Chapter 147 Wanting Ling Ru to Become His Private Property
Facing Mr. Tang's questioning, Tang Shuya remained calm. "Men and women are meant to be together if they're compatible, and separate if they're not. There's no need for so many other reasons. Even if we take a step back, a marriage with the Hu family does bring some benefits, but it doesn't necessarily require the Hu family. It's a shame we don't have the Hu family's logistics lines right now. It'll just take some effort to develop them anew. Zhuang Yu will have to take care of that."
Tang Shuya cleverly shifted his attention to Zhuang Yu.
Zhuang Yu coughed a few times, wondering what this had to do with him.
Elder Tang had to admit that what he said made some sense. His grip on his cane slowly loosened, his expression gradually softening. He said, "At the time, I advised you not to open a branch abroad, but you refused to listen. I'm old now, and I can't handle things anymore. But I have to tell you, in a family like ours, we marry virtuous and capable women. You're already old enough to be married and have children. Originally, this wasn't something an old guy like me should have gotten involved in, but your father is useless, and your mother is like that..."
Having said this, Mr. Tang just let out a long sigh.
When Tang Shuya mentioned his mother, his eyes dimmed instantly and he stopped talking.
The atmosphere was tense for a moment. Zhuang Yu saw that something was wrong and immediately jumped in to make a joke, "Grandpa, I'm old now. Why don't you pick a wife for me? I'll be satisfied with anyone you choose."
When Master Tang heard this, he was amused by Zhuang Yu's words and glared at his grandson. "Look at that guy, Yu, how sensible and obedient he is. You don't even learn from him. You say you're busy all day long, but you don't even know what you're busy with."
Tang Shuya smiled, gave Zhuang Yu a grateful look, and said, "Why don't you let Ayu choose first? It won't be too late to come to me after he gets married."
"What are you talking about, you bastard?"
Mr. Tang pounded the floor heavily with his cane. His words were reproachful, but his tone didn't convey that meaning at all.
After leaving the villa, Tang Shuya asked Zhuang Yu to get in the car and took him back to the hotel.
Zhuang Yu carefully studied Tang Shuya's expression and asked in a low voice, "Brother Shuya, who is that woman Grandpa was talking about? Could it be Ling Zhen?"
Tang Shuya was typing a message to Ling Zhen. Upon hearing this, he looked confused and slowly asked, "How did you know?"
Back then, the only person Han Su cared about who knew about him and Ling Ruan was Zhuang Yu, besides Ruan Xingzhe, who was a doctor.
Zhuang Yu explained, "As soon as we got off the plane, I was worried you might be busy, so I called Han Su. He said he wasn't with you, so I asked him a few more questions. Don't blame Han Su, he only spoke because I forced him to."
Han Su and Zhuang Yu are Tang Shuya's right-hand men, one a warrior and the other a scholar. Han Su is responsible for handling many of Tang Shuya's private affairs, including those that are visible to others and those that are not, and also protects his safety.
Zhuang Yu is an expert in the company's business operations, and his methods and courage are no less than Tang Shuya's.
With the help of these two people, Tang Shuya was able to rise so quickly and establish himself so firmly.
Naturally, Zhuang Yu and Han Su have a close relationship.
Zhuang Yu tried to persuade her, "Honestly, I was relieved when she left. Don't get too involved. With your status, getting entangled with her too deeply won't be good for you or her."
Tang Shuya rubbed the edge of the phone with his fingertips. "I know my limits. I'm not a child anymore."
It was obvious that he hadn't listened at all, so Zhuang Yu couldn't help but get anxious. "Brother, you can fool the old man, but you can't hide it from me. I knew that the Hu family's sudden termination of cooperation and cancellation of the marriage must be related to Ling Zhen. You have many women. Didn't you live well in the three years when she was away? I would rather you be with different women like before than be obsessed with one woman like now."
"Zhuang Yu." Tang Shuya glared at him expressionlessly and warned him solemnly, "When did you become so nosy?"
Tang Shuya knew very well that he and Ling Ru were not in a romantic relationship and he did not love her.
Ever since she ran away, he even hated her for deceiving him.
He is an adult man, and at the age of full vigor and vitality, so there is no question of him remaining a virgin for her.
With his looks and status, why should he rely on himself to satisfy his physical needs? In those three years, he actually had sex with several women.
Every time he would feel bored just halfway through. Those women, whether shy or slutty, all tried to please him in every way and were insincere, so no woman could stay with him for long.
At that time, he was extremely cautious and took all necessary safety measures. He did not spend the night with them, let alone take them home. He just left the hotel after finishing the job.
It's just so realistic and simple.
Over time, he gradually lost interest in sex until he met Ling Zhen again.
She alone is alive.
Even if it is hatred, fear, crying, or anger, it is all open and honest.
Even though he was forced to have sex the first time after their reunion, he still tasted the long-lost and satisfying love.
He never thought that this woman could give him happiness he had never experienced before.
Men are just servile, and he is no exception. Three years ago, he didn't think she was that good, but in comparison, he finally realized that only her body was the best match for his.
He was addicted to it and could not get enough. He broke his vow uncontrollably. Not only did he not use any protective measures on her, he also took her home, held her in his arms and slept with her in the same bed every night.
Her every smile and frown, everything about her, perfectly fits his preferences and is completely in line with his aesthetic.
He wanted Ling Zhen to be his private property, so that she could be by his side the first time he wanted to vent or relieve stress.
This desire is stronger than it was three years ago.
Even so, he still felt that everything was under his control.
Even though it seems that he is addicted to Ling Zhen now, it is not a big problem for him.
He was confident that when the time came to break off, he could withdraw.
Now was the time to get angry, so it was useless to say anything. Zhuang Yu could only helplessly say, "Okay, okay, since you know your limits, I won't bother you with this."
Tang Shuya said unyieldingly, "You should think about your lifelong affairs. You are the only one left in your family, so it is important for you to get married and have children as soon as possible."
Zhuang Yu's eyes darkened, and after a while, he smiled: "I think so too. At least I can return to China only when the branch is on track."
Tang Shuya nodded: "Then it seems I have to get you back as soon as possible."
Zhuang Yu said, "I understand your plan. There's no need to rush this kind of thing. I've always been in charge of overseas projects, and they must always produce the best results under my leadership."
Tang Shuya's eyes gradually grew deeper. "You have a point. Anyway, you are the one who will take care of the overseas affairs. Remember, be very careful and don't let Father see anything."
"Don't worry, you don't know how I work."
