Chapter 20: Brutal
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Accompanied by Tang Mo’s scream, a group of people rushed to the east wing and saw her lying on the ground. Her face was bruised, her clothes were tattered. It had just rained and the ground was still very dirty, with her body was covered in mud..
Pathetic and miserable!
“What’s going on?” Zhang Liyun’s face was filled with horror as she raised her eyes to look for Tang Wan.
Tang Wan also heard the scream. She had just come out of the house and was confused. Before she could react, someone had already blocked her way.
“Mrs. Tang, I asked someone to beat her up.”
The voice was very soft, but the autumn wind was very cold.
***
It all started a few minutes ago.
Tang Wan greeted Jiang Jinshang and went back to her room. There were outsiders living in the courtyard, so she couldn’t be as unscrupulous as before. She might as well remained in her own room.
Perhaps it was because of the rainy and overcast day, the sky turned dark exceptionally early, and all the houses in the east courtyard were lit up.
At this time, Jiang Jinshang was not in his room, but with Tang Wan’s consent, he was in her study, casually flipping through a book.
However, the bodyguards knew in their hearts that their master was not in a good mood. He was stopped at a page for more than half an hour, so it was clear that his mind was somewhere else.
“Master.” The members of the Jiang family leaned over. “Someone is looking for you. She has been loitering at the door of the room for a long time.”
“Huh?”
“It’s Tang Mo. She’s by the door of the room.”
Jiang Jinshang stood up. He was currently in the study. Through the cracks in the window, he could clearly see that Tang Mo seemed to be holding something and was loitering at his door.
“It’s been a while. I thought she would leave soon. I didn’t expect that she wouldn’t leave even after waiting for so long.” Seeing that Jiang Jinshang was in a bad mood, the bodyguards only mentioned until now.
Jiang Jinshang was holding a book in his hand and caressing the title page. A dark twinkle flashed in his eyes. He raised his hand slightly, and whispered to his bodyguards.
He said a few words in a low voice, and the bodyguards looked at each other.
Was he sure?
Tang Mo was holding a box of pastries in her hand. She wanted to see Jiang Jinshang in private apologize for what happened last time. However, he had been too ruthless to her previously, and she still had lingering fear in her heart, so she didn’t dare to go forward rashly.
Moreover, she was worried that if Tang Wan, who was next door, heard the commotion, she might look down on her again. She hesitated and didn’t go forward.
The moment she came over, she entered the vision of the bodyguards. They had been staring at her for a long time.
“Master, are you sure you want to do this? This is the Tang family.”
Jiang Jinshang narrowed his eyes. “Since when do I need to repeat myself?”
They nodded.
***
Tang Mo was hesitant but seeing that it was almost time for dinner, and that she would leave right after then, it would be too late if she didn’t make her move now. She took a deep breath, braced herself, and prepared to knock on the door.
However, before she could knock on the door, a kick came from behind and she was thrown to the ground.
“Where the fuck did this thief come from? What is she trying to do!”
Tang Mo screamed and fell to the ground along with her things. It was so painful that her back was about to crack. Other than screaming, she could not even speak clearly, let alone call for help.
Two big men had already rushed over and started beating her up.
Tang Wan was nearby and immediately rush over. She just happened to see Jiang Jinshang walking out from the opposite door. The light in the estate was very dim, and Tang Wan only knew that it was Tang Mo who was hit because she recognized the voice.
“Stop hitting me, don’t — I’m Tang Mo…” Tang Mo cried. The punches were like falling rain, fierce and urgent.
“Fifth Master, what’s going on?” Tang Wan frowned, looking confused.
“Ms. Tang Mo?” Jiang Jinshang frowned, as if he was sizing up the person on the ground.
“It’s me, it’s me –” Tang Mo had never suffered such pain before. She groaned.
“Stop it.” Jiang Jinshang spoke and the two men stopped.
At this moment, Old Master Tang and Zhang Liyun also arrived. Only then did they witnessed what happened. They were so scared that their hearts leaped.
