Chapter 291 Tang Consortium’s Bankruptcy

“Insurance companies should have records.” Lang Ruoxian says, “It is very simple to prove that you have received insurance benefits.”

Wang Rong murmurs. “But my parents-in-law now insist saying that I gave them the money as soon as I brought it back, and that for the sake of the child, I left without taking a coin.”

“…” Yan Hua opens her mouth and does not know what to say.

When she gets back, she tells Tang Cao. After Tang Cao hears it, he says, “Retribution! She cheated money from her husband’s family and then she was cheated by others.”

“Why did her parents-in-law help the man?” Chang Pei’e curiously asks.

“Because the man gave the old couple a million yuan.” Yan Hua sighs. “The old couple depend on their pension to support their grandchildren. It is estimated that they feel that with this one million yuan, the child will not suffer when they die.”

Tang Cao asks Yan Hua. “Sister, do you really want to help her prove it?”

“I don’t know.” Yan Hua’s feelings are conflicted. “Frankly speaking, Wang Rong’s situation is that there must be something hateful about the poor. But I am afraid she will haunt me if I don’t promise her.”

Bai Susu listens to them all the time and thinks. “Help her! She has already learned her lesson. And even if you testify for her, I don’t think it will change anything.”

“I told her the same thing.” Yan Hua shakes her head. She had not seen the insurance benefits with her own eyes, but only heard the phone conversation once, which is not enough to prove it.

Tang Cao turns the wheelchair to Lang Ruoxian’s front. “Brother Ruoxian, what will you say?”

“If Hua wants to go, just go.” Lang Ruoxian pinches Yan Hua’s face. “Otherwise, she would always think about it.”

So when Wang Rong’s lawsuit opens a court session, Yan Hua appears in court to testify for her. Indeed, the judge says that her testimony is not enough to prove it. When leaving the court, Yan Hua meets Wang Rong’s parents-in-law. The old couple are quite easy-going and don’t treat her with a long face because she is a witness of Wang Rong.

Yan Hua endures and endures, but finally she can’t endure.

“I know that Wang Rong is hateful, because she lied to you first. Now, she reaps what she sows, but the other wicked man is at large under your protection. In fact, you can tell the judge the truth and get back the rest of the money.”

After saying that, Yan Hua leaves. Lang Ruoxian waits for her beside the car. Yan Hua trots over and nervously asks, “They don’t chase me, do they?”

“You!” Lang Ruoxian smiles faintly. “Since you are afraid of being scolded, don’t be a good person.”

Yan Hua gets into the car. “I think the man will be let off too lightly. Obviously he is the worst one. Alas, I don’t know whether the old couple will tell the judge the truth.”

A few days later, Yan Hua’s mobile phone receives a message, saying as follows.

“Thank you, Miss Tang. My parents-in-law sued Li Yang and took back most of the money. They forgave me. I am going home now. I will take good care of my son and find a job later.”

“Her parents-in-law said thanks to my sister. Finally, they wished my sister a happy life, peace and joy.” Tang Cao puts down his mobile phone. “Gee! Such a story of truth, goodness and beauty is too inconsistent with the theme of our circle.”

Yan Hua rolls her eyes toward him. “What circle is yours? Broken-leg circle?”

“I think my legs are all right. Can I remove the plaster?” Tang Cao moves his legs.

Bai Susu throws a bolster over. “Don’t move! It’s still early. At least you have to wait for another month.”

The weather is getting colder and colder, and it is soon the time for supplying heating. Then Yanjing welcomes its first snow this year. Tang Cao shouts early in the morning that he has to remove the plaster, saying it is romantic to do so in snowy days.

“Let him go alone.” Bai Susu ignores him.

Tang Cao is determined to go and calls Chen Xiaopang to come. Later Yan Hua goes to the hospital with them and asks the doctor to remove the plaster. Tang Cao finally is able to scamper around on the ground.

The doctor also says, “Don’t run or jump. Eat more supplementing calcium foods. Pay attention to rest, and keep warm of your legs.”

As soon as they get home, they see Tang Yao’s eyes looking at them with hope.

“Where’s the wheelchair?”

Yan Hua doubts. “I didn’t see it when I came out of the hospital. I almost forgot it. Where is Tang Cao’s wheelchair?”

“Chen Xiaopang pushed it away.” Tang Cao despises Tang Yao. “I know that Dad, you are not expecting me to come back. You want to play the wheelchair? Wait for Chen Xiaopang to send it back!”

Tang Yao shouts and pounces on Tang Cao to hit him. The two men run in the sitting room.

“Dad, slow down. The doctor says that Tang Cao can’t run!”

Tang Yao hears Yan Hua’s shouts and says that it is good for Tang Cao to be lame, but his steps slow down. The two men walk around in the sitting room.

“This is good!” Chang Pei’e is delighted to say. “Finally, everyone will celebrate the new year together. Another year has passed. How fast!”

Yan Hua hugs the old lady’s arm. “Shall we go out or be at home to celebrate the Spring Festival?”

“At home!” Chang Pei’e touches her head. “When you get old, you will be more reluctant to be away from home. If you want to go out, you have to wait until the fifth day of the lunar new year.”

At the beginning of December, Tang Ming steps down and is replaced by a leader whose surname is Jiang.

“Does our family know this person well?” Yan Hua watches the new leading group speaking on TV and asks. “Why didn’t you say so?”

Bai Susu glances at him. “He is a casual acquaintance. He knows your Uncle Chen well.”

Tang Cao whistles. “It will be difficult to make the reservation in the Zhiwei Garden in the future.”

