"Slap!
Just as Tang Jing thought her grandfather would stand up for her, she saw a flash of white light before her eyes, and a loud slap landed on her face!
Instantly, her face turned red at a visible rate, and her ears buzzed from the impact!
"Grandpa, he left me out all night, why are you hitting me? Hit him!"
Tang Jing was a bit dazed. She covered her swollen cheek and cried out in grievance.
Her grandfather was truly confused by his illness, to actually lay hands on her!
She knew that ever since she was little, her grandfather had never hit them!
"It's precisely you I'm hitting. Don't think I don't know your little schemes. If I were Er Zhu, I'd freeze you for a day too!"
"More than a day, I'll freeze you every time you go, see if you dare to try and seduce him again!"
Old Tang, his face flushed red, pointed at Tang Jing and berated her. He was truly ashamed and indignant at this moment.
He had considered introducing Tang Jing and Tang Jie to Er Zhu, but after Tang Jie did such a disgraceful thing, he had abandoned the idea. Little did he know that as soon as Tang Jie's matter was over, Tang Jing would stir up trouble again!
These two granddaughters had truly embarrassed him to the core!
"Er Zhu, I'm sorry. It's Grandpa Tang's fault for not disciplining them properly. It's all Grandpa Tang's fault!"
Just as Tang Jing was about to retort, Old Tang clasped his hands into fists and apologized to Er Zhu with a face full of shame, his complexion even redder than before!
"Grandpa Tang, it's not your fault. You don't need to blame yourself for their actions."
Er Zhu helped Old Tang to a nearby chair and comforted him, never once looking at Tang Jing throughout the exchange!
"Pfft..."
A chuckle came from the side. Tang Jing turned her head and saw two people dressed as doctors nearly doubled over with laughter!
Her face instantly turned red. She then remembered that outsiders were present.
She had truly lost face this time, completely and utterly!
"Haha, I've never seen such a shameless woman, and a wealthy young lady from a prominent family at that, haha..."
"M... Mr. Wang's charm is truly immense, to make someone wait all day!"
"Hahaha, this is killing me, hahahaha... Miss Tang... hahahaha..."
...
Seeing that Tang Jing had noticed them, the two doctors no longer hid their amusement and burst into laughter. Zhao Ming, in particular, was laughing so hard he could barely stand upright!
Those high and mighty young ladies and socialites actually had moments of embarrassment. It was hilariously funny!
Tang Jing's face turned even redder. Anger blazed in her eyes, but she didn't dare to act out in front of her grandfather.
A flicker of embarrassment crossed Old Tang's eyes. He wanted to say something, but looking at his unpromising granddaughter, he could only lower his head in silence.
He, Tang Bofeng, had never been so humiliated as he was today!
"You two, get out!" Just as they were laughing the hardest, Er Zhu's icy voice came from the side. They wanted to retort, but upon seeing Er Zhu's cold gaze, they felt a chill down their spines and quickly left.
They had forgotten that the big boss was close to the old man!
Thinking that they might have offended the big boss because of this, Zhao Ming and the others quickened their pace, their joyous mood vanishing in an instant.
"It's all because of you! Get home, and let me see how I deal with you!"
After a moment of silence, Old Tang grabbed Tang Jing by the ear and dragged her out of the hospital. Er Zhu followed closely behind and got into the car with Old Tang.
In the car, Er Zhu notified the vice president and had Zhao Ming and another doctor who had mocked Tang Jing transferred to a branch in a remote mountainous region.
Of course, their punishment was not for Tang Jing's sake, but out of consideration for Old Tang.
After helping Old Tang into bed, Er Zhu took out his silver needle kit to treat him. Tang Jing's eyes darted around, and she suddenly felt something was amiss:
"Right, Grandpa, why did you go to the hospital in the first place?" Tang Jing asked doubtfully while tucking Old Tang in.
"It's nothing. You go out, Er Zhu can stay," Old Tang glanced at Tang Jing dismissively. He waved his hand weakly, not telling her the truth.
Although he was angry with Tang Jing, she was still his most beloved granddaughter, and he didn't want her to worry about him.
Moreover, if this matter were to spread, the Tang Group would be in grave danger!
"Oh, alright then. You guys chat." Tang Jing wanted to ask more, but thinking of her red and swollen face, she didn't press further.
Why ask so many questions? Grandpa was already so old. It would be better if he died, and then the Tang family would all be hers!
As for Tang Jie, that idiot was no match for her!
The thought of inheriting the Tang family made Tang Jing feel much better, as if the pain on her face had lessened considerably.
Seeing Tang Jing humming a tune and leaving cheerfully, Old Tang sighed and shook his head helplessly: "Er Zhu, can I ask you for a favor?"
Just as Er Zhu was about to insert the needles, Old Tang grabbed his wrist and looked at him with a hint of supplication.
"What's with the asking? Just tell me, Grandpa Tang, whatever it is, I'll do my best."
Er Zhu glanced at Old Tang's red-rimmed eyes and guessed what it was. He smiled slightly and continued with the acupuncture.
It was one thing for Tang Jie and her sister to be foolish, but they had never cared about Old Tang, only the Tang family's assets!
He would absolutely not let the Tang family fall into the hands of these two idiots, even if he was an outsider!
"I will transfer the Tang Corporation and the Tang family's antique shop to your name. From now on, the Tang family will be in your care!"
After a long pause, Old Tang glanced in the direction Tang Jing had left and then looked at Er Zhu earnestly, speaking in a low voice.
He was transferring all of the Tang family's assets to Er Zhu. He asked for nothing else, only that Er Zhu would guard the last vestiges of the Tang family for him!
It was a great tragedy that the Tang family, which had survived for a hundred years, now needed an outsider to protect it!
"Grandpa Tang, don't worry. I will guard the Tang family well, but for now, you should guard it yourself."
Er Zhu nodded, inserting the silver needles into the corresponding acupoints with a slight smile.
What he said sounded like last words, but in reality, it was just a casual conversation. Liver cancer was child's play to Er Zhu!
"Good child, if only you were a descendant of the Tang family," Old Tang's eyes welled up with emotion. He nodded gently, his eyes filled with gratitude.
The Tang family was unfortunate, with all their descendants being useless. But the Tang family was also fortunate, for heaven had sent him Er Zhu!
This outstanding young man, who was even more capable, decisive, and insightful than himself!
Er Zhu chatted casually while treating Old Tang. In just over two hours, Old Tang's feeling of abdominal bloating disappeared!
"Thank you, Er Zhu. I feel much better now. You are truly a divine doctor." As Er Zhu was about to leave, Old Tang reluctantly held his hand.
He wanted to keep Er Zhu, but thinking of the two granddaughters who were so eager to throw themselves at him, he felt a headache coming on.
Their Tang family had already suffered enough humiliation; they couldn't afford any more disgrace!"
