After ringing several times, Lin Hui finally answered the phone.
Before she could ask impatiently, she said in a trembling voice, "Mom, my stomach hurts...it hurts so much..."
"We're so far apart, and it's so late at night. What can I do if you have a stomachache? Figure it out yourself. I'm hanging up now." Lin Hui's tone was hazy and impatient, as if she had just woken up from a nap.
Tang Yaoyao sobbed, "Mom, my stomach really hurts. Could you send me the stomach medicine from my room? It hurts so much..."
"I have to take your sister to the airport first thing tomorrow morning. Are you calling me so late at night just to keep me from sleeping? How can you be so inconsiderate?"
How can you be so insensible?
These words echoed in her ears like a nightmare, and in an instant, all the memories of the past flooded back to her.
Every time I call and need my mom, she says it in this tone.
It seemed that, in her mother's eyes, even if she was about to die, she should die quietly and obediently, instead of bothering her, her mother.
Tang Yaoyao felt a pang of pain in her chest, saddened by the memory of her past self.
Until her death, she always believed that she hadn't done well enough, which was why her mother disliked her.
But in fact, this wicked old hag was not her mother at all.
Tang Yaoyao chuckled softly, her laughter sounding like a female ghost crawling out of hell, extremely chilling.
The voice sent a chill down Lin Hui's spine in the dead of night, filling her with a sense of dread: "Tang Yaoyao, what are you laughing at? Are you playing the ghost?"
"I'm just wondering if you're really my biological mother. Why have you never given me a single bit of maternal love since I was little? In your eyes, there's only Tang Yujiao. If you don't treat me like your daughter, why are you dragging me into this kind of life?"
Lin Hui was stunned for a long time before she reacted and angrily asked, "What nonsense are you talking about? Did someone tell you something?"
"My stomach hurts, but you don't care. Do I need to listen to others? I can feel it myself." Tang Yaoyao's voice was trembling with tears, but there were no tears in her eyes at all.
Lin Hui was a little confused. After all, Tang Yaoyao seemed like a different person after returning from Xiao Jinhan's manor. She didn't seem to need her as a mother. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Moreover, this was the first time Tang Yaoyao had asked her this question, which made her a little flustered.
No matter what, we must not let Tang Yaoyao find out the truth. She gently comforted her, "Don't overthink it. If anyone tells you anything, don't believe it. Mom is just too tired. I'll send you some stomach medicine tomorrow."
"Swear it, you are my biological mother." Tang Yaoyao seemed to have turned into a ten-year-old child, acting coquettishly.
Lin Hui sneered inwardly. If oaths really worked, wouldn't everyone be able to become a ruler?
Only little girls believe in such nonsense.
Lin Hui said, "I swear, or I'll die a horrible death, okay?"
Tang Yaoyao's lips curved slightly, a playful smile playing on her lips. Her eyes narrowed, but her voice turned sinister and low: "Good mother, you've already sworn an oath. Remember your oath—you'll die a horrible death!"
Where is even a trace of coquettishness in her tone?
Lin Hui felt a jolt of fear, breaking out in a cold sweat. She gasped deeply, "You brat, are you trying to scare me in the middle of the night?"
Beep beep beep beep—
However, Tang Yaoyao did not respond to her at all and hung up the phone directly.
Lin Hui couldn't help but shudder when she thought of the last words Tang Yaoyao said on the phone.
That bastard is deliberately trying to make her life miserable; she must be doing it on purpose.
Lin Hui quickly called back, wanting to scold her and try to regain her lost spirit.
However, a cold, official female voice came from the phone.
It's turned off.
Lin Hui trembled with anger again: "You bastard!"
Just then, the light came on, and Tang Yujiao, dressed in her pajamas and looking a little sleepy, quickly walked over and sat down in front of her bed: "Mom, what's wrong?"
Lin Hui was still unable to calm down. The four words Tang Yaoyao said before hanging up the phone seemed to keep echoing in her ears.
May they die a horrible death...
May they die a horrible death...
Lin Hui was so angry that she wished she could fly over right now and give Tang Yaoyao a good beating.
She said angrily, "It's that bitch Tang Yaoyao! She just called and cursed me to die a horrible death, deliberately trying to scare me. Now her phone is off. I'm so angry!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Yujiao frowned slightly: "How could Yaoyao say such a thing? Mom, please tell me properly, what exactly happened?"
Lin Hui repeated the contents of the previous call.
He was furious and cursed, "That bastard deserves to die a horrible death."
Tang Yujiao sighed softly, her voice tinged with reproach: "Mom, you too, Yaoyao had a stomach problem when she was little. If she needs stomach medicine, just bring it to her. Why did you throw such a tantrum?"
"She's just a bastard, does she deserve me to bring her medicine?"
Tang Yujiao shook her head and sighed, trying to reason with her: "Mom, since you brought her back in the first place, you should have treated her well. After all, if she hadn't come back with you, she might have found her biological parents and been pampered like you doted on me. You've already taken someone else's daughter, so why are you so harsh on her? Can't you be a little more tolerant?"
Lin Hui said coldly, "Who told her to also try to get into the entertainment industry? And she's doing better and better than ever. She's blocking your way, and you expect me to be tolerant? Dream on."
"Alright, Mom, you always say that about Yao'er. Wasn't it you who persuaded her to enter the entertainment industry to be my stunt double? She was already being treated unfairly..."
Lin Hui interrupted her earnestly: "At that time, I was thinking that you have to film intimate scenes with some male actors and some action scenes, which is so hard. It would be great if you had a free stunt double who wouldn't ruin your reputation. But she was not well-behaved at all and even became a star. I was lucky that I didn't kick her out."
Speaking of this, Lin Hui gets angry. Back then, everything was arranged perfectly, but that scoundrel was discovered by a talent scout while he was in school, switched careers to become an actor, and started filming at the age of seventeen, even surpassing Jiao Jiao.
"Mom, this is fate. Please don't be so harsh. Yao'er has had a pretty good life from childhood to adulthood..."
"I'm so disappointed in you. You always defend her. She used to genuinely treat you like an older sister, but look at her now that she's hooked up with Zhao Yusheng, she doesn't even give you a second glance." Lin Hui interrupted her angrily.
Tang Yujiao remained silent, seemingly unwilling to argue with her mother any further: "Mom, I'm going to sleep now. Remember to send Yao'er some stomach medicine tomorrow morning."
"I know, go to sleep."
Tang Yujiao had just stood up when she frowned slightly and looked down at her again: "Could Yao'er already be doubting her own background?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Hui was stunned; she had never thought about this question before.
Tang Yujiao sat down again and looked at her seriously. "Mom, tell me, how did you bring Yao'er back in the first place?"
