Tangning never expected things to turn out this way. But, as long as her brother wasn't bullied, everything was fine.
She didn't know why, but she trusted Xu Qingyan from the bottom of her heart. She felt that Xu Qingyan was the key that could protect Tang Jingxuan; the key to a safe castle.
...
Perhaps it was because they were old classmates, but as soon as they left Hyatt Regency, they chatted for quite some time. They even exchanged contact details. In the end, Tang Jingxuan even offered to drive Xu Qingyan home.
"No need. My house isn't too far away. Plus, I drove my own car here."
"Tomorrow, you need to do me a big favor. So, it's only right that I take you home today."
Xu Qingyan had never been a reserved person. Seeing that Tang Jingxuan was sincere, she did not reject him as she boarded his sports car. However, in that moment of absentmindedness, Tang Jingxuan suddenly thought of Song Yanshu, who had always sat in this seat.
"What's wrong?" Xu Qingyan asked.
"Nothing," Tang Jingxuan replied as he pulled himself together.
"Don't tell me you're thinking of a woman?" Xu Qingyan immediately exposed Tang Jingxuan's lie. But, she felt that it was rude, so she placed her hands under her chin and made an extremely ugly gesture, "Am I prettier than I am?"
Tang Jingxuan let out a laugh, "You're still the same as before."
"Actually, I prefer to wear jeans and sportswear. But, over the years, I've been forced to dress like a lady." After speaking, Xu Qingyan tore her dress apart and tied it together. "This feels a lot more comfortable."
Tang Jingxuan continued to smile, especially when he saw Xu Qingyan's relaxed expression. It was hard to find someone that made him feel comfortable in life.
"Let's go. Sit tight."
Not long after, the couple arrived at the entrance of the Xu Household. After thanking Tang Jingxuan, Xu Qingyan pushed open the door and stepped out of the car. The couple had already agreed on a time to meet the next day, so they did not exchange much pleasantries. However, just as Tang Jingxuan was about to drive home, he noticed Xu Qingyan's handbag was left on the side of the car.
...
It had been a long time since Xu Qingyan had acted so presumptuously. She never imagined that she would run into Father Xu and Ye Lan as soon as she returned home. As soon as Father Xu saw her torn dress, his expression darkened, "Who told you to dress like a delinquent? Xu Qingyan, don't you know that you're the heiress of a wealthy family? Wandering around like a nightclub lady every day, are you deliberately trying to embarrass me? "
Xu Qingyan's face turned pale. She glanced at Ye Lan, who was standing behind Father Xu. Needless to say, her every move had been exposed by this vixen.
"Do you still care about the rules of the family?" Father Xu grabbed onto Xu Qingyan's arm and shook it violently.
"It hurts..." Xu Qingyan cried out as her expression turned serious, "Apart from hitting me, what else can you do?"
"You still dare to talk back …"
…
Tang Jingxuan never imagined that he would see such a scene after entering the Xu family. Papa Xu was completely disregarding his daughter's feelings, and was actually punching and kicking her, even if he was kicking her in places that were hard to see. No wonder she kept rubbing her lower back in the car.
Tang Jingxuan originally wanted to barge in, but when he thought about Xu Qingyan's fearless expression, he froze in place and stopped right in front of the door.
He knew that Xu Qingyan was stubborn and didn't want anyone to see her in this state. So, he did not barge in. Of course, this was only after he confirmed that Papa Xu had stopped hitting her.
Because he had been born into the Tang Family, he had never been taught a lesson by his own parents.
So, when he saw Father Xu's vicious expression, he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Was this how he was treating his own daughter?
That night, after returning home, Tang Jingxuan thought about Xu Qingyan's beaten expression and immediately pulled out his phone, "Little Monkey, I won't be going tomorrow."
"Why? I've already picked out my outfit, "Xu Qingyan replied.
Idiot, doesn't it hurt?
"Err..."
"If it's a man, come pick me up tomorrow morning... Do you know how smug that vixen at home is?" It wasn't the first time that Ye Lan had teased Xu Qingyan, saying that no one would ever want her. Plus, Xu Qingyan's personality was indeed flawed; every man she dated didn't last long. So, as time went by, she got used to being single. But, this didn't mean that she didn't take Ye Lan's words to heart.
Actually, Tang Jingxuan knew better than anyone that Xu Qingyan was a typical outwardly strong but inwardly weak person.
As he thought about how Ye Lan had teased Xu Qingyan, Tang Jingxuan did not continue. He simply held onto his phone and smiled.
He understood better than anyone how it felt to have a vicious woman in the family. Even though Tang Xuan had already been taught a lesson by Tangning...
At least the Tang Family had Tangning...
But, who else did the Xu Family have? There was only Father Xu, who bullied his own daughter every day.
In order to help his old classmate vent her anger, Tang Jingxuan woke up early in the morning. Dressed in a dark blue retro handmade suit and a dark green coat, he also drove his rarely used blue Maybach from the garage. Most importantly, along the way, he even bought a bouquet of elegant champagne roses.
8am. Tang Jingxuan arrived at the entrance of the Xu Household. The person to open the door was Ye Lan. As soon as she saw Tang Jingxuan, she exclaimed in surprise, "Luo Xing?"
"Excuse me, may I ask if Miss Xu is home? I am here to pick her up... "
Ye Lan looked at Tang Jingxuan's handsome and elegant demeanor, so she couldn't help but take a few extra glances at him. After all, she was still young and everyone loved beauty.
"She's not home..."
"But, I gave her a phone call and she said she was at home," Tang Jingxuan directly exposed Ye Lan.
"Since that's the case, please come in. I'll help you call her."
"No need..." Xu Qingyan's voice suddenly sounded from behind the couple. "We'll be heading out then, stepmother."
At that moment, Ye Lan's face turned frighteningly red. Simply because Xu Qingyan had called her stepmother.
More importantly, Ye Lan was filled with jealousy. How could Xu Qingyan find such a young and handsome man, while she had to serve the old man?
"So, she is the woman that remarried your father," Tang Jingxuan looked at Ye Lan playfully. Tang Jingxuan looked Ye Lan up and down playfully. He did not give her any face at all. "As expected, she can only be a second wife. After all, normal men wouldn't have such bad taste."
"Let's go. We shouldn't waste any more time," Xu Qingyan walked past Ye Lan and arrived in front of Tang Jingxuan.
Tang Jingxuan wrapped his arm around Xu Qingyan's waist and turned her around, "Be careful, I'll open the door for you."
