Chapter 17.1 : Won’t Let Him Get in the Car? Then No One Gets In! (Part 1)
When everyone followed Aunt Wang's cries to the back of the villa, they were met with the sight of Tang Feifei lying unconscious on the lawn!
Her limbs were broken and twisted from the fall from a great height, and the blood flowing from her body had already dried—clearly, she had been lying there for quite some time.
"How could this happen?! Who did this?!" Tang Jianren roared in shock and fury.
This was the Tang residence!
Although the family's reputation had already been dragged through the mud last night, if someone had broken into their home without them even realizing it, then the last shred of dignity the Tang family had would be completely gone!
Tang Xianxi spoke as if frightened, "Dad, the place where Sister fell from… above that seems to be my room—no, it's brother's room now!"
With that single sentence, he was implying that his bedroom had been taken by Tang Qingmo last night, and subtly suggesting that Tang Feifei's fall was very likely caused by Tang Qingmo.
However, Tang Qingmo ignored the green-tea fake young master entirely and silently asked the system instead:
[System, is Tang Feifei dead?]
Falling from the third floor while already injured, with her arms and legs twisted like that—she should have been smashed to pieces no matter what!
The system replied calmly:
[Not dead. Although all four limbs are broken, her bones shattered, and she's completely paralyzed, she's still clinging to life.]
???
She's in that condition and still not dead?!
[As expected of the elder sister of the Child of Destiny…]
For the past eighteen years, no matter how brutally the original owner had been abused or beaten, no matter how much torment he endured, his vitality was like that of a cockroach—absurdly resilient!
And Tang Feifei shared the same bloodline. As long as her head wasn't severed, she could revive endlessly—borrowing another five hundred years from heaven!
"Qingmo! What is going on here? Why is your fourth sister lying beneath your room?!"
Seeing Tang Qingmo remain silent only made Tang Jianren angrier.
"Tang Family Head, you're asking the wrong person," Tang Qingmo replied irritably, pointing at the footprints on the villa's outer wall.
"These are clearly shoe prints left by someone climbing. Just compare them with Fourth Sister's shoes and you'll know."
"I also happen to know that she has a very close relationship with her beloved fake brother. Last night, the moment she came back from the hospital, she was shouting about killing me. Could it be that she tried to sneak into my room in the middle of the night and accidentally fell instead?"
As the real culprit, Tang Qingmo spoke without a trace of guilt or panic.
His words were half-truth, half-lie. Tang Feifei had indeed sneaked into his room last night—she was just thrown down by him.
Tang Jianren's face darkened instantly. He immediately ordered Aunt Wang to bring Tang Feifei's shoes over and compare them with the footprints on the wall.
With all the other servants dismissed, only Aunt Wang could do it herself.
After comparing them, the size and shape of the shoes matched the footprints perfectly.
The Tang family members: ...
So Tang Feifei really had brought this upon herself—trying to scheme and ending up sabotaging herself instead?
Tang Qingmo yawned.
"If there's nothing else, I'm heading to class. We can talk about this when I'm back."
"Your fourth sister is practically dying, and you still have the mood to go to school?!" Tang Xuerong felt even more disappointed in this cold-blooded younger brother.
Tang Qingmo waved his hand dismissively.
"What else should I do? I'm not like Second Sister with her 'miracle surgeon' reputation. Should I stay and cheer her on?"
"You…!!"
Tang Xianxi stepped forward at just the right moment, saying sorrowfully, "Brother, no matter what, Fourth Sister is still your—"
Before he could finish, Tang Qingmo cut him off.
"If you care about her that much, then you stay. I'm leaving."
Without sparing the Tang family's dark expressions another glance, Tang Qingmo turned and walked away.
Tang Xianxi: ...
"Unfilial son! Unfilial son!" Tang Jianren clutched his chest in rage as Tang Qingmo actually left.
"Husband, what should we do now?" Bai Hualian asked anxiously, staring at her daughter sprawled on the ground.
"What else can we do?" Tang Jianren sighed heavily.
"The ambulance has already been called. We'll see what the doctor says."
Tang Feifei lay motionless on the ground. If not for the faint rise and fall of her chest, one would've thought she was already dead.
Aside from Tang Aili, who was a doctor, no one dared to touch her. All they could do now was wait for the ambulance to arrive.
"Xiao Xi, you should go to school first. We'll stay here with Fourth Sister," Tang Xuerong said gently, her heart aching at Tang Xianxi's dejected expression.
Because of last night's livestream incident, she had been temporarily shelved by her company. All the work she had taken over was put on hold, leaving her with nothing to do but stay at home.
