Prosecutor vs. Minister: A Battle of Wits-Chapter 154 - 152 Tang Family

Evening.

The Tang Family’s banquet center was bustling with activity, attracting almost all the aristocratic families of Beijing.

This included the people from the three top-tier prestigious families.

Song Shimiao, holding Jiang Haishi’s arm, walked through the main entrance, instantly surrounded by a flurry of people flattering them.

They returned polite smiles, exchanged a few casual pleasantries, and quickly withdrew from the crowd.

"Sigh, these kinds of occasions are such a hassle." Jiang Haishi shook his head, wearing a look of disdain.

Song Shimiao rolled her eyes at him, "For heaven’s sake, Uncle Tang treated you like his own son when you were little, and now you find coming to his birthday party annoying?"

Jiang Haishi was left speechless by her retort, lowering his head slightly, sheepishly explaining in a hushed voice, "It’s not that I’m annoyed by Uncle Tang, I’m talking about those other people just now..."

"Sister Shimo, you’re here."

The two walked to the side and happened to run into Tang Lilan by the staircase, who greeted them with a smile.

Even though back then Tang Liangqin married Jiang Haishi and then passed away in the Jiang Family. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

The Tang Family knew in their hearts that the fault was their own.

They naturally never blamed any member of the Jiang Family.

Moreover, Song Shimiao and Jiang Haishi were genuinely in love from the start.

Back then, for selfish reasons, they even broke them apart, so how could they have the nerve to blame them?

Therefore, to this day, the relationship between the two families was still quite amicable.

Song Shimiao nodded and then asked, "Li Lan, is Uncle Tang upstairs in the bedroom?"

"Yes, Dad found downstairs too noisy and has been staying in the bedroom, refusing to come out."

"Alright, I’ll go up and find him."

After all, it’s different between family and outsiders; sending wishes and such are more heartfelt than from outsiders.

Just as she was about to go upstairs, Jiang Haishi stopped her, sighed, and said, "You go up and find Uncle Tang yourself; I still have some things to discuss with Li Lan."

Hearing this, Song Shimiao gave him a deep look, but said nothing, heading upstairs alone.

Only Jiang Haishi and Tang Lilan were left at the staircase.

"Hai Shi, are you planning to ask me about Tongtong?" After all these years, Tang Lilan immediately guessed what he wanted to ask.

Upon hearing his words, a hint of frustration appeared in Jiang Haishi’s eyes, "I still don’t know if Tongtong has forgiven me or not..."

Over the years, he had always instructed people to transfer money into her account.

It should be enough to sustain her life.

However, his daughter had been groomed as the heir of the Jiang Family since childhood.

Even without his money, she wouldn’t be in dire straits.

But every time he called her, Jiang Tong’s sarcastic tone always left him exhausted.

Tang Lilan smiled and comforted him, "Actually, you don’t need to worry so much, Tongtong is just a person who’s tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Although she doesn’t hold back with her words, she might have long forgiven you in her heart, so don’t worry."

Didn’t he understand Jiang Tong?

Although she was raised by the famously ruthless Old Master Jiang of the Jiang Family.

But Tongtong is someone with a warmer heart than anyone else, kinder and more sensible.

Although back then she might have truly been unable to forgive at the moment.

After all, when someone suddenly tells you that your parents don’t actually love each other and you’re just a test-tube baby.

Anyone would be dumbfounded on the spot, right?

But Tongtong has a more open view of things than anyone else; she’s probably gotten over it by now over the years.

Now she probably just doesn’t want to return.

She doesn’t want to return to take on the burden Old Master Jiang left her, so she chose to carve out her own path in the world.
