《The Supporting Character Miss Tang Is the True Bigshot!》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation His fat, greasy hand rubbed her slender arm repeatedly. The smooth skin under her palm stimulated the man¡¯s senses. Smelling the unique fragrance of the girl on the bed, the man immediately turned into a wolf that had been hungry for a long time. He could not wait to untie his belt. Bean-sized beads of sweat slid down his fat belly. Before he could make his next move, the young girl under him suddenly opened her pair of moist eyes. Her eyelashes were curled and long, and they flickered over her eyes. Tang Shu had just opened her eyes when she felt a pair of wet and hot hands holding her legs. It was as if there was a flame burning in her body, roasting her internal organs. It was the effect of medicine. Her many years as a bounty hunter allowed her to calmly judge the abnormalities in her body. Tang Shu glanced at the half-naked fat pig in confusion and kicked him away without mercy. The man was caught off guard and was kicked in the chest. He fell to the ground in a sorry state and spat out a mouthful of blood. She had no time to pay attention to the man who made her feel nauseated with just a glance. She slowly got up and looked at herself in the mirror by the bed. This face was not as cold and ruthless as her own. Instead, it was the weak and easily bullied face that she had looked down on the most in the past. Her pale face was lifeless, and his high nose bridge had two black and bright eyes, making her look particularly pitiful. What was going on? She had clearly been betrayed by her companions during the mission and exploded into fireworks with her sworn enemy from the intelligence bureau. Before she could regret her carelessness, a white light entered her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she was lying on the bed, like a little lamb waiting to be slaughtered. ¡°Tang Shu, you dare to kick me?¡± The man clutched his chest and stood up from the ground, his fat trembling. ¡°Do you not want your sister¡¯s female lead role anymore?¡± ¡°Younger sister?¡± Tang Shu looked at him in confusion. She did not remember having a sister. ¡°Hmph, what are you pretending for? You¡¯re a b*tch who wants to use the unspoken rules to climb up the ladder. If you kneel obediently and serve me well, I¡¯ll consider not arguing with you. Otherwise ¡­ ¡± The man narrowed his eyes in a wretched manner and scanned the girl in front of him unscrupulously. His eyes became more and more greedy. ¡°Otherwise, with my status in the entertainment industry, I can make sure you can¡¯t survive in this industry!¡± He was Zhang Zhi, a well-known director in the entertainment industry. As long as he used his connections, no one would dare to hire her. By then, she could only beg, stay to give in to him and serve him! ¡°If what you¡¯re saying is true, then my sister wants to be the female lead. Why isn¡¯t she the one lying here and serving you?¡± Tang Shu was sitting lazily on the only chair in the room. She looked at him casually as if she was looking at a dead object. ¡°That¡¯s between you two sisters. However, it¡¯s also your honor to be able to sacrifice yourself for your sister. Although your sister isn¡¯t as beautiful as you, her life is much better than yours.¡± The man stared at her long legs like a hungry wolf, and he could not help swallowing his saliva. This woman was indeed of the highest quality. Her smooth and white skin was enough to make people fall in love with her. Her curvaceous figure was very eye-catching. Not to mention, she had a pitiful appearance. No man could resist her. He was going to enjoy it today no matter what! Was her surname Tang? Tang Shu squinted her eyes and looked lazily at the man who was almost drooling. She could see his wishful thinking at a glance. Seeing her suddenly get up and approach him, the man was overjoyed, thinking that she was scared after hearing his words. He was waiting for her to serve him proudly, but she suddenly grabbed his arm and twisted it. He bent his back and cried out. Before he could curse, he was kicked to the ground. Tang Shu stepped on his chest, and her eyes seemed to be brewing with storm. ¡°From now on, you have to listen to me. If you dare to resist, I¡¯ll break another arm of yours, and then your leg, understand?¡± The man nodded, trembling, and looked fearfully at the smiling girl above his head. Did they not say that Tang Shu was a weak and easily bullied good-for-nothing? How could she have such great strength? She stepped on his chest with so much force that he could not move. ¡°Give my sister a call. Tell her that you¡¯ve succeeded and ask her to come over.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes.¡± The man obediently picked up the phone that Tang Shu had thrown on the ground. His trembling hands almost dropped it and hit his nose. Tang Shu squinted her eyes as she listened to the crisp and lively female voice on the other end of the phone. Her heart skipped a beat as she suddenly understood where that inexplicable sense of familiarity came from. She was sold to the director by her younger sister for an unspoken rule, and her younger sister took the opportunity to play the female lead. She rose to fame in one fell swoop and made a name for herself in the entertainment industry. Was this not the plot of a melodramatic novel she had read in her spare time?! She even took the damn script for the female supporting role of cannon fodder! The man managed to deceive the person on the other end of the phone with a few words. He hung up the phone and looked at Tang Shu with a fawning expression. Tang Shu retracted her foot and leaned back lazily in her chair, waiting for the show to start. No wonder the character in the book had the same name as her. It turned out that she had been waiting for her here. She did not have any new tasks at that time, so she read the novel every day out of boredom. The female protagonist was a cheater. Her mother married into a rich family, and she became the young miss of the Tang family. Not only did she steal all of her father¡¯s love, but even Tang Shu¡¯s brother became her fan. To protect her, he did not hesitate to hit his own sister. The status of the original owner of the body had plummeted in that family, and she was even worse than a servant. Anyone could bully her. This time, she had been drugged by her sister and personally sent to the director¡¯s bed in exchange for a chance to play the female lead. She had really planned it well. Tang Shu¡¯s fingers subconsciously tapped on the armrest. The lack of family ties did save her a lot of trouble. In her previous life, she had lost all her relatives and only focused on completing the assassination missions at hand. In this life, she still had no worries, and Tang Shu was very satisfied with this. Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The knocking on the door broke the silence in the room. The man immediately shut his mouth and did not dare to make a sound. He looked at Tang Shu tentatively. ¡°Open the door and let her in.¡± The man endured the pain and got up from the ground. His dislocated arm was still hanging by his side in a deformed manner. ¡°Director Zhang, my sister¡¯s not bad, right¡­?¡± Tang Yuan looked at Tang Shu in disbelief. She suddenly thought of something and her eyes were full of disdain. ¡°It seems like you¡¯re enjoying it, you dirty b*tch.¡± Tang Shu crossed her legs and looked at her indifferently. ¡°Sister, Director Zhang said that I¡¯m not worthy to serve him. If you want to get the female lead role, you have to do it yourself.¡± ¡°What did you just say?¡± Tang Yuan looked at the half-naked man behind her in shock, his fat glistening under the light. She resisted her disgust and looked away. ¡°Sister, stop joking. If you didn¡¯t do well just now, let Director Zhang do it again until he¡¯s satisfied.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you understand human language?¡± Tang Shu stood up and closed in on her. Tang Shu¡¯s slender fingers pinched her chin. ¡°You have to do it yourself.¡± ¡°You!¡± Tang Yuan could not bear it anymore and shook off her hand. She raised her palm and slapped her hard, but it was easily blocked by Tang Shu in the air. ¡°Great Director Zhang, why are you still standing there?¡± Zhang Zhi walked over and touched Tang Yuan¡¯s shoulder under Tang Shu¡¯s increasingly cold gaze. ¡°Let me go!¡± Tang Yuan resisted fiercely, but she could not compete with the man¡¯s strength. She could only watch her arm being held firmly by Tang Shu, and the man¡¯s big hand moving back and forth on her body. ¡°Release me! Tang Shu! Don¡¯t you dare! My brother won¡¯t let you off!¡± Tang Shu ignored her screams and picked her ears in disgust. Since she had provoked her, she should be prepared to pay the price! ¡°Director Zhang, hurry up.¡± She let go of Tang Yuan¡¯s hand and leaned against the wall coldly, watching Zhang Zhi press her good sister on the bed. The collar of his clothes was open, revealing his chest. ¡°Zhang Zhi! Stop! Tang Shu, if you dare to do that, I¡¯ll ask my dad and brother to kill you!¡± Tang Yuan raised her hand and pushed away the man on top of her with great effort. Fear filled her mind, and the greasy fat in her palm made her feel nauseated. ¡°Tang Yuan!¡± The door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. The panting man widened his eyes and looked at the girl on the bed in horror. Tang Yuan¡¯s eyes were red from crying as she rushed into the man¡¯s arms. Her trembling body became even more delicate and pitiful. ¡°You¡¯re finally here. Tang Shu, she¡­ she let people bully me!¡± The man frowned as he looked at Tang Shu, who was leaning against the wall. His heart was beating fast in his chest. Tang Yuan saw his expression and knew that he was angry. She obediently nestled in his arms, her eyes full of viciousness and pride. ¡®Tang Shu, let¡¯s you see how your own brother will take revenge on you for me!¡¯ ¡°Brother, I don¡¯t know how I¡¯ve offended Tang Shu. How could she treat me like this?¡± Tang Shu watched Tang Yuan¡¯s act with interest. Another stupid man had come. She did not mind at all that the host¡¯s brother, Tang Shun, had to clean up for her. Tang Yuan was still pretending to be pitiful in the man¡¯s arms, but the man suddenly raised his hand and pushed her away. She staggered and almost fell to the ground. Tang Yuan¡¯s eyes were filled with tears. She thought that her brother would come over to comfort her immediately. To her surprise, Tang Shun did not even look at her and walked straight to Tang Shu. His black and bright eyes, which were the same as Tang Shu¡¯s, were locked on Tang Shu¡¯s face, and his eyes were as tender as water. ¡°Tang Shu, fortunately, you¡¯re not the one being bullied.¡± Tang Shu looked suspiciously at the man who was obviously not in his right mind. She wondered if he had bad eyesight and had mistaken her for someone else. She pouted and pointed in the direction behind Tang Shun. ¡°Your good sister is over there.¡± Tang Shun lowered his head with a bitter smile. He looked at her carefully. Seeing that she was not hurt, he was relieved. ¡°You¡¯re my real sister.¡± When he said this, Tang Shun¡¯s eyes were slightly sore. Guilt and regret lingered in his heart for a long time. In his previous life, he was so stupid that he easily believed his half-sister, but he did not care about his own sister. Under Tang Yuan¡¯s deliberate act, he even hated his own sister and let her be bullied by the servants. He used to love Tang Yuan with all his heart, but he was schemed against by her and her biological father until he had nothing left. In the end, he was even sent to prison by Tang Yuan. Tang Shun only came to his senses right before his death. Fortunately, he had another chance to start over. He wanted to make it up to his sister and protect her from being wronged for the rest of her life. ¡°Brother, what are you saying? In order to be the female lead, my sister actually gave me to the director. She even hit me!¡± Tang Yuan was still complaining unwillingly behind him, wishing that Tang Shun would tear her apart immediately. Tang Shun was very clear about what had happened. ¡°Tang Shu, you¡¯ve suffered much. I¡¯ll protect you in the future. Whatever you want, just tell me. Even if it¡¯s the moon in the sky, I¡¯ll pluck it down for you.¡± His attitude was not right. Tang Yuan tried to sound him out with uncertainty, and her voice was much lower. ¡°Brother, I¡¯m here. Why are you only comforting Tang Shu and ignoring me?¡± Tang Yuan blinked her eyes and tears fell. She was used to using this pitiful attitude to stabilize her position. A stupid man like Tang Shun fell for this trick of hers the most. He was enchanted by her with a few simple tricks and was willing to be manipulated by her. Zhou Zhou, the assistant who had rushed into the room with Tang Shun, was deceived by Tang Yuan¡¯s appearance. He supported Tang Yuan and wiped her tears. ¡°Tang Shun, if we didn¡¯t come in time, I don¡¯t know how Tang Yuan would¡¯ve been harmed!¡± Zhou Zhou glared at Tang Shu, who had nothing to do with this. ¡°We can¡¯t let that b*tch off!¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The veins on Tang Shun¡¯s forehead were bulging. How could he not understand that this was all Tang Yuan¡¯s trap after being reborn? ¡°Tang Shu is my biological sister, and you¡¯re just an outsider brought into the house by my stepmother. How can you be compared to my sister?¡± Tang Shun did not pay any more attention to her. H walked up to Zhang Zhi with a cold face and kicked him. ¡°How dare you bully my sister? I¡¯ll kill you.¡± Zhang Zhi groaned in pain and begged for mercy. Tang Yuan covered her mouth in astonishment. She really could not understand why her brother, who had always been gentle and obedient to her, would be so harsh to her today and even say that she was an outsider of unknown origin. Could it be that her brother had found out something about her and was angry at her? ¡°Brother, I know you¡¯re angry. It¡¯s all my fault. If only I didn¡¯t get your love from the beginning, then I wouldn¡¯t be heartbroken now. You hate me so much, and Tang Shu doesn¡¯t like me either. I might as well just die.¡± Tang Yuan lowered her head in tears, like a poor girl who was being blamed by her parents. Unfortunately, Tang Shun did not even spare her a glance. He raised his hand and dialed a number. ¡°Whoever dares to associate with Zhang Zhi in the future is going against the Tang family!¡± Tang Shun hung up the phone angrily and turned around to look at Tang Shu lovingly. ¡°Sister, I¡¯ll take you away, okay? Let¡¯s go home.¡± Tang Shu looked at the pure white short skirt she was wearing. Even though the person in front of her was so different from the one in the book that she even suspected that she had read a fake book, she was really tired of this sheep-like dress, so she suggested, ¡°Let¡¯s go buy some clothes.¡± Tang Shun was overjoyed. It did not matter what Tang Shu wanted to do, as long as she still cared about him. ¡°Okay, okay, okay. I¡¯ll buy new clothes for you. Let¡¯s go.¡± Tang Yuan had never been completely ignored like this before. Seeing them leave, she quickly pulled her assistant, Zhou Zhou, and followed them. Who knew that in the hotel lobby, they would meet a handsome man that even Tang Shu could not help but marvel at. The man¡¯s eyes were like stars, his eyebrows were like a painting, and his bright red lips were so red that even a ripe cherry would feel inferior. His suit wrapped tightly around his strong figure, and he just stood there against the light. He looked like a god. The man seemed to have noticed her gaze. He strode around the fountain in the lobby and walked gracefully toward Tang Shu under the gaze of the crowd. He raised his slender fingers and picked up the mineral water bottle on the ground. He also took out a piece of cloth from his pocket and squatted to wipe Tang Shu¡¯s shoes. ¡°Miss, it¡¯s twenty yuan for one call.¡± Tang Shu¡¯s heart was bleeding. She was used to seeing beautiful men, but he was a hand-con. That person had such beautiful hands, but he used them to clean shoes and pick up garbage? It was really a waste of heavenly gifts! Tang Shun pursed his lips in disdain. ¡°Is this what you do?¡± ¡°You know each other?¡± ¡°He¡¯s your fianc¨¦.¡± Tang Shun was obviously impatient. In his heart, such a person was not worthy of marrying his sister. His younger sister was a precious daughter. She would never marry a lowly person. ¡°Tang Shu,¡± the man suddenly stood up and said, ¡°You don¡¯t recognize me?¡± Tang Shu¡¯s hair stood on end. Back when she was a bounty hunter, she could not resist the voice of the guy from the intelligence bureau. This was because these were her only two weaknesses. She was completely voice-controlled and hand-controlled. Her fianc¨¦ had two of them! ¡°Collin, my sister will not marry you.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this my sister¡¯s poor fianc¨¦? My heart really aches for you. After you get married, won¡¯t you only be able to rely on him to pick up bottles for others to live?¡± Tang Yuan, who was following behind, saw this and quickly began to sneer at Tang Shu. Tang Shu pursed her lips and took out all the bank cards and cash in her wallet, stuffing them into Collin¡¯s hands. ¡°I¡¯ll take care of you in the future. I can afford to take care of my own fianc¨¦!¡± ¡°Tang Shu!¡± Tang Shun only felt that this scene was very heart-piercing. ¡°Collin, stay away from my sister!¡± However, the man called Collin did not take Tang Shun seriously at all. He only leaned closer to Tang Shu and looked at her with his bright eyes. ¡°My fianc¨¦e, are you giving me money to support me?¡± Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°I¡­ ¡± Tang Shu¡¯s mouth seemed to be in a knot. He was too close, so close that she could hear his breathing clearly. However, Collin did not intend to let her off so easily. He held a few bank cards in his hand and looked at her with his dark eyes. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you saying anything? Didn¡¯t you just say that you wanted to keep me as your mistress?¡± Her body was pressed against his firm chest. His deep voice was in her ears, and his beautiful fingers were in front of her eyes. Tang Shu¡¯s body went soft, and her brain stopped working for a moment. The tips of her ears were suspiciously red. ¡°Let go of my sister!¡± Tang Shun could not stand it anymore. His sister¡¯s dazed look clearly showed that she did not want to be touched by him. She did not want to say a word to him. Why was this person still so persistent? ¡°I¡¯m warning you. If you dare to come near my sister again, don¡¯t blame me for being impolite!¡± Tang Shu only came back to her senses after she was out of Collin¡¯s arms. She pulled back her arm that was held by Tang Shun and got into the car as if she was running for her life before Collin could speak. She only dared to glance at his slender fingers one last time from the corner of her eye. Tang Shu really wanted to cry. ¡°Sister Yuan, why do I feel like your brother and this b*tch are different today?¡± Zhou Zhou looked curiously at the two people who had left. After what happened today, Tang Shun did not comfort her at all. He did not even protect Tang Yuan. He did not take Tang Yuan with him when he left earlier, but left with that b*tch, Tang Shu. This kind of situation had never happened before! ¡°I know.¡± Tang Yuan¡¯s voice sank. There was a strange feeling in her heart, but she was still overconfident in her means and did not take it to heart. She believed that as long as she went home and cried to her father and brother, she would still be the baby in their hands. Who was Tang Shu? Was she even worthy to compete with her? ¡°Collin, my sister won¡¯t marry a pauper like you. Get as far away from her as you can.¡± After mocking Collin, Tang Yuan was finally relieved and left with Zhou Zhou in a taxi. Collin ignored her. He turned around, walked around the hotel, and got into a Maybach parked in a remote alley. ¡°How is it? You didn¡¯t hesitate to pretend to be a garbage collector to disgust her. You¡¯ve successfully broken off the engagement, right?¡± As soon as the call went through, Lu Nan¡¯s carefree voice suddenly sounded. ¡°Thanks to you, we didn¡¯t break off the engagement. She even gave me money.¡± ¡°?¡± There was a strange silence on the other end of the phone. ¡°She¡­ Didn¡¯t she always listen to her sister and ignore you?¡± ¡°Yup.¡± Collin gave a meaningful smirk. ¡°Why did it suddenly change?¡± Tang Shu and Tang Shun returned to the villa in the evening. As soon as they entered the house, Tang Shun¡¯s phone rang. He looked at the caller ID on his phone screen and rushed back to his room in a hurry. Tang Shu was not interested in him. She sat on the sofa in the living room and poured herself a cup of cold tea. ¡°How dare you drink the tea leaves that eldest miss specially bought for madam?¡± Tian Wei, the old nanny of the Tang family for more than ten years, came out of nowhere and was furious when she saw Tang Shu and the shopping bags on the ground at her feet. ¡°You still dare to buy so many things. If the young master knew about this, he would definitely scold you! I¡¯ll take these things away and save you from being scolded. I¡¯m doing this for your own good.¡± As Tian Wei spoke, she picked up the bags and pretended to walk to her room. ¡°Stop! Who allowed you to touch my things?¡± Tian Wei was so frightened by her scolding that she let go of her hand, and the shopping bags immediately fell to the ground. Looking at Tang Shu¡¯s expressionless face, Tian Wei felt a wave of fear for no reason. However, when she thought of this person¡¯s status in the Tang family, this fear was quickly thrown to the back of her mind. ¡°What are you shouting for? I¡¯m doing this for you. If the young master comes back and sees you spending money like that, he¡¯ll kick you out. You¡¯re spending the Tang family¡¯s money. How can you be so thick-skinned to buy such an expensive thing?¡± Tian Wei picked up the pure white scarf that had fallen on the ground and put it around her neck. ¡°This scarf is just right for my daughter. Give it to her. Don¡¯t waste such a good thing.¡± ¡°Put it down.¡± Tang Shu looked at her greedy expression coldly. The original Tang Shu was worse than a dog in this house. A servant who was nothing dared to climb over her head. ¡°Why are you so insensible?¡± Tian Wei was about to teach her a few more words when a sudden sound came from the door, and the crisp sound of heels interrupted her. ¡°What happened, Auntie Tian?¡± Tang Yuan looked at the wolf on the ground, glanced at the scarf around Tian Wei¡¯s neck, and sarcastically smiled. ¡°Sister, do you want to be kicked out of the Tang family by Father and court death?¡± Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°That¡¯s right. Miss, it¡¯s such a waste to give this scarf to her. It¡¯s better to give it to my daughter.¡± Tian Wei winked at Tang Yuan and held the scarf, unwilling to let go. Tang Yuan sneered and kicked the bag at her feet. She leaned close to Tang Shu¡¯s ear and whispered, ¡°Sister, so what if Tang Shun protected you today? You¡¯re still a piece of trash that anyone can step on in this family!¡± Tang Shu narrowed her eyes and suddenly raised her hand to grab Tang Yuan¡¯s neck. She used a little strength and lowered her voice like Tang Yuan. ¡°You can provoke me, but I¡¯ve never been gentle. What if I accidentally break your neck?¡± ¡°You ¡­ ¡± Tang Yuan¡¯s face turned red and she could not say a word. She slapped Tang Shu¡¯s hand hard and looked at the monster in front of her in horror. It was different. Tang Shu had really changed. When she drugged Tang Shu yesterday, she was still acting stupid, but ever since Director Zhang called her to the hotel room, Tang Shu had been surprisingly calm. Tang Shu did not panic because of the unspoken rules, nor was she in a sorry state and crying as Tang Yuan had imagined. What she wanted to see was her personally pushing her down from the clouds, from the high and mighty eldest miss of the Tang family to a good-for-nothing. Not the Tang Shu she was now. No matter how much she did not want to admit it, only she knew very well that she was afraid of Tang Shu. She stopped her hands mid-way. Her trembling hand gradually fell. The stunned Tian Wei hurriedly went up to Tang Yuan¡¯s aid, but Tang Shu let go of her hand before Tian Wei could touch her. She did not intend to strangle Tang Yuan here in the first place, but just to give her a warning. Tang Yuan panted heavily and looked at Tang Shu coldly. ¡°Remember, I won¡¯t let you go. As long as I¡¯m here, you won¡¯t have a place in the Tang family.¡± ¡°Go ahead.¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Tang Shun hurried down the stairs and saw the shopping bags scattered all over the floor. Some clothes and jewelry even rolled out of the bags. He was furious. ¡°Who did this?