Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!

Chapter 57: 057 monitoring adjustment! Slap in the face!

"No matter what you mean, I will never agree to let Tang Tang continue to live here," Yan Yueqing said coldly, "In a hotel outside, the owner has to take responsibility for my safety. Who would have thought that here, a guest gets slapped and is forced to apologize to the landlord? Where in the world does such reasoning exist?!"

Qin Youran played the peacemaker, "Yueqing, you’ve misunderstood, I didn’t mean to pressure Tang Tang, just thinking about Xiao Hua, she—"

"Just because Xiao Hua is sick and pitiable, everyone should give in to her?" Yan Yueqing said with disdain, "Youran, this world doesn’t work on the principle that the weakest is always right. Does being sick give you a reason to hit someone whenever you like?"

Listening to Sister Yueqing speak up for her, Tang Tang felt both touched and wronged, leaning on her shoulder, she softly covered her face with her hands and cried, like a little koala.

[Did I actually get thrilled by Yan Yueqing’s overbearing protection? Please, I’m her professional hater!]

[Qin Youran might look young, but why are her thoughts more conservative than my mom’s?]

[After all, she comes from a non-celebrity background, not that there’s anything wrong with that, but the majority of families in Hua Country do indeed educate their children this way! Things like giving way to your younger siblings and guests, basically anything good for their own kids goes undone! Qin Youran is like a microcosm of society.]

[Not the same with Yan Yueqing! She’s like our generation. When the neighbor’s little sister came to play in my house, my mom insisted I give her my beloved teddy bear. Yesterday, my daughter cried that her toy was given away to a visiting child by her grandmother, and I went to their door to get it back immediately!]

"You... you all!" Tian Xiaoe saw her firm attitude and began to wail, "Oh my God, aren’t you going to be reasonable? She just got slapped, but my daughter was cursed by her to die!"

[My native language is speechless!]

[Such a mother, exactly like that TV drama, wouldn’t she just say that the other party only lost a life, but her daughter’s soul is greatly traumatized when her daughter does something wrong in the future?]

[Speaking of frailty, Yan Wang is the genuinely frail and pitiable one, right? I have a best friend working at Compassion Hospital in City C, and she kept telling me about a child in the ICU who has had to live in the hospital since he was born, spending hundreds of thousands every month just to stay alive, so beautiful yet so pitiable! I sent her Wangwang’s video last night, and she said that’s the kid from their hospital!]

[ICU? Hundreds of thousands a month? Living in the hospital since birth? Damn, that illness sounds seriously severe!]

[My heart aches for Baby Wangwang, no wonder he was in a wheelchair the first time he appeared on camera...]

[Suddenly, I understand Yan Yueqing’s past lousy practices on the reality show. I heard the worse the character you play, the more you get paid. Maybe she’s really trying hard to earn money for her son’s treatment?]

[Hey, think about Lishui Jiangling; does Yan Yueqing really lack money?]

[Guys, you’re getting off topic! Right now, we’re discussing Song Xiaohua! I hope the show’s production team stands firm on this issue and doesn’t become the pig teammate! Yan Yueqing is holding the fort for Tang Bao, and if the production team yields for the sake of peace, I’ll be the first to disagree!]

Peace for the sake of peace?

That’s impossible!

The staff had followed Tang Tang for five periods, almost half a year’s time, and whether from a rational or emotional standpoint, they would favor Tang Tang.

Especially Cao Heng, the staff member who had just opened the door for Song Hui and his wife, had a hard time imagining how Tian Xiaoe usually treated Song Xiaoyu after witnessing the scene with the clothes.

Not to mention a stranger like Tang Tang!

Qin Youran tried to play the good person to both sides, "Sister Tian, don’t be angry, Tang Tang is known in our group for being well-behaved, it’s all a misunderstanding! Tang Tang, Sister Xiao Hua didn’t mean to hit you, let’s both apologize to each other and let this matter pass, okay?"

"Not okay," Tang Tang hadn’t expressed her position when Yan Yueqing declared chillingly, "Did you not hear what I said just now? Our Tang Tang will absolutely! Not! Apologize!"

The domineering attitude made everyone around take a sharp breath of cold air!

So brave!

Tiantian’s gaze towards Yan Yueqing suddenly filled with admiring respect.

"Yueqing, you—"

"Qin Youran, you want to play the kind-hearted Samaritan, and I have no objections. But if you’re expecting Tang Tang to take the fall, do you think I’m dead?" Yan Yueqing responded with a cool laugh, "Let me put it this way, anyone who dares to force Tang Tang to apologize today had better not blame me for not letting things slide!"

[Holy cow, that’s so freaking domineering! It’s really hard not to be moved!!!!]

[I used to think Yan Yueqing sucking up to Tang Tang was disgusting, but now I just wish she’d dote on me like that...]

[If I had Yan Yueqing as a mom, how many less injustices would I have faced as a child?]

[Temporarily putting aside my prejudices! Yueqing, I’m with you on this one!]

Tian Xiaoe, obviously unconvinced, laughed snidely, "Humph, there’s a saying about bullying through power; now I see it crystal clear! You’re just ganging up because you’ve got the numbers on your side!"

Yan Yueqing knew she was resentful at heart and also knew the weak point of people like Tian Xiaoe.

"Ten thousand yuan!"

Everyone looked at her in unison.

Yan Yueqing, holding Tang Tang, stood up straight, her index finger extended, exuding a sense of power to turn the world upside down.

She met the look of desire in Tian Xiaoe’s eyes, and spoke unhurriedly, "Go check the surveillance footage, and watch it in front of everyone. If Tang Tang really cursed Song Xiaohua, I’ll pay Song Xiaohua ten thousand yuan for every word she said!"

The audacity was infuriating!

Tian Xiaoe didn’t even bother to hold Song Xiaohua anymore; she sprang out of bed, a look of wild joy on her face, "Really? You can’t go back on your word!"

Yan Yueqing nodded, but added a condition, "However, if Tang Tang didn’t curse at her, and it was Song Xiaohua slandering, then for every word Tang Tang said, I’ll return to Song Xiaohua the same number of slaps. Do you dare to take the bet?"

Tian Xiaoe hesitated for a moment.

Qin Youran tried to intercede, "Yueqing, this isn’t very nice, is it? Slapping a child... Isn’t that going a bit too far?"

"I’m not asking for your opinion, I’m informing you." Yan Yueqing didn’t even glance at Qin Youran, and mocked Tian Xiaoe with a smirk, "Or is it that you also know full well what kind of person Song Xiaohua is?"

"My Xiao Hua is so innocent, how could she possibly be as you described?" Tian Xiaoe’s voice got louder, the more guilty she felt.

Yan Yueqing did not reply, her eyes filled with a disdainful smile.

[This is good! The drama is on! I love this kind of show!]

[Isn’t this more satisfying than those mainstream women empowerment fantasies?]

Tian Xiaoe thought for a minute. That’s ten thousand yuan a word! Though her daughter could be a bit willful, she wouldn’t lie about something like this, right? Even if she did lie, it wouldn’t matter! Tang Tang must have said something similar, they could just twist the words later!

Unable to resist the temptation of a huge sum of money, she hardened her heart and nodded, "Fine! I agree! Let’s check the surveillance footage!"

The online audience erupted!

[Quick, quick, quick, I want to see them kneeling and begging Tang Tang for mercy later!]

"Hold on!" An abrupt voice cut in.
