Pretending To Be A Boss

Chapter 92: Tang and Song



The people in the Li family's group, aside from Li Zheng, were all strangers to Tang Xian.

In the Song Family's group, however, Tang Xian did spot a familiar face.

He couldn't help but laugh silently. He hadn't expected to see that rascal teacher Lin Jue after so many years. He had heard years ago that Lin had become a hunter, the kind who did the dirty work off the record, very powerful.

Looking at him now, it seemed the rumors were true. Being employed by the Song Family meant Lin Jue must have had something exceptional about him. Tang just didn't know whether the Song Family's subordinates kept a tight leash on their wives.

As Li Zheng was debating whether or not to greet them, Tang Xian walked over, with Li Xiaoyu closely following behind.

There was no avoiding it now. Li Zheng, looking at Song Que, who was surveying Lincoln Fortress, said:

"Song Que, stop gawking."

Song Que turned around and said with a simple smile,

"Zheng, maybe you won't be my toughest opponent. Look at Lincoln Fortress's momentum."

Li Zheng replied, "Alright, alright, this isn't the time for scouting, and that's not your job."

Tang Xian had already approached Li Zheng.

Song Que noticed Li Zheng's attention on the man and woman before him surpassed that of the other hunters and couldn't help asking:

"Who are these two?"

Li Zheng felt a bit of a headache coming on. His sister and Tang were together—if they appeared too close for comfort, wouldn't it be like wearing cuckold's horns in public?

"Let me introduce them. This guy is the Li family's new technical consultant, Tang Xian."

Song Que sized up Tang Xian, figuring that since he was a technical consultant, he must be outstanding in some respects.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Song Que, 'Song' from 'Tang and Song,' 'Que' for 'defect.'"

"Nice to meet you, I'm Tang Xian, 'Tang' from 'Tang and Song,' 'Xian' for 'leisure.'" Tang Xian politely responded.

"Tsk, your names really pair well together, hahaha..." Li Zheng joked.

Tang's first impression of Song Que was quite favorable; this man had an exceptionally high good-evil value.

Li Zheng and Qi Xun could be said to be the former, sometimes a good person who does bad things, and the latter, a bad person who occasionally does good things.

Rich young masters naturally have their wicked interests, but not Song Que.

His good-evil value was nearly the same as Jiang Ming's.

As for charm, he was the highest Tang Xian had seen among men—a score of eighty, with only two words for description: "Like a dragon." Stay connected via empire

Tang felt his smile was too simple—if not so, maybe Song Que's charm value would be even higher.

He glanced at Song Que once more, then at Li Xiaoyu.

Song Que was indeed impeccable, and Tang even thought this man could be described as Huaxia's future.

It was just the idea of him and Li Xiaoyu together that was hard to imagine.

"Is this beautiful lady your sister, Brother Tang?"

"No, she's his sister." Tang pointed at Li Zheng.

Li Zheng's face remained expressionless, mainly because he didn't know what kind of expression to make.

Song Que nodded, seeing nothing amiss, but after a second or two, he suddenly frowned.

"Wait a minute, Zheng, how many sisters do you have?"

"I have only one sister. It's her, Li Xiaoyu," Li Zheng coughed.

"Ah!"

Song Que gasped, startlingly leaning back with his face flushing red up to his neck.

Li Xiaoyu exclaimed indignantly, "What are you yelling for! What's with a big man blushing!"

Song Que took a moment to catch his breath. He could strategize and remain calm in the midst of war, but for some reason, after learning about Li Xiaoyu's life these past days—even though he had never met this young lady—he felt a chill every time he thought of Li Xiaoyu.

Today, seeing Li Xiaoyu brought him great joy because she was lovelier than he had imagined, just unexpectedly so.

It was a political marriage between the two families, but he wasn't averse to it. Naturally, he wanted to get along with Li Xiaoyu properly.

But this sudden encounter upset his plans.

Li Zheng found it amusing to see this side of the Song Family's eldest son.

Tang was also mildly surprised; Song Que was indeed different from what he had imagined.

If he had to choose a friend among the sons of the top three families, he thought Song Que would be the most interesting.

Tang Xian said nothing.

Li Xiaoyu would have to meet Song Que sooner or later; what if Song Que's excellence could change her mind?

Song Que stood by, hemming and hawing, wanting to say something but unable to speak—it was an awkward shyness, like that of the boy next door.

Li Xiaoyu didn't look at Song Que again, instead scrutinizing Tang Xian very carefully.

Tang's expression was natural, no different from usual. It seemed he didn't care about the present situation at all. The only fluctuation might have been his admiration for Song Que.

A sense of desolation slowly surfaced in the depths of Li Xiaoyu's profound eyes.

She often didn't know what Tang Xian was thinking—guessing his thoughts was something both painful and enjoyable for her.

But at this moment, Li Xiaoyu knew what Tang Xian was thinking.

And because she knew, she felt even more desolate.

From a very young age, she knew her fate through the arrangements made in the name of love by others.

She didn't escape this arranged marriage.

But faced with Tang's apparent indifference, she felt terrible.

She was nothing if not persistent towards him, all she wanted was to make her feelings clear to him.

Suddenly, Li Xiaoyu felt disheartened.

"Tang Xian, you're really an idiot!"

She flipped her sleeves and left without looking back.

Leaving Tang Xian dumbfounded, Song Que, and Li Zheng also confused about what had just happened.

Song Que was about to follow her, but Li Zheng held him back.

"You better not follow my sister when she's throwing a tantrum."

Song Que didn't know much about matters between men and women and just said:

"Brother Tang, why did she suddenly get angry with you."
