บท 23: Flaunting His Status

Ellen and the rest ordered the food and started to talk to each other. Tang Lao kept her distance after being called a 'dirt' by Ellen indirectly.

She smiled bashfully as she asked, "Brother Ellen, who is that girl beside you?"

She wanted to ask that question to him right from the moment she had seen that beautiful woman but couldn't find a right time before, so she finally got to ask this right now.

Ellen simply gazed at Song Xia, who was sipping her black coffee and smiled as he replied with a doting expression in his usually cold face, "She's my girlfriend."

Song Xia: "..."

You... who did you say is your girlfriend?!

She was just enjoying her black coffee, what did she do to provoke him that he slandered her like that?

Song Xia immediately choked on her coffee and started coughing violently.

Ellen patted her back gently and gave her a glass of water as he chided her gently, "Don't drink it too fast! No one will steal your coffee from you! Or are you afraid that someone will steal me away from you?"

He said as he flirtatiously winked at her.

'Why can't I maintain my composure in front of this man?!' Song Xia couldn't help but blush again as she lowered her head in embarrassment.

Tang Lao felt jealous as she tried her best to calm herself down and asked with a sweet but forced smile, "Sister, may I know your name?"

Song Xia pursed her lips as she said after a while, "...Tang Xuan. I live in Beijing."

Ellen narrowed his brows as he looked at her. A hint of confusion could be seen in his eyes. He frowned, what was she thinking about?

At first, she changed her English name and now, her Chinese name. Was she going to change her whole identity soon?

Tang Lao smiled as she secretly gritted her teeth. They shared the same 'Tang' surname but how come this b*** was the one for Brother Ellen!

'Don't worry, Tang Lao, she's only a girlfriend right now! She must be a plaything whom he will play with and then throw away like garbage!

Tang Long saw his daughter' s unhappiness and he naturally had to protect her from being bullied by other women.

He spoke with his eyes full of mockery and ridicule, "Nice to meet you, Miss Tang. But as far as I know there are only three renowned Tang Families in the whole Beijing!

"The TE Technology who ranks third in comparison; we, The Tang International ranks second and the first are the most popular and renowned Tang Family, the Tang Shixiao Corporation, who have a very diligent and famous surgeon as their heir. Miss Tang, which family's Young Miss are you?"

Tang Long had definitely thought that either she came from the third ranked Tang Family or from a low class family whose surname was coincidentally Tang. So, he said while flaunting his status.

Ellen's eyes turned cold as he said, "So, CEO Tang is trying to judge my choices."

It was a simple sentence, but it actually made a chill run down Tang Long's spine and he became scared instantaneously.

Tang Lao sneered in her heart.

So, this 'girlfriend' was actually a low-class and ordinary girl! *Scoff* Does she even deserve Brother Ellen?! She only has a pretty face! She must've bewitched Brother Ellen so much that he's actually protecting her!

'I'm hundred times better than her!'

Tang Lao glanced at Song Xia who looked so calm and had an expressionless face, as if she didn't hear the mocking words from Tang Long.

She furrowed her brows and felt slightly terrified from her expressionless yet cold gaze.

Was it only her imagination or did this woman really have such a cold glare, similar to that of Brother Ellen's?!

Tang Long then spoke with a benevolent smile, "It's okay if Miss Tang doesn't want to reply! I was just simply asking..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Song Xia interjected with a smile.

"It's okay, CEO Tang... I know that you don't care about my family background but... do you know that Tang Yan, the most diligent and famous surgeon of the Tang Family, is my elder brother? And The Tang Family who ranks in the first, are my parents."

Everyone in the table except Song Xia: "..."
