In an instant, all sorts of scrutinizing gazes fell upon Tang Mingxi —some curious, some mocking, and some simply looking forward to a good show.
Chapter 47 Reunion
The rich second-generation in Ningcheng are the most opportunistic. The news of the Tang Family's trouble spread throughout the entire circle on the same day. Tang Mingxi used to have some superficial friends, but after the incident, he lost even those.
Second Young Master Tang stayed at home for almost half a year, and not a single person asked him to go out.
Tang Mingxi himself didn't take it seriously, after all, even his love was made of plastic, let alone his friendship:)
He came to Chen Jiaxin's birthday party alone today. Tang Mingxi, who is usually surrounded by admirers, seemed particularly lonely today.
He found a sofa and sat down alone, slowly sipping a glass of orange juice.
Many of them ridiculed him and fawned over the powerful while belittling the weak.
"Is what happened with Tang Mingxi true or false? Wasn't it said that he filed for divorce? How could he have been dumped by a man?"
" The Tang Family says that he was the one who filed for divorce. If he really did file for divorce, then why has he been crying at home for half a year?"
Tang Mingxi:...
Brother, could you guys plot this in private?
Is it really appropriate to speak so loudly next to the person involved?
Do you need me to contact Dong Qing to prepare some lines for you two, so you can announce the start of the show to the people of the whole country?
Also, stop spreading rumors, who was crying their eyes out?:)
"You're right. Tang Mingxi is so proud; she definitely won't tell the truth if she's dumped by a man."
"Who told him to act like a peacock, looking down on everyone? Now that her husband has run away, the Tang Family is half-dead because of him. I think it's all his retribution."
After the two finished their whispered conversation, the topic shifted back to Liu Yan.
Compared to him, a down-on-his-luck rich kid, the Liu Family is now enjoying great influence in Ningcheng.
Liu Yan immediately became the most sought-after figure in their circle.
"Compared to that good-for-nothing Tang Mingxi, Liu Yan is definitely more capable."
"What else does Tang Mingxi have besides her face? Liu Yan, on the other hand, is a proper Ivy League graduate."
Tang Mingxi felt ashamed.
To be honest, I actually got into Harvard on my own merit.
"I heard that Liu Yan will be attending this Financial Summit with his team?"
"He was given special attention and training as soon as he returned to the country, unlike Tang Mingxi, who was spoiled rotten by his older brother."
"Hilarious! Would Tang Yun dare let him keep an eye on Mingheng? He can't even keep an eye on his own man."
"It wasn't a loss of over a billion, hahaha..."
"Snap--"
A crisp slap interrupted the slander in the corner.
The woman who had been gossiping about Tang Mingxi had tears in her eyes. She suddenly raised her head, revealing a clear handprint on her face.
Wang Min wore a black Chanel off-the-shoulder spring haute couture dress with a slit that reached her upper thigh. Her long, white legs were clad in 12-centimeter stiletto heels studded with diamonds, making it seem as if she could stomp a hole in the floor. This instantly boosted her height to 1.75 meters, completely overwhelming the little bitch in terms of presence.
" Wang Min! Are you crazy?!"
"I think you're the one who's sick. Is your mouth rotten? How can you talk so foully? Didn't your mother teach you anything about upbringing?"
Wang Min looked down at her, her dark lipstick making her look very intimidating.
She disdainfully pulled out a wet wipe, delicately wiped her fingertips, and tossed it onto the table, seemingly disgusted by the hand that had touched the little bitch's face.
The other person was so angry that their face turned pale and then red.
"What happened?" Chen Jiaxin finally Shanshan and tried to smooth things over.
Wang Min took the opportunity to link arms with Tang Mingxi, and said sarcastically, "I thought you, Young Master Chen, were so forgetful that you even forgot your ears at home. Are you unable to hear anyone stirring up trouble or what?"
"Haven't seen you doing charity work for a while now, Mr. Chen? And now even some third-rate internet celebrity can crash your birthday party?"
