Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 787: Chapter 787: You Think I’m Stupid?

Tang Min spoke up, "I married Lu Ming, I know, they all look down on me, but you are different."

Tang Yue remained silent without a word, not swayed by the high praise from Tang Min. She eyed Tang Min, puzzled about what Tang Min was staging.

"Tang Yue, we sisters didn’t get along well before, but after I got married, Dad stopped caring about me, and no one in my maternal family cares about me either. Tang Yue, now only you can help me." Tang Min stood up excitedly, pleadingly looking at her and said, "Tonight, at Old Friend Restaurant, Lu Ming and I would like to invite you to dinner. I know Dad, Grandma, and my uncle all think highly of you. If you come, I..."

"Why should I go?" Tang Yue retorted.

Tang Min’s face turned pale, apparently not expecting the usually amenable Tang Yue to bluntly rebut her.

"I..." Tang Min stuttered, unable to articulate her reasoning and, facing Tang Yue’s clear gaze, felt guilty and didn’t know what to do.

Her gaze flitted as she said, "Tang Yue, I hope you’ll agree for the sake of our sisterhood, otherwise, I won’t be able to hold my head up at my in-laws’ place in the future."

Tang Min spoke as if it were true, and she herself was indeed worried about the situation. For Lu Ming’s sake, she had severed ties with her family. Would the Lu Family treat her well in the future?

There was also unease at the bottom of Tang Min’s heart.

Thus, her speech was sincerely heartfelt.

Tang Yue lay on the bed, not saying a word, and the room fell into silence.

Tang Min couldn’t figure out what Tang Yue was thinking and wanted to say something more, but Tang Yue had already closed her eyes, and her voice filled the room, "I know, if I have time, I’ll go."

"Tang Yue." Tang Min wanted to say more, but Tang Yue was clearly showing her out with her eyes closed.

"Xiao Jun." Tang Yue called out loudly.

Tang Jun, who had been standing outside the door, immediately pushed the door open, and Tang Min stood up saying, "Tang Yue, no matter what, we are both surnamed Tang."

With that, Tang Min turned and left.

As soon as Tang Min left, Tang Jun hurriedly said, "Sister, you must not go, who knows what Tang Min is thinking."

Tang Yue glanced at him, casually picked up a small rabbit beside her and held it in her arms, saying, "You said it yourself, she has schemes, but what do I have that she could scheme for?"

She married Lu Ming; the only thing that upset Tang Min was Tang Zhengyuan no longer caring about her. She might be short of money.

If she was short of money, why not just borrow it directly? Why invite her out?

Tang Yue remained silent, feeling that Tang Min was rather strange today. Why insist on inviting her to dinner?

And at Old Friend Restaurant.

"Sis, let her scheme whatever, we won’t bother," Tang Jun said, not liking Tang Min at all.

"Okay," Tang Yue nodded.

She then went back to sleep, saying, "If Wu Xin comes back, have her come see me."

"Sis, you rest well," Tang Jun said softly, then quietly left.

As time ticked by, in the private room of Old Friend Restaurant, Xu Zhenzhen sat waiting for Tang Yue.

"Tang Yue didn’t promise she would definitely come today." Tang Min hurriedly spoke, fearing that Xu Zhenzhen would take her anger out on her.

"As long as you said so, she’ll definitely come." Xu Zhenzhen gave her a sharp glance.

Tang Min secretly rolled her eyes inwardly, not understanding why Xu Zhenzhen was so certain.

"Wu Xin, did you find anything?" After Tang Yue woke up from a sleep and no longer felt discomfort in her stomach, she felt revived.

Wu Xin said, "In addition to Tang Min, there was another woman in the house named Xu Zhenzhen. There are quite a few thugs around the Old Friend Restaurant; they don’t seem to be the good kind. I knocked one out and questioned him. Those thugs are following a man named Brother Zhou, surrounding the Old Friend Restaurant, trying to capture you."

"Xu Zhenzhen?" Tang Yue muttered this name, which hadn’t appeared in her memory for a long time.

"Now Xu Zhenzhen is following Brother Zhou, and if we are guessing correctly, Xu Zhenzhen is probably trying to help Brother Zhou... to deal with you." Wu Xin suddenly felt a bit sorry for Xu Zhenzhen, who thought herself clever, but sadly, her cleverness backfired.

This Brother Zhou, in Wangjiang County, might be an influential figure, but trying to deal with Tang Yue is simply seeking death.

"If that’s the case, then let’s go with the flow." Tang Yue pursed her lips; she had felt something was off about Tang Min from the start. In the past, she would have checked it out, but feeling unwell and knowing there was a trap, she wasn’t foolish enough to walk into it.

Wu Xin looked at Tang Yue with some puzzlement.

Tang Yue whispered a few words into Wu Xin’s ear, and he immediately left the house.

Half an hour later, the Old Friend Restaurant was surrounded and everyone, including Brother Zhou, was caught in one fell swoop.

"You bitch, daring to plot against me." Before Brother Zhou was captured, he viciously kicked Xu Zhenzhen. He had been enjoying a lavish lifestyle for so long in Wangjiang County, where his brother-in-law was a bigwig; he was not afraid at all.

However, being caught on the spot was a bit troublesome, as was the incriminating evidence found on his subordinates.

Brother Zhou violently beat Xu Zhenzhen, who lay on the ground begging for mercy, a far cry from her previously radiant appearance.

Scared to death, Tang Min huddled in a corner, not daring to utter a single word until she was taken away.

After repeated questioning, it was confirmed that Tang Min had no relation to their schemes, and she was released.

"Xiao Min, how are you?" Lu Ming looked at Tang Min with concern, asking, "How did you end up with them?"

"Wuu wuu wuu~" Tang Min burst into tears and threw herself into Lu Ming’s arms, crying, "I was deceived, Xu Zhenzhen tricked me."

Brother Zhou thought he would just be taken for a spin and then released. Little did he know, he would be brought directly for trial and all his past deeds were thoroughly exposed.

His brother-in-law hadn’t yet shown up, and Brother Zhou was terrified, continuously clamoring to see his brother-in-law.

One of the men sneered, saying: "Thanks to your care, your brother-in-law couldn’t keep his position either."

Brother Zhou looked at the speaker in shock; he lunged toward him, screaming, "Impossible, my brother-in-law couldn’t possibly be in trouble."

In doing so, Brother Zhou only compounded his crimes.

Xu Zhenzhen was kicked into having a miscarriage by Brother Zhou and had to have a hysterectomy due to heavy bleeding, meaning Xu Zhenzhen would never have the chance to be a mother again.

When Tang Yue heard the news, it was already early morning the next day. Her period had cleanly ended, and her stomach discomfort was gone. Feeling that something was amiss, she decided to go to the hospital to check on herself and also to take a look at Xu Zhenzhen.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Xu Zhenzhen was lying on the hospital bed, her face devoid of vitality as if drained of essence.
