Heavenly Dragon Doctor Son-in-Law-Chapter 180 - 181 Taking Tang Yuehua to Buy a Mansion

"Even Wang Ming could only look up to a big shot like that." In Tang Yuehua’s eyes, Wang Ming was already an impressive young master in Jiangzhong. Compared to this powerhouse who made waves in Jiangzhong’s underworld, however, he still fell short.

"Yes, even Wang Ming couldn’t do something like this," Tang Xuewu agreed after a moment of thought. "I really wonder who Han Tao offended." She recalled the events of that night, her mind filled with doubt.

"I’m afraid only high-ranking government officials would know anything about that," Tang Yuehua explained, taking another apple. "After all, even they wouldn’t dare to provoke him. There’s no way we could guess who he is."

"You’re right." Tang Xuewu nodded with a smile, then said slowly, "Alright, let’s drop it. By the way, Auntie, how have you been lately? Grandfather... he hasn’t..."

Tang Xuewu knew her aunt, Tang Yuehua, was being given the cold shoulder. Tang Yuehua had gotten pregnant before marriage and had borne everything alone, refusing to reveal the identity of Xuexue’s father. Old Master Tang had always believed she had tarnished the family’s reputation and treated her coldly ever since. The gossip from outsiders had only made him ignore the daughter he once cherished.

"Sigh, Auntie, actually, Grandfather..." Tang Xuewu began. "He has always been very good to Xuexue, often slipping her money. You’re still in his heart; he’s just too proud to back down.

"With your abilities, you are far more capable than the other members of the Tang Family. It’s only because of Xuexue’s father that..." she finished with a sigh.

Tang Yuehua understood her father. Furthermore, Tang Sen’s children, Tang Yuxiang and Tang Chuchu, always spoke coldly to her, fearing she would compete with them for the family inheritance.

"Xuewu, I actually have a favor to ask you..." Tang Yuehua’s pretty face was filled with hesitation, but she finally gritted her teeth and spoke. Although she was Tang Xuewu’s aunt, they were as close as sisters, with little age difference between them. She often thought of her niece as her best friend.

"Auntie, whatever it is, just ask. Qin Long and I will definitely stand by you!" Tang Xuewu declared, patting her chest, her beautiful eyes filled with determination. She knew her aunt well; she would never ask for help unless she was in real trouble.

With a conflicted expression, Tang Yuehua bit her lip and said slowly, "Xuewu, I want to talk to Qin Long alone. Is that okay?"

Hearing this, Tang Xuewu’s expression shifted slightly. She had never expected Tang Yuehua to make such a request. Considering her aunt’s first-rate figure and appearance, the fact that she was taking the initiative to approach Qin Long made her feel a pang of jealousy, though she didn’t understand why.

Xuewu, what are you thinking? How could Auntie be that kind of woman? Besides, Qin Long isn’t my husband. Even if something did happen between them, I’d have no right to interfere...

Tang Xuewu mocked herself inwardly but forced a calm smile. "Alright, why don’t I take Xuexue to buy some snacks?"

Xuexue obediently took Tang Xuewu’s hand, and the two left with a skip in their step.

Looking embarrassed, Tang Yuehua slowly pulled a chair over and sat down beside Qin Long.

"Aunt Yuehua, what’s wrong?" Qin Long asked. He felt sorry for this woman but had no other feelings for her. Despite Tang Yuehua’s fine figure and the unique charm of a mature woman, he simply wasn’t interested.

"Qin Long, I have a favor to ask of you," Tang Yuehua said, biting her red lip. "I want to use that five million to buy a courtyard house somewhere else."

Qin Long was momentarily baffled. Five million? A moment’s thought reminded him that it was the money the Jin Family’s young master had transferred for Xuexue’s expenses.

"Oh, Aunt Yuehua, that money was always yours to begin with," Qin Long said, waving his hand dismissively. "You can use it however you please. You don’t need to tell me."

Five million was a colossal sum for Tang Yuehua, but to Qin Long, it was nothing.

"Qin Long, you..." Tang Yuehua’s pretty face flushed with embarrassment. If Qin Long hadn’t intervened, she couldn’t imagine what would have become of her and Xuexue. Xuexue might have even lost her spot at school.

"Haha, it’s a small matter," Qin Long said, his firm tone making it impossible for her to refuse. "By the way, why the sudden thought of buying a house?" he asked, looking at her quizzically.

Tang Yuehua met his gaze and sighed with a look of helplessness, offering no explanation.

"Miss Yuehua, if you’re facing difficulties, you have to tell us," Qin Long insisted. "Xuewu and I won’t turn our backs on you. We’re not like those snobs in the Tang Family." He knew that while Tang Yuehua seemed gentle on the surface, she was incredibly strong-willed. She wouldn’t ask for help unless she was on the verge of collapse or facing an overwhelming crisis.

Tang Yuehua fidgeted with the hem of her skirt for a long time, lost in thought, before she slowly looked up at Qin Long.

"Xuexue is already over six years old; she’s not a little kid anymore.

"On the surface, my father and older brothers don’t say anything, but deep down, they resent me for getting pregnant out of wedlock and for being unwilling to even mention Xuexue’s father.

"Over the years, Xuexue has suffered a lot with me and has had to endure plenty of scorn from the family. That little girl is just like me; she bears everything in silence, never wanting to show her true feelings to me. It breaks my heart how sensible she is.

"My older brother has had people secretly warn me many times. Xuexue and I want to buy a courtyard house outside, a place where just the two of us can live peacefully."

Hearing this, Qin Long sighed helplessly. It was clear that Tang Yuehua’s life in the Tang Family was exceedingly difficult. This was precisely why he had given her the entire five million in the first place—to give her a way out, to ensure she wouldn’t be pushed into a corner by life.

"Is five million enough? If not, I can transfer you some more," Qin Long said, looking at her with concern. "You and Xuexue should buy a small courtyard house for yourselves."

"No, no, that’s more than enough." Tang Yuehua’s face was filled with gratitude, and she thanked him profusely.

Later, Tang Yuehua told Tang Xuewu about her plan. Xuewu gave her full support, even offering to help her pick out a house. Since Tang Xuewu knew people in real estate, she could give Tang Yuehua good advice and help her avoid getting swindled.

"Perfect. We still need a marital home," Qin Long remarked, looking at Tang Xuewu with a mischievous grin.

"Who said anything about marrying you?" Tang Xuewu’s face flushed red as she scoffed. "Let’s talk again after the payment for the Yaolong Group’s order comes through."

She glanced at her family’s dilapidated little courtyard and shook her head helplessly. Who wouldn’t want a big house of their own? It would provide a great sense of security. But they had to do their best with what they had. As things stood, their family had no money to move.

"Don’t worry about the money," Qin Long said, patting his chest confidently.

「Jiangzhong, Jade Dragon Estates Sales Hall.」

"Qin Long, have you gone mad?"
