322: The confidence given by Lin Xuan, the frame-up by the fake daughter! [The previous picture has been added, refresh it]

“Cough, cough…”

“Alright! That’s enough! Let Xiao Ling go inside and rest first!”

The scene of Mother-daughter affection made Tang Guoan realize that he had somewhat neglected his biological daughter's feelings.

He fake-coughed twice, breaking the silent atmosphere in the living room, and took the initiative to apologize to Chu Ling… “Xiao Ling, I’m sorry. Dad and Mother aren’t uncaring towards you! You and your sister are both our treasures, you know?”

“Don’t misunderstand Xiao Rou either; she didn’t do it on purpose, she just feels too guilty towards you.”

“Because we protected her too well since she was young, she never experienced the harsh realities of the world. This is how she developed such a pure and kind personality, and she’s particularly prone to melancholy.”

“She actually doesn’t have any ill intentions. I hope you two can get along well in the future and become a pair of enviable good sisters, okay?”

“…”

Her and I? Good sisters?

Brother, are you out of your mind???

How could such idiotic words come out of his mouth… Listening to Tang Guoan’s serious expression, not sounding like a joke, Chu Ling instantly broke down, cursing in her heart.

She only felt that her foolish father was simply brain-damaged, and even began to wonder… was she really the biological daughter of this person in front of her?

Is there a possibility that her biological father is actually someone else?!

After all, there’s always a lot of gossip in wealthy families, maybe →_→… Otherwise, how could her foolish father’s thought process be so unusual and bizarre?!

However, no matter how unhappy she was internally, Chu Ling still smiled and nodded on the surface, pretending she understood… Patience!!!!

At the same time, she decided to let Tang Guoan be passively “unfaithful” tonight, abandoning any thoughts of trying to stop him.

Originally, not long ago, she was still racking her brain, hoping to help Tang Guoan avoid getting sick… But now… Hmph, foolish father, whoever wants to manage him can!

It’s best if he gets sick quickly, to avoid continuing to harm her fair-skinned and beautiful Mother… At this moment, under Chu Ling’s speechless gaze, her silly Brother also began his idiotic remarks.

He rubbed his temples, looking at his biological sister, who had just returned, with a mix of helplessness and a hint of dissatisfaction… “Dad is right! I know you might feel unbalanced, thinking that Xiao Rou enjoyed so many years of luxury in your place.”

“But she is innocent after all! We must be reasonable and not involve her in her parents’ mistakes; that would be a bit unreasonable.”

“Xiao Rou doesn’t have any ill intentions! Just now, she was sincerely begging for your forgiveness, afraid that you would dislike her when you came back and want to drive her away.”

“On this point, I have 95% absolute certainty! Because I watched Xiao Rou grow up and am the one who understands her character best.”

“It’s you, how can you speak ill of her without any proof? Don’t think I didn’t hear your sarcastic tone?!!!”

“I hope you can reflect well and strive to be as kind and generous as Xiao Rou in the future, becoming a dignified young lady that the Tang Family can be proud of!”

“Don’t worry! As long as you put in the effort, I will see it and cherish you as my own sister!”

“…”

Tang Chuan thought he was giving good advice, but his tone carried an undeniable, aggressive implication.

And his words seemed to strike a chord with Tang Guoan, who kept nodding, looking deeply in agreement.

──━ _ ──━ ✧ Duller!

They’re hopeless, this foolish father and silly Brother are both hopeless… Chu Ling rubbed her temples, feeling an immense headache.

What kind of karma did she create in her past life?!

Only in this life would Heaven torment her so much, arranging so many bizarre relatives for her… Originally, when she overheard her Cousin’s thoughts earlier and knew that her silly Brother’s chrysanthemum would soon be in danger, she had considered saving him.

But now… Hmph! ╭(╯^╰)╮ What does her silly Brother’s life or death have to do with her? Let his butt rot quickly!!!!

… “Third Brother, don’t talk to Chu Ling Sister like that, I’ll get angry.”

Tang Rou pouted cutely (✺ω✺), standing in front of Chu Ling, pretending to protect her.

Then, with a pained expression, she turned to Chu Ling and said hypocritically:

“Sister, please don’t be angry with Third Brother. He also cares for me, just as I care for Third Brother. I think this is what family means!”

“Enough about that, Chu Ling Sister! I heard you haven’t been to school? Then from now on, my Brothers and I will help you with your homework!”

