146 Stand in a Sinking Ship

"You mean… Are you implying that I should abandon them, Mo? I…" Tang Lingyun stuttered as she looked at her husband in disbelief.

"Then what are you going to do Lingyun? The Tang family is done for. I am sure someone will reach out to you soon to audit your accounts too. Do you want to go down with them?" Qin Mo calmly asked, his gaze was still on the view outside the window.

"I…"

"I am not saying that you should abandon them. Rather, you should issue a statement that you are estranged from your Tang family and also condemn their wrongdoings. This is for show to the public. You can still keep in contact with them in secret," Qin Mo suggested. 

For Qin Mo, the value of an individual was based on what he or she could offer him. He naturally values those who could give him more. He didn't want his wife to turn useless just because the Tang family had fallen from glory. He wanted his wife to continue standing tall, with her chin up.
