Chapter 18 Switch Fiancée (Please Vote and Add to Favorites)

"Even your name belongs to my poor, prematurely-deceased daughter!"

Madam Tang walked out, and Tang Wanqiu realized just what she had done.

Father Tang stood at the door, disapprovingly looking at Madam Tang.

"How can you speak like this?"

Father Tang disliked Madam Tang's domineering nature, but Madam Tang coldly looked at him, "If it weren't for Wen Wenqing's grave mistake back then, you might have divorced me to marry her."

Madam Tang's cool voice left Father Tang speechless, as he just angrily looked at her.

"And do you really think I know nothing? Wen Wenqing wanted to send the child to the orphanage, but you took the initiative to bring the child home after finding out, and raised her under the name of my daughter! Do you really think I'm a fool?"

Madam Tang slapped Father Tang across the face.

"Our Zheng family isn't insignificant either. For all these years, we've preserved your peaceful life here. How ungratefully disloyal do you have to be, to trample my dignity underfoot for the child of another woman?"

Father Tang angrily looked at Madam Tang, "How dare you?"

Madam Tang laughed coldly, "Why wouldn't I dare? If I ever find out you're making Xiaxia suffer for an outsider again, I definitely won't let you off! After all, Xiaxia is your daughter!"

Madam Tang pushed past Father Tang to find Tang Chuxia.

Father Tang watched his wife's retreating figure, his fists clenched, but in the end, he said nothing.

He also knew that this time Tang Wanqiu had gone too far, nearly costing Tang Chuxia her life.

No matter how unforgettable his youthful romance was, he was no longer at an age to act rashly, and naturally, he wouldn't let his so-called ex-fiancée destroy his current family.

Unless he wanted to go through what those who are sent for re-education experience.

Taking a deep breath, Father Tang eventually followed Madam Tang to see Tang Chuxia, after all, he was worried about her too.

Tang Chuxia, after listening to Madam Tang's account of what had happened, looked up at Father Tang and clicked her tongue in surprise.

Her nominal father actually turned out to be quite the romantic, which was truly unexpected for Tang Chuxia.

But what she couldn't understand was, "Dad, I'm really curious about one thing. Why did her mom call off the engagement with you back then?"

After all, she was someone about to be jilted herself and was naturally concerned if it was for the same reasons.

Madam Tang sneered, "What else could it be for? It's naturally because his ex-fiancée looked down on him, despising his lack of capability, which couldn't compare to the status of that girl's father."

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?

This truly ran in the mother and daughter.

Tang Chuxia drew out a long "Oh," prompting Father Tang to become enraged with embarrassment.

"Can't you mother and daughter show some decency?"

After Father Tang shouted, Tang Chuxia laughed, "Dad, be careful not to shoot yourself in the foot. Mother doesn't just have one daughter, she also has four sons! What do you think would happen if Second Brother and Third Brother found out about what you have done?"

She didn't mention the eldest brother because Tang Jianguo was very stable, and from his previous actions, he seemed to know some of the inside story.

Thinking about it, one could understand; as the eldest brother responsible for looking after his younger siblings, how could he not know Tang Wanqiu's origins in order to bring his little sister home from the old house?

The reason Tang Chuxia was sure that the second and third brothers didn't know was that those two were really scoundrels. If they knew the truth, they wouldn't let Tang Wanqiu off lightly, to say the least. Otherwise, these brothers wouldn't have rebelled, one joining the Air Force, the other the Navy.

In their words, the eldest was in the army, the youngest at home working, and with so many sons in the family, they would just go out and enjoy themselves to the fullest!

Is that something a person would say?

The eldest son was dependable and controlled the situation, while the youngest could stay by the parents' side, leaving them to vigorously produce sons—after all, even if they died, there would still be sons to take care of the parents in their old age.

However unruly the two of them might be, they still cherished Tang Chuxia and were very good to her. Ever since they joined the military, they would buy her things and send them to her whenever they had the opportunity.

After Tang Chuxia spoke, Father Tang scolded her, "What did you tell them? Their military service is hard enough—they can't be distracted!"

Madam Tang scoffed, "You know fear now?"

Although Madam Tang would often complain about her two sons being unreliable and not wanting to visit her even once a year, at this moment she was quite relieved that all four of her sons were capable, firmly suppressing Father Tang.

Tang Chuxia blinked at Madam Tang before holding her forehead and saying, "Mom, I feel a bit unwell!"

Madam Tang tucked Tang Chuxia in and then pulled Father Tang out.

Alone in the room, Tang Chuxia let out a breath and stretched her hand in front of her face. She couldn't help but feel elated when she saw the lines on it.

Although her skin was still as pale and porcelain-like as before, she could truly feel the power coursing through it.

The confidence her body had given her in her previous life returned; she knew that unless she was targeted by a heavy weapon and blown to bits, she wouldn't have any problems.

With glee, she moved her fingers and then thought of something.

After today's events, would Hu Mingcheng come to break off their engagement?

As if on cue just as she thought about it, Hu Mingcheng arrived with his parents to call off the marriage.

As one of the parties involved, Tang Chuxia surely had to be present to see how Hu Mingcheng would handle it.

The parents from the Hu Family were still quite courteous, as they couldn't afford to completely offend the Tang Family at this point. Their goal was to switch fiancées, not to completely break off the betrothal.

After hearing their request, Madam Tang looked at Father Tang.

Father Tang's face looked terrible.

For any family, such a situation would likely be infuriating.

Just then, Tang Jianguo and Tang Jianbing returned together, and a dashing figure was with them, burly and strong with a mischievous smile on his face.

As his foot hit the living room floor, he heard Mr. Hu speak and then kicked the doorframe.

A piece of the doorframe broke off instantly.

Tang Chuxia's eyelids twitched as she mimicked the original host's excited cry, "Second Brother!!!"

She got up and ran over, and Second Brother Tang quickly caught her shoulders, "Did you miss your second brother?"

Tang Chuxia nodded vigorously, "Second Brother, I missed you so much!"

Second Brother Tang laughed heartily, but his gaze turned ice-cold as it fell upon Hu Mingcheng and Tang Wanqiu.

"Xiaxia, go to your room and check out the gift Second Brother bought for you. Make sure to see if you like it! Second Brother has some business to deal with!"

Tang Chuxia obediently nodded, picked up the luggage bag handed to her by Second Brother Tang, and cheerfully returned to her own room.

Second Brother Tang was puzzled for a second; he remembered his bag being very heavy and had thought about asking the youngest brother to send it over, but to his surprise, Tang Chuxia lifted it with ease.

However, now wasn't the time to think about that. Second Brother Tang tore off his shoulder rank insignia and put it in his pocket. With a tilt of his neck, he walked up to Hu Mingcheng, "You little punk want to switch fiancées?"

Hu Mingcheng shuddered, nearly falling to the ground.

What he feared most was not Tang Jianguo or Tang Jianbing, but Second Brother Tang of the Tang Family. Having been beaten by him since childhood, one could imagine the size of the psychological shadow.

"Second Brother, when the marriage was arranged, it was only said to be between the children of the two families. Xiaxia doesn't like me, and I am in love with Wanqiu, so..."

Before he could finish, Second Brother Tang kicked out, "Shit! So you think you're the boss!"