“That’s someone else. Our family can go there at any time.” Tang Yao throws away the banana peel. He ate the banana secretly just now. “A few days ago, Chen Shu said that it was estimated that Mr. Jiang would come to power. I heard that Bai Family and Hua Family had withdrawn their people from the central government.”

Bai Susu snorts. “If they don’t withdraw, they’ll wait for others to deal with them! Every new sovereign brings his own courtiers. The smart ones all run away.”

“Some can run away. But there are many who can’t…” Chang Pei’e sighs. “The Spring Festival is coming soon. Be honest, all of you. Don’t let others find fault with you at this critical moment.”

Bai Susu glances at Tang Yao and Tang Cao. “You two, do you hear?”

“I heard it! I heard it!” Tang Cao curls his lips. “Mom, why don’t you tell this to my sister and Brother Ruoxian?”

“They don’t need to be told. You and your father are the only ones causing troubles in our family.” Bai Susu ignores him and looks at Lang Ruoxian. “How is the company?”

Lang Ruoxian answers. “We still have 10% of the shares in our hands. The rest are all in Tang Ming’s hands.”

“Wow!” Tang Yao and Tang Cao says wow to each other. “Our family is bankrupt!”

“Just at the verge.” Lang Ruoxian smiles. “But it’s soon. Tang Ming will definitely let Tang Consortium go bankrupt before the Spring Festival.”

Tang Yao and Tang Cao hug each other and pretend to shiver. “Our family has no money. We can’t eat meat this Spring Festival!”

“Stop jabbering, you two!” Chang Pei’e laughs out of tears. “By the way, the day after tomorrow is the first day of the lunar new year. You two will go to the temple with me.”

Yan Hua says, “Grandma, I’ll go with you!”

“No, it is too cold, so you needn’t go! If you go there, you have to climb the mountain. Let your father and Tang Cao accompany me.”

Tang Yao and Tang Cao begin to shout that they are not Chang Pei’e’s biological son and grandson. They jokingly fight for fun in the sitting room.

In the compound, Tang Ming gets off the car. Today is the last time he uses the car. He watches it drive away. Tang Ming stands at the door for a long time until Tang Jie calls him.

“Dad? It’s cold outside. Let’s go in!”

Tang Ming walks slowly into the room. “Did your eldest brother call today?”

“He just called. Tang Rui clamors for return.”

“Tell him to stay there obediently and we will pick him up in March, or he will stay abroad for the rest of his life.” Tang Ming’s original dismal mood suddenly becomes angry.

“Tell your eldest brother that if Tang Rui clamors again, lock up Tang Rui in the hospital and let him eat the hospital’s food. Don’t hire the nursing workers for him either. Let him take care of himself.”

Tang Jie smiles. “Tang Rui just clamors. The hospital is so boring that he will easily lose his temper if he stays alone.”

“Hum, who is to blame for being in the hospital because of his own failure?” Tang Ming sits down in the sitting room. The imposing manner of being a leader for a long time makes him look dignified and correct, but what he says is malicious and cruel.

“Buy the rest of Tang Consortium’s stocks tomorrow and declare its bankruptcy.”

Tang Jie thinks and asks. “In such a hurry, will outsiders say…”

“Say what?” Tang Ming smiles. “After the Spring Festival, there will be a new Tang Consortium. Everyone will know the first branch takes the place of the second branch to run Tang Consortium. Isn’t this normal? Don’t forget, everyone thinks that Tang Consortium depends on me to run.”

The members of the second branch of Tang Family are just the crap attached to the first branch. They don’t know how to run the company but to sit around and wait to die.

“I don’t think Lang Ruoxian will just give up.” Tang Jie has always suspected that they get Tang Consortium’s stocks too smoothly.

“What if he won’t give up?” Tang Ming hisses. “The second branch lost the company, even if Lang Ruoxian returns a company supported by Lang Consortium to them, but it is still not their own. In the future, Tang Yao will seek living under his son-in-law. I just pity my niece…”

If there are not those things involved Tang Rui and Tang Ziyan, Tang Ming wants to maintain superficial relationship with the second branch. But they have a good son-in-law, Lang Ruoxian, who harmed Tang Ming’s son and daughter into the hospital. How can’t he settle accounts with them?

“Lang Ruoxian has no projects in his hand, nor has even a piece of land.” Tang Ming feels better at the thought. “I will see how he runs his company.”

Tang Jie reminds him. “Dad, Lang Family is the richest family in the three coastal provinces.”

“So what!” Tang Ming glances at him. “I heard that Lang Ruoxian snatched Lang Consortium from his father and his auntie at the beginning. He gave the position of president to his cousin for the sake of Tang Duo. Have you seen a person who will spit out what he ate?”

Now it is not Lang Ruoxian who is in charge of Lang Consortium. He wants to use Lang Consortium’s money to open his own company in Yanjing. Haha… Tang Ming sneers. “Unless his cousin is a fool. Or who will give money to him!”

New Year’s Day. Minor New Year.

This time the second branch of Tang Family is reported in the financial news. Tang Consortium announces bankruptcy, but its building is not sealed up, and even the staff don’t get fired. Ordinary people don’t know what happens but to look on.

But in this circle, almost everyone knows that the first branch of Tang Family kicks the second branch out the company, and since then the craps of the second branch will only be left without anybody to care for in the corner.

“Shit!” Tang Cao shouts, holding his mobile phone. “Chen Xiaopang, the mentally disabled, actually raises donation for me in the moments, saying that I have no money for the New Year.”

Yan Hua smiles. “You don’t have to tell him much. He will naturally know it later.”

At this time, the IQ gap is clearly shown. Tang Cao sighs. “Look at Tong Yue. He doesn’t respond at all. He even doesn’t ask me a word.”
