Hypoxia

Chapter 40
When Tang Wu walked into the banquet hall, she immediately attracted everyone's attention. She was so overpowering that people unconsciously wanted to take a few more glances.

When she raised her head, she saw Tang Weishan and Lin Yalan coming down the stairs. Although they were both middle-aged, they were tall and straight, not old.

Tang Qianqian immediately greeted her like a butterfly: "Dad, Mom!"

Tang Weishan and Lin Yalan pulled their daughter with loving faces, Tang Qianqian said something to them, Tang Weishan and Lin Yalan turned their eyes to Tang Wu.

Tang Wu smiled slightly and toasted far away as a greeting.

Tang Weishan glanced in disgust, then turned to chat with other guests, Lin Yalan followed Tang Qianqian, Qin Yuzhe immediately nodded: "Auntie."

"Yu Zhe has finally arrived. If you don't come, Qianqian will cry." Lin Yalan looked at Tang Qianqian dotingly.

Tang Qianqian blushed, "Mom! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Although he complained, the shyness in his tone was not reduced by half, coaxing Qin Yuzhe to be very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Sorry, I was caught up in the company's affairs and kept Qianqian waiting for a long time."

"All right, all right, she's willing to wait, as long as you know what's in your mind." Lin Yalan looked at her future son-in-law with a smile, her eyes full of satisfaction.

Qin Yuzhe pulled Tang Qianqian towards him calmly, and whispered something in his ear, which made Tang Qianqian's face turn red.

Lin Yalan seemed to see Tang Wu only at this time, she was stunned for a while, and then asked in a daze, "Which family is this daughter?"

"Mom, what a daughter, this is Tang Wu!" Tang Qianqian said immediately.

Although there was no trace of hostility in the words, the tone was full of sarcasm. Tang Wu was never a rich lady. She was just the product of Liu Ruyun's seduction of Tang Weishan, and it was the springboard for Liu Ruyun to marry into the Tang family. Tang Qianqian was the only daughter of the Tang family.

"Tang Wu?" Lin Yalan was shocked, looked at Tang Wu, raised her hand and touched Tang Wu, her voice trembling: "Tang Wu, when did you come back? Why didn't you come home?"

In the eyes of outsiders, Lin Yalan is really sincere and touching. She has always been gentle and virtuous in front of rich wives, and of course she will not lose her composure when facing her stepdaughter.

Tang Wu smiled slightly: "Maybe Aunt Lin forgot that when I was kicked out of the house, you were also there. How come three years have passed, is this amnesia?"

Lin Yalan's face froze, Tang Qianqian stared at Tang Wu: "Tang Wu! Why are you talking to my mother!"

"Just tell the truth, is there any problem?" Tang Wu looked at Tang Qianqian.

"Tang Tang, Auntie is an elder, so be careful." Qin Yuzhe stood up to smooth things over.

"Ah Zhe, ignore her, she has been so ill-bred since she was a child!" Tang Qianqian looked at Tang Wu with disgust.

Tang Wu smiled slightly. Although she was speaking to Tang Qianqian, she was looking at Qin Yuzhe: "Whether I was educated or not when I was young, Yuzhe knows best, doesn't he?"

Qin Yuzhe was stunned for a moment, and his memory was suddenly pulled back to a few years ago, when he and Tang Wu fell in love, the ignorant relationship between the boy and the girl was clean and pure. At that time, Tang Wu was well-behaved, cute, and understanding, always wearing broken flowers She timidly tugged on Qin Yuzhe's skirt, and her little face was always flushed with shame.

But the current Tang Wu, enchanting, charming, and turning all living beings upside down, is even more beautiful than she was back then.

Tang Qianqian saw Qin Yuzhe who was distracted, and glared at Tang Wu angrily: "Fox!"

Tang Wu was taken aback, and smiled: "So Miss Tang's good education is like this."

Tang Qianqian clenched her fist, but Lin Yalan held her back and looked at Tang Wu: "Tang Wu, since you're back, go and see the old man, he misses you very much."