¡± ¡°It¡¯s Tang Shu!¡± When Tian Wei saw that the eldest young master had arrived, it was as if she had found her backbone. She quickly exaggerated and complained, ¡°Eldest young master, look at how much she bought and how she¡¯s spending the Tang family¡¯s money. She even hit the young miss. You should quickly drive her out of the Tang family. She¡¯s too lawless.¡± Tang Shun¡¯s face grew darker. He glared at Tian Wei, and his fists clenched so tightly that they made cracking sounds. ¡°Why would I need you, an old thing, to talk so much nonsense about what my sister wants to buy? The Tang family¡¯s money is her money!¡± How could he have forgotten that this kind of situation had happened in the Tang family before? On the contrary, he was well aware of the humiliation that the servants had given Tang Shu, but he acquiesced and chose to turn a blind eye to it. Tang Shun¡¯s heart was bleeding. It was as if someone had stabbed him in the heart and made a cut. The bloody wound was reminding him that he was a sinner for what he had done to his sister. ¡°Butler Lin, get everyone here,¡± Tang Shun said with a deep voice, closing his eyes. Butler Lin, who had heard the commotion, rushed over quickly and gathered all the servants in the Tang family in the living room. ¡°From today on, remember this. Tang Shu is my sister. She¡¯s the real miss of the Tang family. I won¡¯t allow anyone to disrespect her,¡± Tang Shun looked at the crowd and said. The servants looked at each other. On one hand, they were curious as to why the eldest young master had suddenly changed his temperament. On the other hand, they were secretly shocked. Many of them had bullied the eldest young miss. Now that the eldest young master had said this, they immediately lowered their heads and did not even dare to breathe. Tian Wei had long been frightened by this scene. Seeing that the young master had finished reprimanding everyone and turned to face her, she quickly knelt on the ground and hugged the leg of the young master¡¯s pants. ¡°Young Master, I didn¡¯t bully her. She was the one who hit the young miss first.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you understand what I said? Tang Shu is the real lady of the Tang family!¡± The veins on Tang Shun¡¯s face were bulging. Tian Wei had been in the Tang family for more than ten years, but she had always been tyrannical and regarded him as the master of the Tang family. If he did not teach her a lesson today, he was afraid that her sister would be bullied by her in the future. ¡°Tian Wei has offended her superior and bullied the eldest miss of the Tang family. From today onward, she¡¯ll be expelled from the Tang family. Pack up your things and get lost,¡± Tang Shun said in a deep voice. ¡°Young Master! You can¡¯t chase me away! I¡¯ve been in the Tang family for more than ten years. How can you drive me away for her? I¡¯ve brought you up!¡± Tian Wei shouted in panic. She did not want to be driven out of the Tang family. However, Tang Shun had already made up his mind not to keep her. ¡°Because she¡¯s my sister. Butler Lin, take her away. I don¡¯t want to see her again.¡± Chapter 6 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Butler Lin watched this farce with a smile. He looked coldly at the servants of the Tang family. Some of them were glad, while others were afraid. Even the once arrogant daughter of the Tang family, Tang Yuan, shrank her neck and was stunned speechless. Only Tang Shu seemed to have nothing to do with the commotion. She only focused on sitting on the couch and drinking the tea in her hand. Although Tang Shu did not even look over, this did not mean that she did not pay attention to the commotion here. Therefore, when someone looked at her differently, Tang Shu noticed it immediately. She looked up curiously. Butler Lin did not seem to expect her to look over. He was stunned for a moment before his lips curled into a sincere smile. Tang Shu nodded and smiled. It seemed that Butler Lin was the only one in the Tang family who had no ill intentions toward the family. Butler Lin had not seen Tang Shu smile like this in the Tang family for many years. He lowered his head and led the servants out of the living room. At this moment, the night sky was dark and filled with stars. He let out a long sigh and looked at the brightest star in the twilight. It was high up in the sky, and its beauty made people stop to look at it. ¡°Looks like the Tang family¡¯s fate is going to change.¡± In the living room, only the Tang siblings were left. Tang Yuan returned to her room in a daze. Before she left, she looked back at Tang Shun pitifully with anticipation and hope. Unfortunately, Tang Shun ignored her. Tang Shu stood up and prepared to return to her room. The show was almost over. ¡°Sister, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Tang Shu paused and quietly waited for him to continue. In this strange experience in the book, he was the biggest variable. However, Tang Shun did not have the courage to admit that he was reborn. This was equivalent to admitting to his sister that he had really watched her die in his previous life. He did not want to add fuel to the fire. He could only apologize. ¡°Sister, I¡¯ll definitely treat you well from now on. I¡¯m sorry. It was my fault in the past.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to say anymore.¡± Tang Shu interrupted him. At this moment, she only felt sad. The person he should apologize to from the bottom of his heart would never be able to hear his promise in this lifetime. She, Tang Shu, did not need it. Tang Shun¡¯s eyes were filled with guilt. Before he could say anything, his phone rang. He was about to reject the call but when he saw the caller ID, he answered the call nervously. As soon as the call went through, the voice on the other end instantly said, ¡°Tang Shun, our racing bet has been signed. If you don¡¯t come, you¡¯ll automatically forfeit. Don¡¯t blame us for being rude.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not up to you.¡± The mocking voice in the receiver seemed to mock Tang Shun¡¯s naivety. Tang Shun hung up the phone fiercely and slumped onto the couch with a headache. Tang Shu was close and could hear the contents of the phone call clearly. She remembered what was in the book. To make Tang Yuan happy, Tang Shun agreed to spend a lot of money at the underground auction to bid for the rarest diamond in the world. However, even if Tang Shun was the only young master of the Tang family, the money needed to bid for this treasure was far more than what he could currently afford. Therefore, Tang Shun took the risk on impulse and agreed to the gamble. Among the young masters of aristocratic families, they always liked to gamble for entertainment, and the biggest gamble was the racing bet that Tang Shun had signed the agreement with. Not only was this race extremely risky and dangerous of losing his life at any time, but once Tang Shun lost, he would also have to bear a high compensation. However, the prize money also carried an equal value. It was naturally fatal to Tang Shun, who was in urgent need of funds at that time. He had been bewitched by Tang Yuan and did not hesitate to participate in such a gamble. He had risked his life to win the bet just to give her a diamond that had no use other than to be admired. Thinking about it now, Tang Shun really regretted it. However, the agreement had been signed, and it was too late to back out. Tang Shun was a little embarrassed to let Tang Shu know the ins and outs of the matter, but he did not know that Tang Shu already knew everything. ¡°I have a way to help you,¡± Tang Shu said. ¡°What can you do? Be a good girl and go upstairs to bed. I¡¯ll be fine.¡± Tang Shu stood still and looked at the man in front of her. She did not have any kinship with him, but the moment Tang Shun apologized sincerely, she was still willing to help her biological brother on behalf of the original Tang Shun. Tang Shu was such a person. If others treated her well, she was willing to repay them with kindness multiple folds. She would never show mercy to people who deliberately made her unhappy. ¡°If I say there¡¯s a way, then there¡¯s a way. Agree to participate first,¡± Tang Shu said. ¡°Sister, this is serious. Do you know that this game¡ª¡± Chapter 7 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°I know.¡± Tang Shu interrupted him and looked at him coldly. ¡°I also know why you participated in this competition. Anyway, there¡¯s no other way. You can only trust me.¡± Tang Shu¡¯s irrefutable tone still intimidated Tang Shun. He looked at his domineering sister in front of him, at a loss. The words that she said that she knew why he was participating in the competition seemed to have grabbed his lifeline, making him not dare to ask any further. He could only listen to her. Oh well, his sister was only thinking of herself. He would not blame her if they lost in the end. He would just pay her back with his life for the pain she would have suffered in her previous life because of his own stupidity. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± Only then did Tang Shu go upstairs in satisfaction. When she reached the corner of the stairs, she suddenly paused. She slowly turned around and looked at Tang Shun, who was still in a daze. ¡°Can you send me back to my room?¡± How could she have forgotten? She did not even know which room Tang Shu was in! The next evening, Tang Shun went out with Tang Shu. Before leaving, Tang Shun was still feeling uneasy, but when he looked at his sister sitting beside him expressionlessly, the uncertainty in his heart dissipated. At worst, he would just treat it as accompanying his sister for one last time. As long as his sister was willing, he had no objections. Therefore, on the way to the racing arena, Tang Shun had a tragic expression on his face. Tang Shu held back her laughter and added fuel to the fire before getting out of the car. ¡°If you lose today, will you lose your life?¡± ¡°Not really.¡± Tang Shun looked miserable. ¡°But there¡¯s a price to pay for my life.¡± ¡°Like the property your mother left you under your name?¡± Tang Shun was stunned, and his heart sank. How could he have forgotten that in his previous life, he had lost the last bit of inheritance their mother had left them¡ªa forty percent stake in the Tang Corporation? ¡°You mean¡­¡± he murmured in horror, unable to believe the obvious answer. ¡°It¡¯s Tang An.¡± Their biological father, the greatest beneficiary after the deaths of Tang Shun and Tang Shu. Tang Shun¡¯s eyes were red. Even though he had his doubts, he did not dare to take them out easily because he did not have any evidence. However, if he thought about it carefully, he had been framed by Tang Yuan in his previous life and sent to prison. If not for Tang An¡¯s tacit approval, no matter how much Tang Yuan doted on him, she would never have had the guts to kill him. ¡°We¡­ we¡¯ll lose¡­¡± How could this be? Tang Shun felt as if someone had grabbed his heart. He had thought that he would be able to save his sister after his rebirth and that he would definitely change in this life. However, he did not expect that the fuse had long been buried by those two people. Even if he could foresee it, he could only watch helplessly as the matter developed in the same direction. In the end, the siblings would still walk toward destruction. The fireworks of hatred had already exploded in Tang Shun¡¯s chest. He gasped for breath as if he were being strangled. He was useless. This helpless feeling instantly sucked away all his strength. Tang Shun smiled bitterly and wanted to persuade Tang Shu to go home. Since things had come to this, he should not implicate his sister anymore. ¡°No. We¡¯ll win.¡± Tang Shun was suddenly called back to his senses. He looked up at his sister, who had straightened her back and was confident. ¡°You¡­ you mean¡­¡± ¡°I said we¡¯ll win.¡± Tang Shu was very proud of this. The car had already arrived at the venue while they were talking. As soon as they pushed open the door, the cheers from the arena resounded through the sky. The packed stands were filled with spectators who could not stop exclaiming at the big screen. On the screen, a racing car left the other contestants far behind. Tang Shu casually glanced at it and could not help but be surprised. This person¡¯s driving skills could compete with hers. The last person he would be able to call an opponent was his nemesis from the Intelligence Agency. Tang Shu¡¯s blood was finally ignited. She wondered if such a powerful person would compete with her in the same match. If her opponent was too weak, she would feel bored. ¡°Sister, what solution do you have? Tell me quickly!¡± Tang Shun asked anxiously. Tang Shu calmly pulled Tang Shun to the stands and pressed his shoulder to let him sit down. ¡°Just wait. I¡¯ve found help.¡± Tang Shun was still worried. Tang Shu did not want to talk to him anymore. She only pressed his shoulder and made him sit properly before going backstage alone to prepare. Chapter 8 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Brother, you¡¯re here! I was so worried about you.¡± Tang Yuan saw Tang Shun in the crowd as soon as she entered the stands. She pulled Tang Shun¡¯s sleeve and lowered her head pitifully. ¡°It¡¯s all my fault. If it weren¡¯t for me, you wouldn¡¯t have participated in such a dangerous competition. Why didn¡¯t you go backstage?¡± Tang Shun silently pulled back his sleeve and said in a low voice, ¡°Can¡¯t wait for me to forfeit?¡± ¡°Why would you say that?¡± Tang Yuan¡¯s eyes were red. ¡°Of course, I wouldn¡¯t anything to happen to you.¡± Tang Shun snorted. ¡°Hmph. I hope so.¡± He ignored Tang Yuan. With her watching from the side, it was not convenient for Tang Shun to go backstage to look for Tang Shu. He was worried that Tang Yuan would ruin things if she knew that Tang Shu was here. Backstage, Tang Shu found the registration desk and signed Tang Shun¡¯s name indifferently. Some of the people who came here to participate in the competition were in debt that they would never be able to repay in their entire lives. Some of them were sloppy but arrogant young masters, but none of them looked like young girls who had just reached adulthood. ¡°You really want to play this, little girl?¡± The young man behind the registration desk was dumbfounded. He kindly advised her, ¡°You should go home. This isn¡¯t for you.¡± ¡°Do you have racing clothes?¡± Tang Shu glanced at the shelves behind her and pointed at a set of clothes in the corner. ¡°Lend it to me.¡± The young man¡¯s jaw dropped, but he still took the clothes and gave them to her. ¡°I¡¯ll give you a ride. Be good. If you like to play with cars, you can drive slowly at home. There¡¯s no need to¡­¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Tang Shu took the clothes and went to the changing room, not taking his advice to heart at all. The young man watched as the girl¡¯s graceful figure slowly disappeared from his sight. He lowered his head and sighed regretfully. ¡°What a pity. It¡¯s probably difficult for such a beautiful girl to survive the competition.¡± As he spoke, the sunlight at the door was suddenly blocked by someone. The young man was used to it and lowered his head to tidy up the shelves. ¡°You won this round again, right? Isn¡¯t it boring?¡± That person walked closer with his long legs. His features gradually became clearer under the light. Even if one had seen that cold and thin face a thousand times, one still could not help but be stunned. ¡°Let me tell you something interesting.¡± The young man handed the man a bottle of water. The plastic bottle hanging with condensation was held by several long fingers. ¡°What?¡± ¡°Your fianc¨¦e signed up for the competition.¡± Tang Shu tidied up her clothes and walked into the racing track after confirming that no one could tell that she impersonated Tang Shun. Although it was called a competition venue, it was just a rather steep winding mountain road. A high-definition camera would be placed at intervals on the road, and the images captured by the camera would be directly projected onto the big screen of the audience. Tang Shu got into the car calmly. Fortunately, the racing cars were all arranged by the officials, so she did not have to worry about the quality difference. She fastened her seat belt expertly, released the handbrake, and squinted at the track before her. The noisy audience was silent for a moment. Then, with a gunshot from the starting point, a fierce cheer suddenly erupted. The five racing cars turned into sharp swords that swept up a cloud of dust as they rushed out of the starting point. The audience here carried their own chips. They did not have to take the field themselves. They just had to place bets before the race started on the racing cars they had high hopes for. Some people became rich overnight here, while others lost their entire fortune. However, it was much better to work hard in the competition. Tang Shu calmly stepped on the accelerator and rushed out first. Before the other cars could react, she had already rushed to the first turning point. ¡°Whose car is that? Why is it so fast?¡± ¡°Let me see¡­¡± Spectator A took the competition table and compared it carefully. He could not help but exclaim, ¡°It¡¯s Tang Shun. It¡¯s the Tang family¡¯s car!¡± ¡°The Tang family?¡± Everyone looked at Tang Shun in the audience. ¡°Isn¡¯t Young Master Tang sitting here? Who¡¯s competing?¡± ¡°Maybe he found a god? How much did he spend? Young Master Tang really invested a lot.¡± Tang Shun was rendered speechless by the sarcasm. Where did he find a god? However, he had no time to care about this now. He only knew that Tang Shu had not come out since she went backstage. He was so worried that he could not sit still. Just as Tang Shun was feeling uneasy, something happened on the field. Racing car number four rushed out to chase after Tang Shu, who was far ahead. The intention of this car was very obvious. It was not to win but to kill her. Tang Shu knew very well that this car had driven her to the edge of the cliff several times. It had forced her to either stop the car and admit defeat or roll down the cliff in the most despicable way. However, Tang Shu would not choose either path. She had never chosen the answer that others had arranged for her. She only trusted herself. Chapter 9 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Tang Shu suddenly turned the steering wheel. The wheels creaked under the burden and barely avoided another collision with car number four. However, the car was already driving dangerously at the edge of the cliff. A light collision would kill Tang Shu on the spot. Tang Shu¡¯s car had already been slightly damaged during the emergency avoidance just now. It would even sway slightly on the straight road, let alone on such a narrow and winding track. This damage was very fatal in a competition where one¡¯s life was on the line at any moment. Tang Shu knew what was going on, but she did not hesitate at all. She still chose to step on the accelerator. Her eyes stared intently at the movements of car number four. Car number four clearly did not intend to stop here. He slightly swung the car and hit Tang Shu¡¯s car again. Tang Shu relied on the loud friction sound of the car on the ground to predict the movements of car number four in advance. Once again, she brushed against the edge to avoid his collision. Seeing that Tang Shu¡¯s car could no longer avoid the edge, car number four drove steadily and triumphantly. Tang Shu found an opportunity and suddenly gritted her teeth when he was unprepared. She made the best judgment calmly. She yanked the wheel, temporarily putting her life behind her. The rear of the car suddenly swung to the right and slammed into the back of car number four. Tang Shu¡¯s car spun a few times on the narrow track before driving steadily forward again. Car number four had not expected her to be so crazy. Caught off guard, she knocked him out of the inner side and toward the cliff. He slammed on the brakes and turned the wheel. The right front wheel was already over the edge before he managed to stop. ¡°Damn, Tang Shun¡¯s driving skills are so good?¡± The person in car number four cursed at the walkie-talkie in his hand, ¡°I can¡¯t stop him anymore. I¡¯ll leave the rest to you.¡± However, the only response he got from the walkie-talkie was a mechanical rustling sound. Unable to get an answer, Zhu Lin could only temporarily abandon the racing car and stand on the inside side waiting for help. Even if he had received a large sum of money to do something, there was no reason for him to lose his life over this. The dust was kicked up by the fierce wind. In the distance, Zhu Lin could hear the sound of a huge car engine. He cursed under his breath and spat at the cliff, ¡°These b*stards. If they don¡¯t answer me, they¡¯ll be gone. They¡¯re still chasing us here. If you have¡­ what¡­ use¡­¡± The words stuck in his throat. Before Zhu Lin could wave for the car to stop and pick him up, an unmarked car suddenly brushed past him and turned the corner at the intersection ahead in a skillful drift. At this moment, Zhu Lin had no idea that the audience had completely erupted. The Tang family¡¯s car was already shocking enough. However, what was even more unexpected was that the legendary God of Racing came down the track personally. Not only did he overtake the other cars without any hesitation, but he also drove the car so fast that it flew into the air and chased after the Tang family¡¯s car. ¡°Damn, why did the God of Racing suddenly race here? Who did the Tang family find to force the God of Racing out?¡± Tang Shun was even more shocked. He suddenly had a vague guess in his heart but going backstage now meant that he would miss the follow-up on the field. He sat still and tried to calm his racing heart. ¡°It can¡¯t be Shu. How could it be her¡­?¡± The situation on the field changed rapidly. Everyone in the audience held their breaths, afraid that they would miss the exciting match in the blink of an eye. Tang Yuan grabbed the hem of her dress tightly. Seeing that Tang Shun¡¯s car was about to win, she could only hope that this God of Racing would suddenly appear and prevent that from happening. On the track, Tang Shu stared at the rear-view mirror. The car behind her was about to rear-end, but it had no intention of braking and slowing down. Tang Shu smiled slightly. She was finally interested. She wound down her window and waved defiantly at the car behind her. The black car behind her pulled away slightly, its headlights flashing. Tang Shu smiled and retracted her hand. She closed the window again and loosened the accelerator slightly to move closer to the mountain on the right. She seemed to be kind enough to make way. The black car racer did not stand on ceremony and took over the left lane. The two cars were neck and neck, and it was hard to tell who was better. Soon, the mountain tunnel was right in front of them. Approaching the tunnel meant that the competition was about to end. Tang Shu was the first to turn on the high beams. The accelerator did not relax because of the confusion. Taking advantage of the dark surroundings, she hid her driving position in the blind spot of the black racing car. The moment when the black racing car flashed its headlights, she almost forced the black racing car to stop beside her. Chapter 10 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The black racing car was not to be outdone. It only paused for a breath before quickly regaining its momentum. It stepped on the accelerator and charged forward. Tang Shu was already prepared. She quickly turned the steering wheel and adjusted her direction the moment the black racing car brushed past the back of the car. In the car, Colin tapped the steering wheel meaningfully, his smile deepening. ¡°You¡¯re the only one who can do anything with a wag.¡± Tang Shu did not know who was sitting in the black racing car, but she was very sure that this person must be the God of Racing she had glimpsed on the screen just now, not the trash who had tried to use despicable means to bring her down. She immediately adjusted her strategy, no longer troubled to catch up to the black racing car at her side. Tang Shu was such a person. She had always valued what she liked. Even though she liked to deviate from the orthodox path and follow her guts, she was very willing to follow the rules when it came to things that she really cared about. She openly proved that she was the strongest in this aspect. Therefore, after Tang Shu confirmed that the black racing car was not sent by Tang Yuan, she would no longer use any despicable methods to prevent him from leaving this dark tunnel, even though the outside world might not have a chance to know what happened here. She was going to make the driver of the black racing car submit to her in the most honorable manner. She was going to defeat him willingly. The person in the black racing car seemed to have the same thoughts as her. It was obvious that it was the easiest to do something in the dark tunnel, but he still chased after her and did not do anything else that would make Tang Shu unhappy. This made Tang Shu have a good impression of him. Such a person deserved to be called his opponent. ¡®Powerful and not shameless.