The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1716 - 1715: Old Man Yang

"How is my family as bad as you say?"Yang Zhi admitted that the composition, relationships, and personalities of their family members were indeed complex, so inviting Tang Rao under such circumstances would probably make Tang Rao feel aggrieved.

But if they didn't invite Tang Rao now, the time for opening shipments would pass. He heard that the Yan Family's new and old grudges had already come to an end, and Tang Rao could leave East Island for North Island at any time. If Tang Rao left, inviting him to East Island next time and to his home would be much more difficult.

"What do you know? Go away. No matter how chaotic or intense my family situation is behind closed doors, when we have guests, our family is harmonious. Besides, I just want to invite Tang Rao to my house to relax. Does your family have that kind of condition? I bet not."

Yang Zhi gave Shu Yi an ambiguous glance, filled with provocation.

"Alright, both of you stop quarreling. I'll decide this matter as the person involved. From today on, I'm going to Yang Zhi's house as a guest. Since I've been invited, not going would be disrespectful. My parents taught me to respect elders since I was little, so I'm going with a mission."

Tang Rao would never admit he agreed to go only because Yang Zhi mentioned being received by beauties. If Shu Yi found out, he could only say Tang Rao was being sleazy.

"I've always said I understand Tang Rao, he's the type who knows how to take care of the bigger picture. It's only because you don't understand Tang Rao that you keep trying to retain him."

Is Yang Zhi getting addicted to talking?

Shu Yi really wanted to slap Yang Zhi's face to make him stop being smug.

That day, Tang Rao went to the Yang Family with Yang Zhi, and a little incident happened on the way there.

When Tang Rao bade farewell to Old Man Shu at the Shu Family's door, preparing to go to the Yang Family, Shu Yi and Old Man Shu coincidentally came out.

"What a coincidence, you're heading out today too? Are you going on a trip?"

Tang Rao could guess what was going on but kept silent, while Yang Zhi, full of triumph, couldn't stop being talkative and expressive.

"Yes, after discussing with my dad, you see our families have had grudges for generations, it's been too long, it's time to let bygones be bygones. Don't you agree? And since we're letting go of the past, shouldn't I visit your house and shake hands with your dad for reconciliation?"

That's right, it seems reasonable.

Oh no, do these two mean they're not planning a trip but to accompany Yang Zhi to their home?

This is too scary.

In his heart, Yang Zhi cursed the Shu father and son repeatedly, never expecting them to be like this. He should have invited Tang Rao quietly. Plus, he shouldn't have been so smug earlier, it feels like shooting himself in the foot.

At this moment, Yang Zhi was filled with regret.

Among the four of them, each had a different mood: the Shu father and son sang joyfully, while Yang Zhi, like a defeated rooster, couldn't recover for a long time.

The Yang Family was built by the mountains, surrounded by mist, like a fairyland. Standing at the Yang Family's doorstep, Tang Rao felt a bit unreal.

"I've noticed that people here love to nestle their homes in the mountains, is this a tradition or something else?"

The Yan Family was like that, and so was the Yang Family.

Generally, rich and powerful families are on the mountains, which is a bit interesting.

"I have no idea, but many years before I was born, my family settled here."

Yang Zhi was curious too, and realized that people from East Island had a deep passion for mountains.

"What do youngsters like you know? That's a secret from the older generation. Even if I told you now, you wouldn't understand."

Old Man Yang seemed to have some research and understanding of houses placed on the mountains.

"Back in the day, the climate was like North Island's, similar environment, distinct seasons. Then suddenly, one day, the temperature rose uncontrollably, and many on East Island died from the heat. Some prominent families who originally lived on the plains couldn't stand the hot weather and moved their whole households by the mountains. Gradually, the established families began rooting there, and for unknown reasons, East Island no longer had winters, enjoying spring-like climates all year round."

There's such a story?

Tang Rao listened to Old Man Shu like he was hearing a tale, and gradually got absorbed into the story.

"No wonder when I arrived at East Island, I noticed the unusual climate. I was puzzled when Bei Lin asked me, now I understand."

Tang Rao mused aloud.

If Bei Lin hadn't been urgently called back to North Island by Beiyuan, Tang Rao would have wanted her to hear it too, as a bit of education.

Speaking of which, what were all his precious ones doing back home? He hadn't seen them for a while, and it seemed he missed each a little.

"Dad, this is Tang Rao, the friend I told you I recently made!"

Tang Rao hadn't finished enjoying the story when they arrived at the Yang Family.

The Family Head, Yang Wei, greeted them at the entrance personally.

"You must be young friend Tang Rao? Even more sharp and capable than I imagined."

Yang Wei simply took one look and seemed to see through Tang Rao entirely.

"Dad, he's my friend and your junior; calling him 'young friend' messes the generational order, isn't that inappropriate?"

Yang Zhi was the first to oppose his father's way of addressing Tang Rao.

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. You call him your way, I'll call him mine, we won't interfere with each other. It'll be fine, generational order won't be disrupted."

Yang Wei wasn't just seeking to bond with Tang Rao simply because of friendship. Ever since Yang Zhi mentioned they became good friends, he started investigating Tang Rao thoroughly, including topics about Tang Rao on Illusion City.

The evaluations were incredibly high; the posts in Illusion City described Tang Rao almost like a legend.

Only Tang Rao and Yan Wei knew that these evaluations in Illusion City were meticulously crafted by them. It was obvious that Tang Rao owned Illusion City, making himself seem like the Flower Fairy was easy, let alone packaging himself as simply a good person.

Yang Wei had been deceived by Illusion City.

His enthusiasm for Tang Rao was too great that he didn't recognize longtime adversaries. Old Man Shu tried multiple times to find his presence, but each time Yang Wei ignored him.

After all, they harbored grudges, how could his attitude towards enemies be like this?

It's simply unbearable.

"Old Man Yang, you're investing your energy into a little kid, aren't you ashamed?"

I'm still your adversary, at least give me some attention, right?