Her own daughter was beaten up and she was still so miserable. How could Zhang Liyun be indifferent? Her expression was agitated, but she still tried her best to suppress her anger. “Fifth Master, did you order someone to beat her up? What’s going on?”
She hurriedly raised her hand and pulled Tang Mo up from the ground. When she saw how badly she was beaten up, her heart ached and her eyes teared up.
Even if Tang Mo wasn’t the biological daughter of the Tang family, at least she possessed the family name and was still a member of the Tang family. To beat someone up in the Tang family’s territory, Fifth Master Jiang…
…was too arrogant and impudent!
If he didn’t have a proper reason today, Zhang Liyun would definitely not let go.
Jiang Jinshang frowned. “First of all, I’m not sure if this person is Ms. Tang Mo. She was sneaking around the courtyard and the lighting wasn’t good. I thought there was a thief in the house.
“Ms. Tang said that her courtyard would have nobody and that no one could come in without permission. At her age, even Old Master Tang wouldn’t enter and leave as he pleased. Suddenly, there was a person that kept wandering around. I thought it was something else.
“If it was anything else, she could have just knocked on the door. But instead, she kept wandering around in the courtyard and stole peeks into the room. If this isn’t the behavior of a thief, then what is it?”
Thief?
Tang Mo was angry, but it just so happened that Jiang Jinshang was telling the truth.
“Fifth Master Jiang, do you think my daughter is a thief?” Zhang Liyun was so angry that her voice trembled.
“It was so dark. I can’t see clearly.” His tone was firm.
“I already told you who I am… Argh –” Tang Mo spoke loudly. She touched her wound, and the pain made her scalp tingle.
“Ms. Tang Mo, I’m really sorry. We’re not familiar with each other, so we can’t recognize your voice. You’ve been sneaking around at other people’s doors, so you really can’t blame us for the misunderstanding…”
Other people?
There were only two bedrooms here. The one that could alarm Jiang Jinsheng must be at his door.
Those who could follow Jiang Jinsheng were all carefully selected by the family. They were usually simple-minded.
However, they could be brutal if they needed to be.
“You said that you didn’t remain in the hall but trespassed as you wished?” The bodyguards added.
Tang Mo had trespassed into Tang Wan’s room before. After all…
She was a repeat offender!
“You… I Am…” Tang Mo’s body was in great pain, and she was so aggrieved that tears kept falling down.
“You what?” The bodyguards said asked without an expression.
It was already dark, and she wanted to knock on a stranger’s door? Tang Mo couldn’t say such words, so she could only swallow her anger.
“I am, I…” Tang Mo was anxious.
“Enough, don’t you think it’s embarrassing enough? You trespassed into Wan Wan’s room before, what do you want this time?” Old Master Tang scolded angrily. In fact, the bodyguards had made it quite clear, “I have already given you enough leeway, get out!”
“It’s fine. Just teach her a good lesson. Remember, don’t walk around aimlessly and don’t talk nonsense.”
Jiang Jinshang’s last words had a hidden meaning, but Tang Mo was baffled..
She hadn’t seen him since yesterday. How could she talk nonsense? What did he mean?
***
Zhang Liyun was furious. She hated her daughter for messing things up. What kind of temper did Fifth Master Jiang have? Didn’t she know already?
Her daughter had been beaten up, and she had nowhere to vent her anger. In the end, she had to apologize to Jiang Jinshang.
Just as the atmosphere in the courtyard was slightly awkward, Jiang Jinshang tilted his head slightly and looked at the person standing behind him. “Ms. Tang, I’m sorry…”
“What?” Tang Wan had yet to come back to her senses. Why was he apologizing to her?
“They were busy catching the thief just now…” he raised his hand and pointed to an empty flower pot that had been kicked over. The remaining mud in the pot rolled all over the ground.
“I’m sorry. I just moved in and dirtied your yard.”
His voice was gentle and his words were cold.
It was obvious that he was implying that Tang Mo was the dirt here.
Tang Wan was already stunned by his series of actions. He beat her up, accused her of thieving, and that was not enough?
That was a massacre!
