Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 91

Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Romeo and Juliet

"It’s simple," Ren Zhong said with a smile. "If he can’t beat my son, you’ll have dinner with him."

After all that talk, Ren Zhong’s goal was still the same.

Qin Yuhan bit her lip, hesitating. Just how good are Wu Tian’s business skills?

But she’d already spoken. How could she back down now? Remembering the confidence Wu Tian exuded when he claimed to be the best in Dragon Country, she felt a thrill and slapped the table. "Fine! I’ll take that bet."

"A deal is a deal," Ren Zhong said, beaming. He was absolutely confident he would win this wager.

How could a child from a poor family possibly compare to one from a wealthy one? His son, Ren Hou, was not some typical, inept rich heir. On the contrary, Ren Zhong had carefully cultivated him. Ren Hou possessed genuine talent and had even been accepted into Cambridge University in Arthur Country. So what was Wu Tian in comparison?

At that moment, Wu Tian was unaware that Qin Yuhan was arguing and placing bets on his behalf. He was completely engrossed in his duties, managing the logistics department in a neat and orderly fashion.

Meanwhile, because the thugs from the Underworld had called Wu Tian "Boss" in front of the Qin Corporation building, his name had once again spread like wildfire throughout the company. The stories grew more and more legendary, with many whispering that Wu Tian was a genuine mob boss.

Many female employees were also discussing him, though with a hint of regret. He was good-looking, but he seemed to have no money. If only he were wealthy and knew how to dress, he would be perfect.

Wu Tian couldn’t have cared less. In his eyes, attracting too much attention wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

What mattered to him now was whether Xiao Liang and Xia Qian could get him the medicinal ingredients he needed.

Xiao Liang hadn’t contacted him in the past few days. Wu Tian did a quick mental calculation and figured that Xiao Liang must be having a bout of romantic luck.

If Xiao Liang knew what Wu Tian had deduced, he would have been apoplectic.

Lucky in love? Not at all. Xiao Liang had simply run into an old flame.

In Xiao Liang’s life, there had been two women. The first was his deceased wife, and the second was his first love. And now, this first love, Tellam Kuangte, had come to Yang City and sought him out.

"I really didn’t expect you to come to see me," Xiao Liang said, genuinely surprised. "I especially didn’t expect you to come all the way to Dragon Country."

"For my illness, I had no choice," Tellam Kuangte said. In front of Xiao Liang, her face was pale and weak, completely lacking the tough facade she presented to others.

"Your illness? What’s going on?" Hearing her words, Xiao Liang grew worried. His marriage had been a union of interests between the Lanling Xiao Family and another great clan. His true love had always been Tellam Kuangte.

Now that he was old, this love wasn’t expressed with the same passion as in his youth, but it was no less profound.

"For years, I’ve been consumed by the family business, sleeping only three hours a night," Tellam Kuangte said calmly. "It’s caused my body’s functions to deteriorate, especially my heart. It’s about to give out. I came to Dragon Country to find a truly skilled practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine... and to see you one last time."

"You..." Xiao Liang choked, unsure of what to say. He still remembered when he first met her. She was only eighteen and had told him she’d run away from her family because she loved to have fun and eat. She hated working, especially the family business.

And now? She was constantly busy with work. Why? It was because only by throwing herself into her work could she forget the sorrow of the past.

The Five Surnames and Seven Families of Dragon Country looked down on the great families of Europe, and the sentiment was mutual. Xiao Liang and Tellam Kuangte were like Romeo and Juliet, unable to defy their families.

After they stared at each other for a long time, Tellam Kuangte finally said, "I came here to see you one last time."

Xiao Liang knew she had come to Dragon Country under the pretext of establishing a foothold for the Kuangte Family, but her real purpose was to see him one last time.

"Really?" Tellam Kuangte trusted Xiao Liang’s judgment. If she could live, who would choose to die? "Do you really know someone like that?" she asked.

Tellam Kuangte, meanwhile, was intrigued. What kind of young man could possibly earn such high praise from the man she loved?

Li Muge couldn’t focus on her work. What was Wu Tian’s relationship with the Underworld?

Whatever comes, I’ll face it.
