The Tang family.
Tang Tianlong saw Tang Hai and his family return on their own, but Tang Chuchu was nowhere to be found.
His face suddenly darkened, and he angrily shouted, "Where's Chuchu? Why didn't you bring her back?"
Tang Mengying immediately walked over and supported Tang Tianlong. "Grandpa, don't be angry. Listen to me. Tang Chuchu has gone too far. She asked our family to kneel down, and we did, but she still won't come back. She even asked Grandpa to give Tang Bo 10% of the group's shares, saying you're biased, old man. Everyone in the Tang family gets shares, but they don't."
Tang Tianlong's face turned blue with anger.
Tang Mengying quickly said, "Grandpa, I'm not scolding you; these are Tang Chuchu's exact words."
"I'm so angry!"
Tang Tianlong gasped in anger, cursing fiercely, "You've become so lawless just because you have a connection with Ye Xiong that you don't even respect me, the head of the family."
Tang Lei also exaggerated the story of how he went to pick up Tang Chuchu, describing how he knelt down to beg her, how Tang Chuchu insulted them, and how she scolded Tang Tianlong.
On the way here, the family had already made a plan.
Tang Chuchu's return was a certainty.
If she returned, she would definitely take power, something they didn't want to see.
But if she didn't return, the Tang family would suffer heavy losses.
The family decided to first speak ill of her in front of Tang Tianlong.
Tang Chuchu's previous misdeeds had nearly led to the destruction of the Tang family. Adding to this incident, even if she returned, she wouldn't be able to take power.
Tang Tianlong was so angry he nearly fainted upon hearing these words.
He leaned back on the sofa, panting heavily. He pointed his dragon-headed cane at the silent Tang Hai and said angrily, "Here, Tang Chuchu wants 10% of the shares. As long as she comes back, I'll give it to her. 10% is 10%. Tell her to call Qianjun Ye Xiong immediately."
Though old, Tang Tianlong was not lost.
Only with Tang Chuchu's return could the Tang family continue its partnership with Qianjun, and only then could the Tang family's business advance to a new level.
Mortal Clinic.
Tang Chuchu looked at Jiang Chen with confusion. "Chen, why is Ye Xiong so kind to me? I don't even know him. First, he personally took me to Qianjun, and now I've been expelled from the family, and he's terminating his partnership with the Tang family because of me. Tell me honestly, is it because of you?"
Jiang Chen knew he couldn't hide it for much longer, so he smiled and said, "It's indeed because of me."
"That's what I was wondering. Why is Ye Xiong so respectful to me? It really is because of you," Tang Chuchu said, suddenly realizing.
Jiang Chen said, "I'm an orphan. I served in the army for several years. I'm quite skilled. I once saved Ye Xiong, and he owed me a favor. Qianjun's cooperation with Yongle, and what happened today, are all repayments from Ye Xiong. Now the favor has been paid."
"Thank you."
Jiang Chen took Tang Chuchu's hand. "We're all family, so why thank me?"
"By the way, how do you know medicine?" Tang Chuchu looked at Jiang Chen. This cheap husband was truly a mystery.
Jiang Chen smiled and explained, "Jiangzhong is known as the Medicine Capital, a gathering place for traditional Chinese medicine practitioners from all over the world. I grew up in an orphanage. The director was a veteran Chinese medicine practitioner, and I learned a little from him."
"Just a little?" Tang Chuchu glanced at him.
She knew her injuries. Her entire body was disfigured, and even the most advanced plastic surgery techniques would be difficult to restore. Yet, Jiang Chen had healed her in ten days.
And then there was the scratch on her face from a few days ago.
Although it was still bandaged, she could feel her injuries slowly healing.
"It was really just a little bit. He was the one who truly saved you. He's a hidden genius doctor." Jiang Chen pointed at Xiao Hei, who was sitting nearby smoking.
Xiao Hei immediately stood up and gave an awkward smile. "Hello, sister-in-law. My name is Xiao Hei. I grew up with Brother Jiang in an orphanage. After he joined the army, I went to study medicine."
