Chapter 386 – Settling Scores
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
She subconsciously recalled what she had done and her heart skipped a beat. She thought that with that servant’s submissive personality, she would definitely not complain to the old master. Who knew that she would actually mention it now?! If she had known that this would happen, she would have quickly found an excuse to fire her! Had she done that, she would not have been punished by the old master now!
Little did she know that the servant did this because her temper was too bad. She would insult her family at the drop of a hat and sometimes even hit her directly. Since there was a chance to take revenge, why wouldn’t she take revenge? The servants weren’t robots. When the old master first heard about this, he didn’t intend to argue with his third daughter. After all, she had copied the Buddhist scriptures within the stipulated time.
As for how the servant felt, what did it have to do with him? The third daughter of the Tang family was a golden daughter. Wasn’t it normal for her to have a little temper? In the end, this was the difference between an ordinary person and a famous family! The servant was just cheap labor. If she couldn’t stay any longer, she could resign. Anyway, there were a lot of people who wanted to work for the Tang family. There were countless people who were more patient than this servant!
At that time, he could just let the butler hire a few servants.
But now he was in a rather bad mood!
Her actions were considered a provocation! How dare she treat the people I sent like this? Isn’t that a slap to my face?! She doesn’t take me, the head of the family, seriously at all! How dare she! The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Then he hit the ground with his walking stick a few more times!
“What? You have nothing to say?”
Tang Wenyi moved her lips and said softly, “She must be framing me. She took the initiative to do this. I didn’t force her. Old Master, would you rather believe an outsider than me? I’m the one who’s related to you by blood.”
The words rang clear in the silent hall.
Butler He couldn’t stand it anymore. Why can’t Third Miss learn how to say appropriate words in appropriate situations? At this time, she should quickly apologize and not find excuses! This will only lower her status in the old master’s heart. Where has my obedient Third Miss gone?
As expected, the old man’s face darkened. “She took the initiative? No. 3, your ability to lie is getting better and better. I asked her to monitor you to make sure you were copying the Buddhist scriptures. Other than that, I didn’t ask her to do anything else. Without your orders, how could she dare to act on her own?”
“This…”
Tang Wenyi stammered and couldn’t say anything. What else could she say? Wasn’t this the truth? She was the one who deliberately tortured the servant and threatened her. She couldn’t wash herself clean no matter what!
“Old Master, listen to my excuses. No, I mean my explanation!”
However, Tang Boyan waved his hand. The servant beside him quickly restrained her as he said coldly, “Send Third Miss back. If she wants you to do anything, pretend you didn’t hear her. If she makes a scene and doesn’t want to write, tell me. I don’t mind increasing Third Miss’s mobility!”
As for how to do it, they did not know. However, from the Patriarch’s expression, they knew that it was definitely not a gentle method!
Tang Wenyi tried to plead for herself. She turned her head and said, “Old Master! Old Master! I know I was wrong! I definitely won’t cause trouble again this time. Please believe me! I’ll listen to you obediently. Please! Let me go! I’ll recuperate in my room in peace!”
However, the old man acted as if he did not hear these words. He turned a deaf ear to them and slowly left the hall with his walking stick. However, his back looked a little depressed, and even his spine was a little hunched. No one knew what he was thinking, but it still made his heart ache to deal with his daughter.
…
Meanwhile, in a certain courtyard.
Tang Mingkun sat upright and held the chess piece in the air, not knowing where to place it. After a moment of hesitation, he placed it in a corner and said helplessly, “As expected, it’s different when you’re actually playing. It’s clearer when you’re watching from the side. Sigh, you can only torture me.”
He looked at the defeated white chess pieces and sighed softly. Last time, Lu Ming had easily defeated the old leader, which had also increased his confidence. Therefore, when the other party came over to invite him to play chess today, he decisively agreed.
He did not expect reality to be so harsh. The repeated failures kept telling him that it was probably impossible to defeat the old leader in this lifetime! He rubbed his temples. How did he turn a good game of chess into this? It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a lousy game of chess!
The old leader chuckled and said, “I thought you have more or less improved. After all, with such a genius godson around, you will definitely improve. Since the last time I played chess with him, I haven’t played for a while. This is the first time in a long time, but I can’t seem to have enough fun!”
His tone was mixed with regret. Since he had already hinted at this, how could Tang Mingkun not know what he really meant? He specially called me over. So this is his plan? He really has an ulterior motive! However, since he wants to play chess with my godson, why does he have to beat around the bush?
After so many years, when can he be more frank?
“What? Not having fun with me? Have you finally realized that I’m not good at chess? That’s not what you used to tell me, old buddy.”
In the past, in order to find someone to play chess with, the other party had told him chess skills were not important. He just wanted to have a taste of playing chess. How long had it been? Why had the old leader’s attitude changed? He could not help but marvel at his friend’s change in attitude. However, after so many years, he was already used to it.
The old leader said embarrassedly, “I didn’t mean to say that you’re bad. It’s just that after tasting a top-notch delicacy, I want to try it again even in my dreams. Of course, I’m also very happy to play chess with you, but these two things are different. I have to do my best for the former, and I can only treat the latter as entertainment to relax.”
“At the end of the day, aren’t you starting to despise me?”
However, Tang Mingkun did not take it to heart. If it were him, he would probably say the same thing. Compared to a victory without any suspense, it was better to fight to his heart’s content with someone who was evenly matched or stronger than him! He scratched his face with his index finger and said, “Then shall I bring Little Ming over tomorrow?”
As soon as he said this, the old leader was overjoyed. However, he asked hesitantly, “Is he free? Lu Ming Corporation is not a small company. He must have a lot of things to do. If my selfishness holds him up, it won’t be good.”
