Heavenly Dragon Doctor Son-in-Law-Chapter 204 - 205: The Greatly Disappointed Zhang Meilan!

Now, everything was out in the open. The buyer of the Dragon King Villa was definitely not Tang Xuewu or Qin Long; it was Xiao Long. Tang Xuewu actually lied to us for Qin Long! How infuriating!

Zhang Meilan’s expression was foul, her heart instantly ablaze with fury. She quickly hailed a taxi, her face remaining cold for the entire ride.

"Meilan, don’t lose your temper with Qin Long when we get back," Tang De quietly advised.

"So we’re just supposed to let that cripple deceive us?! And I’m not even allowed to ask about it?!" Zhang Meilan’s face twisted in a rage as she beat her chest and stomped her feet.

"Qin Long is only engaged to Xuewu; he has absolutely no reason to buy us a huge villa! Even if he did, we would need his consent before moving in. And once you move in, it implies you’ve accepted his relationship with Xuewu. It’s his decision whether or not to buy us a house. You need to understand that."

Although Tang De wasn’t particularly capable, as Tang Rulan’s son, he was still a reasonable man.

"Our Xuewu took care of him for three years! What’s wrong with him spending money on a villa?"

"Whatever. He can’t afford it anyway. This is actually perfect. We must drive him away as soon as possible so Xuewu can marry Wang Ming. Once she marries Wang Ming and becomes the young mistress of the Wang family, we can choose any house here we want!"

The image of Wang Ming once again appeared in Zhang Meilan’s mind. If we really moved into a villa bought by Qin Long, it would be impossible to ever kick him out. But since he hasn’t bought it, this is the perfect opportunity to get rid of him for good! That will give Wang Ming and Xuewu a better chance to get close.

"Enough! Stop bringing up Wang Ming. Can’t you see Xuewu doesn’t like him at all? Besides, his reputation is terrible." Tang De looked at Zhang Meilan with a grim expression. Unlike his wife, who was consumed by a desire for money, he genuinely hoped his daughter would find true love and marry for love, not some wealthy family.

"Don’t talk nonsense. What do you mean she doesn’t like him? Affection can be cultivated over time!

"After marriage, life is just about the daily grind. Choosing a wealthy family means she’ll at least never have to worry about food or clothing. But Qin Long? He’s a good-for-nothing cripple with a cane. What kind of life could Xuewu possibly have if she marries him?

"Tang De, marrying you was my curse for eight lifetimes! I absolutely will not stand by and watch my daughter marry a poor, disabled man! If you dare to agree to it, we’re getting a divorce!"

Zhang Meilan’s face was fierce as she pointed a finger at Tang De and cursed loudly. Even the driver was startled, casting sympathetic glances their way.

"Alright, alright, I won’t argue with you," Tang De sighed in resignation.

By six in the afternoon, Zhang Meilan had been muttering and cursing ever since they got back. Tang Xuewu, who was clearing the dishes nearby, was completely baffled, while Qin Long could only shrug helplessly. They had all grown accustomed to Zhang Meilan’s unreasonable tantrums. She had only kept quiet recently because Qin Long had bought so many things. Now that she believed Qin Long and Xuewu had lied to her, she felt no need to hold back.

BANG!

Zhang Meilan angrily slammed her hand on the table. Even though Tang De had told her not to bring up the villa anymore, the thought of her precious daughter lying to her for a cripple made her furious. It was like having a fishbone stuck in her throat; she couldn’t stand it.

"Xuewu, when are you going to take us to see the Dragon King Villa?" Zhang Meilan’s lips twisted into a sneer as she deliberately posed the question to Tang Xuewu.

"Mom, just a few more days," Tang Xuewu replied with a helpless expression. "We were planning to move, but they said the last tile hasn’t been laid, so we can’t go just yet.

"After all, we chose a decorative style that’s more in line with the Grand Xia aesthetic. They’re also using this opportunity to give the area around the Dragon King Villa another thorough cleaning.

"Don’t worry, Mom. It won’t take more than a week at most."

Tang Xuewu patiently explained, but in Zhang Meilan’s eyes, it was all a lie. They didn’t buy that Dragon King Villa at all. My daughter is just making excuses for Qin Long again. Zhang Meilan was certain of it.

"Is that so?" Zhang Meilan sneered.

"What do you mean by that, Mom? If you really don’t believe me, I can take you there right now." Tang Xuewu was taken aback by her mother’s cold, disdainful expression.

"Enough! That’s Xiao Long’s house. How could we possibly enter as we please?" Zhang Meilan roughly shoved Tang Xuewu’s hand away and stormed off. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Tang Xuewu was left utterly baffled, not understanding what had just happened. From what Mom said, it seems she doesn’t believe Qin Long bought the villa. Or maybe... she feels awkward toward him? After all, he’s the one who bought it, so what right do we have to live there?

Tang De wanted to tell his daughter the truth, but the words caught in his throat. We already went there ourselves to check. It’s better to leave them some dignity.

Later, Tang Xuewu went to Qin Long’s room to massage his right leg, a routine she had grown accustomed to over the years. Qin Long’s right leg had limited mobility and required regular massage and physical therapy. Otherwise, even if it eventually healed, there could be permanent aftereffects, and by then, it would be too late for regrets. For three years, day in and day out, Tang Xuewu had performed this task without ever missing a single day.

Qin Long was deeply moved as he watched the incredibly focused Tang Xuewu beside him.

"Xuewu, if Aunt Lan is that anxious, she can move into the first floor for now," Qin Long said, gently stroking Tang Xuewu’s hair with a tender expression. "Besides, this villa was always meant for you. You don’t need to ask me; just make whatever arrangements you see fit."

"There’s no need. I already made an agreement with Aunt Yuehua that we’ll wait until the renovated areas are completely dry. After all, the fumes wouldn’t be good for Xuexue.

"I’m also planning to have someone independently test the air quality after the renovation is done, just to be safe. We can’t just take the company’s word for it. We have to see the official certification that it’s safe before we all move in."

Having explained herself, Tang Xuewu finished up.

"Alright." Qin Long closed his eyes, a look of pure enjoyment on his face.

But Tang Xuewu looked at Qin Long with a puzzled expression. "Qin Long, I can’t shake the feeling that there’s something fishy about Jin Taiyang’s sudden change of heart. Logically, our Tang Family shouldn’t have offended them." Lost in thought, she gently touched her chin.

"Perhaps someone is targeting your Tang Family," Qin Long hinted with a slight smile.

"If someone is targeting us, then it all makes sense," Tang Xuewu realized instantly, looking at Qin Long with delighted surprise.

"What are the other members of the Tang Family saying?" Qin Long asked, his brow furrowed with a hint of doubt.

"Well..." Tang Xuewu hesitated before speaking.

"They all think you’re colluding with outsiders to seize the Tang Family’s assets. And... they said that as soon as Sixth Master Jin saw Wang Ming, he immediately backed off," Tang Xuewu explained with a troubled expression.
