“Han Mei.” Tang Shu took a step away in disdain. The perfume on this old woman was too pungent. “After all, you’re my father’s wife in name now. If you’re threatened by others, you’ll hurriedly give the daughter left behind by the first wife to your so-called business partner. Do you think the other party will laugh their heads off if they hear about this? If my father loses face because of this, do you think he’ll still protect you?”

Tang Shu glanced at Sung Wen coldly. “Who do you think you’re threatening? No matter what, I’m the eldest daughter of the Tang family on the surface. You openly asked me to go with you and do whatever you want with me. Aren’t you slapping my father’s face? I think you’re the ones who don’t want to continue working with the Tang family, right?”

“Don’t accuse me!” Sung Wen was furious. “If you hadn’t injured me first, why would I be here? Could it be that according to you, I can be injured for the sake of the business between the two families?”

Tang Shu sneered. “Sung Wen, if you want me to apologize, show me the evidence. You can drag me into the police station and get someone to investigate why there’s such a big spider in my desk. I want to know where this thing came from.”

“You…” Sung Wen’s face turned pale. Damn it, why did he not know that the usually taciturn Tang Shu was so eloquent?

He looked at Gu Zheng pleadingly and grabbed her arm. His voice was trembling slightly. “Mom, look at her.”

“Also.” Tang Shu looked up with a cold and mocking gaze. “Sung Wen, let me tell you the truth. Before yesterday, I couldn’t remember who you were at all. I’ve always been honest and don’t like to make friends. Why do you seem to be very familiar with me?”

She sized up Sung Wen with interest. “But speaking of which, you should have a good relationship with my sister, right? After all, you just defended her. Last night, she slandered me for hitting her. Today, you came to complain to the teacher. It’s strange. I don’t know how I offended my sister, but she actually colluded with outsiders to deal with me.”

“No, it has nothing to do with Yuan Yuan. Mom, don’t listen to her!” Sung Wen looked at Gu Zheng’s hand in a daze and said with a sobbing tone, “Mom, I was injured by this vicious girl. How can I get married in the future? You only have one son, and I’m the only heir of the Sung family!”

Gu Zheng tapped his forehead. “Shut up. Do you think your mother is a fool or that I’m deaf and blind? Do you think I don’t know about you and that little girl from the Tang family?”

At this moment, Gu Zheng did not have the time to pursue Tang Shu’s vicious methods. She turned around and pointed at Han Mei angrily. “The good daughter you raised instigated my son to do such a thing. Are you using my son as a tool? Where’s Tang Yuan? Get her here!”

“Madam Gu, don’t listen to her nonsense. Yuan Yuan is the most obedient and sensible. Perhaps your son saw that Yuan Yuan was bullied and was angry, so…”

“Alright, now you’re in a hurry to push all the blame to my son. Don’t tell me that your daughter isn’t responsible at all?” Gu Zheng was so angry that she laughed. The instigator still wanted to clear her name? Dream on!

“Sung Wen, listen carefully. You’re rushing to curry favor with her, but she has no intention of protecting you. If you still want some face, stay away from Tang Yuan in the future. If you dare to get involved again, I won’t let you off! At most, I’ll have another child with your father. The Sung family doesn’t want a useless son like you.”

“Mom! Tang Shu was the one who harmed me. I’m innocent.” Sung Wen cried and grabbed Gu Zheng’s hand. He was no longer as arrogant as before.

At the end of the day, he was just an idiot who relied on his family’s power to intimidate others. Otherwise, he would not have been able to do something like stuffing spiders into someone’s desk.

Gu Zheng was not in the mood to care about her disappointing son. She turned to look at Tang Shu sternly. “Sung Wen played a trick on you first. He’s in the wrong, but you’re so ruthless at such a young age. Let me remind you kindly. If you’re too stubborn, you’ll break easily. Aren’t you afraid of retribution?”

Tang Shu raised her eyebrows. If there was really retribution for the people she had killed and the crimes she had committed, she would have died thousand times over.

Tang Shu was not afraid of retribution. She was only afraid that it would come too late, and those people would still be able to live freely!

“Don’t worry about me, Auntie.” Tang Shu’s gloomy gaze seemed to come from the abyss of hell. She stared straight at Sung Wen, her gaze slowly moving down between his legs. “This has just begun.”
