Chapter 1298: The Fool’s Daughter (77)

In the years that followed, everyone around them was practically stuffed to death with dog food every day.

In the blink of an eye, another two years passed.

One morning, Tang Guo woke up and casually checked her phone. Seeing that the family group owner had tagged everyone, she tapped into the chat.

Tang Mengmeng had been critically injured and had fallen into a coma.

There was a possibility she might become a vegetable.

Tang Guo was surprised.

She quickly scrolled through the messages and finally pieced together what had happened.

It turned out that the man Tang Mengmeng had married had violent tendencies. Whenever he got drunk, he liked to beat people, especially his women. Every breakup in the past had occurred because the women could no longer endure his abuse.

Fortunately for him, all of his previous girlfriends had been ordinary people. Throwing some money at them had been enough to settle things.

His temperament had long become common knowledge among those in his circle. Girls from families of similar status refused to marry him.

His parents had no choice. Pressured to produce an heir, they instructed a matchmaker to find a clean, pretty girl from a middle-class family. As long as she could bear children for their son, that was enough.

Liu Chunyue had accidentally become acquainted with the matchmaker.

Upon learning that the introduction fee alone amounted to two hundred thousand yuan, she was tempted. Thus, during a family gathering, she casually brought up the opportunity.

A rich second-generation heir.

Introducing him to one of their own relatives seemed perfect.

And she would earn two hundred thousand yuan in the process.

As for the matchmaker's warning that the man's temperament wasn't very good, she didn't care at all.

After all, it wasn't her daughter getting married.

Besides, a wealthy heir looking for a wife among families of their social class clearly had something wrong with him.

So she didn't target anyone directly. She simply spread the news, knowing that someone would bite.

The bride would happily marry into wealth, and she'd happily collect her two hundred thousand yuan.

Everybody won.

Wasn't that wonderful?

Tang Mengmeng had a fiery personality. Things had been peaceful after the marriage, but one day her husband got drunk and revealed his true colors, beating her viciously.

At the time, in order to secure her position, she chose to endure it.

Eventually, she began resisting.

During that period, it was said that the two often fought, and one of those incidents had caused her to miscarry.

Then, just yesterday, the man had gotten drunk again and beaten Tang Mengmeng brutally.

But Tang Mengmeng wasn't someone who simply took abuse.

The two fought each other.

In the end, Tang Mengmeng was severely injured and fell into a coma.

The man fared no better.

Several of his ribs were broken.

One eye had been blinded.

And… that particular area below the waist had apparently been damaged as well.

In short, neither side had come out well.

Host, doesn't this seem familiar? System reminded her. Host, have you soaked in happiness for so long that you've forgotten something?

“I haven't forgotten. I just hadn't run into him yet and was planning to deal with things slowly. I didn't expect Tang Mengmeng to meet him instead. I thought that without me, that event wouldn't happen.”

The man's name was Wu Tianqi.

He really was a rich second-generation heir.

If Tang Guo's family and Liu Chunyue's family hadn't fallen out, Liu Chunyue would have introduced this man directly to her.

It would've served as revenge for lending the car to Tang Zhiming, which had eventually led to Tang Zhiming losing his leg and requiring amputation.

Because the original host's family was easy to manipulate, the arrangement would almost certainly have succeeded.

After all, Liu Chunyue understood perfectly well that if a wealthy heir was searching for a wife in their social class, there had to be something wrong with him.

Introducing him to another family might bring trouble later.

But if the bride were Tang Lide's daughter, what could those two soft-hearted fools do even if something happened?

Would they dare retaliate?

Unexpectedly, the opportunity had fallen onto Tang Mengmeng instead.

And with Tang Mengmeng so obsessed with marrying into a wealthy family, it wasn't strange that she had agreed.

But Tang Mengmeng's parents were not pushovers.

This time, Liu Chunyue was in serious trouble.

“How are Tang Mengmeng and Wu Tianqi doing now?”

“Tang Lixing has already called the police,” System replied, “but the Wu family is extremely influential, so…”
