Chapter 76: 076 Public accusations, the rhythm of openly tearing into each other Chapter 76: 076 Public accusations, the rhythm of openly tearing into each other In the hospital ward
Tang Wan learned that the Zhang Family was heading to the TV station to record a program and couldn’t help but find it laughable. The dia already enjoyed digging into feuds among the wealthy families, and now that the Zhang Family was stepping forward themselves, they would naturally do everything possible to stir up the story.
Within just one hour, all sorts of negative news about the Tang Family had spread like wildfire.
“Big sister, what’s wrong?” the little fellow stared at Tang Wan with innocent eyes.
“I’m fine,” Tang Wan said with a pursed smile.
“Are you still worried about Grandpa Tang’s surgery?” Jiang Jinsang received the news earlier than she had, but he had purposely not ntioned it.
Tang Wan didn’t want to talk to them about family matters and simply nodded along with what he said.
She had been called out earlier to discuss the old man’s condition with the doctor.
After the experts arrived, they had discussed Tang’s elder’s condition in the morning. The surgery was definitely necessary, but to ensure its fullest possible success, so dical equipnt was needed.
The other equipnt was readily available in Pingjiang District; the problem was one particular machine, which was an import and the only one in the country located far away in Beijing.
If they wanted to ensure the success of the surgery, they had no choice but to transfer hospitals.
“When Uncle Tang cos, talk to him about it. If Grandpa Tang needs to be transferred, I’ll help you with the arrangents,” Jiang Jinsang stated directly.
Tang Wan just smiled and didn’t respond.
At that mont, several people in the ward were preoccupied with their concerns, and no one noticed the old man lying on the hospital bed, whose eyelids twitched slightly…

Tang Yunxian’s car had arrived at the hospital’s underground parking lot. Just as he was about to unbuckle his seat belt, his phone vibrated. It was a call from the lawyer, “Hello—”
He thought it was about the divorce case, especially since the Zhang Family’s appearance on TV would undoubtedly influence the matter.
“Sir, there’s been a complication with He An’s situation.”
“He An?” Tang Yunxian’s eyebrows raised, “I said, hit him hard with the case, I don’t want him showing up in front of Wanwan again.”
“I’m clear on that, but he wants to et with you, claiming it’s about sothing important regarding the young miss. He won’t speak unless you co and though it doesn’t seem like he’s playing with us. Besides, we have the upper hand now, it doesn’t make sense for him to deliberately toy with us.”
After hesitating for a mont, Tang Yunxian replied, “Then I’ll co over imdiately.”
“I’ll wait for you at the police station and arrange things.”
…
When Tang Wan saw Tang Yunxian again, it was evening. Although he had not spoken of any matters, his deanor and attitude made it clear that his mood was extrely foul.
She assud it was because of the Zhang Family’s actions and didn’t ask further, just briefly inford him of the old man’s condition.

The following day, inside the Pingjiang TV Station studio
After a night of brewing and fernting, the Tang Family had been thoroughly pushed into the eye of the storm. Earlier, Tang Yunxian made swift legal moves against multiple dia outlets over Tang Wan’s issue, but now, faced with such a significant matter, his lack of reaction inevitably raised suspicion.
The photographers were adjusting their equipnt, gathering in small groups to speculate:
“Tang Yunxian sued the dia before and threw people out of his family so decisively, why is there no reaction from him this ti?”
“Maybe he didn’t expect the Zhang Family would dare to co forward; after all, the Tang Family is wealthy and powerful, who could stand against them?”
“Having lived together for so many years, could it be that they still have a firm grip on so secrets of the Tang Family, and that’s why Tang Yunxian doesn’t dare to act rashly?”
“Who knows what explosive news will co out. The station is taking it very seriously, even asking the production team to edit overnight, preparing to broadcast tomorrow.”
…
At this mont, the audience gradually started to enter the studio, and the place instantly grew very noisy.
This was a local Pingjiang emotional and lifestyle service program. Typically, it would be prerecorded with extras to fill up audience seats, but today, not a seat was empty, and even the aisles were crowded with people, among whom were quite a few social dia influencers and journalists.
Although devices such as mobile phones were not allowed before the recording started, there were inevitably so that slipped through the cracks.
The situation inside the studio was already being leaked online before the program began.
As the host took his seat, the Zhang Family mbers made their entrance, including Zhang Liyun, mother and daughter, and Zhang Defu. Since they were going to be on TV, they all had makeup on. Zhang Defu, who rarely dressed up, was in a suit and looked sohow…
Like a dressed-up farce.
The host opened directly, “Mr. Zhang, everyone is sowhat familiar with your situation. May I ask how our program can assist you?”
“I don’t expect much from you; I just want to use your program to accuse the Tang Family!”
In general, real nas would not appear in the production; those would be edited out in post-production, so the host did not interrupt him.
“Being family by marriage for so long, I never thought Tang Yunxian could be such a selfish, narrow-minded, and cruel man. Don’t be fooled by his gentlemanly appearance on the outside, he doesn’t do a thing humanly behind closed doors!”
“Look at the wounds on my face. I went to the hospital to visit, but he allowed others to beat . I suspect it was actually he who ordered it.”
“Living together, which household doesn’t have frictions and disputes? He married my sister in the past—for so many years, she helped take care of the elderly and brought up the children. Now that they don’t need us anymore, they kick us out with a single foot. Is that reasonable?”
The corner of the host’s mouth twitched, “Mr. Zhang please, calm down. Let’s discuss the issues one by one.”
But Zhang Defu didn’t heed him, feeling the excitent of facing so many people in the audience, he started to get agitated.
“Now that the kids are grown up and they no longer need my sister, they talk about divorce. After so many years of marriage, they want us to leave empty-handed? What does that make my sister’s years of serving their family, like a maid without pay? Isn’t it?”
“The Tang Family has gone too far!”
…
Zhang Liyun was sitting to the side, her makeup faint, her expression one of desolation as though she had indeed been grievously wronged by the Tang Family.
She initially didn’t want to resort to such tactics, but since Tang Yunxian was adamant about pursuing a divorce, and now with the powerful influence of the internet, if they could win over public opinion, they might be able to turn the tide.
Most importantly, their actions could be seen as hooliganism, whereas Tang Yunxian was a man who valued being genteel. He always took care of the Tang Family’s public image, and insisted on handling the divorce in a low-key manner, so it was unlikely he would co forward and openly tear into them.
She encouraged Zhang Defu’s behavior without any hesitation because, when compared to them…
The Tang Family cared more about saving face.
“Mrs. Zhang,” the host suddenly turned to her, “is what Mr. Zhang said all true?”
Zhang Liyun lifted her head, about to speak, when she suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd behind.
Dressed in a suit, sophisticated and scholarly, his lips slightly pursed, his gaze fixed on her. Despite the distance and his position in the crowd below the stage, which made his facial features hard to distinguish, his sharp angles were accentuated, making him appear even more severe.
He…
Why did he co?
All these people were concerned about their image; how could he dare to show up?
Could it actually be that he was ready to confront them head-on?