¡¯ The tunnel exit was within sight. The light ahead was blinding, but neither of them gave way. Almost simultaneously, they burst out of the tunnel and into view again. At this point, the competition was already in a stalemate. After the last sharp turn, they would enter the finish line. Victory or defeat depended on this. Tang Shu focused on the sharp turn in front of her. Normally, racers would slow down because the sharp turn was different from ordinary turns. Racing at high speed would cause the car to flip over. On the other side was a cliff. The consequences were obvious. However, Tang Shu never cared about this when she went crazy. She held the steering wheel tightly in her hand. Just like in countless competitions in her previous life, she made a difficult drift. The left wheel was already dangerously close to the edge of the cliff before she stabilized the car. The advantage of this was that it would not affect the speed of the car. With Tang Shu¡¯s proficiency, she could easily make a quick turn after drifting and head straight for the finish line. After Tang Shu finished this series of actions, she looked at the black racing car in the rear-view mirror proudly. When she made the sharp turn just now, she could do it boldly, but it did not mean that others could do it too. Moreover, she had deliberately pulled her drift arc. There was almost no place for the black racing car to drift. It could only slow down and turn. However, to Tang Shu¡¯s surprise, the black racing car accurately blocked the gap between her and the mountain. The car was almost standing in the middle of the turn. When it drove on the straight road, the car was lowered heavily, and the ground trembled slightly with his movements. Tang Shu secretly praised him in her heart. Even she was only 50% confident in completing such a difficult operation. In an emergency situation like the one earlier, this person could still be calm and quickly think of a countermeasure. Tang Shu was even more respectful with this driver she had never met. The two cars sped along the final straight track. Tang Shu gritted her teeth, her eyes becoming more and more determined. The car swayed slightly from side to side under the long continuous high speed. She clenched the steering wheel in her hand. Even though that person had used that trick to resolve the crisis, the speed of the car moving sideways was clearly not as fast as her drifting speed. The two cars crossed the finish line almost at the same time on the screen. However, if one were to slow down and take a closer look, Tang Shu¡¯s car was only 0.1 seconds ahead of the black car. When the results of the competition lit up on the big screen, some people were happy while others were sad. Tang Yuan almost gritted her teeth. She ignored Tang Shun beside her and panted heavily as she hid in a corner to make a call. ¡°What did you do? Did you take our Tang family¡¯s money as a joke?¡± Zhu Lin squatted with a bitter smile. ¡°Miss, the person your brother found is too powerful. He¡¯s on a completely different level from me. What do you want me to do? I really did my best.¡± Chapter 11 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°I don¡¯t care.¡± Tang Yuan stomped her foot hatefully. ¡°I don¡¯t care what you do. You can¡¯t let her walk out of the arena unscathed.¡± Zhu Lin cursed silently as he heard the busy line on the phone. B*tch. The arena was filled with the descendants of the various families that he could not afford to offend. She really did not treat him as a human being by letting him make a move here. No matter how reluctant he was, he could only follow her orders. Who asked him to take her money? The moment the results of the competition were out, Tang Shun jumped up from his chair and ran backstage. He wanted to find Tang Shu. Only by seeing her could he dispel the doubts in his heart. ¡°Sister!¡± In the changing room backstage, Tang Shu pretended to be sleepy and walked out. When she saw Tang Shun, she quickly put on a happy smile. ¡°Did we win?¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Tang Shun looked her up and down uncertainly. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you come back for me?¡± Tang Shu yawned. ¡°I was too sleepy just now, so I went inside to take a nap.¡± Tang Shun was suspicious and probed, ¡°We won. Sister, where¡¯s the God of Racing you found? We have to thank him properly.¡± ¡°Just transfer the money to him later. I have his bank account.¡± Tang Shu walked out the backstage casually. When she passed by the registration counter, the young man behind the counter had already disappeared. Tang Shun looked up at Tang Shu, who was walking in front of him. Her soft hair naturally hung behind her, and her slender waist was tightly wrapped in a short-sleeved shirt. When she walked, her footsteps were weak, and she looked weak. Tang Shun originally wanted to ask in detail, but seeing that his sister really looked tired, he endured it. ¡°Let¡¯s take the reward and go home. You must be tired. Let¡¯s talk when we get home.¡± Tang Shun subconsciously denied his guess. How could he ridiculously think that the racing driver with superb driving skills was his sister? Tang Shu did not know how to drive. Tang Shun was certain of that. He shook his head and laughed at himself for going crazy today. He extinguished the last of his doubts. At the podium, Tang Shun held Tang Shu¡¯s arm and looked at the check in silence. A bonus of eighty million yuan. In his previous life, to obtain this money, he had lost more than 80 million shares. The check in his palm did not make Tang Shun the least bit happy. Only he knew that what he had once lost was truly priceless. Tang Shu saw his emotions. It was impossible for his biological sister, whom he wanted to compensate, to come back. However, as his fake sister, she could stay and act with him. It made him feel guilty. ¡°Brother Zhu, when are we going to do it?¡± A young man in a white shirt and ripped jeans was playfully chewing on a cigarette butt that was about to burn out. He was hiding behind the wall and observing the siblings. Zhu Lin narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment. ¡°I¡¯ll call Boss Tang to confirm. We can¡¯t just listen to that girl. We still have to discuss it with Boss Tang.¡± The call was quickly picked up. Zhu Lin immediately put on a fawning smile. Even though he knew that the person on the other end of the phone could not see, he still smiled humbly. ¡°Boss Tang, I¡¯m sorry. The driver your son found is too powerful. We¡¯re not his match, but there are only the two of them now. Do you think we should do it?¡± The man on the other end of the line was silent for a moment. Then he exhaled and said in a deep voice, ¡°Do it but don¡¯t kill him. Just make sure he never stands up again.¡± ¡°Alright, don¡¯t worry. We¡¯ll settle this for you no matter what.¡± As Zhu Lin spoke, he glanced at the lecherous looks of his lackeys beside him. He mustered his courage and said, ¡°Then Tang Shu¡­¡± ¡°Up to you.¡± Tang An did not hesitate at all. He had no feelings for his ex-wife, not to mention the children she had left behind. If he had not wanted her family¡¯s funds, he would not have married that woman! It was all that woman¡¯s fault that he could not be with the person he loved openly, and that his precious daughter could only be an illegitimate daughter. Now that the woman was finally dead, her children did not have to stay and get in the way. As long as he obtained the inheritance that the woman had left for Tang Shun, his company would completely belong to him, and he would not have to be restrained by her family. Zhu Lin quickly smiled when he heard this. ¡°Alright, with your words, I¡¯ll¡­¡± Before Zhu Lin could finish expressing his loyalty, Tang An hung up. ¡°Old b*stard.¡± Despite his curses, Zhu Lin could not keep the joy from his heart. Chapter 12 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Tang Shu was a beauty. It seemed that the men were lucky tonight. ¡°Big Brother, what should we do? What did the higher-ups say?¡± The lackey stubbed out his cigarette. Looking at Zhu Lin, he knew that there was a chance. As expected, Zhu Lin nodded vigorously. The few of them were overjoyed and wished they could rush up and strip Tang Shu naked. Tang Shun brought Tang Shu around the arena and walked toward the parking lot. His heart ached for his sister¡¯s fatigue, so he took a shortcut. Unexpectedly, a few hooligans suddenly appeared on the path. They looked at the beautiful Tang Shu with sinister smiles, their intentions self-evident. Tang Shun¡¯s eyes widened as anger shot through him. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Zhu Lin rubbed his fists and stared at Tang Shu lecherously. ¡°Kid, let us play with your sister. If you don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you, we¡¯ll teach you a lesson.¡± ¡°How dare you!¡± Tang Shun could not take it anymore. He no longer had the demeanor of a young master of the Tang family. He rushed forward and punched Zhu Lin. Unfortunately, Zhu Lin and the others had fought more battles than Tang Shun. They were all local hooligans who had been dating everywhere and were experienced in fights since they were young. They were all involved in stealing and robbing. After spending a few years in the police station, they were willing to do anything as long as it was a paid job. How could Tang Shun be their match? Furthermore, these hooligans had the intention to be ruthless. Zhu Lin kicked Tang Shun against the wall. He signaled the others to hurry up. They still had delicious food to enjoy. Tang Shun endured the pain in his abdomen and forced himself to get up from the ground. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He spat out a mouthful of blood and rushed forward desperately. He had already lost his sister once. He had to protect her this time. His reckless stance made these people feel troubled. They exchanged glances with each other. The hooligans rolled up their sleeves and ruthlessly stepped on Tang Shun, kicking and beating him. Tang Shun struggled to protect his head and raise it. His words were slurred. ¡°Run¡­ Run.¡± Tang Shu watched this scene coldly. Tang Shun¡¯s desperate look finally touched the softest part of her heart. Even though the man was trying to protect his sister, not her, she could not help but be touched. Tang Shu raised her leg and kicked Zhu Lin¡¯s back. Zhu Lin was caught off guard and staggered to the ground. Tang Shun was so anxious that his eyes were red. ¡°Leave me alone. Run!¡± ¡°Brother.¡± This was the first time Tang Shu had called him that. She called him from the bottom of her heart, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid.¡± Tang Shun stood rooted to the ground, his blood boiling. Only then did he realize that his sister had not called him brother for a long time. Did she just forgive himself¡­? However, now was not the time for that! Tang Shun¡¯s entire body was in pain and covered in wounds. He endured the pain and swallowed the blood that surged up his throat. He shouted at the top of his lungs, ¡°Sister! Stop fooling around! You¡¯re not their match. Run! Run!¡± ¡°None of you will escape! Little girl, we wanted to be gentle with you, but we didn¡¯t expect you to be so ungrateful.¡± Zhu Lin held his back and stood up with difficulty. He pointed at Tang Shu with a ferocious expression. ¡°Brothers, let¡¯s deal with this little girl first. We can show her good brother how we take care of his precious sister.¡± Tang Shun lay on the ground and tried to prop himself up, but it was very difficult for him to move again. ¡°No, I can¡¯t.¡± Tears welled in his panicked eyes. He could not see any more harm come to his sister. It was worse than killing him. ¡°Behave yourself.¡± The punk in jeans kicked at Tang Shun, who was on the ground. Unexpectedly, a pair of delicate hands grabbed his wrist tightly. Tang Shu grabbed his wrist and pulled it out. ¡°If you dare to touch him, I¡¯ll kill you.¡± The sound of breaking bones was clearly audible in the secluded path. The hooligans immediately wailed in pain. Zhu Lin looked at his brother in panic and then at the gentle Tang Shu. His blood surged. ¡°How dare you hit my brother? Attack! I¡¯ll make her suffer today.¡± Tang Shu let go of her hand in disdain. ¡°You¡¯re courting death.¡± She nimbly leaned back and dodged a person¡¯s fist. The wind from the palm brushed past her temple. She took the opportunity to grab the person¡¯s arm and easily threw him over her shoulder to the ground. Zhu Lin was the most scheming. He circled behind her and wanted to launch a sneak attack. Unexpectedly, she seemed to have eyes on her back. Tang Shu nimbly dodged his dagger and pinched his wrist bone, twisting half of his arm. Chapter 13 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Only then did they realize that they were afraid. They quickly lay on the ground and begged for mercy. Tang Shu did not intend to let them off so easily. She stepped on Zhu Lin, spun the dagger in her hand, and put it to his throat. ¡°Tell me, who sent you?¡± Zhu Lin rolled his shifty eyes and glanced at Tang Shu¡¯s hand fearfully. ¡°Miss, please¡­ Please put the knife away.¡± The dagger in his neck came a little closer, slicing the skin under the blade and drawing a line of blood. Zhu Lin screamed and ducked back. ¡°I was wrong, Miss. I¡¯ll tell you. I¡¯ll tell you everything. It¡¯s Tang An!¡± Tang Shun, who was leaning against the wall, suddenly froze. His limbs were cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He was not a fool. It must not have been a coincidence that he had been ambushed right after he had collected his rewards. However, it was one thing to know in his heart. It was another thing to hear someone admit it themselves. His bright eyes seemed to dim. He smiled bitterly and lowered his head. His body seemed to have lost its strength. Tang Shu put away the knife. She had never planned to kill anyone in front of Tang Shun. She was just threatening Zhu Lin to tell the truth. ¡°Sister.¡± Tang Shun pushed himself up and stood, trembling. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ve already informed the driver. He can handle this.¡± Tang Shu did not object. She threw down the knife and helped Tang Shun out of the path. Seeing that the injured Tang Shun still wanted to sit in the driver¡¯s seat, Tang Shu subconsciously stopped him. Tang Shun smiled gently and comforted her. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Besides, you don¡¯t know how to drive. I¡¯ll just go to the hospital and bandage my wound.¡± Tang Shu did not retort. She let go and sat in the front passenger seat. ¡°Hey, Boss, they¡¯ve driven off.¡± The driver, Liu Dezang, was hiding around the corner, making furtive phone calls. Tang An leaned back in his chair and pinched the space between his eyebrows with tired fingers. ¡°Follow them and create some accidents on the way. Tell Zhu Lin and the others that even if they kill someone, I can bail them out. Don¡¯t worry. If we do it well, they will receive what they deserve.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Liu Dezang helped Zhu Lin up from the ground and secretly lamented that Young Master Tang looked like a dumb playboy. He did not expect him to be so good at fighting. Zhu Lin winced as he touched the blood on his neck. Liu Dezang relayed Tang An¡¯s words to him word for word. Zhu Lin thought for a moment and raised two fingers. ¡°Add another twenty million and I¡¯ll run these two over.¡± Liu Dezang hated greedy people like him. ¡°I can¡¯t make the decision. Go talk to the boss yourself. But you¡¯ve already failed twice today. If you don¡¯t succeed, I¡¯m afraid the boss won¡¯t let you off the hook.¡± Eyes narrowed, Zhu Lin nodded. ¡°Then wait for my good news.¡± He called a few more men and got into the car that had been prepared in advance in the parking lot. He followed the car¡¯s location sent by Liu Dezang and slammed on the accelerator to catch up. The downtown area was packed with cars. Tang Shun¡¯s driving skills were not very good, and it was even more difficult to move in this long traffic jam. If Tang Shu had driven the car personally, she would have found a gap to overtake the car. However, Tang Shun clearly did not have this skill. After about twenty minutes of traffic jam, the traffic finally eased out. However, after turning down a street, Tang Shu keenly sensed that there was a car following behind her. If Tang An and Tang Yuan did not give up and sent people over, it would not be easy to deal with them. The person driving was Tang Shun. Tang Shu did not have a gun in her hand, so she could not do anything. She thought for a moment, then suddenly softened her tone. ¡°Brother, I¡¯m a little carsick. Can you stop and let me rest?¡± Tang Shun naturally prioritized her. Hearing this, he was worried that she would feel carsick and uncomfortable. He quickly stepped on the brakes and stopped by the roadside. Tang Shu got out of the car. She looked around and saw several cars parked around them. She sneered and pulled Tang Shun into a remote alley. ¡°Just hide here.¡± Tang Shun immediately felt that something was wrong and quickly grabbed Tang Shu¡¯s arm. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Tang Shu narrowed her eyes. Her ears were sharp enough to catch the sound of messy footsteps. ¡°The rats chased after us.¡± Tang Shun was immediately alarmed. He grabbed Tang Shu and was about to escape from the other exit of the alley. Tang Shu pushed his hand away. ¡°You go first. Don¡¯t let them catch you.¡± Chapter 14 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Don¡¯t even think about leaving!¡± Zhu Lin held an iron rod in his hand and led more than twenty hooligans to seal their entrance. No matter how good this woman was at fighting, he did not believe that she could defeat so many of them alone! ¡°Didn¡¯t I ask the driver to deal with you guys? Why are you still here?¡± Tang Shun was confused and felt guilty. There were so many people. Were they really going to die here? Tang Shu sneered in her heart. ¡°Is there a need to ask? The rats are already crawling in front of us. Of course, something happened to the person in charge of watching the rats.¡± She grabbed Tang Shun backhanded to make sure he would not give her any trouble if they got into a fight. Then she looked provocatively at Zhu Lin, who was the leader. ¡°Are you going to die together?¡± Zhu Lin instinctively cringed, but if he admitted defeat in front of so many people, he would not have the face to mingle in the underworld anymore. He raised his iron rod and pointed at Tang Shu. ¡°Brothers, break their legs!¡± More than twenty people swarmed forward in an aggressive manner. They already felt that Zhu Lin had mobilized a little too many people. Why would he need so many people to deal with a man and a woman? Tang Shu grabbed Tang Shun with one hand and grabbed an iron rod with the other. She kicked the other party¡¯s vital parts fiercely. While the other party was in pain and relaxed, she snatched the iron rod and handed it to Tang Shun. ¡°For self-defense.¡± Tang Shun took it in disbelief. When did his sister become so strong? Was this still his gentle and weak sister? Tang Shu did not have time to be in a daze. If she was alone, she would be able to resolve this small situation quickly. However, she still had to bring along Tang Shun, this burden, and it was a little difficult to deal with him. The reason why Tang Shu brought Tang Shun out of the car was that she was afraid that something would happen to Tang Shun if he was alone in the car. At that time, she would still have to save him. Instead of causing trouble, it was better to tie him tightly to her. She pulled Tang Shun around. The iron rod barely brushed past her temple and hit the ground hard. Tang Shu raised her leg and kicked the other party¡¯s abdomen, causing him to vomit a mouthful of blood and be unable to stand up again. At this moment, everyone finally understood why Zhu Lin had brought so many men. This woman was difficult to deal with. She was extremely skilled. Surrounded by so many of them, she could still beat them until they could not get close and there was nothing they could do. Tang Shu was extremely calm. She did not show any mercy and quickly scanned her surroundings. She aimed at a gap in the encirclement and pulled Tang Shun out of the crowd. Tang Shun shouted at Tang Shu. The hooligans who originally did not want to take their lives only wanted to teach this woman a lesson and avenge their injured brothers. For a moment, no one cared about him. Tang Shu released her right hand and could finally show off her skills. As a bounty hunter in her previous life, her experience and methods of killing were not something these hooligans could compare to. She stopped fighting and quickly dealt with these twenty people. Tang Shun leaned against the wall to support his trembling body. His heart sank as he looked at his sister standing alone amid the wailing. Tang Shu kicked Zhu Lin away and walked to Tang Shun¡¯s side to support his trembling body. ¡°Who are you?¡± Tang Shun coughed lightly, holding his aching chest, and squeezing out the words with difficulty. Tang Shu suddenly stopped in her tracks. She lowered her head and looked at Tang Shun coldly. ¡°I¡¯m Tang Shu.¡± Tang Shun looked straight at her. There was no emotion in his eyes, but his mind was in turmoil. His rebirth could no longer be explained by science. He originally thought that this was a blessing from the heavens for him to be reborn. However, after his rebirth, Tang Shun slowly realized that he was not the only one who was different from his previous life. Tang Shu was also different. In his previous life, his soft-hearted sister had single-handedly overturned the encirclement of more than twenty people. The most logical explanation he could think of was that she was no longer his sister. Or that her sister had been reborn. The thought lingered in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more alarmed he became. Tang Shun swallowed with difficulty and moistened his dry throat. He stared into her eyes seriously and asked the question in his heart again, insisting on an answer, ¡°Who are you?¡± Tang Shu let go of his hand and bent down to smile sweetly. ¡°Brother, I¡¯m your sister.¡± Chapter 15 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Tang Shu was not afraid of exposing her identity at all. She had read this novel in its entirety. She had a clear understanding of Tang Shu¡¯s experience, personality, and perspective. Even if Tang Shun suspected her, he would not find any substantial evidence. There was no proof. According to Tang Shun¡¯s indecision, he would persuade himself to compromise while wavering. He would subconsciously believe the most precious sister in his heart. As expected, when Tang Shun saw this familiar face smiling at him as innocently as when he was young and calling him brother sweetly, most of the suspicion in his heart had unconsciously dissipated. In the depths of his heart, guilt had always occupied the peak of his feelings for Tang Shu. He could not forgive himself for what he had done to her. The guilt and remorse drove him more to believe that his sister had changed only out of self-preservation rather than the truth he was vaguely aware of. He was running away from that truth because that would mean that his sister knew exactly what he had done. He could not even imagine how she would feel about facing the brother who had hurt her when she found out what had become of him. Would she still smile at him? Perhaps she would never want to see him again and would do everything in her power to escape this house. Her smile was so sincere as if she had trusted him from the bottom of her heart, relied on him, and treated him as her pillar. Her strange behavior stemmed from a long period of bullying and oppression. She was trying to protect herself. Perhaps she had just learned these self-defense moves somewhere and then stimulated her potential in a hurry? Although this reason would seem far-fetched to an outsider, it was the result that Tang Shun was most willing to accept. He was selfish, weak, and could not take on any major responsibilities. The only thing he wanted to do in this life was to protect his sister and be safe and happy for the rest of her life. Tang Shun lowered his head and looked at his sorry figure. He said dejectedly, ¡°It¡¯s all my fault for being useless and needing your protection. Don¡¯t worry, it won¡¯t happen again. I¡¯ll try my best to be a powerful brother so that you can rely on me in peace.