Chapter 92.1 : Using Liu Ruyin’s Hand to Ruin Tang Qingmo’s Reputation (Part 1)
"What!? Twenty sets!?"
This time, Tang Aili was truly shocked.
Because she didn't attend banquets often, she ordered at most two custom-made gowns a year. Even Tang Xianxi, the family favorite, only ordered four to five a year.
And Tang Qingmo was actually ordering twenty!?
How did he dare!?
Yet Tang Qingmo remained calm, unaffected by Tang Aili's agitation.
"I understand. Just manage it however you see fit over the next six months. Submit the expenses directly to the Tang family for reimbursement."
"Alright, I'll open the invoice for you right now…"
"Wait!"
Tang Aili stepped forward, intending to snatch the invoice booklet from Zhao Xuan's hands—but at that moment, Lu Tianren stepped up and extended his arm to block her.
"Young Master Lu, this is our Tang family's private matter!" Tang Aili said angrily.
This Lu Tianren had interfered with her again and again!
But he was the young master of the Lu family—and a martial artist. She didn't dare touch him at all!
"I am currently Young Master Tang's bodyguard, and I suspect you intend to harm him," Lu Tianren said coldly, showing her no courtesy whatsoever.
"You—! I just want to take the invoice book from Zhao Xuan!" Tang Aili clenched her fists tightly, unable to step forward any further.
Lu Tianren frowned.
"Then please wait until Miss Zhao finishes issuing the invoice."
The unspoken message was clear: he was Tang Qingmo's personal bodyguard. If she made any further moves, he wouldn't show mercy.
"This is outrageous! I'm going to tell Father!" Tang Aili was so furious she felt like stomping her feet on the spot.
Tang Qingmo, however, looked at her the way one would look at a clown.
"Go ahead. You can tell the Tang family head everything that happened today. But…"
"As the Tang family's legitimate young master, I've been back in the family for quite some time now—and yet I don't even have a single decent formal outfit. Now that I'm finally ordering twenty sets, my own sister tries to stop me. Meanwhile, the fake young master can order four to five sets every year…"
"If this gets out, I wonder how many trending topics the Tang family will dominate again~"
Tang Aili: "!!?"
Trending topics…
The moment those words were mentioned, her brows knit together once more…
Lu Tianren remained expressionless, but inwardly he was filled with disdain.
Ordering twenty sets of formalwear at once might seem excessive, but considering that Tang Qingmo had only been acknowledged and brought back after eighteen years, even if the Tang family gave him the most precious gifts in the world, it would still be justified!
Yet the Tang family didn't treat him as one of their own at all—and even forbade him from using the family's money. That was utterly unreasonable!
"In any case, I will tell Father. Just you wait!"
After delivering what she believed to be a fierce threat, Tang Aili turned and left without looking back.
Only after watching her disappear did Zhao Xuan finally breathe a genuine sigh of relief.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Tang. I was too hasty…" She hadn't expected Tang Aili to be so concerned about Tang Qingmo buying formalwear.
While ordering twenty sets at once wasn't cheap, Tang Qingmo had never ordered any formalwear before. For a wealthy family like the Tangs, it should've been acceptable…
After all, the Tang family head, Madam Tang, and the seven sisters each ordered one or two sets every year, while Tang Xianxi ordered four to five annually!
Tang Qingmo was merely making up for eighteen years' worth of formal outfits…
"Don't mind her. She's under too much work pressure and just needed someone to vent on," Tang Qingmo said indifferently.
"You don't need to take her to heart. Just focus on making my suits well. If I'm satisfied, I'll give you extra compensation."
"Yes! I will!" Zhao Xuan felt deeply moved.
This Tang family young master was truly a good person!
Unlike his sisters, who were demanding and nitpicky!
And most importantly—he was incredibly generous!
