Chapter 69: 069 Fifth Master Collaborates with Mr. Tang? Expelled from the Tang Family (3rd Update)
Pingjiang had continuous overcast and rainy days, a rarity to see them clear. Even though it was warm and sunny, the chill in the Tang Family’s living room seemed to seep into one’s bones.
“Tang Yunxian…” Zhang Liyun’s face was the most embarrassed, as these matters could have been discussed privately, leaving room for easing tensions. But now, with Jiang Jinsang present, it was like a slap in her face.
“That… Please take a seat with Grandpa, and I’ll pour you some water. We can talk about everything else later.”
“Yes, Uncle Tang, please take a rest first.” Tang Mo forced a smile.
Tang Yunxian seemed not to hear her at all, still fixing his gaze on Zhang Defu, “Didn’t you go to the hospital to find me? What’s the matter?”
“I, I just…” Zhang Defu chuckled awkwardly, “I just went to see the old man.”
“You visit the sick and curse at others, and you yell in the hospital?”
“I only…” His increasingly fawning smile just made him more repulsive.
“Apologize to him.”
“What?” Zhang Defu was surprised, “Brother-in-law, you want me to apologize to him?”
“He did nothing wrong, and you insulted him. Is my asking you to apologize too much?”
“You don’t understand, that kid hit me, dammit…” Zhang Defu was also fuming, “Look at my face, he even had someone throw me to the trash bin.”
Jiang Jinsang raised an eyebrow, “I didn’t provoke you, yet you pointed at my nose and glared. If I hadn’t let someone take action, I might have been the one getting beaten.”
“Aiyo, now you have a point…” Zhang Defu immediately looked menacing.
“If you hadn’t taunted him, nothing that followed would’ve happened. You’re at fault; apologize first.” Tang Yunxian raised an eyebrow.
“Brother-in-law, you want me to apologize to a youngster…” Zhang Defu was reluctant.
“We should keep matters separate. It may have been wrong for me to order someone to act, but if you apologize, I will also apologize to you.” Jiang Jinsang was always adaptable, and more importantly, he needed to curry favor with Tang Yunxian; he couldn’t seem unreasonable.
He quickly established himself as generous and gave Tang Yunxian enough respect.
“Did you hear that? You apologize first.”
“Heh—” Zhang Defu didn’t want to apologize at all, bowing and bending over to a junior at his age—where would he put his face in the future?
“Hurry up and apologize,” Zhang Liyun urged impatiently.
“If you don’t apologize, that’s fine, but you’re not welcome in our Tang Family.”
Tang Yunxian spoke with a cold voice, still polite, not telling him to get lost outright.
“No, Tang Yunxian, what do you mean?” Zhang Defu was a scoundrel through and through. The very idea of apologizing had set him off, and now being told to leave was unbearable.
“Do you find my words difficult to understand?” Tang Yunxian raised an eyebrow.
“Yunxian, don’t be angry, he’s always had a rotten temper, you know that.” Zhang Liyun came out to make peace.
Tang Yunxian didn’t give her face, “So, because he has a bad temper, others deserve to suffer?”
“For so many years, I turned a blind eye and endured it. He’s now living in our Tang family home, but can’t even receive the most basic respect. Aren’t you challenging him?”
“This is like slapping me in the face!”
Zhang Liyun pushed Zhang Defu, “What are you waiting for? Apologize!”
“He doesn’t want an apology; he’s made up his mind to divorce you and doesn’t fear tearing off the disguise. Even if I don’t apologize today, what can you do to me?”
“Isn’t it just a small incident that recently happened? She’s been in your family for so many years; even if there’s no merit, there’s hard work, right? Are you that eager to divorce?”
“And now you’re doing this to Momo? Does your Tang family have no conscience?”
“Zhang Defu!” Zhang Liyun was furious, “Can’t you speak less?”
She’s surrounded by a bunch of idiots—her daughter is disappointing, and now her brother’s being so stubborn.
Jiang Jinsang stood on the side:
Quiet and obedient, seriously watching the drama.
Waiting for the right moment…
To earn some brownie points!
Tang Yunxian faced the accusations with a light laugh, “A small matter? To you, what counts as a big deal then? She’s contributed to this family, so tell me, have you never taken anything from our home over the years?”
“Tang Yunxian, are you really going to talk about money with us now? Do you have no conscience? Can my sister’s contributions be measured with money?”
“Divorce, huh? You’re the one who prepared this divorce agreement, right? Just two apartments and some worthless trinkets?”
