The Bowl of Seven Emotions

Tang Susu's expression remained unchanged as she nodded towards Xue Jun. "Hello, Uncle Xue."

Xue Jun laughed heartily. "Don't be so polite, Susu. You've grown into a beautiful young woman."

After the initial introductions, she was largely ignored. A group of successful businessmen were dining together, and their conversation revolved around topics women couldn't participate in.

Listening to them discuss promising land deals, rising small companies, and newly implemented national policies, Tang Susu quietly sat and ate.

She couldn't quite understand Tang Qiming's intentions. Even with Xue Jun present, what was the point of bringing her along? Could he be forcing her into something?

After the meal, the dishes were cleared, and the group moved to an adjacent lounge for tea.

The waitress serving them offered a cup of tea to Tang Susu, but Tang Qiming stopped her. "Too much tea isn't good for young ladies. Bring her a fresh glass of grape juice."

Tang Susu used to love grape juice. She was a little surprised that Tang Qiming remembered such a small detail.

The waitress smiled and nodded, leaving the room. Shortly after, she returned with several glasses of juice. She handed the grape juice to Tang Susu and then distributed the other juices to the women present.

Due to her different status, she couldn't join the other women. She sat alone, sipping her juice, bored, waiting for the evening to end.

Listening to the men's conversation, she felt drowsy. Her eyelids felt heavy, and once closed, she didn't want to open them.

The surrounding sounds grew distant until she couldn't hear them anymore.

The dinner party finally ended close to 9 pm. Tang Qiming got up to see the guests off. Most of them, instead of leaving, headed upstairs with their female companions.

Tang Qiming didn't close the door immediately. He stood there for a moment, and soon, hurried footsteps approached. Xue Jun's face quickly appeared in his view.

Tang Qiming wasn't surprised by Xue Jun's return. He stepped aside and placed a room key card into Xue Jun's hand. "She's all yours."

Xue Jun chuckled and patted his shoulder. "Don't worry."

With that, he closed the door with a bang.

Tang Qiming adjusted his clothes and walked out unhurriedly.

Inside the room, Xue Jun put the key card in his pocket and walked towards the living room.

Tang Susu lay on the sofa, her long hair covering her face. Her breathing was steady; she was clearly in a deep sleep.

Having been briefed by Tang Qiming earlier, Xue Jun knew she wouldn't wake up anytime soon. The lust in his eyes was no longer concealed as he approached the sofa.

…

At 2:30 am, Xue Yang was jolted awake by his ringing phone.

He angrily grabbed the phone. "Damn it, which idiot is calling me in the middle of the night?"

"Young Master Yang, something happened to the boss," the man on the other end stammered.

"What happened? Did he get caught soliciting a prostitute?" Xue Yang switched on his bedside lamp and sat up.

"The boss was hit by a falling chandelier. He lost a lot of blood and is in the hospital undergoing emergency surgery."

"… Shit." Xue Yang was stunned. "Which hospital?"

"Guowen Hospital."

"Okay, I'll be right there. You keep an eye on things." He jumped out of bed before finishing his sentence.

"Yes, yes."

With Xue Yang's instructions, the caller felt slightly relieved. Sitting on the cold chair, looking at the closed operating room doors, his heart felt equally cold.

They were bodyguards and should have been with their boss. However, tonight, the boss seemed to have other plans and had given them separate rooms while he went elsewhere.

Who would have thought that when they found him, he was already in hemorrhagic shock?

The chances of being hit by a falling chandelier were probably lower than winning the lottery!

Ten minutes later, Xue Yang arrived at the hospital and found the operating room. Seeing his bodyguards huddled in a corner, he walked over with a grim expression and kicked one of them. "Get up and tell me what happened."

Seeing Xue Yang, the bodyguard quickly stood up and nervously explained, "Mr. Tang hosted a dinner party tonight. The boss gave us separate rooms. He said he'd be out by 2 am, but when we knocked on his door, we found him like that."

At first glance, the bodyguard's words seemed perfectly reasonable. It was just a dinner. Xue Yang was no stranger to such things and knew what really went on.

What kind of dinner lasted until 2 am? It was obvious he was with a woman.

Although his old man was lecherous, he was notoriously timid. When he played around, his bodyguards always waited in the living room of the suite. This time, he didn't even take his bodyguards with him. What kind of woman was she?

"Where did you find my father?"

"In the private dining room."

Xue Yang almost laughed. "At 1 am, he was in the dining room? Was he alone when you arrived?"

"Yes, he was alone."

Xue Yang smacked his lips and grabbed the bodyguard's tie, pulling him closer. "Come on, tell me, which beauty did my father fancy so much that he couldn't even be bothered to go to a hotel room and had to do it in the dining room?"

"Young Master Yang, we really don't know!" The bodyguard was almost in tears. They were just bodyguards, not confidants. How could they know such things? The boss wouldn't inform them beforehand about which woman he was going to sleep with. They only vaguely guessed something from his phone call, and even if they had guessed, they wouldn't dare speak about it.

"Who hosted the dinner tonight?"

"The chairman of Tang Corp., along with several other company CEOs."

Hearing "Tang Corp.", a cold glint flashed in Xue Yang's eyes. "What about the women?"

"Just, just a few minor celebrities, models, and such…"

Seeing the bodyguard's evasive eyes, Xue Yang kicked him and roared, "I don't have the patience to play guessing games with you. Was there anyone else?"

"Yes, yes, there was also Mr. Tang's daughter. She arrived later."

"Holy shit—"

After hearing the bodyguard's words, Xue Yang was speechless. He paced back and forth, then kicked a nearby plastic chair.

Tang Susu!

Damn it, it was actually Tang Susu.

His old man was courting death by still pursuing Tang Susu!

Even a month ago, if his old man had said he wanted to sleep with Tang Susu, he wouldn't have thought much of it. But now, with the Huang family's situation as a clear example, anyone who still dared to go after Tang Susu was simply asking for trouble.

The Huang family merely invited Tang Susu for a visit and didn't even touch a hair on her head, yet they suffered terrible misfortune afterward. In the end, Huang Qi himself had to apologize and offer lavish gifts, begging for mercy.

His old man, on the other hand, had gone and done the unthinkable.
