Looking at the time, Shen Nanyi thought she should wait a while before going over. Maybe she could witness another good show.

Song Ning had realized that it was impossible for her to figure out Shen Nanyi's thoughts. So she simply decided to just follow Shen Nanyi. Anyway, Shen Nanyi would handle everything well.

When the two of them reached the entrance of the community, they saw a man and a woman sitting there, seemingly arguing with the security guard. The security guard was desperately blocking them from entering, while they were trying their best to rush in.

"Our daughter is an owner here. Do you understand what an owner is?!" The one in the lead was a woman, standing there with her hands on her hips. She looked like someone who had been around in the streets for a long time. With just a few words, she completely dominated the situation, leaving the security guard speechless.

"Madam, if you're the family member of an owner, could you please ask her to come and pick you up? Our community doesn't allow unrelated people to enter. I'm really sorry." Thinking about his salary, the security guard still politely explained that he didn't have the authority.

Normally, a reasonable person would understand after hearing this, but this woman was anything but normal.

As soon as she heard that the security guard wouldn't let her in, Li Xiang immediately sat on the ground and started rolling around. If you didn't know the situation, you'd think she had suffered a great deal of injustice.

The security guard considered himself an experienced person, but he really didn't know what to do with such a rascal, especially since she was a woman. So he had no choice but to call his superior for instructions.

Due to the commotion at the entrance, a crowd soon gathered. The residents in this community were all highly educated, and it was rare to see someone acting so shamelessly.

Some people were already looking at the middle - aged woman with disdain.

At this moment, the woman on the ground didn't care about anything. She only wanted to see the person she wanted to see.

Before coming here, Shen Nanyi had already investigated Tang Junliang's background and immediately recognized who the woman causing the ruckus was.

This was none other than Tang Lin's dear mother, Li Xiang. Tang Lin was not the orphan as rumored.

Shen Nanyi never thought that just by giving an address, Tang Lin's mother would act so quickly. As expected, a mother would do anything to save her son.

Shen Nanyi thought this was such an exciting scene that she must let more people know about it, especially Tang Zhongshan. She had heard that Tang Zhongshan still felt a bit guilty about what happened at the banquet recently.

Having made up her mind, Shen Nanyi didn't interfere. Instead, she let Tang Lin's mother make a scene at the entrance and let the matter escalate.

Tang Lin had received a message from the community security guard as soon as her mother arrived, but she really didn't want to face this situation. So she just pretended not to see it.

No matter where she moved, Li Xiang would come every once in a while. It had become a habit for her.

In the past, as the young mistress of the Tang family, she had to be cautious. But now that she had nothing, she had nothing to worry about. If Li Xiang wanted to make a scene, then so be it.

Tang Lin had thought things were simple, but in fact, this decision made her future path much more difficult and completely cut off her relationship with the Tang family.

Tang Lin's mother kept rolling around and making a scene at the entrance, getting herself all dirty. But Tang Lin still showed no sign of coming out.

Slowly, Tang Lin's mother got anxious. She could afford to wait here for Tang Lin, but Tang Junliang couldn't stay in the detention center any longer. She had no idea what it was like in there and absolutely couldn't let her precious son stay there.

"Everyone, come and take a look! Our daughter has become successful and doesn't recognize us anymore. We're so unlucky!" Finally, Tang Lin's mother stopped her act. She patted the dust off her body and then knelt on the ground with a thud.

She kept kowtowing on the ground, really putting her strength into it. Blood soon appeared on her forehead.

Several security guards tried to persuade her and wanted to pull her away, but Tang Lin's mother was so strong that she pushed them away and continued kowtowing.

"We can't get in now. Is there any kind - hearted person who can help us? Our daughter lives on the tenth floor of Building 3!" Seeing more and more people gathering around, Tang Lin's mother thought her chances of success were increasing.

In this high - class apartment complex, there was only one household per floor. The information provided by Tang Lin's mother was enough for people to figure out who she was talking about.

Some people who knew Tang Lin were filled with doubts. They had never heard that Tang Lin had such a mother before. And more importantly, wasn't Tang Lin the young mistress of the Tang family?

Wasn't she adopted from an orphanage? How could she have parents?

Some people who wanted to take this opportunity to get on good terms with the Tang family called Tang Zhongshan.

At first, Tang Zhongshan didn't believe it when he received the calls, but as more and more people called him, he had to believe it.

After causing a scene for a while with no response, Tang Lin's mother thought she had to use a special trick. She took out a huge banner from the car and hung it directly at the entrance of the community.

Judging from the size of the banner, it must have been specially made. It not only had Tang Lin's name but also her photo.

The way Tang Lin was dressed in the photo was in sharp contrast to Li Xiang, who was kowtowing on the ground. Many people were already imagining all sorts of stories.

Some onlookers couldn't wait to take videos of what they saw and upload them to the Internet.

After all, it was really rare to see such a thing happen at the entrance of a high - class community.

Tang Lin had been pretending to be oblivious in her house and originally didn't want to go out. But when she saw the pictures in the hot news pushed by her phone, she panicked.

Of course, Shen Nanyi had played a small part in making these photos spread so quickly on the Internet.

Looking at the photo on the banner, Tang Lin rushed downstairs without thinking. At this moment, she finally realized that her mother was really crazy.

By the time Tang Lin got downstairs, the situation had already gotten out of control. Countless people had surrounded the place.

With great difficulty, Tang Lin managed to squeeze into the crowd. Before she could say anything to her mother, Li Xiang suddenly pounced on her.

Tang Lin never expected Li Xiang to attack. Without any defense, she was pushed to the ground by Li Xiang.

Being pushed to the ground in public was a great humiliation for Tang Lin, a pampered young lady since childhood.

"You finally came out. You still know to recognize us?!" Thinking of her son suffering in the detention center, Li Xiang was extremely angry and didn't hold back. The two of them gradually started wrestling.

The onlookers had never seen such a scene before and felt that their phones couldn't capture it all.

Just then, a group of people quietly approached the outer perimeter of the crowd.
