The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1720 - 1719: The Wager

"Brother, I told you, when you need to be stubborn, you're not, and when you shouldn't be, even a herd of cattle can't pull you back. Are you deliberately trying to get me hated by your dad?"Shu Yi's face almost turned into a bitter gourd.

The little massage girls were all present. If, as Tang Rao said, these little girls were all Lao Yang's people, then sorry, after Lao Yang finished talking with Old Master Shu alone, the first person Lao Yang would look for trouble with would be Shu Yi, wouldn't it?

"My dad? You're my brother, to give me a better future, you suffer a little grievance from my dad, that's helping a brother. Aren't you willing to contribute just a little bit? Even just a little bit?"

"I certainly don't want to suffer grievances. If it were you, would you want to suffer? Besides, it's not like I don't know your dad's temper. Suffering a bit under him, I fear I wouldn't even keep my life."

Shu Yi's reaction was so strong because he understood Lao Yang so well.

"Really no room for compromise at all?"

This was Yang Zhi's last question. Tang Rao and Shu Yi felt a chill in their hearts after seeing the determined look in Yang Zhi's eyes. They had no idea what this guy was plotting.

"Right, no room for compromise at all. I'm telling you now, don't try to play tricks with me, stay at your Yang Family, accept the tasks your dad gives you, be a good person, don't keep thinking about this and that, that's the life you should have."

Shu Yi's last words completely pissed off Yang Zhi. He drove the outsiders out of the room, and the two massage girls reluctantly left, but they had no choice but to obey the Young Master's words.

When there were only three people left in the room, Yang Zhi said decisively, "Tang Rao, from now on I'm following you, I won't say much else. About my dad, I'll persuade him myself. Today, all thanks to Shu Yi, if it weren't for him showing me the way, I might have never figured it out in my life. Tang Rao, if you trust me, let me follow you as your little brother. We'll take on the world together. Those messes in the Yang Family, whoever wants to clean them up can do it. I have no interest in cleaning up those messes."

Yang Zhi's meaning was, after leaving the Yang Family, he didn't want to venture out alone, but instead follow Tang Rao for thrills, as Tang Rao's little brother?

As Tang Rao's little brother?

Leaving a perfectly good Young Master position to become a follower, maybe Tang Rao would agree, but Lao Yang probably wouldn't agree, right?

"If you can persuade your dad, I'll agree. If you can't persuade him, it's best not to even mention it. Yang Zhi, you need to think it over carefully, your decision alone could alter the entire development of the Yang Family."

Tang Rao's words were reasonable. This family with hundreds of people above and below needed a leader. If Yang Zhi, the future leader, suddenly decided he didn't want to be the leader, the whole Yang Family would be left without a head, a situation that Lao Yang didn't wish or want to see.

"So you mean, as long as my dad agrees, you have no objections, correct?"

Yang Zhi's eyes lit up, eager to rush forward and give Tang Rao a hug like a spring breeze in April.

"Yes, probably, perhaps, that's what I meant."

Tang Rao felt awkward, he reckoned Lao Yang, having just one son, wouldn't allow this sole son to stay by Tang Rao as his follower and wouldn't consider the overall situation.

Yang Zhi thought that with such a heavy burden on his shoulders, he should be looking serious, but how come he felt relieved?

"Then there's no problem, rest assured, my dad won't have any objections. Right now he's talking with Old Master Shu, looks like they're almost done, let's go find my dad now, I guarantee he'll agree, and joyfully so. Tang Rao, I'm determined to be your little brother!"

Huh?

What kind of act is this? Tang Rao felt like he couldn't keep up with the plot.

"Coming or not? If you don't, I'll have my dad come find you?"

Yang Zhi gestured emphatically, looking as if victory was within grasp.

"I'll go, I will go, make sure you don't make your dad angry with us. How you persuade him is up to you."

This was Tang Rao's sole request.

The three of them knocked and went inside. Old Master Shu and Lao Yang each had a Space Ring placed in front of them. Judging by the limited space here, many things couldn't be placed out, so they were stored in the Space Rings.

This scene was all too familiar to him. What were they betting on?

"Seems like you all came quite quickly, so, my good son, what's the result?"

Lao Yang chuckled, as soon as he heard the knock on the door, he had already guessed the outcome.

"Dad, are you willing to let me stay with Tang Rao and be his little brother?"

Yang Zhi asked, never considering whether there was an issue with such a question.

"Couldn't you be more subtle? Asking like that, are you trying to get Tang Rao killed?"

Shu Yi wanted to cover Yang Zhi's mouth, but with Tang Rao in between, he hadn't had time to do so before Yang Zhi's words slipped out.

"Subtle for what? My dad isn't the sharpest, if I speak too subtly, he won't understand, it's better straightforward and direct, so he can give me an answer in front of you all sooner."

Even at this moment, Lao Yang showed no sign of anger. Even at this moment, Tang Rao felt a surge in his heart, feeling as if he had walked into a trap set by Lao Yang and Yang Zhi.

"This is a good thing, following Tang Rao is your fortune. I have faith in him, but you're so unruly, will you listen to what people say? Will they agree to take you as a little brother?"

Lao Yang went this far, and Tang Rao still didn't get it?

Wasn't this whole show orchestrated by the father and son from beginning to end?

Lao Yang was too cunning, and so was Yang Zhi. Earlier, they tricked Tang Rao into agreeing to all those words only to have Lao Yang play along now; their father-son act left Tang Rao speechless.

"Good, Yang Zhi, so you and your dad planned this all along?"

Tang Rao was furious.

More furious than Tang Rao was Old Master Shu.

The old man was the most aggrieved, his Space Ring was right in front of him, and watching it about to fly away, his heart couldn't help but ache.

"You crafty old fox. I wondered why you had this idle time, making tea and betting with me, turns out all this was planned by you. This bet doesn't count, give me back my stuff, you shameless geezer, really no shame at all."
