Tang Ye was also kicked out.
Seeing this, Tang Xu felt he was no longer alone, at least Tang Ye was with him.
This made him feel a little better.
But his joy did not last long.
Tang Ye pressed his ear to the door to listen for a moment, then raised his voice and shouted into the house.
"Xiao Min, I'm Tang Ye, not Tang Xu, look clearly."
"I'm off work, just let me in."
The house was silent. Tang Ye pushed the door open again, tiptoed in, and successfully entered.
Then, he closed the door.
Tang Xu watched it all clearly.
Five minutes passed.
Ten minutes passed.
Half an hour passed.
It had been quiet since Tang Ye entered.
What did this mean?
It meant that the only person Tang Xiao Min hated was Tang Xu.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Tang Ye came out carrying several trash bags.
Tang Ye spent half an hour cleaning up.
And he didn't have to do this; it was all Tang Xu's fault.
Their eyes met, and Tang Ye began to complain.
"Thanks to you, I, a dignified idol, am now a cleaner helping you clean up your mess."
"Xiao Min doesn't want to see you. To prevent her from throwing another tantrum and breaking things, you should leave. Each time she gets angry, she smashes things worth tens of thousands. This money isn't exactly wind-blown."
Before, Tang Xu had pleaded with Zhang Meiyu many times before she agreed to bring him back to live.
Tang Xiao Min was in a bad mood then and didn't bother with Tang Xu.
Now that Tang Xu had angered Tang Xiao Min again, he naturally couldn't continue to live there.
Tang Xu left without complaint.
"I really didn't mean to. I don't know what's wrong with me, forgetting such an important thing," Tang Xu said regretfully.
"You don't need to explain, it's too late," Tang Ye said grumpily.
He stopped talking to Tang Xu and went out to throw away the trash bags.
When he returned, Tang Xu was nowhere to be seen.
After all, they were brothers, and he couldn't help but worry.
After all, he was a criminal under criminal detention. If it weren't for his serious injuries, he would have been a burden in prison and wouldn't have been temporarily released.
Forget it, he wasn't an idiot. He should still have money and should be able to take care of himself.
Tang Ye returned to the villa and immediately poured Tang Xiao Min a glass of water.
"Xiao Min, drink water to calm your anger."
Tang Xiao Min looked at Tang Ye with a hostile gaze.
At some point, Tang Ye was wearing a mask, his appearance obscured.
He was full of survival instinct.
"Put it down."
"Alright."
Tang Xiao Min sat, and Tang Ye stood with his waist slightly bent, like an ancient eunuch serving the Empress Dowager.
"Xiao Min, the floor is swept clean. Are there any other instructions?"
Tang Xiao Min glanced at Tang Ye from the corner of her eye.
"Disappear from my sight."
"Alright."
Tang Ye scurried back to his room upstairs. After closing the door, he leaned against it, pulled down his mask, and let out a long sigh.
"Whoosh... That was close. Fortunately, I was smart enough to wear a mask, or this face would have brought me disaster."
He walked to the mirror and looked at his face. It was a face that could earn a living on its looks.
Tang Ye had always been satisfied with his face, but after Tang Xiao Min's tantrum today, he actually had the idea of plastic surgery.
At least to make himself less like Tang Xu, so he wouldn't be mistaken for Tang Xu and implicated.
After leaving the Tang family, Tang Xu couldn't find a place to go for a while.
As if by instinct, he remembered the apartment he had rented for Tang Yiyi. He had rented it for a year, and it hadn't been returned since Tang Yiyi's death.
When he arrived at the rental apartment, the furnishings were the same as when he had last visited Tang Yiyi.
It had been uninhabited for more than half a year, and dust had settled, filling the air with a musty smell.
He opened the window to ventilate, and Tang Xu opened his computer to continue searching for Yan Jue.
This was all he could do now.
...
In the blink of an eye, Tang Xiao Min's twenty-first birthday arrived.
Under Zhang Meiyu's meticulous arrangement, the birthday banquet was grandly organized.
In Shanghai's most luxurious hotel, the elegantly dressed Zhang Meiyu stood anxiously at the entrance of the banquet hall.
She had sent invitations to many influential people, but very few had come.
The banquet was about to start, yet the hotel's most luxurious banquet hall was sparsely populated, feeling desolate.
"If I had known they wouldn't come, I wouldn't have booked such a large venue."
"It's so deserted. Xiao Min will be laughed at again. It's all my fault for backfiring."
Zhang Meiyu had overestimated her popularity and regretted it deeply.
Tang Yu stood beside Zhang Meiyu, a glint of cunning in his eyes.
"Mom, don't worry. Even if few people come today, we might not necessarily lose face."
"Stop comforting me. I know better than you what kind of people are in this circle."
"Xiao Min will be here soon. I hope she doesn't get angry."
At this moment, Tang Xiao Min slowly walked in from the entrance.
She was wearing the pink princess dress Zhang Meiyu had prepared for her. The strapless gown revealed her fair, jade-like shoulders, and her proud bust contrasted sharply with her slender waist.
Her figure was perfect, best described as a bombshell.
Zhang Meiyu apologetically approached Tang Xiao Min.
"Xiao Min, this is the largest and most luxurious banquet hall in the hotel. Because the place is large, it looks emptier, but it's all the same."
After saying this, Zhang Meiyu's face couldn't help but burn.
Such words were hardly convincing.
Unexpectedly, Tang Xiao Min just nodded and said nothing more.
Qian Lili and others arrived one after another, presenting gifts to Tang Xiao Min.
"Xiao Min, happy birthday."
"Xiao Min, happy birthday."
...
With her friends from school, Tang Xiao Min's mood improved.
Lu Sisi also arrived and presented a beautifully wrapped small box.
"Xiao Min, happy birthday. This is a small gift I prepared for you. I hope you like it."
Lu Sisi held the gift with both hands and handed it to Tang Xiao Min, lowering her head and not daring to look at her.
Tang Xiao Min was too beautiful tonight, and Lu Sisi couldn't help but want to stare at her. It was rude, so she forced herself to lower her head.
As a result, Lu Sisi looked stiff and timid, completely lacking confidence.
Tang Xiao Min hadn't expected Lu Sisi to come.
"Thank you."
She accepted Lu Sisi's gift.
Shu Ya looked around and quietly asked Tang Xiao Min by her ear.
"Xiao Min, where is Tang Ye? Hasn't he arrived yet?"
Shu Ya had recently been infatuated with Tang Ye and had asked Tang Xiao Min about his whereabouts more than once.
Tang Xiao Min was not stingy with information and told her everything.
"He should be here soon."
"Oh."
"Xiao Min, is what I'm wearing today okay?"
"It's fine."
