Chapter 26: Call Me Brother and Let Me Hear It

Tang Qinghua walked into the 4S dealership, and an aura of luxury that he had previously only been able to admire from afar washed over him. He had once looked upon such places as inaccessible, yet here he was, ready to make a purchase. He truly had found a wonderful godfather for little Xuan!

When Liu Ling spotted Tang Xuan, she frowned in annoyance. How could he be here? Could he actually afford such an expensive car? Liu Ling did not know how much money Tang Xuan had received for healing Huang Long, nor did she understand the current attitude the Huang family held toward him. In her eyes, he was merely an arrogant man with some medical skills.

"Which car here has the best configuration?"

The salesperson led the two to the Cullinan, the most luxurious vehicle in the showroom. Liu Ling pointed to the car Tang Xuan had been eyeing and said, "I'll take that one."

Wei Li looked surprised; Liu Ling had already seen that car earlier and had expressed dislike for its configuration. She had been quite critical of both its exterior and interior colors.

"Didn't you say you didn't like it?"

"I've suddenly taken a liking to it." She leaned in, whispering, "If you buy it for me, let's go out singing tonight."

Hearing this, Wei Li felt a surge of adrenaline. Given his status, he never lacked beautiful women, but men are creatures who crave what they cannot yet possess. Even if the prize was not the best, the frustration of being denied made him feel as if thousands of ants were crawling under his skin. Perhaps he would lose interest quickly once he had her, but that did not change his willingness to pay the price now. Besides, the cost was merely money—a trivial matter for someone like Wei Li. It was a matter of ego; he cared more about the process of conquest than Liu Ling’s charms themselves.

"Fine, if you like it, we'll buy it." Wei Li walked over with Liu Ling. "I'm buying this car. You two go look at something else." He looked down at Tang Xuan and his companion with a haughty expression.

"Miss Liu, didn't you just say you didn't like it?"

Liu Ling retorted dismissively, "Can't I change my mind?"

Tang Xuan gathered the situation immediately. Liu Ling had seen the car, disliked it, but now wanted to snatch it simply because he intended to buy it. The salesperson looked distressed. "But they have already chosen it and are preparing to pay in full."

Wei Li’s expression turned cold. With a mere huff, the salesperson was visibly shaken. "Young Master Wei, I..."

Seeing the salesperson’s predicament, Tang Xuan shrugged indifferently. He had no desire to make things difficult for a worker just trying to make a living, nor did he want any involvement with Liu Ling. "Sell it to them. We’ll look at another one."

The young salesperson looked at Tang Xuan with gratitude. Liu Ling felt triumphant, believing she had suppressed Tang Xuan, and Wei Li felt he had gained face in front of the woman he desired without having to bully Tang Xuan further.

After the purchase, Liu Ling couldn't wait to call Huang Ying. "Do you know who I just ran into?"

Huang Ying was still fuming over the previous night, having spent the night awake wondering why she felt inferior to Zhang Qi. "Who?"

"That 'miracle doctor.' He actually has the money to buy a Rolls-Royce."

Upon hearing it concerned Tang Xuan, Huang Ying became instantly interested. "How much did your family pay him?"

"My grandfather handled the payment for the medical fees; I'm not sure. It seems he didn't walk away empty-handed from your family. The nerve of him, daring to buy a Rolls-Royce. But the car he wanted? I bought it instead."

Listening to Liu Ling’s smug laughter, cold sweat began to bead on Huang Ying’s forehead. "Since when do you have the money for a Rolls-Royce?" Liu Ling was just a director of gynecology; while young and promising, she certainly couldn't afford such a top-tier luxury vehicle on her own.

"You forgot, Wei Li has been pursuing me. I only agreed to have dinner with him twice, and he bought it for me. You have no idea—that guy didn't even dare to make a peep in front of Wei Li. When I said I wanted the car he was looking at, he didn't even dare to say a word."

Huang Ying took a deep breath, silently praying for the Wei family. The true situation regarding the Huang and Li families was still unknown to the outside world. Beneath the seemingly calm surface of Jiangcheng, turbulent undercurrents were already swirling. Huang Ying was certain that the power structure of the city was about to undergo a cataclysmic shift.

"Did Wei Li do or say anything excessive to him?"

Liu Ling laughed scornfully. "He didn't even dare to breathe, so of course Wei Li didn't need to provoke him."

"I advise you to stop provoking him. He isn't as simple as you think."

Liu Ling scoffed. She no longer cared if Tang Xuan could teach her medicine; in her eyes, he was now worthless. "What's there to fear? I have Wei Li backing me now. Don't let me run into him again, or I will target him again."

"Suit yourself. Let's not be in touch anymore." Huang Ying hung up directly. She had no patience for a woman bent on her own destruction.

Liu Ling was stunned. Had Huang Ying really cut ties with her over that man? "Wei Li, the man from earlier used to pursue me and wouldn't leave me alone. I really hate him. Why don't you help me get revenge?"

Wei Li would never miss an opportunity to show off. "You should have said so earlier! They’ve already left, but don't worry, I'll have people investigate where he lives immediately. I’ll make sure he kneels before you to apologize."

Hearing this, Liu Ling smiled, fully satisfied.

For the first time in his life, Tang Qinghua was riding in a luxury car like a Rolls-Royce, and he was ecstatic. "Brother, how can there be such a good brother as you in this world? First a luxury mansion, now a luxury car—I must have accumulated so much merit in my past life!"

Tang Xuan smiled. "As long as you keep calling me brother, it's all worth it."

"Brother!" "Brother!" "Brother, hahahaha!"

Tang Xuan reminded himself to keep his secrets well-guarded; he absolutely could not let his brother find out the truth, or he would never hear the end of it.

While heading to the old Tang residence, Zhang Qi received another call from Li Meng. Li Meng’s attitude was firm, demanding that she come to the Li family to declare her stance. Zhang Qi was pushed to the edge of a cliff.

Liu Zhenhua looked grim. "Should we tell Master Tang about this?"

Zhang Qi shook her head without hesitation. "He has already helped enough. I don't want to drag him into this mess with the Li family."

"But what if Master Tang can handle the Li family?"

Zhang Qi smiled bitterly. "Do you really think that's possible?"

Liu Zhenhua hung his head in defeat. The possibility was indeed slim. The Li family was on an entirely different level than the Huang family. Being able to handle the Huang family did not necessarily mean he could handle the Li family.

"I'll go first. If I don't make it back, you should be careful."
