Chapter 17

Ye Heng:?

Tang Mingxi said innocently, "You're too tall. You blocked my view."

Over there, Wang Min was already screaming herself hoarse. "Tang Yu, are you even human? I treated you so well, and you dared to cheat on me!"

Tang Yu hurriedly said, "Minmin, listen to me explain. It's not what you think. I threw a celebration party because I secured the Azure Luo Bay contract. Shanshan is just my date..."

But an enraged woman could not hear anything. She kept beating Tang Yu with the Hermès Birkin in her hand, leaving him in a miserable state.

"Go to hell, Tang Yu! Secured the Azure Luo Bay contract? Threw a celebration party? Since when was the Azure Luo Bay contract secured by you?! You really have no shame. Not a single word out of your mouth is true!"

The entire room erupted.

Even Tang Yu froze. He abruptly grabbed Wang Min's wrist, his eyes wide with fury. "What did you say?"

"Do you need me to repeat it for my former cousin-in-law?" Tang Mingxi stood up innocently and said, "Since you didn't secure the Azure Luo Bay contract, then of course Ye Heng did."

Hearing his name, Ye Heng turned around and looked at him in surprise.

He had originally thought Tang Mingxi would claim the credit for himself.

"Say that again!" Tang Yu flew into a rage. "You're nothing but a useless piece of trash who leeches off his brother! You think you're qualified to secure the Azure Luo Bay contract?!"

Tang Mingxi covered his chest as if wounded and said gloomily, "Cousin, you're right. I'm just a useless piece of trash who grew up living off the fifty million in monthly allowance my brother gave me, then accidentally married a husband who casually secured a one-billion Azure Luo Bay contract after growing up."

He sniffed and tore the sapphire tie clip from his suit. "Even my tie clip is just a thirty-million-dollar sapphire. It doesn't have nearly as much meaning as Cousin's watch. TT (fake crying)."

The onlookers: ...

Why did they suddenly want to slap these damned rich people? :)

After thinking about it, Tang Mingxi corrected himself innocently. "It should be Ye Heng's watch now."

"Tang Mingxi!!!" Tang Yu gritted his teeth and lunged at him.

Ye Heng kicked Tang Yu squarely in the chest, sending him to his knees in pain.

Wang Min was stunned by the scene, holding up the Hermès Birkin without knowing whether she should continue hitting him.

Tang Mingxi said, "Miss Wang."

Wang Min looked at him, her eyes full of tears.

He grabbed several solid glass display bricks from the table and stuffed four or five into the Birkin. The Hermès's destructive power instantly rose to nuclear-weapon levels. Righteously, he said, "I'm such an upright person. Of course I stand with reason, not family. It's a little heavy, but make do with it."

Wang Min finally burst into tears.

Tang Yu climbed up from the floor, gritting his teeth as he stared at Tang Mingxi. Then he saw Ye Heng standing beside Tang Mingxi like a vicious dog.

In the end, he lowered his voice and pleaded with Wang Min, "Minmin, listen to me explain. It really isn't what you think. I thought you were the one who helped me secure the Azure Luo Bay contract..."

"Really?" Tang Mingxi smiled. "Cousin, why don't you turn around and help your new wife? I'm afraid she's pregnant and wearing high heels. It must be exhausting for her to stand."

Tang Yu stared at him. "What did you say?"

Shanshan's little face turned deathly pale, and she instinctively covered her stomach. "Brother Yu..."

Tang Yu flew into a rage and grabbed Shanshan by the throat. "You're fucking pregnant? You fucking set me up?! You dared get pregnant without my permission??"

"That's enough." Tang Mingxi's expression turned cold.

Wang Min screamed. Her heart, which had softened slightly, went completely cold.

In a towering rage, she swung the Hermès Birkin and smashed it into Tang Yu's head. Blood immediately poured from his head, and Shanshan finally escaped death.

"Ye Heng, I'm tired of standing. Get me a chair."

He really was tired of standing. His voice was soft, almost coquettish, and Ye Heng's fingers curled slightly.

Tang Mingxi sat in the chair Ye Heng brought over, crossing his legs as he looked down at Tang Yu.

