"Today's guests are all from prominent families, as well as various wealthy businessmen who have business dealings with my Tang family. Don't cause any trouble then. Grandpa has just recovered and cannot be agitated!"
Tang Xinwan, driving a Maserati on the way to the Tang family's old residence, couldn't help but remind Ye Cangtian.
It was a joyous occasion for the Tang family today, not only celebrating Grandpa Tang's early birthday but also for his recovery, hence the large number of prominent families and wealthy businessmen attending the banquet.
She didn't want Ye Cangtian to cause any incidents at the banquet, which would not only affect the Tang family's reputation but also worry her grandfather and upset his health.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Ye Cangtian patted his chest and assured her, "Don't you trust me? I never look for trouble!"
I just don't trust you! Tang Xinwan couldn't be bothered to nag anymore, only hoping that the banquet would proceed smoothly today!
Suddenly recalling something, she asked, "I asked you to prepare a gift earlier, did you buy it?"
Ye Cangtian confidently replied, "Don't worry, I prepared it long ago!"
Seeing his confident expression, Tang Xinwan couldn't help but worry. Was this guy really reliable?
Although Grandpa wouldn't care about the value of the gift, with all the wealthy individuals attending, if the gift was too embarrassing, how could she hold her head up in front of the guests?
Moreover, she also knew that Ye Cangtian might not have much money, so he wouldn't buy anything too expensive.
Thinking of this, she regretted it, saying, "This is my fault, I should have made time to go buy the gift with you yesterday!"
It was too late to regret now, as they were almost at the Tang family's courtyard, and with the birthday banquet imminent, it was too late to go back and buy a gift.
Hopefully, he would be reliable this time! Tang Xinwan glanced at Ye Cangtian, then drove the car to the entrance of the Tang family courtyard.
Outside the Tang family courtyard, many luxury cars were already parked, belonging to wealthy businessmen and prominent families from Yangzhou City.
Her uncle, Tang Yongchang, was at the entrance welcoming guests.
Upon seeing Tang Xinwan and Ye Cangtian get out of the car, Tang Yongchang's smile disappeared, and he let out a displeased snort.
He had always coveted control of Haitian Pharmaceutical, so he had always opposed Ye Cangtian and Tang Xinwan's marriage. However, now that Grandpa had woken up, it would be even more difficult to obtain control of Haitian Pharmaceutical legitimately.
Today was Grandpa's birthday. If not for the large number of guests present, he would never have let Ye Cangtian enter their Tang family courtyard.
"Nieceling Xinwan, today is Grandpa's birthday. Keep your fiancé in check and don't disgrace our Tang family in front of the guests!" Tang Yongchang said with a stern face.
Tang Xinwan frowned but still replied, "Uncle, don't worry, that won't happen!"
Tang Yongchang gave Ye Cangtian a displeased look and snorted through his nose. But soon, he saw a car approaching in the distance, so he smiled and went to greet them, "Divine Doctor Mu is here!"
Mu Fangyuan was also here today. Revered wherever he went as a divine doctor, Tang Yongchang dared not slight Elder Mu.
The black Alphard commercial vehicle stopped, and two people got out. Besides Mu Fangyuan, Xiao Yurou also came this time.
Tang Yongchang enthusiastically greeted them. As Mu Fangyuan politely responded, he caught sight of Ye Cangtian and his face instantly lit up with joy. He quickly said, "Mr. Ye!"
Ye Cangtian smiled and said, "Elder Mu, you are a senior. Just call me Little Ye!"
"Then I will call you young friend Ye! I have been researching that poison these past few days, and fortunately, I have finally made some progress. I will definitely chat with you when I have time later!" Mu Fangyuan said.
Ye Cangtian was somewhat surprised. He had figured it out so quickly? This Elder Mu was truly formidable.
Seeing Divine Doctor Mu and Ye Cangtian chatting familiarly, Tang Yongchang felt uneasy and said, "Since Divine Doctor Mu has arrived, please go inside and rest."
Mu Fangyuan nodded and was led inside by Tang Yongchang.
Xiao Yurou, who was following behind, stopped and said to Tang Xinwan and Ye Cangtian, "Xinwan, Mr. Ye!"
Ye Cangtian smiled and said, "Welcome, welcome. Miss Xiao is becoming more and more beautiful... Ah!"
The last word was almost a scream because his foot hurt from being stepped on! Ye Cangtian grinned through the pain and turned around, only to see Tang Xinwan's expression was not right.
Seeing Xiao Yurou looking over curiously, Tang Xinwan then resumed her smile, walked forward, and linked her arm with hers, saying, "Yurou, I haven't seen you in days. Come, let's go in together."
Watching the two women affectionately link arms and enter the inner courtyard, Ye Cangtian looked down at the footprint on his shoe and felt speechless.
I was just talking to your best friend, and this girl is actually jealous!
Ye Cangtian muttered, then smiled. Jealousy was a good thing! It meant he was getting closer to his goal.
Just as he was about to follow them into the courtyard, a Bentley slowly drove up behind him, and Ye Cangtian narrowed his eyes.
Because four figures were getting out of the Bentley at this moment, one of whom was He Chuan, the young master of the He family who had been angered to the point of spitting blood by him last time at Haitian Building.
Ye Cangtian knew very well that this guy had repeatedly sent people to cause him trouble! Wasn't it this young master He who had instructed Liu Zhendong to deal with him with over twenty men last time?
Besides He Chuan, there were also two tall and powerful bodyguards and a middle-aged man who looked like a butler.
"Ye Cangtian!" He Chuan said grimly.
"Heh heh, isn't this Young Master He? What brings you here? What, are you still thinking about my Xinwan?" Ye Cangtian said with a smile.
"Hmph!" He Chuan gritted his teeth, somewhat annoyed, but quickly sneered and said, "Ye Cangtian, I heard you are very good at fighting. I've just hired two new bodyguards. How about you spar with them?"
The two bodyguards behind him immediately stepped forward. Their tall and powerful appearances indicated they were not to be trifled with.
Ye Cangtian raised an eyebrow and said with a dry laugh, "This, isn't it too good?"
He Chuan thought the other party was scared and sneered mockingly, "What? You're chickening out? Don't worry, it's just a sparring session, and it'll also help me test if these two bodyguards I hired with a lot of money are worth it!"
Although he had heard that Ye Cangtian was very good at fighting, it was only what Liu Zhendong's men had said. He hadn't seen it with his own eyes. He Chuan also wanted to see if this guy was really that formidable.
These two bodyguards of his were indeed hired with a lot of money. Both had achieved excellent results in underground boxing matches, and could be said to be very strong in combat.
"Then shall I help you test them?" Ye Cangtian's smile was brilliant, his lips curling slightly.
The two bodyguards felt somewhat embarrassed. They had fought in boxing matches, and ordinary people could knock them out with one punch. Yet, their young master actually wanted this kid to test them?
Crack... Crack...
The two bodyguards rotated their necks and wrists, making cracking sounds. They blocked Ye Cangtian's retreat from the front and back.
One of them struck first, throwing a punch straight at Ye Cangtian's face!
