It was a rainy night.
Mo Ting arranged for a limousine to take the mother and daughter to the hotel.
After Xia Yuling's sadness subsided, she was in high spirits with Tangning by her side. A person's temperament was determined by their heart. Those who were kind would appear as calm and elegant as a chrysanthemum flower.
This was a 5-star hotel, a place that was especially popular with artists. Even so, Tangning and Xia Yuling's appearance still attracted the attention of the people around them.
A woman that dared to expose her husband and a mother that was willing to protect her daughter, the light that shone from her body was eye-catching.
"Mom, you might as well debut with me. There are so many people looking at you," Tangning couldn't help but laugh.
"How old is your mother? How can you still joke around?" Xia Yuling smiled as she looked around, "Where's Mo Ting?"
"He still has other matters to attend to. Your son-in-law won't go missing!" Tangning finally won back her mother and opened her heart. "Don't worry, he'll be here soon..."
"Stop tormenting him. Otherwise, the Mo Family will be heartbroken."
"I'm the one who's heartbroken." Tangning hooked her arm around Xia Yuling's and walked to the lift. Under the guidance of a waiter, they arrived at the door of a private room.
"Please enter. The other guests have already arrived."
Xia Yuling suddenly hid her smile and looked like she was ready for battle. This made Tangning's expression turn serious as well.
Not long after, the door to the private room swung open. The first person that came into view was Elder Tang, who was sitting in the main seat. He held onto his walking stick and continuously rubbed his fingers against the smooth surface of the stick. His expression was calm and dignified.
On the other hand, Tang Qinwen was leaning back in his chair in defeat. His eyes were lifeless; it seemed, he had yet to recover from the events of the day.
Tang Yichen and Tang Jingxuan had their heads lowered as they whispered to each other. Only Tang Xuan stared unblinkingly at the couple. Her gaze was cold and piercing...
Xia Yuling scoffed as she led Tangning to their seats. She tried her best not to look at her husband.
"Yuling..." Elder Tang said in a deep voice. His voice sounded like it came from a deep valley, empty and unfamiliar. "I never expected you to keep such a big secret from me. You must have suffered all these years."
"Father … I hope you won't blame me for ruining the Tang Family's reputation. After all, I already gave them a warning, but someone didn't hold back. So, I had no choice but to do this. After all, no one wants to be forced into a desperate situation... "Xia Yuling replied calmly. She knew Tangning needed her protection.
Grandpa Sheng nodded. After a moment of silence, he said, "Since the whole family is here today, let's sit down and talk about it. We can plan for the future as soon as possible. Yuling, you're the victim. Tell me what you think first, I'll try my best to satisfy you … "
"Grandfather..." Tang Xuan cried anxiously, "You trust this woman so much?"
"Now that the entire world knows that I, Xia Yuling, am legitimate, why can't you accept this reality? Tang Xuan, I told you... I'll make you regret it. "
"Yuling, speak!" Elder Tang pushed Tang Xuan away and waved at Xia Yuling.
"I want to get a divorce from Tang Qinwen, so... I simply want to split our assets. Together with the shares that Tang Ning has in my hands, our shares combined will only be equal to yours. I don't ask for anything else. I have done something wrong to the Tang Family and made my two children unable to hold their heads up high. But, I still want to know how you plan to deal with Tang Xuan," Xia Yuling asked in a serious and strict tone.
Hearing the word 'divorce', Tang Qinwen finally reacted.
He looked at Xia Yuling in disbelief. He looked at his wife, who had suddenly become so strong...
After hearing Xia Yuling's words, Elder Tang lowered his head and remained silent for a moment. In the end, he said in a hoarse voice, "Yuling, is the anger in your heart still not gone? I can transfer the shares under my name to you. But, you and that jerk have already been together for half a lifetime. Are you really going to break up like this? "
Xia Yuling was moved, but she still replied firmly, "As long as Tang Xuan exists in the Tang Family, the two of us will not exist."
"I've already removed Tang Xuan from her position as Acting CEO. From now on, I will not allow her to enter Tang Corps again. Even so, is there no way to change the situation?"
"Grandfather..." Tang Xuan stood up in a hurry, "I am your granddaughter. I am the only one that has the Tang Family's blood flowing through my veins!"
"You are simply the child of a mistress." Xia Yuling used the same words that Tang Xuan had said to Tang Xuan in the past. "Your existence is illegal, Tang Xuan."
"If that's the case, Second Brother is also..."
"But Second Brother is kind, while you are evil! You should really thank Second Brother and Fourth Sister. Otherwise, I would have revealed the truth a long time ago. Would I have allowed you to strut around for so many years? " Xia Yuling laughed. "You and I both know what happened to Tang Ning. Luckily, nothing happened to her this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let her off so easily."
After speaking, Xia Yuling looked at Elder Tang and said stubbornly, "Father, if you want me to return to the Tang Family Home, I can. But, if I go in, Tang Xuan has to leave. She has done so many wrong things, shouldn't she be punished? Or, are you going to continue to cover up for her and allow her to make even bigger mistakes? "
"How did Tang Ning leave in the past..."
"How does Tang Xuan leave now..."
"Tangning has gotten to where she is today without relying on the Tang Family. Since Tang Xuan thinks she is a piece of cake, then she should go out and give it a try. Let's see how the Big Miss of the Tang Family will fare in the same situation."
Elder Tang once again fell into deep thought. But... because he did not reject Tang Xuan, Tang Xuan began to panic.
"Grandfather... you can't be..."
"OK," Elder Tang agreed in a straightforward manner. "Since Tang Xuan was the cause of this incident, we should make her pay the price. It wouldn't be unreasonable for her to leave the Tang Family with nothing."
"If you can do it, I can return to the Tang Family. But... Qin Wen and I will resolve our own matters. Please don't get involved..."
"I also agree," Elder Tang nodded.
"Grandfather... you can't be so cruel. I am your granddaughter!" Tang Xuan suddenly knelt down in front of Elder Tang in a panic, "You can't do this to me..."
"Tangning has been out on her own since she was 17-years-old. I remember how happy you were when she left. Now that it's your turn, are you worried?" Elder Tang asked. "It's not that I don't know about the despicable things you have done. I've already given you plenty of chances to change for the better. Yet, not only have you not realized your mistakes, you've even worsened them."
"Tang Xuan, you are already 29-years-old, not 19-years-old. If you really want to sit in a high position, then go out and rely on your own capabilities."
"The Tang Family... can't afford to keep you around..."
"You even tried to harm your own sister..."
"If one day I don't do what you want, will you kill me as well?"
"Let's go..."
