Girl, I'll Teach You Cultivation

In fact, this Tang family was completely different from the Wang family. Although they were both one of the four prominent families of Jiangnan province, Wang family didn\'t mix either in the military or the officialdom and was an authentic martial arts lineage. Taking a look from another perspective, though they were part of the four prominent families on the surface, the reason was their 200-year long heritage as well as the connections they had made. As for the Tang family, although this family rose up after the nation\'s founding, they possessed enough power in officialdom.

Jiang Xiu asked him, "How did my father fall into Tang Zhengping\'s hands back then?"

"That\'s…" Wu Jun\'s expression changed, yet he quickly shook his head, "I too don\'t know. I was just an unremarkable nobody back then, so I didn\'t know much of the details. If you want to know, why don\'t you ask your father?"

"Uncle Wu is unwilling to say it?"

"I really don\'t know."

Jiang Xiu felt that this matter wasn\'t so simple. If his father had voluntarily chosen to take responsibility for it, it didn\'t make sense that he detested the Cheng family so much as both the families were helpless back then, so the Cheng family shouldn\'t have been the target of blame.

Jiang Xiu knew that Wu Jun definitely knew about the inside story but wasn\'t willing to say it because it was too troublesome.

Jiang Xiu had already made preparations to deal with this.

"Uncle Wu, I\'ve heard about something recently. It seems like there\'s a serious problem with the quality of the materials used by the Elite Construction Company for their new art park project."

Wu Jun\'s face went pale, "D-Don\'t say rubbish." This matter was a secret, and only he and a few people within the company knew about this, so he was startled that Jiang Xiu knew about it.

He felt a chill in his heart!

Jiang Xiu continued, "Uncle Wu knows pretty well whether it\'s true. We are old friends, so I naturally won\'t spread this matter out, but I want to know how my father fell into Tang Zhenping\'s hands back then."

"Alright. Since you want to know so badly, I\'ll tell you."

"Don\'t regret it later…"

Jiang Xiu smiled lightly.

Wu Jun lowered his voice, "The person who handed over the evidence of your father\'s crime was none other than your father-in-law, Cheng Hanlin."

Jiang Xiu nodded then stood up, "Pardon the disturbance."

He had already guessed it was so before confirming it. Tang family possessed a significant influence in Jiangnan, and if Cheng Hanlin hadn\'t defected to Tang Zhengping back then, he wouldn\'t have let the Cheng family off, and their business wouldn\'t have developed.

Wu Jun waited for Jiang Xiu to leave then sighed, "There\'s no need to drown in pain, it\'ll only hurt you. You can only see the path ahead if you lay down the grudge."

After saying these words, he was stunned that he said such profound words and felt it would look good if he hung a calligraphy piece in his office consisting of these words.

When Jiang Xiu returned to his room, Cheng Lingsu came out of her room and asked him, "I knocked on your door just now and saw that you weren\'t there. Where did you go?"

"I took a walk. Do you need me for anything?"

"My parents said that there\'s going to be a party soon so we should make some plans for ourselves. Brother Xiaojun said that there\'s a party over at his friend\'s place today and invited us over there today. I wanted to ask your opinion. If you want to go, we\'ll go together, or else, I too won\'t go."

"Oh?"

Jiang Xiu wasn\'t interested towards parties like these, but since he was the guest over here, he couldn\'t just stay in the room and cultivate, so decided to follow their plans.

"We have to eat dinner anyway, so there\'s no harm in going over. We\'ll come back if it doesn\'t seem fun."

Cheng Lingsu nodded, "I\'ll tell Brother Xiaojun then."

On the way to the party, Wu Xiaojun gave an introduction to them, "There are many prominent families in Ninghai City. The Song family, Ren family, Qian family, Sun family, Tang family and some others. Out of all these, only the Tang family and Lin family were the most powerful. Old Man Tang has controlled Ninghai City for many years, and Tang Mingzhi is the No. 1 Young Master here."

Wu Xiaojun glanced towards the pretty Cheng Lingsu, "Susu could have associated with them on equal standing before but now… only I can. I finally entered into their circle, so they call me to such parties whenever they were hosted."

