Cancer means death.
Zhang Meiyu believed this and naturally did not dare to swear such a venomous oath against herself.
Seeing that she couldn't win an argument with Tang Xiaomin, Zhang Meiyu changed her approach.
"Tang Xiaomin, you're disrespectful at home and disobey your parents, that's one thing. But now, in front of Elder Ye and Young Master Ye, you're still so unrestrained. What do you want to do? Cause trouble at the Ye family?"
Cause trouble, so what.
"I'm here to cause trouble at the Ye family, so what are you here for?"
They called her crazy, slandered her, and eagerly came to the Ye family to break off the engagement. Such behavior was despicable.
Just as they were about to quarrel, Tang Yiyi, who had been silent, spoke.
"Mom, my sister isn't mentally sound. Please don't argue with her anymore."
Tang Yiyi's light remark of "not mentally sound" implied that Tang Xiaomin's disobedience was the behavior of a madwoman.
Zhang Meiyu followed Tang Yiyi's words and said, "Ah... that's true, she's not mentally sound. I'm so angry with her every day that I'm almost not sound myself."
"I apologize for letting Elder Ye and Young Master Ye witness this spectacle. It's most impolite."
With this back-and-forth, Tang Xiaomin found herself cornered.
Nothing was more heartbreaking than being despised and slandered by one's own parents.
Even though Tang Xiaomin's heart was dead, it still ached faintly at this moment.
Tang Xiaomin nodded, a cold smile tugging at the corner of her lips.
"Butler Ye, I'm a bit thirsty. May I have a cup of water?"
Butler Ye said respectfully, "Of course. It was my oversight. Miss Tang, please wait a moment."
Soon, a servant brought Tang Xiaomin a cup of hot tea, about seventy percent hot.
Tang Xiaomin picked up the teacup, suddenly stood up, and walked towards Tang Yiyi, who was beside Zhang Meiyu.
Tang Yiyi was a little scared, swallowing nervously.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
Tang Xiaomin's lips curved into a cold smile. She brought the teacup to her lips to test the temperature; it was indeed a bit hot.
The next second, Tang Xiaomin directly splashed the tea onto Tang Yiyi's face.
"Ah!"
Tang Yiyi screamed in pain as she was scalded.
Zhang Meiyu stepped forward and shoved Tang Xiaomin hard, then rushed to Tang Yiyi's side, extremely anxious.
"Yiyi, what's wrong? Are you scalded?"
Tang Zhongcheng stood up and angrily rebuked Tang Xiaomin, "Xiaomin, what are you doing? What did Yiyi do wrong for you to treat your sister like this?"
"It's one thing for you to act out at home, but how can you be so crazy and senseless in front of Elder Ye and Young Master Ye? Sigh..." Sudan Novel Network
Tang Zhongcheng looked helpless and ashamed.
Tang Yiyi's tears flowed, feeling extremely wronged.
Suppressing her impulse, she said softly, "Mom, Dad, I'm fine. Please don't blame my sister, and don't argue with her anymore. I'm okay, sob..."
The family had clear divisions of labor.
Zhang Meiyu and Tang Zhongcheng were responsible for slandering her as crazy, and Tang Yiyi was responsible for being understanding and putting up with everything.
What a truly happy family scene.
Since they all said she was crazy, she would show them just how crazy she could be.
"Butler Ye, could you give me a few more cups of hot tea?"
Butler Ye watched this scene, unsure what to say. Just as he was wondering if Tang Xiaomin had gone mad, he received a look from Young Master Ye.
So, Butler Ye had his servants bring Tang Xiaomin two more cups of tea.
Seeing this, Zhang Meiyu looked at Tang Xiaomin in disbelief.
"Tang Xiaomin, what do you think you're doing?"
When dealing with villains, reasoning is useless. Only by fighting fire with fire, using sharp methods, can you shut them up.
Tang Xiaomin's expression was indifferent, her eyes seemed unfocused, devoid of emotion.
"I'm a madwoman. What do you think I'm doing?"
The next second, a cup of tea was directly splashed onto Zhang Meiyu's face.
Seeing this, Tang Zhongcheng angrily rebuked Tang Xiaomin.
"Tang Xiaomin, stop fooling around..."
Before he could finish speaking, a cup of tea was directly splashed onto Tang Zhongcheng's face.
The world... fell silent.
Tang Xiaomin said coldly, "I'm alone, with one mouth, I can't out-argue you."
"But don't think I'm easy to bully. If anyone throws mud at me, I'll throw it back, just like I did just now!"
What is a show of dominance? This is it!
If you don't strike with full force, do they really think you're a lamb to be bullied?
Zhang Meiyu burst into tears.
"Elder Ye, Tang Xiaomin has gone mad. She acts like this towards her parents at home too. She's mad!"
Tang Zhongcheng also said, "Elder Ye, Young Master Ye, we have failed to discipline our daughter properly. We've made you witness this spectacle."
Tang Yiyi lowered her head and cried continuously, saying nothing.
Elder Ye had not seen a girl like Tang Xiaomin, who was so disloyal and had such strong means, for many years.
His old eyes were not dim; he could see at a glance that the Tang Zhongcheng couple favored their adopted daughter and were unkind to their biological daughter.
After all, she was just a girl not yet twenty. It was understandable that she would have emotions and even act this way when pushed.
"You should leave for now," Elder Ye said.
With Elder Ye's words, it seemed he had seen Tang Xiaomin's behavior and was disappointed in her.
The family of three, having been splashed with water by Tang Xiaomin and left in such a mess, naturally couldn't stay any longer.
Tang Zhongcheng said, "We've made Elder Ye and Young Master Ye witness a spectacle. Let's go."
After walking a few steps, Tang Zhongcheng realized Tang Xiaomin hadn't followed and impatiently called out to her.
"Tang Xiaomin, what are you standing around for?"
At this moment, Ye Fengxing, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"Our business talk isn't finished yet. Let's continue."
This...
Tang Xiaomin had gone mad, yet they were still going to discuss business!
Could it be that Ye Fengxing didn't believe Tang Xiaomin was truly mad?
Tang Xiaomin nodded, choosing to stay. "Alright."
After all, she wasn't here today to argue with the Tang family; she was here to discuss the matter of the old city district.
Seeing this, Tang Zhongcheng quickly said, "Young Master Ye, Tang Xiaomin is not mentally sound. Let me take her home and discipline her strictly, so she doesn't cause any more trouble."
Zhang Meiyu also said, "Yes, yes. She probably forgot to take her medicine when she went out today. Sigh, it's our fault for not keeping a better eye on her, which allowed her to come to the Ye family and cause trouble. We are truly sorry."
"Tang Xiaomin, hurry up and come home with us!"
Tang Yiyi said娇滴滴, "Sister, please come home with Mom and Dad. You don't even have a driver's license. It's too dangerous for you to drive yourself."
...
These people were addicted to acting.
Did they really think everyone else was a fool and couldn't see their schemes?
These words were enough to make one's ears go numb.
Just as Tang Xiaomin was about to lash out at them, Ye Fengxing suddenly spoke.
"It's alright. After we finish talking, I'll arrange a car to send you home."
Her driving was indeed too fast and unsafe. On this point, they weren't wrong.
