[Liu Ruyin's Regret Value +200!]
...
The two men in black kept exposing Liu Ruyin's true face in public. Every single sentence they uttered filled her with extreme humiliation and guilty panic!
She indeed despised Tang Qingmo and had always been dissatisfied with this engagement, but in front of her father she would at least put on an act.
After all, as a daughter of a wealthy family, she understood very well that the marriage alliance between the Liu family and the Tang family could elevate the Liu family's standing in Demon City even further, and she herself could become an even more outstanding socialite!
Even though she felt that Tang Qingmo was utterly unpresentable, he was still the Tang family's real young master. Treating him like a dog that toiled obediently by her side wasn't a bad deal at all!
At worst, after the marriage she could continue stringing Tang Qingmo along while secretly getting entangled with Tang Xianxi behind his back!
But now, her actions—her disgust for Tang Qingmo and even her slander of him—were laid bare in front of everyone, including her father!
A massive surge of regret welled up from deep inside her, transforming into pure regret value!
"T-this… this…"
On the other end of the phone, after hearing the words of the two bodyguards, the Liu family head was momentarily rendered speechless.
As her father, he naturally knew that his daughter looked down on the real young master who had been lost for eighteen years. But for her to say such vicious things—this really went too far!
"Qingmo! Those two bodyguards are just spouting nonsense and lies. You mustn't believe them!"
The Liu family head was extremely uneasy, but at this point all he could do was try to smooth things over for his daughter.
However, Tang Qingmo snorted coldly, not giving him the slightest bit of face.
"What a pity, Patriarch Liu. Those words weren't fabricated by your bodyguards. I—and many others—heard them with our own ears."
"Your precious daughter called me trash, worthless mud, a dog. She said I wasn't as worthy as Tang Xianxi, that fake. She even said I stole this engagement…"
"Since that's the case, I won't take what someone loves. I'll give this marriage to Tang Xianxi instead."
Tang Qingmo's tone was calm and indifferent, and the word "give" carried an unmistakable sense of disdain—clearly showing that now, he was the one rejecting Liu Ruyin!
"Qingmo, what nonsense are you talking about?!"
The Liu family head's previously gentle voice suddenly turned sharp and agitated.
"Qingmo, Ruyin is just fooling around with Tang Xianxi. You are the true young master of the Tang family—how could that fake possibly compare to you?!"
!!?
Those words instantly drained all the color from Tang Xianxi's face.
Did this mean… the Liu family head refused to acknowledge him as the Liu family's future son-in-law!?
Before Tang Qingmo returned, this had never been his attitude…
But now…
At the side, Tang Xuerong completely lost control when she heard the Liu family head belittling Tang Xianxi, stepping forward and shouting loudly.
"Patriarch Liu! I really can't stand hearing you talk about Xiao Xi like that! Even if Xiao Xi isn't related to the Tang family by blood, he's still a young master we raised for eighteen years! How is he worse than Tang Qingmo, that idiot who came back from the countryside?!"
Whether he was the Liu family head or not didn't matter—anyone who spoke badly about Tang Xianxi would be fiercely retorted by Tang Xuerong, the love-brained fool!
But the Liu family head was an elder, and the Liu family's assets were no less than the Tang family's, so he immediately snapped back without any courtesy.
"Which junior from the Tang family is this? Saying her own biological brother is inferior to a fake—has your brain been clogged?"
"If you like Tang Xianxi so much, then do me a favor and keep him tightly leashed. Don't let him keep pestering my daughter! And pass a message to Tang Xianxi for me: I will never acknowledge him! Tell him to give up on this idea already!"
Although the Liu family head looked down on the original owner, no matter what, he was still the Tang family's real young master. Etiquette and knowledge could be cultivated later—but fake would always be fake!
Bloodline was far too important to major families!
What qualifications did a fake thing that couldn't inherit the Tang family have to marry into the Liu family!?
"You old bastard, what the hell are you say—mmph!!"
"Xuerong! Shut up, now!"
Tang Xuerong wanted to curse him out again, but Tang Ruoling quickly covered her mouth and stopped her!
Was this a joke?
If they offended the Liu family over such a dispute, the losses would far outweigh any gains!
"Dad… Daddy…"
When Liu Ruyin heard how strongly her father rejected Tang Xianxi, and how he outright denied her earlier stance, it felt like an invisible hand was repeatedly slapping her face!
Just moments ago, she had confidently declared that Tang Qingmo was mud on the ground, completely incomparable to Tang Xianxi in the heavens…
But now, her father had shattered those words!
"Ruyin, stop throwing tantrums with Qingmo already. This time, you're in the wrong. Apologize to Qingmo, and then try to get along with him properly."
