Chapter 297: Excuses
She said sheepishly, “Did the other sisters say something to you that made you angry? Heaven and earth can testify that my conscience is clear. I didn’t do anything! Now I don’t have anything, so I can’t do anything even if I want to. Moreover, I woke up so late because I copied Buddhist scriptures until midnight! I know that you’re not in good health, so I wanted to accumulate good fortune for you.”
“Accumulate good fortune?”
Tang Boyan’s gaze turned even colder as he said, “Don’t tell me you want me to thank you? Thank you for your kindness? And then remove your grounding?”
“Old Master, what are you saying? Praying for your blessings is what I should do as your child. I heard from others that writing scriptures is more or less useful. What if the heavens could hear? It might even let you live to a hundred years old.”
At this point, Tang Boyan was a little moved. Although his daughter was a little silly, her heart was kind! Now, with his status, there were only a few people who would treat him like this! He nodded to himself. He was too angry. After all, it was not her fault that Lu Ming and Musk were working together.
However, before his mood could improve, Tang Wenyi scratched the back of her head and said shamelessly, “There’s no need to thank me. It’s not a big deal. You don’t have to thank me. I’ve stayed in the room for so long. Can you remove my confinement on account of my filial piety?”
After a few words, she went straight to the point.
Butler He stood behind her with his hands behind his back and lowered his head silently. It was rare to see someone as silly as Third Miss. Speaking of which, how did Third Miss grow up so safely? Could it be that she relied on luck? Then wasn’t her luck too strong? For a moment, he did not know whether to pity or envy her.
She did not hide her motives at all.
Hence, Tang Boyan slammed the table as if he had expected this. He said, “At the end of the day, you just want to go out and play, right?! Do you know that Lu Ming has already joined forces with Musk to make chips and phones?! When they succeed, do you think he will let us off given his vengeful nature?! If not for you causing trouble everywhere, the Tang family would not have gone against him!”
“What do you mean?
Who’s Musk again?
Have I heard that name somewhere?”
Tang Wenyi was even more confused now. She had never paid attention to these things in the circle. She only knew that she had the Tang family’s protection and that no one dared to act rashly against her. In addition, her long seclusion from the world had caused her to be completely disconnected from reality.
“Tang Wenyi! What are you using your brain for?!”
How could Tang Boyan not see through his daughter’s confusion, having raised her for so many years? He instantly became even angrier! As a famous family, how did the Tang family raise such an idiot! Although his second and fourth daughters liked to play around, they knew the basics, unlike Tang Wenyi! It had not been long since the auto show, right? How could they forget such a big shot!
She’s already a mother who has given birth to a child, but she’s still so juvenile! What a sin!
“Tang Wenyi! Tell me the truth, who is Musk?! Didn’t you f*cking meet him before!”
I’ve met him before?
The people she had met were basically elites, so this Musk must be among them. Hence, she racked her brains and finally found the relevant information from the depths of her memory. Her eyes suddenly lit up as she said, “I remember now! He’s that Tesla’s boss, right?”
She suddenly felt that she was smart!
Little did she know that in the eyes of others, she looked like a fool. If she could not even answer such a simple question, wouldn’t she be retarded?
Tang Boyan looked at No. 3, who was asking for praise, and his head hurt more and more. He often felt that the other party was too stupid to fit in with this world. He began to regret bringing her back! Couldn’t he let her and Lu Yaohua fend for themselves in Shanghai?
He let out a long sigh. “It’s hopeless. Old He, bring me the Buddhist scriptures that Third Miss copied.”
Tang Wenyi’s body stiffened. She forced a smile and said, “Why don’t I go get it? The place I put it is a little hidden. I’m afraid Butler He won’t be able to find it. Yes! Let me go! Butler He, wait for me here. I’ll be back soon.”
With that, she quickly stood up and was about to run to her room when a servant beside her pressed down on her shoulder. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that something was wrong with her. Hence, Tang Boyan immediately gestured for someone to restrain her. Then he frowned and said, “What are you feeling guilty about? Didn’t you say that you stayed up late to write Buddhist scriptures? Could it be that you didn’t write them?!”
“This, this…”
Tang Wenyi hurriedly explained, “That’s not what I meant! Of course I wrote it, but I didn’t finish it. Moreover, the handwriting is too ugly. I plan to write it again and show it to you. What do you think?”
“It’s fine. I’ll take a look first. Just tell Old He where it is.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall froze. Tang Wenyi knew that she was in the wrong, so she lowered her head and looked around. No matter what, she was unwilling to tell him where the Buddhist scripture was. Meanwhile, the old man seemed to have sensed something and said with a fake smile, “Alright, alright, alright! You don’t want to tell me, right? Then wait till I find out!”
Immediately after, he turned his gaze to Butler He and ordered, “Go to Third Miss’s room and take a good look! If you can’t find it, get a few more people to search together! I don’t believe that a mere Buddhist scripture can run away after writing it! Take out whatever she wrote. If you can’t find it…
No. 3, I suspect that you really lost your brain in Shanghai!”
Tang Wenyi, who was called out, subconsciously shivered. Her eyes were filled with fear, and she looked weak, helpless, and pitiful. Unfortunately, no one felt sorry for her. Even if they did, they were just watching the show in secret. After all, Third Miss had only been back for a few days and she had already provoked Old Master to this extent. How could anyone say that she was pitiful?
She was simply possessed by the God of Misfortune.
It seemed that Old Master had been right to order someone to bring Third Miss to the temple to wash up. It was already like this. If he did not do it, she would probably cause a ruckus!
Not long after, Butler He returned with a long scroll of fine writing paper. Did this mean that No. 3 had really started writing? The old master’s expression gradually relaxed. However, when he saw the words on it, he suddenly threw his walking stick at Tang Wenyi. Immediately, her scream echoed through the space!
However, she stood rooted to the ground out of fear!
She forced a smile and said, “Old… Old Master, no matter what, I’ve written it. Doesn’t this prove that I have the intention to pray for you?”
