It was a rainy night.
Mo Ting arranged for the luxury car for his mother and daughter to arrive at the hotel.
After releasing herself from the grief and having Tangning by her side, Xia Yuling looked much brighter than before. The presence of a person is determined by what is beneath the surface. For example, a kind person will appear calm and unaffected, like a Chrysanthemum flower with great elegance.
Mother and son have arrived at a 5-star hotel; a place frequented by celebrities. But they still attract everyone's attention.
Xia Yuling was a woman brave enough to expose her husband and protect her daughter, so there was an aura shining from her body that no one could ignore.
"Mom, why don't you just debut as an actress with me? See how many people have seen you," Tangning couldn't help but laugh.
"Have you forgotten how old I am? How can you joke about that?" Xia Yuling could not help but smile as she looked around, "Where is Mo Ting?"
"He has other things to deal with first. Your daughter-in-law won't get lost," Tangning finally had her mother by her side so she was happier than usual, "Don't worry, she'll arrive later. .."
"Stop making him work so hard. Otherwise, the Mo Family will be heartbroken."
"My heart is already broken," Tangning hooked her arm on her mother's arm and led her to the elevator. Then, with the guidance of the maid, they headed to the private room they had booked.
"Please pass through here. The other guests have come."
Xia Yuling regained her smile and looked ahead confidently. Seeing this, Tangning's expression also became serious.
A moment later, the door of the room opened. The first person to appear was Elder Tang who was sitting at the end of the table. He simply gripped his wand and rubbed his hand continuously over the smooth ball head. His expression was strong but not angry.
Next to him sat Tang Qinwen, leaning on his chair in a defeated position with a lifeless gaze. It seemed, he was still recovering from the events of that day.
Meanwhile, Tang Yichen and Tang Jingxuan whispered amongst themselves as Tang Xuan glared at the mother and child without blinking her eyes. His gaze was cold and sharp like a thorn...
Xia Yuling sneered and sat down with Tangning as she tried her best not to look at her husband.
"Yuling.." elder Tang cried in an old voice; it sounded empty and distant, like it was coming from the depths of a valley, "...I never imagined that you would have to keep such a big secret for so many years. You have suffered."
"Dad .. I hope you won't blame me for ruining the Tang Family's reputation. I gave a fair warning, but 'someone' doesn't control themselves, so I have no choice but to do this. After all, no one likes to be forced into a dead end..." Xia Yuling replied in a low and firm voice; she knew she had to stay strong to protect Tangning.
Elder Tang nodded. After a moment of silence, he replied, "Since the whole family is present today, let's sit down and discuss everything clearly. We have to plan what to do from now on. Yuling, you are the victim, tell me what you are doing. think and I will try my best to satisfy you ... "
"Grandfather ..." Tang Xuan cried, "Are you just going to trust that woman?"
"Right now the whole world knows that I'm your father's legal wife. Why can't you accept the truth? Tang Xuan, I've warned you before that I will make you regret."
"Yuling, don't hesitate to talk!" Elder Tang stopped Tang Xuan from speaking as he waved his hand at Xia Yuling.
"I want a divorce with Tang Qinwen. So, I just want to split our assets evenly and I want to bring with me the shares I currently hold for Tangning. Our combined shares will be equivalent to the number of fathers. Apart from this, I don't want anything else because I have also done something I should regret; I have made it difficult for the other two children to raise their heads. However, I wonder how you plan on dealing with Tang Xuan? " Xia Yuling asked in a firm and serious tone.
After hearing the word divorce, Tang Qinwen finally reacted.
Elder Tang listened to Xia Yuling's response and lowered his head carefully. After a long while, he finally replied, "Yuling, are you still angry? I'm happy to transfer the shares to you on my behalf. But, you've already spent half your life with this jerk, are you sure you want to get it? a divorce?"
Xia Yuling felt moved, but still replied firmly, "As long as Tang Xuan is home, my daughter and I won't stay here."
"I've already dismissed Tang Xuan from the position of Acting President. From now on, I will no longer let him step into the family business. Is that not enough to keep you?"
"Grandfather ..." Tang Xuan shouted as she leaped from her seat, "I am your grandson, I have the Tang Family's blood flowing through my veins!"
"You're just the daughter of a mistress," Xia Yuling used the same words Tang Xuan had once said to Tangning. "Your whereabouts are Invalid, Tang Xuan."
"If you say it like that, then Sister Two is also ..."
"Yichen's different. He is good, but you are bad! You should really thank your brothers. If it wasn't for them, I would have revealed the truth long ago and not let you enjoy years of glory." Xia Yuling smiled, "You and I know what happened to Tangning. Fortunately, Tangning was fine this time. Otherwise, I won't let you just walk away."
After saying these words, Xia Yuling looked at Elder Tang and said with a childish impulse, "Dad, if you want me to return home, it's possible. But, if I go in, Tang Xuan has to come out. He doesn't deserve to be punished, after all? Or will you continue to protect her and pamper her until she does something worse?"
"Before, the way Tangning left ..."
"...I want Tang Xuan to leave in the same way ..."
"Tangning got to where it is today without the support of the Tang Family. Since Tang Xuan thought she was so great, she had to go out into the world and give it a try. Let's see how the Big Miss of the Tang Family rises under the same conditions."
Elder Tang once again sat in deep thought. But, because she did not reject the suggestion, Tang Xuan began to panic.
"Grandfather .. You cannot think ..."
"OK," Elder Tang agreed straightforwardly. "Since the incident this time was caused by Tang Xuan, she naturally had to face the consequences. It makes sense that she was kicked out of the household."
"If you make it happen, then I'll come back. But ... Qinwen and I will solve our own problems, please don't get involved ..."
"OK, I won't do it," Elder Tang nodded.
"Grandfather. You can't be so cruel. I'm your grandson!" Tang Xuan knelt before Elder Tang in a panic, "You can't do this to me."
"Tangning faced the world alone at the age of 17. I still remember how you cheered the day she left. Now it's your turn, do you finally get scared?" Said Elder Tang. "I'm well aware of the dirty things you've done, but I've given you plenty of opportunities to change. Not only are you not aware of yourself, you keep pushing your limits."
"Tang Xuan, you are already 29 years old, not 19. If you want to be in a position of power, then you have to go out and test your abilities."
"The Tang family ... has no place for you ..."
"You even conspired against your own sister ..."
"If one day, I do something you don't like, will you also try to kill me?"
"Go..."
