Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

The third son of the Zhuang family was so angry that he clenched his fists. The screen that they had spent so much money to get was carried away by Old Master Zhuang with just a glance. However, even if Zhuang Liu had gotten a pot of flowers, he would be happy to accept it. The old man was really biased.

Moreover, if they were late, Old Master Zhuang would definitely be angry. However, even when Zhuang Liu was already so late, not only did Old Master Zhuang not get angry, but he even found excuses for Zhuang Liu. This made him unable to swallow his anger.

“Dad, 1 understand that Xiao Liu is not in good health, but today is your birthday banquet. There are so many people watching. It seems too appropriate for him to be late, right?” Third Uncle Zhuang of the Zhuang family deliberately provoked conflict. “Grandfather and Uncle are both here. He’s just a junior. Why is he late?”

His words resonated with others. The guests present all accused Zhuang Liu of being insensible. They even said that his temper had become worse after his injury and that he had not returned to the Capital for the New Year for several years. There were also rumors that he came back this time for the position of the head of the family. Otherwise, why would he not come back for so many years? This year, Old Master Zhuang was going to announce who the next head of the Zhuang family was, which was why he came back in a hurry.

Old Master Zhuang favored Zhuang Liu. If Zhuang Liu had not been injured, the position of the head of the Zhuang family would have long been Zhuang Liu’s. When he heard the crowd talking about Zhuang Liu like this, his expression immediately turned ugly. “Who the next head of the Zhuang family will be is our own business. It’s not up to anyone else to decide.”

When everyone heard him say this, they did not dare to say anything else. Only Third Uncle Zhuang was not afraid of scolding. He continued, “If Big Brother was awake, he would definitely not let Xiao Liu do this.”

After saying that, he glanced at Shen Jing.

Shen Jing understood what he meant. She sneered. “Third Brother, do you think 1 didn’t educate our son well?”

Third Uncle Zhuang grinned. “Sister-in-law, I didn’t mean that. You’ve misunderstood me.”

When Old Master Zhuang heard Third Uncle Zhuang mention Zhuang Yan, he felt a wave of sadness in his heart. Zhuang Yan was supposed to be the head of the Zhuang family, but he had suddenly become a cripple after a car accident. If he had not been in an accident, he would not have to worry about who should be the head of the family.

“How is Zhuang Yan doing recently?” Old Master Zhuang asked Shen Jing. Although he knew that the chances were slim, he still wanted to ask.

Shen Jing said with a smile, “All Yan has shown signs of improvement recently. There were a few times when 1 saw his eye moving, and sometimes his fingers would move a few times. The doctor also said that he might wake up soon.” Zhuang Liu had asked her to say this.

Before Old Master Zhuang could be happy, Third Uncle Zhuang could not sit still anymore. He stood up and shouted, “How is that possible? Didn’t the doctor say that there was only a 3% chance of Yang waking up?”

Shen Jing rolled her eyes and said in an unfriendly tone, “What does Third Brother mean by that? “Do you not want your brother to wake up? Besides, the doctor said that there was a 3% chance, not zero. Why couldn’t he wake up?”

Old Master Zhuang was furious. “Third Brother,” he scolded, “from your reaction, do you not want your brother to recover?”

Third Uncle Zhuang was a little flustered. “No, I… 1 definitely hope that big brother will wake up soon, but I’m also worried that sister-in-law and the others will be happy for nothing.”

“You don’t have to worry about that, Third Brother. Your big brother is recovering very well. 1 saw him move his hand with my own eyes, so it can’t be fake.” Shen Jing continued.

Old Master Zhuang felt a little gratified. “Good! That’s good.”

Only Third Uncle Zhuang and his son had very ugly expressions. They knew very well that that idiot had not become a vegetable because of the car accident, but because he had taken a kind of sleeping medicine. Didn’t they say that taking that kind of medicine would only cause one to slowly fall asleep? Why was there still a possibility of waking up?

Third Uncle Zhuang looked at Shen Jing suspiciously. Shen Jing was smiling and her face was rosy. She did not look like she had been poisoned. Could it be that they had met the divine doctor after leaving the Capital? Or did that old fart Bai Jing really develop an antidote for them?

“Grandpa, I’m late.” Zhuang Liu arrived late. He was still sitting in a wheelchair, and his face looked quite good.

For the first time, Third Uncle Zhuang felt that Zhuang Liu had come at the right time. Otherwise, the old man would definitely ask him.

“Xiao Liu, today is the old master’s birthday. Is it appropriate for a grandson like you to come so late? Aunt said you went to prepare a gift for the old man. Where’s yours?” Zhuang Che asked loudly.

Zhuang Liu smiled lightly and replied, “I’ve already taken out my gift..”