¡± Tang Shu fell silent. The series of excuses she had thought of was useless. It seemed that Tang Shun was even more incompetent than she had imagined. A man living such a cowardly life did not even dare to ask for the truth. Even if he had doubts in his heart, he did not dare to delve deeper. He was only afraid that he could not bear the consequences of facing the truth. How much could such a man¡¯s promise be trusted? Tang Shu did not know, and she did not care about his promise. She had always done things her own way and carried out the most secret and bloody missions in the darkest places. She would long since get used to being on her own. No one but her nemesis at the agency could really walk into her line of sight and get her attention. However, the fact that Tang Shun could think like this saved her a lot of trouble. She was not a talkative person to begin with. If he made her laugh like that and call a man brother like that, she would really feel a little nauseous. Tang Shu nodded slightly as an answer to him. She supported him again and called a taxi to go straight to the hospital. The twenty or so people here had waited for them to leave, thinking that they could finally escape. Zhu Lin scrambled to his feet, fumbling in his pocket for a cigarette. Before he could find a lighter and light it, a shadow fell over his head. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the man in a suit with an extremely good face. He sneered and said, ¡°Where did this pretty boy come from? I¡¯m in a bad mood now. Get lost. Don¡¯t make me beat you up.¡± The man raised his eyelids lazily and glanced at them. ¡°If you dare to attack Tang Shu again, I¡¯ll cut off your hands.¡± He said it casually, and his voice was extremely deep and pleasant. However, such fierce words came out of the mouth of a beautiful man without any deterrence. Laughing sarcastically, Zhu Lin rose. ¡°You?¡± As if they had heard a joke, the surrounding lackeys also came up to size him up with malicious and mocking gazes. If it were anyone else, they would probably instantly lose their imposing manner and have nowhere to hide. However, this man was clearly not like others. He completely ignored the surrounding gazes that were sizing him up. He only looked at Zhu Lin lazily as if he was not looking at anything. His eyes were supercilious. ¡°Understood.¡± Unhurriedly, he removed the watch from his wrist and slipped it into his pocket. When Zhu Lin and the others saw his stance, they could not help but laugh. ¡°You¡¯re a gentle and pretty boy like a weak scholar. Do you still want to fight?¡± Chapter 16 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Zhu Lin and the others were all injured and had nowhere to vent their anger after being beaten up by a young lady. They did not expect a brat to happen to come. They finally found a way to vent their anger. However, Tang Shu had really traumatized them. Zhu Lin stopped one of his men who was about to attack and asked tentatively, ¡°Did Tang Shu ask you to come?¡± The man raised an eyebrow. ¡°No.¡± The hooligan covered his bleeding arm and frowned impatiently. ¡°Brother, this kid might have taken a fancy to that girl from the Tang family. We can¡¯t let him step on us.¡± Zhu Lin looked around and saw that the man came alone. He felt a little more confident and spoke firmly, ¡°If you want to interfere in this matter, you need to have the ability.¡± The man nodded and did not comment. Unlike Tang Shu, who could only attack passively in consideration of Tang Shun¡¯s presence. The man did not have so many scruples. He attacked first. He was clearly unarmed, but he made it impossible for people to get close to him. In a few moves, the ground was filled with people. Zhu Lin trembled as he gripped the iron rod in his hand tightly. He was no longer as arrogant as before. ¡°W-Who are you?¡± Colin thought for a moment, then smiled suddenly. ¡°Isn¡¯t that what you said? Her admirer.¡± At this moment, night was falling. The headlights drew a line on the dark road as the car stopped steadily in front of Tang¡¯s house. Tang Shu helped Tang Shun out of the car. Tang Yuan¡¯s biological mother, Han Mei, hurriedly came out to welcome them. ¡°Why are you injured? What happened?¡± Han Mei helped Tang Shun up worriedly and looked at Tang Shu reproachfully. ¡°Girl, why didn¡¯t you call me when something so serious happened to your brother? I can send a chauffeur to pick you up.¡± ¡°Nothing serious.¡± Tang Shun pretended to avoid Han Mei¡¯s touch. ¡°Don¡¯t blame my sister. She did nothing wrong.¡± Han Mei looked at him in surprise. She pursed her lips and silently helped him sit down at the dining table. ¡°You¡¯re back. Why are you injured?¡± Tang An sat at the table with a frown and asked Tang Shu sternly, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell your family that your brother was seriously injured? Or did you cause trouble and harm your brother?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Sister. Brother has never fought with anyone. Why is he so injured after only going out with you for a day?¡± Tang Yuan¡¯s heart ached as she took the medicine and was about to apply it to Tang Shun¡¯s wound. Tang Shun dodged in disgust. ¡°I told you, it¡¯s not Shu¡¯s fault. The wound is nothing serious. I¡¯ve already gone to the hospital. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡± ¡°Tang Shun!¡± Tang An slammed the table angrily. ¡°Is this how you talk to your family? We¡¯re just worried about you.¡± Han Mei saw that Tang An was angry, so she carried the dishes out of the kitchen. ¡°Hubby, calm down. Shun didn¡¯t mean to contradict you. He has always listened to you the most. He must¡¯ve suffered outside today. Hurry up and eat. The dishes are getting cold.¡± Han Mei beckoned Tang Shun to sit on Tang An¡¯s left and signaled her daughter to sit beside him. Only then did she seem to remember Tang Shu, who was still sitting on the couch. ¡°You should go eat too.¡± ¡°Sister, sit beside me.¡± Tang Shun pulled Tang Shu¡¯s hand and sat in the empty seat on Tang Shun¡¯s right. Han Mei could only smile awkwardly and sit beside Tang Yuan. Tang Yuan and Han Mei looked at each other thoughtfully. She eagerly scooped a bowl of soup and handed it to Tang Shun. ¡°Brother, Mom specially made this for you. It¡¯s your favorite pork rib soup. Try it.¡± Tang Shun took the soup bowl and handed it to Tang Shu. ¡°Sister, eat more. Look at how thin you are.¡± Tang Yuan retracted her hand resentfully. Han Mei smiled kindly and said, ¡°I haven¡¯t seen you siblings so harmonious in a long time. I used to say that if you doted on Yuan Yuan like that, Shu would definitely be unhappy.¡± These words poked at Tang Shun¡¯s heart. He recalled how his stupid self had been fooled by Tang Yuan. ¡°Brother, eat some vegetables.¡± Tang Shu put some vegetables into Tang Shun¡¯s bowl and interrupted his thoughts. Tang An had eaten this dish before. Tang Shu was relieved to eat it before giving it to Tang Shun. Although the original book did not have the plot of Han Mei poisoning them, the direction of the matter was already very different from the original book. It was difficult to guarantee that the family of three would still follow the same routine as in the book. Many things, even if unlikely, had to be guarded against. Chapter 17 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Tang An watched the interaction between the siblings coldly. At first, when she heard Tang Yuan mention Tang Shun¡¯s changes, Tang An did not believe her. She thought that it was because Tang Yuan had done something to anger Tang Shun that he deliberately pretended to ignore her and anger her. After all, Tang Shun had always been obedient to Tang Yuan in the past. However, in this short period of time tonight, Tang An quickly recognized reality. How was Tang Shun putting on an act? He was clearly doting on Tang Shu from the bottom of his heart. ¡®When did the siblings make up?¡¯ Tang An coughed lightly and asked calmly, ¡°It¡¯s almost Shun¡¯s birthday. Do you have any gifts you want? Let Yuan Yuan accompany you to buy them. Dad will pay for them. As long as you¡¯re happy.¡± Tang Shun put down his chopsticks and watched expressionlessly as Tang An pretended to be a kind father. He felt disgusted, but he did not have the ability to resist now. He could only feign civility. ¡°There¡¯s one thing I want, but it¡¯s a little expensive.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Tang An felt that something was wrong, but once he said it, he could only brace himself and ask further. It was rare that Tang Shun did not cower in front of his father. Thinking of what he had done today, Tang Shun only felt that it was not worth it for his biological mother. ¡°I¡¯m not young anymore. I can¡¯t idle around all day. Didn¡¯t my mother invest in Tang Entertainment when she married into the Tang family? According to my mother¡¯s last wish, I should be the director of this company. I want to inherit this company. In the future, Tang Entertainment will be managed by me and transferred to my name.¡± ¡°Impossible!¡± Tang An could no longer pretend. He looked at his son with a ferocious expression. Tang Entertainment was the most outstanding company in the Tang family. He had worked hard for many years and all the profits of the company should belong to him. How could he give it up to a young kid? Tang An subconsciously turned the jade ring on his finger. This action represented precaution. ¡°If you want to gain experience, you can do it at other companies. There¡¯s no need to go to Tang Entertainment. I still have some ready-made small companies. You can choose any one of them. I can give it to you.¡± Tang Shun sneered in his heart. It was ridiculous that he had listened to him and respected him for so many years, but he would always only have eyes for him and those two women. There had never been a place for him and his sister. Tang Shun refused to back down. ¡°This is the only company my mother left for my sister and me. This is the dowry my mother brought from the Mu family. I only want this.¡± ¡°Only this one won¡¯t do!¡± Tang An stood up angrily and paced back and forth with his back facing them. After thinking for a while, he turned around again and said in a stern tone, ¡°Do you know what this company means to the Tang family? Tang Shun, do you only have your dead mother in your eyes? Don¡¯t forget that your surname is also Tang! You¡¯re my son, so you should think about the Tang family!¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Tang Shun stood up as he could not take it anymore. His voice was a little choked up. He felt that it was not worth it for him, for Tang Shu, and for his mother, Mu Xiyan, who had died with hatred. ¡°Do you still treat me as your biological son? Then look at my injuries! Tell me who caused my injuries!¡± Tang An fell silent. He stared at his son in front of him. A cold light glint in his eyes. Tang Shu sighed softly. Tang Shun still could not hold it in. He had revealed his trump card so quickly. It seemed that it would not be so easy to get back the company. However, she had never had any say in the Tang family, and she was unwilling to get involved in these troublesome matters. She just sat at the side and seriously stirred the pork rib soup in her bowl. Seeing that the father and son were about to fall out, Han Mei quickly tried to smooth things over. ¡°Little Shun, how can you talk to your father like that? How did your father know how you got injured? When you first came back, didn¡¯t we all ask you? In this family, only you make your father think about you the most. He loves you the most. Hurry up and apologize to your father.¡± Tang Shun smiled self-deprecatingly. Tang An missed him the most¡­ He probably missed the money his mother had left him! Tang Yuan hurriedly got up and went to Tang Shun¡¯s side. She tugged at his sleeve obediently like before. ¡°Brother, don¡¯t make Daddy angry. Apologize to Daddy. Did I do something wrong? Do you not like me? If you do, just say it. I¡¯ll listen to you. I¡¯ll change.¡± Chapter 18 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Tang Shun pulled back his sleeve. His anger was suddenly interrupted by Han Mei and Tang Yuan. Only then did he realize that he had said something he should not have said just now. He sat back in his chair dejectedly. Although his tone was firm, he was no longer as arrogant as before. ¡°But Tang Entertainment was left behind by my mother, and I have the most shares. Sooner or later, won¡¯t I have to inherit it?¡± When Tang An heard his son say this, he knew that he had loosened up a little. He immediately sat back down happily and said earnestly, ¡°Although your mother paid for this company to be established, your mother has never managed it. I¡¯ve been running the company for so many years. I was the one who led a group of old generals to build it up. That¡¯s how it grew until now.¡± ¡°It¡¯s true that you have shares in the company and you want to take over, but I¡¯m afraid the other shareholders won¡¯t accept you easily. They¡¯re all old foxes who have been around for their entire lives. It would be strange if a child like you doesn¡¯t cause trouble to take over such a big company.¡± He raised his hand and gently patted the top of Tang Shun¡¯s head. ¡°You¡¯re my only son. Can I not think for you? Just listen to me and choose a small company to train in. When you really have the ability to inherit the company, who else can I leave the company to?¡± Tang An¡¯s words were sincere. If Tang Shun had not been reborn, he would have been deceived by him. Tang Shun bit his lower lip, knowing that he was telling the truth. It was all his fault for being too much of a playboy in the past. He only knew how to fool around and have fun. He knew nothing about running a proper company. He wanted to take back the company that belonged to his mother. He could not just watch it be destroyed in his hands. It seemed that this matter could only be discussed slowly. Tang Shun gave in and nodded. He picked up the spoon again and stirred the soup in the bowl. Seeing that he had convinced his son, Tang An beamed. Han Mei was even more delighted. Even her appetite had improved. Tang Yuan was the happiest. Tang Yuan was already signed to Tang Entertainment. Looking at how Tang Shun doted on Tang Shu, once the company was taken over by Tang Shun, Tang Entertainment would no longer be able to serve her. Now that the crisis was over, Tang Yuan looked proudly at Tang Shu, who was eating with her head lowered. She was secretly delighted. ¡®Even if Brother has changed and doesn¡¯t dote on me anymore, with Dad around, you¡¯re still nothing in the Tang family!¡¯ Everyone had their own thoughts during the meal. After the meal, Tang Shu did not want to look at these faces anymore and returned to her room first. In any case, she had no status in the hearts of the Tang family. No one would ever care what she wanted to do, so she was happy to be at ease. Tang Shun regretted his rashness. After eating, he returned to his room dejectedly and prepared to look at the other companies under Tang An. After his son left, Tang An quietly returned to the study and dialed the number on the top of his phone. ¡°Zhu Lin, what did you do? Why did Tang Shun return in one piece and know that I was the mastermind?¡± Although Zhu Lin felt guilty, his anger rose as he looked at his wailing brothers beside him. ¡°Boss Tang, you still have the cheek to say that? Yes, I didn¡¯t succeed, but do you know how badly my brothers were injured because of you? Why didn¡¯t you say that your daughter is so skilled? And that man, my arm was broken by him!¡± ¡°What skills?¡± Tang An frowned in confusion. Tang Shu had never even practiced basic self-defense. Where did she get her skills from? He only thought that Zhu Lin was looking for an excuse for his incompetence and felt even angrier. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that there was nothing you couldn¡¯t do? According to you, there are so many of you, but you can¡¯t even defeat a woman?¡± Zhu Lin felt aggrieved. It would be embarrassing if word got out, but now was not the time to lose face. There were so many brothers injured, so there had to be an explanation. ¡°Pfft! That daughter of yours can fight! There¡¯s also a man who dislocated more than twenty of our arms. I have a brother who had several ribs broken! You didn¡¯t say that they had such powerful helpers! I don¡¯t care. You have to pay for the medical fees. We can¡¯t be beaten for nothing. Your money isn¡¯t enough for us to see a doctor!¡± ¡°What do you mean? Are you blackmailing me?¡± Tang An squeezed the phone, wishing he could smash the person on the other end of the line in the head and shut him up completely. ¡°It¡¯s not that I want to blackmail you, but you didn¡¯t make things clear. If you had explained the situation, wouldn¡¯t we have done things for you in another way? We wouldn¡¯t have suffered such serious injuries. If you don¡¯t give it to us, I¡¯ll tell the Mu family about this.¡± Tang An was shocked. All these years, the most unbearable and humiliating thing that he could not erase had been exposed in a short sentence. Chapter 19 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Back then, Tang An was just a young man from an ordinary family. He looked refined and honest. By chance, he met Mu Xiyan, a rich young lady. The two of them quickly fell in love. No matter how much the Mu family objected, they still resolutely married. The Mu family¡¯s head doted on his daughter and gave her a very generous dowry. After the marriage, Tang An proposed to establish a company and give Mu Xiyan a better life. Mu Xiyan loved him to the core. How could she watch him work hard for a living? Naturally, she did not hesitate to take out her dowry and establish an entertainment company. When the Mu family found out, they could only acquiesce and secretly help Tang An. That was why Tang An became so established today. However, what Tang An could not forget was his first love when he was young¡ªHan Mei. Not long after Tang Entertainment got on the right track, Tang An coincidentally met Han Mei again. He interacted with her many times behind Mu Xiyan¡¯s back, and finally, Tang Yuan was born. At that time, Mu Xiyan had given birth to Tang Shu, who was only a few months old. Although the Mu family was willing to help Tang An back then, they were careful not to let Tang An get too many shares. At that time, Tang An and Mu Xiyan were still loving on the surface. Although he was thinking about the shares in her hands, he did not act rashly. At least on the surface, he had always followed his father-in-law¡¯s wishes and did not dare to show any ambition for the shares. Now that Mu Xiyan had passed away, the shares should naturally be returned to him. How could he let Tang Shun inherit them? He had done his best for Tang Entertainment for so many years and finally managed to expand the company. However, he was still nameless. When he thought of the shares in Tang Shun¡¯s hands, Tang An gritted his teeth in hatred. If he succeeded this time, Tang An¡¯s wish for many years would have been fulfilled. However, he had to be blackmailed and threatened at this time. Tang Shun was a man of his word in the Tang family, but he could not raise his head in front of the Mu family. Moreover, he had sent someone to beat up the Mu family¡¯s biological grandson. If the Mu family found out, how could he survive? Tang An let out a shaky breath and gripped the phone tightly. ¡°How much do you want?¡± he asked nervously. ¡°Boss Tang, you¡¯re straightforward. After all, we didn¡¯t succeed this time. I don¡¯t want too much from you. 10 million yuan. We brothers will split it evenly. Don¡¯t worry, we promise to shut up and not say anything else.¡± Tang An almost crushed the phone, but his weakness was pinched in the palm of his hand. He could only admit defeat. ¡°I¡¯ll call you later. Remember what you said. If you dare to spill a word, I won¡¯t let you off.¡± After hanging up, Tang An¡¯s limbs felt a little weak. He took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions. Downstairs in the living room, Tang Yuan was chatting happily with her mother. She was sitting on the couch, her eyebrows similar to his. She was good-looking and elegant, and Han Mei was listening attentively to what she was saying. Under the dim yellow light, the mother and daughter¡¯s gentle eyes were reflected. Seeing this scene, Tang An finally calmed down. He still had his precious daughter. For Tang Yuan, he had to get the shares of Tang Entertainment no matter what. Tang An walked downstairs steadily and smiled kindly at the people downstairs. ¡°What are you talking about? Why are you so happy?¡± ¡°Hubby,¡± Han Mei said happily when she saw that Tang had settled down. ¡°Director Zhu has taken a fancy to our daughter. He made an exception and let her participate in a variety show!¡± ¡°Our Yuan Yuan is really amazing.¡± Tang An nodded in relief and looked at Tang Yuan in satisfaction. Han Mei was very pleased with herself. Her daughter was so much better than Mu Xiyan¡¯s daughter. This made her hate her even more. ¡°That¡¯s right. Director Zhu is one of the top directors in the country. All the shows he personally directed are popular. It¡¯s not easy to get on his variety show. Our Yuan Yuan hasn¡¯t even entered the entertainment industry yet, but she was chosen by Director Zhu. Yuan Yuan is still the best!¡± So what if Mu Xiyan was Tang An¡¯s first wife? She was short-lived and unlucky. Her daughter was also useless. How could she compare to her daughter? If not for that short-lived person occupying the position, her daughter would have been the legitimate eldest daughter of the Tang family. Why would she be in such an awkward position now? Even as Tang An¡¯s biological daughter, she could not tell anyone. ¡°Dad, Director Zhu¡¯s show will definitely have many seniors. I¡¯m afraid of being bullied. Dad, you have to help me.¡± Tang Yuan took Tang An¡¯s hand and shook it affectionately. Tang An patted the top of her head and comforted her. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Leave it to me. No one will dare to bully you.¡± Chapter 20 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Only she and Han Mei knew what Tang Yuan had done behind Director Zhu¡¯s back. However, no matter how many dirty tricks she used behind Tang Yuan¡¯s back, it would not affect her from being smug in front of others. She had always been used to being admired by others. In school, she was even regarded as a goddess. No matter where she went, she was always the center of attention. As soon as Tang Yuan entered the school gate, she was surrounded by sharp-eyed students. She had an exquisite and small appearance, and a sharp-faced girl with plastic surgery came to Tang Yuan¡¯s side in admiration. ¡°Yuan Yuan, I saw the preview of Director Zhu¡¯s new show. You¡¯re on Director Zhu¡¯s variety show! Yuan Yuan, you¡¯re so amazing. I like you even more!¡± The boys followed Tang Yuan nervously. Only one or two boys with powerful backgrounds dared to go up and talk to Tang Yuan. One of the boys wearing glasses and a striped shirt happily took over the conversation. ¡°Yuan Yuan is so beautiful. She¡¯ll definitely become famous.¡± Tang Yuan was enjoying the envious gazes of others when she suddenly turned around and saw the delicate figure behind her. Her eyes immediately turned red. The bespectacled boy from earlier saw this and quickly looked behind him. He clenched his fists and turned around indignantly. ¡°Did she bully you again?¡± Tang Yuan immediately lowered her head aggrievedly. ¡°No, Ah Wei, don¡¯t spout nonsense.¡± ¡°Of course. Is there a need to ask?¡± The sharp-faced girl glared angrily at Tang Shu, who was walking silently with her head lowered. ¡°Yuan Yuan, your personality is too good. You always give in to her. So what if she¡¯s the eldest daughter of the Tang family? Now that you¡¯re also the daughter of the Tang family, you¡¯re not much worse than her.¡± When Tang Yuan heard this, she lowered her head. On the surface, she looked terrified and weak, but in her heart, she was extremely proud. ¡°My sister didn¡¯t do it on purpose. She was so angry that she hit me because I did something wrong. It¡¯s all my fault. I don¡¯t blame her.¡± ¡°How dare she hit you?¡± He Wei was completely furious. He shouted at Tang Shu angrily, ¡°Tang Shu, come here!¡± ¡°Ah Wei, no.¡± Tang Yuan took his hand and shook her head pitifully. ¡°Don¡¯t do this. I don¡¯t want to make things worse.