Chapter 98 : Liu Ruyin Hires Martial Artists to Teach Tang Qingmo a Lesson (Full Chapter)
Tang Qingmo turned his head and saw Tang Xianxi, who shouldn't have been here at all.
He was dressed in an expensive, well-fitted formal suit that made him look noble and extraordinary. Smiling at Tang Qingmo, he said,
"Brother, what are you doing out here?"
"Why aren't you inside the hall? Could it be that you know you're unwelcome, so you snuck out in embarrassment?"
Tang Qingmo looked at Tang Xianxi for several seconds, then sneered.
"Was it my so-called fiancée who brought you in?"
Tang Xianxi had been personally named by the Liu family head as someone not allowed to attend. The only way he could appear here tonight was if Liu Ruyin had brought him in.
"Brother, you know it too—how much Ruyin likes me…"
Tang Xianxi lifted his leg, intending to stroll closer to Tang Qingmo.
But Tang Qingmo raised a hand and stopped him.
"Stop. Please stay at least ten meters away from me."
"There've been a lot of news stories lately about young people faking injuries and extorting others. You look so fragile—last time, one slap from me was enough to knock you down. So it's better if we keep our distance."
"..."
Was this a roundabout way of mocking him as useless?
And with Tang Qingmo's words, Tang Xianxi couldn't help recalling his time in the hospital—those memories of being beaten alternately by Tang Qingmo's fist and palm!
His teeth clenched, his face flushing red with rage!
[Tang Xianxi Regret Value +100!]
Seeing him stop in his tracks, Tang Qingmo nodded in satisfaction.
"So you came looking for me this time…"
"Just to show off that Liu Ruyin disobeyed the Liu family head, broke the rules, and still brought you in?"
Before Tang Xianxi could respond, Liu Ruyin's voice rang out from behind.
"This is the Liu family. I don't need to ask anyone how I act or who I bring in!"
It wasn't just Liu Ruyin—Zhou Sheng and Zhou Ting were there as well, all three glaring fiercely at Tang Qingmo.
Liu Ruyin walked to Tang Xianxi's side, gazing at him affectionately.
"I want you to know—no matter what you do, you can forget about marrying me! Everything I have belongs to Xianxi!"
"Ruyin…" Tang Xianxi murmured.
Tang Qingmo raised a hand.
"Oh. You two are locked in for life—congrats."
Then he turned around and left.
"You think you can just walk away!?"
Seeing Tang Qingmo's indifferent attitude, Liu Ruyin felt as though she had punched cotton—utterly powerless!
Clap! Clap!
She clapped her hands sharply.
Seven or eight men dressed in black emerged from different directions, surrounding Tang Qingmo.
Determined not to repeat past mistakes, Liu Ruyin had even used her own savings this time, hiring a group of martial artists under the guise of security—at an exorbitant price arranged by Liu Xueye. Every one of them was at least second-rank!
So what if Tang Qingmo knew a bit of martial arts?
Facing so many martial artists, Liu Ruyin refused to believe he could escape this time!
Tang Qingmo turned to look at the black-clad fighters, then glanced in another direction.
After that, he looked at Liu Ruyin, his expression filled with apparent hurt as he said,
"Ruyin, no matter what, I'm still your legitimate fiancé—the one acknowledged by the Liu family head. Are you really going to treat me like this for the sake of a fake brother?"
"Shut up, you damn dog!" Liu Ruyin angrily pointed at Tang Qingmo.
Ever since being humiliated at the Tang family last time, she had sworn to repay Tang Qingmo a hundredfold!
And now he even dared to cling to the fiancé title to beg for mercy—utterly detestable!
"I already told you before—you're nothing but trash in the mud! So what if Dad doesn't allow Xiaoxi to come? I can bring him in myself!"
Zhou Ting chimed in smugly,
"That's right! Uncle just won't acknowledge Xianxi for now because of appearances!"
Zhou Sheng shouted loudly,
"And Ruyin would never marry a useless piece of trash like you who grew up outside for eighteen years! Being with you would only disgrace her status!"
Tang Qingmo looked utterly incredulous, stumbling backward several steps.
"But… but…"
"No matter what, I'm the one who inherited the Tang family bloodline!"
"I was switched out by Tang Xianxi's mother—that's why I ended up living outside! Ruyin…"
"Shut your mouth!" Liu Ruyin cut him off sharply.
Seeing Tang Qingmo's weakened, retreating posture, she felt it was absolutely right to have brought so many martial artists!
The resentment from her past humiliation eased considerably, replaced by a sense of triumph and dominance.
This time, she was determined to trample Tang Qingmo under her feet!
Liu Ruyin said coldly,
"You were switched by Xianxi's mother—that's your fate! You can't blame anyone else!"
"And thanks to Xianxi's mother, I got such an outstanding fiancé!"
"Unlike you—a useless piece of trash even if you carry the Tang family bloodline!"
"Garbage like you isn't even qualified to carry shoes for me and Xianxi!!"
Her voice echoed through the air…
And Tang Qingmo, struck hard by her words, staggered back two more steps, terror written all over his face.
The scene thrilled Tang Xianxi!
So Tang Qingmo really did still have feelings for Liu Ruyin!
After so long, seeing Tang Qingmo humiliated again made him feel incredibly satisfied!
But on the surface, he still put on an act of concern.
"Ruyin, don't talk to my brother like that…"
"He's already miserable enough. This is all my fault… If it weren't for my mother…"
Liu Ruyin immediately said tenderly,
"Xianxi, don't blame yourself!"
"You're just too kind. This time, I'll definitely teach Tang Qingmo a proper lesson so he never dares bully you again!"
With that, Liu Ruyin waved her arm toward the black-clad fighters.
The seven or eight tall martial artists cracked their knuckles, grinning wickedly as they advanced toward Tang Qingmo.
Seeing this, Zhou Sheng laughed viciously.
"Teach him a good lesson—just don't kill him!"
Zhou Ting added,
"Rip his mouth apart for me!"
"Ruyin, do you really have to be this ruthless?" Tang Qingmo pleaded once more.
But his begging only made Liu Ruyin feel exhilarated!
"Hmph! Since you're unwilling to give up the fiancé title, don't blame me for being merciless!"
She waved her hand coldly, and the black-clad fighters instantly leapt toward Tang Qingmo.
Then—
"Yes. That's exactly what I was thinking."
The previously weak-looking Tang Qingmo suddenly snapped his eyes open, his expression turning icy in an instant.
Liu Ruyin: "Huh?"
Boom—!
Yellow lightning crackled and flashed as it erupted from Tang Qingmo's body!
