The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1719 - 1718: Spies

Yang Chan's feelings could be felt by Yang Wei, but Yang Chan's deliberate favoritism in front of so many people could easily lead to conflicts with Yang Wu. There were only three elders in the main Yang family, and such behavior from the elders could have a significant negative impact on the Yang family."Eat your food, stop with all the nonsense!"

Stimulated by Yang Chan, Yang Wu couldn't care less about sibling bonds. He moved his hand, and just as Yang Wu was about to hit Yang Chan, Yang Wei stood up and scolded him to sit down.

"Big brother, you shouldn't be so biased. Don't just think about Yang Chan and forget about your second brother. I've heard recently that you gave Yang Chan a lot of Elixir Pills, and they weren't of poor quality. But what I got were worthless herbs. Everyone says our Yang family is not harmonious and has bad internal relations. I don't think it's that the internal relations have naturally worsened, but rather someone is stirring up trouble. I don't need to say who this person is; anyone with eyes can see it."

Was Yang Wu implying that Yang Wei was stirring up trouble?

"Lao Yang, we haven't even finished half of our meal, and already it's this lively. If I finish my meal, I could probably hear all the Yang family's dirty secrets."

Tang Rao spoke with a big chicken leg in his mouth, his words a bit muffled.

"Indeed, Lao Yang, didn't you promise me that during Tang Rao's stay with the Yang family, you'd ensure peace and avoid trouble? Are you planning to go back on your word?"

The Shu Family Master saw Tang Rao speaking up and followed his lead.

"Old Shu, how can you add fuel to the fire?"

Yang Wei was most worried that Tang Rao would form a negative impression of the Yang family, concerned that Tang Rao would be displeased with the noise and leave without even staying for a meal, following the Shu Family Master back to the Shu family.

"The few of you should say less. Anyone who speaks another word can get out immediately."

Yang Wei was quite annoyed. The Yang family members present were all wary of Yang Wei's strength. Seeing that Yang Wei was getting angry, they finally shut their mouths.

The meal was spent with everyone guessing each other's thoughts. Tang Rao didn't say a word; he wasn't interested in hearing all the perfunctory pleasantries.

After the meal, Yang Wei took the Shu Family Master into the study. To be precise, Yang Wei dragged the Shu Family Master in. If the 'grudge' between the Yang family and the Shu family wasn't resolved tonight, he probably wouldn't sleep well.

The two young ones, taking advantage of the elders resolving their disputes, hurried back to their massage place to enjoy a second round of comfort.

"It's not fair, really not fair. You two are enjoying yourselves here, and I'm foolishly watching them bicker. Seeing this drama every day—aren't you tired of it? I'm tired myself."

Yang Zhi came in complaining that Tang Rao and Shu Yi were being unfair. While he was in dire straits, these two were hiding away enjoying themselves. How could they still have fun?

He wished to pour out all his grievances, hoping that Tang Rao and Shu Yi would empathize with him.

Of course, Tang Rao and Shu Yi weren't tired of it. It was their first time watching, and not only were they not bored, they found it refreshing to witness this legendary showdown.

"Your dad isn't here, why don't you go find your sweetheart? We finally get a chance to enjoy a massage here, and with your arrival, even the massage girl's hands are not as gentle as before."

Tang Rao was quite dissatisfied about this.

A good massage girl should be the kind not easily influenced by her surroundings. Clearly, this massage girl wasn't qualified.

"Tang Rao, it's just a massage girl. If you want, I'll ask my dad to get a few more so you can have more choices. But now, can you please console me? I'm about to get depressed."

Yang Zhi, holding his head, bumped it against the table.

"You, depressed?"

Shu Yi swore he wasn't trying to be rude; he just couldn't help but laugh.

"Shu Yi, why can't I be depressed? How do you know I'm not depressed? Dealing with such family members daily, don't you know I'm at my wits' end?"

Yang Zhi wanted to pinch Shu Yi, but luckily Shu Yi was quick to dodge.

"Your Yang family has been like this for generations. You should be used to it by now. How can you still not grasp it? There's a saying: 'Out of sight, out of mind.' You're already an adult; don't you get it?"

Shu Yi's words were a revelation to Yang Zhi. He had been enduring his elders and cousins, but only thought of enduring, never of turning a blind eye.

"Right, how come I never thought of that? My dad keeps telling me to endure but never told me that when I can't, I can just walk away."

Yang Zhi suddenly realized, blaming Yang Wei for always instilling negative thoughts. Only Tang Rao knew Yang Wei was doing it on purpose, as keeping the Yang family under control meant not wanting it to fall into outsiders' hands. When Yang Wei was gone, Yang Zhi would have to inherit. If Yang Zhi developed the notion of escaping, Yang Wei might become more depressed than Yang Zhi.

"Shu Yi, are the girls here beautiful?"

Tang Rao slapped Shu Yi's head. Shu Yi didn't even know why he was hit, and though slapped for no reason, he was in a daze, not understanding how he had offended Tang Rao.

"Yes, they are beautiful."

Shu Yi answered honestly.

"Do you think those beautiful girls could be spies for Lao Yang?"

Tang Rao asked, followed by a second slap.

"Yes, they could be."

Shu Yi answered honestly again.

He still hadn't figured out why Tang Rao hit him.

"If those beautiful girls report to Lao Yang that you advised Yang Zhi to stay out of family issues, would Lao Yang trouble you?"

After all, Yang Zhi was the successor Lao Yang had painstakingly groomed!

Tang Rao shared his analysis with Shu Yi, leading Shu Yi to slap himself, "Why didn't I think of that?"

"Yang Zhi, I must tell you, the Yang family is vast and prosperous. If you stay, your future is limitless. Your dad's painstakingly established empire, you should guard it well, and don't disappoint those who believe in you. Never give up prematurely."

Just having told people to turn a blind eye, he then turned around to persuade Yang Zhi not to leave this promising place.

"I've already made up my mind. When my dad comes out, I'll tell him I want to leave home and explore like you guys. The empire he built will always be his; there's no way he'll make me guard it!"

Not that Shu Yi's brainwashing was particularly effective, but after a few words, Yang Zhi took them to heart, feeling that Shu Yi made perfect sense.
