Chapter 96: Chapter 96

Aunt Liu looked at Tang Su in horror, then raised her head to glance at Ye Tian, with eyes that clearly conveyed an accusatory question - was it you who got our young lady into this state?

" Aunt Liu, Manager Tang just felt upset and drank a little too much red wine. Hurry up and prepare some hangover soup for her. She’ll be fine after a sleep."

"Oh, okay. Miss? Miss? Miss..."

"Aunt Liu, what’s going on? What happened... What a strong smell of alcohol!"

Damn it! Ye Tian knew trouble was coming as soon as he saw Chen Pingyue coming down the stairs. This woman, with a mouth as sharp as a machine gun, was sure to bring no good news.

Perhaps truly feeling unwell, Tang Su’s complexion began to turn ugly, and Ye Tian noticed her earlobes starting to turn pale - a sign she was about to vomit.

"Aunt Liu, please hurry, Manager Tang might vomit."

"Shut up! Is this your place to speak? You’re just a security guard, yet you pretend to be some noble son. You really have no shame! Tang Su getting drunk like this, you’re clearly involved. I’ve always said those who run nightclubs are no good," Chen Pingyue, who came down from the stairs, was wearing a red qipao; Tang Su lay in Aunt Liu’s arms with eyes closed, apparently having passed out.

"Miss Tang of the Tang family getting drunk late at night and even coming back with a strange security guard, and not decently dressed at that, she’s really not afraid of giving people something to gossip about..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Get lost!"

A furious shout came from upstairs, it was Tang Guoyao, dressed in pajamas, he seemed to have been asleep and had to get up again.

"Susu just got back, give it a rest. If you keep making a fuss, will this house still have the semblance of a home? You’re the one making us a laughingstock! What are you glaring at, you still want to..."

"Tang Guoyao, you’re so proud of yourself, aren’t you? When this girl wasn’t here, you were droning on and on about Susu like you’re nagging about your own daughter. Now that your daughter is back, hugging and embracing her, you just shove me aside, is that right?"

"Bastard!"

Tang Guoyao with fury soaring to the sky took three steps in quick succession down the stairs, the veins on his neck bulged due to anger, as thick as fingers. Chen Pingyue, wearing the qipao, was like a small boat in a hurricane, shaky and unstable.

"Go ahead, hit me! You hit me! Tang Guoyao, ever since I married into your Tang family, I’ve been nothing but mistreated. Put your hand over your heart and ask yourself, have you treated me right? Have you!"

Facing the raging Tang Guoyao, Chen Pingyue didn’t back down an inch. Even though Tang Guoyao had raised his palm, under the barrage of questions, that trembling hand never fell.

Tang Su in Aunt Liu’s arms had her eyes closed, but Ye Tian could clearly see her delicate eyebrows furrow slightly.

"Alright, let’s go upstairs and sleep. Aunt Liu, go make a bowl of hangover soup for Susu..."

"So much trouble just upon coming home, just like her ill-fated mother, such a nuisance."

A casual remark always had the power to stir the deepest pain within the heart. Tang Su suddenly opened her eyes, eyes brimming with uncontrollable tears. This was the second time she had cried tonight.

"Ye Tian."

Hmm? Ye Tian saw Tang Su struggling to stand up from Aunt Liu’s embrace and hurried over to help her. But he was unexpectedly blocked by Chen Pingyue.

"Men and women should not touch each other; understand? She is Tan Family’s future daughter-in-law, let today’s matter pass, but if you don’t want to attract disdainful glances on her in the future, stay away from her, and don’t... Hey, what are you doing?"

Tang Su pushed away Chen Pingyue who was in front of her, "Ye Tian, slap her."

"You little bastard! You really are an ungrateful wolf cub! To think that you still want to hit me, I want to see if you dare, come on, hit me, hit me! Go on and try!"

Chen Pingyue became enraged upon hearing Tang Su’s indifferent words. With Tang Guoqing not at home, she usually swaggered around. When had she ever been shouted at to be slapped? Her anger, fueled by menopausal mood swings, made her face snarling as she approached Tang Su, spouting foul language from her mouth.

Tang Guoyao saw the situation escalating and wanted to hurry Chen Pingyue upstairs to sleep, making the scene all the more chaotic, and Chen Pingyue’s vitriolic words were like rapid machine-gun fire.

"Tang Su, you actually want to hit me? I have treated you well normally. The first time you got your period, when your secretary father ignored you, weren’t you following me around calling me Second Aunt and asking me for sanitary pads? I was the one who washed your underwear for you, and now, you want to hit me... Don’t pull me, today I must set this straight with this little wolf cub, why would he want to hit me..."

Are these even humans! Ye Tian did not know how many more people like Chen Pingyue there were in this family, but he understood why Tang Su would rather leave this place than stay another minute, and why she chose to run a nightclub that was a disgrace relative to the family status. This was hatred.

Tang Guoyao had no way to deal with this madwoman, so he could only let her scream and curse louder, "Ungrateful wolf cub, unteachable hawk-bird, Tang Su, you and your short-lived mother are the same, sooner or later, you will bring misfortune upon others, I’m telling you this for your own..."

"Slap!" A slap resounded.

Without the need for Tang Su’s command, it was Ye Tian who struck the blow.

With bloodshot eyes, Ye Tian’s slap was fierce, echoing throughout the living room. Tang Su hurriedly pushed Aunt Liu away and hugged Ye Tian. Seeing him like this, Tang Su suddenly thought of the fiend with the buzz cut who had forcefully broken someone’s arm.

However, Tang Su did not expect to be pushed away by Ye Tian, "Get away from me, I can’t stand such despicable women!"

"Slap!" Another slap landed on Chen Pingyue’s face.

The night ended with two slaps.

The 70th birthday of the old master was important, nobody dared to be reckless on this crucial moment, especially when on that evening Tang Guoqing rushed back. Chen Pingyue’s cheeks bore the marks of those slaps, but they had to be temporarily set aside. However, she etched that grudge firmly onto the forefront of Ye Tian’s mind.

In Tianhe City, the Tang Family mansion was festively adorned with lanterns and streamers.

As the city’s Party Secretary, Tang Guoqing’s face was not something ordinary people could compare with, but precisely because of this, the celebration was much smaller in scale compared to those of businessmen’s families. Party principles stood firm, and this was also a taboo.

By noon, those who were supposed to come had almost all arrived. The vast living room had been cleared to make enough space for the birthday banquet.
