Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Chapter 21: So Pleased As to Lose One's Sense of Measure

"Fatty, how could it be that they are awfully afraid to see you?" Although he had long been friends with Yuan Chuling, Tang Xiu had never asked about Yuan Chuling's family situation. On the other hand, he also never raised the subject about his family in front of Tang Xiu.

Tang Xiu only faintly knew that Yuan Chuling's parents did have hundreds of millions in assets and, but he was quite clueless about other things. Having been through the previous matter, Tang Xiu found that his buddy's identity was quite mysterious.

Having heard Tang Xiu's question, a scarlet blush covered Yuan Chuling's round face. And with eyes full of an awkward expression, he answered, "Eldest Brother, since things have been resolved, could you not dig any further?"

Upon hearing his answer, Tang Xiu didn't speak and instead stared straight at Yuan Chuling.

"Eldest Brother... I'm afraid... if I say it..." Under Tang Xiu's questioning gaze, Yuan Chuling was quickly defeated as he told everything with an embarrassed and ashamed expression, about his relationship with the Eternal Growth Trading Co.

Five years ago, when the country vigorously cracked down and rectified the illegal usury company, Yuan Chuling's uncle seized the opportunity to purchase the Eternal Growth Trading Co. and then became the company's boss.

However, the kind of opportunistic, lazy, and irresponsible Yuan Chuling's uncle, Zhao Tielin, proved to have no ability. Even though he became the Eternal Growth Trading Co's owner, he didn't know how to run a business, and instead let the previous company's staff run the business. Resulting in turmoil within the company. Although Yuan Chuling's parents had lent a hand, it took quite a long time to clean up his mess.

Because Yuan Chuling often went in and out the Eternal Growth Trading Co, coupled with the unusual doting Zhao Tielin had toward Yuan Chuling, over time, everyone from the top to the bottom of the Eternal Growth Trading Co. knew about his relationship with Zhao Tielin. They even regarded him as the crown prince master.

Having heard that the Eternal Growth Trading Co.'s true owner turned out to be Yuan Chuling's parents, a kind of died down feeling sprouted out from Tang Xiu's heart, making him almost vomit blood as he looked at Yuan Chuling with an unspoken bitterness which even words were unable to convey.

Thinking about as to how he and his mother had long been forced into a desperate situation for 6 months because of this Eternal Growth Trading Co., Tang Xiu could only feel that he had been wronged.

Mixed feelings also enveloped Su Lingyun's heart, but at the next moment, with some effort, she was able to adjust her mood and then warmly greeted Yuan Chuling and asked him to sit, serving some tea and then skillfully cleaning up the house.

"Eldest Brother, I'm really sorry. After my parents divorced, I rarely go to the Eternal Growth Trading Co. anymore. Also, I haven't paid any attention to their specific businesses. Otherwise, this matter wouldn't have happened." Yuan Chuling was also perfectly aware of the inner circumstance within the Eternal Growth Trading Co, even at a glance, it could be seen that it was a complete mess, making his heart full of guilt and shame.

"This thing does not have anything to do with you. You don't need to blame yourself." Upon seeing Yuan Chuling's apologetic and regretful expression, Tang Xiu's heart also melted as he patted Yuan Chuling's shoulder before he curiously asked, "Anyways, as long as I've recalled, I have never given my address to you or anyone, how did you find it?"

"Eldest Brother, what about the matter at the restaurant? That group of thugs had bashed the restaurant without reasons or cause. Do you need me to deal with it?" As he simply shifted to the matter with the restaurant, Yuan Chuling asked in an excited manner.