When Chen Jiaxin saw that it was Wang Min, he immediately thought that something bad was going to happen.
Tang Mingxi has a bad temper, and Wang Min is just as bad. The two of them together could smash his shop to pieces.
He quickly chuckled and said, "Why are you throwing such a tantrum as soon as you arrive? Who has offended our young lady?"
Wang Min flipped through it very harshly.
He rolled his eyes. "Why don't you ask them?"
Her outburst brought the entire birthday party to a halt, with all eyes focused on Tang Mingxi.
Wang Min modestly sought credit, asking in a low voice, "How was it? Was I handsome just now?"
Tang Mingxi: "Why are you wearing such high heels? Aren't you afraid of twisting your ankle?"
"Of course! Who wears sneakers when they're out having a fight? I knew these little bitches would talk back to you like that, so I immediately changed into my combat boots. I'm going to overpower these little sluts with my presence."
"You came all this way just to start a fight?"
Wang Min muttered, "I'm here to back you up. Did you see those two little bitches just now? I get so angry just looking at their faces. I don't know who it was before who kept calling him 'Second Young Master.' If we don't teach those kinds of people a lesson, they'll dare to step on your head and act like idiots!"
As Wang Min thought about it, she felt sad.
Her baby used to be such a spoiled and willful person, but ever since that scumbag Ye Heng left, he's never left the house and lives like a little widow.
I finally managed to get out of the way to attend a banquet, and now I'm being bullied by this slut!
Wang Min just couldn't swallow this insult.
"We didn't say anything, but she slapped my best friend right away. She's just taking advantage of Lili's gentle nature and easygoing personality, which makes us not want to argue with her."
Lili's best friend complained to Chen Jiaxin in a coquettish voice.
Chen Jiaxin's heart softened for a moment when he heard the beautiful woman's coquettish manner.
Considering that Tang Mingxi is no longer as popular as before, perhaps it's best to let this matter drop?
Chen Jiaxin said with a forced smile, "Sister Minmin, Second Young Master, it's all my fault. I didn't think of everyone. Today is my birthday. How about you let it go for my sake?"
"Forget it?" Tang Mingxi asked with interest, "When have you ever seen me consult a fortune teller with anyone?"
In fact, Tang Mingxi originally intended not to make a fuss about it.
But Wang Min stood up for him, so if he didn't do something in return, it would be disrespectful to Wang Min.
Nice! That's it!
Wang Min Min's sassy agreement perfectly portrayed the despicable nature of a villainous supporting character. "I'm saying, Chen Jiaxin, you don't need to turn on us so quickly just because you're so eager to find a backer, do you? The Tang Family is temporarily out of power, but everyone has their day. You've gone too far now, aren't you afraid of running into ghosts in the future?"
"If you won't give Jiaxin face, can't you at least give me some?"
The situation was at a stalemate when Liu Yan, smiling, spoke up from the end of the long table.
"No wonder Chen Jiaxin was so arrogant today, turns out he found Liu Yan." Wang Min whispered disdainfully, "He's not as pretty as our Little Xi at all, and he even dresses like Little Xi."
Wang Min deliberately spoke the last sentence loudly and with obvious disdain, "A poor imitation!"
Everyone on both sides of the long table heard it, and Liu Yan's lips curled into a smile.
Tang Mingxi looked Liu Yan up and down and realized that she actually remembered this person.
Of course, I hadn't seen him before; I had seen Liu Yan's name in the original novel.
Although Tang Mingxi is a scumbag in the original novel, as Ye Heng's first wife, despite her evil nature, Tang Mingxi is still considered the most beautiful woman in the entire book's world because she cannot diminish the male lead's prestige.
Both the Tang Family and Liu Family are long-established financial groups in Ningcheng. Old Master Tang and Old Master Liu Family were old friends. The Tang Family started their fortune in real estate, as did the Liu Family.
The old man had two sons