¡± However, the more she endured and retreated, the angrier the people around her became. They looked like they wanted to skin Tang Shu alive. How dare she bully their goddess? They would never forgive her! Tang Shu lowered her head and sighed at the tragic fate of having to go to school even though she had already transmigrated. When she suddenly heard someone shouting her name, she looked up in confusion and saw a group of people surrounding Tang Yuan. Other than Tang Yuan, everyone else was looking at her angrily. Tang Shu understood that Tang Yuan must have slandered her behind her back. Tang Shu was very disdainful of Tang Yuan¡¯s petty tricks and decided to ignore her. However, her indifference made the group even angrier. He Wei took the lead and walked over. He wanted to see where Tang Shu¡¯s arrogance came from and how she dared to look down on him. He Wei stuck his nose in the air and questioned loudly, ¡°Hey, what right do you have to hit Yuan Yuan? Why are you so vicious? She¡¯s your sister after all. Why can¡¯t you tolerate her?¡± Tang Shu raised her eyebrows and looked at Tang Yuan, who was huddled in the crowd. ¡°She knows very well why I hit her.¡± Tang Yuan¡¯s body trembled as if she was extremely afraid. Her diehard fans¡¯ hearts ached even more. How could their precious Yuan Yuan be bullied so casually? ¡°Why else?¡± The girl with the sharp-like face sneered and said sarcastically, ¡°She must be jealous that Yuan Yuan is better than her in all aspects. That¡¯s why she keeps ostracizing Yuan Yuan. She¡¯s afraid that Yuan Yuan will snatch her position. Why doesn¡¯t she look in a mirror? How can she be compared to Yuan Yuan?¡± The sharp-faced girl quickly chimed in, ¡°That¡¯s right. No matter how jealous you are, Yuan Yuan will always be the best. Our Yuan Yuan is going to participate in Director Zhu¡¯s show. Look at yourself. You¡¯re nothing but a good-for-nothing. You only know how to use your status to vent your anger on Yuan Yuan behind her back.¡± ¡°Everyone, stop talking. I really didn¡¯t do it on purpose.¡± Tang Yuan tried her best to suppress the corners of her lips as tears welled up in her eyes. ¡°Thank you for helping me so much. If not for you guys, I might not have been able to survive long ago.¡± ¡°Yuan Yuan, don¡¯t say that. Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll definitely help you vent your anger.¡± He Wei hurriedly took out a tissue from his bag and handed it to Tang Yuan to wipe her tears. With her crying, the crowd became even more restless. Some people even took advantage of their numbers and boldly slapped Tang Shu¡¯s face. Chapter 21 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Tang Yuan exclaimed and quickly reached out to stop him. She had calculated it very well as she was standing at the back. No matter how fast she reacted, it was impossible for her to grab that person¡¯s hand in time. Therefore, she was not worried that Tang Shu would miss this slap. She remembered that night in the Tang family¡¯s living room. Tang Shu slapped her without any mercy, causing her to lose face in front of the servants. Today, she would let Tang Shu have a taste of being slapped in the face in front of everyone! Tang Yuan took a step forward and anxiously wanted to hold the person¡¯s hand, but she was still one step away from Tang Shu. She secretly looked forward to Tang Shu¡¯s reaction. This slap was enough to make Tang Shu lose face. ¡®Let¡¯s see if she still dared to be so arrogant in the future!¡¯ A crisp sound disturbed the birds on the trees. When there was movement here, everyone subconsciously stopped in their tracks and looked in their direction. It was an all-out blow, and everyone¡¯s jaws dropped. Only Tang Yuan was the first to react. She held her swollen cheek and tears rolled down her face. She could no longer maintain her gentle appearance. She glared at Tang Shu, who had used her as a shield. ¡°How dare you pull me in front of you?!¡± Tang Shu tilted her head in amusement. ¡°How can you stop me from standing so far away?¡± Tang Yuan said angrily, ¡°So you dragged me over and took this hit for you?¡± Tang Shu had completely ruined her plan just now. In a flash, before she could react, Tang Shu pulled her in front of her and took the slap for her. After Tang Yuan suffered this loss, she hated Tang Shu even more. Only then did the classmate realize what he had done. He hurriedly explained anxiously, ¡°No, Yuan Yuan, I didn¡¯t want to hit you. It¡¯s her! It¡¯s all her fault!¡± He pointed at Tang Shu, who was watching the commotion, and gritted his teeth in anger. This woman was too sinister! How was he going to face Yuan Yuan and her fans in the future?! ¡°What¡¯s there to blame me for? You were the one who wanted to do it.¡± Tang Shu could not be bothered with them anymore. These people were as brainless as Tang Yuan. They only knew how to distort the truth and be selfish. ¡°What a great eldest daughter of the Tang family. We¡¯ve really seen it for ourselves. Yuan Yuan is so pure and kind. How could you do this to her? You devil!¡± He Wei shielded Tang Yuan behind him, his eyes bloodshot. ¡°What are you doing?¡± The dean had long noticed the commotion in the field. He did not have a good expression when he saw Tang Shu. ¡®Tang Shu is really something. It seems like she¡¯s bullying her sister, Tang Yuan, again. How can there be such a vicious woman in the world?¡¯ ¡°Teacher! Tang Shu hit someone in public!¡± The girl with the pointy face hurriedly went forward to complain. The dean loved to hang out with students like them, so he naturally heard a lot about how Tang Yuan was ostracized and treated coldly by the Tang family. Tang Yuan had always been obedient and gentle, so the teacher liked her very much. Therefore, just like them, the teacher hated Tang Shu very much. Now that Tang Shu had fallen into the teacher¡¯s hands, she would definitely suffer! When the teacher heard her words, he looked at Tang Yuan, whose eyes were red from crying, and the clear slap mark on her face. He could not help but flare up. ¡°Tang Shu! How dare you attack her in the field?! I think you don¡¯t want to study in our school anymore. Follow me to the Academic Affairs Office!¡± Tang Shu was not afraid that the teacher would do anything to her. Firstly, she did not do anything at all. There were many surveillance cameras on the field, and the truth would be revealed once they start the investigation. Secondly, even if the teacher insisted on dispelling her, she had plenty of ways to deal with the teacher and make him beg for mercy. Seeing Tang Shu obediently follow the teacher into the school building, everyone finally vented their anger. The classmate who hit Tang Yuan lowered his head and apologized to Tang Yuan, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t mean to.¡± Although Tang Yuan was angry, she still pretended to be polite. ¡°It¡¯s okay. You did it for me. I know. I won¡¯t blame you.¡± ¡°Our Yuan Yuan is very kind-hearted.¡± He Wei comforted her with heartache and said all sorts of good things in her ear, making Tang Yuan laugh uncontrollably. Only then was she relieved. ¡°Yuan Yuan, you¡¯re too naive. I can tell that Tang Shu has ulterior motives. You can¡¯t beat her, but we¡¯ll help you teach her a lesson. Just wait.¡± He Wei looked at Tang Shu¡¯s empty seat proudly as a plan came to mind. Chapter 22 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Tang Shu only returned to the classroom after the first class ended. The moment she entered, she saw her classmates gloating. Leaning back in his chair, He Wei teased loudly, ¡°Oh? Did you come back to pack?¡± The students had all heard about what happened in the morning. When they heard what he said, they could not help but laugh out loud. Only a round-faced little girl stood up without care and pointed at He Wei¡¯s nose as she scolded, ¡°Tang Yuan¡¯s lackey, it¡¯s impossible for Tang Shu to be expelled. You must be playing tricks. You group of people joined forces to bully her!¡± ¡°Who are you calling a lackey?!¡± He Wei was unhappy. He blushed and straightened his neck to scold back. ¡°You, Lin Xiang, are just like Tang Shu. You¡¯re not a good person. Shameless b*tch!¡± ¡°You¡¯re the b*tch!¡± Lin Xiang did not back down at all. She stood in front of the window with her hands on her waist, pointing at He Wei and scolding him wantonly. Tang Shu smiled. This was Lin Xiang. Tang Shu¡¯s only good friend in the entire book did not hesitate to fall out with everyone for Tang Shu, but the ending was tragic. Thinking of Lin Xiang¡¯s death in the book, Tang Shu¡¯s eyes turned cold again as if they were going to turn into ice and pierce everyone¡¯s hearts. Tang Shu strode toward her seat and was about to sit down when Lin Xiang quickly grabbed her. ¡°Don¡¯t sit.¡± Tang Shu looked at the reflective surface of the chair and immediately understood. She looked at Tang Yuan, who was watching the show from her seat. Tang Shu picked up Tang Yuan¡¯s backpack that was hanging behind the chair and threw it onto her chair without any courtesy. Then, she sat on it. The surrounding students were dumbfounded. They did not expect Tang Shu to be so bold today. Looking at her usually gentle and weak appearance, they thought that she would only secretly bully Tang Yuan when there was no one around. So, she was usually just pretending? Tang Shu was really a scheming b*tch! Tang Yuan suddenly stood up and pointed at the backpack stuck to the chair. ¡°What are you doing?! This is my favorite limited-edition bag!¡± Tang Shu crossed her arms and said matter-of-factly, ¡°This chair isn¡¯t clean so I cleaned it with your bag.¡± ¡°Tang Shu! Don¡¯t go too far! There are so many of us watching!¡± He Wei could not take it anymore and rushed forward. Tang Shu was difficult to deal with today, and he had long been angry. He had to teach her a lesson no matter what. Otherwise, how could he survive in this class in the future? How could he have the cheek to pursue Tang Yuan? As he spoke, his eyes drifted unconsciously to the desk. ¡°So many people are watching you apply glue on my chair?¡± Tang Shu bent down to look at the table with a smile. She wanted to see what good stuff they had prepared for her in such a hurry. The moment she looked at the desk, He Wei¡¯s heart leaped into his throat. The pounding of his heart brought a smile to his lips. Inside the table was the ¡°treasure¡± that he had specially gotten someone to find. It would scare the timid Tang Shu out of her wits. His original plan was to let Tang Shu make a fool of herself after she inadvertently sat on the chair and was stuck by the glue he had applied in advance. When Tang Shu reached into the desk and saw the ¡°treasure¡±, no matter how heart-wrenching she screamed, her body would be firmly secured by the glue and she would be unable to move. Just thinking about that scene made He Wei happy. When the time came, he would help Tang Yuan vent her anger. She would definitely look at him differently. If he could take the opportunity to confess successfully, Tang Yuan would belong to him alone in the future! However, imagination was still imagination. Just as He Wei was thinking nonsense, Tang Shu¡¯s reaction disappointed everyone present. There was no illusion of panic or fear, and no expected ugliness. Tang Shu calmly took out a palm-sized spider from the table and subconsciously rubbed the fur on the spider. She raised her eyes slightly and held the spider before He Wei¡¯s eyes. ¡°Is this it?¡± On the other hand, the surrounding students screamed in fear. Many girls were dumbfounded. Tang Yuan did not dare to move at all. She looked at the spider in Tang Shu¡¯s hand in fear, afraid that she would accidentally throw it at her. ¡°Shu¡­ Shu, you have to throw it away¡­ It¡¯s too scary.¡± Lin Xiang was terrified, but she was worried that the spider would bite Tang Shu. She took a step forward, but she did not have the courage to reach out and help her deal with the spider. Just thinking about it made her tremble. He Wei really did not know why Tang Shu was suddenly so bold. She did not even bat an eyelid when she held such a big spider in her hand. Chapter 23 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Okay.¡± Tang Shu nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± She reached up and quickly grabbed He Wei by the collar, tossing the spider inside. ¡°Ah!¡± He Wei screamed and shook his shirt. The furry touch made his back turn cold. Even his lips turned purple. He looked at Tang Shu as if he was looking at a monster. ¡°Take it out quickly, Tang Shu. I¡¯m warning you, take it out!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you put it in?¡± Tang Shu sat down on Tang Yuan¡¯s limited-edition backpack. Although Tang Yuan¡¯s heart was bleeding, she did not dare to retort. The scene of Tang Shu holding the spider just now shocked her. Tang Yuan could only tremble and could not say a word. ¡°It wasn¡¯t me! It really wasn¡¯t me!¡± The spider in his shirt was crawling all over him with glee, and he was rigid, afraid to move. At this moment, he could not care less about his face and begged Tang Shu for mercy. ¡°I was wrong. Take it out quickly. It¡¯s really not me! I beg you.¡± Tang Shu sat there watching the show indifferently. Seeing that she did not react, He Wei could only turn his gaze to Tang Yuan. ¡°Yuan Yuan, quickly help me. I¡­ I can¡¯t take it anymore. Save me!¡± The spider had already climbed onto his back. His entire body went limp. Seeing that the spider was still eager to climb up, He Wei feel like dying. At this time, Tang Yuan was his life-saving straw. She would not leave him alone. She would definitely save him! ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t want to!¡± Tang Yuan screamed in horror and dodged backward, hiding behind the podium. ¡°Yuan Yuan?¡± At this moment, He Wei felt like the sky had collapsed. No matter how he called her, Tang Yuan decided to hide behind the podium and ignore him. ¡°Let me take it out for you,¡± Tang Shu reminded him kindly, ¡°But you have to tell me where this spider came from.¡± He Wei¡¯s eyes widened like a sinner who had been sentenced to death. He suddenly found an opportunity to escape his current predicament and replied hurriedly, ¡°It¡¯s Sung Wen! He got it and placed it in the drawer!¡± ¡°Oh, so it¡¯s him!¡± Lin Xiang arrived late and only saw them tampering with Tang Shu¡¯s chair. She did not see them hiding such a big ¡°treasure¡± in Tang Shu¡¯s drawer. Hence, after learning the truth, Lin Xiang could not care less about being afraid. She volunteered. ¡°I¡¯ll go get him.¡± Sung Wen¡­ Hearing this name, Tang Shu¡¯s eyes turned cold. An extremely cold snowstorm brewed in her heart. The cold words of the book were coming back to her like an open scroll: In the early hours of June 9, a body of a student was found beside the road at Zhong Gong University. The body was identified by relatives and identified as Lin Xiang, a student at the university. When the body was found, it was naked and bruised. There were signs of multiple assaults on her private parts. The wound was badly lacerated, and DNA identified twelve suspects. However, this major criminal case that had a huge impact could only be left unsettled. The reason was that the mastermind behind this case, Sung Wen, had a powerful background. He had committed a heinous crime, but no one dared to stand up for the dead. Sung Wen only treated Lin Xiang like this because she was Tang Shu¡¯s only friend. Tang Shu sneered in her heart. Tang Shu liked Lin Xiang¡¯s cute baby face. She had always treated the people she liked well. She would not let Sung Wen, Tang Yuan, He Wei, and the group of people who had participated in bullying Lin Xiang off! Soon, footsteps came from outside the door. The students who were watching the commotion surrounded the door of the class. A boy in a pure white short-sleeved shirt with casual brown pants walked in with a cigarette in his mouth. He frowned at the pale He Wei, then looked at Tang Yuan on the podium in a daze. His shifty eyes swept over her long legs. Then, he turned his gaze to Tang Shu impatiently and said in a rude tone, ¡°Why are you calling me? I placed the spider in your drawer. What can you do to me?¡± Tang Shu reached into He Wei¡¯s clothes and grabbed the long-haired spider tightly. He Wei slumped to the ground as if he had been granted amnesty. He panted heavily, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. Sung Wen stared at Tang Shu, dumbfounded. He wished he could stare a hole in her hand that was touching the spider. What kind of woman was this? She was not even afraid of spiders? Tang Shu sneered and stared at his open mouth. Under everyone¡¯s incredulous gazes, she raised her hand and stuffed the palm-sized spider into Sung Wen¡¯s mouth. Chapter 24 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Sung Wen¡¯s expression suddenly changed. Intense nausea rose from his stomach to his throat. The feel of the fur in his mouth made his blood run cold. ¡°No¡­¡± Sung Wen¡¯s face was white as he jerked back, tears and snot running into his mouth. Tang Shu retracted her hand in disdain. From the corner of her eye, she saw Lin Xiang standing behind her and immediately felt that her punishment to Sung Wen was too light. Did he not like to use those underhanded methods? Did he not like to debauch innocent girls? Then she would make sure he never had that ability in his life! Tang Shu took advantage of Sung Wen¡¯s trembling body and lack of strength to tear open his pants and throw the spider in. After being handled like this, the spider had some temper. It was trapped in narrow pants with nowhere to escape. It could only bite hard at the human flesh in front of it and threaten the humans to let it out. ¡°Ah!¡± Sung Wen¡¯s face turned ashen. He could not help but roar in pain. He no longer had the high and mighty image he had when he first arrived. At this moment, he no longer cared about his image. In front of everyone, he reached into his pants in shame. He steeled himself and grabbed the spider. With his saliva still hanging from the corners of his mouth, Sung Wen felt a wave of nausea. Finally, he could take it no longer and vomited all over the floor. Sung Wen stepped on the spider that was crawling on the ground. His eyes turned red with hatred. ¡°Tang Shu, I want you to suffer a fate worse than death. Just you wait!¡± He Wei did not expect Tang Shu to be so bold. Thinking about how she had only put the spider into his shirt, he could not help but shiver. Compared to Sung Wen, Tang Shu¡¯s revenge on him was really considered light. ¡°Thank you. You¡¯re not the first person to tell me that. Your good goddess often threatens me like this.¡± Tang Shu took a step back in disgust. The smell of what Sung Wen spat out was so strong that the surrounding students could not stand anymore and dispersed. Lin Xiang heard Tang Shu¡¯s words clearly and pointed at Tang Yuan in anger. ¡°Alright, you pretended to be a little white rabbit in front of others, but you said such things to Shu behind her back! You¡¯re really a shameless b*tch!¡± Tang Yuan¡¯s face turned pale. She had long been shocked by Tang Shu¡¯s series of actions. At this moment, she looked at Tang Shu with fear in her eyes. She bit her lower lip and let a tear fall, aggrieved. ¡°Sister, how can you slander me in public? When did I ever say such a thing to you?¡± Tang Shu was not interested in Tang Yuan now. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Sung Wen, who was staring at her fiercely. ¡°If you have any tricks up your sleeve and want to take revenge, feel free to come at me. I¡¯ll accompany you anytime. But if you dare to touch the people around me, I¡¯ll make you beg for death. Consider what happened today a small punishment.¡± ¡®A small punishment? She called it a small punishment?¡¯ Sung Wen was still in so much pain that he could not straighten his back, and his stomach was sour. He hated her so much. In the past, he only targeted Tang Shu because he wanted to help Tang Yuan vent her anger. From now on, he really hated Tang Shu to the core. However, when he saw Tang Shu¡¯s calm face, he could not help but feel afraid. It had to be said that Tang Shu¡¯s repeated actions had traumatized him. Now, as long as he saw Tang Shu, his stomach would react and hurt badly. In front of everyone, no matter how afraid he was, Sung Wei could not admit defeat easily. He had already lost his image today. If he did not think of a way to regain some face, how could he survive in this school in the future? Sung Wen held back his nausea and closed his eyes. Thinking of what Tang Shu had done to him, he became even more determined. When he looked at Tang Shu again, there was a deep sense of ruthlessness in his eyes. He had to admit that Tang Shu had changed too much today. No matter how much she changed, it was impossible for her to defeat a man like him! With this thought in mind, Sung Wen felt even more confident. He raised his hand to slap Tang Shu¡¯s fair and tender face. However, his arm was gripped tightly in the air. He turned around fiercely with a hoarse voice and was caught off guard by a pair of cold eyes. ¡°Sung Wen, how dare you attack another person in our class? Are you looking down on me?¡± Sung Wen straightened his back. When he faced the person behind him, his expression carried a hint of deliberate arrogance. ¡°Ko Feng, are you helping her?¡± Ko Feng did not so much as blink, his cool eyes betraying no emotion. ¡°Clean up where you left off, then you can f*ck off.¡± Sung Wen flinched instinctively, his arrogant facade easily shattered by Ko Feng. He grinned and his eyes bulged like a demon that wanted to eat human flesh. ¡°Tang Shu, we have plenty of chances to play slowly. Let¡¯s see who can protect you at all times!¡± Chapter 25 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Tang Shu raised her eyebrows and said softly to Ko Feng, who passed by her, ¡°Thank you.¡± A faint smile appeared in Ko Feng¡¯s eyes. He walked around Tang Shu and sat back in his seat. In the blink of an eye, it was lunch break. When Tang Shu and Lin Xiang were having lunch in the cafeteria, they heard the people sitting next to them talking about the Taekwondo Club. Their hearts itched. After lunch, she brought Lin Xiang to the Taekwondo Club¡¯s classroom. The classroom was not difficult to find. Tang Shu only asked around a little and found the club activity room on the first floor of an old building. At this moment, the classroom was empty. Only a few pieces of equipment were dusty in the corner. The entire classroom was messy and dilapidated as if the words ¡°unfunded¡± were written everywhere. The sandbags hanging in the middle of the classroom were also badly worn. It looked like they had been used for a long time. ¡°Shu, why don¡¯t we go back? This place looks gloomy and a little scary.¡± Lin Xiang shivered and carefully poked the hard sandbag a few times with her fingers. She resisted this kind of thing that had no beauty. ¡°Since we¡¯re already here¡­¡± Tang Shu handed her a piece of target kick to help her hold it. Lin Xiang did not understand, but she obeyed. Tang Shu flexed her muscles a little and controlled her strength to kick the target in Lin Xiang¡¯s hand. Taekwondo¡¯s target kick should be the strongest among the props in the entire classroom. It was almost impossible for anyone to break it. On the other hand, many beginners would suffer a lot of damage, either light or heavy, while practicing their target kick. However, Tang Shu was concerned about Lin Xiang. She controlled the strength of her kick and promised not to hurt Lin Xiang¡¯s arm. In the past, she had lived on the edge all day long and was used to such a thrilling life. Suddenly, she was a little bored. If she did not vent her anger, she would probably be depressed. Unexpectedly, the target was so weak that it shattered into two after making her kick. Lin Xiang held up the kick target, dumbfounded. Even a layman like her knew how solid it was, but this board was as fragile as a bubble in front of Tang Shu. Tang Shu retracted her foot speechlessly. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly as she met Lin Xiang¡¯s probing gaze. ¡°This thing must¡¯ve been damaged. It¡¯s not sturdy. It¡¯s not my fault.¡± Tang Shu felt a little awkward. This time, she did not dare to touch anything here anymore. After leaving a note and writing that she would compensate for the broken target kick, she pulled Lin Xiang and ran away. Several male members of the Taekwondo Club had just returned from lunch. Along the way, they were discussing the Taekwondo competition that was just around the corner. The club members were smug. Although they were not very good, it was an honor for them to participate in the competition. However, their club was not popular in school and could not be compared to other clubs which had ample funds. The equipment of the Taekwondo club was left behind by their seniors who had graduated. In addition, there were not many truly capable people in the club, and many of them were beginners. Therefore, the school had hinted more than once that they should disband the club and vacate the classroom for other clubs to use. ¡°President, if we can¡¯t recruit new people this month, I¡¯m afraid the dean will really disband us.