Chapter 455: Surprise

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Tang Wenyi forced herself to stand up and looked at these people with a pale face. The hatred and anger in her heart erupted like a volcano. The scene of the annual meeting seemed to have repeated itself! She clenched her fists tightly and thought to herself, I’ll remember today’s humiliation. After I become the head of the family, I won’t let these people and Lu Ming off!

“… Have you had enough laughing?”

Not only was this sentence not intimidating at all, but it also made those people laugh even louder. This was clearly not enough. Tang Wenyi glared at them. How dare they offend the Missy of the main family? They are just a group of opportunists! She gritted her teeth and said, “Aren’t you afraid of retribution?”

“Look at what you’re saying, Third Sister.”

Tang Nishang leisurely picked up her teacup and took a few sips. She said, “You’ve done so many things to harm the family. I want to ask you, why aren’t you afraid of divine retribution? If we really talk about this, even if we suffer retribution, you’ll be the first. If you’re not afraid, what are they afraid of? In my opinion, you don’t have the talent for business. I think you should forget it.”

“That’s right! Big Sister is doing this for your own good. Otherwise, the outside world will label you as trash and you won’t be able to clear your name in this lifetime.”

Tang Yajing chuckled and did not hide the mockery in her eyes at all. She knew it. What could Tang Wenyi do alone? She looked at her reputation in the family and was afraid that she would laugh even in her dreams! She did not believe that the old master still had hopes for Third Sister at this point!

“The reason why I’m so disliked by them is that you’ve contributed a lot to that, right? In the end, don’t you just want me to not be able to stay in the capital? It’s best if I fulfill your wish and spend the rest of my life in some remote corner! Heh, but you’ve miscalculated my personality. The more you’re like this, the more I won’t admit defeat easily!”

Tang Wenyi retorted, “I will achieve more than all of you! It’s just a momentary failure. I don’t think everyone here can do it very well when you take over the family matters for the first time. Everyone has a period of adaptation. As long as I get through this period…”

If these words were said by ordinary people, perhaps they would be convinced! Unfortunately, this was the Tang family. They had grown up in an elite environment since they were young. To be able to reach their current position, they were naturally not fools. They schemed and plotted against each other! Tang Wenyi was just a Missy of the main family without any real power now. There was nothing for them to be afraid of.

Hence, Lin Jinxu crossed his arms and held his chin. He said, “Who are you looking down on by saying this? We’ve been used to it since the beginning. Do you think that everyone here is on the same level as you? Wouldn’t the Tang family be finished?

Can you have some self-awareness? My Third Cousin.”

This sentence hit the nail on the head. Tang Wenyi was so angry that her face turned even redder. If she didn’t have to stay behind to report the situation, how could she continue to stay here and embarrass herself? After taking a few deep breaths, she said, “You should have seen enough of my joke, right? No matter what, I still have the same blood as you.

I advise you not to go too far!”

At the mention of the same blood, the expressions of the others instantly changed! This was their only weakness. After all, no one wanted to be related to a big fool. However, things did not go according to their wishes. No matter where they went, every time they mentioned the word ‘Tang’, people would think of Tang Wenyi!

It was no wonder that they disliked No. 3 so much.

Just as the dispute was about to reach its climax, an old man in a navy blue Tang suit walked in step by step with a walking stick. The originally lively hall instantly became quiet, and even the breathing of the people around him became much clearer. Tang Wenyi’s eyes lit up as if she had seen her savior!

Her greatest backer was finally here! With the old master around, no matter how much these people hated her, they would still give her some face! Thinking of this, she straightened her back smugly and swept her gaze across the faces of the elders. She even vaguely showed off. If you have the ability, continue arguing! Old Master would definitely not let go of those who bully me!

The old man sat down at the head of the table. He was not in a hurry to get to the point. Instead, he stared at his child expressionlessly and said, “No. 3, don’t say that I didn’t give you a chance. If you’re willing to tell the truth, I can deal with you lightly!

Is there something you’re not telling me?”

Faced with the sudden question, Tang Wenyi did not react for a moment. She scratched her head and said, “What… What can I hide from you? If you don’t let me do something, how can I disobey your orders? I’ve always listened to you the most, right?”

“If it were in the past, I might have believed you. But now, you no longer have any credibility. Do you think your rebellion has anything to do with you being reduced to this? Listen to me? You have nothing to do with this! Hurry up and tell me the truth. I know everything.”

The old man said in a low voice. The seriousness and unquestionability in his eyes made her heart skip a beat. He was not joking. Could it be that I’ve really done something infuriating? Her muddled mind could not think of an answer. In the end, she asked tentatively, “Can you give me a hint?”

The air was suddenly filled with mocking laughter.

Her gaze narrowed as she suppressed her anger and looked at the old man ‘obediently’.

Seeing this, the old man thought to himself, As expected, I shouldn’t have expected his daughter to have any self-reflection ability. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have almost ended up in the hospital because of her! When he thought of the news he had learned, he wanted to beat Tang Wenyi to death! Why are there so many troublesome things every day?

…

On the other side.

Lu Ming hummed an unknown tune, and the pen in his hand never stopped signing. The documents quickly piled up. When Chu Jinyu saw this scene, she asked curiously, “Brother Lu Ming, you’re in a good mood. Did something happen? Can you share it with me?”

“It’s nothing. It’s just that the Tang family should have already caused a commotion, right? I wonder if Tang Wenyi and Patriarch Tang liked the surprise I specially gave them.”

Lu Ming said with a smile. He had specially asked someone who knew Tang Boyan to ‘accidentally’ reveal something. Tang Wenyi had offended a big shot during this period of time, and so many people who were related to the Tang family had been defeated recently, causing the Tang family to be in a dilemma. It was also related to her!

He was looking forward to seeing what would happen to Tang Wenyi.
