Chapter 23: Although You’re Right, Tang Xiao is So Handsome – Add Bookmark and Vote

It wasn’t long before the ambulance arrived.

The doctors and nurses used their equipment to examine Mr. Fan, who was lying on the floor.

The doctor packed away his instruments and said, “Acute cardiovascular spasm and blockage caused dangerously high blood pressure and fainting. The danger period has passed. There is no immediate life-threatening risk, but he should stay in the hospital for a few days for observation.”

The doctor’s diagnosis matched Tang Xiao’s.

The doctor also praised them, saying, “You handled the emergency very well. Keeping the patient in this position really helped clear the blocked blood vessels.”

Xiao Cheng grabbed Tang Xiao’s hand and thanked him profusely. “Thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, Mr. Fan would have been in serious trouble…”

Xiao Cheng shared a deep bond with Mr. Fan, and he was extremely grateful to Tang Xiao.

“Little brother, I’ll accompany Mr. Fan to the hospital now. I’ll be sure to thank you properly later!” Xiao Cheng promised.

Tang Xiao didn’t mind. “It was just a small favor. No trouble.”

Mr. Fan was lifted into the ambulance and driven away.

Applause broke out at the scene.

“Little brother is amazing. What a remarkable young man.”

“You can’t judge a book by its cover. I knew this handsome guy was extraordinary.”

“Wonderful, just wonderful.”

“This young man is so handsome.”

“This is how young people should be!”

Lan Xin walked up to Tang Xiao with a smile and asked, “Little brother, I don’t think I caught your name.”

“My name is Tang Xiao.”

Lan Xin addressed the crowd, “So this is little brother Tang Xiao. Everyone, in celebration of Mr. Fan’s recovery and to thank Tang Xiao, we’ll be offering a bottle of Fidel Private Estate wine to every table tonight!”

The wine from Fidel’s private estate was famous internationally and quite expensive, with a bottle worth around 20,000 yuan.

Jianhu Xuan was a high-end restaurant that required reservations, never offered discounts, and never gave out freebies. Offering a 20,000 yuan bottle of wine to every table was a truly generous gesture from Lan Xin.

“Big sister Lan, you’re so generous!”

“Don’t thank me, thank little brother Tang Xiao,” Lan Xin said with a high emotional intelligence, deflecting the thanks to Tang Xiao.

Everyone was thrilled to have this opportunity.

Lan Xin was genuinely grateful to Tang Xiao.

He had solved a major problem for her. If Mr. Fan had died here, her Jianhu Xuan would no longer be able to operate.

Lan Xin raised her glass. “Here, I propose a toast to Tang Xiao!”

“Tang Xiao, cheers!”

Everyone raised their glasses in a toast to Tang Xiao.

Xin Ling also smiled warmly at him.

At this moment, Tang Xiao shone like the center of attention, surrounded by admiration.

Tang Xiao felt uneasy. He wasn’t used to this kind of attention.

After the toast, everyone returned to their tables, continuing their meals.

They chatted and laughed, discussing the events that had just unfolded.

Now and then, someone came to Tang Xiao’s table to offer him another toast.

At first, he felt out of place, but he quickly learned how to handle it and grew more at ease.

Lan Xin walked gracefully to Tang Xiao’s table. “Little brother Tang Xiao, thank you so much today. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without you.”

Tang Xiao humbly replied, “It wasn’t a big deal. Just a small thing.”

Lan Xin handed him a black card.

“Little brother Tang Xiao, this is the Svip membership gold card for our Jianhu Xuan restaurant. It grants you a lifetime 50% discount. This card has a credit limit of 500,000 yuan, as a thank-you gift for your righteous act today. Your meal tonight is on me.”

“This…”

500,000 yuan. That was an amount beyond what Tang Xiao could even imagine.

He was reluctant to accept it. The gift was too generous.

What Tang Xiao didn’t know was that high-end restaurants like Jianhu Xuan rarely issue membership cards.