¡± The tanned little fatty lowered his head worriedly. He really liked Taekwondo and did not want to see the club being disbanded like this. The president had tried his best with the school to ease the tension. He sighed and opened the door to the activity room in frustration. ¡°There¡¯s no other way. We can only publicize more and try to recruit more people.¡± He looked at the torn sandbag in the middle of the classroom and smiled bitterly. The Taekwondo Club had been in the school for more than ten years. Was it going to be disbanded in his tenure? He was indignant. The president looked greedily at every piece of equipment in the classroom. Every item here carried the memories of the club. That kick target was a memento given to him by the previous president. That kick target¡­ ¡°My kick target!¡± The president picked up the pieces on the ground with heartache. ¡°What happened? Why did the target crack in half? Who did this?!¡± The members stared in disbelief at the break in the target. ¡°It looks like it was broken.¡± ¡°How is that possible?¡± Fatty was puzzled. ¡°You can¡¯t break a target!¡± ¡°President! There¡¯s a note here!¡± The little fatty hurriedly handed it to the president. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t mean to. I¡¯ll pay you for a new target kick.¡± The president read the note in a daze and could not help but be curious about the mysterious person who wrote it. Chapter 26 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The old man in the surveillance room was sitting in front of the television, sipping his tea slowly. When he heard the knock on the door, the old man thought that the school dean had come to patrol. He quickly turned off the television, put down his tea, and nervously went to open the door. When he saw the boys behind the door, the old man grunted unhappily and sat back in the recliner. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± ¡°We want to see the surveillance cameras!¡± The Taekwondo Club¡¯s president was extremely curious. His heart felt like it was being scratched by a kitten, and his eyes eagerly glanced at the monitor. ¡°Nonsense.¡± The old man sat up straight. ¡°Are surveillance cameras something you can watch just because you want to? Hurry back to class.¡± ¡°Someone broke our club¡¯s target. Sir, please do us a favor and help us see if anyone has entered the classroom.¡± The little fatty hammered the old man¡¯s shoulder in a fawning manner and filled the old man¡¯s teacup with tea. Only then did the old man¡¯s expression soften. He hesitated, thinking that helping them once would not be a big deal. He let them in, closed the door, and turned on the surveillance video on his computer. ¡°There aren¡¯t many people in your Taekwondo Club, so we might as well disband it,¡± the old man teased nonchalantly as he adjusted the time. When the president heard this, he was immediately unhappy. ¡°If you want to disband our club, you¡¯ll have to wait until I die!¡± The old man could not help but turn his head to look at him. He sighed. ¡°You¡¯re so young. How can you keep talking about death?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to help you guys.¡± Grinning, the old man pointed at the snow on the screen. ¡°That security camera at your door broke down again. It didn¡¯t pick up anything.¡± The president lowered his head in disappointment. He wanted to know who that person was. Someone who could shatter a target must not be simple. Their Taekwondo Club needed such a talent now. It was the little fatty who cleverly took out the note and read it again. He rubbed his chin and analyzed it logically. ¡°It looks like a girl. It¡¯s rare for a man to write such delicate words.¡± ¡°A girl?¡± The members turned to look at the president. There was such a Taekwondo expert in this school?! It was a girl! The president could not hide his excitement as he thanked the old man and left the monitoring room with the club members. ¡°Our turning point is here!¡± The president tapped his palm and was overjoyed. ¡°What turning point?¡± The club members were puzzled. Their club¡¯s most valuable equipment had been broken by a little girl, and he was still so happy? The president shook his head enigmatically and explained, ¡°Think about it. Why is our club so much worse than the other clubs? Isn¡¯t it because we only have a few rough men and no girls are willing to join?¡± He looked at the confused expressions of the members who still did not quite understand and glared at them. ¡°Stupid! This young lady is so powerful. If we can find her and let her join our club, then we won¡¯t have to worry about not being able to recruit new people.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± The club members finally understood and gave the president a thumbs-up. The president was indeed the president. He was smarter than them. The little fatty said happily, ¡°Then I¡¯ll post this online and see if any witnesses saw who she really was!¡± At the same time, Tang Shu, who had returned to the classroom, was chatting with Lin Xiang in her seat. Lin Xiang was scrolling through her phone in boredom. She pointed at the new popular celebrity and complained to Tang Shu, ¡°Shu, why do you think all the recent celebrities look so ordinary? Not many of them look outstanding, especially these female celebrities. I think they¡¯re not as good-looking as you.¡± When the sharp-faced girl in the front row heard this, she sneered. ¡°She¡¯s really flattering her. How can she compare to a celebrity? If we¡¯re talking about the entertainment industry, it¡¯s still Yuan Yuan. Yuan Yuan is about to appear on a variety show that Director Zhu will personally participate in. When she becomes famous, some people probably won¡¯t even be able to have a glimpse of the entertainment industry!¡± Lin Xiang was furious when she heard those words. She could not be bothered to look at the handsome young men on her phone anymore. She put down her phone and started to retort, ¡°You brainless fans are quite imaginative. You haven¡¯t even been on the show, and you¡¯re already talking big. Are you afraid that you won¡¯t have a chance to say it in the future?¡± ¡°Who are you calling stupid? You b*tch!¡± The sharp-faced girl glared at Lin Xiang angrily. She wanted to rush over and scratch her face. Tang Shu looked at the sharp-faced girl leisurely with a warning in her eyes. ¡°Try scolding her again.¡± Chapter 27 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The sharp-faced girl subconsciously shrank her neck. When she thought of Tang Shu¡¯s feat of catching spiders with her hands, she was still a little afraid. However, she looked at the innocent Tang Yuan beside her and still mustered her courage to refute. ¡°She¡¯s a b*tch! So what if I scold her? You¡¯re not a good person either.¡± Tang Shu stood up, scaring the sharp-faced girl so much that she took a step back in fear. ¡°You¡­ What are you doing? We¡¯re at school. If you attack me, you¡¯ll be expelled!¡± Tang Yuan could tell that she was afraid and cursed her for being useless in her heart. However, she still looked troubled on the surface. ¡°Sister, don¡¯t bully her like this. It¡¯s fine if you scare me at home, but why are you bullying your classmates at school?¡± ¡°You¡¯re too shameless. She was the one who scolded me!¡± Lin Xiang pulled Tang Shu back, unwilling to let her cause trouble for her. If they really fought, Tang Shu would definitely not be able to get away with it. ¡°How can you bully Shu again?!¡± The slightly plump girl at the door was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She had only heard about what happened in the morning, and the already guilty girl had witnessed this scene with her own eyes. Even the weakest person would have a temper. ¡°Xin Mo, you¡¯re here!¡± When Lin Xiang saw her, she instantly forgot about the unpleasantness just now and pulled Tang Shu out of the classroom. Xin Mo had always been a timid girl. Lin Xiang was very surprised that she could suddenly speak so loudly. Lin Xiang thought of Xin Mo in the past and suddenly found out that she and Tang Shu had become very good friends. After all, Tang Shu had a bad reputation among her classmates, but Lin Xiang never listened to others. She only trusted her own judgment. Although Tang Shu was weak, she had no bad intentions. Lin Xiang had a good impression of her. Although Xin Mo was a little against Tang Shu, she still temporarily accepted the fact that Tang Shu had become Lin Xiang¡¯s good friend. However, after interacting with her for a year, Xin Mo gradually changed her opinion. She saw how difficult it was for Tang Shu and her heart ached for this young lady of the Tang family who appeared to be glorious on the surface. Only then did she put down her grudges and accept Tang Shu again. Xin Mo looked at Tang Shu worriedly. ¡°Shu, I¡¯m late.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, no one can bully Shu now.¡± Lin Xiang raised her chin provocatively at Tang Yuan, who was looking at her. Tang Yuan was so angry that she wanted to scratch her face. However, with so many people around, she had no choice but to pretend to be a white lotus. Lin Xiang felt relieved at the sight of her sulking. ¡°But you still have to be careful. I was scrolling through the campus website just now and saw the announcement from the Taekwondo Club.¡± As she spoke, Xin Mo swiped the screen of her phone a few times and opened the thread for them to see. ¡°This¡­ This isn¡¯t¡­¡± Lin Xiang was tongue-tied. Tang Shu pinched her waist casually. Xin Mo leaned closer and flipped through the comments mysteriously. ¡°I heard that the Taekwondo Club¡¯s target was kicked to pieces. That person even left a note. A student who happened to pass by said in the post that he saw Tang Yuan enter!¡± Tang Shu¡¯s eyebrows twitched when she mentioned the Taekwondo Club. However, when she saw this reply, she laughed in her heart. How could she not have sensed that she was being followed? It was just that she could not be bothered. She would not do anything shameful like Tang Yuan. The sharp-faced girl in the classroom also pointed at her phone and asked Tang Yuan in surprise, ¡°Yuan Yuan, is that really you? I only know that you know taekwondo, but I didn¡¯t know you were so powerful!¡± Tang Yuan followed Tang Shu to the Taekwondo Club. She was very curious about what Tang Shu and Lin Xiang were doing there in the afternoon, so after they left, she went in to see what she was doing. Then, she saw the target that Tang Shu had broken. Tang Yuan left the Taekwondo Club gloatingly, thinking that Tang Shu was looking for trouble again. She did not expect that those idiots from Taekwondo would come looking for her. She was about to retort when she suddenly heard the sharp-faced girl say excitedly, ¡°The Taekwondo Club said in this post that they want to invite you to join their club. As the goddess of their club, you¡¯ll appear in a city-level Taekwondo competition for a period of time! That competition will have a lot of media attention! Yuan Yuan, you¡¯re really amazing!¡± Tang Yuan swallowed her retort. This was a rare opportunity! Tang Yuan was smug. Tang Shu was serving her invisibly. Chapter 28 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Tang Yuan already had Director Zhu¡¯s trump card in her hands, but she was only slightly famous after all and had yet to be completely known by the public. If she could wear the halo of the Taekwondo Club Goddess and appear in the city-level competition this time, would not it be a free opportunity to promote herself? Perhaps she could become famous once before she went to the variety show. After all, there were not many female celebrities who were as beautiful as her and had learned some taekwondo. Tang Yuan was inexplicably confident in herself. She firmly believed that as long as she appeared at the competition venue, she would definitely be the most beautiful existence in the entire venue. At that time, all the taekwondo players in the city might become her fans! Thinking of this, Tang Yuan smiled shyly and said embarrassedly, ¡°What club goddess? It¡¯s not as powerful as they say. I just casually kicked it.¡± Tang Shu, who happened to walk into the classroom, heard her words and curled her lips meaningfully. It seemed that Tang Yuan was really at odds with her life. She had just taught her a lesson in the morning, and now, it was only noon before she started another fiasco. When the sharp-faced girl saw Tang Shu and the other two enter, she immediately perked up. She deliberately raised her voice and said, ¡°Yuan Yuan, I¡¯ve already helped you reply to that post. The president of the Taekwondo Club will come looking for you in a while! You deserve to be the goddess of their club! Unlike some people who are nothing!¡± Lin Xiang was immediately sarcastic when she heard this. ¡°Even if she goes, she¡¯ll just be a pretty face for the club. Something specially for people to see.¡± The sharp-faced girl slapped the table angrily. ¡°Who are you calling a vase? Tang Shu isn¡¯t even worthy of being a vase! Yuan Yuan can even shatter a target. Look after your friend. If she provokes Yuan Yuan again, be careful not to lose your life!¡± Lin Xiang sat down indifferently and looked at her with her legs crossed. Tang Shu was the one who did it, but Tang Yuan dared to admit it openly. Lin Xiang looked at Tang Shu, who was calm and composed, and immediately understood what she meant. Great, there was going to be another show of Shu slapping her face and being vicious! How satisfying! The sharp-faced girl did not know what they were thinking and was still mocking them smugly. ¡°You¡¯re really a good dog raised by Tang Shu!¡± ¡°This is the second time.¡± Tang Shu tapped her fingers on the table expressionlessly. The sharp-faced girl choked. She stared and did not dare to say another word. The members of the Taekwondo Club were extremely fast. They immediately rushed over as soon as they received the reply. They surrounded Tang Yuan enthusiastically like wild dogs who had finally found a delicious piece of meat after being hungry for a long time. ¡°Miss Tang Yuan, do you want to join our club? You¡¯re so amazing. If you can come, our club will definitely be honored!¡± The president waved his hands excitedly. Previously, one could tell that she was a delicate beauty just by looking at her back. Now that he saw her face, he was even more determined to get her. If such beauty was in the club, would they not be able to recruit more people? Would those male compatriots not rush to join? ¡°But I¡­¡± Tang Yuan stirred the hem of her dress demurely. ¡°But I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to do it well.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry!¡± Seeing that there was hope, the little fatty quickly spoke up for the president. ¡°As long as you can come, we don¡¯t need you to do anything. If you come, you¡¯ll be our goddess!¡± ¡°Alright then.¡± Tang Yuan agreed reluctantly, secretly delighted. The sharp-faced girl looked at Tang Yuan in admiration. ¡°Goddess, can I join you?¡± Tang Yuan smiled politely. ¡°You¡¯ll have to ask the president if he agrees.¡± ¡°Of course!¡± The president was happy to see this. With a few more girls, their club would be even more attractive! ¡°Why not?¡± ¡°We want to participate too!¡± Lin Xiang hated Tang Yuan¡¯s refusal the most. In terms of looks, how could she, Tang Yuan, compare to Tang Shu? In her heart, Tang Shu was always the best. Just now, Tang Shu had unintentionally revealed her interest in taekwondo in the corridor. Lin Xiang understood what she meant very well. No matter what Tang Shu did, she would accompany her. The president turned to look at them in surprise. He really did not expect to gain so much from this trip. The sharp-faced girl raised her head and retorted arrogantly, ¡°Why are you joining? You don¡¯t know taekwondo.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t either.¡± Lin Xiang felt at ease and completely ignored her provocation. Tang Shu looked at Tang Yuan thoughtfully. She knew that Tang Yuan must know that she was the one who really shattered the target. However, she still dared to blatantly take her place and enjoy being the center of attention. ¡®Then don¡¯t blame me for slapping you in the face again.¡¯ Chapter 29 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Although it was rude to secretly enter someone else¡¯s club and break their training equipment, Tang Shu was willing to bear the consequences. She had long planned to compensate the club with a better set of equipment. However, she did not expect that the people from the club would use such a method to find the culprit and even attract Tang Yuan¡¯s attention. Tang Shu smiled and looked at Tang Yuan, who was obviously guilty. Although the latter lowered her head, she knew that Tang Shu was looking at her. Tang Yuan had thrown caution to the wind when she had somehow managed to impersonate the incident in the midst of someone else¡¯s compliments. So what if Tang Shu did it? Tang Shu did not know taekwondo at all, but she had the foundation of taekwondo. Even if Tang Shu said that she did it, no one would believe her. Tang Shu could only suffer in silence and become her stepping stone to fame. She wanted to make Tang Shu speechless. Not only would she lose her status in the Tang family, but she would also make her hated by everyone in school. She was also Tang An¡¯s biological daughter, but in the eyes of outsiders, Tang Shu was more legitimate than her. They were clearly the same, but they looked worlds apart. This was all because of Tang Shu. As long as Tang Shu was gone, she would be the only eldest daughter of the Tang family! Among the few people present, only the Taekwondo Club was the happiest. Not only did he find the ideal Taekwondo Goddess, but he also received so many newcomers in one go, and all of them looked good. Now, their club was completely safe. The bell rang and the president reluctantly led them out of the classroom. Before leaving, he did not forget to add Tang Yuan¡¯s contact number. Tang Yuan had originally planned to refuse. After all, she was going to become a famous female celebrity in the future. How could she add such a small character as a friend? However, she thought of Tang Shu, who had said that she wanted to join the club, but the president only added her contact. Tang Yuan¡¯s sense of superiority swelled, and she even found the president, who looked inconspicuous, much more pleasing to the eye. Seeing that he had indirectly helped her step on Tang Shu, she reluctantly agreed to his friend request. In any case, after she finished using her identity as the Taekwondo Goddess and obtained the benefits she wanted, she could find a reason to delete him and never contact him again. Tang Yuan looked at the president who had added her as a friend and the envious gazes of the other men. She was even more satisfied. Like a peacock that had been suppressed for a long time, she finally found an opportunity to show off her superiority in front of Tang Shu. Tang Shu naturally noticed the change in Tang Yuan¡¯s mood. In these few exchanges, this woman had been dealt a heavy blow by her. Now, she had finally found an opportunity. However, she did not know that this opportunity was also a landmine that Tang Shu had personally planted for her. After school, Tang Shu saw that it was still early and took the initiative to go to the mall to buy the relevant items for the Taekwondo Club. Naturally, Lin Xiang would not refuse to follow her. She even invited Xin Mo along. It was rare for Tang Shu to experience the feeling of having a good friend. This made her feel unfamiliar, but she could not help but yearn for it. She could tell that Lin Xiang and Xin Mo were good friends who sincerely cared about her. If possible, Tang Shu was willing to protect them on behalf of the original Tang Shu and not let them have the chance to repeat the mistakes in the books. Thinking of Lin Xiang in the book, Tang Shu¡¯s mind would be in turmoil. She could not wait to punish Sung Wen and those animals. ¡°Shu, what are you thinking about? Your expression is so scary. Are you feeling unwell?¡± Lin Xiang touched Tang Shu¡¯s forehead worriedly. Tang Shu came back to her senses and calmed down. A sweet smile appeared on her face. ¡°I¡¯m not feeling unwell. Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± ¡°These clothes aren¡¯t as pretty as my little dress. If only I could learn Taekwondo like I did dancing, I could wear a nice dress.¡± Lin Xiang complained as she stuffed the clothes in her hands to the salesperson. Tang Shu looked at her in amusement. ¡°How can I wear a dress? If I practice kicking, wouldn¡¯t I be exposed?¡± ¡°Yeah, just bear with it.¡± Xin Mo blinked in amazement. ¡°Actually, I¡¯m quite interested in learning taekwondo. I love it when I think of those extraordinary players on TV!¡± Tang Shu could not help but laugh and teased, ¡°Although Xin Mo is soft-spoken, she¡¯s quite hot-blooded.¡± ¡°Of course. If the three of us were in ancient times, we might even be able to become heroines!¡± Lin Xiang smiled brightly and hugged the two of them. She had the heroic spirit of risking her life for her sisters. Tang Shu looked at them and suddenly understood what friendship was. She did not expect to have something she did not have in her previous life here. Chapter 30 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation There was many other taekwondo equipment in the store. Tang Shu looked at the full shelves and waved her arm. She instructed the salesperson generously, ¡°I want two sets of each of these. I¡¯ll give you the address. Help me send them there.¡± The salesperson had never receive such a big order before. She looked at Tang Shu as if she was looking at the God of Fortune. Naturally, she would do whatever Tang Shu said. Even if they did not offer delivery in their shop, they had to have one now. When Tang Shu returned home, it was already late. As soon as she entered the house, she smelled the pungent smell of cigarettes in the living room. When the dejected person on the couch heard the sound of the door, she quickly stood up expectantly. When she saw the person who had returned, she was at a loss. ¡°Sister, where have you been? Why didn¡¯t you answer my call?¡± ¡°I went to buy clothes with a friend. My phone is dead.¡± Tang Shu waved her hand to disperse the smell of some cigarettes. She looked up at Tang Shun and waited for him to continue. Tang Shun sighed softly. ¡°Don¡¯t let me not find you in the future, okay? I¡¯m worried that something happens to you.¡± No one knew that when he called countless times but still could not contact Tang Shu, he was so anxious that he almost went crazy! If his sister was in danger, he would never forgive himself. Tang Shu put down the shopping bag, poured a glass of water, and said slowly, ¡°Got it. It won¡¯t happen again.¡± Only then did Tang Shun smile in relief. Thinking of how Tang Shu had dispersed the smell of cigarettes, he pushed open the window apologetically. ¡°The smoke must be unpleasant to you. I won¡¯t smoke at home in the future.¡± He glanced at Tang Shu¡¯s shopping bag and saw a taekwondo suit inside. He smiled in surprise. ¡°Sister, are you going to learn taekwondo? Why do you want to learn this? It¡¯s very difficult to learn taekwondo. Sister, why don¡¯t you learn to dance? Mom looks good when she dances.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t like it.¡± Tang Shu rejected his suggestion coldly. ¡°It¡¯s best to learn taekwondo now. After all, what happened last time might happen again at any time.¡± Tang Shun¡¯s heart tightened. He recalled the last time he and his sister were blocked on the path. Facing such a group of thugs, he was helpless and had to rely on his sister to escape danger. Tang Shun nodded guiltily. ¡°I¡¯ll learn it when I¡¯m free. If something like that happens again in the future, let me protect you. I¡¯ll find the best taekwondo master right now. You can learn it first.¡± ¡°No need. The Taekwondo Club in school will do. Tang Yuan has also joined.¡± Tang Shu did not expect him to really protect her, but she felt very comfortable listening to these words. Even though Tang Shun had once stood by and watched, he was not the initiator of the original Tang Shun¡¯s tragedy. On the contrary, he was just a pitiful chess piece. Tang Shu was sure that Tang Shun must have done it for some reason that was as magical as hers. Whether he was sincere in his repentance or for some other purpose, the two of them seemed to be on the same side for the time being, so there was no need to make things difficult for each other. Tang Shun frowned at her words. He knew a little about the Taekwondo Club in Tang Shu¡¯s school. In the past, he would pick Tang Yuan up from school almost every day. He had accidentally heard from someone that this club was very useless. The activity room was so dilapidated that it looked like it would close down at any time. How could his sister stay in such a shabby environment? ¡®Absolutely not.