Only then did Tang Yu belatedly sense something chillingly wrong.

"From now on, you won't be in charge of Huanyu Real Estate anymore. Mingheng will acquire Huanyu Real Estate next, with Ye Heng serving as general manager and taking full control of the Azure Luo Bay land development project." Tang Mingxi smiled. "Cousin, you're old enough to get married. How can a man establish a career without settling down? Your new wife is pregnant, so you should spend more time with her at home. Ye Heng, give Cousin and his wife some maternity leave."

He paused, then slowly said under Tang Yu's despairing gaze, "Your wife was frightened today. It might affect her pregnancy, so give Cousin three years of maternity leave first."

The previously lively banquet hall fell so silent that a pin dropping could be heard.

Tang Yu collapsed on the floor, muttering, "Impossible... impossible. You have no right to acquire Huanyu. I'm going to find my dad... I'm going to find my dad..."

Tang Mingxi glanced at his watch, intending to end today's farce. "Chairman Tang Yun's signed documents will be sent to every employee's email in ten minutes. If anyone has objections, they can speak directly with Director Ye."

Tang Yu sprang up like a madman. "Impossible! Tang Mingxi, you're screwing with me!"

Tang Mingxi paused, then shook his head. His beautiful features carried a trace of innocence. "Cousin's mental state doesn't seem very good either. It must have been caused by that kick you gave him earlier."

Ye Heng, blamed out of nowhere: ...

Tang Mingxi pulled three hundred yuan from his pocket and threw it in front of Tang Yu.

The bills fluttered down. Tang Mingxi said, "Go register at the city hospital and get some medicine for your brain. How pitiful."

Tang Mingxi sighed, shaking his head as he strode away on his long, straight legs. "Give Cousin another seven years of sick leave!"

Tang Yu, who had just struggled back to consciousness, heard those words and immediately rolled his eyes back, passing out from anger.

Only then did the banquet hall gradually fill with noise again. The reporters came to their senses and swarmed after Tang Mingxi, only to be blocked by more than a dozen bodyguards in black. They could only watch the second young master of the Tang family walk farther and farther away.

Mingheng and Huanyu, two major subsidiaries of the Tang family business, had undergone a transfer of power in just a few words from Tang Mingxi.

No one noticed the thin layer of cold sweat that had already formed on their backs.

After leaving, Tang Mingxi stretched lazily. Thinking about the two hundred yuan he had just lost, he became more and more unwilling to let it go.

He turned and saw Ye Heng, then said somewhat unhappily, "Tang Yu was definitely kicked stupid by you. The three hundred yuan registration fee I gave him should be deducted from your allowance."

Ye Heng, who had not received a single cent in allowance yet but was already eight hundred yuan in debt: ...

Ye Heng suddenly said, "You haven't given me my allowance today."

Tang Mingxi: ...

Dog of a male lead. Tang Mingxi silently cursed, then reluctantly gave Ye Heng one thousand yuan.

Ye Heng had only had the money for five seconds, not even long enough to warm it in his hand, when Tang Mingxi said, "Shouldn't you show some appreciation?"

What a familiar opening.

What familiar words.

Ye Heng instinctively asked, "Appreciate what?"

Tang Mingxi cleared his throat and hinted, "You got promoted, Director Ye. Shouldn't you treat me to dinner?"

An hour later.

The newly promoted Director Ye's assets went from negative eight hundred to negative three thousand.

The young man, already buried under mounting troubles, became even poorer.

Chapter 13: You there? Lend me money

Watching Ye Heng pay the bill expressionlessly, Tang Mingxi's conscience, as though it had been chewed by a dog, finally surfaced a tiny bit.

But when he got into the car and remembered Ye Heng's billion-yuan contract, the little conscience Second Young Master Tang possessed instantly vanished into thin air!

He was so rich. Shouldn't he give some to his legal wife? :)

Tang Mingxi gave a soft hum and muttered, "Ye Heng, when the Azure Luo Bay project recovers its first funds, you have to give me half."

Ye Heng paused and turned to look at him. "Why?"
