Zhang Yiyang looked utterly exhausted, his entire demeanor had grown haggard, wrinkles had formed on his once refined face, and he even sprouted some white hairs on his head!
At this moment, his expression was grim, and even the hand holding the teacup trembled!
Setting down the teacup, Zhang Yiyang looked at Huangfu Song sitting at the head of the table and spoke:
"Uncle, this time I, Zhang Yiyang, can only shamelessly ask for your Huangfu Family's help! If you agree to assist, helping the Zhang Family overcome this catastrophe, half a month later, I will have Zihan marry Ling. From then on, we will groom Ling as the successor of the Zhang Family!"
Zhang Yiyang felt bitter in his heart, deeply regretting that his own daughter disfigured herself in refusal of this marriage!
If it were not for the Zhang Family being pushed to a desperate situation, he would never go against his daughter's wishes to seek help from the Huangfu Family!
But now, with the Bai Family and Qin Family's power on the rise, pushing the Zhang Family into a corner, and the internal factions within the Zhang Family aligning against him, it wouldn't take long before the entire Zhang Family completely crumbled under their pressure, getting devoured by both the Bai Family and Qin Family!
Only the Huangfu Family's intervention could now save the Zhang Family from collapse and restore its former glory!
Seeing his lifelong rival, Zhang Yiyang, in such a disheveled state, Huangfu Tuohai couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction, sharing a smile with his wife.
Huangfu Song stroked his beard, a sharp glint flashing in his elderly eyes.
The Huangfu Family had been waiting for this moment, as long as Zhang Yiyang promised to groom Huangfu Ling as the Zhang Family's successor, their family would stand unshakable forever!
"Haha… Yiyang, you are too formal! Back in the day, Zihan's grandfather and I were old buddies! If the Zhang Family is in trouble, our Huangfu Family naturally won't sit idly by!"
Huangfu Song, indeed a crafty old fox of Hong Kong, usually plotted the major strategies for the Huangfu Family. Now narrowing his old eyes, he directly said:
"However, you know as well! The Bai and Qin Families are always overbearing. If our Huangfu Family intervenes outright, it would only lend credence to gossip. Of course, if we could hasten the marriage of Ling and Zihan, then our helping hand would be justified. The biggest problem now lies with Zihan!"
Hearing Huangfu Song's words, Huangfu Ling's mother, smiling, intervened:
"Family Head Zhang, I have always liked Zihan, and even now that she's disfigured, our Huangfu Family will not dislike her! We do hope, however, that you can convince Zihan to undergo cosmetic surgery soon, so our families can be joined. Your family's issues would then also be our family's concern!"
Huangfu Ling's mother was a mature yet charming woman, and if not for the slight crows' feet at her eyes, she might have passed for a woman in her early thirties.
Hearing this, Zhang Yiyang could only nod miserably:
"You have my assurance! I will definitely speak earnestly with Zihan and ensure that Ling's devotion isn't in vain!"
"That's wonderful! We will all be one family then!"
Hearing Zhang Yiyang's guarantee, the three members of the Huangfu Family almost couldn't contain their joy.
They certainly didn't care about Zhang Zihan; what they cared most about was the power and immense wealth of the Zhang Family.
Securing Zhang Zihan equated to securing the Zhang Family, and once they absorbed the Zhang Family, the Huangfu Family would become the foremost family in Hong Kong. Even dominating the Hong Kong business world seemed imminent!
While the four discussed the details, the sound of footsteps approached from the staircase; 'Huangfu Ling' slowly descended.
Seeing 'Huangfu Ling' come down, all four were stunned, clearly not expecting him to be awake at such a late hour.
"Ling, you've come at the perfect time! We were just discussing your upcoming marriage to Zihan with your future father-in-law!" Huangfu Ling's mother Tang Yan, her face full of indulgence and pride, strode over with a sway of her hips:
"Hurry up and pour some tea for your father-in-law! You child, since you're still awake, why didn't you come down earlier!"
Although Tang Yan seemed to be complaining about 'Huangfu Ling', there wasn't a hint of anger on her face!
In her eyes, her son was absolutely the best!
Not only was he handsome and extraordinary, but he was also knowledgeable and intelligent, definitely the treasure of the Huangfu Family!
However, when Tang Yan reached out to grab Huangfu Ling's hand, Huangfu Ling suddenly tightened his grip and pulled Tang Yan into his embrace:
"Mom! I want to drink milk!"
Gah!!!
Huangfu Ling's statement shocked everyone present to their core!
Huangfu Song was originally stroking his beard with a smile, but when he heard his grandson's words, his hand shook violently, almost ripping out his beard, causing him a lot of pain!
Meanwhile, Huangfu Tuohai, who had just swallowed some tea, spat it right out upon hearing his son's words, spraying his father's face with tea!
Beyond that, the bodyguards and servants outside the villa also heard Huangfu Ling's words, each twitching at the corners of their mouths, all dumbfounded!
"You... you child, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Tang Yan's face suddenly flushed red; she felt her 'beloved son' was a bit off, especially his roaming hands!
However, Huangfu Ling just giggled nonstop and planted a big kiss on Tang Yan's face:
"Mom, your skin feels even better than the last time I touched it! Has that old guy been nourishing you daily?"
Pfft!!!
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Song and Huangfu Tuohai in the hall were so angry they almost vomited blood. They stared blankly at their 'beloved treasure', too angry to speak, even forgetting to scold him!
And Tang Yan was completely dumbstruck!
Feels better than the last time I touched you?
This... what the hell kind of comparison is that...
You damn brat, the last time you touched, you were still in split pants, what do you know!
While Tang Yan was still dazed, 'Huangfu Ling' was not idle!
Hey! And don't you start, this old lady's still got it better than some young women, really well-maintained!
While Tang Yan had no idea what her 'beloved son' was thinking, if she had known, she would have spewed out three liters of blood, wishing she could beat this brat back into a fertilized egg, stuffing him back into her womb to rethink his words!
Yet, Huangfu Ling didn't care about Tang Yan's confusion and, giggling, said:
"Mom, let's sleep together tonight! Last time that old guy wasn't home, you made me feel so comfortable (⊙o⊙) oh!"
