Chapter 25 : After Seeing This Today, It Turns Out the Internet Didn’t Wrong the Tang Family (Full Chapter)
"It was Tang Xianxi! He was the one who ordered me to do it!"
Zhang Ling shouted with all the strength he had left.
Now he was already an adult, and his father was finished too.
If Tang Qingmo really pursued the matter, prison would be his only fate!
As long as he exposed the person behind the scenes, there might still be a slim chance of "survival"!
"Who exactly are you? Why are you slandering Xiao Xi?!"
Tang Xuerong naturally didn't believe him and immediately stepped forward and slapped Zhang Ling.
"What I said is all true! You're the only idiot here—being used like a gun and still helping count the money!"
Zhang Ling felt humiliated, but at this point there was nothing he could do except argue angrily.
"You're lying! You're in cahoots with Tang Qingmo!"
Furious, Tang Xuerong raised her hand to slap him again.
But Zhang Ling wasn't about to be hit a second time—he shoved Tang Xuerong away with force!
"Ahhh!!"
Tang Xuerong fell flat on the ground in an ugly sprawl. Tang Xianxi and Bai Hualian hurried over to help her up.
"Fifth Sister!"
Tang Xianxi looked at Zhang Ling with sorrow.
"Classmate Zhang Ling, it's one thing to wrong me, but how could you hurt my sister?"
Bai Hualian also pointed angrily at Zhang Ling.
"It's you! You're the one who's always bullied Qingmo at school!"
"I won't let you off! I'll make sure you have no place to stand in Modu ever again!"
"Hahaha!!"
Seeing how Bai Hualian and Tang Xuerong were blinded to the truth, Zhang Ling found it utterly ridiculous.
The Zhang family was already finished—what did their threats even matter now?
"I have evidence!"
Zhang Ling immediately opened his phone.
He handed over all the records of money Tang Xianxi had given him, concert tickets, hotel buffet vouchers, and more to Principal Lin.
"These are all the things Tang Xianxi gave me over the past two months. He even said that as long as I drove Tang Qingmo crazy, he'd give me a sports car!"
Principal Lin's fingers slid rapidly across the screen.
The more he read, the more shocked he became.
In the end, he looked at Tang Xianxi with an utterly incredulous expression.
"!!!"
Tang Xianxi's face turned deathly pale, hatred surging in his heart.
Damn Zhang Ling!
He had clearly emphasized again and again that the chat records must be deleted!
Yet he never expected to be bitten back like this!
Principal Lin shook his head speechlessly and handed the phone directly to Bai Hualian.
"Madam Tang, you should take a look yourself…"
"What?"
Bai Hualian took the phone in shock. The records and conversations on it struck her like a bolt from the blue.
"How is this possible!? X-Xiao Xi, you…"
She couldn't imagine that the well-behaved, obedient son she had raised for eighteen years would bribe classmates and bully others.
And the victim was her own biological son!
[Bai Hualian Regret Value +200!]
[Bai Hualian Regret Value +200!]
Zhang Ling snorted coldly.
"It's not just me—the homeroom teacher too!"
"The homeroom teacher accepted plenty of benefits from Tang Xianxi as well. That's why he kept turning a blind eye when I bullied Tang Qingmo."
Wu Detong, who had been named, flinched and then lowered his head dejectedly.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!"
Tang Xuerong snatched the phone away at once.
Yet no matter how she scrolled, she could clearly see the money and goods Tang Xianxi had given Zhang Ling, as well as those glaring, damning messages.
"These are all photoshopped! They're fake!"
Even with the evidence right in front of her, Tang Xuerong still refused to believe that her kind and gentle Xiao Xi could do such things.
Tang Xianxi's mind raced.
He knew the contents of the phone had already proven everything.
So he could only change tactics!
"Mom, Fifth Sister—I'm sorry!"
He immediately squeezed out a few tears, his expression filled with grief.
"Xiao Xi, why did you do this?"
Bai Hualian began to feel disappointed in her adopted son.
"It's because I like you all too much!"
Tang Xianxi said sorrowfully.
"After big brother came back, I was afraid you'd hate me. I was scared every single day. That's why I lost my way for a moment…"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry, big brother!"
"Xiao Xi! How could you think like that!"
Tang Xuerong had always favored Tang Xianxi and couldn't bear to see him aggrieved. She rushed forward and hugged him.
"Whether Tang Qingmo comes back or not, you're still my little brother!"
Seeing the tears on his face, Bai Hualian's heart ached as well. After all, this was the son she had raised for eighteen years. She stepped forward and hugged him too.
"That's right, Xiao Xi. How could you doubt us? You'll always be Mom's son."
"..."
It was clearly a warm, touching scene—but everyone else in the principal's office felt nothing but extreme awkwardness.
Principal Lin & Zhang Ling & Wu Detong: ...
What kind of show was this supposed to be?
Then Bai Hualian walked up to Tang Qingmo and said sorrowfully,
"Qingmo, Xiao Xi treated you this way because he was too afraid, so…"
"Could you, for Mom's sake, forgive him just once?"
Principal Lin & Zhang Ling & Wu Detong: !!?
What the hell?!
Is she sick?!
All three of them looked toward Tang Qingmo. Though Tang Qingmo was expressionlessly playing with his phone, they couldn't help but feel sympathy for him.
"Qingmo…"
Seeing her son ignore her, Bai Hualian's tears fell again.
"Tang Qingmo, are you dead or something? Xiao Xi is already in a bad mood because of you! What attitude are you putting on?!"
Tang Xuerong continued to perform flawlessly—throwing away her brain entirely for Tang Xianxi's sake.
"He's in a bad mood, and I was bullied because of him."
Tang Qingmo put away his phone, his gaze icy.
"Do you know how long instigation carries as a sentence?"
The Tang family trio: !?
Instigation?!
"What do you mean?" Tang Xuerong shouted.
"You still want to call the police? It was just some minor trouble—aren't you fine anyway?"
Principal Lin frowned. After listening to Tang Xuerong's vicious words for so long, he finally couldn't hold back.
"Madam Tang, I never expected your family's upbringing to be so crude."
"Miss Tang, are you willing to ignore your biological brother's life just to defend a fake brother?"
Bai Hualian panicked.
"That's not it, Principal!"
"Hmph! After seeing this today, it seems the rumors online about the Tang family weren't wrong after all!"
"You—!"
Tang Xuerong wanted to curse even Principal Lin, but he was still the principal of Tang Xianxi's school.
For his future, she swallowed her rage.
At that moment, Tang Qingmo broke into a brilliant smile.
"Tang Xuerong, you're mistaken. It's not that I want to call the police—I already have."
"What!?"
Tang Xuerong, Bai Hualian, and the others were stunned.
"The timing should be about right. They're almost here~"
As his words fell, the sound of police sirens rang out from outside.
Within minutes, several police officers stormed into the principal's office.
