 9. It seems he used his own assets to secure that deal for the Tang Family."

At these words, everything clicked into place for Qin Long. No wonder Tang Xuewu didn’t quite believe I was the one who secured the big order for the Tang Family. She kept bringing it up over and over again. I didn’t understand at the time. It turns out she mistakenly thought I was stealing Wang Ming’s credit and kept silent just to protect my pride.

"Xuewu, why are you so kind?" Qin Long shook his head and sighed. Then again, it was that kindness I fell in love with. Without it, I wouldn’t have survived.

A bitter, helpless smile touched Qin Long’s lips as his gaze swept over the Tang Family members.

"Very well. Since this is how it is, you will all bear witness today! I’ll show you the truth!" With that, Qin Long dialed Zhao Ruoying’s number.

"Mrs. Zhao, bring the partnership termination agreement to the Tang Family Courtyard. You have ten minutes." His tone was glacial, a direct command.

"Young Master Qin, I’ll head over immediately," Zhao Ruoying replied, immediately departing on her private jet without a moment’s hesitation.

Qin Long’s words left the surrounding Tang Family members staring at him in utter shock. Could it be? Is Qin Long really some big shot? Did he actually secure the Yaolong Group contract?

They simply couldn’t believe it was true. Yet, Qin Long’s tone was so cold, it didn’t sound like he was bluffing. If Mrs. Zhao didn’t show up, he would be digging his own grave and making himself a complete laughingstock. Surely, he wouldn’t be so foolish.

A wave of heated discussion erupted through the crowd. Even Old Master Tang looked baffled. Zhang Meilan, who had been about to fly at Qin Long, froze. After all, if Qin Long could command Mrs. Zhao so casually, he really might be a powerful figure. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Qin Long, have you lost your mind?" Tang Yuxiang sneered. "You think you’re worthy of having Mrs. Zhao’s number? You’re just spouting nonsense. If you can really summon Mrs. Zhao, then I, Tang Yuxiang, can summon Jiang Haijing, the director of Lin’an District!"

"Is that so?" Qin Long looked at him coolly. "I’d advise you to stop posturing. I’m afraid you won’t have any face left to save."

"I’d advise *you* not to put on an act."

A figure slowly approached from the other side of the room. He was a man of about twenty-five, dressed in a sharp suit and tie, a sneer plastered on his face. It was Wang Ming, the man Qin Long despised. That grating, high-pitched voice was all too familiar. As soon as he arrived, the family members scrambled to make way, clearing a prime spot for him. He swaggered in as if he were the true master of the Tang Family.

"Young Master Wang, what wind blew you in?"

"Yes, Young Master Wang!"

Instantly, many of the Tangs began to bow and scrape, fawning over him like dogs greeting their master.

"Old Master Tang, what’s all this?" Wang Ming asked with a smile after shooting a disdainful glance at Qin Long.

"You’re our future grandson-in-law. Of course you can join our internal meeting," Old Master Tang replied, his face beaming with gratification as he looked at Wang Ming.

"Grandfather, you’re too kind!" Wang Ming feigned respect with a series of nods.

"Young Master Wang, why don’t you sit here with me?" Tang Chuchu asked respectfully, batting her eyelashes at him.

Wang Ming pretentiously sat beside her, looking down on Qin Long with an air of superiority. Qin Long’s gaze turned icy. He hadn’t expected the Tang Family to be so shameless as to involve an outsider like Wang Ming just to deal with him. A deep anger surged within him.

Aside from Xuewu, the Tang Family is utterly worthless! I have nothing to hold me back now!

Qin Long slowly shook his head, sighing again and again. His original intention was simply to help the Tang Family, which would in turn make Xuewu’s life a little more comfortable. He also did it out of respect for their ancestor, Tang Rulan, a hero of immense integrity who had spent her vast fortune for the sake of the common people. Even his own master held great respect and admiration for her. Qin Long had long heard of Tang Rulan’s great name and had planned to support her descendants because of it.

But now, these descendants had broken his heart. Since they had chosen their own path to ruin, there was nothing more he could do. The Tang Family was nothing but a pack of opportunists, unworthy of his attention.

Alright, let’s see what you can do today. The worst that can happen is that I leave the Tang Family.

Having made his decision, a look of relief washed over Qin Long’s face. "Grandfather Tang, you may continue your public trial," he said calmly. "After all, I have yet to marry Xuewu, so it isn’t appropriate for me to interject."

Wang Ming accepted the cup of tea Tang Chuchu had personally brewed for him, surreptitiously brushing his hand against her palm as he took it. Tang Chuchu shuddered, her heart fluttering wildly.

"Young Master Wang, you are a great benefactor to our Tang Family!" Old Master Tang declared. "In my heart, I’ve long considered you the only candidate for my grandson-in-law!"

"That’s right! Young Master Wang, I, Tang Yuxiang, have long thought of you as my brother-in-law!" he added. "And even though you and my sister Xuewu haven’t officially married yet, the fiftieth anniversary is just around the corner. You’ll have the beautiful bride in your arms soon enough!"
