Chapter 77.1 : So It Really Is True—Without Comparison, There Is No Harm? (Part 1)
Tang Xianxi clenched his teeth, his palm unconsciously tightening.
Although he had long prepared himself mentally, actually hearing Tang Jianren planning a wedding for him and Tang Feifei still filled him with extreme resentment and humiliation.
He was supposed to inherit the Tang family as the rightful successor, and at the same time become the Tang family's prized son-in-law of the Liu family, gaining control over the wealth of both families!
But now…
Tang Xianxi shot a resentful glare at Tang Qingmo.
If not for him…
If not for Tang Qingmo deliberately calling the Liu family head and threatening them with a breakup…
The one still engaged to Liu Ruyin would be him!
Damn it!
"Qingmo, you'll attend the banquet, right?" Tang Jianren had been paying close attention to Tang Qingmo, so he didn't notice the fleeting hatred on Tang Xianxi's face.
At that moment, the system spoke at just the right time in his mind:
[Host, I've found out that the Liu family head is planning to do something "big" on the night of the banquet!]
[Hmm?]
Listening to the system talk about this so-called "big event," Tang Qingmo couldn't help but sneer.
[Seriously? He actually dares to seek death like that?]
System: [It's true! The system guarantees it with its integrity!]
[If that's the case, then I definitely have to go…]
"Qingmo?" Tang Jianren called.
After finishing his porridge, Tang Qingmo picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth, then asked calmly,
"I'd like to ask—will the Liu family be inviting the media that night?"
?
Tang Jianren didn't understand why he was asking this, but still replied,
"I've only heard that he'll be inviting some powerful and influential families. There are no plans to invite reporters."
"So that's how it is." Tang Qingmo nodded.
"..."
So… was Tang Qingmo asking all this because he didn't want to go?
Just as Tang Jianren was mentally preparing himself for a fierce verbal confrontation, the other party suddenly agreed.
"I'll go that night."
"You agreed?" Tang Jianren couldn't believe it.
He had already prepared himself to argue with Tang Qingmo for "three hundred rounds," yet Tang Qingmo agreed so readily?
Tang Qingmo said indifferently,
"I can attend, but you have to agree to one condition."
"What condition?" Tang Jianren frowned.
Sure enough—agreeing so easily had been a lie. He was going to propose some impossible demand to force—
"Give me three invitation cards."
Tang Jianren: ???
"Invitation cards?"
"That's right."
"That's it? Just that?"
Based on what he'd learned about Tang Qingmo these past few days, would he really make such a simple request?!
Tang Qingmo took a sip of soy milk.
"Why not? If you want to raise the difficulty, I don't mind. Then add another one million."
"…I'll give you everything, but you must attend that day!"
To prevent any unexpected trouble, Tang Jianren was willing to agree to anything!
"I already have a few invitations on hand. Nanny Wang, go to my study and bring them over!"
These were given by the Liu family head last night when he contacted him—just in case they were needed. He could always get more if necessary.
Still, he didn't quite understand why Tang Qingmo specifically needed invitation cards.
"Why do you need these? If you want to invite friends, you can just bring them in directly."
Invitations were usually for unfamiliar families or business partners.
As long as someone had a good relationship with the Tang or Liu families, they could report their arrival, and the butler would let them in.
Tang Qingmo let out a cold laugh.
"It's nothing. Just to avoid someone saying my guests aren't worthy of stepping into the Liu family, and then having them kicked out without my knowledge."