“My grades are first in class, you know! I’m sure I’m more than capable of tutoring Sister…”

“Although learning from scratch is difficult, I believe that where there’s a will, there’s a way. Chu Ling Sister can definitely do it, let’s start with first-grade lessons!”

“If Sister’s foundation is really too weak, we can even start from preschool lessons, like learning to read or the multiplication table.”

“Also, I have many designer bags, shoes, and clothes in my closet. Chu Ling Sister, come to my room later and take whatever you like!”

“Those are all limited editions that Dad, Mother, and my Brothers bought for me. I can share them with you!”

“…”

Listening to these seemingly considerate, but actually subtly demeaning and secretly mocking her for being uncultured, while showing off that her family bought her designer clothes and she had none—these green tea lines… Chu Ling’s internal eye-rolls were almost reaching the sky; she was utterly speechless.

But somehow, her foolish father and silly Brother kept nodding as if possessed, their gazes towards Tang Rou growing increasingly satisfied and gentle, probably thinking in their hearts that Tang Rou was so pure, so kind, so generous, directly beautifying her into an angelic girl… ⁽⁽ଘ(ˊᵕˋ)ଓ⁾⁾*

He tui~~ ~ Vomit~~~~

Just thinking about it makes her sick~~~~~

… “Alright! Take Xiao Ling to her room to rest first! She’s tired!”

“As for clothes, shoes, and such… I’ll personally take Xiao Ling to buy brand new ones these two days, she can pick as much as she wants.”

“Oh, and this card has 1,000,000; it’s Mother’s pocket money for you. Xiao Ling, take it for now, and buy whatever you want in the future!”

“…”

Xu Shuyun interrupted their conversation and, by the way, pulled out a bank card from her bag and slipped it into Chu Ling’s stunned hand.

“Ah… This, this, thank you, Mother!!!”

Chu Ling’s face was excited ٩(๑＞◡＜๑)۶, and she didn’t hypocritically refuse but accepted it with a joyful smile.

Her years of poverty made her acutely aware of the importance of money.

To think, she had carried pigs for over a decade, secretly saving only a little over 1,000 yuan in hard-earned money… And Xu Shuyun casually gave her 1,000,000 in pocket money?!!!

At this moment.

Chu Ling truly realized what kind of wealthy family the Tang Family she was in was… “You’re welcome, you deserve all of this. My child, just spend it, and if it’s not enough, ask Mother for more.”

Looking at her daughter’s flushed and excited expression, Xu Shuyun’s eyes welled up with tears, heartbroken.

She couldn’t imagine how tight her beloved daughter’s finances must usually be to be so happy over a mere 1,000,000… “Chu Ling Sister, just accept it! This is Mother’s kind intention!”

Tang Rou approached with a beaming smile, hugging Chu Ling’s arm, feigning intimacy.

In reality, the depths of her eyes were filled with venomous jealousy.

The family only gave her 100,000 in pocket money a month, but they gave Chu Ling 1,000,000 at once, a tenfold difference!!!

Favoritism, it was truly too much favoritism!!!

Could it be that just because they weren’t blood-related, they could be so biased?!!!

She was clearly the one who had been with the Tang Family the longest… But why, why were they treating her this way? Why?!!!

Tang Rou raged inwardly with impotence, but on the surface, she was still calling out “Sister, Sister,” pulling Chu Ling to go upstairs to see her room.

The others, seeing this, were also very pleased that the sisters’ first meeting had gone so well, thinking of giving the two sisters a chance to bond, so they didn’t follow.

Thus, even though Chu Ling was a bit displeased, she was still dragged up the stairs… Just as the two had climbed four or five steps, Tang Rou suddenly shrieked: “Ah ah!!!!!”

Then, under Chu Ling’s bewildered gaze, she suddenly broke free of her hand and fell straight backward, tumbling directly down the stairs… “No~~~~~~~~~o(＞﹏＜)o Don’t! Little Rou!!”

“My child (ÒωÓױ)!!!!!”

“┌(.Д.)┐ Be careful! Rou’er!!!!”

“…”

Amidst a series of frightened screams, Tang Rou collapsed directly at the bottom of the stairs, motionless.

Seeing this, Tang Chuan’s eyes reddened, and he roared in despair, like a Super Saiyan transforming.

“Ah ah ah ah!!!!! Sister~~~~~~~~~~~~~~”

Then he rushed to Tang Rou’s side, anxiously checking her injuries.

