Chapter 7.1 : Now That I’ve Said It, Are You Going to Give Me a New Room and Pocket Money? (Part 1)
Seeing the shocked expressions on the Tang family members' faces, Tang Qingmo found it laughable.
The original owner had actually poured his heart and soul into these people and endured like a ninja turtle for so long!
Now that he had transmigrated into this body, he deliberately revealed the original owner's experiences ahead of time, wanting to see how these so-called "family members" would handle it.
And the first person he targeted—
Was Bai Hualian.
"As the real young master of the Tang family—your biological son and biological brother—I'm not even worthy of sitting at the table to eat. I live in the darkest storage room, receive only five hundred yuan a month, and whenever you're in a bad mood, you beat and scold me. Even the servants can bully me however they like!"
"And that fake young master who stole eighteen years of my life? He lives in the biggest, brightest room, gets at least five hundred thousand yuan a month as pocket money, and enjoys all of your love…"
"This is the treatment the Tang family gives me—treatment worse than a dog!"
"My dear mother—now that you know all this, how exactly do you plan to care about me?"
"I… I…!!"
[Bai Hualian Regret Value +200!]
[Bai Hualian Regret Value +200!]
[Bai Hualian Regret Value +200!]
…
Bai Hualian was so shocked she couldn't speak, the regret in her heart skyrocketing uncontrollably!
[Host, you're amazing!] The system was extremely excited.
[I didn't expect that just a few words would let you harvest so much regret value. At this rate, dealing with the others should be easy too!]
[No.] Tang Qingmo shook his head.
[This only works on Bai Hualian. The others won't regret anything just because you say a few words.]
Bai Hualian was a hypocritical, self-unaware black-hearted white lotus. As long as words made her feel guilty, regret value would keep pouring in endlessly.
But the others were different!
They never even gave the original owner fake kindness—only malice.
"That's because you never said anything!"
Tang Jianren, who had been thrown to the ground earlier, saw his wife in distress and endured the pain as he climbed back up, trying once again to hit Tang Qingmo.
Tang Qingmo calmly took two steps back, extended the tip of his foot, and successfully tripped Tang Jianren, sending him crashing into the ground once more!
"Ahhh!!"
"As the head of the Tang family, you don't care about your son, and instead blame others for not telling you?" Tang Qingmo said coldly.
"Fine—now I've told you. So shouldn't you be preparing a new room for me, and some pocket money?"
In an instant, the entire living hall fell silent.
Tang Qingmo sneered.
"Haha! Why aren't you talking anymore? Weren't you blaming me for not bringing it up? Now that I have—don't tell me you have no intention of compensating me?"
Seeing how aggressively the host was pushing, even the system felt a bit uneasy.
After all, the original owner never once asked for a new room or pocket money, even right before leaving the family—he cut ties penniless!
Yet now, the host was actually demanding material compensation from Tang Jianren.
Would this really generate regret value?
[Tang Jianren Regret Value +100!]
Huh?
[Why!?] The system was completely confused.
Tang Jianren's gaze toward Tang Qingmo looked venomous, as if he wanted to skin him alive—
so how could regret appear?
[Because regret comes in many forms.] Tang Qingmo sneered.
[There's genuine regret for wrongdoing, self-deceptive regret like Bai Hualian's, and then there's regret born from personal loss—like Tang Jianren's.]
Because Tang Jianren had let his mouth run wild, being cornered like this made him feel regretful—
the kind of regret that thought, "If I'd known this would happen, I wouldn't have said anything."
Tang Jianren had no intention whatsoever of preparing a room or giving pocket money!
From the very beginning, he had felt nothing but disgust toward this biological son who grew up outside—
a son he viewed as no better than a rat.
