23 – Tangtang is framed, begins to abuse scum
Five minutes later, Tang Yingying stormed toward the lounge with a face full of rage, angrily pushing open the door.
She knew it—that bitch Tang Jiaojiao had deliberately dressed up today to provoke her, even intentionally trying to seduce her Muze brother!
On the surface, she pretended not to care, but deep down, she was clearly jealous that Yingying had found such a perfect match!
What woman wouldn’t want to marry into a wealthy family?!
Especially when Jiang Muze not only came from an excellent background but was also so handsome.
How could Tang Jiaojiao not be envious? How could she not be bitter?
Hah, she probably realized that the new man she found, aside from his good looks, couldn’t compare to her Muze brother in terms of family background, wealth, or influence. So now she couldn’t wait to come and cause trouble, trying to steal him away!
She even brazenly lured her Muze brother into the lounge for some shady business!
What, trying to copy her tricks and force the issue by making things irreversible?
Tang Jiaojiao should take a look at herself—does she even deserve it?!
Just as Tang Yingying pushed open the lounge door in a fit of rage, with words like “slut,” “bitch,” and “seductress” already rising to her throat, ready to burst out in the next second…
However, the scene before her made her swallow those words back down… nearly choking on her own saliva…
There, in the corner, Jiang Muze sat slumped, bruised and battered, trembling all over.
He didn’t even dare to lift his head, just kept muttering over and over, “Don’t hit me, please, don’t hit me…”
“I was wrong, I’ll never do it again!!”
And Tang Jiaojiao?
She disdainfully tossed aside a toilet brush she had picked up from who-knows-where, then picked up a wet wipe from the table and calmly wiped her hands.
This scene left Tang Yingying completely stunned.
She had clearly heard those girls gossiping earlier… that Jiang Muze and Tang Jiaojiao were up to something shady in the lounge… and making some strange noises…
What… what kind of shady business was this?!
This was clearly Tang Jiaojiao beating up Jiang Muze all by herself!
Could it be that those strange noises were just Jiang Muze howling in pain?
Instantly, Tang Yingying’s anger flared up again.
How dare that bitch Tang Jiaojiao hit her man!!
This was her engagement party. How could the engagement proceed with Tang Jiaojiao beating up her fiancé like this? Wouldn’t it just become a laughingstock?!
How could she tolerate her originally perfect engagement party being ruined like this by Tang Jiaojiao?!
Tang Yingying instantly charged forward, “Tang Jiaojiao, you bitch!”
As she cursed, she raised her hand to slap Tangtang.
However, Tangtang lazily lifted her gaze, her sharp eyes shooting toward Tang Yingying.
In that moment, Tang Yingying felt an inexplicable fear and instinctively wanted to step back.
But Tangtang gave her no chance.
Her slender right hand precisely grabbed Tang Yingying’s wrist, and with a slight twist, she flung her aside.
“Thud.”
Tang Yingying crashed heavily onto Jiang Muze.
“Ah!” Jiang Muze screamed again.
The weight pressing down on him was unbearable, and he instinctively pushed back, flailing his arms wildly.
Tang Yingying was shoved to the ground, her cheongsam torn, the hair accessories on her head askew, and her carefully styled hair now a mess.
Even her makeup was smeared in several places.
She looked utterly disheveled!
Tang Yingying had left the door open when she entered, and with the male and female leads missing for quite some time, everyone was searching for them.
Thus, as soon as the commotion spread, a large crowd rushed over.
Coupled with… certain individuals fanning the flames.
In no time, people kept pouring into the restroom.
“Oh my god! Muze!” Madam Jiang saw Jiang Muze huddled pitifully in the corner and immediately rushed over, frantically checking on his condition.
Jiang Muze had been beaten senseless, his mind muddled. Seeing his mother, he suddenly clung to her and burst into loud sobs.
“Mom! I want to go home! I want to go home!”
In his over twenty years of life, this was the first time he had ever been beaten like this!
It completely trampled his dignity into the ground!
