The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 21: I'm Opening It the Wrong Way



"Two to start with! Rewarding myself a bit!" Tang Rao casually tossed two Old Ginseng Pills into his mouth.

After absorbing the spiritual energy, he strutted out of the kitchen, full of zest.

In the living room, Bai Yushu had disappeared, leaving only Lei Li sitting by herself.

"Where's my mom?" Tang Rao asked Lei Li; he still wanted to thank his own mother. What a gem of a mom, no wonder they say there's nothing like a mother's love.

"She's out and busy," Lei Li squeezed out four words from her mouth.

If it wasn't for something important, Lei Li was always so sparing with her words.

As if talking more would cost her money.

"Got it. Anyway, it's Saturday today, no need to go to school. I'll go back to bed," Tang Rao stretched his back; he had to quickly absorb the remaining eight Old Ginseng Pills.

Tang Rao had a habit, which was: never let usable items gather dust in his hands.

Who knows what kind of accidents life might bring? Use what you have before it's too late and you're left with regrets.

Lei Li clenched her teeth; you unambitious bum, using such good weather just to sleep?

You could be practicing martial arts, or teaching me martial arts.

"Buzz..." As Tang Rao was about to return to his room, his phone in his pocket started vibrating.

Seeing the caller ID, Tang Rao rolled his eyes.

"Hello, Jiang Langyue, can you give it a rest? Day after day, can't you let me have some peace? Listen here, don't tell me you can't collect the Old Ginseng. Tomorrow, you must deliver the goods," Tang Rao answered the phone and rambled on immediately.

"Tang Rao, it's me... Lang Huan," Jiang Langhuan's crisp voice came through the phone.

Tang Rao: "..."

"Alright, what is it?" Tang Rao held back for a moment and asked; do all of you Jiang family have it out for me or something?

"It's about last night's matter, my grandfather wants... to see you. Are you available?" Jiang Langhuan said.

"Tang Rao, come over right now! Who do you think you are, to say I bother you every day? Explain yourself!" Jiang Langyue's shouting could be faintly heard through the phone.

...

"Your grandfather is a big shot in Tiandu, right? Too far, I'm not going!" Tang Rao flatly responded.

Damn, do you think I, Tang Lao Ya, am just anyone? Just because you say go, I go? Even though I've lost all my strength now, even though I'm no longer a dominant force now, I still have my pride, alright?

"My grandfather... is in Sui City, could you... perhaps come for a visit?" There was a hint of pleading in Jiang Langhuan's voice.

Tang Rao looked helpless; had it been Jiang Langyue making this phone call, he would have definitely refused.

But the caller was Lang Huan, to be honest, Tang Rao truly felt a bit reluctant to refuse her.

Since his impression of Jiang Langhuan was indeed very positive.

"Fine, you win. I'll be right there," Tang Rao muttered, then promptly hung up the phone.

"Ali, prepare the car, we're going out," Tang Rao shouted at Lei Li.

In the living room, Lei Li didn't move an inch.

"Let's go!" Seeing Lei Li standing motionless like a stick, Tang Rao almost lost his cool.

What's wrong with you Blue Star women, one after another? Are you all just naturally badass, or is it just me, Tang Rao, not handling things the right way?

"Not going!" Lei Li threw out two words.

What a joke, I was sent to be your bodyguard, but you're ten to a hundred times more capable than I am; following you just emphasizes my incompetence.

"You're a bodyguard, you're supposed to ensure my safety!" Tang Rao said, holding back frustration.

"Saturday, day off," Lei Li muttered under her breath.

Tang Rao almost choked to death on Lei Li's words...

"Fine, I was going to teach you a few more moves, but forget it." Tang Rao waved his hand dismissively, thinking that the little girl was just playing at vacation with him, Tang, but he saw she wasn't taking the bait.

As soon as Tang Rao finished speaking, Lei Li stood up and headed towards the garage.

"Hehe..." Tang Rao grinned, thinking that to hit a snake one must strike its vital part, and to catch a person one must grab their weakness. How true that saying is.

Half an hour later, Tang Rao was knocking on Jiang Langhuan's door.

The door was opened by a little old man around sixty years old, about 1.65 meters tall, skinny, with a crew-cut, and sharp eyes.

"You must be Young Master Tang from the Tang Family, right? Please come in," the little old man said to Tang Rao.

"Right, and please, miss bodyguard, wait outside," the little old man mentioned to Lei Li with an indifferent tone.

Lei Li pouted but said nothing; after all, she was a bodyguard, and it was normal for her not to be allowed in.

"What the fuck do you mean by this!" Lei Li was about to turn back to the car when Tang Rao pointed at the little old man and started yelling with wide eyes.

Pang Yuan's eyebrows rose slightly; honestly, ever since he had started serving the old master, almost no one had dared to talk to him like that.

"Young Master Tang, this is by order of our old master. Don't worry, the house is very safe; nothing will happen," Pang Yuan continued.

But for Tang Rao, Pang Yuan had already lost all good impressions, as he started with profanity and lacked any depth.

"I'm here to give Lang Huan face, and you're blocking people from entering. What kind of people are the Jiang Family, anyway? Ali, let's go," Tang Rao turned his head and spoke to Lei Li directly.

Lei Li hadn't expected Tang Rao to react that way. While a bit capricious, she felt an inexplicable touch of emotion in her heart.

"Young Master Tang, acting like this, I'm afraid you'll displease the old master," Pang Yuan's face was already darkening.

This Tang Rao really thinks he's some great figure, not appreciating the face given.

"Nuts to that, his pleasure has nothing to do with me. Stop putting yourself so high and mighty; be careful, or you might fall and die," Tang Rao pointed at Pang Yuan, clearly irritated.

I'm doing you the favor by coming; you don't get to act all superior with me.

In the Nine Realms of the Seventy-two Domains, those who lord over their territories, all of them would have to beg just to see me.

"Young Master Tang, please don't make things difficult for me," Pang Yuan took a step to the side, blocking Tang Rao's path, his eyes flashing a dangerous light.

"Getting too big for your britches now, huh!" Tang Rao was also furious, ready to punch him for thinking he was invincible.

"Grandpa Pang." Just as Tang Rao was about to take action, the mansion door opened again and Jiang Langhuan ran out.

"Tang Rao, you're here? Come in quickly, Miss Lei Li too," Jiang Langhuan immediately said with a smile. If she hadn't come out at that moment, Tang Rao might have started fighting with Pang Yuan.

"Suddenly, I'm not interested anymore," Tang Rao said, gesturing with his hand.

"Tang Rao, come on in," Jiang Langhuan stepped forward, took hold of Tang Rao's arm, with pleading watery eyes.

Even Jiang Langhuan herself was somewhat surprised by her own actions, actually reaching out to grab Tang Rao's arm directly.

Seeing Jiang Langhuan's look, Tang Rao felt a sense of helplessness in his heart.

Do you know what's the one thing men can't withstand in this world?

A woman's coquettishness.

"Fine, I'll do this for our Xiao Huan," Tang Rao pursed his lips and then entered the villa with Lei Li.

The villa wasn't large, and the decoration wasn't luxurious either. Compared to the rest of Ziyuan Villa District, it even seemed a bit shabby.

"Tang Rao!"

As soon as they stepped into the living room, Jiang Langyue stood up from the sofa with a look as if she wanted to kill Tang Rao.