Tang Wu didn't understand, so she glanced at Lin Yalan, how could this woman be so kind?

She walked away suspiciously, Qin Yuzhe turned around and went to the bathroom, Tang Qianqian took Lin Yalan's hand, and asked, "Mom! Why did you still let her see grandpa? What if grandpa wants to take her back to the Tang family again? "

Lin Yalan comforted: "Okay, since she has returned to China, the old man will know sooner or later, instead of letting her sneak up with the old man, it is better for us to send her there."

"I don't care! She can't go back to Tang's house anyway! She must be trying to seduce Ah Zhe! Tang Wu is a vixen now! Look at her vixen!" Tang Qianqian gets angry when she thinks about Tang Wu winking at Qin Yuzhe. .

"Don't worry, the scandal that happened to her back then, plus the good things her mother did, it's not so easy for the old man to let her come back!" Lin Yalan said.

She is the mistress of the Tang family. She has worked so hard to manage the family all these years, and there is nothing wrong with it. As long as she disagrees, Tang Wu will not be able to come back.

Tang Wu wandered among the crowd, and many men approached to strike up a conversation, but Tang Wu declined them all. She might not be able to climb up to Huo Yunshen, but she didn't consider others.

Thinking of Huo Yunshen, Tang Wu became furious. As soon as the man left, there was no movement. The phone in his hand was like a brick, it was useless!

dog man!When she saw her standing with Shen Xuan, she got angry. No woman could bear this kind of bad temper!
Tang Wu stood in the corner with her wine glass in her hand, wondering if she should call Huo Yunshen?After all, she still lives in Hongfengyuan, and it's not considered a breakup with Huo Yunshen, so it's not good to be so stiff all the time.

A servant came over, glanced at Tang Wu, and said, "Miss, the old man invites you to go over."

Tang Wu's hand holding the wine glass paused, she hadn't heard this title for many years, she was no longer Miss Tang family.

Tang Wu followed the servants out of the banquet hall and walked to the single-family villa behind. As soon as she entered the door, the fragrance of tea came to her face, and an old and kind voice sounded: "Xiao Wu, you're back."

The old man sitting on the chair just said these five simple words, but it hit Tang Wu's heart. Her nose was sour and she almost shed tears.

Tang Wu sniffed, exhaled, and nodded: "I'm back."

"Come here." Tang Hanlin waved.

Tang Wu walked over with strides, stood in front of Tang Hanlin, and accepted the old man's scrutiny from top to bottom.

After a long time, Tang Hanlin nodded and said, "You've grown up, you're a big girl now, when did you come back?"

"More than a month ago." Tang Wu replied.

"Sit down, sit down and talk, don't stand up, we are the two of you here." Tang Hanlin pointed to the chair opposite, motioning Tang Wu to sit down.

Tang Wu paused, then shook her head: "Stop sitting, if Chairman Tang is fine, I'll leave first."

When Tang Hanlin heard the words "Chairman Tang", Tang Hanlin's smile froze on his face, he lowered his head, picked up a small teacup, and blew on the boiling hot tea: "Let's go, it's okay .”

Tang Wu took a fixed look at Tang Hanlin. Tang Hanlin sipped tea, as if completely shielding Tang Wu from him. Tang Wu turned and walked out of the living room, but at the moment she stepped out, she heard a heavy voice behind her. sigh.

Tang Wu paused, walked out of the villa, and returned to the banquet hall.

"Old man, don't sigh." The butler, Uncle Li, came out.

Tang Hanlin looked in the direction of the door, and unconsciously sighed again: "This girl, don't forget to hate me!"

"Old man, this is just nonsense. When the eldest lady was in the Tang family, you were the one who loved her the most, and even gave her the shares. How can the eldest miss hate you?" Uncle Li packed the tea set.

"I don't love her. When she was kicked out of the house, I didn't care about her!" Tang Hanlin said.

Uncle Li also sighed softly, cleared the table, and helped Tang Hanlin up: "Master, the birthday banquet is about to begin, let's go."

Tang Hanlin didn't speak any more, and with Uncle Li's support, he walked towards the brightly lit villa in front.

