Chapter 863: The Higher You Climb, The Worse You Fall
At this moment, a young man and woman were standing in the corner of a banquet hall. The others did not know who these two people were, but the Tang family knew them very well. The smile on Tang Ruge’s face gradually disappeared, but she quickly recovered her gentle smile when facing the camera.
“Back then, my two cousins left home willfully and refused to return to the Tang family for so many years. Now, they’ve probably realized how good the Tang family is and want to come back. Mom, I still have to go on stage later. Go tell Grandpa not to be angry. No matter what, my cousins are still descendants of the Tang family.”
Hearing Tang Ruge’s words, everyone seemed to understand something. It turned out that these two were the children of the deceased Tang Yan and his wife.
Back then, after Tang Yan and his wife died, the siblings were not sad at all. They even had a falling out with the Tang family over the inheritance. In the end, the two of them ran away from home. Old Master Tang said that he would cut ties with the siblings completely.
Rumor had it that Old Master Tang had always doted on his two grandchildren and looked forward to their return. Unfortunately, the siblings were really heartless. Even when Old Master Tang was seriously ill, they never went home to visit him.
Now that they heard that Tang Ruge had won the gold award for Planet Music Festival, they rushed over. It seemed that they wanted to compete with Tang Ruge for the position of heir.
How shameless!
Tang Ruge looked at everyone’s disdainful expressions with a proud expression. After so many years, the siblings were still so stupid. They still dared to come to the Tang family’s territory? Weren’t they afraid of drowning in gossip?
Tang Ruge shook her head helplessly and said gently, “Please don’t blame my cousins. They’re of the Tang family’s bloodline. Back then, they did something wrong when they were young, but as long as they’re willing to come back, we’ll welcome them.”
Everyone could not help but sigh. “They’re all descendants of the Tang family, but why are the children of the Tang family’s eldest son so different from Tang Ruge?!”
“These siblings are really heartless! They didn’t even care about the death of their parents. I heard that Tang Yan and his wife’s funeral was handled by Tang Dawei and Tang Ruge.”
“Unfilial children! How can they still have the cheek to come back?!”
Tang Ruge wanted to stop everyone from reprimanding the two, but the more she explained, the angrier everyone became.
Madam Tang tapped Tang Ruge’s forehead affectionately. “You’re too kind. You always think of others. You don’t have to worry about the siblings. Just prepare for the award ceremony!”
With that, Madam Tang looked at the siblings. A trace of viciousness flashed past her eyes as she said in a low voice, “You heartless things! You still want to compete with Ruge for the position of heir? You overestimate yourselves!”
Everyone looked at the siblings with disdain. Mu Ling was so angry that she was fuming. She was about to go forward and demand an explanation when she was stopped by Mu Ming.
“Mu Ling, don’t be rash. The higher you climb, the worse you’ll fall. Tang Ruge may be glorious now, but Black Tide will arrive soon.”
Mu Ling suppressed the anger in her heart and found a seat with Mu Ling in a remote corner. They already had evidence of the Tang family’s crime. Mu Ling could not control her emotions. “They’re the ones who did something wrong. What right do they have to criticize us?”
Mu Ming’s gaze was cold as he clenched his fists.
What right did they have? Their parents just did not want to be associated with the Tang family. They just did not want to be in the human trafficking business but were killed by the Tang family.
After their parents died, they were chased out of the house and had to live on the streets. They even had to endure the infamy of being unfilial. Now that their parents were mentioned again, everyone in the Tang family did not feel guilty at all.
It had been seven years. The Tang family had already gotten everything they wanted, but they were still doing such heartless deals behind everyone’s backs. Were they really not afraid that the Tang family would be destroyed the day the truth was revealed?
Mu Ming took a deep breath and gradually calmed down. He held his sister’s hand tightly and comforted her softly, saying, “Don’t worry, they’ll definitely pay the price for what they’ve done.”
Mu Ling gritted her teeth and looked at Tang Ruge and the others. Anger burned in her heart.
Suddenly, her phone rang. She looked down and saw that it was a message from Black Tide. She immediately beamed as if she had never been so eager to wait for someone’s news.
[I’ll be right there, but there’s something else I need your help with.]
Mu Ling looked up at Mu Ming. “Brother, Black Tide said that some of the kidnapped women were already sold. She wants Dark Net and Stars to work together and try to find them.”