Tang Chuchu didn't suspect anything and believed what they said.
However, she was still a little worried.
She was worried that she was asking for too much shares.
The Tang family's main business was Yongle, but beyond Yongle, they also had numerous other properties, restaurants, and hotels.
The total assets amounted to over a billion.
Ten percent was no small sum, and she was worried her grandfather wouldn't give it.
Now all she could do was wait.
Soon, Tang Hai returned to the Mortal Clinic.
This time, he was alone, and he also brought the group's equity transfer documents.
"Chuchu, this is the transfer agreement signed by Dad himself. As long as Tang Bo signs, he'll own 10% of the family business. Now that the equity transfer agreement is yours, shouldn't you call Ye Xiong and ask him not to cancel the partnership with Yongle?"
Tang Chuchu took the contract Tang Hai handed her and carefully examined it.
Seeing it was indeed an equity agreement, her face lit up with joy, and she cheered, "Chen, Grandpa gave it to me. He really did. My dad can finally hold his head up high."
"Chuchu, hurry up and call! Dozens of trucks are pulling in raw materials from Yongle right now. It's not too late to celebrate after we resolve this matter." Tang Hai said promptly.
Tang Chuchu looked at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen nodded and said, "Okay, call."
"I... can I do it?" Tang Chuchu hesitated. After all, Ye Xiong owed Jiang Chen a favor.
Jiang Chen said, "Of course I can. Call."
Tang Chuchu then took out her phone and explained the situation to Ye Xiong. Without hesitation, Ye Xiong agreed to continue his partnership with Yongle. Tang Hai listened from the sidelines, finally breathing a sigh of relief after hearing the call.
Although they had given away 10% of their shares, as long as they continued to cooperate with Qianjun, the Tang family's business would grow and their capital would increase.
"Chuchu, Grandpa's eightieth birthday is in ten days. Remember to come then. Uncle will be leaving first," Tang Hai said, then drove away.
"Chen, let's go home and tell Dad the good news." Tang Chuchu pulled Jiang Chen aside and left.
Seeing Tang Chuchu so happy, Jiang Chen felt truly satisfied.
He and Tang Chuchu returned home together.
The door to the Tang family's house was closed.
Tang Chuchu, nervously holding the contract, knocked gently.
Soon, the door opened.
A woman in her twenties, dressed in a thin dress and a pair of flip-flops, opened the door. She was quite pretty. This was Wu Min, the wife of Tang Chuchu's younger brother, Tang Song.
Wu Min's face was filled with disgust as she said, "Why did you come back? Mom and Dad don't want to see you. Get lost."
With that, she slammed the door shut.
Tang Song's voice rang from the inner room: "Amin, who's that?"
Wu Min said, "A jinx."
Tang Song knew it was Tang Chuchu who had returned. He opened the door and looked at Tang Chuchu, who was outside clutching a contract, tears welling in her eyes. He pulled her in and said, "Sister, come in! Mom and Dad are out."
Wu Min took a quick step, stood in front of Tang Song, and said coldly, "Tang Song, what are you doing? If Mom knows you let this jinx back, the money you saved for the car will be gone."
Tang Song had returned home this time because something had happened at the Tang family, and he was back to be with his parents.
Secondly, he learned that He Yanmei had two million more, and he just wanted to buy a better car, so he came back and kept pestering He Yanmei, asking her to give him money to buy one.
This money was the breakup fee that the rich second-generations had given to Jiang Chen when he picked up Tang Chuchu from get off work, asking him to leave her.
"You jinx, why are you back?"
Just then, a middle-aged woman approached with a golden retriever.
She was He Yanmei, and the sight of Tang Chuchu was met with a look of disdain.
"Mom."
"Don't call me that. I don't have a daughter like you."
Tang Chuchu's eyes welled with tears, but she held them back. She handed over the contract.
"Grandpa has already agreed to let me go home. He also gave me a shareholding agreement. If I sign it, I'll own 10% of the Tang family. I brought it back specially for Dad."