As soon as Tang Hanlin came in, the banquet hall immediately became more noisy, and the voices of birthday celebrations could be heard endlessly.

The Tang family is a well-known family in Jiangcheng, and they do a lot of business. When Tang Hanlin was young, he was also a powerful figure in the business world. Many old friends are here today.

When the time came, the host immediately announced the start of the birthday banquet. The old man stepped onto the stage and said a few words symbolically, thanking the guests for coming, and then the birthday celebration session.

Tang Weishan and Lin Yalan first presented congratulatory gifts, a set of expensive tea sets, exquisite workmanship, worth millions, and the guests kept praising Tang Weishan for his filial piety.

Tang Qianqian also gave her a gift, and what she gave was a handmade Tang suit. Everyone wears suits and leather shoes these days, but Tang Hanlin only loves classical culture, so Tang Qianqian also fell in love with him.

Even Qin Yuzhe prepared a precious jade pendant as a congratulatory gift to Tang Hanlin. The engagement between him and Tang Qianqian is well known in Jiangcheng. Qin Yuzhe is already considered the half-son-in-law of the Tang family. As expected.

After the far and near relatives of the Tang family finished giving gifts, it was Tang Hanlin's three or five old friends, and the rest of the guests gave gifts to the welcoming servants at the door when they entered.

Originally, this session ended here, but Tang Qianqian turned her head to look at Tang Wu, and asked with a hanging voice: "Tang Wu, where is your gift?"

When Tang Qianqian shouted, everyone's eyes turned to Tang Wu.

Tang Wu stood firmly in the crowd, looking at Tang Qianqian's sneering eyes: "Tang Wu, you came back to attend grandpa's birthday banquet, did you not prepare a gift?"

"Yes, Tang Wu, you have come back from abroad, what good things have you prepared for grandpa?" Lin Yalan also looked at Tang Wu expectantly.

Tang Wu snorted coldly in her heart, is she preparing a gift?She is going to fuck!She came back to make trouble, not to give gifts!
Someone asked in a low voice: "Who is this? Why is the surname Tang?"

Immediately, someone explained: "The eldest lady who came back from the illegitimate child of the Tang family has a very messy private life. She messed around with men and was sent abroad by the Tang family. Who knows when she will come back?"

"Huh? Whoops, that's really indecent."

"Yes, yes, the Tang family has a strict family style, and Mrs. Tang is also very strict in educating her daughter. How did such a person come out?"

"Don't you know? Tang Wu was born by a woman outside, so her upbringing is naturally poor."

"Tsk tsk tsk, what kind of daughter is born by such a mother."

"Looking at this coquettish appearance, you know it's not a good guy!"

I don't know who was the first to "kindly" popularize Tang Wu's life experience to the people around her, and the dusty past was mercilessly revealed like this.

Afterwards, these unsightly words were spread among the crowd, and everyone's eyes on Tang Wu changed. They looked at her like they were looking at a disgusting virus.

Many of the female guests covered their mouths and noses vainly, discussing with the people around them: "Just seeing the way she came in, I knew she was not a serious woman."

"Yeah, yeah, I keep giving men winks, I can't wait to put my eyes on others."

"Look at that twisted waist, how can a decent woman walk like this?"

"Is that face straight? I don't think her smile is natural at all."

"It must be neat, how can the Tang family have a high nose bridge like hers!"

"Hey, let me tell you, take a closer look at her two legs, tsk tsk tsk, the gap is too big, right?"

"Oh, don't talk about such disgusting things, I can't even eat tonight's meal."

"That's right, I'm going to throw up all the champagne I drink."

Women are always like this. When they see other women prettier than themselves, they always have to sarcasm, not to mention a woman as shockingly beautiful as Tang Wu?

The envy and jealousy of all the women just now turned into merciless ridicule.

In their eyes, Tang Wu is simply filthy, and all the good things in her are disgusting things. They added countless vicious guesses and humiliations to her, and then talked about and sneered with embellishments, as if only in this way can they Showing that he is a hundred times better than Tang Wu, even if his appearance is not comparable, those so-called family backgrounds are always good.

