In front of so many people, she gave her grandmother such an inauspicious object. This, this grandmother already didn't like her, now isn't she completely without hope?! When will her identity as the second young mistress of the Tang family be officially recognized? At this moment, Tang Ling's mind was filled with thoughts of her own glorious future. Lin Fen was also stunned. She had personally chosen this gift, and she had picked the gift box as well. How could it have changed without any reason? 'Mom, don't be angry yet. Maybe Tang Ling took the wrong thing! Even if Tang Ling doesn't understand things, she wouldn't be foolish enough to give this away! Please calm down, I'll go check what's going on right now!' Lin Fen's face also showed panic, and she hurriedly spoke, preparing to go to the storage room at the back to check. 'Wait.' 'Lin Fen, are you saying that someone specifically brought this item to give me as a birthday gift today?' Old Madam Tang looked at the various female relatives seated at the tables and shook her head, 'Enough, put this away, and don't let me see it again.' What she meant was, let's stop here. To take ten thousand steps back, even if it wasn't Tang Ling who sent it, in front of so many people, if it were found out who did, it wouldn't look good, and it would only cause more trouble. Even if they investigated, it could only be done quietly after the event. Could they really make a big fuss and let everyone know that someone sent a clock as a birthday gift to Old Madam Tang of the Tang family?

! "Mom..." Tang Ling stood there aggrieved, casting a resentful glance at Lin Fen, who had stopped in her tracks. If it weren't for her mother's sudden idea to have her deliver a gift to Grandma, how could she have been drenched with this stinky, dirty water? Lin Fen took a deep breath, slowly turned around, and looked at Tang Ling. She gritted her teeth and suddenly, a slap flew out. It landed mercilessly on Tang Ling's face! Tang Ling was so shocked that she forgot to cover herself, staring blankly at her mother! "You unfilial wretch! How could I have given birth to such a thoughtless thing like you? You didn't even check the gift before presenting it! How could you be so ignorant as to bring such a thing to your grandmother?" Lin Fen said through gritted teeth, raising her hand for another slap that knocked down the other half of Tang Ling's face, "Why are you still standing there? Get out of here at once, no going out for a week, and reflect on your mistakes!" Tang Ling immediately started crying, covering her highly swollen cheeks, looking at her mother in disbelief, and ran out with a sob. Watching her daughter leave in distress, Lin Fen wasn't any less heartbroken, but there was no other way now. If she didn't punish her, how couldThe old lady's health is already not good，Before the matter is thoroughly investigated，I can't be angry with her anymore。 “Okay。I don't even look at what time it is now，I don't even know how to teach my daughter a lesson？ Grandma's anger be appeased? However, this way, Tang Ling might have to stay away from the Tang family for a while. Grandma's health is already poor, and she can't be upset any further before the matter is clarified. "Enough. Don't you realize what time it is? Even teaching your daughter, you don't know to keep it private?"

From a distance, a loud and powerful voice came through. Tang Zhengyuan, who was in conversation, also saw this scene and walked over with a darkened face. 'It's all because of the good daughter you raised,' Tang Zhengyuan rebuked Lin Fen in a low voice, then hurried towards Old Madam Tang, while gesturing to Tang Mo, who was standing aside quietly watching the drama. 'Mo Mo, aren't you coming over to keep your grandma company?' Only then did Tang Mo respond, walking over obediently with a charming and lovely smile on her face. 'Grandma, today is your birthday, you must not get angry, whatever would we do if it harmed your health? Your granddaughter knows you like playing mahjong, so I specially found you a set of ivory mahjong tiles, they feel really good. After we finish eating, shall I play a round with you?'

In the corridor beside the hotel garden stood a tall and unrestrained figure. 'Ting Ge, what are you watching so intently?' Young Master Huang San saw that Hua Tingnian's gaze was fixed on the distance and walked over, curious. 'Watching a drama. A good show of playing the fool to catch the wise.' Hua Tingnian said with interest, his gaze moving away from the bustle in the hotel garden. It's hard to tell, such a young girl, yet she has quite a few tricks up her sleeve. And she's bold too. On their first meeting, she dared to negotiate terms with him. Young Master Huang San was completely confused, not knowing what he was talking about, but at this moment, he had no time to worry about other people's affairs. 'Ting Ge, you must help me out this time. My old man found out about this incident and has skinned me alive! He said that no matter what, we must make up for the losses this time!'

