Beisitian arrived at the Tian Family and t her grandfather Tian Heming alone.
Tian Heming had been feeling uneasy these past few days, constantly fearing that sothing might happen. With the apprenticeship ceremony imminent, nothing must go wrong.
Thinking about this, problems did arise — Tian Heming personally oversaw the arrangents partly because of the impact of the event, and also for confidentiality reasons.
But who would have thought that this matter has nearly beco common knowledge now, with everyone knowing that the Wei Family would host an apprenticeship ceremony at the Tian Family!
Beisitian’s arrival further unsettled Tian Heming. He knew that his granddaughter rarely made any conclusions easily.
"I had your uncle start investigating this matter two days ago, and we should have results soon," Tian Heming said.
Beisitian nodded, "The fact that this issue has spread so widely makes finding out the source secondary."
Tian Heming fell silent. That was indeed the case. He sighed, wondering how he would explain to Beisitian if it was indeed soone from the Tian Family who leaked the information.
Beisitian hid these concerns not only to protect herself but also to protect those behind her, including the Tian Family!
Seeing Tian Heming’s brows tightly knitted with unease in his eyes, Beisitian knew that he also suspected it might be soone from the Tian Family.
Beisitian had lunch with Tian Heming, and in the afternoon, Tian Qinghui returned with news.
Tian Qinghui looked at Beisitian and sighed inwardly.
"Speak," Tian Heming said solemnly.
"It was the third cousin and the fourth sister-in-law," Tian Qinghui sighed again.
The third cousin was Tian Qingyun, who had dinner at the third table that day, and the fourth sister-in-law was Lei Yehong, who wasn’t even there that day!
Both Tian Heming and Beisitian were startled; how could it be them?
Tian Qinghui recounted the whole story: apparently, Tian Qingyun was impressed by the grandeur of the occasion and couldn’t help but boast, especially after the Tian Family’s recent ordeals, which had caused him great anxiety and psychological disparity.
This disparity was evident in business dealings, where people judged based on appearances. With the Tian Family behind him, people were respectful, but since the Tian Family nearly faltered, those people’s attitude towards him cooled down.
After seeing the grand occasion that night, Tian Qingyun realized the Tian Family would prosper, and he wanted to showcase the family’s true strength to others. The next day, he first told the fourth brother’s family, and Lei Yehong’s sharp tongue could easily outmatch Tian Qingyun’s.
As a result, not only did so of the Tian Family’s business partners know about this, but several friendly family associates learned of it too!
"The third uncle said their table didn’t hear anything," Beisitian’s face turned a bit cold.
Tian Qinghui smiled wryly, "Su Lan said she heard everything clearly at the second table. She didn’t understand the implications, so she went back to ask the third cousin, who naturally didn’t know either. But he did know the Wei Family wasn’t simple."
The Wei Family business was vast, with a presence in nearly every major province nationwide, especially rooted in first-tier cities, involved in many industries.
The Wei Family has a solid backing — Tian Qingyun knew of the Wei Family yet never imagined they would visit the Tian Family one day.
Not just the Wei Family, Luo Xuhua and Zhou Quan are also industry elites. Luo Xuhua, needless to say, developed in Guangzhou, with powerful strength as one of the first listed companies on the Mainland.
Although Zhou Quan operates primarily in Pan Garden and Liuli Factory, Tian Qingyun vaguely heard that he was well-known in that area, also soone who stands by his word!
The Tian Family had been quiet for two years, and suddenly so many influential people ca — Tian Qingyun couldn’t help but boast.
Lei Yehong has a loose tongue and is looked down upon in those won’s circles. Though mostly secretly, she isn’t foolish and knows, so upon learning these things, she of course would tell those snobbish people, letting them see the Tian Family’s capability.
Tian Qinghui finished speaking with a face full of sha. Despite every precaution, it’s hard to guard against a thief within the family, and just because of vanity, they managed to ruin such a major affair.
Luckily, Su Lan didn’t know the implications, and fortunately, Tian Qingyun and Lei Yehong didn’t participate in the family’s major affairs, or Beisitian’s matters would have long been exposed.
Tian Heming’s face was stern, visibly furious, "Send both the third and fourth cousins and their families away."
Tian Qinghui’s expression changed slightly; being sent away equaled being removed from the Tian Family’s core, and not only removed but also sent far from Beijing, managing family businesses in small places — a catastrophic loss for the Tian Family’s core mbers!
He knew the old man was indeed angry. Regardless of the old man’s anger, he himself was furious upon learning it — Lei Yehong aside, a woman, but the third cousin, a grown man, goes spreading such talk like a gossiping woman.
The Tian Family finally had such a significant turnaround opportunity, ruined by two people who didn’t know their limits. Anyone would be angry.
This wasn’t just an opportunity for a turnaround anymore, but a trendous chance for the Tian Family — though Beisitian is Tian Heming’s granddaughter, his niece, she is undeniably a Mystic Doctor. Anger her, and whatever she gives to the Tian Family can be reclaid just as much!
Just like this incident, should she be angered, rely by speaking, the Tian Family would suffer greatly without needing her to act.
Never underestimate the influence of a Mystic Doctor.
Tian Qinghui observed Beisitian’s silence, unable to guess her thoughts. From another perspective, not from the Tian Family’s future standpoint, from Beisitian’s angle, they spread these matters due to frivolous vanity, bringing endless trouble and potentially mortal danger to Beisitian.
Saying mortal danger might be excessive, but once her identity is exposed, those people would definitely co, ending Beisitian’s peaceful days.
"I understand, I’ll go issue the notice right away," Tian Qinghui said.
At this mont, Beisitian spoke, "No need to rush."
Tian Heming and Tian Qinghui both looked at Beisitian. From their perspective, this matter wouldn’t be allowed to slide easily — they had to give her an explanation.
Beisitian wasn’t being soft-hearted; she had her considerations. If they broadcast sending the third and fourth families away right now, it would inevitably stir speculation. It’s better to take advantage of the situation; after all, those people don’t know who she is.
"Grandfather, I would like to et the third uncle and third aunt," Beisitian said.
Tian Heming had no reason to refuse, promptly ordering Tian Qinghui to call the couple, as for the fourth family, Beisitian didn’t plan to et them. With Lei Yehong’s character, Beisitian was too lazy to say much to her.
The reason Beisitian wanted to see Tian Qingyun and Su Lan was because the rumors outside only ntioned the Wei Family wanting to hold an apprenticeship ceremony at the Tian Family, but no one knows who the master is.
