Chapter 467 I'm not as naive as him

The already tense atmosphere froze after those words.

Li Zhishen glanced at his wife, his heart filled with a turbulent mix of emotions.

"I'm only here today to bring Tang Bai back. I don't want to talk to you about those painful things from the past." The Tang family head changed the subject, knowing that continuing the conversation would be detrimental to him. "If you really want to know, you can come to the Tang family another day to discuss it in detail."

Neither Jiang An nor Li Zhishen spoke.

The head of the Tang family maintained his persona, his expression remaining calm: "But I have absolutely not done anything to betray my wife, much less harm Tang Bai's mother."

Jiang An didn't believe a single word of these words.

But whether or not he believed it was not important to the Tang family head.

It's not that no one has talked about it over the years, but what was the result?

Apart from Qin An and Li Zhishen, who are both lacking in emotional intelligence, no one else would say a word to him; they would only talk about official business and policies.

Relationships are the least important thing in this circle.

For the next ten minutes or so, none of them spoke to each other. Jiang An took Sui Sui to play, while Li Zhishen took Old Master Qin for a walk in the courtyard.

The Tang family head sat in the living room with his bodyguards and butler, feeling extremely awkward.

As time passed little by little.

The head of the Tang family was getting restless.

He took out his phone and called Tang Bai, hoping he would come back soon.

beep--

Then a voice came through the phone.

A cell phone rang outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Bai and Mo Mo escorted Jiang Ruan home.

Upon seeing him, the Tang family head's expression darkened. He stood up and called out to him in a deep, powerful voice: "Tang Bai."

This unfilial son still knows to come back.

He doesn't answer the phone or reply to messages.

They really don't respect him at all!

Tang Bai and the others looked over at the sound.

The first to speak was Jiang Ruan, who was standing in front of the two. She was wearing a smart casual suit, and her smooth hair was tied up in a bun at the back of her head, giving her a strong aura.

She took a few steps toward the Tang family head: "Who are you?"

"I am Tang Bai's father, Tang Sheng, the head of the Tang family." The head of the Tang family had a serious expression and a stern face.

Jiang Ruan glanced at Tang Bai.

Tang Bai said calmly, "I do have a blood father, but he severed ties with me many years ago, saying that I am no longer a member of the Tang family and that I should not say that I am related to him in public."

"You..." The Tang family head wanted to get angry.

Jiang Ruan gestured with her eyes: "Please, Mr. Tang."

The head of the Tang family lowered his breath slightly and emphasized, "I really am his father."

Jiang Ruan didn't say anything.

Having been exposed to the workplace, she can be quite intimidating when she's silent.

"I have a few words to say to you." Based on their previous conversation, the Tang family head roughly knew what kind of temperament Jiang Ruan's family had, so he focused his attention on Tang Bai. "I'll leave after I finish speaking."

Tang Bai ignored her and said to Jiang Ruan in a nonchalant tone, "Miss, are we ready for dinner after a long day?"

“Okay,” Jiang Ruan said. “I’ll call my mom and grandpa.”

Tang Bai smiled slightly: "Okay."

Seeing that he was being ignored, the head of the Tang family was somewhat embarrassed.

Before they left, Tang Bai used his trump card: "It concerns your mother, don't you want to talk about it?"

Tang Bai paused.

Jiang Ruan and Mo Mo glanced at him subconsciously.

“What I’m talking about with you is related to your mother,” the Tang family head said, his eyes cloudy yet shrewd. “If you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t force you.”

Tang Bai stood there without moving.

The two sides were at a stalemate.

"If you want to talk, go outside and talk. After you're done talking, then..." The Tang family head continued, seeing that he didn't speak.

“I’m not the eighteen-year-old Tang Bai, I’m not as naive as him.” Tang Bai met his gaze, his nonchalant demeanor carrying a hint of nonchalance. “If you really came to me for my mother, I’ll eat this place up.”

Patriarch Tang: "..."

The words that were about to come out of Tang's mouth stopped there.

Tang Bai continued unhurriedly, "I've already learned what kind of person you are over the years. There's no need for you to say such hypocritical things in front of me. It's disgusting to yourself and to me."

"Say it again." How could the Tang family head tolerate the child who used to be under his thumb becoming so sharp-tongued and rebellious?

"You like listening to this?" Tang Bai was no longer the same Tang Bai. He was extremely calm in the face of this. "But I have no interest in repeating it again. If you want to hear it in the future, remember to stop and record it. You can listen to it slowly when you get back."

The head of the Tang family's chest heaved with anger.

I never imagined that Tang Bai would turn out like this after all these years.

"If there's nothing else, please don't disturb us while we're having dinner." Tang Bai said to him with a barbed tone, "We only have a few pairs of chopsticks here, and we can't afford to get you even half a pair."

"Are you sure you want to talk to me like this?" The Tang family head's face suddenly darkened.

Tang Bai didn't reply.

Regarding this father.

He didn't like it at all.

"What I'm about to tell you isn't about your mother," the Tang family head said, seeing that only Jiang Ruan and the others were present. "But it is related to your mother. If you don't want to hear it, I won't try to persuade you further."

After saying that, he led his men outside.

After taking only two steps, he said again, "I'll wait for you outside for ten minutes. If you don't come out in ten minutes, don't blame me for not telling you."

He left after saying that.

Decisive and efficient.

"People who only talk tough usually only talk tough." Mo Mo said something that seemed like nonsense, but was actually quite true.

Jiang Ruan agreed, "Mm."

Tang Bai looked around.

After thinking it over carefully, I finally said, "How about I go out and take a look?"

Jiang Ruan didn't interfere: "It's up to you to decide."

Tang Bai left when the ten minutes were almost up.

Only Tang Bai and the Tang family remained outside the garden.

Seeing him facing so many people from the Tang family all by himself, Mo Mo stood by the window and said to Jiang Ruan, who was sitting on the sofa, "Boss, don't worry, the few people that the Tang family head brought can't beat Tang Bai."

“I’m not worried,” Jiang Ruan said truthfully.

Mo Mo didn't believe it: "You're lying."

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Mo Mo: "If you weren't worried, you would have gone upstairs. You wouldn't be waiting here."

Jiang Ruan said seriously, "I haven't eaten yet."

A series of question marks flashed in Mo Mo's eyes.

A moment of confusion appeared on the faces of the human and the machine.

"I don't want the Tang family to come in and overturn the table halfway through the meal." Jiang Ruan glanced outside and saw that Tang Bai was just as nonchalant as they were, showing no signs of emotional pressure from the people opposite them.

He looked calmly at the "father" in front of him, and said lightly, "Speak, what is it?"

"Go home." Those were the two simple words from the Tang family head.

Tang Bai looked up.

He chuckled softly.

With one hand casually in his pocket, he slowly repeated his words: "Go home?"

"Yes." The Tang family head's eyes were unfathomable, and his voice was deep.

"Have you forgotten what happened back then?" Tang Bai reminded him. "You said yourself that from now on I am no longer a member of the Tang family, and everything about the Tang family has nothing to do with me."