As Huang San Shao Ye spoke in a familiar tone, calling everyone brother and leading Hua Ting Nian towards the elevator inside, he said, 'Brother Ting, as long as you're willing to help, whatever I, your younger brother, can do, just say the word!' Chen Yang, standing by, coughed lightly and walked forward to press the elevator button first. This Huang San Shao Ye, with his little white face, could change his tune faster than the face-changing in Sichuan opera. Just a few days ago, he was looking down on Brother Ting for his humble origins, deeming him unworthy to cooperate with Huang San Shao. But now, he's been flattering him incessantly, piling up gifts almost to the skies, and now he's calling him 'Brother Ting' non-stop, making one's skin crawl! Hua Ting Nian's lips curled into a faint smile, neither accepting nor refusing, and reached out his hand towards Chen Yang, who immediately pulled out a cigarette and handed it to him. 'Let me, let me!' Huang San Shao Ye rushed ahead of Chen Yang to take out a lighter and lit the cigarette for Hua Ting Nian, chuckling, 'Brother Ting, the other day it was your younger brother who failed to recognize Mount Tai. Since ancient times, heroes have not been judged by their origins; it was your younger brother's foolishness to have grown a pair of dog's eyes! Please do not take offense...' Looking down on others with a dog's eyes, otherwise how could he have misjudged? Wasn't Zhu Yuanzhang once just a beggar? Hua Ting Nian turned his head, lit the cigarette with the flame, took a puff, and then slowly exhaled, his sinisterly handsome face looking at Huang San Shao Ye through the curling smoke. 'There's no need for self-deprecation, San Shao Ye. I, Hua Ting Nian, may be of humble origins, but I am indeed no match for the noble San Shao Ye.' The elevator arrived quickly, and Hua Ting Nian stepped in first. 'No, no, no, Brother Ting, you are so magnanimous! Please don't mock your younger brother anymore, how about giving your younger brother a chance to make amends?'

As Huang San Shao Ye stepped forward and snapped his fingers, a stunningly beautiful and enchanting woman came walking towards them gracefully along the red-carpeted corridor. Upon closer inspection, one would find her somewhat familiar. "Brother Ting, this is Chen Yalan, the current hotshot and sought-after superstar. How about letting her keep you company for the next couple of days?" Huang San Shao Ye said with a beaming smile. Chen Yalan had once received his favor. Normally, he wouldn't have made this move so soon, but he couldn't overcome this hurdle, and the position of the Huang family's heir was at stake. Huang San Shao Ye then leaned close to Hua Ting Nian's ear and whispered a few words, casting a sinister glance at Chen Yalan. "Don't worry, Brother Ting, she's different from other female stars; I've kept a close watch on her, she's absolutely clean..." Chen Yang, who was standing in front of the elevator, silently turned around, eyes front and mind focused, while keeping an eye on the changing elevator floor numbers out of the corner of his eye. To be able to invite Chen Yalan, who had such high exposure recently, Huang San Shao Ye had indeed spared no expense. "What do you say, Brother Ting? Could you honor us with your presence and join us at the Jade Palace tonight?" As Huang San Shao Ye spoke, he pulled Chen Yalan over and pushed her into Hua Ting Nian's arms. The action was a bit rough, and Chen Yalan, pushed by Huang San Shao Ye, stumbled and fell right into Hua Ting Nian's embrace. "Since Shao Ye is so generous, it would seem ungrateful of me to refuse any longer."

Hua Tingyun curled his lips into a wicked smile, his slender fingertips lifting Chen Yalan's chin in his arms. He leaned close and whispered something frivolous and ambiguous in her ear. This relaxed Chen Yalan, who had been somewhat nervous, and her charming face softened, her cheeks flushed as she buried her face in his embrace. Chen Yang behind them breathed a sigh of relief, having watched the elevator go up and down three times. Tingge's matter was finally settled. The price offered by Young Master Huang San was very high, and it was only a matter of time before Tingge agreed, so this Chen Yalan was just a stepping stone for Tingge... Towards evening. After the banquet ended, Tang Mo played mahjong with the old lady for an afternoon. Only after the old lady grew tired and went back did Tang Mo go to change clothes, as she still had to meet friends later. Tang Mo walked towards her room while on the phone. 'Jade Palace? Okay, I got it, Miaomiao.' 'Don't worry, I remember the promise I made to you...'