Tang Qianqian didn't care what the people around her were talking about, looked at Tang Wu innocently, and said, "Did you forget to bring a gift?"

"Qianqian! Stop talking." Qin Yuzhe deliberately stopped Tang Qianqian, wanting to end the farce.

When Tang Wu had a relationship with other men, Qin Yuzhe felt disgusted, but now, after three years, seeing Tang Wu again, for some reason, she felt a little distressed, this girl is like a lost kitten , standing still and being pointed at by others.

It's good that Qin Yuzhe didn't speak, but when he helped Tang Wu speak, Tang Qianqian became even more angry, she looked at Tang Wu with a smile on her face, and asked, "I heard that you have made a very good boss now, he should give you Are you ready for a gift?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the discussion among the crowd became more lively. They subconsciously understood Tang Qianqian's boss as an old man in his 60s and [-]s. It must be a deal for such a man to be with Tang Wu , To put it bluntly, Tang Wu is no different from the one who came out to sell.

Tang Qianqian looked at the guests around and pointed at Tang Wu, and looked at Tang Wu proudly. She wanted to destroy her. She could destroy her three years ago, and she could do the same three years later!
She hated Tang Wu for occupying the position of the eldest lady of the Tang family. She hated that this woman would always pretend to be a harmless human being to take away her grandfather's love. She was even more angry that such a humble woman like Tang Wu was favored by Qin Yuzhe.

So she just wanted to ruin Tang Wu, snatch her boyfriend away, and kick her out of the Tang family!

What bad things did Tang Wu do?In fact, there is nothing. She was born with the surname Tang and lived in the Tang family, which was the biggest mistake!

"Okay, Qianqian, since Tang Wu didn't bring a gift, don't mention it." Lin Yalan was very gentle and considerate.

Tang Weishan gave Tang Wu a disgusted look, and snorted coldly. He disliked Tang Wu because she did such a shameless thing and discredited the Tang family. Otherwise, he would not have driven her away at all.

Tang Hanlin also gave Uncle Li a wink, and Uncle Li stood up immediately: "Let's stop here for the presents, and the dinner is about the same..."

"Tang Wu! Where's your boss? Didn't you come today? Why don't you speak?" Tang Qianqian asked loudly.

Yes, from the beginning to the end, Tang Wu didn't say a word, she was like watching a joke, watching Tang Qianqian directing and acting in this play, watching Qin Yuzhe and Lin Yalan pretending to smooth things over, watching Tang Hanlin want to maintain However, because of the face of the Tang family and the thoughts of her son and daughter-in-law, she could only order Uncle Li to come forward.

This Tang family has always been like this. Everyone wears their own masks and has their own little calculations. It's a pity that Tang Wu was ignorant and didn't see this clearly, ruining her innocence in vain.

But at this time, except for the guests talking here, no one paid attention to the corner, and there were three people sitting there.

Su Jing crossed Erlang's legs and leaned on the sofa, smacking his lips and looking at the crowd: "What is the Tang family messing with? What about the eldest lady and the second lady? Is this birthday banquet still going to be held?"

Holding the wine glass, Lu Shili smiled slightly: "There is always something tricky among the rich and powerful, so let's treat it as a theater."

And the man sitting in the middle, with delicate facial features like a sculpture, looked at the crowd with obsidian eyes, and couldn't tell who he was looking at, he just stared at him motionlessly, the cigarette in his right hand had accumulated a lot of soot, With a slight movement of his hand, the ash fell on the small table and scattered into powder.

"Brother Shen, what are you looking at?" Su Jing leaned over and followed Huo Yunshen's gaze: "Where is that Miss Tang family? It seems to be Tang Qianqian, right? But I heard that she is already engaged, so don't think about it." .”

"Heh," Huo Yunshen sneered, "Vulgar fans."

Lu Shili shook the red wine in his hand, and said jokingly: "Su Jing, when did Ah Shen care about women, and I don't know what women are in his eyes."

Su Jing scratched his head, then followed Huo Yunshen's gaze: "Then what are you looking at?"

