Chapter 1291: The Fool’s Daughter (70)

“When we were prosperous, every one of you came sniffing around for handouts. When we fell into hardship, you all turned your backs on us without a second thought. Cold and heartless—that describes all of you.”

Tang Guo let out a cold laugh. “Mengmeng, did all the morals and values you've learned get eaten by dogs?”

“You… you…” Tang Mengmeng was about to explode with anger. “What are you so proud of? You're just some office worker earning less than ten thousand a month. And your boyfriend is only an insurance salesman! What gives you the right to act so smug? Stop relying on your sharp tongue. In the future, I'm going abroad to study. When I come back, I'll be a top graduate. My starting salary alone will be ten thousand. I'll be ten thousand times more capable than someone like you who only knows how to talk. The man I marry will definitely be some big boss. Whatever he does, it'll be better than you, and I'll live far better than you ever will.”

The crowd surrounding them whispered and pointed, making everyone from the Song and Tang families feel humiliated.

Once they entered the courtroom, however, everyone instinctively quieted down.

Even someone as unreasonable as Old Madam Song didn't dare raise her voice.

Being sued and dragged into court for the first time, she felt countless eyes fixed on her and almost wished she could cover her face with her sleeves.

This lawsuit, meticulously prepared by Tang Guo, held almost no suspense.

Victory could only belong to her.

During the proceedings, those people denied that the IOUs were written by them. Some even argued that the dates on the notes were unclear and insisted the documents had been forged.

In short, they came up with every excuse imaginable.

Then Tang Guo calmly said, “I have video evidence.”

The entire room was stunned.

Video evidence?

Even Song Jinghua and Tang Lide looked utterly bewildered.

When they saw footage of every occasion those people had come to their house to borrow money, they were completely dumbfounded.

Neither Tang Lide nor Song Jinghua had any idea when a surveillance camera had been installed in their living room.

System: Of course there wasn't one. That's my ability.

“We don't have the money to repay.”

“That's right. If we had money, we'd have paid it back long ago. Why would we have waited until now?”

Everyone claimed to be unable to repay. It wasn't that they didn't intend to—they would pay later.

As for when “later” would be, who knew?

At that moment, Tang Guo produced documentation for all the assets under their names. Even hidden assets had been investigated and exposed.

Instantly, everyone fell silent.

Their gazes toward Tang Guo seemed sharp enough to pierce her.

“You have one month. If you refuse to repay your debts, I'll file another lawsuit and request the court to forcibly confiscate your properties to settle what you owe.”

After leaving the courthouse, Old Madam Song raised her head and pointed at Tang Guo's family, cursing them for being heartless, vicious, and devoid of human feeling.

“That's right,” Tang Guo replied coolly. “Since you already know I'm cold and heartless, then you should know I absolutely will collect the money. Take my advice and go prepare it. If I don't receive the money after one month, I'll do exactly what I said. Don't talk to me about family ties. There are no family ties between us. Haven't you all said already that I'm cold and heartless?”

Yuan Shuo had already been waiting outside.

Today, he was dressed particularly handsomely. Walking over to Tang Guo, he asked with a smile, “Did you win?”

“Of course. With so much evidence, even a fool of a lawyer could've won the case. Brother Shuo, didn't you go to work today?”

His gaze softened as he looked at her. “How could I focus on work when my girlfriend was fighting a lawsuit? Of course I had to come here and wait for you.”

Tang Mengmeng froze for a moment.

Was this man really Tang Guo's boyfriend?

“Tch, just an insurance salesman. What's there to show off about? Acting all impressive.”
