Chapter 117: Things Exposed

you for something else" he asked sharply."…" An Xiaotu bit her pale lips, stubbornly making a last struggle, evasively saying, "So I said she just came to see me.""She came to see you for what" Tang...Chapter 117: The Plot Unravels

A grand old house

Tang Yucheng and An Xiaotu sat side by side in the hall, both silent and saying nothing.

After the well-trained maid had served hot tea and fruit, she withdrew.

After what happened last night, An Ting didn't know if she was deliberately avoiding it or something. Although she was at home, she stayed in her room and didn't come out, while An Hao went to the company.

Xue Biring sat nervously on the sofa beside him. She tried several times to speak, but no one paid her any attention. She paced anxiously.

Chen Weijian arrived with two others, and hurried to the back garden to inform An Lao who was exercising. “Master, Second Master Tang and Miss An are visiting, they are currently in the main hall downstairs and requesting an audience with you.”

"What's the matter" An Lao stopped and asked in surprise.

Unexpectedly, Tang Yucheng, who was busy with a thousand things, came to set up his home in the early morning, bringing that girl along.

"I'm not sure, Second Master Tang didn't say." Chen Wei answered respectfully and truthfully.

An Lao pondered for a moment, her brows furrowed slightly, but she couldn't figure it out. She turned and walked back into the house.

On the main sofa opposite Tang Yucheng, Lao An asked, “I wonder what instructions Second Master Tang has for visiting our humble abode today”

Mr. An should have heard of my methods, but considering Mr. An's seniority, I don't want to handle this privately. I just came today to ask Mr. An for a satisfactory explanation. Tang Yucheng stood tall with proper posture, exuding an imposing and fierce aura. He continued coldly, "As for what happened, you can ask Miss An to come out and explain."

An Xiaotu tightly pursed her lips, refusing to speak. She appeared calm and collected on the surface, but her small hand clutched Tang Yucheng's sleeve tightly, preventing herself from retreating.

"Go, please ask Miss to come down." An Lao turned his head and instructed the maid.

Seeing that An Xiaotu's expression was different, An Lao guessed that Tang Er Ye was probably here for her today.

"Yes." The maid respectfully replied, quickly walking upstairs.

A few minutes later, An Pingtong walked down with a slightly tense and frightened expression. Her makeup was exquisite and perfect, but her eyes revealed a hint of fatigue, showing that she hadn't slept well all night.

"Miss An, tell me, what did you do to my wife last night" Tang Yucheng's thin lips parted slightly. His voice was calm and elegant, yet it carried a coldness that was both captivating and chilling.

An Pingtong's face turned pale, biting her trembling lips, and clutching the clothes beside her tightly with her palms.

Tang Yucheng's icy eyes flashed with a cold and sharp light after waiting for her response. "Hmm You said...don't let Old Man An misunderstand that I would punish you severely without distinguishing right from wrong."

When An Lao heard this, his face hardened as he looked at An Pingtong, "Pingtong, tell me, what did you do to Xiaotui last night"

An Pingtong bit her lip tightly. How could she tell her grandfather that she had forced An Xiaotu to sign a share transfer agreement last night and even had someone bully her

"Can't you say it" Tang Yucheng's face darkened, "Then let me say it. Lao An said before that he would give Xiao Tu 15% of the shares, right"

An Lao pondered for a moment before replying, "Yes."

Seeing his affirmative answer, Tang Yucheng continued, “Not long ago, Miss An gave my wife a contract, politely asking Xiaotu to unconditionally return these shares. It wasn't really a big deal; the Tang family wouldn't miss that money. Xiaotu kept this from me, but I accidentally found out about it afterwards, so I asked her to give me the contract. If the contract was okay, she could just sign it.”

When Miss An learned that the rabbit was going to consult a lawyer about the agreement, she immediately refused; until last night, she said she approached the rabbit and wanted to apologize for her bad attitude during the previous negotiations, asking the rabbit to have dinner at the hotel, saying that the two sisters hadn't had a formal meal together yet, so the rabbit went. Besides Miss An, there were five men in the private room.

An Lao listened, his face growing darker and gloomier. His muddy yet sharp eyes narrowed, fixing on An Pingting's terrified face.

Before he could speak, Tang Yucheng continued, "After dinner, Miss An had those men take the little rabbit and forced her to sign an agreement. The little rabbit was scared and signed immediately; but after signing, Miss An wouldn't let her leave, intending to have those men humiliate the little rabbit, planning to film it and post it online. Miss An, every word I said is true, haven't I"

After he finished speaking, a pair of deep and sharp obsidian eyes swept over An Pingtong. The handsome face with profound features was shrouded in an icy and terrifying aura of killing intent.

Sitting beside him, An Xiaotu listened to his recounting of last night's events. Her heart still pounded with fear and trepidation. She had no makeup on, her face pale as a sheet, her hands clutching his arm tightly, but she remained silent throughout.

She didn't know what to say. He told her she just needed to show up, and he would handle everything else.

"Is what Second Master Tang said true, An Pingting" Old Master An angrily questioned An Pingting.

Thinking about those shares he hadn't formally said he would give to Little Rabbit, she had already set her sights on them.

He pretended to agree but secretly wanted to get back the shares he hadn't given yet.

"Grandpa..." An Pingtong trembled and called out, tears streaming down her face as she cried in remorse. "I... I was blinded by the devil and did something to hurt Little Rabbit Sister. I really didn't mean it. I regretted it last night and wanted to apologize to Little Rabbit Sister, but I couldn't find her... I'm sorry, I didn't truly intend to hurt Little Rabbit Sister."

An Pingting didn't disclose her mother's involvement. If her grandfather found out that her mother was the one who came up with the idea of the share transfer agreement, no one would be able to protect her then.

"So, what Tang Er Ye said was all true." Old An thought to himself. The fact that his granddaughter had actually found five men to abuse Xiaotu and planned to post it online... He was furious.

"Little Rabbit Sister, your cousin knows she was wrong. I want to apologize and give you a gift. I didn't really want to hurt you last night, I just wanted to play a joke with you, just a harmless joke... Will you forgive your cousin" An Pingtong suddenly rushed to An Xiaotu's face, crying and begging for forgiveness.

She wanted to step forward and grab An Xiaotu's arm, trying to appeal to his emotions.

With black leather gloves, Tang Yucheng shoved her away. His voice was as cold and sharp as ice, "If you dare touch her, I'll cripple you."

Anpingting was so scared that she froze in place. This man's aura was too powerful and terrifying, like a demon from hell, which made her stop and dare not approach him.

"Mr. An, as you know the situation, if there are no objections, out of respect for you, I will choose legal procedures instead of resorting to underhanded methods."

Tang Yucheng's face was cold and merciless. While he seemed to be asking for Lao An's opinion, in reality, it was more of a notification that left no room for dissent or objection.ng, before she could even speak, a man's blessing came through. 。Merry Christmas, Yucheng 。"An Xiaotuo was nestled on the sofa, smiling sweetly." 。Although he can't be by her side, hearing his voice a...
