Tang Liusu?
She was one of the villainous female supporting characters in the original novel, the fiancée of the original male lead, Bai Moting.
Later, after Bai Moting got together with Li Man, he called off the engagement with Tang Liusu, and from that point on, Tang Liusu went all out against Li Man.
In the end, Bai Moting brought down the Tang family’s business for Li Man’s sake.
With nowhere left to turn, Tang Liusu was kidnapped by her business rivals, brutally humiliated, and lost her innocence. When she woke up, she was faced with a barrage of media cameras.
In an instant, Tang Liusu’s reputation was destroyed, and she died a miserable death on the streets!
She never expected that her big brother and Tang Liusu were friends.
The three of them stepped through the gates of the Tang family home.
Along the way, Tang Liusu talked about her family members’ symptoms.
“Qiaoqiao… in a bit, I need you to take a good look at my little brother… figure out whether he’s really sick, or if he’s run into something strange.”
Tang Liusu spoke as they walked.
When they reached the bedroom, Li Qiao looked at the young boy on the bed. He looked about fifteen or sixteen years old!
She scanned the room and said, “Young Master Tang has encountered some yin energy. Where has he been recently?”
“In the countryside. Two days ago, A’Ye went to stay at his grandmother’s house in the village. He spent one night there, and when he came back, he ended up like this… He visits his grandmother often, and nothing like this has ever happened before.”
“I need to go there.”
“Huh?” Tang Liusu was confused. Shouldn’t they be trying to save A’Ye first?
Li Shaojin was also puzzled.
Li Qiao placed a talisman under the boy’s pillow and studied Tang Ye’s facial features closely.
“His soul is not here.”
Tang Liusu was a sharp woman. She immediately offered a generous sum and pleaded with Li Qiao to save her brother’s life.
“I’ll personally take you there. Shaojin — handle the cooperation matters for me, and coordinate the rest with my assistant.” After Tang Liusu made all the arrangements, she hurried off to get ready!
Li Qiao didn’t say a word, but a flicker of surprise crossed her eyes.
“Miss Tang is always this high-energy?”
“She’s always been like that. She’s famously known as the Iron Lady in the business world.”
“Oh—”
Li Shaojin seemed intrigued and said with interest, “Qiaoqiao, aren’t you going to ask me whether there’s anything else between me and Liusu?”
“No need. You two aren’t meant to be.” She could see it at a glance — there was no point in even asking. Li Shaojin felt momentarily speechless.
He let out a helpless laugh. How could he forget about Qiaoqiao’s talents?
However, Li Qiao did have something she wanted to ask him.
“Miss Tang has a fiancé, right?”
Li Shaojin assumed she had read that from Tang Liusu’s face. He said, “Yes, Liusu’s fiancé is Bai Moting of the Bai family. Their engagement was arranged ten years ago. Back then, the Bai family was facing a corporate crisis, so the elders on both sides quickly decided to unite the two families through marriage. Now the Bai family has grown stronger step by step, while the Tang family has gradually fallen behind… to the point where…”
“To the point where their wedding keeps getting postponed. Ten years ago, Miss Tang was probably only fifteen or sixteen — she was still a child, but for the sake of her family’s interests, she had no choice but to go along with the arrangement.”
Actually —
Tang Liusu truly did love Bai Mouting deep down. Otherwise, she would never have agreed to the marriage alliance.
But no matter how real her feelings were, if a man didn’t reciprocate, it was all just wishful thinking on her part.
The cracks in this arrangement weren’t exactly pretty.
From outside, Tang Liusu’s voice rang out. Just as the two of them were about to leave, an uninvited guest showed up.
Tang Liusu’s fiancé — Bai Mouting — had arrived.
Li Qiao stood beside Tang Liusu, quietly sizing up Bai Mouting as he walked over slowly.
“What are you doing here?” Tang Liusu’s tone was cold. Bai Mouting’s brow immediately furrowed, and a flicker of complexity passed through his eyes.
