Chapter 32 : “When the sky falls, you’ll be the one holding it up — thick-skinned enough.” (Full Chapter)
"Idiot."
Tang Qingmo sidestepped Tang Xianxi's punch, reached out and grabbed him hard by the front of his hair, then swung his other fist down.
Bang!!
"Ahhh!!"
The sudden punch landed squarely on Tang Xianxi's cheek, instantly causing one side of his face to swell red.
[Tang Xianxi Regret Value +200!]
"Love? What era are you living in, still babbling about love? Has your cerebellum atrophied or something?"
Smack!!
After striking one side of his face, Tang Qingmo backhanded him across the other cheek.
"Ahhh!!"
[Tang Xianxi Regret Value +200!]
Then the punches and slaps began repeating in a loop—left and right, over and over!
Bang—!!
Smack—!!
[Tang Xianxi Regret Value +200!]
"If love actually mattered, then noble families wouldn't need political marriages. Who inherits the assets wouldn't matter, and they wouldn't even need to have children. What—are they just bored out of their minds?"
Bang—smack—!!
"Ah! No… Tang Qingmo, you bastard—ahhh!"
[Tang Xianxi Regret Value +200!]
"Relax. You're the bigger bastard."
Fists and slaps alternated relentlessly, loud impacts echoing nonstop through the corridor.
Combined with the constant electronic beeping of the system in his mind, it formed a bizarre kind of "music" in Tang Qingmo's ears!
"You know you're a fake, yet you still cling on and refuse to leave. When the sky falls someday, you'll be the one holding it up. Thick skin, huh."
Smack!!
"Ah!"
[Tang Xianxi Regret Value +200!]
Bang!!
"Ahhh!!"
[Tang Xianxi Regret Value +200!]
Smack!!
…
A massive amount of regret points poured in, and the system's excited voice rang out in his mind:
[Ohhh! Host! You're amazing!]
[Every time you punch or slap him, you collect regret points!]
[Quick! Don't stop! Come on—hit harder!]
Tang Qingmo: [You're this unhinged and it makes things very difficult for me.]
Bang—!!
[Tang Xianxi Regret Value +200!]
After another punch, Tang Xianxi's regret value rose again.
At this point, his face was so swollen and bruised it was nearly unrecognizable.
Enduring the pain, Tang Xianxi stammered through clenched teeth as he glared at Tang Qingmo.
"Y-you think… if you do this to me… my sisters will let you off…?"
"Tough bastard." Tang Qingmo lifted his leg and kicked straight into Tang Xianxi's stomach.
"Ahhh!!"
Tang Xianxi was sent rolling across the floor twice, before Tang Qingmo stomped viciously onto his back.
[Tang Xianxi Regret Value +200!]
"So what if they don't let me off? Beat me and humiliate me like before? But can they still do that now?" Tang Qingmo looked down at him from above.
"Y-you…!!" Tang Xianxi turned his head, seeing the satisfied look in Tang Qingmo's eyes, gritting his teeth as he tried to fight back.
But he couldn't win.
Damn it!
Why did he suddenly lose his mind and provoke Tang Qingmo!?
Now he'd gotten himself brutally beaten!
[Tang Xianxi Regret Value +300!]
"Ahhh!! Tang Qingmo, what are you doing?!"
Tang Xuerong's shrill scream came from behind.
When Tang Xianxi hadn't returned after five minutes, she'd grown worried and came out to check on him.
Instead, the moment she opened the door, she saw Tang Xianxi lying on the ground with Tang Qingmo stepping on him.
"Tang Qingmo!! How dare you treat Xiao Xi like this!!" Tang Xuerong completely lost control and rushed forward, raising her hand to slap him.
Her palm missed as Tang Qingmo stepped back—and then he raised his hand and slapped her hard in return.
Smack—!!
[Tang Xuerong Regret Value +200!]
System: [So satisfying!!]
"Y-you… you hit me…" Tang Xuerong stared at Tang Qingmo in disbelief.
"Someone rushed up begging to get slapped—so I obliged~" Tang Qingmo waved his hand casually and sneered.
"Ah!? Xiao Xi!"
"What happened?!"
Drawn by Tang Xuerong's screams, the rest of the Tang family rushed out—only to witness Tang Qingmo stepping on Tang Xianxi!
Bai Hualian burst into tears again.
"Qingmo, how could you treat Xiao Xi like this? He's your younger brother too…"
Tang Qingmo smiled faintly.
"Because you're biased, my dear mother."
Bai Hualian: !!!
[Bai Hualian Regret Value +200!]
"Tang Qingmo, you're far too vicious!" Tang Aili gritted her teeth again.
Tang Ruoling tried to speak as well, but Tang Qingmo cut her off.
"Please, stop being broken records already. You're not tired, but I'm annoyed!" Tang Qingmo kicked Tang Xianxi hard in the waist again.
"Ahhh!!"
Everyone: "Xiao Xi!!"
"And Tang Family Head—it's 9:30 now. There are two and a half hours left until tomorrow. If you don't give me that fifteen million, I'll do something even more vicious and completely destroy your Tang family." Smile.
Tang Jianren was stunned.
"Y-you… you…!!"
Tang Qingmo waved his hand and turned to leave.
"Then I'll be off. You all continue loving each other~"
Ignoring the Tang family's reactions, Tang Qingmo walked out of the hospital.
Although it looked like many things had happened, in reality, this was only Tang Qingmo's second day since transmigrating.
Tomorrow was the weekend—school was out, and he had other things to take care of!
[Host, where are you going?] the system asked, noticing he wasn't heading toward the Tang residence.
[Tomorrow, Zhang Ling's death and Zhang Teng's arrest will hit the headlines. So while I'm at it, I'll go deal with the other classmates who bullied the original owner. Give me their home addresses.]
Although Zhang Ling had already been dealt with, according to the original owner's memories, there were still seven or eight classmates at school who had bullied him…
Some had taken benefits from Tang Xianxi. Others just followed the crowd for fun.
Even if their actions weren't as extreme as Zhang Ling's, they had still caused significant physical and psychological damage to the original owner!
So, calculated by accumulated harm—
Breaking one or two of their arms or legs should still be reasonable…
