Chapter 78.2 : Deciding to Go to Wang Mei’s Place to “Cheer Himself Up” After School (Part 2)
After analyzing those words, Lu Tianren nodded in understanding.
"I understand. I'll bring Zhaozhao with me then."
As the daughter of a martial arts family, Lu Zhaozhao mostly socialized with peers from the martial world. She usually looked down on banquets held by ordinary wealthy families.
But if it was her brother bringing her along, she would probably go together with him.
As for the last invitation…
"Young Master Tang, besides me and Zhaozhao, you want to bring a media person over?"
"That's right. This time, the Liu family won't be inviting reporters, which means that no matter what happens inside, it'll all be settled privately. So…"
"I want that person to carry a hidden camera. Whatever they manage to capture can then be exposed to the public."
!?
Lu Tianren felt as if he'd been struck by lightning.
The way Tang Qingmo said this made it sound as though he already knew something major would definitely happen at the banquet!?
Seeing his shock, Tang Qingmo chuckled lightly.
"This banquet is being hosted by the Liu family, where my fiancée—at least in name—belongs."
"The relationship between her and me is terrible. There's no way they'd hold a banquet just to help us 'bond.'"
!!!
"Young Master Tang, you think your fiancée she…!?" Lu Tianren suddenly realized.
Although he didn't know much about the inner circles of wealthy families, after reading Tang Qingmo's background information yesterday, he knew that his relationship with his fiancée, Liu Ruyin, was extremely bad.
Over the past three months, Liu Ruyin had either hit or scolded him!
At a time like this, for her to obediently agree to hosting a family banquet… there must be some kind of scheme behind it!
Even if there wasn't, being cautious was the right move!
"Tianren, after school today I'm going to this place. Look into it for me."
After Lu Tianren dropped Tang Qingmo off at school, Tang Qingmo handed him a slip of paper with an address written on it.
"Yes."
Seeing that the address was in a residential area in the city center, Lu Tianren felt a bit puzzled.
Why would Tang Qingmo be going to a residential neighborhood?
Back at school, Tang Qingmo safely made his way to the classroom.
Ever since his true colors were exposed on the spot, Tang Xianxi no longer dared to cause trouble for him at school.
The homeroom teacher who had enabled him was replaced, and Tang Xianxi's lackeys had been beaten by Tang Qingmo to the point that they didn't even dare to come to school.
It could be said that life was finally peaceful!
So during class, Tang Qingmo pretended to read while secretly playing the lottery with the system.
Over the past two days, he had harvested quite a lot of regret points from Tang Feifei and Tang Xuerong—about 47,000 points!
Adding in the lottery chances gifted after cultivating skills, Tang Qingmo was just a bit short of pulling off five sets of twelve consecutive draws!
[Ding! Obtained: Extra-Large Honey Water ×1!]
[Ding! Obtained: Happiness Double-Sweet Coffee ×1!]
[Ding! Obtained: Sweet-Enough-to-Kill Milk Tea ×1!]
...
Tang Qingmo: ...
[Hey, little System, what's wrong with you?]
Why was everything he drew useless drinks!?
And the kind that were sweet enough to kill!
System: [All rewards depend entirely on the host's luck.]
Damn it!
He felt like smashing something!
Who would've thought that early in the morning, gambling would wreck his mental state!?
Unwilling to accept it, Tang Qingmo did another twelve-draw. But aside from a few Big Tonic Pills and some cold medicine, everything else was hard, dry compressed biscuits and finger biscuits!
Tang Qingmo had reached enlightenment…
He decided that after school, he would go to Wang Mei's place to "cheer himself up"!
