Chapter 468 Why would a stranger help you?

"If you hadn't done those outrageous things, would I have kicked you out of the family?" The head of the Tang family put on airs, his face serious.

Tang Bai put one hand in his pocket and gave a light snort.

The head of the Tang family frowned. After so many years, he no longer understood Tang Bai as he did back then, and naturally did not understand what this meant. He could only adopt the demeanor of a father: "What kind of attitude is this?"

"I don't think what happened back then was anything heinous." Tang Bai stood calmly, quite different from the dramatic and funny person he usually was. "It's only natural for a child to protect his mother."

"You!" The Tang family head had a problem with him.

Tang Bai didn't want to talk about it anymore, and could tell at a glance that he hadn't changed at all: "If you still want to talk about business, then don't bring up these things. You probably didn't come to me just to argue."

Upon hearing this, the Tang family patriarch's heart sank.

If he had no other choice, why would he come to Tang Bai?

"Speak, what is it?" Tang Bai repeated what he had just said.

"You're needed at home." The head of the Tang family said sternly, his eyes looking down at him with a commanding tone. "Resign from your job here and come back with me. We have something to arrange for you."

Tang Bai remained expressionless: "You have one last chance."

The head of the Tang family was about to reprimand him, but when he saw Tang Bai's extremely calm face, he forcibly swallowed his words back.

He knew very well that the current Tang Bai was significantly different from the one in the past. If he tried to beat around the bush with him again, given his personality, Tang Bai would probably just turn around and leave, and then have the Jiang family kick him out.

If that's the case, then his trip was in vain.

"That man ran off with the money and also took some of the company's confidential research." The head of the Tang family felt a weight on his chest, his eyes downcast. "The company... is on its last legs."

Tang Bai glanced at him.

The next second.

A casual question rang out, feigning ignorance: "Who is that person?"

The head of the Tang family remained silent.

Tang Bai didn't urge him, he just watched him.

As if knowing this was a secret that couldn't be kept hidden, Tang Sheng thought for a long time before speaking: "Tell Auntie."

"Aunt Xiang?" Tang Bai repeated, his gaze shifting to her with a hint of mockery. "Isn't that your most beloved and cared-for partner? You two had such a good relationship, would she really run away with the money?"

Even after many years.

He still remembers that not long after his mother passed away, he brought this person into the house and held a wedding, and also brought back two older brothers and sisters who were three years older than him.

He knew all too well what being three years older meant.

When he went to ask Tang Sheng, he was scolded by him, and afterwards he joined forces with that person to drive him out of the Tang family.

Hearing his words, Tang Sheng knew what he meant, but he had no choice but to ask him to go back: "When do you plan to come back with me?"

"When did I ever agree to go?" Tang Bai retorted. "Don't you have a good son and a good daughter? Why don't you let them go?"

Tang Sheng looked somewhat embarrassed.

Thinking about what that woman and those two bastards did fills me with resentment!

"Or did your good son and daughter also run off with their mother and pocket the money?" Tang Bai's words were like a knife stuck in Tang Sheng's chest, tearing out what he hadn't said and putting it out in the open.

Tang Shengchui's hands clenched tighter and tighter at his sides.

A surge of anger and frustration welled up within him.

Tang Bai is skilled in micro-expressions and psychology. With just one glance, he can tell that the situation is probably very close to what he said.

"What do you want in return for me to come back with you?" Tang Sheng changed his attitude.

"I'm not going back no matter what." Tang Bai's tone remained nonchalant. "Why should I, a complete stranger, help you with something your good son and daughter wouldn't do?"

That's all for now.

Tang Bai is no longer used as a respectful title.

The person in front of me is really unworthy of being an elder.

"Don't forget that part of the company is also your mother's hard work. Can you bear to watch her business just disappear like this?" Tang Sheng was filled with anger, but he suppressed it because he needed Tang Sheng's help.

"It won't be gone," Tang Bai said firmly.

Tang Sheng was about to speak.

"I will have Miss help her achieve her dream," Tang Bai said again, his dark eyes filled with seriousness. "As for your company that is on the verge of bankruptcy, you can handle it yourself."

"You!" Tang Sheng was furious.

Tang Bai glanced inside and saw Jiang Ruan and Mo Mo looking at him from the window. He then said his last words: "Miss is waiting for me to have dinner, so I won't see you off."

He left after saying that.

I didn't feel any regret at all.

Seeing that Tang Bai wouldn't stop until he used his trump card, Tang Sheng suppressed his emotions and said, "After this is done, I'll return your mother's shares to you!"

Tang Bai stopped: "All of them."

"Okay." Tang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and began to talk to him, "As long as you get the company through this crisis, I'll immediately give you all of your mother's shares..."

"All of it means everything you have." Tang Bai turned to look at him, speaking very clearly.

Tang Sheng was stunned for a moment.

After understanding his meaning, Tang Bai's face instantly turned cold. Before he could get angry, Tang Bai stepped inside, leaving behind his last words: "Go back and think about it slowly. Contact me when you have a result."

After the two finished talking.

Mo Mo, who had been looking out through the floor-to-ceiling window, turned to Jiang Ruan beside him and asked seriously, "Boss, can we start eating now?"

"I'll go call Mom." Jiang Ruan breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest.

She was quite worried that Tang Bai would get into a conflict with the head of the Tang family.

Tang Bai may seem silly, dramatic, and occasionally a bit unserious, but he is a very loyal and righteous person. If he were to fight with his blood father like enemies, he probably wouldn't feel good about it.

This can be seen from the phone call he received earlier.

Dinner that night was unusually quiet.

Everyone's gaze unconsciously turned towards Tang Bai.

We've been together for so long, we've practically become family.

After dinner.

Jiang Ruan was just about to talk to Tang Bai when Tang Bai came to find her first.

In the study.

The two sat facing each other.

Seeing the undisguised concern in Jiang Ruan's eyes, Tang Bai smiled and felt relaxed: "I'm fine. I might have been a little upset before I told you, but I'm not affected anymore after talking to you guys."

"That's good." Jiang Ruan wasn't very good at comforting people. "How did your chat go?"

Tang Bai: "For now, I have the upper hand."

Jiang Ruan: "Hmm?"

Tang Bai recounted his conversation with Tang Sheng, focusing only on the key points and the requests he made to Tang Sheng, omitting the messy things at home.

After listening, Jiang Ruan already understood: "What do you need me to do?"

"Just one day off is fine." Tang Bai had a plan for everything. "My understanding of the Tang family is still based on my teenage years. I need to learn more about the current situation of the Tang family."

Only after understanding the situation can he negotiate terms with Tang Sheng.

“Okay.” Jiang Ruan said without any hesitation. “I’ll have Mo Mo come with you.”

Tang Bai: "No need."

Jiang Ruan: "Tomorrow I'm going to the Qin Group to learn about the project. I'll stay there from morning till night. It's very safe there."

Even the most foolish person wouldn't lay a hand on her within the Qin Group.

Besides, Qin Mo had warned me that no one would be that stupid.
