Tang Xiaomin truly suspected that Tang Yiyi had cast some sort of spell on Tang Zhongcheng.
Previously, she had hidden his medicine, almost leading to his death.
Later, so many incidents occurred, and the entire family had lost hope for Tang Yiyi. Su Dan novel network.
Yet, Tang Zhongcheng could still let bygones be bygones and tolerate her.
Even Zhang Meiyu, who couldn't distinguish right from wrong, and Tang Ye, that idiot, had come to their senses.
Only Tang Zhongcheng.
She really wanted to pry open Tang Zhongcheng's brain and see what kind of thought process was so bizarre.
Tang Zhongcheng looked at Tang Yiyi, then at Tang Xiaomin, and sighed.
"Xiaomin, Yiyi is a few months younger than you. She's still immature, so please be more accommodating. We can't always be at loggerheads like this when we're family. Besides, she already knows she was wrong."
"Furthermore, you didn't let her off the hook either. You posted their rumored relationship online, and I didn't say anything to you. Let's just take it easy."
What the hell!
Tang Xiaomin's worldview had already shattered. Now, Tang Zhongcheng's words were clearly adding insult to injury.
"Heh..."
Tang Xiaomin was so angry she chuckled.
"Is Tang Yiyi your adopted daughter or your mother? You favor her so much, you don't even dote on your own mother like this!"
Damn it!
"Tang Xiaomin, don't go too far!"
"Don't think you can be so arrogant just because you have a betrothal with the Ye family. Whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad. Be careful you don't end up in your own trap, and one day Ye Fengxing might not want you!"
This hit the nail on the head.
Tang Xiaomin actually wished Ye Fengxing would loathe her so they could break off the engagement cleanly.
Suddenly, Tang Xiaomin thought of something, and the anger that had just flared up instantly extinguished.
Tang Xiaomin looked at Tang Yiyi, her eyes lighting up.
Deng deng deng!!!
She ran back upstairs, took out the betrothal gifts and contract from her bag, and placed them before Tang Zhongcheng.
"I know you've been longing for me to break off the engagement with the Ye family to fulfill Tang Yiyi's wish. I'm not one to go back on my word."
"The betrothal contract and gifts are here. If you have the guts, you go and break it off for me yourself, and I will absolutely cooperate with you."
This...
Tang Zhongcheng and Tang Yiyi's eyes lit up, staring in disbelief at Tang Xiaomin and the betrothal contract and gifts.
This was the marriage Tang Yiyi had longed for and dreamed of.
They had pressured Tang Xiaomin multiple times, even deliberately spreading rumors that she was crazy...
She had refused to go, and now she was willing?
It all felt like a dream.
The happiest person was undoubtedly Tang Yiyi; she finally had a glimmer of hope.
Tang Yiyi cast an excited glance at Tang Zhongcheng, as if every cell in her body was screaming: Dad, help me quickly! Help me!
Tang Zhongcheng was also surprised by Tang Xiaomin's actions and asked in disbelief, "Are you really willing to break off the engagement?"
"But you refused to go before. Why are you suddenly willing now? What exactly do you want?"
Tang Zhongcheng did not believe this was a godsend.
None of the things Tang Xiaomin had done recently were simple.
When she was ruthless, she didn't hesitate to expose her own brother.
However, Tang Yiyi couldn't wait any longer.
"Dad, Sister has voluntarily agreed. Let's not hesitate anymore and go to the Ye family now to discuss breaking off the engagement."
Tang Yiyi was afraid Tang Xiaomin would change her mind at any moment and didn't want to delay any further.
Tang Zhongcheng didn't know what to say about Tang Yiyi's impulsive reaction.
Regardless of Tang Xiaomin's intentions, this matter had to be handled with caution.
They couldn't be fooled by Tang Xiaomin again, only to backfire.
Tang Zhongcheng said, "Since you're willing to break off the engagement, then all right, I'll keep your betrothal contract and gifts for safekeeping."
"Furthermore, going to break off the engagement so rashly might make the Ye family uncomfortable. I need to think this through carefully before making a decision."
With that, Tang Zhongcheng really put away the betrothal contract and gifts.
Clearly, Tang Xiaomin was his biological daughter.
Yet, he unhesitatingly and happily agreed to Tang Xiaomin breaking off the engagement, without any guilt towards her.
What else could be said about such a person?
The happiest was Tang Yiyi. If she hadn't had a shoulder injury, she would probably have jumped up and cheered.
By evening, this matter somehow reached Zhang Meiyu's ears.
Without a word, Zhang Meiyu rushed to the study and gave Tang Zhongcheng a severe scolding.
"Tang Zhongcheng, how could you have designs on Xiaomin's marriage? Return her betrothal contract and gifts!"
Tang Zhongcheng was somewhat intimidated by Zhang Meiyu, as she controlled the entire Tang family.
Tang Zhongcheng explained, "Xiaomin willingly gave them to me. She also agreed to break off the engagement herself. You can ask her if you don't believe me."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Meiyu became even more furious, spitting fire from all seven orifices.
She lunged at Tang Zhongcheng, raining blows upon him.
"You scumbag, you must have forced her! I'm not done with you!"
Zhang Meiyu went mad, fighting Tang Zhongcheng recklessly in the study.
Butler Wang couldn't dissuade her and quickly called the whole family.
Tang Yu and Tang Ye held back Zhang Meiyu, preventing her from continuing her frenzy.
"Mom, if you have something to say, say it nicely. Don't resort to violence," Tang Yu pleaded.
Zhang Meiyu panted heavily, glaring venomously at Tang Zhongcheng.
"Scumbag, I've had enough of you for a long time!"
"Why don't you just die!"
...
Tang Zhongcheng's face was scratched by Zhang Meiyu, making him look very disheveled.
Facing Zhang Meiyu's scolding, although he was also indignant, he could only retort furiously.
"I told you it was Xiaomin's own willingness to break off the engagement with the Ye family. You hit me without understanding the situation. I think you're the one who's gone mad!"
Tang Zhongcheng's affair with Xue Yi had caused Zhang Meiyu to swallow all her grievances for the sake of her reputation.
She suppressed her emotions daily. Now, if Tang Zhongcheng did anything to displease her, she had to seize the opportunity to beat him and vent her anger.
"Tang Zhongcheng, what right do you have to decide Xiaomin's marriage? Is it Tang Yiyi who's been instigating you again?"
"I'll kick her out of the Tang family right now!"
Zhang Meiyu was furious, extending her rage to Tang Yiyi.
Tang Yiyi, standing outside the door and hearing Zhang Meiyu's words, was terrified and didn't know what to do.
Just as she was about to defend herself, Tang Xiaomin slowly walked over.
"What's all the commotion?" she asked impatiently.
Tang Zhongcheng seemed to have found a savior.
"Xiaomin, quickly tell your mother that you're willing to break off the engagement yourself, and I didn't force you. Tell her quickly. Otherwise, she'll go crazy and blame me."
Looking at Zhang Meiyu's furious state and Tang Zhongcheng's scratched face.
Pfft...
Tang Xiaomin couldn't help but laugh.
Dogs fighting dogs, it's so entertaining.
The broken engagement was just a spark; what truly made Zhang Meiyu lash out at Tang Zhongcheng was something else.
The matter of Xue Yi was like an active volcano in the Tang family, erupting from time to time.
Opportunities like this, where both Tang Zhongcheng and Zhang Meiyu suffered in silence, were rare. Tang Xiaomin naturally wouldn't let them pass.