Adults wished to enter the elite circles, and so did the younger generation. Wu Xiaojun\'s background was pretty standard, so he was barely qualified to enter into this circle but was also some of the middle ranks in this circle. His father had also used his hard-earned savings to buy him a Porsche.

Cheng Lingsu felt somewhat frightened after hearing this, "Won\'t it be bad if you take us along to such a high-class party?"

"It\'s fine. I also have some hold, so it won\'t matter if I bring a friend or two along."

Cheng Lingsu felt that this situation wasn\'t that good.

She had once been a part of this elite circle and clearly knew about the inside rules. Those wealthy young masters were all realistic and only associated with people based on their background, forming alliances. If a person who brings them no profit enters their circle, they would undoubtedly reject that person and kick them out. She was a live example of this. Her best friends, Ouyang Qian and Li Dan, had broken relations with her.

"Otherwise, let\'s not go then. We can go somewhere else."

Wu Xiaojun got anxious, "We can\'t do that."

"I already promised my father."

Cheng Lingsu looked at Jiang Xiu, intending to know his opinion, but laughed to herself when she looked at him. There was no place in Jiangnan where Mr. Jiang couldn\'t set foot on.

"Alright then."

The car stopped in front of a villa where a lot of expensive cars were parked. A Ferrari, a Bentley, a Lamborghini, a Maserati, and others. Wu Xiaojun\'s Porsche barely made it in when compared to these cars.

"We\'re here."

The party venue was a private villa. People had learned to enjoy themselves in the recent years. The villa was even fancier than a five-star hotel. It also had a swimming pool inside. There was a group of girls wearing bikinis running inside the pool as well.

Those young masters were also wearing swimsuits. The sun was just about to set right now, and it was the perfect time to have fun. They held different kinds of cocktails or wine, discussing things with each other. It was quite the scene to behold.

One of the youths among them who had oiled hair asked, "Did your family see Mr. Jiang when they went to Jiang City?"

Another youth who had his feet inside the pool replied, "It isn\'t that easy to meet Mr. Jiang. All those who went to Jiang City to see Mr. Jiang came back empty handed. My family\'s circumstances were better. Wang Xiaotong met my father and chatted with him for half-an-hour."

"That Wang family\'s princess?" Another person asked.

The youth nodded, "Right, her."

A bikini girl came out from under the water, "I heard she\'s quite pretty. I wonder how pretty she is that she was able to move Mr. Jiang\'s heart."

"Wang Xiaotong\'s beauty is really indeed otherworldly, but the reason Mr. Jiang looks upon her isn\'t due to her charm but rather due to the 200-year old heritage of the Wang family behind her and her IQ which allowed her to hold a Ph.D. at the age of 20. This woman will play a big role in Jiangnan\'s future."

The oily haired youth also commented, "As long as the Wang family and Mr. Jiang stay strong, Wang Xintong will be the same. She had double insurance. Really scary."

The youth drank the cocktail in his hand, "Since Mr. Jiang has suppressed the Wang family, there\'s no doubt that the powers of other regions in Jiangnan will also suffer attacks. The power will shift in many places."

As they were discussing this, Wu Xiaojun came in along with Jiang Xiu and Cheng Lingsu, feeling very thrilled. He hadn\'t got the opportunity to take part in such activities much, so it felt new and exciting to him.

"Young Master Song!"

Wu Xiaojun saw the youth holding the cocktail and called out excitedly. The youth raised his chin as a response and complained, "Why are you so late?"

Wu Xiaojun got excited due to Young Master Song\'s intimacy, "I got late as I was waiting for two friends…"

Young Master Song\'s gaze fell on Jiang Xiu and Cheng Lingsu. When he saw Cheng Lingsu, he was left dazed by her shocking beauty.

"Who is she?"

Wu Xiaojun felt embarrassed, "A relative. Her family\'s condition was good before, but they\'ve run into trouble recently. She\'s the 2nd Young Lady of the Cheng family."

Cheng family wasn\'t just famous in Jiang City but also all over Jiangnan province. They also heard about the matter of such a group going bankrupt.

Young Master Song revealed a look of understanding then said, "Can\'t you see everyone\'s wearing swimsuits here? Go change into a bikini and come back."
