Heavenly Dragon Doctor Son-in-Law-Chapter 233 - 234: Zhao Ruoying Being Tricked!

Wang Xiuhe gritted her teeth, flying into a rage in her office.

"Mom, it’s okay if we didn’t get the partnership. The Wang Family isn’t desperate for a single client like the Aixue Group," Wang Ming commented nonchalantly as he sipped his red wine.

"You fool, what do you know?!" Wang Xiuhe’s face contorted ferociously as she roared at her disappointing son. "The Aixue Group is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface! They must be plotting something in Jiangzhong. If we don’t take precautions now, we’ll be the ones who end up dead."

Wang Ming still appeared indifferent, simply shrugging his shoulders.

"If it weren’t for Yang Xue telling me not to stir up trouble," Wang Xiuhe continued, clenching her fists so hard her eyes seemed to spit fire, "I absolutely would not let that bitch Liu Qing off the hook! Even if they’re a mighty dragon, we have to show them what we local snakes are capable of!"

Even though the Aixue Group had a remarkable background, the Wang Family was not to be trifled with. If it came to a confrontation, using our connections and relationships, couldn’t we completely shatter the Aixue Group?

However, Yang Xue had instructed her to keep a low profile during this period. She naturally dared not defy Yang Xue’s request.

"Mom, don’t be mad." Wang Ming bowed and chuckled sheepishly beside her. "Once I take possession of Tang Xuewu, the secrets of the Tang Family Ancestral House will belong to our Wang Family. By then, with the wealth the Tang Family has accumulated over the years, will we still have to fear the Aixue Group?"

"Then hurry up and take down that little bitch Tang Xuewu!" she snapped. "On the day of the fiftieth-anniversary celebration, make sure you make it a done deal! Otherwise, don’t you dare call me your mother! I refuse to be humiliated by you!"

Wang Xiuhe stormed out furiously. Wang Ming immediately contacted his cronies to start planning.

「The next day.」

A major piece of news had been spreading through Jiangzhong for the past few days. Wang Ming, the young master of the Jiangzhong Wang Family, was planning to propose to his beloved at the Sky Garden of the Longquan Hotel. All the girls who had ever shared an intimate moment with him were thrilled, each believing she was about to marry into a wealthy family and become a phoenix.

And today, the Jiangzhong media dropped a bombshell. The girl Wang Ming was proposing to was none other than Tang Xuewu, the number one beauty of Jiangzhong and the heiress of the Tang Family.

This news spread through Jiangzhong like a tidal wave. Everyone knew Tang Xuewu was widely considered the most beautiful woman in the city, with a flawless face and figure. However, they also knew that she had a disabled fiancé, whom she had been personally caring for for nearly three years. For Wang Ming to still intend to steal her away, knowing all this... this was shaping up to be a ruthless proposal.

Instantly, countless people were intrigued. It’s an age-old truth that people love watching a good drama, and the bigger the better.

「Elsewhere.」

In the Zhao Family villa, Zhao Ruoying sat on the sofa, answering a call.

"What? Wang Ming wants to propose to Tang Xuewu... during the Tang Family’s fiftieth-anniversary celebration?" Zhao Ruoying shot to her feet, a cold sweat breaking out across her body. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Yes, President Zhao. Everyone in Jiangzhong knows by now," came the unwavering voice of her assistant over the phone.

"This...!" Zhao Ruoying clenched her teeth and asked again, "Are you certain the information is accurate?" Her head was beaded with sweat, and her body trembled with fear.

Isn’t Tang Xuewu Young Master Qin’s lover? Is Wang Ming really so eager to die? Isn’t this an open attempt to steal a bride? So, Qin Long and Wang Ming are rivals in love! I did something extremely foolish last time!

She was kicking herself as she suddenly slumped back onto the couch, recalling her last interaction with Wang Ming at the Tang Family’s company. No wonder Wang Ming had been shamelessly sticking to her; he was trying to usurp the credit for helping the Tang Family. At the time, she had wondered why he was being so kind, only to now realize the bastard was using her. The realization hit her like a bolt of lightning.

"Wang Ming! You son of a bitch, don’t you dare drag me down with you!" she shrieked. "Someone! Get the private jet! Head to the Tang Family at top speed!"

Zhao Ruoying stumbled as she rushed outside and shouted.

"Mrs. Zhao, what’s the matter? Please, don’t be in such a rush," said the female housekeeper at her side, who had never seen the "Iron Lady" Zhao Ruoying so flustered.

"Hurry! If we’re late, the Zhao Family is fucking doomed!" Zhao Ruoying yelled at the housekeeper, her eyes practically shooting flames.

She, Zhao Ruoying, was an incredibly astute woman, yet she had been manipulated. She had completely failed to see through Wang Ming’s malicious intentions toward Tang Xuewu. When that damn Qin Long makes his move, he’ll definitely annihilate Wang Ming and the Wang Family. If we pick the wrong side now, the Zhao Family will be wiped out before we even know what happened!

The thought of being played by Wang Ming made her rage soar.

"Wang Ming, you son of a bitch! As treacherous as his mother!" Zhao Ruoying cursed incessantly as she boarded the private jet, a stark contrast to her usually gentle demeanor.

"Mrs. Zhao, what’s gotten into you?" The housekeeper, now sitting at the plane’s controls, was utterly baffled.

"Enough with the pointless questions! Just get to the Tang Family, now!" Zhao Ruoying said, sweating profusely in her urgency. "I must go and clarify things with Young Master Qin in person!"

She respected Qin Long so profoundly primarily because he had saved her daughter’s life. But there was another, more terrifying reason. When Qin Long had dealt with Han Bing, he was taken to the police station. Yet before his seat was even warm, Wu Mulan from the Jiangzhong Surveillance Division had personally intervened and rescued him.

The power behind him is unimaginable! And everyone knows Wu Mulan is the Empress of Jiangzhong’s elite!

Because of this, Zhao Ruoying dared not show even a hint of arrogance toward Qin Long. The most urgent task now was to explain face-to-face how she had been used by Wang Ming.

"Mrs. Zhao, should we go to the Tang Family Manor or the Tang Family’s company?" the female housekeeper asked, looking at Zhao Ruoying with a puzzled expression.

"Who is the current head of the Tang Family company?" Zhao Ruoying asked, forcing herself to calm down and think clearly.

"Tang Sen is the CEO, but Old Master Tang still makes the final call on all important matters," the housekeeper reported after a moment of thought.

"Good. Go directly to the Tang Family Manor. We’ll find Old Master Tang," Zhao Ruoying decided, waving her hand. She had to clarify things with the old master himself.

「Meanwhile, at the Tang Family Manor.」

Old Master Tang was in the conference room with seven or eight core family members, including Tang Sen, Tang Yuxiang, and Tang Chuchu. Though not particularly competent, they were exceptionally skilled at flattery. They took turns showering the old master with praise, making him feel on top of the world.

Old Master Tang saw them merely as his children and grandchildren, so he never guarded against them or considered their ulterior motives. They, in turn, knew his personality perfectly and only ever told him what he wanted to hear. Over time, he grew increasingly fond of people like them. In a family as large as the Tangs, those who didn’t suck up simply didn’t get opportunities.

Tang Xuewu and Tang De, on the other hand, were dedicated to their work and disliked flattering others. As a result, they were gradually marginalized, while Old Master Tang grew to prefer the company of Tang Chuchu and Tang Yuxiang.
