Chapter 391 Father and Son Argue
When Brown finds that Lang Qi not only has more than a few wineries, but also has an old castle and several stores, his heart is filled with more anxiety. No wonder Lang Qi dared to leave simply and completely, for he had left so much to himself.
âThe property all belong to my mother, to Anselm Family!â Brown says fiercely, âThere is something wrong with the family business now. Since he has got so many things from Anselm Family, he canât stay out of it.â
His underlings look at each other, thinking that something went wrong because Brown took his own course. He had to compete with other families to take bread out of their mouths so they retaliatedâ¦
âOtherwise youâd better call Master Lang Qi, for he may not know the current situation of the family. If he knows it, he must not stand idly by.â
Brown hesitates. He doesnât want to make the call. He just wants to sell the unrelated industries to subsidize the familyâs business. But if he makes the call, it will mean that he admits him to be incapable and canât deal with it, so he has to ask Lang Qi for help.
But he is not reconciled to do so!
After much deliberation, he still makes a phone call. He recites the words he thought just now. The words are at the tip of his tongue, but he hears the mechanical female voice from the opposite side.
âSorry! The number you dialed is out of service.â
Brown holds the phone and is stunned. His face twists after a few seconds, and he throws the phone severely, âF**k!â
A week later, he appears at Yanjingâs airport. Brown gets into the car with a dark face, but he has no other choices. The other families are eyeing covetously, threatening to swallow up the business of Anselm Family.
He canât move a step under their pressure every time he takes actions. He could still revolt before, but now he will soon be turned into a fish on the cutting board, allowing himself to be trampled upon.
âStill unable to get in touch with my father?â Brown asks, âWhat about K? Canât find him?â
âI found himâ¦â His underling makes an ambiguous statement, âBut K said that he was on vacation, and Master wouldnât let him come back but let him have fun.â
Brownâs eyes darken, âDidnât you say that I need him for help?â
âI said.â His underling quickly says, âHe said that he could not disobey Master Lang Qiâs order.â
âOhâ¦â Brown clenches the fists. His view about K is right. The guy was obedient since he was a kid. And he grew up to be as loyal as his fatherâs dog, âHave you found my fatherâs address?â
Immediately his underling gives him a note. The place is easy to find. Lang Ruoxian and Tang Family are famous in Yanjing, not to mention that Lang Qi has been active recently.
âShall we go back to the hotel first orâ¦?â
Brown says, âNo, go straight to where he lives.â
Lang Qi rejects Tang Yaoâs invitation to bet on horses today, and Tang Yao leaves with a face of disappointment. When he walks to the gate of the villa area, Tang Yao sees a strange car parking there. A foreigner is talking to the security guard.
He hears they mention Lang Qiâs name, and then turns around and runs back.
âLang Qi! Lang Qi!â Tang Yao runs back to Lang Qiâs house. Tang Duo is about to take the twins to the house of Tang Family. She is shocked to see his face of panic.
âWhat happened, Dad?â
Tang Yao gasps, âA few foreigners are looking for Brother Qi!â
âDad?â Tang Duo turns to look at Lang Qi.
Lang Qi waves his hand, âItâs all right. It should be my adopted son coming.â
âBrown?â Tang Duoâs face changes color as soon as she hears it.
Tang Yao doesnât know that Brown kidnapped Tang Duo before. He breathes a sigh of relief and says, âOh, I thought that they would trouble you, or I would bring them in.â
âDad, you canât catch up with the horse racing today if you donât leave now.â Tang Duo shows him the watch.
Tang Yao lets out a cry, âI have to go now! Brother Qi, take your adopted son over to have dinner later!â
He quickly runs away again. Tang Duo puts the twins in the carts, âDad, I shall go over there. Itâs your own business. Donât worry about us.â
âSilly girl!â Lang Qi smiles, âI wonât let you get wronged. Just go!â
Tang Duo hurriedly returns to the house of Tang Family. She glances around for a while before entering, âMom, is my grandma here?â
âShe went to the activity room. Is there something wrong?â Bai Susu fed Lulu just now. She is combing its hair. She and the dog look up at her.
Tang Duo holds the twins out, âMom, Brown has come.â
âWhere?â Bai Susu clenches her hands and Lulu purrs.
âItâs estimated that he has arrived in our house.â Tang Duo smooths Luluâs hair, âMy dad saw it, and he met them at the gate.â
Bai Susu wipes her hands, âDoes Ruoxian know it?â
âHe should know it.â Tang Duo thinks that Lang Ruoxian might have known such a thing for a long time. Maybe he had secretly planned something.
Bai Susu kisses the twins. Sweet Orange hasnât woken up yet, and rushes at her arms to continue to sleep. Anâan stumbles to the kitchen. His latest hobby is to watch the housemaid cook. Tang Duo is worried that he would like to be a cook in the future.
âThen we canât involve. Wait and see what your father-in-law will do.â Bai Susu walks to the sofa and sits down, âThis matter should be left to Lang Ruoxian to take care of, and we wonât intervene.â
Tang Duo nods, âIf we intervene, my grandma and dad will find out what happened before, and it will be boring if I intervene. Do I have to confront Brown?â
âWhy does he suddenly come to Hua Country?â Bai Susu wonders, âIt is said that he took over the family business and kicked Lang Qi off. But now he visitsâ¦â
âMaybe he canât deal with it.â Tang Duo thinks of Lang Ruoxianâs words, which means that Brown is not capable.
