Chapter 358: The Beastly Cousin’s Plot?

Just as the two siblings were endlessly fantasizing in their heads, thinking they were indispensable in the Tang family and their status was irreplaceable………

The couple had already swept their eyes across the situation inside the room.

When they saw their precious son holding a wine glass and looking smugly at them, both of their expressions immediately sank.

…………

“Dad, Mom! (￣▽￣)／ I’m about to drink a victory toast with my friends now, so please leave! Don’t disturb us!”

“As for you begging me to go home, I still need time to think it over properly.”

“Song Ze! Don’t mind them, let’s keep drinking! Tonight, we won’t stop until we’re wasted! Come, cheers []~(￣▽￣)~”

“……….”

Completely unaware, Tang Chuan kept showing off, confidently believing that starting today, his family status would keep climbing higher and higher.

After saying that, he clinked glasses with Song Ze, and just as he was about to raise the cup and drink freely again—

This idiot!!!

With a livid face, Tang Guoan got so angry he rolled up his sleeves, rushed forward in a few strides, and raised his hand and slapped him hard.

“PA!!!”

“Dad, why are you hitting me?!”

Tang Chuan’s cheek instantly swelled red. He stood there dazed, clearly frightened by this sudden turn of events.

Honestly, it wasn’t just him—Tang Rou and Song Ze weren’t doing much better. Both froze in place, faces full of panic and confusion.

Quiet~~~

In the room, there was nothing left but dead silence.

Xu Shuyun walked up coldly, snatched the wine glass from her son’s hand, and shoved it toward the flustered Song Ze, saying:

“Here, you drink this one.”

“Mom? What the hell are you trying to do? If you’re unhappy, come at me—don’t make things hard for my friend, okay!”

Tang Chuan frowned, voice irritated, face full of dissatisfaction.

“Shut up. You’ve been set up, do you understand?”

“This drink has been drugged. If your dad and I hadn’t arrived in time, your whole life would’ve been ruined—get it?!”

“………”

Glancing at her foolish precious son, Xu Shuyun was so furious she could’ve exploded, feeling the urge to stuff him back into her womb.

(owo?)! Nani?!

Song Ze drugged me? He wants to harm me???

Impossible, absolutely impossible—!!!

ヽ(￣w￣(￣w￣〃)ゝ Loyalty~~~

Song Ze and I are good brothers who’d go through fire and water together—how could he possibly harm me?! Impossible!!!

Wait—could it be someone’s stirring trouble behind the scenes?

Deliberately slandering Song Ze in front of my parents, trying to make me lose one of the few good brothers I have?

Thinking back to the inner thoughts he’d overheard from that beast cousin earlier, it seemed the guy had mentioned… that he’d be framed at the banquet???

In an instant, inspiration struck Tang Chuan. He slapped his own head.

Got it! Got it!

He finally got it!!!!!

So that’s how it is—the one messing around behind the scenes must be that beastly cousin!!!!!!!!

To retaliate for how I ignored him, he came up with such a vicious scheme—not only trying to drive a wedge between me and my parents, but also trying to make me lose Song Ze, my best friend……..

One arrow, double kill? What a poisonous plan!!! (??へ??╬)

…………

“Dad, Mom—did that beastly cousin fool you?”

“I’m telling you, don’t listen to his nonsense! Song Ze is my good brother—how could he possibly hurt me?!”

“I have 95% absolute confidence this is impossible!!! You must’ve been fooled by that beastly cous—PA!!!”

“……….”

Seeing his foolish precious son still stubbornly refusing to wake up,

Tang Guoan really couldn’t take it anymore. He raised his hand and slapped him hard again!!!

“Shut your mouth! (╬◣д◢) You’re going to drive me mad! How did I give birth to such a moron?!”

“And with your ‘beast’ this, ‘beast’ that—can you talk properly? That’s your family! Do you have any manners? Any upbringing? What have I been teaching you all these years? You’re making me lose face!”

“Remember this! No matter what, Lin Xuan is your biological cousin—and now he’s your lifesaver! Next time I hear you disrespecting him again, I’ll slap you to death myself!”

“………..”

Off to the side, Xu Shuyun nodded repeatedly, strongly agreeing.

Toward their nephew Lin Xuan, the couple felt nothing but gratitude.

If not for hearing his inner thoughts and foreseeing things, their stupid eldest son might already have ended up with his butt in ruin………

On top of that, he seemed to be a reborn person—an indispensable golden finger for this Heaven-Chosen couple—so they had to keep relations with him as good as possible.

Feeling Dad Tang and Mom Tang’s threatening gaze,

Tang Chuan covered his swollen cheek, looking aggrieved???, full of confusion, yet no longer daring to argue back……..

……….

“Kid, why are you still standing there like an idiot? Drink this glass already!”

“What? You don’t dare? Then you’re admitting you drugged my son?!”

“……….”

On the other side, under the Tang couple’s relentless pressure, Song Ze was panicking like crazy inside, but on the surface he still forced himself to look innocent and terrified.

He kept patting his chest and tearing up, acting like a scared little lamb.

……….

“Mr. Tang! Madam Xu! You’re scaring me! And how can you slander my innocence like this?”

“Third Young Master and I are loyal good brothers! Our friendship is witnessed by Heaven and Earth— how could I possibly drug him? There’s no reason at all!”

“You’re insulting my noble character! For Third Young Master’s sake—because you’re his parents—I’ll pretend I never heard what you just said!”

“Otherwise, even if your Tang family is powerful, I’ll still go all-in, even to mutual destruction, and take you to court for defamation!!!”

“……….”

By the end, Song Ze looked completely serious, as if his dignity had been insulted and he was furious beyond measure.

Seeing that, Tang Chuan lowered his head guiltily, not knowing how to face his former friend.

Sure enough, my good brother was framed!

Sigh

Good brother, I’m sorry!

(〃＞皿＜) This is all because of that damn beastly cousin!!!

If it weren’t for his manipulation (??へ??╬), my good brother wouldn’t have been wrongly accused by Dad and Mom for no reason………

“We framed you? Fine!”

“Then drink this glass and prove it to me!”

“As long as there’s nothing wrong with the alcohol, I’ll apologize to you on the spot! And I’ll also use the group’s power to give you the best film and TV resources as compensation!”

“What? You don’t dare to drink? Then drink! Or after you drink, if you want to sue us for your pride, go ahead!”

“………..”

Xu Shuyun sneered, continually pressing Song Ze—whose face had gone deathly pale, with cold sweat already seeping from his forehead.