¡¯ Tang Shun had an idea, but to surprise Tang Shu, he did not show any emotions and just sent her back to her room to rest. ¡°Shu, you¡¯re back. Have you eaten?¡± Han Mei happened to come out of Tang Yuan¡¯s room and asked Tang Shu with concern. ¡°Yes,¡± Tang Shu replied calmly. Han Mei looked at Tang Shu and asked hesitantly, ¡°Yuan Yuan said that you hit her today. Is that true?¡± Tang Shu raised her eyebrows and looked at Tang An, who had walked out of the room without saying a word. Was he ganging up to avenge his daughter? ¡°I didn¡¯t hit her. The teacher has already investigated. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can go and look at the surveillance cameras.¡± Tang Shu could not be bothered to say anything else. Ignoring Tang An¡¯s livid expression, she went straight back to her room to rest. Han Mei rubbed her hands awkwardly. ¡°Hubby, don¡¯t be angry. Shu has never liked Yuan Yuan. It¡¯s normal for them to have conflicts. Yuan Yuan is soft-hearted¡­¡± ¡°My sister isn¡¯t an unreasonable person. She has already explained just now that she didn¡¯t. If you don¡¯t believe her, go and look at the surveillance cameras!¡± Tang Shun¡¯s expression was unfriendly. A stepmother was a stepmother. She would never treat Tang Shu as well as her biological mother. Chapter 31 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°How can you talk to your mother like that?¡± Tang An could not scold Tang Shu, so he vented all his anger on Tang Shun. ¡°I¡¯m just stating the facts.¡± Tang Shun returned Tang An¡¯s gaze steadily, not backing down. Tang An glared at Han Mei and returned to the study. He blamed her for acting rashly without asking about the situation. Tang Shu returned to her room. She was really tired of seeing Tang Yuan like this. Did the female lead in this book not have any other means? She wished that Tang Yuan could be smarter so that she would not be too bored. If her opponent was only at this level, she was afraid that her intelligence would be downgraded by these people and lower her level. Early in the morning, Tang Yuan woke up and came out for breakfast. Only Han Mei was sitting at the table drinking the milk that the helper had heated. ¡°Mom, where¡¯s Dad?¡± Tang Yuan sat at the table and picked up an omelet. Han Mei poured another glass of milk for Tang Yuan. ¡°Your father had a meeting this morning and left early. By the way, when Tang Shu went out today, I saw a bag in her hand. It seemed to be filled with taekwondo clothes. Is she going to learn taekwondo?¡± Tang Yuan curled her lips mockingly. ¡°What can she learn? Hmph, she¡¯ll do whatever I do!¡± Han Mei smiled and patted Tang Yuan¡¯s head gently. ¡°My Yuan Yuan is the best.¡± Tang Yuan looked down on Tang Shu from the bottom of her heart, but she had been criticized many times and gradually learned to be smart. She no longer pretended to be pitiful in front of others. During the lunch break, Tang Yuan was chatting with the club members in the taekwondo activity room. When she saw Tang Shu, Tang Yuan pushed Lin Xiang away and held her arm warmly. She called her sister sweetly as if the two of them were very close. ¡°Sister, you¡¯re here.¡± Tang Yuan smiled sweetly. Her smile could easily capture the hearts of the boys in the club. Tang Shu raised her eyebrows at her acting. She did not know what she was up to, but she still answered cooperatively, ¡°Yes, sister.¡± ¡°Yesterday, I asked you to help me order a batch of equipment. I didn¡¯t expect you to buy so many. You¡¯re so generous. I¡¯ll transfer the money to you later. I can¡¯t let you simply spend money on my behalf.¡± Tang Yuan pulled Tang Shu intimately. The two sisters looked harmonious. However, the boys in the club were a little puzzled. Was it not rumored that Tang Shu, as her sister, gave Tang Yuan a hard time and even hit her? Why did it seem like the two of them were very close? Lin Xiang rolled her eyes and moved away from Tang Yuan in disgust. This woman was so shameless. Tang Shu had clearly taken the initiative to buy the equipment, but Tang Yuan said that it was her instructions. She had taken all the credit with just a few words. How could Tang Yuan say that she would pay for them? If she could give Tang Shu a cent, Lin Xiang would write her name upside down! Xin Mo felt very indignant for her friend, but she had always been a timid person and spoke slowly. Before she could speak, Tang Yuan had already started to praise her. Xin Mo stamped her foot angrily. Lin Xiang was better at keeping her cool. Although she had not spoken to Tang Shu and discussed what to do about this matter, she believed that Tang Shu could deal with that b*tch, so she just had to guarantee that she and Xin Mo would not cause trouble for Tang Shu. Lin Xiang quickly grabbed Xin Mo and pulled her into a corner, carefully explaining the situation to her so that she would not act rashly. Tang Yuan saw the two of them whispering in the corner, but she did not take them seriously. In her opinion, they were just two watchdogs in front of Tang Shu. If she was forced into a corner, someone would naturally help her deal with them. ¡°A total of 53,000 yuan.¡± Tang Shu checked the payment record and placed it in front of Tang Yuan in front of everyone. Tang Yuan¡¯s lips twitched speechlessly. A pile of scrap metal actually cost so much money? ¡°Goddess, you¡¯re too generous. Why did you buy such an expensive thing? We can¡¯t accept this.¡± The president refused gratefully. He was a man after all. How could he accept a girl¡¯s favor? ¡°It¡¯s not very expensive.¡± Tang Yuan gritted her teeth and could hardly maintain the smile on her face. ¡°I¡¯ll transfer it to you later.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t wait to do it later. Let¡¯s do it now.¡± Tang Shu swiped the screen of her phone innocently. ¡°Why can¡¯t I find you? Oh right, you deleted me as a contact a long time ago.¡± Chapter 32 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The boys¡¯ gazes turned strangely to Tang Yuan. No matter how slow they were, they could still smell gunpowder in the air. The little fatty coveted Tang Yuan¡¯s beautiful appearance. When he heard Tang Shu¡¯s words, he immediately thought of the rumors among his classmates and frowned unhappily. ¡°Don¡¯t spout nonsense. Yuan has many fans. How did she get you to help her buy these things?¡± ¡°In person¡ª¡± Before Tang Yuan could finish speaking, Lin Xiang interrupted her. ¡°Why didn¡¯t I know you said that? We went shopping together yesterday. Then why didn¡¯t you go yourself?¡± Tang Yuan glared at her hatefully. Everyone in the classroom was already looking at her. That detestable Lin Xiang actually embarrassed her in public. Her face was slightly red as her wet eyes swept across everyone in the room. Then, she tugged at Tang Shu¡¯s sleeve timidly. ¡°Sister, I specially told you before school ended yesterday. Why don¡¯t you remember? If it weren¡¯t for my stomach feeling unwell last night, I would¡¯ve gone alone. I wouldn¡¯t have troubled you.¡± Tang Shu¡¯s cold eyes landed on her face with a smile, making Tang Yuan¡¯s heart tremble. The dawn was breaking on the horizon, and the sleeping birds were roused by the fast-moving planes in the sky. The phone beside his pillow vibrated continuously. Tang Shun was so sleepy that he could not open his eyes. However, because the phone was too noisy, he could only close his eyes and search for the phone. Out of habit, he pressed the answer button on the phone. After waiting for a while, the phone did not stop vibrating. Tang Shun opened his eyes in frustration. Only then did he see that the source of the vibration was a pile of chat messages. Mu Zheng¡¯s name hung in the middle of the screen. Tang Shun immediately woke up. He sat up and opened the chat box with trembling hands. ¡°Tang Shun, what¡¯s Shu¡¯s phone number again?¡± ¡°Tang Shun, are you dead? Is Shu beside you? Is she okay?¡± ¡°Tang Shun, speak. I¡¯ll be at your house soon. Tell Shu to contact me first.¡± Tang Shun stared blankly at the lines of words on the screen. He was angry, so his reply was not polite. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± The bombardment of information suddenly stopped. Through the screen, Tang Shun really could not figure out what this person was up to. After thinking about how to please his sister last night, he was already exhausted. If Mu Zheng did not have a proper reason, he could not blame him for being rude. Had Mu Zheng not always ignored Shu in the past? Why was he suddenly so concerned about her? ¡°I want to see Shu and ask her if you bullied her in person.¡± Mu Zheng narrowed his eyes and rubbed his swollen temples. He closed his eyes tiredly. The Mu family and the Tang family were not in the same city. Therefore, the Mu family did not know much about the Tang family. Otherwise, Tang An would not be so bold as to send people to beat Tang Shun up in the city. Tang An was certain that this matter could be hidden from the Mu family. Otherwise, even if he was given a few guts, he would not dare to offend the Mu family. Tang Shun was still in a daze when the screen lit up again. ¡°I¡¯m at your house. Come downstairs.¡± Tang Shun immediately put down his phone and did not even bother to wash up. There was a huge question in his heart that only Mu Zheng could answer. ¡°You¡¯re not up yet?¡± Mu Zheng frowned in disdain at Tang Shun¡¯s disheveled appearance. ¡°Where¡¯s Shu?¡± Tang Shun closed the door and poured himself a glass of water. ¡°She¡¯s at school. What¡¯s wrong with you? Why are you in such a hurry?¡± Mu Zheng stared at Tang Shun with a sinister gaze. ¡°I had a very complete dream. I dreamed that Shu was dead because of you! I have to see Shu with my own eyes!¡± Tang Shun felt his body turn cold. He lost his grip on the cup and it fell to the ground. Things were indeed not as simple as he had expected. If even Mu Zheng could have such a prophetic dream, then Shu¡­ Tang Shun¡¯s heart suddenly raced. He seemed to have finally come to the door that hid the truth. If Shu also found out about her ending through some means¡­ Then everything would be explained! Tang Shun swallowed nervously. It seemed that Mu Zheng was not so easy to fool this time. Tang Shun calculated that his sister should be taking her lunch break at this time, so he quickly found the contact information of the place where his sister bought the taekwondo clothes. The timing was perfect for giving away his share of the gift. As for Mu Zheng, he had yet to figure out how to deal with him. On the other side, Tang Shun¡¯s good sister was being harassed in the activity room. Chapter 33 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°I finally understand.¡± The little fatty glared at Tang Shu and the other two angrily. ¡°It¡¯s clearly because our goddess misses us that she asked you to help her buy things, but you¡¯re so vain. To make us feel grateful to you, you said such things to our goddess. No wonder everyone says that you¡¯re mean!¡± ¡°Little Chubby, stop it. If I wasn¡¯t suddenly feeling unwell, I wouldn¡¯t have caused such an embarrassing incident. It¡¯s all my fault. It¡¯s not Sister¡¯s fault. She just wants to contribute to the club.¡± Tang Yuan sighed. The disappointment and self-blame in her eyes always made one¡¯s heart ache. In terms of appearance, Tang Yuan was far inferior to Tang Shu. Back then, Mu Xiyan deserved to be called a beauty. Her looks were many times better than Han Mei¡¯s. However, Tang Shu was used to being cold-hearted. This kind of temperament was reflected in her appearance, making people not dare to approach her. Compared to the flowers in the mountains, it was obvious that Tang Yuan¡¯s public persona was more likable. The club president was a little impatient. He had always looked down on the infighting between girls, let alone plotting against his own sister. It was hard to guarantee that such a person would not scheme against others in the future. How could he expect someone who did not even have any kinship to care about her classmates? ¡°Tang Shu, did Yuan Yuan ask you to buy these things? If you tell the truth now, everyone can still forgive you.¡± The president tried his best to persuade her. If not for the survival of the club, he would not be willing to interact with someone like Tang Shu. Xin Mo¡¯s eyes were red like a wronged rabbit. She wanted to speak up for Tang Shu, but it seemed that no matter what they said now, no one would believe them. Tang Shu glanced at everyone indifferently. ¡°Alright, I admit that Tang Yuan asked me to help her buy it.¡± Tang Yuan sneered smugly and raised the corners of her eyes. As expected, everyone looked at her with disdain. When the little fatty heard this, he immediately defended the goddess. ¡°President, Tang Shu and the other two are too detestable. If we hadn¡¯t heard of her character and trusted the goddess, how much grievances would the goddess have suffered? Although our club is still short of people now, with the goddess around, what¡¯s there to be afraid of? If such a person stays in the club, when there are more people in the future, who knows what they will do! I think it¡¯s better not to have them. We should chase them away as soon as possible.¡± The way the president looked at Tang Shu and the others also changed. As soon as the little fatty said that, all the members present agreed. They looked at Tang Shu and the other two like they were looking at dirty rats in a sewer. Their disgusted and disdainful gazes were not concealed at all. ¡°Tang Shu, look, everyone is now against you. Why don¡¯t you join another club?¡± The president frowned and asked them to leave. Tang Shu nodded. ¡°Sure, but there are no other empty classrooms in the school that can be used as club activity rooms.¡± The president frowned in confusion. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Tang Shu looked around again and said calmly, ¡°I heard that your club has been ordered by the teacher to disband if you still can¡¯t recruit anyone. That¡¯s good. We can make room for our new club.¡± ¡°Tang Shu, I think you¡¯re crazy! You want to create your own club? Do you have the ability to do that?¡± The little fatty sneered, the fat on his face squeezed together. ¡°After today, there will be.¡± Tang Shu smiled. She had established the club on the spur of the moment. Since this place would soon be disbanded, she might as well create one to play with so that she could kill her boredom. The members of the club laughed at her words. The little fatty walked over to Lin Xiang and Xin Mo in an exaggerated manner and pointed at them in amusement. ¡°Are they your club members?¡± Lin Xiang hated it when people pointed at her and talked to her. The little fat boy had just crossed the line. Lin Xiang raised her hand and slapped the little fatty¡¯s fat hand away. This hit was not light. The little fatty immediately retracted his hand in pain, and the back of his hand turned visibly red. ¡°How dare you hit me?! My mother has never hit me before!¡± In a moment of desperation, the little fatty slapped Lin Xiang¡¯s face. Tang Shu¡¯s expression darkened. The moment the little fatty attacked, she quickly grabbed his wrist. She was very strong. She grabbed the little fatty¡¯s hand and mercilessly pressed her knee against his stomach. He dared to hit her friend in front of her. It seemed like she had to teach him a lesson. ¡°Ah!¡± the little fatty screamed and withdrew his hand. The most vulnerable part of the human stomach had been hit. He fell to the ground, convulsing in pain. He clutched his abdomen and grimaced. Cold sweat broke out all over his body. Chapter 34 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Why did you hit him?¡± The club president was furious now. He squatted to check the little fatty¡¯s injuries and turned to look at Tang Shu angrily. ¡°Apologize to him!¡± ¡°Why should we apologize?¡± Lin Xiang asked aggressively. Although she knew in her heart that Tang Shu would have a way to deal with them, it was not a lie to say that she was being bullied. Even if she temporarily compromised to add fuel to the fire, it should not hurt to retort. ¡°He was the one who kicked us first. Are you all blind? This is called self-defense! Do you know the law?¡± Lin Xiang proudly put her hands on her waist and stood beside Tang Shu to show off. ¡°But you can¡¯t be so ruthless!¡± The club president was speechless. They were indeed in the wrong. The club president lost his confidence and his tone softened. ¡°But even if Little Fatty made the first move, isn¡¯t it because of your words? We¡¯re not targeting you. It¡¯s just that it¡¯s too unreasonable for you to snatch Yuan Yuan¡¯s credit for buying things for the club.¡± ¡°Did you say that Tang Yuan bought it?¡± Lin Xiang did not agree with him. Were these people crazy? Or was Tang Yuan a vixen from some remote forest that could charm these men until they could not differentiate black from white?! ¡°Nonsense. These were clearly bought by Shu. Tang Yuan didn¡¯t pay for them.¡± Xin Mo could not stand it anymore, but her voice was soft and her words were very weak. Soon, others retorted. The club members were so disgusted that they wished Tang Shu and the others could get lost. ¡°The goddess said that she¡¯d pay her later! It¡¯s clearly the goddess¡¯ good intentions. Some people shouldn¡¯t take it for granted. Take the money and leave quickly!¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Tang Shu¡¯s expression did not change at all. She nodded in agreement and turned to Tang Yuan, who was watching the show. ¡°Then please settle the bill quickly. We¡¯re in a hurry to leave.¡± Tang Yuan glared at her angrily. Although she was very doted on in the Tang family, Tang An was a miser. He seemed to be generous to her, but in fact, he did not give her much pocket money every month. She had always liked luxury. The 50,000-yuan bill was already half a month of her pocket money! Tang Yuan¡¯s cheeks twitched in pain. Damn Tang Shu! How could she have so much money? Mu Xiyan must have left it for her! Damn it! How could she inherit such a rich inheritance while her mother had no savings at all?! Sooner or later, the money and shares in their hands would become hers. Thinking of this, Tang Yuan felt even more frustrated when she saw Tang Shu buying so many things. Tang Shu wasted a lot of money this time. In the future, it would all be Tang Yuan¡¯s money. How could she waste so much money on this pile of junk? ¡°I¡­¡± Tang Yuan hesitated and tried to find an excuse to delay paying. After all, she only wanted to take advantage of the situation. She had no intention of using the money she wanted to spend on bags and cosmetics to buy these things. The little fatty clutched his stomach. When he saw Tang Shu, he gritted his teeth in hatred. When he heard Tang Shu say that she was in a hurry to leave, he immediately lost his temper. ¡°Goddess, give it to her quickly and let her leave.¡± Tang Yuan frowned in pain. Why was Tang Shu so difficult to deal with recently? Looking at the current situation, even if she was unwilling to pay the bill, she had no choice but to give in at this moment. However, where did she get so much money now? Tang Yuan gritted her teeth and made up her mind. At most, she would discuss it with her mother tonight and ask her to give her more pocket money this month! If her mother knew that she was doing this to ostracize Tang Shu, her mother would definitely agree! When she thought about what would happen to Tang Shu in the future, Tang Yuan felt very proud. She was going to pay for it so it was worth it to embarrass Tang Shu once. As long as this matter spread, she wanted to see how Tang Shu would still have the face to come to school! After making up her mind, Tang Yuan looked up innocently. ¡°Sister, I¡¯ve never been able to get so much money from the family like you. Please wait for me to go back and tell Mom tonight. I¡¯ll definitely pay you!¡± Tang Yuan looked gentle and kind on the surface, but she secretly hoped that Tang Shu would become a street rat that everyone hated and despised. However, when she looked up and saw Tang Shu¡¯s smiling eyes, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. A bad premonition arose from the bottom of her heart. ¡°Sister.¡± Tang Shu blinked and looked at her innocently. ¡°But you can¡¯t take out the money now. Listen to me. If you want to take someone else¡¯s credit, you have to weigh your own capabilities first.¡± Chapter 35 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Come in.¡± As soon as Tang Shu finished speaking, the classroom door was opened. It was the shop assistant from last night. ¡°Miss Tang.¡± The salesperson bowed respectfully. He had never thought that he could take on such a huge order. This time, his bonus for next month would be much higher. He looked at Tang Shu as if she was his sugar mommy. In his heart, he would do whatever Tang Shu asked of him. ¡°I don¡¯t want to leave these here anymore. Help me move back to your shop for the time being. When this place is vacated, please get someone to move it over. I¡¯ll pay for it,¡± Tang Shu instructed calmly, not even looking at the gloomy expressions of the rest of the people in the club. ¡°What right do you have to move them away just like that?!¡± Little Fatty could not bear to part with these good things. Their club had never produced a taekwondo expert. Perhaps it was because they had too little funding and could not use good equipment to practice. If he had this equipment, he was confident that he would be able to stand out in the competition next year! ¡°Because your goddess can¡¯t afford it.¡± Lin Xiang proudly gave the little fatty the finger. ¡°Let your goddess buy something she can afford. Shu bought these, so don¡¯t even think about it!¡± ¡°Sister, don¡¯t do this. I¡¯ll really pay you.¡± Tang Yuan was unwilling to let Tang Shu move the equipment away just like that. Tang Yuan had never planned to spend so much money in the first place. If these people were really waiting for her to buy these good things, how much money would she have to spend? It would not be as easy as taking Tang Shu¡¯s money for nothing! Tang Shu glanced at the salesperson. The salesperson immediately understood and called two people in charge of transporting the goods. The club president had been watching quietly from the side and suddenly figured something out. He opened his mouth and hesitated for a long time before asking with a red face, ¡°You bought these for the club, right?¡± Tang Yuan looked at him in shock. ¡°This is my¡­¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Tang Shu nodded and raised her eyebrows at the only sensible person in the room. The club president paled. Why had he only just thought of this? If Tang Yuan really asked Tang Shu to buy it, why would Tang Shu buy a bunch of things that Tang Yuan could not afford? On the other hand, how could Tang Yuan not tell Tang Shu in advance what to buy and how much she could spend? Since Tang Yuan wanted to take over this matter, that note¡­ A chill ran down the club president¡¯s spine. What if Tang Yuan had been lying to them from the beginning? He raised his head hesitantly and looked at the aggrieved Tang Yuan. ¡°Yuan Yuan, do you know taekwondo?¡± Tang Yuan nodded in confusion. ¡°Yes.¡± She glanced at Tang Shu and smiled proudly. ¡°My sister doesn¡¯t.¡± The club president turned to Tang Shu. Seeing that she had no intention of refuting, he finally felt relieved. As long as Tang Yuan did not lie about this matter, it would be fine. He was still counting on Tang Yuan to recruit some new blood for the club! ¡°Do you?¡± Tang Shu picked up the new kick target and threw it at her feet. ¡°I heard that you could break it with one kick. I want to see it.¡± Beads of sweat began to flow from Tang Yuan¡¯s forehead. She said helplessly, ¡°Yesterday was all a coincidence. Besides, it¡¯s such a good target. It would be a pity to break it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Tang Shu smiled generously. ¡°It will be under my care if you break it.¡± The club president frowned. For a moment, he could not understand why Tang Shu would mention this at this time. What could Tang Yuan gain from kicking the target in front of everyone? Unless¡­ The club president suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Tang Shu in a daze. Unless she was very sure that Tang Yuan could not break the target! Only then did the president realize that Tang Shu must be a bad person. Whether it was because of the word-of-mouth gossip at school, or the lovely note left behind, they were inevitably led by the nose. He thought about what they had just done and felt his face burn. The club president looked up at Tang Yuan angrily. ¡°I also want to see it with my own eyes. Yuan Yuan, why don¡¯t you demonstrate it in front of us?