It is unknown when Tang Cao stands at the entrance of the stairs. He curses, âWhy does the bastard dare to come?â
âHe didnât think that we had knew it.â Tang Duo smiles a little coldly, âHe regards others as fools. How can such a person manage a large family well?â
Tang Caoâs hair is still messy, and he hurriedly wants to go out, âIs he at Uncle Lang Qiâs house? Iâll go and see!â
âYou come back!â Bai Susu stops him, âWhat are you going to do?â
âIâll hit him!â Tang Cao grabs his hair, âHe has come to the door. What are you waiting for?â
Tang Duo smacks her lips, âI guess that you really canât beat him. I remember Ruoxian said that Brown was good at Sanda and even won some prizes.
âWell⦠I just remember that I hasnât had breakfast.â Tang Cao sneaks back and runs to the kitchen.
Bai Susu glares at him angrily, âNot promising!â
Brown stands in front of Lang Qiâs villa but doesnât go in. He gazes across the lake. He knows that the Tang Family members live there. Thinking of Tang Duo he saw in the surveillance before, he has to admit that even if he has seen all kinds of beautiful women, Tang Duo still impresses him.
Itâs a pity⦠She has already been Lang Ruoxianâs wife.
âYoung Master?â
Brown raises his hand, âYou wait for me at the door.â
He is about to ring the doorbell, and the door suddenly opens. Lang Qi stands inside and looks at him.
âFather.â Brown calls.
âCome in.â Lang Qi lets him in with no expression.
Brown looks at the villa, and there are decorations of Hua Country style everywhere. He hides the ridicule in his eyes, âIt seems that Father still likes things of Hua Country.â
âFallen leaves return to their roots is the wish of everyone in Hua Country.â Lang Qi sits down and lifts his chin, âThe decoration of this house was designed by my daughter-in-law. She probably knows that I have drifted abroad for so many years and might be interested in the things of homeland.â
Lang Qi smiles, âI like the decoration very much.â
âIt seems that Father is in a good mood for returning to your own country. You laughs more than ever before.â Brownâs tone is vague, âWhy didnât you come back earlier? Is the property of Anselm Family so attractive?â
Lang Qi glances at him, âYou come all the way to tell me this?â
ââ¦Iâm here to see how you have been. Being a son, this is normal!â Brown pauses, âI am thinking if youâre not used to it, Iâll take you back.â
He glances inadvertently and sees the family photo on the table next to him. Lang Ruoxian and Tang Duo were each hugging a baby. Lang Qi sits in the middle, two older children standing at his left and right.
âA family reunionâ¦â Brownâs eyes darken, âI havenât congratulated your reunion with your biological son. It seems that you will definitely stay here and wonât go back.â
Lang Qi seems not to understand what he said and makes himself a cup of tea, âYou should say return, this is my home. Donât you drink tea? There is cola in the kitchen refrigerator.â
âFather, Iâm not here for tea or cola!â Brown pulls a long face, âDonât you really know what happened to the family?â
âOh? What happened?â Lang Qi sips the tea, âI have handed over you the family. You are the new patriarch. How can I know what happened when I am thousands of miles away?â
Brown is anxious, but he holds back the anxiety and says, âAfter you left, other families suddenly shot at us, and in a few months we lost incomes of some places. They want to swallow up the business of our family!â
âWhy did they suddenly steal away the business of Anselm Family?â Lang Qi raises his eyebrows.
Brownâs eyes flash, âHow can I know? Father, didnât you incite them to do so? You donât want to hand over the family to me, so you collude with them to deal with me, so I have to invite you back and return the position of patriarch to you.â
âDo you really think so?â Lang Qi looks at him, his eyes as indifferent as in the past few decades.
Brown draws back his neck instinctively. This is the look that he has been most afraid of. When he was a kid, he didnât dare to speak when he saw Lang Qi. He knew that his adoptive father didnât like him.
Mother chose him as the heir, and his adoptive father was unhappy.
âYou are now reunited with your biological son. Do you still want to hand over Anselm Family to an outsider?â Despite the fear, the thirst for the huge property makes Brown continue to say, âThe people in the family will not agree, and my mother is watching you in the heaven!â
The space seems suddenly to be quiet. Brown meets Lang Qiâs eyes and lowers his head after a few seconds.
Lang Qi rubs the edge of the tea cup and sighs, âWhat the hell keeps you thinking that I donât want to hand over Anselm Family to you? What did your mother say when she died, you remember?â
What Laura told the father and son before her death was to make Brown obedient and learn from Lang Qi well. Whenever Lang Qi felt that he could let go, he would hand over the family to Brown.
âBut⦠But I think I can take it over.â Brown thinks of what his mother had said before she died. Certainly he remembers it.
âYou donât believe me.â Lang Qi smiles, âTo be honest, Anselm Family is nothing in my eyes. I stayed there to repay Lauraâs life-saving grace. That family means wealth to you, but it means a prison to me.â
