Chapter 6 : Living in a Storage Room! Only Five Hundred a Month! (Full Chapter)
"Do you really think what Xiao Xi said could be fake!?"
Seeing that Tang Qingmo was still denying it, Tang Xuerong burst out cursing.
"That's right! Xiao Xi is nothing like you, you vicious person. He's kind and would never lie," Tang Aili said sternly.
"Heh…"
"What are you laughing at?" Tang Jianren felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw Tang Qingmo laughing.
That disgraceful son of his had indeed become different from before, as if something had gone out of control…
It made him deeply uneasy.
"So after all this talk, you don't actually have any real evidence, do you?"
The three Tang sisters: "..."
Tang Qingmo looked at Bai Hualian.
"Just because someone with no blood relation said a few words, everyone pinned all the blame on me."
"Even the butler and servants could freely bully me. The Tang family is my hell!"
Bai Hualian: !!!
[Bai Hualian Regret Value +200!]
[Bai Hualian Regret Value +200!]
[Bai Hualian Regret Value +200!]
Wow…
As expected of a hypocritical white lotus—her 'wool' is really easy to harvest.
"No! That's not true!" Bai Hualian immediately burst into tears and knelt down in agony.
"Mom!!" The three Tang sisters hurriedly helped her up.
"You unfilial son! Are you trying to anger your mother to death?!"
Seeing his wife in distress, Tang Jianren stepped forward and raised his hand to strike Tang Qingmo.
However, just as his hand was about to fall, it was caught firmly by Tang Qingmo.
"You—!"
Before he could react, Tang Qingmo forcefully flung Tang Jianren to the ground.
"Ahhh!!"
Tang Jianren was already old, and unlike a cultivator, he was just an ordinary man.
With that throw, his entire body slammed hard onto the floor!
"You actually dare to lay hands on your father! You unfilial beast!!"
Tang Jianren immediately pointed at him and cursed,
"If I'd known it would turn out like this, I never should have acknowledged you! I should've let you starve to death out there!"
Bai Hualian and the three Tang sisters were stunned.
How dare Tang Qingmo!?
Back when his father scolded him, he wouldn't even dare lift his eyes.
And now he actually struck him!
Tang Qingmo merely looked at Tang Jianren coldly.
"How strange… so it turns out I have parents."
"You beast, what did you say!?" Tang Aili ground her teeth in fury.
The look in her eyes wasn't that of someone looking at her biological brother—
it was as if she were staring at an enemy.
"I grew up outside for eighteen years and was only brought back three months ago."
Tang Qingmo waved his hand lightly, his tone calm but bitter.
"And yet…"
"This so-called home is one where I'm casually punished with family law by the Tang patriarch, beaten and bullied by my own sisters and servants, ignored by Madam Tang, and haven't eaten a full meal in three months. It's hell."
"That can't be!" Bai Hualian cut in emotionally.
"Qingmo! I'm your mother! How could I not care about you?!"
"Then does Madam Tang know that I still don't even have my own room?"
"I've been living in a storage room with water leaking from the ceiling."
"What?!"
Bai Hualian's eyes widened.
Of course she knew.
Back when the original body was brought back, Tang Xianxi had said he didn't want him to become addicted to a life of luxury, so he suggested letting him sleep in the storage room first.
But now three months had passed—and he was still living there!
"As the real young master of the Tang family, I don't even have a room of my own. Is that what you call caring about me?"
"When Madam Tang says that, don't you find it ridiculous?"
Tang Qingmo's mocking gaze pierced Bai Hualian's heart with pain.
She didn't know!
She thought… she thought it was only for a week, and that her husband or the butler would arrange a room afterward!
Who knew…!!
[Bai Hualian Regret Value +200!]
[Bai Hualian Regret Value +200!]
[Bai Hualian Regret Value +200!]
[Host, Regret Value has reached 1400. You can draw once!] the system said excitedly.
[Oh, wait a bit longer.]
Bai Hualian looked at Tang Jianren in disbelief and saw the same shocked expression on his face.
Clearly, he also didn't know Tang Qingmo was still living in the storage room!
Tang Xuerong was momentarily guilty, but soon pointed at him and shouted,
"Isn't that because you grew up outside and brought back all those bad habits with you?!"
"We did it for your own good—to train you!" Tang Aili nodded in agreement.
Tang Meixin was initially shocked upon hearing about the storage room, but after hearing Tang Xuerong's words, she felt it made some sense and slowly nodded as well.
Tang Qingmo laughed helplessly at their thick-skinned excuses.
"Oh? Training my character? So starving me to death is also part of that training?"
"Beast! When did we ever want to starve you to death!" Tang Xuerong snapped, unable to hold back any longer, and stepped forward intending to slap Tang Qingmo.
But as she moved closer, Tang Qingmo cracked his knuckles, the sharp sound of bones echoing in the air.
She looked at Tang Qingmo's cold gaze, then at Tang Jianren lying on the floor—and retreated.
Tang Qingmo sneered,
"Just investigate it and you'll know—despite being the Tang family's young master, my monthly allowance is only 500 yuan."
"And every time we eat, so as not to make Tang Xianxi sad, I'm not allowed at the table. I can only eat your leftovers."
"Doesn't that count as wanting to starve me to death?"
!!!
"F-five hundred yuan?!"
Bai Hualian was shocked again.
For three months, Tang Qingmo lived in a storage room and only received 500 yuan per month!?
The Tang family was a wealthy elite family in Demon City.
Demon City was a first-tier city in Huaxia, with extremely high living costs. Giving him only 500 yuan a month—wasn't that killing him!?
She looked again at Tang Jianren and her daughters, only to see the same shocked expressions.
"Husband, didn't you give Qingmo pocket money?"
"Huh? I thought you gave it to him…"
When questioned, Tang Jianren's voice immediately became guilty.
"Aili, Meixin, Xuerong!"
She turned to the three sisters again, and upon seeing their troubled expressions, it felt like a bolt from the blue.
Could everything Qingmo said be true!?
A prestigious Tang family… only giving their son 500 yuan a month!?
