When Zhang Guo'er received the call from the court, she was completely stunned.
How was this possible?
Absolutely impossible!
After finding out that Tang Xiaomin had moved to the Central Garden Villa, she went straight to her door.
As it happened, Tang Xiaomin was home.
"Tang Xiaomin, how could the hospital's pregnancy test result be fake? How could you not be pregnant? Did you bribe the hospital?"
Even now, Zhang Guo'er insisted that Tang Xiaomin was pregnant.
Tang Xiaomin looked at the sudden appearance of Zhang Guo'er in shock, vaguely sensing something was amiss.
"Coming here in such a frenzy, weren't you the one bribing the doctor?"
"What bribe? Don't slander me. My family doesn't have money to bribe anyone right now."
"You must have faked your pregnancy on purpose to trick me, and then conveniently sued me?"
"How can you be so wicked? Are you trying to drive me to my death by doing this?"
...
A big question mark appeared in Tang Xiaomin's mind.
They say whoever stirs up trouble first is the one to blame. It was clearly Zhang Guo'er who had ruined her reputation with a fake pregnancy test.
Now that she had been exposed and was paying the price for her actions, how could Tang Xiaomin be the one trying to drive her to death?
What was in her head, perhaps just a pile of shit.
"You're overthinking it. I'm not interested in driving you to your death. Because I've never considered you a significant person."
Tang Xiaomin's indifferent attitude completely shattered Zhang Guo'er.
"Tang Xiaomin, you are trying to drive me to my death. You are the most malicious person in this world."
"May you die a horrible death!"
...
Tang Ye grew tired of listening and shook her head repeatedly.
"If you want to go crazy, get out and do it somewhere else. Don't come to my house."
Tang Ye unceremoniously pushed Zhang Guo'er out the door and slammed it shut.
The world finally became quiet.
"When we were kids, I thought she was quite cute. Now that she's grown up, she's like a mad dog, biting everyone. Having a relative like this is truly the worst luck in eight lifetimes."
"Xiaomin, don't be polite to her. Sue her fiercely. You should make her return the five hundred thousand yuan she extorted last time, with interest."
Tang Ye and Tang Xiaomin were on the same page.
The incident where Zhang Meiyu took five hundred thousand yuan to settle the matter had been bothering Tang Xiaomin.
This time, she would get it all back.
"She's always causing trouble for me. From now on, I won't let her cause any more trouble."
A cold, ruthless aura emanated from Tang Xiaomin's gaze. The whole person exuded a dangerous aura.
Looking at her current demeanor, Tang Ye couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine, fearing this Tang Xiaomin.
She seemed to have become cold and ruthless.
...
Tang Xu hobbled over, holding a cup of tea and offering it to Tang Xiaomin. He no longer relied on a crutch.
"Xiaomin, have some tea to calm your temper," he said with a smile, a smile as gentle as a spring breeze.
It was even gentler than when he used to look at Tang Yiyi.
Tang Xiaomin picked up the teacup and was about to drink when she suddenly raised her eyes and glanced at Tang Xu.
Tang Xu touched his face.
"Is there something on my face that you're looking at me like that?"
"No."
She paused, then said in a very calm tone.
"The doctor said my stomach is allergic to a certain type of medication. I've been lacking appetite lately, sometimes I vomit, and I feel drowsy all day."
"Remember to switch to a different medication next time."
...
The atmosphere in the living room was deathly silent.
No one had expected that Tang Xiaomin already knew that Tang Xu had been adding medication to the tea he gave her every day.
What was even more absurd was that she hadn't exposed him. She had always drunk it as if nothing was wrong.
This time was no exception. Tang Xiaomin picked it up to drink.
Even knowing she was allergic, she didn't refuse.
No one knew what she was thinking.
Tang Xu reached out to stop her and took the cup of tea away.
His mood at this moment was very complex.
Shame, guilt after being discovered, and past bad memories disturbed his mind.
"Don't drink it."
"You're allergic to the medication. Drinking it will only be counterproductive."
Tang Xu admitted to secretly giving Tang Xiaomin medication all along.
"You were suffering from depression during that time when you couldn't sleep. You were drinking medication for depression and sleeping pills every day. I was only concerned about your health, which is why I secretly gave you the medicine."
"Even if you blame me, for your own good, you should continue taking this medicine. I'll get you a different one tomorrow."
Tang Ye frowned and secretly gestured to Tang Xu, signaling him not to say anything more.
Tang Xiaomin's expressionless face at the moment was truly unfathomable and frightening.
"Depression, huh."
Tang Xiaomin murmured. Before this, she hadn't actually known she had depression.
"I didn't expect to suffer from such an illness one day."
Tang Xu advised her in a light tone.
"It's not a serious illness. As long as you adjust your mood and remain positive, you can recover even without medication."
Recover?
How could she recover?
She knew that Yan Jue was the cause of her illness, and that her longing for him had made her sick.
Without Yan Jue, how could she recover?
"Please prescribe the medicine for me, and give it to me directly."
This time, both Tang Xu and Tang Ye were shocked.
Not only did Tang Xiaomin not resist taking the medicine, but she even proactively accepted Tang Xu's prescription.
This behavior, so contrary to normal, seemed to indicate that she was indeed seriously ill this time.
Fortunately, she wasn't resisting and was willing to take medication. This was a good sign.
"Alright, I'll bring you the medicine first thing tomorrow morning," Tang Xu said.
Tang Xiaomin said nothing more and quietly returned to her room.
Tang Ye gave a wry smile and looked at Tang Xu.
"Her attitude towards you is very good now. Your acting pitiable plan worked very well."
"I'm her free driver every day, and she still ignores me. When it comes to winning someone's favor, you're still one step ahead."
His words were filled with sarcasm towards Tang Xu.
Tang Ye had always been inferior to Tang Xu since childhood, and now he couldn't even compete with him in winning Tang Xiaomin's favor.
The more he thought about it, the more unbalanced he felt.
"I didn't use any pity-seeking tactics. You're overthinking it," Tang Xu retorted.
"I've always felt guilty towards Xiaomin. Every time she sees me, she looks miserable and hates me to the bone. I just want her to be a little happier."
"If you want her to be happy, then jump off a cliff! Your method of winning favor is truly unique," Tang Ye scoffed.
"My clumsy brain can't come up with methods like yours. I can only be a driver, constantly at your beck and call. If we're talking about intelligence, it has to be you."
Tang Xu was angered by Tang Ye's sarcastic remarks.
"Shut up."
"I've made many mistakes, and I'm already very guilty and uneasy. We are twins, and we've grown up together since we were in the womb. Why do you think of me so poorly?"
They were the closest brothers, and now Tang Ye not only misunderstood him but also questioned him. How could he not feel hurt?
"Heh."
Tang Ye let out a sarcastic laugh.
"You're right. We've been together since we were in the womb. You can even be ruthless to your own sister, so what else can't you do?"