Most importantly… it really hurt… so much, it felt as if his internal organs were in agony, as if the top of his skull was about to crack open, as if he might die from the pain at any moment!
He truly couldn’t bear it, couldn’t bear it anymore!
Madam Jiang comforted Jiang Muze for a while before finally calming him down. Then, she glared angrily at Tang Yingying, who was lying on the floor and clearly in a sorry state herself, and demanded furiously.
“Tang Yingying! What is going on here?! What exactly did you do to Muze!”
Naturally, Madam Jiang’s first assumption was that Tang Yingying had done something to Jiang Muze, after all, she was the only one beside him at the scene!
Seeing that Madam Jiang showed no concern for her but instead angrily questioned her, Tang Yingying was stunned.
Fortunately, Zhao Xuefen arrived as well. She helped Tang Yingying up and looked at Madam Jiang with neither humility nor arrogance. “Madam Jiang, please take a closer look. My Yingying is also injured, and her injuries are no less severe than your Muze’s. There’s no need for you to interrogate Yingying like this!”
Zhao Xuefen tidied Tang Yingying’s appearance briefly, then gave her a meaningful look, hinting as she asked, “Yingying, what happened here? I just heard someone say there were strange noises coming from the restroom a few minutes ago? But you were with me in the bathroom earlier…”
“And your injuries, and Muze’s… what exactly happened?”
Hearing Zhao Xuefen’s words and seeing her look, Tang Yingying suddenly understood!
Yes, this was the perfect opportunity to utterly ruin Tang Jiaojiao’s reputation!!
Tang Yingying immediately made up her mind, secretly pinching herself hard. Tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
Then, with an utterly pitiful and aggrieved tone, she said.
“Uncle, Auntie, I also just arrived at this restroom. As soon as I entered, my sister Jiaojiao attacked me. I don’t know what exactly happened. I was outside looking for Muze when I heard someone say that Jiaojiao and Muze were alone together in the restroom, and there were strange noises, so I hurried over…”
“You know… Muze and Jiaojiao…”
“Preposterous!” Madam Jiang immediately cut Tang Yingying off. “Our Muze never chose Tang Jiaojiao from the start! Even though the old lady likes Tang Jiaojiao, he never even looked at her properly! You should know this better than anyone! He likes you! How could he possibly be with Tang Jiaojiao…!”
“Of course I believe Brother Muze…” Tang Yingying said with tearful eyes, suddenly grabbing Jiang Muze’s hand and sobbing, “Brother Muze, I believe you would never betray me. It must be my sister… she…”
Before Jiang Muze could react, Mrs. Jiang, hearing Tang Yingying’s words, immediately shot a sharp glare at Tang Jiaojiao, who was sitting on the sofa as if nothing had happened, casually eating from the fruit platter. “You, Tang Jiaojiao! No wonder you dressed up so beautifully today! So you came here to seduce my son!!”
Hearing the name “Tang Jiaojiao,” Jiang Muze, who had remained unresponsive until now, suddenly trembled all over.
Instantly, Mrs. Jiang became even more convinced of her suspicion. She looked at Jiang Muze and asked, “Muze, tell me, is it true that Tang Jiaojiao tried to seduce you, and when she failed, she beat you up like this?”
Otherwise, why was Tang Jiaojiao completely unscathed while her son was in such a sorry state?!
It must be that her son resisted her advances, and Tang Jiaojiao, humiliated and enraged, lashed out!
Her son had been pampered since childhood, yet he was well-mannered, knowing to be courteous to girls and never laying hands on them.
And Tang Jiaojiao? A bastard daughter raised in a small family, a wild girl! She had no manners or upbringing since childhood!
Now, after failing to seduce him, she was so humiliated and enraged that she wanted to beat her precious son to death?!
What a vicious, despicable woman!
Jiang Muze trembled again, lifting his gaze to look at Mrs. Jiang. “Mom…”
“Enough, son, you don’t have to say anything! Mom already knows!”
Mrs. Jiang immediately cut him off, furious. “Today, Mom will make sure this despicable woman gives you an explanation!”