Tang Guoan and his wife were also extremely nervous, following closely behind, their eyes already red with worry… “Rou’er, are you alright? Butler! Butler!!! Quickly call the family doctor!!!”

“Child, wake up! Don’t scare Mother!”

“Xiao Rou, wake up quickly! Xiao Rou! Don’t scare Brother! Xiao Rou, how can Brother live without you! Xiao Rou!”

“…”

The Tang Family members surrounded Tang Rou, shedding tears incessantly, deeply distressed.

Actually, it wasn’t surprising they looked this way; Tang Rou’s condition at that moment was truly alarming.

After rolling down the stairs, she had multiple scrapes and bruises of varying sizes on her body… The most severe was on her forehead, which had been gashed open by some corner or crevice during the fall, leaving her face covered in blood, looking bloody and terrifying, scaring everyone present.

At this moment, under the continuous calls of the Tang Guoan Family, Tang Rou, who had been unconscious, finally stirred and slowly woke up with a series of “hmphs.”

“Uh…”

“Mother, Brother, what’s wrong with you? Don’t cry! I’m fine, Xiao Rou is fine, don’t worry, don’t cry…”

“Xiao Rou hurts a lot, but I can bear it. But seeing you all cry, Xiao Rou can’t help but want to cry too… Boo hoo hoo…”

“…”

For a moment, the four members of the Tang Family embraced each other, tears flowing endlessly.

On the stairs.

Σ(☉▽☉"a Chu Ling’s eyes widened, her mouth agape, completely dumbfounded.

She never expected… Tang Rou would be so ruthless to herself, truly falling without caring for her life, just to frame her… Looking at the other party’s body covered in injuries and face covered in blood, Chu Ling couldn’t help but feel a chill.

This woman… is an absolute lunatic!!!

To achieve her goals, she stops at nothing, not even valuing her own life!!!

Can she really contend with her… Chu Ling swallowed, and for a moment, she felt a sense of fear towards this ruthless Tang Rou… Just then, she recalled Lin Xuan’s thoughts that she had overheard.

【My foolish Cousin~~~】

If it were before, Chu Ling would definitely feel depressed and angry at being called foolish.

Only at this moment, the “foolish” Cousin felt no shame, but rather pride. (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

In an instant, she became valiant and spirited again.

Hmph, ╭(╯^╰)╮~~~

I am a special existence chosen by Heaven, a chosen one. How could a mere green tea bitch possibly harm me?!

With my golden finger Cousin in hand, the world is mine!!!!

… Day 4 of Self-Discipline! 【Slightly better than the first three days, but still far from disciplined enough. This intensity won’t make a true man!!!】

Woke up at 8 AM today, leisurely went to the small park, timed myself running for about 15 minutes, almost exhausted like a dog.

I haven’t run in so long, I felt incredibly itchy in my legs while running, it was agonizing… Did 10 sit-ups, will see if I can increase to 20 tomorrow, and then add push-ups or something, striving for at least six-pack abs if not eight… Heard recommendations, will find time to learn Bilibili’s Baduanjin, and try Vajra Gong!!!

Sigh, my wife complains about me every day! It makes me so angry, o(╥﹏╥)o sadness flows like a river… The super small park in the village, old grannies are always doing health exercises there… Breakfast! 11 yuan for mushroom and fresh meat wontons + 1.5 yuan for a tea egg.

Tonight, our village worshipped gods again, which is the last time for this period.

The aftermath of the New Year… is now completely over, and everyone will return to normal school and work routines.

Hehe →_→, anyone not do their winter homework? Back then, I never did my winter or summer homework, didn’t even bother to make it up… Sigh, so fast! It really feels so fast, I’ve barely gone out to play this year, either lying flat at home or writing… Still so many people worshipping gods~~~ Ancestors bless.

Our offerings.

It seems that if you donate a few thousand or even tens of thousands to the ancestral hall, you can get such a giant plaque with the donor’s name on it, a must-have for showing off!

Shadow play.

Now only old people watch it, sitting inside.

Is this considered intangible cultural heritage? Sigh, almost no one watches… The fireworks show begins. Those who had sons this year all buy fireworks to celebrate! Those who had daughters don’t, some might say it’s patriarchal, but it’s just the custom!

Fireworks pausing in mid-air, beautiful~~~ Took so many photos, isn’t it fair to ask for some gifts? You know (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧~~~
