Chapter 92.2 : Using Liu Ruyin’s Hand to Ruin Tang Qingmo’s Reputation (Part 2)
Elsewhere, Tang Aili really did call Tang Jianren and truthfully recount everything that had happened.
However, instead of the scolding she had imagined Tang Jianren would unleash on Tang Qingmo, she herself was the one who got berated!
"Didn't I tell you not to provoke him!? Why won't you ever listen!?"
"B-But Dad, he ordered so many suits at once. I just couldn't stand it…"
"Shut up! Have you forgotten what I promised him?" Tang Jianren roared.
"Huh?"
"He said that whatever Xianxi had ever gotten, he would demand back double! If he wants to buy them, then let him!"
In Tang Jianren's mind, anything that could be solved with money was not a problem!
If money could keep Tang Qingmo from doing something 'stupid,' then let him spend it!
After all, the Tang family was a wealthy household—what did twenty suits amount to?
It would even earn them a reputation for "compensating" their long-lost son!
Such a simple principle—how could Tang Aili, a doctor, fail to understand it!?
Her mind truly lacked all sense of social tact!
"Dad, but—"
Tang Aili tried to say more, only to be cut off.
"Enough with the 'buts'! I'm begging you—stop provoking Tang Qingmo! You can't outtalk him, you can't beat him—do you find it fun to go pick fights with him!? At a time like this, don't cause me more trouble!"
With that, Tang Jianren hung up the phone outright.
"D-Dad…!?"
Tang Aili stared at her phone in disbelief as the call was mercilessly cut off.
At that moment, it felt as though her face had been slapped hard by an invisible hand.
She had just sworn confidently to Tang Qingmo that she'd make Tang Jianren deal with him—only to be viciously scolded herself instead!
If that little bastard Tang Qingmo found out…
No! Absolutely not!
The mere thought of being mercilessly humiliated made Tang Aili immediately pretend nothing had happened and scurry back to her room!
[Tang Aili Regret Value +200!]
[Tang Aili Regret Value +200!]
...
Yet her regret value kept surging, indirectly telling Tang Qingmo exactly what had happened—she'd been thoroughly scolded by Tang Jianren!
After that, Zhao Xuan also rejected Bai Hualian's order, and everyone in the Tang family learned that Tang Qingmo had custom-made twenty sets of formalwear.
Tang Ruoling and Tang Meixin both felt that Tang Qingmo's behavior was domineering, but due to Tang Jianren's warning, they didn't dare criticize him.
As for Bai Hualian—upon hearing that Tang Qingmo had ordered formalwear, she suddenly felt guilty for failing her duties as a mother over the past eighteen years. For the past three months, she hadn't even helped him order any clothes.
Her regret value skyrocketed!
And this time, with Tang Jianren's stern warning, Tang Xianxi no longer dared parade himself in front of Tang Qingmo.
Tang Qingmo enjoyed the peace and quiet!
After waiting several days, Zhao Xuan, working at a speed as if injected with adrenaline, finished a brand-new formal outfit. She packaged it in a blue box and personally delivered it to the Tang residence!
Seeing this, Tang Xianxi clenched his fists, his heart filled with jealousy!
If this were in the past, that new formal outfit should have belonged to him!
It was all because of Tang Qingmo—
He had openly and legitimately stolen both his place at the banquet and the formalwear meant for him!
Just wait!
This time, he would definitely use Liu Ruyin's hand to utterly ruin Tang Qingmo's reputation!
