Lin Hui's shrill voice pierced Tang Yaoyao's eardrums.
Her heart sank; the brief feeling of warmth vanished.
Looking up, I saw Lin Hui walking towards me.
Her earrings were two diamonds, and as she approached, they overlapped with the sunlight, a ray of light piercing Tang Yaoyao's eyes.
She closed her eyes slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable, and when she opened them again, she was already close by.
If we're talking about wealthy women, Lin Hui definitely deserves the title. She's decked out in designer brands from head to toe, as if she's afraid people won't know she's rich.
Lin Hui's reproachful voice was tinged with affection: "Why didn't you tell me you were coming back? I could have made some preparations."
Tang Yaoyao pursed her lips slightly, a hint of coldness in her smile: "Mom is also very well prepared now. I think your outfit must have cost almost a million yuan, right?"
Lin Hui, having spent so many years navigating high society, felt embarrassed but still smiled and said, "Our Yaoyao is getting more and more beautiful. I heard from your sister that you're doing very well in the entertainment industry now. You're truly your mother's pride."
Upon hearing this, Su Mei almost vomited up what she had eaten that morning.
Zi Yi's expression was cold, and she frowned slightly.
He felt that the mother and daughter were somewhat polite, even distant.
Zi Yi could sense it, and Tang Shengze certainly could too. His expression seemed calm, but his voice was low: "Go to the kitchen and help out. I remember Yaoyao loves your braised pig's trotters the most."
Lin Hui: "..."
She knew this would be the outcome.
When Tang Yaoyao said she wanted to eat braised pig's trotters, she knew she was deliberately making things difficult.
Tang Yaoyao smiled playfully and said coquettishly, "Yes, I haven't been home for a long time, and I miss your braised pig's trotters the most."
Su Mei knew her best, and with a slight twitch of her lips, she couldn't help but laugh and let out a soft hum.
Brother Yao is secretly cursing Lin Hui as a pig.
Lin Hui heard her laughter and then noticed that there were two other strangers in the room. She frowned and asked, "Yaoyao, who are these two?"
"They're all Yao'er's friends, you go to the kitchen first."
Lin Hui nodded, then looked at Su Mei again, feeling that her smile was becoming increasingly irritating.
Tang Yaoyao added, "The braised pig's trotters must be thoroughly flavorful!"
Su Mei smiled again.
Lin Hui only then realized that Tang Yaoyao, that bastard, was cursing her!
Tang Shengze saw the suppressed anger in his wife's eyes and frowned.
A few days ago, Yao'er was sick and weak, and Lin Hui whispered sweet nothings in his ear.
She said: "Yao'er is pitiful and needs to be taken good care of. If you can go to the hospital to see her, then go. You only have two daughters, and you should cherish them both."
Lin Hui's warm concern deeply moved him. She stopped favoring one child and believed that only by giving all children equal love could they have a complete and happy family.
Who would have thought that she would say such things that very night, and then go shopping at the mall the next day, spending over 500,000 yuan on just one pair of earrings.
It wasn't that he was stingy with money; it was only natural for his wife to use his money.
However, the fact that she still had such feelings at this critical juncture disappointed and angered him, and he has been ignoring her for some time now.
Tang Yaoyao had just pointed out her extravagance and waste, which reminded Tang Shengze of Lin Hui's actions.
At this moment, a surge of anger welled up inside him, and he frowned: "Why aren't you going yet?"
Lin Hui was furious, but she couldn't explode. She even put on a magnanimous smile like the matriarch of the household: "Alright, you two can chat in the living room first. Yao Yao, don't neglect your two friends."
"I know."
Lin Hui turned and left, her face turning a deep purplish-red.
How could Tang Shengze not realize that the little bitch was cursing her?
He clearly favors her; why isn't he this good to Jiao Jiao?
She doesn't love her own daughter properly, but instead dotes on a bastard. It's infuriating!
But the most troublesome thing is that she can't tell Tang Shengze that Tang Yaoyao is not their daughter.
We can only swallow this anger for now.
"Please sit down, don't stand on ceremony," Tang Shengze said, his previous imposing manner replaced by that of a gentle elder.
"Uncle Tang, please sit down too."
The group sat down, but Ziyi stood to one side.
Tang Yaoyao considered things from his perspective. Ziyi had his own principles, and asking him to sit down at this moment would be truly putting him in a difficult position.
I suppose I'll just let him be.
"Yao'er, are you feeling better?"
"I'm all better now. I've been taking supplements lately and I've even gained a few pounds." This was the truth. After Xiao Jinhan went on his business trip, he instructed Uncle He to bring different soups every day and take good care of him.
"Has filming been tough lately?"
Tang Yaoyao shook her head: "I've gotten the hang of most of it, so I won't get tired. Dad, don't worry about me. But you, you've always had a heart condition, so don't worry too much about it."
Tang Shengze smiled and shook his head, without replying.
How could he not worry?
From the moment Yao'er was born, he clearly sensed that Lin Hui wasn't as kind to her as she was to Jiao Jiao.
He was afraid that Yao'er would feel unbalanced, so he could only try his best to make up for the lack of maternal love with paternal love.
This family seems calm on the surface, but it can't withstand any major upheavals.
Tang Yaoyao added, "Dad, I've studied medicine. I'll take a look at you after dinner. You're the pillar of our family, so you need to stay healthy."
"Okay." He had heard about it online and felt very proud.
Just then, the villa's gate opened.
It was Tang Yujiao who returned at this time.
Tang Yaoyao narrowed her fox-like eyes slightly, calmly peeling an apple for her father, her eyes lowered slightly, her gaze deep.
Tang Yujiao looked up and saw several people in the living room: "Dad, I'm back."
"Come and sit down."
She nodded, looked closely, and her gentle smile revealed a hint of surprise: "Yao'er is back."
Tang Yaoyao and Su Mei looked up at the same time.
She smiled slightly, her voice revealing neither warmth nor coldness: "Sister, it's been a long time."
Tang Yujiao nodded, her smile growing even gentler, tinged with reproach but mostly with worry: "So many things have happened, and you're only coming home now? Are you feeling better? Why didn't you answer my calls before? I have to ask Dad every day to find out how you are doing."
"I'm fine, don't worry about me." Tang Yaoyao smiled, but the genuine intimacy was gone.
She never wanted to be too close to Tang Yujiao because she didn't trust her.
So many things have happened in the past. If this older sister truly cared for her, how could she have become depressed?
It might be a misunderstanding, but she will maintain this attitude until she fully trusts her sincerity.
Su Mei glanced at Tang Yujiao, intentionally or unintentionally. She found the woman to be very beautiful. She looked more like Lin Hui, but her nose was as high and straight as Uncle Tang's. Her smile was gentle and tender, and her beauty was a gentle and quiet temperament that emanated from her very bones, making her very comfortable to look at.
At the same time, Tang Yujiao noticed her, her gentle demeanor fading as she frowned: "Su Mei?"
