The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1398 - 1397: Chasing After My Wife

What's strange is that after Zhang Yishan returned to the Zhang Family, he never contacted Tang Rao again, not even through Illusion City.Tang Rao approached the Zhang Family, only to be stopped at the entrance.

"Who are you?"

Two large knives were placed against Tang Rao's neck. Tang Rao hadn't even thought of dodging and stood upright in front of the Gatekeeper.

"Has Zhang Yishan, as the head of the Zhang Family, forgotten who I am?"

Tang Rao coldly rebuked, not caring about the threatening display of the two large knives.

"The Family Head is meeting guests. You can give me your name, and I'll pass it on for you."

Hearing Tang Rao's tone, the Gatekeeper thought that the Zhang Family had just encountered trouble, and they couldn't afford to offend any important person.

"Tang Rao."

As soon as Tang Rao spoke, the name alone startled the person on the other side.

"What, Tang Rao, you're Tang Rao?"

The Gatekeeper couldn't believe it. Wasn't Tang Rao supposed to have a bad temper and be prone to violence? But the person standing in front of him, smiling and not making a move, how could this be the legendary Tang Rao?

"Brother, the Family Head said that anyone claiming to be Tang Rao can go straight in. However, I must ask for your understanding, as there have been many lately claiming to be Tang Rao. If I let everyone through, the Family Head will blame me, so please give me a moment to pass on the message."

The Gatekeeper was much more polite than before. Zhang Yishan managed things better than his father.

"Go ahead, I don't mind. I'm not in a hurry, I can wait."

Since they respected Tang Rao, he couldn't help but give some face to Zhang Yishan's subordinates.

After the time it took to drink a few cups of tea, other than the Gatekeeper who came earlier, Zhang Yishan also followed behind him.

He looked exhausted, as if he had gone through a major ordeal.

"Brother Tang Rao, you should have given me a heads-up before coming. This way, we could have avoided misunderstandings. It's fortunate; please come in."

Zhang Yishan was just as Tang Rao remembered. Tang Rao was moved, grateful that Zhang Yishan was a conscientious person. If Zhang Yishan lacked conscience, Tang Rao wouldn't have had such a good relationship with him.

"Yi Shan, I thought you had forgotten about your brother. I couldn't even get in."

Tang Rao didn't actually blame Zhang Yishan, he was just a bit ruffled in his speech.

"I should call you Boss Tang Rao, but with so many people here, I dare only call you Brother Tang Rao. It's all because you give me face. The Zhang Family was established by you. How could I forget about you?"

Zhang Yishan's gratitude touched Tang Rao deeply. He thought that all his efforts outside, going through so much trouble, worrying about Zhang Yishan's marriage, were finally worth it.

"Let's go inside. I have something I want to ask you."

Tang Rao had a lewd smile, leaving Zhang Yishan puzzled.

"Boss, I've seen everything that's happened to you in Illusion City these past few days. I was worried you'd be distracted, so I didn't send any messages, fearing something would go wrong."

As long as nothing happened to Tang Rao, seeing him lively was enough for Zhang Yishan to feel content.

"Not much is happening with the others, but I wanted to ask you, how are things between you and your wife?"

So he was gossiping about matters between him and Song Xiaoxiao?

Zhang Yishan had confided in Tang Rao before that his biggest concern was his relationship with Song Xiaoxiao might fall apart and they wouldn't end up together. Unfortunately, what Zhang Yishan feared happened on Song Xiaoxiao's side. The Zhang and Song Families had fallen into a dispute over previous affairs. Mr. Song even said that if Song Xiaoxiao dared reconcile with Zhang Yishan, Zhang Yishan could get her to leave the family.

These grievances were held inside, and Zhang Yishan hadn't dared to tell anyone until now.

"It seems you haven't handled things well on your side?"

Zhang Yishan's furrowed brow could crush two green flies.

"If I had handled it well, I wouldn't have so many worries now. Look at my hair; it's almost turned white from stress!"

Like pouring beans, Zhang Yishan spoke out all he'd wanted to, finally finding someone to confide in. He was sure that Tang Rao wouldn't tell anyone else.

"So, you and Song Xiaoxiao still have feelings for each other, but due to the Song Family, you can't be together. Is that it?"

Approximately, Zhang Yishan resembled a wilted eggplant, mouth opening, wanting to say more, yet he couldn't.

"Mr. Song doesn't seem like someone difficult to deal with. Why won't he let you two be together? Is it really necessary to involve the second generation in the troubles of the first generation?"

Exactly!

If it weren't for the troubles of the previous generation, Zhang Yishan wouldn't have been so troubled now!

"Boss, can you guide me on what to do? You have experience. How can Xiaoxiao and I be together? Without her, I find it uneasy being the Family Head."

In name, Zhang Yishan was the head, but the family's constraints were more binding than if he were a regular person. At least, back then, he was still free and wouldn't have to consider past people, putting himself in a difficult position.

"Your wife is your wife, the Zhang Family is your family. The Song Family Master isn't unreasonable; maybe I can have a word with them."

The Song Family members aren't as difficult; he felt the Song Family Master handled social relationships better than the previous Zhang Family generation.

"Boss, would you really talk to them for me?"

Zhang Yishan's eyes lit up; was this really happening?

"I mean what I say, no idle talk."

Zhang Yishan excitedly grabbed Tang Rao by the corner of his clothes, admiring him, "Boss, by coincidence… the Song Family people are here now. I was just meeting with my father-in-law."

The Song Family is here?

Tang Rao felt as if he'd been set up.

"The Song Family dislikes the Zhang Family so much, yet they can sit together harmoniously?"

This possibility couldn't simply be because of Song Xiaoxiao.

"The Song Family claims the Zhang Family has caused them significant losses and demands compensation."

Is this a setup for a full-blown confrontation?

First taking their daughter back, then demanding compensation from the Zhang Family, how could Tang Rao speak on behalf of the Zhang Family?

"I... I can't promise anything else. Let's assess the situation first. I'll do my best."

Tang Rao's face was embarrassed; he realized the Song Family wasn't as simple as he had imagined. He had confidently promised Zhang Yishan to help get his wife back.

"Boss, my father-in-law isn't in a good mood today. Be sure to keep calm later, just for my sake. Whether I can get my wife back depends entirely on you."

"I'll try my best, I'll try."

Before Zhang Yishan spoke, Tang Rao was confident. Afterwards, it was like he'd had a bucket of cold water dumped over his head.
