Chapter 391 Tang Jinglong
Jiang Yuheng spoke in a low voice.
"This Young Master Tang, named Tang Jinglong, is the prime scion of the first great family in the provincial city, and naturally, also the first among the scions of the province."
"He belongs to one of the seven, no, now six, great families of the provincial city—the Tang Family, and is the only son of the Tang Family Head."
"After graduating from college, instead of taking a position in the family business, he started his own enterprise with the five million in capital his father gave him."
"In eight years, he turned his company into a business worth tens of billions. Among the young generation of family scions and the second generation of the wealthy in the province, no one can hold a candle to his abilities."
As he spoke, Jiang Yuheng glanced at Xu Yang with a somewhat strange expression on his face.
They say Xu Yang became a billionaire within a year.
He's leagues beyond Tang Jinglong.
Continuing, he said, "This charity event was initiated by him, and he's been holding it for the past five years."
Xu Yang nodded and looked toward the entrance as well.
Before long, they saw a man who looked to be in his late twenties walk in.
The man's attire seemed plain compared to the luxury brands that the other scions and wealthy heirs typically wore.
His clothes were high-end, likely custom-made, but they gave off a very ordinary appearance.
He portrayed an image of being cultured and refined.
Those unaware would think he was a professor from a university.
He radiated an approachability that made him come across as someone without the slightest bit of pretense.
Following him was a young woman.
The young woman had delicate features, wore plain clothes, and her hair was tied back into a simple ponytail. With a simple white T-shirt and blue jeans, white sneakers on her feet, she looked as though she was still a college student.
"Xu Yang, that's Fang Bingqing, the granddaughter of Elder Fang!" Jiang Yuheng immediately nudged Xu Yang's arm.
He had seen Fang Bingqing before, as she had come to the charity event last year.
"She's finally here," Xu Yang said with a lift in his spirits.
"Eh, why is Young Master Tang arriving with Fang Bingqing?"
"You don't know? Young Master Tang is currently pursuing Fang Bingqing."
"Really? I had no idea."
"Fang Bingqing is so lucky to be pursued by Tang Jinglong!"
"Yeah, which girl in the province doesn't dream of marrying Tang Jinglong?"
"Only a girl like Fang Bingqing is worthy of being with Young Master Tang!"
"I remember at last year's charity event, the two of them seemed like just normal friends."
"Aren't couples often people who transition from being just ordinary friends?"
"The Fang Family is also one of the eight great families, though they're at the bottom of the list. But the Fang Family's pharmaceutical industry is unique within the province."
"Forget about the eight great families, the Yang Family is finished, and now there are only seven great families left."
"Right, right, it's unbelievable that a family like the Yangs would collapse."
"Word is they caught the attention of some high-ranking figure. It's quite normal for them to be wiped out overnight."
"If Young Master Tang and Fang Bingqing get together, the Tang Family will likely become the leader among the seven great families, and even the Fang Family would no longer be at the bottom."
"Since Young Master Tang is pursuing Fang Bingqing, this matter is as good as set in stone. In the future, we just have to look forward to enjoying the wedding feast between Young Master Tang and Fang Bingqing."
Everyone was chattering amongst themselves.
"Young Master Tang!"
The scions and heirs were all excited to come forward and shake hands with Tang Jinglong.
Tang Jinglong was gracious, shaking hands with everyone who extended theirs, fully displaying his affability.
"Miss Fang."
Besides shaking hands with Tang Jinglong, the scions and heirs also greeted Fang Bingqing, though they did not shake her hand.
Everyone could tell that Tang Jinglong must be pursuing Fang Bingqing, or the two were already together.
They were even shaking hands with Fang Bingqing, wondering what that was all about.
Jiang Yuheng said, "Xu Yang, Tang is a decent guy, and he doesn't look down on us rich second generations. Last year, he even chatted with me for a bit, giving the impression that he's comfortable to be around. I believe if you get to know him, you guys could definitely become good friends."
Xu Yang smiled and replied, "Maybe."
Jiang Yuheng suggested, "Let's go shake his hand too."
Xu Yang shook his head and said, "I'll pass, you go ahead."
He had no interest in shaking hands with Tang Jinglong in such a manner.
His purpose for coming here was to get to know Fang Bingqing.
Just now, it was clearly not the right moment.
"Then I'll go."
Jiang Yuheng squeezed through the crowd, shook Tang Jinglong's hand, and then returned, an excited look on his face.
Xu Yang shook his head, not understanding what was so exciting about shaking hands with someone.
"Tang, are you pursuing Miss Fang? Or are you two already together?" asked one of the scions.
All eyes were expectantly on Tang Jinglong.
Tang Jinglong was a top scion, who had always maintained a good image and had been actively involved in philanthropy.
No one knew how many young ladies from distinguished families wanted to marry Tang Jinglong.
Yet Tang Jinglong's love life had always been a blank slate, focusing only on his own affairs.
As a result, the older generation of the other major families could only turn their attention to Yang Yaowen.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many elders from distinguished families eager to marry their daughters to Yang Yaowen.
Now, with Tang Jinglong attending the charity event alongside Fang Bingqing, it couldn't help but set minds racing.
Was it possible that Tang Jinglong had remained unattached all these years because he was waiting for Fang Bingqing?
Everyone knew that Fang Bingqing had moved abroad at a young age for certain reasons and had only returned last year.
Her appearance at last year's charity event was when she first entered everyone's sight.
Upon hearing the question, Tang Jinglong paused for a moment, looked tenderly at Fang Bingqing, then said, "This is actually what I wanted to announce to everyone, Bingqing just agreed to be my girlfriend two days ago."
Hearing this, the crowd sent their congratulations.
"Tang, congratulations to you!"
"Miss Fang, congratulations to you too!"
"Tang, Miss Fang, you two are truly a match made in heaven."
"Tang, Miss Fang, you two are so well-matched."
"Tang, Miss Fang, we look forward to drinking to your wedding!"
...
"Tang, could you share how you won over Miss Fang? We all know that ever since Miss Fang returned from abroad, there were a lot of people interested in her. You've managed to win her over quietly. Share some tips with us, so we can learn a thing or two," someone teased.
"Maybe it's because we share common interests. I like doing charity work, and so does she.
We ran into each other a few times at charitable events, then started communicating, realizing that we share the same language, so naturally we ended up together," Tang Jinglong replied without the slightest concern for the teasing, answering with a face full of happiness, as if he had indeed found the love of his life.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Listening to this exchange, Fang Bingqing was dignified and unembarrassed, looking at Tang Jinglong with tender eyes.
It was clear that they liked each other.
Both came from families of equal status, and they were a handsome man and a beautiful woman, making them extremely well-matched.
No one found any reason for concern.
Xu Yang, on the other hand, wasn't concerned about this. He was just thinking about finding the right opportunity to get to know Fang Bingqing and thereby securing a chance to visit the Fang Family Head.
