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.
“The property all belong to my mother, to Anselm Family!” Brown says fiercely, “There is something wrong with the family business now. Since he has got so many things from Anselm Family, he can’t stay out of it.”
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 retaliated…
“Otherwise you’d 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.”
Brown hesitates. He doesn’t want to make the call. He just wants to sell the unrelated industries to subsidize the family’s business. But if he makes the call, it will mean that he admits him to be incapable and can’t 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.
“Sorry! The number you dialed is out of service.”
Brown holds the phone and is stunned. His face twists after a few seconds, and he throws the phone severely, “F**k!”
A week later, he appears at Yanjing’s 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 can’t 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.
“Still unable to get in touch with my father?” Brown asks, “What about K? Can’t find him?”
“I found him…” His underling makes an ambiguous statement, “But K said that he was on vacation, and Master wouldn’t let him come back but let him have fun.”
Brown’s eyes darken, “Didn’t you say that I need him for help?”
“I said.” His underling quickly says, “He said that he could not disobey Master Lang Qi’s order.”
“Oh…” 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 father’s dog, “Have you found my father’s address?”
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.
“Shall we go back to the hotel first or…?”
Brown says, “No, go straight to where he lives.”
Lang Qi rejects Tang Yao’s 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 Qi’s name, and then turns around and runs back.
“Lang Qi! Lang Qi!” Tang Yao runs back to Lang Qi’s house. Tang Duo is about to take the twins to the house of Tang Family. She is shocked to see his face of panic.
“What happened, Dad?”
Tang Yao gasps, “A few foreigners are looking for Brother Qi!”
“Dad?” Tang Duo turns to look at Lang Qi.
Lang Qi waves his hand, “It’s all right. It should be my adopted son coming.”
“Brown?” Tang Duo’s face changes color as soon as she hears it.
Tang Yao doesn’t know that Brown kidnapped Tang Duo before. He breathes a sigh of relief and says, “Oh, I thought that they would trouble you, or I would bring them in.”
“Dad, you can’t catch up with the horse racing today if you don’t leave now.” Tang Duo shows him the watch.
Tang Yao lets out a cry, “I have to go now! Brother Qi, take your adopted son over to have dinner later!”
He quickly runs away again. Tang Duo puts the twins in the carts, “Dad, I shall go over there. It’s your own business. Don’t worry about us.”
“Silly girl!” Lang Qi smiles, “I won’t let you get wronged. Just go!”
Tang Duo hurriedly returns to the house of Tang Family. She glances around for a while before entering, “Mom, is my grandma here?”
“She went to the activity room. Is there something wrong?” 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, “Mom, Brown has come.”
“Where?” Bai Susu clenches her hands and Lulu purrs.
“It’s estimated that he has arrived in our house.” Tang Duo smooths Lulu’s hair, “My dad saw it, and he met them at the gate.”
Bai Susu wipes her hands, “Does Ruoxian know it?”
“He should know it.” 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 hasn’t woken up yet, and rushes at her arms to continue to sleep. An’an 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.
“Then we can’t involve. Wait and see what your father-in-law will do.” Bai Susu walks to the sofa and sits down, “This matter should be left to Lang Ruoxian to take care of, and we won’t intervene.”
Tang Duo nods, “If 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?”
“Why does he suddenly come to Hua Country?” Bai Susu wonders, “It is said that he took over the family business and kicked Lang Qi off. But now he visits…”
“Maybe he can’t deal with it.” Tang Duo thinks of Lang Ruoxian’s words, which means that Brown is not capable.
It is unknown when Tang Cao stands at the entrance of the stairs. He curses, “Why does the bastard dare to come?”
“He didn’t think that we had knew it.” Tang Duo smiles a little coldly, “He regards others as fools. How can such a person manage a large family well?”
Tang Cao’s hair is still messy, and he hurriedly wants to go out, “Is he at Uncle Lang Qi’s house? I’ll go and see!”
“You come back!” Bai Susu stops him, “What are you going to do?”
“I’ll hit him!” Tang Cao grabs his hair, “He has come to the door. What are you waiting for?”
Tang Duo smacks her lips, “I guess that you really can’t beat him. I remember Ruoxian said that Brown was good at Sanda and even won some prizes.
“Well… I just remember that I hasn’t had breakfast.” Tang Cao sneaks back and runs to the kitchen.
Bai Susu glares at him angrily, “Not promising!”
Brown stands in front of Lang Qi’s villa but doesn’t 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.
It’s a pity… She has already been Lang Ruoxian’s wife.
“Young Master?”
Brown raises his hand, “You wait for me at the door.”
He is about to ring the doorbell, and the door suddenly opens. Lang Qi stands inside and looks at him.
“Father.” Brown calls.
“Come in.” 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, “It seems that Father still likes things of Hua Country.”
“Fallen leaves return to their roots is the wish of everyone in Hua Country.” Lang Qi sits down and lifts his chin, “The 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.”
Lang Qi smiles, “I like the decoration very much.”
“It seems that Father is in a good mood for returning to your own country. You laughs more than ever before.” Brown’s tone is vague, “Why didn’t you come back earlier? Is the property of Anselm Family so attractive?”
Lang Qi glances at him, “You come all the way to tell me this?”
“…I’m here to see how you have been. Being a son, this is normal!” Brown pauses, “I am thinking if you’re not used to it, I’ll take you back.”
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.
“A family reunion…” Brown’s eyes darken, “I haven’t congratulated your reunion with your biological son. It seems that you will definitely stay here and won’t go back.”
Lang Qi seems not to understand what he said and makes himself a cup of tea, “You should say return, this is my home. Don’t you drink tea? There is cola in the kitchen refrigerator.”
“Father, I’m not here for tea or cola!” Brown pulls a long face, “Don’t you really know what happened to the family?”
“Oh? What happened?” Lang Qi sips the tea, “I have handed over you the family. You are the new patriarch. How can I know what happened when I am thousands of miles away?”
Brown is anxious, but he holds back the anxiety and says, “After 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!”
“Why did they suddenly steal away the business of Anselm Family?” Lang Qi raises his eyebrows.
Brown’s eyes flash, “How can I know? Father, didn’t you incite them to do so? You don’t 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.”
“Do you really think so?” 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 didn’t dare to speak when he saw Lang Qi. He knew that his adoptive father didn’t like him.
Mother chose him as the heir, and his adoptive father was unhappy.
“You are now reunited with your biological son. Do you still want to hand over Anselm Family to an outsider?” Despite the fear, the thirst for the huge property makes Brown continue to say, “The people in the family will not agree, and my mother is watching you in the heaven!”
The space seems suddenly to be quiet. Brown meets Lang Qi’s eyes and lowers his head after a few seconds.
Lang Qi rubs the edge of the tea cup and sighs, “What the hell keeps you thinking that I don’t want to hand over Anselm Family to you? What did your mother say when she died, you remember?”
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.
“But… But I think I can take it over.” Brown thinks of what his mother had said before she died. Certainly he remembers it.
“You don’t believe me.” Lang Qi smiles, “To be honest, Anselm Family is nothing in my eyes. I stayed there to repay Laura’s life-saving grace. That family means wealth to you, but it means a prison to me.”
