Of course, Tang Xiaomin and the others naturally wouldn't choose to walk.
Instead, they took Yan Jue's newly purchased helicopter and landed halfway up the mountain.
It was already getting dark, yet Tang Zhongcheng was still persistently performing the ritual of three bows and nine kowtows.
Tang Xiaomin had merely casually instructed Butler Wang. She truly hadn't expected Tang Zhongcheng to believe it.
Yan Jue and Tang Xiaomin's sudden arrival caused dissatisfaction among Tang's four brothers.
Tang Yu said coldly, "Tang Xiaomin, are you here to watch a joke?"
Tang Xiaomin not only came to watch a joke herself, but she also conveniently sent Tang Zhongcheng to the trending list.
Letting everyone watch his joke.
And watch the Tang family's joke.
Tang Xiaomin's lips curved into a wicked smile.
Seeing this, Tang Yu's brows furrowed tightly.
"Someone deliberately put Dad on the trending list. Tang Corporation's PR team spent a lot of effort but couldn't get it removed. Was it you?"
Besides Tang Xiaomin, Tang Yu couldn't imagine anyone else who would do such a depraved thing.
Hearing this, Tang Ye and the others all glared at Tang Xiaomin with resentful eyes.
Tang Ye cursed, "Tang Xiaomin, you even cyberbully your own father. You're not fit to be human!"
Tang Yan also cursed, "Are you f**king crazy? If you're crazy, go to the asylum, don't come out to harm people."
Tang Xu remained silent, but his expression conveyed a desire to curse them out.
...
Only Tang Zhongcheng continued to climb the steps and kowtow, not saying a word.
He appeared quite determined.
As soon as Yan Jue heard them daring to curse Tang Xiaomin, he was about to take action and send them down the mountain.
Tang Xiaomin tugged at his arm, stopping him.
She looked at Tang Yu and the others with a half-smile.
"All the unfavorable factors in the world are caused by the inadequacy of the person involved."
"If your PR were strong enough, it wouldn't have escalated to this point."
Being able to frame doing bad things as someone else's inadequacy.
Tang Yu and the others were so angered that their faces turned extremely ugly.
"So, you admit it!" Tang Ye asked.
Tang Xiaomin felt there was no need to hide anything from them.
She dared to do it and dared to admit it.
"I did it. I'm not afraid to tell you that the idea of Mr. Tang coming to Mount Tian to perform three bows and nine kowtows was also mine."
"You!!!"
Tang Yu and the others finally understood.
Tang Zhongcheng wasn't here to pray for Zhang Meiyu at all.
He had clearly been tricked by Tang Xiaomin.
Her goal was nothing more than to use the internet to thoroughly humiliate their father.
As for Tang Zhongcheng, he seemed unable to hear Tang Xiaomin's words.
He continued to kowtow and prostrate himself, appearing very devout.
Tang Xu walked a few steps to Tang Zhongcheng's side and persuaded him.
"Dad, Tang Xiaomin is deliberately deceiving you. Stop bowing and let's go home."
Tang Ye also said, "Yes, bowing like this won't achieve anything. It will only make people laugh at us."
...
However.
Tang Zhongcheng shook his head.
"Rather than go back like this and continue to watch your mother lie in the ICU, powerless."
"I would rather continue kneeling like this until the end."
"If there really are gods in this world, please, for the sake of my piety, let her wake up."
Tang Zhongcheng was determined to remain stubborn.
"Dad, Tang Xiaomin is deceiving you..."
"Dad..."
Tang Zhongcheng was obstinate and wouldn't listen to anything.
It was only then that Tang Yu understood that Tang Xiaomin's intention this time was clearly to strike at the heart.
She had exploited his father's guilt towards his mother, thus easily playing him for a fool.
The four brothers glared venomously at Tang Xiaomin.
Tang Yu said coldly, "Is this your goal?"
This time, Tang Xiaomin spoke very seriously.
"The mistake was his own, and it was he who destroyed the Tang family's originally peaceful life. Zhang Meiyu was also made critically ill by him."
"He is now kneeling here to pray for Zhang Meiyu, and I don't see anything wrong with that."
"As for you, if you still remember that Ms. Zhang is your mother, and you wish for her to wake up."
"Why not kneel with Tang Zhongcheng and declare your intentions to the gods."
"Perhaps if the gods see it, they might let Ms. Zhang live."
...
Tang Yu gritted his teeth in anger upon hearing these ridiculous words.
"Tang Xiaomin, do you think everyone else is an idiot? Who would believe your nonsense!"
...
However.
As soon as Tang Yu finished speaking.
Tang Yan suddenly emulated Tang Zhongcheng and began performing three bows and nine kowtows.
Tang Yu was shocked.
"Tang Yan, what are you doing?"
Tang Yan kowtowed, then stood up and walked forward three steps.
"She's right. If kneeling like this can move the gods and make Mom wake up, then I'm willing."
Tang Yan was the youngest son and the one who listened to Zhang Meiyu the most.
Soon, Tang Ye also joined the ranks of three bows and nine kowtows.
Tang Xu hesitated for a moment, then also joined.
Thinking of their mother lying in the ICU, at this moment, no one wanted to argue with Tang Xiaomin anymore, nor did they have the strength to.
Tang Xiaomin looked at Tang Yan and the others, then at Tang Yu.
"They've all gone to kneel, what are you still hesitating for? Don't tell me you don't want Ms. Zhang to wake up?"
Hearing this, Tang Zhongcheng and Tang Yan and the others turned their heads in unison to glance at Tang Yu.
It was just a glance, and no one said anything, continuing with their own actions.
Tang Yu's heart began to panic under their gaze.
After hesitating for a long time, he also joined them.
Tang Yu performed three loud kowtows, then said coldly to Tang Xiaomin.
"Regardless of how others in this family treat you. But Mom treated you very well."
"We are all performing three bows and nine kowtows here, why are you still standing there?"
Tang Xiaomin smiled and playfully made a face at them.
"A bunch of fools. It's your own business if you want to kneel. I'm not part of the Tang family, so why should I care?"
Everyone was speechless.
No matter how much they argued, they were a family, connected by blood, and this was a fact that could never change.
If Tang Xiaomin refused to join, no one could force her.
Given the situation, they no longer had the energy to bother with her.
Looking at the five people kneeling on the ground, Tang Xiaomin, very ungratefully, took out her phone and took pictures.
Then, she posted on Weibo.
#Tang family father and sons join forces to pray for the critically ill Ms. Zhang!#
The purpose of this Weibo post was to disgust Tang Yiyi and Li Xue.
After posting on Weibo, Tang Xiaomin linked her arm through Yan Jue's.
"Let's climb to the mountaintop and wait for them. We can also watch the sunrise tomorrow."
Yan Jue looked at the Tang family father and sons, who had been tricked by Tang Xiaomin's few words into performing three bows and nine kowtows here.
He thought to himself, they must have water in their brains to believe such nonsense.
Tang Xiaomin and Yan Jue walked past the Tang family members and soon moved ahead.
Tang Yu looked at their retreating figures and couldn't help but say.
"Tang Xiaomin is just entangled with the man beside her. That's why the Ye family broke off the engagement and implicated us."
"She seems smart usually, but who knew she also had moments of having water in her brain. Instead of marrying Ye Fengxing, she had to go and hook up with that man. I don't know what she sees in him."
