Chapter 82.1 : This Is Your Retribution! (Part 1)
For Wang Mei, she had been born in some unknown village in another province.
Her family favored sons over daughters. After she finished middle school, her parents drove her to the big city to work.
After drifting through several jobs, Wang Mei was eventually hired by the Tang family as a housekeeper. Around that time, she happened to meet a certain urban man, and the two quickly fell into a passionate romance.
The man told her that as long as she married him, she would be able to obtain a household registration in Demon City—but it would require some "extra fees."
So Wang Mei handed over all the savings she had accumulated over many years, happily waiting for the man to marry her.
Unfortunately, a month later, the man ran away with all her money—and she found herself with a swollen belly…
In her despair, she also learned that the Tang family's madam was pregnant as well—and just like her, she was carrying a boy!
She couldn't help but start complaining…
Why was Bai Hualian, that woman, so blessed!?
Born into a prestigious family, doted on since childhood, loving and harmonious with her husband after marriage, having already given birth to seven daughters—and now even adding a son!
Why did she have such a good life!?
Wang Mei's thoughts began to twist, her heart filling endlessly with jealousy and resentment!
So when they gave birth to their sons around the same time, she was momentarily possessed by madness…
To be honest, over these eighteen years, she had felt regret.
She regretted whether the Tang family might one day see through Tang Xianxi's identity as a fake!
That was why she had proactively acknowledged Tang Xianxi as her son early on, giving him advice and strategies to help solidify his position within the Tang family!
At the same time, Tang Xianxi—seeking to protect his luxurious life and noble status—regularly gave her large sums of money to keep her mouth shut!
Looking at amounts of money she had never seen in her life, Wang Mei felt an overwhelming sense of relief!
Relief that she had swapped her own child with the Tang family's!
What she never expected was that even after the Tang family's real young master was recognized and brought back, she still obtained countless sums of money—and even moved into a large apartment in the city center of Demon City!
Every day she wore beautiful clothes and adorned herself with jewelry, always looking glamorous whenever she went out!
This kind of life was something she had never even dared to imagine!
So…!
Now that Tang Qingmo was telling her to turn herself in…
Wang Mei subconsciously clenched her fists, her gaze drifting uncertainly.
If she went to prison, everything she had now would turn to ashes!
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the hesitation in Wang Mei's eyes, Tang Qingmo found it extremely amusing.
"Didn't you say you've been full of regret for these eighteen years? Then why is it so hard for you to call the police right now and have them come arrest you?"
Wang Mei: "I… I…"
Tang Qingmo curled his lips into a smile.
Just as he had expected—someone as hypocritical as Wang Mei only needed a bit of pressure to have her true face completely exposed!
"That's true. You don't need to work as a housekeeper anymore, you live in such a nice place, and my family gives you money every month. It's perfectly normal that you don't want to turn yourself in."
Tang Qingmo patted Wang Mei's face.
"Tang Xianxi really is your son—he inherited your selfish bloodline perfectly."
"Wuu… wuuu…"
With her mask torn away, Wang Mei curled up in humiliation.
At this moment, she truly wished someone would come save her…
Rescue her from the hands of this devil!
But compared to those futile fantasies, Tang Qingmo's voice continued to sound.
"Oh right, the reason I came to see you today is to talk about something serious~"
"…Huh?"
Physically and mentally tortured to the brink, Wang Mei looked at Tang Qingmo in disbelief.
He came to see her… for serious business!?