“After all these years, is this all the marital assets you have? The Tang Family is so big, and this is what you give, like I’m a beggar?”
Zhang Defu snatched the divorce agreement lying on the coffee table and tore it to pieces in an instant.
“Let me tell you, even if you want a divorce, you think you can get rid of us with this little? There’s no way.”
Tang Yunxian actually snorted lightly, “Do you think you’re entitled to these things? Over the years, not to mention anything else, do you have any idea how much money you’ve taken from our family?”
“I’ve cleaned up your mess more than once, and if you want to bring up the past, you might find it’s not me who looks the worst!”
“These things, I gave them out of the regard for the many years we’ve lived together, out of sentiment. You want money, huh? If I really wanted to get into it…”
Tang Yunxian’s laugh was incredibly sardonic.
“You came into this house with nothing, and I can make sure you leave with nothing. Forget the apartments, I won’t give you a single penny!”
Jiang Jinsang hooked his lips up in a smile, “Actually, you’re so desperate not because you’re worried about their divorce, but because once they’re divorced, you’ll have no more money, right?”
Caught in his petty thoughts, Zhang Defu’s face turned beet red, and he subconsciously rolled up his sleeves, “You little shit, what the hell are you babbling about!”
Zhang Liyun immediately grabbed him, “What the hell are you doing? Get out now!”
“Big sis, listen to what they’re saying…”
“I told you to get out!” She had originally thought about having a nice chat with Tang Yunxian when he returned, but now he had completely ruined it.
Zhang Defu gnashed his teeth in anger, “Fine, I’ll go! As if I’m eager to stay here.”
But the next second, Tang Yunxian turned to Zhang Liyun and began to speak:
“Now that we’ve decided to get divorced, it’s not appropriate to live together anymore.”
Zhang Liyun and her daughter’s faces turned frosty at once. What does that mean?
They had to leave, too?
“Since you’re not satisfied with the agreement, I’ll file a lawsuit with the court later. The division of property will be fair.”
Zhang Liyun’s head spun immediately:
Because if he dared to say this, he could really ensure that she wouldn’t get a penny from the divorce!
Jiang Jinsang said, “Mrs. Zhang, if you need to pack your belongings, I can have someone help you.”
“Jiang Jiu, keep an eye on it, will you?”
“No problem.” Jiang Jiu’s voice was cold, like a heartless machine.
“If they want a divorce and they want to get meticulous, then they need to sift through it carefully. What belongs to the Tang Family certainly can’t be taken by them, and what belongs to Mrs. Zhang should be given to her; we can’t let her be wronged.”
Jiang Jinsang’s words were like a heart execution—the entire house belonged to the Tang Family, what could they take with them?
Tang Mo was totally dumbfounded. Without the Tang Family, what was she?
In just over ten minutes, the three of them were escorted out of the Tang Family home by Jiang Jiu.
…
It wasn’t long before Tang Wan received the news at the hospital. Given the ongoing chaos at the Tang house, journalists had long been staking out outside the villa, and as soon as they saw Zhang Liyun and her daughter dragging their suitcases, looking disheveled as they left, they immediately released a press statement.
[“Mr. Tang’s marriage crisis: Husband and wife separated, Mrs. Zhang has moved out of the Tang Family home.”]
When Tang Wan called to inquire about the situation, Tang Yunxian was chatting with Jiang Jinsang.
“I’m sorry to trouble you again.” Tang Yunxian’s eyes were bloodshot, as he rubbed his temples.
Family disgrace should not be made public, and yet here was Jiang Jinsang.
Tang Yunxian had thought to let Zhang Defu apologize later, giving him a way to back down without too much embarrassment, but since he messed it up so badly, there was nothing else he could do.
Jiang Jinsang just laughed, “You’re a refined person; you probably can’t handle evicting someone. I just gave a little help.”
In the end, he did this to save face for Tang Yunxian. If he had done it himself and thrown the people out, it wouldn’t have looked good and could have given them something to hold against him.

So, he took care of it.
Tang Yunxian naturally understood his intentions—it was all for his sake, and he immediately appreciated how well Jiang Jinsang spoke and acted.
No wonder his old man liked him so much.
On Qi Zeyan’s side, he was still kicking himself for not recognizing a gem in front of him, thinking about how to ingratiate himself with his future father-in-law, while Jiang Jinsang aligned with Tang Yunxian and earned plenty of goodwill.