¡± ¡°No!¡± Tang Yuan shook her head vigorously, her eyes red. ¡°How can I do that in front of so many people?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t dare, right? Goddess of the club, do you have the ability?¡± Lin Xiang sneered. She did not know how Tang Shu learned taekwondo. She could just ask Tang Shu in detail later. Seeing Tang Yuan suffer, she felt extremely happy. ¡°No,¡± Tang Yuan cried out. She looked at the club president in panic. ¡°Don¡¯t you believe me? I really like taekwondo. I accidentally kicked your target yesterday so I wanted to compensate you!¡± Chapter 36 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The club president ignored her weakness. Instead, the little fatty could not stand it anymore. ¡°President, why are you making things difficult for the goddess with Tang Shu? There are so many people watching. Of course, a young lady like her will feel embarrassed.¡± ¡°Tsk, I said you¡¯re brainless, but you really prove to me that you are.¡± Lin Xiang sneered with disdain. ¡°You b*tch! Who are you calling brainless?!¡± The little fatty picked up the bottle beside him and wanted to throw it over. From the corner of his eye, he saw Tang Shu¡¯s cold gaze. His stomach was still hurting. He put down the bottle in fear, but he still scolded, ¡°No wonder everyone says that you¡¯re Tang Shu¡¯s dog. You really dare to bite anything for Tang Shu. I think you¡­¡± Before the fatty could finish his sentence, he was kicked into the air. His back hit the wall with a loud thud. The club members panicked. This little fatty was at least 100 kilograms, yet he could fly so far like a piece of foam. The club president helped the coughing little fatty up and looked at Tang Shu with lingering fear. ¡°You¡­ I thought you didn¡¯t know taekwondo?¡± Tang Shu glanced at Tang Yuan, who was trembling. ¡°That¡¯s what my sister said. I didn¡¯t say anything.¡± Everyone could clearly see that even an expert at a proper competition would find it difficult to do this, let alone them. The fatty felt as if his insides had shifted. Two heavy blows in a row made his stomach churn with pain. He lifted his shirt and looked. The bruised footprints on his belly were shocking. ¡°You¡­¡± The fat boy could not get a word out. His chest hurt like it was being ripped apart. However, he did not say anything. The club president understood what he meant. ¡°The person who left the note yesterday was actually you, right?¡± The club president clenched his fists and panted angrily. He looked at Tang Shu with bloodshot eyes. ¡°It¡¯s Tang Yuan,¡± Tang Shu replied with a smile. However, anyone with a discerning eye could tell what was going on. Moreover, Tang Yuan had just said that Tang Shu did not know taekwondo at all. Which of these women¡¯s words was true?! The club president was furious. He pointed at the equipment that was about to be taken away and questioned Tang Yuan, ¡°Who exactly bought it? And who left the note?¡± Damn it, they would have been fooled by this woman from beginning to end! To think that he trusted her so much and spoke up for her, but in the end, he became a huge joke! ¡°It¡¯s really me. Why don¡¯t you believe me but believe my sister?¡± Tang Yuan¡¯s entire body was trembling. The temperature of her hands and feet suddenly dissipated, leaving only coldness. No, she could not let them expose her, or she would be too ashamed to face anyone. ¡°Miss Tang, your brother just called the shop.¡± The salesperson was stunned by her kick and interjected fearfully. Tang Shu nodded. ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°Your brother contacted the shop and offered 200,000 yuan to renovate the classroom where you want to learn taekwondo. Do you think this one or¡­¡± The salesperson looked at Tang Shu in admiration. This was their God of Fortune! ¡°Brother!¡± Tang Yuan looked at the salesperson with red eyes. ¡°Did Brother say what he prepared for me?¡± The salesperson lowered his eyes and denied, ¡°No, Mr. Tang only said that he was renovating a decent taekwondo training room for his sister, Tang Shu. He didn¡¯t mention anyone else.¡± ¡°That¡¯s Shu¡¯s biological brother. What kind of sister are you?¡± Lin Xiang glared at Tang Yuan. ¡°I¡¯m afraid some people can¡¯t hide their tricks anymore. You failed to snatch credit from Shu and now you even want to snatch her brother¡¯s good deeds?¡± ¡°How about this?¡± Tang Shu took out her phone and called Tang Shun. ¡°I¡¯ll call to confirm.¡± Tang Yuan¡¯s face turned pale. She had only said that in a moment of desperation to regain some dignity. If Tang Shun really¡­ did not care about her, would she not be shooting herself in the foot? ¡°I¡­ I know that I¡¯m the younger sister and can¡¯t compare to your relationship with your biological sibling, but Brother is also very good to me. Sister, you can¡¯t bully me in front of so many people. Can¡¯t you tolerate me?¡± Tang Yuan cried pitifully and accused Tang Shu loudly. Not to mention the people in the club, even the salesperson frowned impatiently. It was said that the Tang family treated their young miss very badly. From the looks of it, there was a reason for that. The salesperson despised her in his heart. How could such an unpresentable person compare to the elegant Tang Shu? Anyone with a discerning eye could tell what was going on. Tang Yuan was still causing trouble. The sales assistant¡¯s phone rang. He picked it up, looked at the display, and put it on speaker. ¡°How¡¯s the business I gave you? Does my sister like it?¡± Chapter 37 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°There¡¯s a problem here for the time being.¡± The salesperson relayed the situation word by word. When Tang Shun heard this, he could not help but sneer. ¡°Tang Yuan, I gave that to my sister, Tang Shu. It has nothing to do with you. I only have Tang Shu as my sister.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t know that Tang Yuan still wants to chase Tang Shu out of the Taekwondo Club!¡± Lin Xiang interrupted at the right time. Tang Yuan¡¯s face was so pale that it was almost transparent. Her entire body went limp. She just wanted to leave this classroom and never appear in front of anyone again. However, Tang Shun was still angry. When he heard this, he was even angrier. Mu Zheng, who was sitting beside him, stood up when he heard this. Tang Shun grabbed his phone with one hand and roared. His voice was deafening in the classroom. Every word was like a pair of large transparent hands that ruthlessly tore down the persona that Tang Yuan had spent so much effort building. ¡°Tang Yuan! Why are you so vicious?! Do you have to make everyone hate my sister? Let me tell you, Tang Shu is my biological sister. Since you dare to provoke her, don¡¯t blame me for being rude! Just you wait. Aren¡¯t you the best at pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy? Then cry properly. I¡¯ll deal with you when you come back!¡± Tang Yuan bit her lower lip. Seeing that the entire classroom had changed, none of the members who had defended her just now stood up for her. She could no longer tolerate such grievances and ran out of the activity room. Tang Shun wanted to say something else, but Tang Shu rubbed her ears and interrupted his anger. ¡°I like it very much, but I want to change places. I don¡¯t want to give it to this club anymore.¡± When Tang Shun heard Tang Shu¡¯s cold voice, his anger instantly disappeared. Even through the screen, he could almost see Tang Shu¡¯s fawning expression. ¡°Okay, okay, okay. I¡¯ll specially get you an activity room to learn taekwondo, okay? You can learn it with the members you like.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll hang up first.¡± Tang Shu gestured for the salesperson to hang up. She raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at the few people who had just spoken up for Tang Yuan. The club president lowered his head in shame. What else did he not understand? When he thought of how they had treated Tang Shu just now and listened to Tang Shun¡¯s remarks on the phone, he realized that they had unintentionally offended the person they should not have offended. It was all because of that hypocritical Tang Yuan! The club president was filled with regret, but there was no medicine for regret in this world. They had to take responsibility for what they said. They could no longer say a complete sentence in front of Tang Shu. They could only lower their heads and watch helplessly as the expensive equipment they had obtained was all taken away. After admiring their pale faces, Tang Shu and the other two left the activity room happily. Lin Xiang heaved a long sigh of relief, but before she could catch her breath, the dean walking toward her almost made her choke on her own saliva. ¡°Tang Shu, come to the office with me.¡± The dean turned around and left expressionlessly. ¡°Shu, will you be okay? She never liked you.¡± Lin Xiang pulled her back worriedly, unwilling to let her face the unknown alone. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, go back to the classroom first.¡± Tang Shu comforted Lin Xiang and followed the dean to the office. After their brief confrontation yesterday morning, the dean should have been quieter in front of her. The reason why Tang Shu was slandered by Tang Yuan¡¯s brainless fans for hitting someone on the field was that she had gone to look at the surveillance video on the field with the dean. Tang Shu did not expect that a middle-aged woman like the dean would be easily charmed by Tang Yuan. Yesterday, the dean brought her back to the office and scolded her in front of all the teachers. Initially, the dean planned to use this opportunity to teach Tang Shu a lesson so that she would not be so arrogant in the future and not do anything to harm Tang Yuan. If Tang Shu did not listen to her advice, she could use the convenience of being a teacher to dismiss Tang Shu and teach her a lesson. However, no matter how much the dean scolded her, Tang Shu remained indifferent. She looked at her expressionlessly. When the dean stopped to rest, she said coldly, ¡°Are you done scolding? Aren¡¯t you going to check the surveillance cameras?¡± Tang Shu was not worried about her situation at all because she saw a camera there. The dean was stunned by her words. He wanted to convince this girl not to take any chances. In order not to let others find any mistakes, she really brought Tang Shu to the surveillance room. However, the surveillance videohit the dean in the face. The video clearly captured the scene of the beating. It was obvious that someone had hit Tang Shu, and Tang Shu had only pulled Tang Yuan over to block the bullet¡­ Chapter 38 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Tang Shu looked at her expression coldly. Initially, Tang Shu thought that she would not help Tang Yuan find trouble with her in the short term. However, Tang Shu was only puzzled for a moment. When she saw the person who appeared in the form teacher¡¯s office, she knew what was going on. Sung Wen pointed fiercely at Tang Shu, who had just entered. ¡°Mom, it¡¯s her! She¡¯s the one who stuffed the spider into my mouth and¡­ in my pants!¡± ¡°You shameless little girl, how can you be so cruel and do such a thing? What¡¯s wrong with my son? Why are you treating him like this?¡± Sung Wen¡¯s mother was already an old woman, but she could tell that time had not left many marks on her face. Gu Zheng was still charming. ¡°Wait a moment. Things haven¡¯t been cleared up yet.¡± It was rare for the dean to say something fair. It seemed that yesterday¡¯s incident had left a shadow in her heart. She did not trust Tang Yuan that much anymore. ¡°What¡¯s there to understand?! My son has been treated so cruelly. Why didn¡¯t the teachers in your school expel her earlier? Call her parents over. I want to see how the Tang family teaches their daughter!¡± Gu Zheng wanted to rush up and slap Tang Shu a few times to see how she could still show that calm expression. ¡°I just called Tang Shu¡¯s mother. She¡¯s already on her way here. She¡¯ll be here soon.¡± The dean wiped his sweat and comforted Gu Zheng to sit in the chair first. The surveillance cameras in the classroom had never been turned on, but the dean decided to handle it carefully this time. For some reason, she suddenly believed that Tang Shu would not do such a thing for no reason. Perhaps there was really a reason. She subconsciously looked up at Tang Shu. Sure enough, there was no change in expression on Tang Shu¡¯s calm face. She just stood there quietly and watched them make a scene. When Han Mei arrived, Tang Shu had already been standing in the office for half an hour. Han Mei did it on purpose. When Tang Yuan called her just now, she finally realized how much Tang Shu had wronged her precious daughter today. Therefore, when she received a call from the dean, Han Mei rejoiced. ¡®Let¡¯s see how I¡¯ll avenge my daughter!¡¯ ¡°I¡¯m sorry I¡¯m late.¡± Han Mei apologized to the dean in embarrassment. Looking at Tang Shu, who was the only one standing in the room, she felt happy. ¡°The Tang family is so arrogant.¡± Gu Zheng rolled her eyes. ¡°They made us wait here for half an hour!¡± ¡°I¡¯m really sorry. I can¡¯t leave the house for a while.¡± Han Mei turned to Tang Shu worriedly. ¡°Shu, what happened? Why do you need to call your parents? You¡¯re not young anymore. Why are you still causing trouble? If your father finds out, he¡¯ll be angry.¡± ¡°Miss Tang put a palm-sized spider into my son¡¯s pants. How inhumane. Are all the daughters of the Tang family like this?¡± Gu Zheng pointed at Han Mei¡¯s nose and was not polite at all. Han Mei looked at Tang Shu in shock. ¡°Shu, how could you do such a thing? Quickly apologize to her.¡± ¡°It¡¯s our fault for not taking good care of our child. Tell us how we can compensate you.¡± Han Mei did not care about the exact reason at all. As soon as she heard Gu Zheng¡¯s accusation, she knew that Tang Shu was in big trouble this time. She knew Gu Zheng. Her family was working with the Tang family. Even if Tang An was present, he would not let Tang Shu off. ¡°Hmph, leave Tang Shu to us. You don¡¯t have to worry about anything else. My mother naturally has a way to teach her how to be a new person!¡± When Sung Wen saw Tang Shu, who had not said a word after Han Mei arrived, he thought that Han Mei had grasped Tang Shu¡¯s life. He raised his head proudly and looked at Tang Shu. He wanted to see if Tang Shu still dared to be so arrogant. Han Mei paused for a moment. Seeing that Gu Zheng did not object and looked like she was going along with her son, she was delighted. She quickly put on a troubled expression and gently put her hand on Tang Shu¡¯s shoulder to persuade her. ¡°Shu, be good and follow her. You¡¯re just apologizing to her. Who asked you to cause such big trouble?¡± Sung Wen¡¯s eyes lit up. As long as Tang Shu went back with them, she would be at their mercy! He could not wait to see Tang Shu kneel and beg him! Chapter 39 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Sung Wen wanted to make her arrogant appearance disappear. When she knelt to apologize to him in front of the Sung family, he would pretend to forgive her generously. However, he had a group of lecherous friends. Tang Shu was quite good-looking, so he would give her to them for fun. Sung Wen had a good plan, but he waited for Tang Shu¡¯s reaction for a long time. He was a little impatient. ¡°Tang Shu, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and follow us.¡± Tang Shu glanced at him and said calmly, ¡°Where did I get a palm-sized spider?¡± Sung Wen choked. He had entrusted his friend to get that spider. He could not let his mother know about this, or she would skin him alive! ¡°How do I know where you got it from?¡± Sung Wen retorted, not feeling guilty at all. Gu Zheng looked at Han Mei unhappily. ¡°If your family doesn¡¯t repent today, don¡¯t blame me for asking my husband to cancel your family¡¯s business!¡± ¡°No, no, no.¡± Han Mei looked anxious, but she was overjoyed. ¡°Shu, hurry up and follow her. Just listen to her. Otherwise, if your father finds out, it won¡¯t be easy to clean up the mess.¡± The dean felt that this was very inappropriate. After all, Tang Shu was a girl. How could she follow others back home? If anything happened¡­ The dean more or less knew about Sung Wen. He usually looked like a gangster. If Tang Shu followed him, she would probably die. ¡°Why don¡¯t you let Tang Shu apologize to Sung Wen here?¡± The dean persuaded with a smile. ¡°Why? My son is the victim!¡± Gu Zheng had long disliked the teachers in this school. ¡°Even her mother agreed. What right do you have to object?¡± Tang Shu sneered and looked over. ¡°She¡¯s not my mother. She¡¯s not worthy. My mother is long dead.¡± Han Mei¡¯s face turned pale. How dare she say that she was not worthy in public?! Han Mei could no longer maintain her gentle facade and said sternly, ¡°Shu, why are you so insensible? How can you delay your father¡¯s business? Your father earned all your food and clothes. Your father has already worked hard enough. Do you still want to cause trouble for him?¡± ¡°If Father is tired of working, he can hand the company over to my brother.¡± Tang Shu did not even look at Han Mei. Sung Wen was so angry that he laughed. Today, he would teach this woman a lesson on behalf of the goddess and her mother! ¡°Tang Shu, this is a chance I¡¯m giving you. If you don¡¯t take advantage of it, do you want us to drag you to the police station?¡± Sung Wen¡¯s tone was threatening. He was confident that he could control Tang Shu. He did not believe that Tang Shu would be so stubborn and unafraid of anything! Tang Shu nodded without any fear on her face. ¡°Then I have a question. Why didn¡¯t you stay in your class? Why did you come to our class?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Sung Wen subconsciously glanced at Gu Zheng and suddenly met her suspicious gaze. Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly looked away. ¡°Can¡¯t I go find a friend?¡± ¡°Which friend?¡± Tang Shu tilted her head, her eyes seemingly calm. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business!¡± Sung Wen was so nervous that even his cheeks were burning. Sweat broke out on his forehead and heat rose on his face. ¡°Tang Shu, what does this have to do with you? What you should do now is listen to me. Do whatever I tell you to do.¡± ¡°Are you going to look for He Wei?¡± Tang Shu ignored his bluff. When she saw that he was relieved to hear her mention He Wei, she suddenly changed the topic. ¡°Or are you going to look for Tang Yuan?¡± Sung Wen¡¯s heart was in her throat. ¡°Don¡¯t drag Yuan Yuan into this. What does this have to do with her?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Shu. If Yuan Yuan was present, she would definitely advise you not to do such a thing.¡± Han Mei frowned unhappily, afraid that if Tang Shu said anything more, Yuan Yuan would be slandered by her. ¡°I haven¡¯t said anything yet. Why are you so anxious to protect her? Are you feeling guilty?¡± Tang Shu turned to Han Mei and stared at her evasive gaze. ¡°From the time you came here until now, you haven¡¯t even understood the details of what happened. How do you know that this has nothing to do with Tang Yuan? Or do you know everything and are pretending to be confused?¡± Tang Shu took a step forward and looked down at Han Mei. The two of them were so close that if Tang Shu lowered her head slightly, their foreheads would touch. The immense pressure from Tang Shu made Han Mei panic for a moment, and she forgot to refute her. Tang Shu did not miss any of her subtle expressions. She deliberately lowered her voice and said coldly in Han Mei¡¯s ear, ¡°Tang Yuan has already told you everything that she has caused, right?¡± Chapter 40 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Han Mei.¡± Tang Shu took a step away in disdain. The perfume on this old woman was too pungent. ¡°After all, you¡¯re my father¡¯s wife in name now. If you¡¯re threatened by others, you¡¯ll hurriedly give the daughter left behind by the first wife to your so-called business partner. Do you think the other party will laugh their heads off if they hear about this? If my father loses face because of this, do you think he¡¯ll still protect you?¡± Tang Shu glanced at Sung Wen coldly. ¡°Who do you think you¡¯re threatening? No matter what, I¡¯m the eldest daughter of the Tang family on the surface. You openly asked me to go with you and do whatever you want with me. Aren¡¯t you slapping my father¡¯s face? I think you¡¯re the ones who don¡¯t want to continue working with the Tang family, right?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t accuse me!¡± Sung Wen was furious. ¡°If you hadn¡¯t injured me first, why would I be here? Could it be that according to you, I can be injured for the sake of the business between the two families?¡± Tang Shu sneered. ¡°Sung Wen, if you want me to apologize, show me the evidence. You can drag me into the police station and get someone to investigate why there¡¯s such a big spider in my desk. I want to know where this thing came from.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Sung Wen¡¯s face turned pale. Damn it, why did he not know that the usually taciturn Tang Shu was so eloquent? He looked at Gu Zheng pleadingly and grabbed her arm. His voice was trembling slightly. ¡°Mom, look at her.¡± ¡°Also.¡± Tang Shu looked up with a cold and mocking gaze. ¡°Sung Wen, let me tell you the truth. Before yesterday, I couldn¡¯t remember who you were at all. I¡¯ve always been honest and don¡¯t like to make friends. Why do you seem to be very familiar with me?¡± She sized up Sung Wen with interest. ¡°But speaking of which, you should have a good relationship with my sister, right? After all, you just defended her. Last night, she slandered me for hitting her. Today, you came to complain to the teacher. It¡¯s strange. I don¡¯t know how I offended my sister, but she actually colluded with outsiders to deal with me.¡± ¡°No, it has nothing to do with Yuan Yuan. Mom, don¡¯t listen to her!¡± Sung Wen looked at Gu Zheng¡¯s hand in a daze and said with a sobbing tone, ¡°Mom, I was injured by this vicious girl. How can I get married in the future? You only have one son, and I¡¯m the only heir of the Sung family!¡± Gu Zheng tapped his forehead. ¡°Shut up. Do you think your mother is a fool or that I¡¯m deaf and blind? Do you think I don¡¯t know about you and that little girl from the Tang family?¡± At this moment, Gu Zheng did not have the time to pursue Tang Shu¡¯s vicious methods. She turned around and pointed at Han Mei angrily. ¡°The good daughter you raised instigated my son to do such a thing. Are you using my son as a tool? Where¡¯s Tang Yuan? Get her here!¡± ¡°Madam Gu, don¡¯t listen to her nonsense. Yuan Yuan is the most obedient and sensible. Perhaps your son saw that Yuan Yuan was bullied and was angry, so¡­¡± ¡°Alright, now you¡¯re in a hurry to push all the blame to my son. Don¡¯t tell me that your daughter isn¡¯t responsible at all?¡± Gu Zheng was so angry that she laughed. The instigator still wanted to clear her name? Dream on! ¡°Sung Wen, listen carefully. You¡¯re rushing to curry favor with her, but she has no intention of protecting you. If you still want some face, stay away from Tang Yuan in the future. If you dare to get involved again, I won¡¯t let you off! At most, I¡¯ll have another child with your father. The Sung family doesn¡¯t want a useless son like you.¡± ¡°Mom! Tang Shu was the one who harmed me. I¡¯m innocent.¡± Sung Wen cried and grabbed Gu Zheng¡¯s hand. He was no longer as arrogant as before. At the end of the day, he was just an idiot who relied on his family¡¯s power to intimidate others. Otherwise, he would not have been able to do something like stuffing spiders into someone¡¯s desk. Gu Zheng was not in the mood to care about her disappointing son. She turned to look at Tang Shu sternly. ¡°Sung Wen played a trick on you first. He¡¯s in the wrong, but you¡¯re so ruthless at such a young age. Let me remind you kindly. If you¡¯re too stubborn, you¡¯ll break easily. Aren¡¯t you afraid of retribution?¡± Tang Shu raised her eyebrows. If there was really retribution for the people she had killed and the crimes she had committed, she would have died thousand times over. Tang Shu was not afraid of retribution. She was only afraid that it would come too late, and those people would still be able to live freely! ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me, Auntie.¡± Tang Shu¡¯s gloomy gaze seemed to come from the abyss of hell. She stared straight at Sung Wen, her gaze slowly moving down between his legs. ¡°This has just begun.¡±
