Chapter 370: Oppression
At this point, Tang Wenyi had to walk into the living room obediently. That was preferable to being thrown in as she wanted to save some face for herself. Besides, she knew that one of her sisters was definitely in the old residence although she wasn’t sure where she was…
According to her past experience—every time she was unlucky, her sisters would always be there to see it intentionally or unintentionally!
It was very likely that they were lurking in the dark, watching her right now.
She glanced at the empty surroundings from the corner of her eye and couldn’t help thinking, “Did I guess wrong this time? How can there be no one?” She thought of the news she had accidentally heard a few days ago. The Tang family was seriously short-handed recently. Even the invisible person she hadn’t noticed before would be brought to the company by her elders to work overtime, so…
Could I assume that my sisters are still busy? Or are they resting after work?
Thinking of this, she was instantly delighted. To her, being beaten and scolded by the Old Master was not as bad as accepting the ridicule of her sisters! Before she lost her power, she had never taken those people seriously, even her fifth sister!
At that time, she even swore in her heart that she would make her fifth sister fall to the bottom of the abyss and trample on her for the rest of her life!
In the end, not only was she suppressed by the other sisters, but she was also led by the nose by her fifth sister! The position was completely opposite from what she had expected! In her mind, even the old master had become extremely unfriendly to her, so much so that she suspected that she had been cursed! Perhaps she should visit a temple some other time!
As for Old Master Tang, he watched her in a daze silently. He was almost used to her absent-mindedness. Ever since she came back from Shanghai, her mind had not been on the right path! To him, she was really useless! Hence, after taking a sip of tea to calm himself down, he said, “No. 3, I don’t think I taught you to go back on your word, right? Who did you learn this from?
Lu Yaohua? Or your friends in Shanghai? Or… yourself?”
At first, he didn’t believe in the inherent bad nature of humans. He thought that as long as he taught them well, it didn’t matter if they were a little stupid. But now, he felt that some people were really hopeless! He had already used pleasant and unpleasant talk, but his third daughter acted as if she didn’t hear anything and still did whatever she wanted! She was ridiculously stupid! She was like a pig!
Tang Wenyi immediately came back to her senses under his cold gaze. “I, I…”
She couldn’t say a complete sentence for a long time. Instead, her face turned even paler. Coupled with the sweat on her forehead, it was as if she would faint the next second! She moved her fingers with difficulty. Her limbs were completely numb, and she began to feel dizzy.
At this point, how could Tang Boyan not know what was going on?
It was just because she was under too much pressure. It was not a serious illness! He had not even gotten serious and she was already like this. He wondered if his third daughter was trying to scam him! One had to know that when he was young, he had never lowered his head no matter who he faced. However, his daughter actually raised the white flag and surrendered so easily. He wondered if this unlucky thing was really his.
“I can’t be bothered to argue with you about this. Tell me, why are you home late?”
She couldn’t answer this question either!
However, if she didn’t say anything, the old man would really flare up! At that time, she didn’t even dare to imagine what her fate would be! In any case, it would be very tragic!
Tang Wenyi said evasively, “I-I woke up late. I didn’t see my friends for so long, and I overslept after hanging out with them. I think you would be able to understand me, right? Just like how you used to go fishing with someone you knew and only came back the next day, right?”
Now she was using him as a shield!
Tang Boyan’s coldness was even more intense than before. “Do you think I believe you? Are you using me as an excuse? I didn’t make an agreement with you about when I should come home, right? Besides, I’m the head of the family. What does my schedule have to do with you?! Do you want to control me?! Do you know your current situation?”
She was just a pawn that could be abandoned at any time. If not for the fact that the family had exhausted so much of its vitality and that he wanted to get close to the Yang family, would he still have kept her When the Tang family returned to its peak, he would not need the Yang family’s help. They would be dispensable. At that time, his third daughter would really have no one to turn to for help!
“I realized that you don’t seem to be able to grasp the main point every time. Think about what you told me before you left! You said you’d be coming back at dawn the day after tomorrow. What time is it now?! It’s almost afternoon, right?! Do you really not take my words seriously? I think you want to usurp my position directly after some time!”
If the answer was yes, then she wouldn’t get to stay at home anymore. The old master would definitely find an excuse to expel her from the house! Then everything she had now would turn into bubbles! She thought of Lu Yaohua, whom she had seen not long ago and fear quickly filled her heart. She didn’t want to live an ordinary life like him!
She quickly explained, “I, I’m not! I’m not! Old Master! You have to believe me! I’m not interested in your position at all. I’ve always respected you very much. How could I be blaming you? My body wouldn’t listen to me. I really couldn’t get up!”
In order to increase her persuasiveness, she pointed at the dark circles on her face and said, “Can’t you see that I didn’t even have time to put on makeup? When I woke up, I realized that I had overslept, so I hurriedly packed my luggage and rushed back. On the way, I accidentally sprained my ankle. Look!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately lifted her pants. There were indeed bruises on her slender ankles. The old man lowered his eyes as if he was deep in thought. Tang Wenyi said pitifully, “I’ve already tried my best to rush back. I even wish I had a pair of wings! I…”
“Is that really the case?”
There seemed to be a darkness in Old Master Tang’s eyes. His third daughter had already betrayed his trust several times, so he did not think that she was telling the truth. “I advise you to think carefully before answering my question. The truth or lies are all up to you!
Anyway, I’m quite free now. There’s plenty of time to get someone to investigate what you did in Shanghai! It’ll be too late for you to tell me the truth after the investigation! I know you very well. With your brain, if you could think of destroying the surveillance cameras, you wouldn’t be in such a miserable state!”
