Chapter 1627: It’s Time to Form A Family!

Seeing the jade hairpin suddenly appearing on the news and being auctioned in two days, Ling Hui felt very upset.

Fortunately, she now knew where the hairpin was.

No matter how much money it would cost her, she would take the hairpin back.

Dai Lang had the same thoughts as Ling Hui. He pointed at the TV and blinked at Ling Hui.

“Dad, don’t worry. I won’t let our things fall into the hands of outsiders. I’ll arrange my schedule and rush to Italy on the day of the auction.”

Dai Lang nodded.

…

In the capital.

After Tang Xi returned, he had been busy with the company’s matters.

He had not rested for several days.

His private phone was also switched off.

On this day, he turned on his phone after he was done with the things he needed to settle.

There were many missed calls and messages.

Some were from young men asking him out for a drink, some were from Grandma, and…

Tang Xi saw the message from Ling Hui’s number and his expression froze for a moment.

He did not expect her to send him a message when his attitude toward her had been so bad.

Tang Xi put down his phone and leaned back against the chair.

He took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and bit it between his lips. After lighting it, he narrowed his eyes and took a puff.

The smoke blurred his handsome face and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

When he was almost done smoking, he looked down at the message she had sent.

“I won’t trouble you anymore. Thank you for what you’ve done for me. I hope you can be happy!”

He was not too surprised when he saw the contents of the message.

She was cold and arrogant. It had not been easy for her to swallow her pride while he had been hospitalized.

He had ignored her and had even hurt her self-esteem. How could she continue?

When she saw his diary, she felt grateful and guilty toward him. She might have had positive feelings toward him, but she would not have liked him.

He knew that he was not the type of person she liked because he was a playboy.

Tang Xi closed the message and rubbed his temples with his long fingers. Then, he got up and left the office.

Fang Ye stood at the door and when he saw Tang Xi coming out, he said, “Young Master, the Old Madam called your private number an hour ago but couldn’t get through. She called me and asked you to go back to the old mansion for dinner.”

Tang Xi hummed nonchalantly.

…

Back at the Tang family’s old estate.

There was a yellow sports car parked in the yard. It was the latest Koenigsegg model. It was extremely low and crawled on the ground like a cheetah waiting to strike. It was arrogant, outstanding, and perfect.

Apart from working, Tang Xi’s biggest hobby was racing sports cars.

When he saw the latest Koenigsegg model, he could not help but take a few more glances.

At this moment, the door of the sports car opened and a beautiful woman with wavy hair and flaming red lips got out of the car.

The woman was wearing a fiery red dress that was bright and ostentatious. The moment she got out of the car, Tang Xi was dazed for a few seconds.

He thought that Ling Hui had come.

When the woman approached, Tang Xi realized that it was not Ling Hui.

This woman was not as exquisite as Ling Hui.

She was wearing a long red dress, but it was not as eye-catching as what Ling Hui would wear.

“Hello, Young Master Tang. I’m Lin Yanyan.”

Lin Yanyan?

The beloved daughter of the Lin Corporation.

Tang Xi nodded, looking relaxed and uninterested.

“I heard that Young Master Tang likes to play with sports cars. If there’s a chance next time, let’s go to Panshan Road to compete?”

Tang Xi had one hand in the pocket of his pants and a faint smile appeared on his lips. “Miss Lin knows how to race?”

“When I was studying abroad, I practised whenever I had nothing to do. However, I can’t compare to Young Master Tang. I still want to learn from you when I have the chance.”

Tang Xi had seen countless women with his phoenix-like eyes, so he could naturally see Lin Yanyan’s motive.

She was interested in him, but she was different from other women who wanted to get close to him. She knew how to dive into the topics he was interested in, moving slowly and methodically.

“The two of you actually met?” At this moment, an old voice sounded.

Old Madam Tang walked out of the house and Auntie Ping, who had come over after work, supported her.

Auntie Ping was Tang Xi’s mother’s best friend and had a close relationship with the Tang family all these years. After Mother Tang left, other than working, Auntie Ping would come to the old mansion to chat with the Old Madam and make delicious food for the Tang family.

After Mother Tang gave birth to Tang Xi, she did not like her son like other mothers. It was Auntie Ping who had taken care of Tang Xi.

To Tang Xi, Auntie Ping was like a mother.

Lin Yanyan saw the Old Madam and Auntie Ping and went forward with a smile. “Grandma, Auntie Ping, we meet again.”

The Old Madam held Lin Yanyan’s hand happily and patted the back of her hand, her expression gentle and kind. “Yes, Miss Lin is getting prettier.”

“Grandma, you promised to call me Yanyan.” Lin Yanyan smiled coyly.

“Yanyan.”

“Grandma, I originally thought that my name was quite ordinary, but when I hear it coming from Grandma, I immediately feel that it sounds really nice.”

“This girl…”

The Old Madam was amused by Lin Yanyan.

“The food should be ready soon. Let’s all go in!” After Lin Yanyan supported the old lady, Auntie Ping went forward and took the briefcase from Tang Xi’s hands. She looked at him with heartache. “You must be quite tired recently. You’ve lost a lot of weight. Come in, Auntie Ping made some bone broth for you.”

…

After dinner, the Old Madam asked Tang Xi to take Lin Yanyan out for a walk.

Lin Yanyan chatted about topics that Tang Xi was interested in. She must have done a lot of homework. Every time they talked, Tang Xi would reply with quite a few words.

The atmosphere was not too awkward.

The sky gradually darkened. After Lin Yanyan left, the Old Madam called Tang Xi to the living room sofa.

“Ah Xi, Grandma wants to discuss two things with you today.”

Tang Xi raised his eyebrows. “Grandma, tell me about it.”

“One is your father. Your father told you about your mother. After she left, it was your Auntie Ping who took care of the Tang family. What I want to do is to matchmake the two of them. Your father can’t be single forever.”

Tang Xi furrowed his eyebrows and remained silent.

“As for the other one, you’re not young anymore. It’s time for you to start a family. I think Lin Yanyan is not bad. We’ve had ties with the Lin family for a long time. A few years ago, your Uncle Lin thought that you were too fickle and didn’t agree to Yanyan marrying into our family. However, Yanyan has her own opinions and likes you. Listen to Grandma and try dating her, okay?”

Tang Xi’s tall body leaned lazily against the sofa. He did not reject the Old Madam’s suggestion. “Father can decide for himself regarding his own matters. Let me consider my matters again.”

The Old Madam saw that Tang Xi was no longer like before, changing the topic or rejecting him the moment she mentioned starting a family. There had been a big change this time.

Liu Ping’s suggestion was right. If Tang Xi knew about his mother, he would give up on Dai Lang’s daughter.
