Tang Ru's originally slightly flushed face instantly turned grim upon hearing the name.
She had thought Ling Feng was asking her to come closer for some reason, only for him to inquire about her father's name.
"Yes, he's my dad!" Tang Ru replied indifferently.
Tang Long, standing nearby, couldn't help but smile wryly and shake his head. He knew his younger brother, Tang Zhao, all too well. Tang Zhao was a complete businessman who looked down on soldiers or police officers like Tang Ru.
Ever since Tang Ru became a police officer, the father and daughter had been constantly bickering, often ending with overturned tables within a few sentences!
The relationship between Tang Long and Tang Zhao, the brothers, had also become extremely strained due to Tang Zhao's temperament and disposition.
Therefore, even though Tang Long now held the position of Deputy Commander of the Hanjiang War Zone, he had never offered any assistance to Tang Zhao in his family business.
At this moment, Yang Fei also glanced at the documents in his hand and then asked Ling Feng, "Heavenly Venerate, are you suggesting we select the Tang family to replace the position of the Wuhu Group?"
"What? Our Tang family?" Tang Long exclaimed first.
Zhao Wenjie, standing beside him, was also taken aback, then offered Tang Long a brilliant smile and said in a low voice, "Congratulations, congratulations!"
Tang Long couldn't help but show a look of ecstatic joy. Although his relationship with his younger brother Tang Zhao was not good, if the Tang family could replace the Wuhu Group's position in Hanjiang, it was something Tang Long would definitely be happy to see.
Only Tang Ru, after a slight surprise, said with a look of disdain, "Our family's small business is no match for the Wuhu Group. It's like comparing an ant to an elephant!"
After speaking, she put on a look of earnest advice and said to Ling Feng, "I advise you to give up this idea. It's better to avoid wasting your effort in the end."
"Hey! Tang Ru, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Tang Long's eyes immediately turned red, and he couldn't help but scold her.
What a joke!
This was a good thing that countless people dreamed of, and Tang Ru was actually pushing it away.
If Tang Zhao found out about this, he would be furious!
Before Tang Long could continue scolding Tang Ru, Ling Feng slightly raised his hand.
Tang Long immediately shut his mouth and retreated to the side with reverence.
Then, Ling Feng said seriously to Tang Ru, "Take me to your Tang family. I want to visit your father."
"Impossible!"
Tang Ru blurted out almost subconsciously.
Then Tang Ru realized her gaffe, her face flushed slightly. She turned back to Ling Feng and explained, "I mean, my dad is very busy and has gone out of town. He hasn't returned yet. If I take you there now, it will be a wasted trip!"
Beep beep beep...
As soon as Tang Ru finished speaking, her phone rang.
Tang Ru was startled, then took out her phone. Ling Xiaoran, who was sitting on her lap, looked up at Tang Ru's phone.
The little girl had already learned quite a few characters, and coincidentally, the three characters on Tang Ru's phone were among those she knew.
"Stinky Daddy!"
Tang Ru quickly covered Ling Xiaoran's mouth, her entire face turning extremely red. She looked up and saw Ling Feng's somewhat playful gaze.
Tang Ru glared fiercely at Ling Feng before answering the phone.
"Hello, I'm busy. If there's nothing important, hang up!"
Her tone was impolite, not at all like speaking to her father, showing no patience at all.
A very authoritative voice came from the other end, deliberately raising its volume: "You little brat, dare to hang up your old man's call? Humph, you learned your bad temper from your uncle, not like a woman at all!"
The voice was quite loud, and in an instant, Tang Long's expression changed.
Tang Ru also blinked apologetically at Tang Long, then replied, "Oh, Dad, do you have anything to say or not? I'm really busy here."
"Yes! Of course, there's something. Something very serious!" Tang Zhao's voice came again, with a hint of sternness, as he tried to make his daughter take it seriously.
Tang Ru's curiosity was piqued: "What important thing?"
"Heh heh, you remember the Hong family in Qingjiang, right? Hong Xuanming of the Hong family has been pursuing you. Today, Hong Xuanming is coming to visit. Dad has arranged everything for you. You must treat this marriage proposal properly!" Tang Zhao's voice came again, with a hint of severity.
But even through the phone, one could tell he was in a very good mood.
"A blind date?"
Tang Ru's eyes widened instantly, and she exclaimed.
After exclaiming, she seemed to realize something, her pretty face instantly flushed red, and she shyly avoided Ling Feng's gaze repeatedly.
Seeing that Ling Feng had no expression, she said into the phone again, "I'm not going, I'm not going back! I don't like that Hong Xuanming at all. He's so arrogant just because his family is rich. I hate people like that the most!"
Tang Ru's strong reaction made Tang Zhao on the other end pause.
But soon, Tang Zhao angrily slammed the table and roared into the phone.
"Nonsense! Tang Ru, I'm telling you, if you still recognize me as your father, you'll come back immediately! I'm telling you, if you don't come back before dinner tonight, I'll personally come to your station to arrest you! Humph!"
Doo doo doo...
"I'm not going back..."
Tang Ru wanted to struggle a bit more, but unexpectedly, the phone was directly hung up.
This infuriated Tang Ru to the point where her hair felt like it was on fire.
Tang Long on the side smiled wryly.
Family alliance, truly the nature of a businessman!
Tang Long had long expected that Tang Zhao would eventually arrange a marriage for Tang Ru, but he never thought it would happen at this critical juncture!
Tang Long looked at Ling Feng with trepidation.
How could Ling Feng possibly visit Tang Zhao at the Tang family now?
Thinking of his brother's stupidity, Tang Long couldn't suppress his anger and wished he could give him a good beating right now!
"Aunt Tang Ru, what's wrong? What is a blind date?"
Just as the atmosphere became a bit awkward, Ling Xiaoran tilted her little head and asked with a naive expression.
Tang Ru truly couldn't get angry at Ling Xiaoran. She put on a serious expression and said, "A blind date, for girls, is the most detestable thing in the world!"
"Ah?"
Ling Xiaoran immediately showed a look of fear.
Tang Ru continued, "Xiaoran, remember, when you grow up, don't ever go on a blind date!"
Ling Xiaoran was genuinely frightened by Tang Ru's demeanor and nodded her little head repeatedly: "Mmm, Xiaoran won't go on blind dates. I'm scared."
Seeing his niece being educated with such distorted values by Tang Ru, Ling Feng's forehead was covered in black lines.
He thought for a moment and asked, "You don't like this blind date prospect?"