The SVIP Gold Card was the highest tier of membership. Since the opening of Jianhu Xuan, they had probably issued fewer than ten of these cards, making it a symbol of status—money alone couldn’t buy it.

Lan Xin was also quite strategic.

She could have directly given Tang Xiao cash, but instead, she gave him a Jianhu Xuan consumption card.

This meant that Tang Xiao would have to come back to this restaurant in the future, effectively building a friendship with him and creating opportunities for future interactions.

Of course, Lan Xin’s current status was much higher than Tang Xiao’s, and this card symbolized a deep, valuable relationship.

Xin Ling added, “You should accept it, brother. You’ve really helped them out. If you don’t take it, they’ll still feel uneasy.”

“Alright. Thank you,” Tang Xiao reluctantly accepted the card.

“Hehehe, Tang Xiao is so innocent,” Lan Xin said with a light laugh, covering her mouth, her cheeks slightly flushed, her eyes sparkling with charm.

Tang Xiao was already handsome, and after his impressive rescue earlier, Lan Xin found herself liking this young man more and more.

However, Lan Xin was aware that Xin Ling was Tang Xiao’s companion, so she knew her chances tonight were slim. With a few polite words, she gracefully excused herself.

Throughout this, Tang Jie and Su Lengdie were watching closely.

From the way Tang Xiao handled the emergency with such composure, they were both stunned.

Then, as various people came over to offer him toasts, they were even more shocked.

The people dining here were all wealthy or influential figures from Jiang’an City, including Jianhu Xuan’s owner, Lan Xin.

They showed Tang Xiao a level of respect that even Tang Jie’s father, Tang Rushan, rarely received.

The two young women were left dumbfounded.

For some reason, the animosity they had toward Tang Xiao began to fade.

Tang Jie and Su Lengdie approached Tang Xiao’s table.

Tang Jie asked, “Tang Xiao, do you know medicine? Are you familiar with acupuncture?”

Tang Xiao coldly replied, “What’s it to you?”

Tang Jie fumed, “Tang Xiao! I’m speaking to you nicely, why are you acting like this?!”

Tang Jie thought she had been polite enough, but Tang Xiao showed no respect.

She couldn’t understand—she wasn’t Tang Xiao. How could she know the pain the Tang family had caused him?

Tang Xiao had once dreamed of earning even a little bit of favor from the Tang family. Now, he no longer cared.

“This is my attitude.”

Tang Xiao took a sip of red wine, not even glancing at Tang Jie.

“You!” Tang Jie gritted her teeth in anger. Su Lengdie didn’t know what to say either.

Xin Ling, not holding back, said, “Ladies, if you’re done, please leave. Don’t disrupt our meal.”

Tang Xiao put down his knife and fork and said, “No need, I’m done. Let’s go.”

“Okay, I’ll follow your lead.” Xin Ling was extremely obedient.

Tang Xiao stood up, towering nearly a head above Tang Jie and Su Lengdie.

He was strong, broad-shouldered, and his demeanor was cold and imposing.

Up close, he exuded a powerful presence.

He was a far cry from the timid, frail Tang Xiao of the past.

Tang Xiao said indifferently, “Please move, you’re blocking the way.”

He pushed past the two women and took Xin Ling’s hand, leading her out.

“You! Damn Tang Xiao!” Tang Jie yelled at his retreating figure.

But Tang Xiao didn’t even look back.

Tang Jie stomped her foot, “That damn Tang Xiao. I’ve been so polite to him, and yet he treats me like this. What a petty person.”

“Mm-hmm, right.” Su Lengdie responded dismissively.

Tang Jie sensed Su Lengdie’s indifference. “Lengdie, why aren’t you joining me in cursing Tang Xiao? Are you still my good sister?”

Su Lengdie said, “Tang Xiao didn’t do right, but… he’s so handsome. He was so strong and domineering earlier…”

Su Lengdie stared at Tang Xiao’s retreating figure, seemingly lost in thought.

Tang Jie fumed, “Su Lengdie! You traitor!”
