The man sat down, crossed his legs, leaned down, pinched Lu Qingyuan's chin, and placed a light kiss on it.
Then, just as Lu Qingyuan was about to deepen the conversation, she pushed him away.
"Dream on..." Yu Tang pointed to his eyes and asked Lu Qingyuan, "How about it? Visual sharing, can you see it?"
Lu Qingyuan gritted his teeth: "Tangtang, do you think I could possibly stand by and watch other people's family affairs in my current state?"
"Is it that uncomfortable?"
"I feel so sad I want to cry! You believe I'll cry right here!"
Yu Tang laughed uncontrollably, leaned in, pinched Lu Qingyuan's cheek, and grinned like a pervert: "Fine, go ahead and cry. My Qingyuan looks the best when he cries. I can't wait to see it."
Lu Qingyuan's aggrieved eyes turned into sun-shaped eggs, with tears swirling inside.
She turned her face away angrily and said hatefully, "As expected, men are all fickle!"
Yu Tang rested his elbows on the armrest of the throne, watching Lu Qingyuan act with amusement.
Then he said, "I want you to promise me that we will stand together from now on. Even if I suffer a backlash, you are not allowed to sacrifice yourself to protect me. If we make an agreement now, I will help you."
As soon as Yu Tang finished speaking, Lu Qingyuan's expression turned somber, and he stopped joking with Yu Tang.
Leaning against the cabinet behind him, he suppressed the heat in his body, pursed his lips, and didn't say a word for a long time.
Yu Tang watched him quietly, then stood up and with a wave of her hand, the throne vanished, and the shackles on Lu Qingyuan also disappeared.
He walked out the door: "I'll go check on An Rong's situation first. Think it over carefully yourself, and then answer me when you've made up your mind."
The atmosphere inside the private room had become tense again during this period.
Wang Shaojuan is used to being self-centered and has a bad temper. When she speaks, no one around her can get a word in edgewise.
Liu Wanmei simply asked, "Have you ever reflected on whether there are problems with your way of getting along with your spouse in your marriage? Have you ever thought about whether there are problems with the way you usually talk to An Rong?"
Wang Shaojuan then started yelling, "What's wrong with me? Does he think it's right that his father cheated on me? Are you saying this because you think it's my fault that I was betrayed after marrying that scumbag?"
He's having an affair, and you're still defending him? Don't you have some kind of problem with your thinking?
As she spoke, she pointed at Yang Zhiping and said, "If your husband finds a mistress in the future, will you also look for the reasons within yourself? Will you think that you are the one who is wrong? A woman like you is far too submissive!"
“Ms. Wang, please watch your words.” Even Yang Zhiping, who was usually well-mannered, frowned upon hearing such words, his expression turning somewhat unpleasant: “My wife and I have a very good relationship; I would never do such a thing.”
"My relationship with An Luguo used to be very good! When we were dating, if I wanted the stars in the sky, he would have wanted to pluck them down for me."
But later, when they had money, they still had mistresses! The flowers at home never smell as sweet as the wild ones outside. In the end, all men are the same!
"Mom, calm down!" An Rong said, feeling both embarrassed and angry.
She apologized to Liu Wanmei and Yang Zhiping, saying, "Uncle and Aunt, I'm so sorry. My mom is always like this. I apologize to you on her behalf."
“Child, this is not your fault.” Liu Wanmei shielded An Rong behind her, her face turning completely cold as she faced Wang Shaojuan: “Ms. Wang Shaojuan, this is your fault.”
“I hope you can apologize to me and my husband.”
"That way we can continue our talks."
"Why should I apologize?" Wang Shaojuan retorted, her neck stiff, facing the gazes of the three people present, still feeling a lump in her throat: "Did I say anything wrong? You are not me. You only learned about my marriage from An Rong's fragmented words. How can I accept that you say I made mistakes in that marriage?"
"Mom!" An Rong cried out anxiously.
"Why are you yelling at me! You think you're all grown up now and don't listen to me anymore? You're ganging up with outsiders to bully your mother!"
Wang Shaojuan single-handedly launched a scathing attack on the other three people, making the atmosphere in the room extremely tense.
Thump thump thump—
There was a knock on the door of the private room from the outside.
The group paused, then Yang Zhiping said, "Go in..."
The man who entered was Yu Tang, dressed as a waiter. However, this time he used a disguise. So, apart from Yang Qingzhou, no one recognized him.
Upon entering, he first gave Yang Qingzhou a look to calm the anxious boy down before bringing in the prepared teapot and teacups.
"Dear guests, our restaurant is offering a complimentary pot of our newly added floral tea with every purchase of 100 yuan."
"On the one hand, it's to thank our customers for their spending, and on the other hand, we want to hear their feedback on this new tea."
