C470 Are You a Student of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Old Man Tang Zhechen had three sons, two daughters, and a few other siblings. All of them had their own descendants, so Tang Family could be said to be flourishing on the branch.
Tang Wan is the first granddaughter of Old Master Tang and is related to the big-mouthed Tang Jue. Tang Xin, who was still very young, was the only daughter of her Third Uncle, and she was the youngest.
After Elder Tang left the political stage, Tang Family became one of the fastest growing family businesses among the four great families. As Elder Tang's direct grandson, Tang Wan took the biggest piece of cake from him, which was the Feng Lin Group and its various subsidiaries.
However, Elder Tang didn't give all the authority to his trusted granddaughter, Tang Wan. At the same time, he also handed over the Yanjing and some of the northern businesses to his eldest grandson, the second eldest son, Tang Huang.
This course of action undoubtedly tested Tang Wan and Tang Huang, the two grandchildren who had the most potential. Whoever could develop the business that the family valued the most would become the future owners of the Tang Family.
However, because two candidates had been proposed, the family was no longer at ease. Some people stood on Tang Wan's side, while others stood on Tang Huang's. There were also some who were unwilling to let Elder Tang arrange things like this, so they hid in the shadows and shot cold arrows at the two of them or set them up.
After Elder Tang Ri had aged, the internal strife within the family became more and more obvious.
Just that, Elder Tang was powerless against this kind of situation, it was just like how ancient emperors handed over authority, no matter how much you tried to comfort them, their hearts were always greedy, and no one was willing to give up the temptation of being the Clan Master of the Tang Family.
"All these years, I rarely return to the Yanjing, I just don't like seeing the fake smile on the faces of the people in my family, and I don't want to listen to their ridicule, nor do I want to argue with them. I only care about the Maple Group in the south, and I also believe that grandfather will make a wise decision. But I didn't expect that in just a few months, Grandfather would suddenly become like this. "In this way, many problems will become even more acute when grandfather, who can suppress all kinds of conflicts in the family, falls." Tang Wan said to Yang Chen as she walked.
Yang Chen wasn't too surprised. In such a big family, it would be strange if there were no fights. He asked: "Who is that Tang Huang?"
Anger flashed across Tang Wan's beautiful eyes as she said, "He is a very capable manager, but I don't like him because grandfather wants him to compete with me. I just don't like his frivolous attitude. You'll know when you see him later …"
Tang Xin, who was following on the side, said angrily, "Big sis, I think it's Tang Huang's fault that grandpa suddenly got sick. He clearly felt that his grandfather favored you, which was why he tried to kill him. He's the kind of person who doesn't acknowledge money for power. "
"Tang Xin, don't spout nonsense. There is no conclusive evidence. No matter how much we dislike him, we can't make such an arbitrary conclusion." Tang Wan shook her head and sighed.
Tang Xin pouted, but her expression was full of certainty.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at a quiet and secluded courtyard. The flat and tidy lawn was planted with ginkgo and osmanthus flowers. The courtyard looked like an old courtyard, but the style was more modern. It should be something similar to an independent high-grade ward.
The moment he stepped into the yard, Yang Chen heard a low and hoarse shout.
"Ah …" Aaron! Aaron, don't go! "Don't go!"
He saw a slightly emaciated old man in a white cotton hospital gown. He was being supported by two tall female nurses, but the old man was trying desperately to grab the body of a man who was not far away.
The man also looked to be in his early thirties. He wore a casual black suit, and his body was tall and straight. His hair was combed very neatly, and his facial features were distinct. He was very manly. However, the corners of the man's mouth revealed a slight sneer, but it caused people to feel slightly disgusted.
Behind the man was a man and a woman, both of them wearing the same black suit jackets and white shirts. They looked like drivers and assistants.
"Tang Huang, do you still think that Grandpa's situation isn't bad enough?!"
Tang Wan snapped at the man as she walked into the courtyard.
