Black Lotus - Chap 26
Tang Shuo had been busy purchasing new instruments for his studio over the past few days. He had ordered a lot of high-quality instruments from abroad. When paying for them, he found out that his card balance wasn’t enough.
He had to deposit half of the money first. He had no money on the card so he had to go home asking for help. He called his mother saying to her that he would be back at night.
“Young Master, you’re back.”
“Well, something happened.”
As soon as he got home, Tang Shuo happily shouted to the upper floor: “Mom! Dad! I’m back!”
“What’s happening, who’s shouting?” Mother Tang walked downstairs impatiently. After seeing Tang Shuo sitting on the sofa in the living room, she suddenly realized it and quickly walked over.
“Oh, Tang Tang, you finally came back, my good son doesn’t miss me.”
Hearing that sweet nickname, Tang Shuo got goosebumps.
“Mom, can you stop calling me like that? Why are you still calling me by that nickname when I’m so grown up.”
“Boy, did you forget your way home? you never come, not even once a month, you don’t even bother yourself to call us. If your brother didn’t tell us that you’re busy with the studio, we would think you were kidnapped.”
Tang Shuo took an apple bitting it, and asked: “Where is my dad? Why don’t I see him?”
“Your dad has gone to the company. Recently, there are several new cooperation projects. Your brother can’t deal with it alone. If you join the company to help your dad, he wouldn’t be so tired.”
Mother Tang looked at Tang Shuo with an expression of harshness. The youngest son had no interest in company matters since he was a child. There was nothing more she could do with him.
“My brother can do it by himself. He grew up with the idea of doing business. I don’t have the talent for that, and you know it.”
“What are mother and son talking about? Your voices can be heard from outside the door.”
Two people in black formal suits entered to the room. The person with a slight belly showing off was walking in front with a steady pace, he looked at Mother Tang with a bright smile.
The other person walking behind smiled gently fixing the gold-frame glasses on the bridge of his nose. His gentle and elegant manner made people feel like a spring breeze.
“Dad, brother, you’re back.”
“Come here brat, why you haven’t come home to visit your father.” Father Tang slapped Tang Shuo on the head looking at him with adoration.
“Oh, did somebody said I didn’t miss you? Of course, I missed you guys, I brought mom the new perfume of her favorite brand.”
“How long are you going to stay this time? What do you think about your mother’s proposal that you join the company to help?”
Tang Shuo sighed, saying: “Brother, you are in the company. Over the years, you have learned to manage the company better and better. I like music and I like the work I do now. I want to continue improving my studio.”
“Fine, you’re still young, you can play for a few more years, now tell me when do you plan to get married? I’ve been able to find a couple of nice people for you a few days ago, do you want to meet them?”
“I have someone I like.” Tang Shuo said abruptly scaring Tang’s father and mother.
Tang Lunxuan raised his eyes to glance at Tang Shuo, without saying anything.
“What? Which girl? How long? How did you meet?” Mother Tang asked hurriedly.
“Still trying, I’m not sure if I will make it. Anyway, I won’t go on a blind date.”
“Then you should hurry up, your dad and I are waiting for you to get married.”
Tang Lunxuan saw that his younger brother was embarrassed, unable to speak, so he changed the subject saying: “Mom, Dad just said that he was hungry, so please can you accompany Dad to eat something.”
Tang’s father took Tang’s mother’s hand to walk to the kitchen. Tang Lunxuan also wanted to get up to go to the kitchen but was grabbed by Tang Shuo.
“Brother~my dear brother~”
Tang Shuo batted his lashes looking at Tang Lunxuan pleadingly.