"Watching a play." Huo Yunshen stared at the red in the crowd, this woman was calm, she was bullied like this, and she could still hold her own.

"Ah!" Su Jing's eyes widened: "Brother Shen, are you looking at Qin Yuzhe? Damn! You don't have a woman, is it because of your orientation?"

Su Jing's mouth widened in surprise, his fist was almost stuffed into his mouth, Lu Shili couldn't hold back all of a sudden, he lost his composure, and almost choked to death with a sip of wine.

Huo Yunshen finally withdrew his gaze, and squinted at Su Jing: "Is it itchy?"

"No...no..." Su Jing went back obediently.

In the end, she sat up again before nestling for 2 minutes, and asked gossipingly, "Is what they said about Tang Wu true? She looks pretty, but is she really so indiscreet?"

"I don't know, I haven't paid attention to it." Lu Shili shook his head.

"Brother Shen, do you know?" Su Jing poked Huo Yunshen.

Huo Yunshen curled his lips: "Do you think she is beautiful?"

Su Jing turned his head and took another look at Tang Wu, and nodded solemnly: "It's not just beautiful, this face, this figure, this waist, these legs are the best in the world!"

Huo Yunshen's face turned cold inch by inch, and he just asked casually, did he let Su Jing look at him so carefully?Who doesn't know that Su Jing's vicious eyes can measure his height and weight with just a glance.

Su Jing felt that the aura around Huo Yunshen was getting colder and colder, and shrank his neck: "I...was wrong? You also think it's ugly like this?"

Hearing the word "ugly", Huo Yunshen's face became even colder. How could the woman he fell in love with be ugly?Obviously, the long legs and thin waist are very attractive.

Speaking of seductive, this woman is even more attractive when she is barefooted on the sofa, the afternoon sun shines on her, she stretches like a lazy cat, and hums tenderly: "Yun Shen, today eat fish."

Huo Yunshen didn't care about eating fish or chicken or duck at all, he just wanted to eat this woman clean.

Thinking up to this point, I inexplicably thought of Tang Wu's gentle smile towards Shen Xuan. He spoiled her so much that he made her more courageous and even dared to talk back to him.

He wanted to let her hang out, but he didn't expect to see her at the banquet today. Seeing this woman changing glasses and walking through the crowd with ease, he was very angry.

Among the crowd, Tang Hanlin saw that the farce was getting bigger and bigger, so he could only yell: "Okay! Don't talk about it, the dinner party is about to start!"

"Grandpa!" Tang Qianqian coquettishly said, "Since Tang Wu has a boyfriend, why don't you bring it out for us to have a look! My family will check it out for her!"

The people around talked a lot: "What's so interesting, I don't know where the benefactor is!"

"This kind of woman can only rely on her face, right? Besides this, what else can she use to keep a man?"

"I don't know which man is so hungry and wants to mix with her."

"Is that Mr. Wang? I heard that Mr. Wang has a lover outside!"

"Ah? I heard that Mr. Wang has that kind of habit!"

"If you want this kind of thing, she must be willing to join in!"

"That's too disgusting, I can't stand it!"

Huo Yun took a deep drag on his cigarette, put the butt out in the ashtray, stood up and shook his suit.

"Brother Shen, why are you going?" Su Jing asked.

"Save the cat." Huo Yunshen uttered two words and walked towards the crowd.

"Cat? How can there be a cat?" Su Jing looked at Lu Shili.

Lu Shili also shook his head blankly, how could there be a cat on such an important occasion?
Tang Wu looked up at Tang Qianqian: "Are you too gossip?"

Given her great ability, she can't invite Huo Yunshen over now, so she can only go back.

"Aren't I concerned about you? Tang Wu, where's your boss?" Tang Qianqian looked at her with her arms folded.

Before Tang Wu could speak, a familiar arm was placed around her waist. Tang Wu's body froze, and the clear breath enveloped her in an instant. A magnetic voice sounded above her head, with an incomparable strength and overwhelming power. Domineering: "What do you want me to do?"