Tang Huang turned around and laughed when he saw Tang Wan, "I was just wondering why that stinking girl ran away, she actually called for reinforcements. Tang Wan, even though you're my sister, you don't have the authority to care about how I look at grandpa, right? I came all the way from the Yanjing to see how grandfather's condition is. Didn't you say that you'd hired experts to treat grandfather's illness? Why is it that grandfather's condition hasn't improved yet, but it's only getting worse … Listen up, who's grandpa calling? "
Pain flashed across Tang Wan's eyes as she said coldly, "You don't need to care about that. You've already seen it. Please leave now."
"Tsk tsk, my big sister. How can you treat your little brother, who has come to visit your elder so enthusiastically, so as to let me have lunch or something!" Tang Huang shook his finger.
At this moment, a silent Yang Chen slowly walked in front of Old Master Tang, who was constantly roaring. Under the surprised gazes of the two nurses, Yang Chen gently caressed the back of the old man's neck.
For some reason, in the blink of an eye, the old man stopped shouting, sat back in his wheelchair and innocently fell asleep.
Tang Huang, who was arguing with Tang Wan, also frowned and looked over with a bit of hesitation. The scene suddenly became quiet.
Yang Chen looked up and smiled, "Don't worry, it's just an old man's sleeping place. Help him sleep and we can rest as well. It's getting late for lunch."
Tang Huang sized Yang Chen up from head to toe for a while, and then laughed strangely, "I say, how come Big Sis hasn't found a man in so many years? It turns out you like this young man's name." "Lad, do you study Chinese medicine? Could it be acupoints?"
"Tang Huang, don't talk nonsense. Yang Chen is my friend." Tang Wan said coldly.
Yang Chen threw up his hands, "Whatever you want. Didn't you say you want to stay here for lunch? Then let's go now."
Tang Huang grinned, "Interesting, but I don't want to stay here to eat now. Sigh, how would I be in the mood to eat after seeing my most beloved grandfather turn out like this? It's better if you eat with my big sister and comfort her. "
With that, he turned to Tang Wan and said, "Big sister, I realized that the southern region is better than the Yanjing area. The air is filled with fragrance, no wonder your skin is always so beautiful. I also plan on staying for a few more days, which is also why I often come to see if Grandfather is not. "
Forget it, Tang Huang signalled to his subordinates that there was a man and a woman behind him. He then led the way out without even looking back.
Watching Tang Huang leave the yard, Tang Xin, who had been unable to say anything, stomped her feet in anger, but there was nothing she could do.
Tang Wan bit her lip and didn't say anything. She just stepped forward and said to Yang Chen, "I'm sorry, he's that kind of person. Don't be angry."
"Of course I won't be angry. I can see that he can be considered a true villain. At the very least, he's more acceptable than a hypocrite." Yang Chen chuckled.
Tang Wan smiled. "You, too, have no sense of propriety. You see, there are people in the family like Tang Huang, and you talk more about hypocrites. That's why I didn't feel reassured, so I used a lot of strength to bring grandpa to Zhong Hai for treatment. I am worried that Grandfather will always be provoked by Tang Huang and the others, and his condition will become more and more serious. Furthermore, in Yanjing, his relationships are too complicated, too chaotic. "
Yang Chen nodded and walked around the yard in large strides. Suddenly, he stopped when he arrived next to a beam column in a room.
These pillars were made from pure incense and camphor wood. They were quite expensive, and there were even calligraphy and poems on them, which were quite elegant.
Yang Chen didn't look at the poetry. Instead, he reached out his hand and rubbed the pillar for a while. Finally, he used a bit of strength to move his finger …
Under the puzzled gaze of Tang Wan and the others, Yang Chen broke off a small piece of wood chip from the pillar …
"This is?"
Yang Chen smiled. On the side of the sawdust, there seemed to be a silver-gray little thing. It was the pocket-sized bug that he found in the room where Professor Ander died.
