Chapter 81.2 : He Actually Softened Toward a Human Trafficker!? (Part 2)
"I was framed by the fake young master at home, abused and humiliated by my own biological family—yet this woman, the very one who caused my life tragedy… she gets money and a comfortable life!"
"Lu Tianren, do you still feel soft-hearted toward her now?"
"I… I…!!"
Under Tang Qingmo's questioning, Lu Tianren's mind went completely blank, unable to think at all.
At this very moment, he no longer felt any sympathy for Wang Mei. Instead, his heart was filled with overwhelming regret!
Just because he had seen her weak and pitiful appearance, he had judged her to be a "victim" and hoped Tang Qingmo would spare her…
Never did he imagine that she was the true culprit behind everything!
Wave after wave of regret surged out of Lu Tianren's body—so much that it practically made the system drool!
[Ahhh!! So much regret value!! I really want to collect it!!]
Because in the original plot Lu Tianren's relationship with the original host only reached the level of "family" and "brothers" after Lu Zhaozhao entered the harem, there was currently no way to harvest his regret value.
Watching so much power slip away, the system felt like clutching its head and crying!
[It's rare for the host to make Lu Tianren feel guilty…]
The system couldn't help but admire Tang Qingmo's methods!
In such a short time, he had completely overturned Lu Tianren's mindset!
Lu Tianren now spoke extremely carefully.
"I'm sorry… I'm sorry, Young Master Tang. I didn't know. I really didn't know this woman was your—"
He didn't even know how to phrase things without hurting Tang Qingmo.
And he had actually sympathized with such a kidnapper earlier—his brain must have been kicked by a donkey!
"It's fine. You didn't know at first," Tang Qingmo said deliberately with a sighing tone, causing Lu Tianren's guilt to deepen again.
But the next second, his voice turned icy cold.
"Do you know, Tianren? This woman is best at pretending to be pitiful. And she passed this skill on to her son. That's why so many people get deceived by their false appearances."
Tang Qingmo crouched down, grabbed Wang Mei's hair, and yanked her face upward!
"You can think independently—that already makes me very happy."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Qingmo slapped her across the face.
Pa!
"Ah! I'm sorry… I'm sorry, Young Master… please spare me!!"
[Wang Mei Regret Value +500!]
[Wang Mei Regret Value +500!]
[Wang Mei Regret Value +500!]
...
Spare you? What thick skin you have!
Lu Tianren no longer looked at Wang Mei with sympathy as she was slapped. Instead, he felt that someone like her deserved it even if she were beaten!
She looked miserable and weak—but because of her, Tang Qingmo had endured eighteen years of misery!
Pa—!
Tang Qingmo slapped her on the other side, making her face swell red on both cheeks, perfectly symmetrical.
"Do you really think I'll spare you? You criminal who destroyed my life."
Tang Qingmo kicked Wang Mei hard in the waist, causing her to break out in cold sweat as tears poured from the corners of her eyes!
"I'm sorry… I was wrong…"
She really was wrong…
"I shouldn't have acted on selfish desires! These past eighteen years I've lived in guilt too! I wanted Young Master Tang's forgiveness!"
[Wang Mei Regret Value +500!]
[Wang Mei Regret Value +500!]
...
Wang Mei's desperate cries and the regret value echoing in her mind might make it seem as though she truly felt remorse, but Tang Qingmo only sneered.
"If you truly regret it, then please go turn yourself in to the police right now. Or, for the sake of the police officers, I might spare your life."
!!?
Those words instantly made Wang Mei hesitate…