He placed the tea on the table, poured half a cup for each of the four people, gestured for them to join, and smiled warmly and kindly.
"Dear guests, could you do us a favor?"
You can't hit someone who's smiling, and besides, this pot of tea was a complimentary gift. They were thirsty from talking, so this is a good opportunity to moisten their throats.
So no one refused.
Yu Tang's appearance successfully resolved the awkward situation caused by Wang Shaojuan's words.
In front of Yu Tang, an outsider, the four of them stopped arguing and took sips of tea from their cups.
But clearly, they didn't realize that doing so played right into Yu Tang's plan.
After making sure everyone had drunk the tea.
Yu Tang snapped his fingers.
The four of them entered a virtual space at the same time.
They sat side by side on four chairs.
Apart from their location and the throne they were facing, the entire space was dark.
Yu Tang emerged from the darkness, making no attempt to conceal his true identity. He revealed the horn on his head and the bone wings on his back and sat down opposite the four.
He spoke in a very official tone with a smile.
"Hello, welcome to the Human Conflict Mediation Room."
"I am Yu Tang, the devil mediator who is responsible for resolving your conflicts."
"I hope that your experiences will help you understand each other better and resolve your conflicts."
"So that the boy who paid for my life to come here can rest easy."
Chapter 18
The villain is resurrected for the fifth time (18)
"A demon? A mediator?" An Rong and Wang Shaojuan had both met Yu Tang before, and when they saw his appearance, their eyes widened in surprise.
"Aren't you a psychologist?!"
Yu Tang smiled and said, "Take a closer look at the business cards I gave you."
An Rong and Wang Shaojuan saw the contents of the business card and their expressions changed right in front of them.
After they saw it clearly, it quickly turned dark black, then turned into dust and drifted away with the wind.
Yang Zhiping noticed Yu Tang's words and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Yu, what did you mean by the boy you just mentioned who invited you over?"
"The boy I'm talking about is Yang Qingzhou. He's the one who invited me here."
Yu Tang beckoned, and Yang Qingzhou's soul entered the space.
In order to completely resolve their problems, Yu Tang had no choice but to use his authority this time, just like when Lu Qingyuan created the escape game. He essentially brought all four of them to another world.
Therefore, Yang Qingzhou was able to appear in this world.
"Dad! Mom!"
Yang Qingzhou hadn't expected Yu Tang to help him like this. Standing there, seeing his parents, tears quickly welled up in his eyes. He ran over and hugged Liu Wanmei and Yang Zhiping, who were also crying.
"son……"
"Qingzhou..."
Liu Wanmei's composure vanished, and she became so agitated that she nearly fainted.
Yang Zhiping and Yang Qingzhou quickly helped her to a chair to sit down.
“Yang Qingzhou…” An Rong also covered her mouth, looking at the family embracing each other with shock and relief.
"Alright, alright, that's the end of the sentimental scene." Yu Tang stood up, cleared his throat, and put on the acting skills he used when playing a villain.
To unleash the full power of the devil's malice.
The air in the entire space instantly became icy cold.
His expression was cold as he said, "Yang Qingzhou chose to ask me for a favor because he was worried about you all, but the price he paid was his own soul."
"Correspondingly, I also need to show some sincerity."
Before he could even react, he clapped his hands, and a partition rose up in the center, separating An Rong, Wang Shaojuan, and Yang Qingzhou's family.
Two families, five people in total, are trapped in a space with walls on all four sides, with only light coming in from above.
Yu Tang's voice reached everyone's ears.
"The inability of people to understand each other is mostly because they have not been in each other's environment."
"Now I'm giving you a chance to experience each other's lives. I hope that after experiencing each other's lives, you will have a deeper understanding of each other."
As soon as she finished speaking, An Rong and Wang Shaojuan fell into a coma.
A giant screen appeared before Yang Qingzhou and his family.
It contains the memories of An Rong and Wang Shaojuan.
Yu Tang also appeared in front of them, shrugged, and his smile returned to its usual amiable state.
"Ms. Liu, Mr. Yang, An Rong and Wang Shaojuan are the game participants, while you are the viewers."
"Your whole family is very kind, even though I am a devil."
But even demons have principles; I will not harm you.
Yang Zhiping shielded his wife and children behind him, looking at Yu Tang with vigilance and worry: "Mr. Yu, do you really have to take away my son's soul?"
"I mean, is it possible to exchange my soul for my son's soul, so he can live?"
"Dad! Don't say such things!" Yang Qingzhou became anxious upon hearing this.
"Old Yang, if you're going to use your soul, then use mine. Qingzhou needs a father like me!"
Yang Zhiping gripped Liu Wanmei's hand tightly: "Wanmei, it's you who your son needs more."
