Chapter 275 - Planted Someone
However, she hated it when people used rules to restrain her. A mere ant wanted to doubt her? If not for Old Master and the fact that they had the same blood, how could they be alive and well? With her means, it was not a problem for her to surprise these people.
What a pity, she thought.
If we’re not biological sisters, I can do whatever I want.
The three of them, who were sitting on the sofa and not daring to look up, instantly broke out in cold sweat. Tang Wanxi and Tang Rongrong, who had thought that they had dodged a bullet, panicked completely after hearing those words! No. 5 had heard what they said!? Could it be that she had been standing on the second floor from the start? At that time, they were only focused on chatting and gossiping and did not notice that someone was watching!
Tang Yajing seemed to know what they were thinking and said with a smile, “Have you finally thought of it? You’re really smart. I don’t know what you were thinking when you discussed the person involved at home. With your intelligence, I think you should give up the position of the family head. You’re stupid enough!”
She paused for a moment before continuing, “Tang Wenyi rushed to the old residence first after seeing the news. As the person supervising her, do you think I wouldn’t have followed her? The reason why I wasn’t in the hall was simply because I didn’t want to see her hopping around! Look at your stupid faces. I have to thank you for providing me with such a good show. Otherwise, I would have died of boredom.”
She was smiling like a flower in that white dress, like a pure lily blooming in the wind. However, her words were like a cold March winter, making one’s hair stand on end and feel like they had fallen into an icehouse. The three of them felt their limbs stiffen. If not for the fact that the conditions did not allow it, they would have leaned against each other for warmth.
Is this oppression from a big shot?
Tang Wanxi said carefully, “We’ve apologized. Look… Can you let us off?”
“Of course.”
Tang Yajing turned around and said again, “A warm reminder. I advise you not to act rashly because I know your every move. I’ve been watching you.”
Then she left the old residence without looking back.
The three of them heaved a sigh of relief in unison, but they could not help but regret it in their hearts. If they had known this would happen, they wouldrather be mute than talk about No. 5! They wondered if she planted someone close to them. Did she do this long ago or recently?
If it was the former, it would be too scary.
But now everything pointed to the fact that Tang Yajing had the ability to get information about them without their knowledge. It was as if no matter where they went, there was a pair of eyes staring at them silently. At the thought of this, they could not help but shiver. If No. 5 had not taken the initiative to tell them, they would not have known about this until they died.
Tang Wanxi wiped the sweat from her palms and said softly, “Can we really beat this monster?”
At this moment, she had already changed the way she addressed her younger sister. In her opinion, No. 5, who had such ruthless means, was not human at all! She had always thought that Old Master was already powerful enough. She did not expect that not long after, Tang Yajing had surpassed him. She couldn’t help asking, “Did this person grow up like us? How did she improve so quickly?”
Then she added, “What an enviable talent.”
Tang Rongrong leaned weakly on the cushion and said, “Everyone’s scope of work is similar but why is the difference between people so big? If I’m half as smart as her, I won’t be stuck in this industry. Even if I want to improve, I can’t.”
“If you can quit playing mahjong, you might be able to do better than now. You go out for gatherings every other day. No wonder Old Master scolds you all day. What else can you do if you’re useless? As for No. 2… Sigh, we’re all mediocre people. If nothing goes wrong in this lifetime, this will be it.”
Tang Nishang half-closed her eyes and said, “I think Fifth Sister could improve so quickly because she has recently started to take over the family’s central affairs, right? It was probably… last week? I don’t remember very well, but that day, I happened to hear the voices of Old Master and Fifth Sister coming from the study in the old residence, so I went over to listen.”
Then she found out about this news. At that time, her emotions were extremely complicated. Although the old master had yet to decide on an heir, his actions indirectly confirmed the other party’s identity. She knew that the old master wanted to choose someone who could support the Tang family. She also knew that she could not compare to a genius, but after seeing reality, she was still indignant.
Why does it have to be my younger sister? And the youngest one at that.
