Chapter 2336 - Self-inflicted Sin
Chapter 2336 Self-inflicted Sin
Her cousin had pulled her boyfriend over.
On the way from the banquet hall, her cousin had added fuel to the fire and said many bad things about Tang Wu and Lan Yue.
“You must help my mother. She’s almost being bullied. How can there be juniors like them who don’t respect their elders at all? Besides, my mother is doing this for Tang Wu’s good. If she follows a gigolo, our entire family will be laughed at. If we get married, you will lose face too…”
When her boyfriend found out that Tang Wu had seduced a man in the banquet hall and had a pretty boy protecting her, he had no good impression of her.
Her boyfriend walked over and looked at her aunt, who looked like she had been wronged. He then looked at Tang Wu and the tall man beside her.
Just as he was about to protect his girlfriend’s mother, the boyfriend froze when he saw the tall man’s face.
Why did this person look a little familiar?
“Ah Xu, you must seek justice for Auntie. They’re too much of a bully…”
Seeing that her boyfriend was stunned and did not speak, her cousin tugged his sleeve. “Brother Xu, why aren’t you saying anything?” The boyfriend met Lan Yue’s deep black eyes and an idea flashed in his mind. He suddenly remembered where he had seen Lan Yue.
In his father’s investigation. His father wanted to develop his oil business and wanted to get in touch with the Seven Stars Sect, so he got someone to investigate the Young Master of the Seven Stars Sect.
However, the Young Master of the Seven Stars Sect was rather low-key. He had only gotten the photo after finding many connections.
The young man in the photo was really handsome and unforgettable. That was why he remembered him so quickly when he saw the person standing here.
The boyfriend shook off his cousin’s hand that was pulling his sleeve, took a few steps forward, and bowed to Lan Yue.
Her boyfriend’s action stunned her cousin and aunt.
“Brother Xu, what’s wrong…”
“Shut up!” The boyfriend turned around and glared at his cousin. “This is the young master of the Seven Stars Sect. There are many industries in the world and our multinational company is not even as good as one of their subsidiary companies. How blind are you to call him a poor boy?”
Auntie and Cousin were speechless.
“No, it’s impossible. I knew him three years ago. He’s just a poor boy from the tribe. What background does he have? Ah Xu, you must have mistaken him for someone else!” Auntie said in a panic.
“We won’t!” The boyfriend glanced at his cousin. “We can’t afford to offend this person. No matter what your mother did, she asked you to apologize, so you have to apologize.”
Her cousin looked at Lan Yue. His facial features were well-defined and handsome. He was a unique existence in the entertainment industry that did not lack handsome men. It was no wonder that Tang Wu had fallen for such a man even though she had no money…
Her cousin felt terrible. She thought that the boyfriend she had found was stronger than Tang Wu, but…
Auntie was scared out of her wits. She really could not understand how a poor boy could turn things around.
While her aunt was still in a daze, her cousin had no choice but to bow and apologize to Tang Wu under the coercion of her boyfriend.
“Cousin, I’m sorry. Please forgive my mother and me for our ignorance. We promise that there won’t be a next time.”
After apologizing, her cousin pulled her aunt’s sleeve. “Mom, apologize!”
Auntie froze and did not move until Ye Sen’s scream came from the room. Auntie’s face was pale and she lowered her head to apologize. “I was wrong. I won’t frame you again.”
Tang Wu smirked. “Auntie, I hope you can keep your word. If such a thing happens again, I won’t be so easy to talk to anymore.”
Auntie’s expression changed. “Yes, yes.”
Auntie was too embarrassed to stay here and was about to pull Cousin away when Cousin suddenly shook off Auntie’s hand. Her cousin tugged at her gown and let out a sweet voice. Before anyone could react, she pounced on a male relative. That male relative was caught off guard and was hugged tightly by his cousin.
“Brother Xu, I’m so hot…” With that said, he was about to kiss her face.
When the male relative’s wife saw this, she pushed her cousin away and slapped her face. She said angrily, “I’ve always heard you and your daughter say that Tang Wu is shameless. I think the most shameless people are you and your daughter, right? How can you pounce on a man in broad daylight? You’re really unlucky to be relatives with people like you.”
The woman pulled her male relative away angrily.
Her cousin wanted to pounce on another male relative, but her aunt hugged her tightly.
Her aunt asked Ah Xu for help. Seeing this, Ah Xu was extremely disappointed in his cousin. He shook his head and strode away.
Auntie noticed that something was wrong with her cousin and pointed a trembling finger at Tang Wu. “Was it you…”
Tang Wu smirked. “You deserve it!”
Grandma looked at her aunt and cousin in disappointment. “Our family is really embarrassed by you and your daughter today!”
Tang Wu and Lan Yue pushed Grandma away.
Auntie could not stop her irrational cousin alone and wanted Mother Tang’s help. Mother Tang glanced at them and went downstairs.
Tang Wu and Lan Yue did not stay in the banquet hall for long. After informing their grandmother, they left.
Mother Tang chased downstairs and saw Tang Wu getting into a black Bentley.
She chased after him for a few steps, but the person in the car did not seem to see her and sped away. After a while, Tang Wu received a call from Mother Tang.
Mother Tang asked her to bring Lan Yue home for dinner when she had time, but Tang Wu did not agree. “Mom, if he’s not the Young Master of the Seven Stars Sect now, would you still let me bring him home for dinner?”
Before Mother Tang could say anything, Tang Wu hung up.
Tang Wu looked at the man driving and smiled at him. “I know you can’t let go of what my mother did in the past. I won’t ask you to let go. Just like how I treated your grandfather, if we don’t want to forgive some people, don’t make things difficult for ourselves!” Lan Yue freed a hand from the steering wheel and held Tang Wu’s hand tightly, humming softly.
In the next few days, Tang Wu realized that the number of times Lan Yue appeared in front of her had gradually decreased.
Every day, he would go to the kindergarten to pick up Little Candy and leave without eating dinner.
The number of times he called her was also decreasing. Every time she asked him what he was doing, he would say that he was busy.
Tang Wu complained in her best friends’ chat. “Am I not as charming as before? Is he tired of me so soon? Oh my god, he’s not even married and his attitude is different from before. I have to consider my relationship with him again!”
Bo Cixue: “Stop pretending. It’s impossible for you to leave Brother Lan now. Ever since he came back, how long has it been since you attended a best friends’ gathering?”
Nan Xun: “Even if something happens to your brother, Brother Lan won’t.”
Tang Wu: “My brother will be sad to death when he hears this. Then tell me, what’s the situation with him being indifferent to me recently?”
