373: Tang Rou suspected that Lin Xuan was the mastermind behind everything?

Two and a half minutes later, Chu Xiong and Tao Yan, both bruised, swollen, and ashen-faced, were each given a pair of silver handcuffs.

Under the strict escort of the police, they successively got into the police cars.

Next, what awaited the couple… would be the righteous judgment!

During this time, Tang Guoan and his wife, as if by unspoken agreement, silently stayed by their biological daughter’s side, caring for her meticulously, completely ignoring Tang Rou, who was on the verge of tears not far away.

“Wuwuwu Ծ ‸ Ծ ~ ~ ~ ~”

Experiencing her parents’ neglect for the first time, Tang Rou’s eyes were red, and small pearls kept falling out.

This time, she wasn’t faking her tears; she was genuinely crying due to feeling wronged.

The main reason was the stark difference in Dad Tang and Mom Tang’s attitude towards her compared to before. How could the always arrogant Tang Rou accept such a sudden drop in status?!

Especially with Chu Ling there for comparison, it felt like a knife twisting in her heart, making her so jealous she almost went mad.

Anyone with eyes could see… because of today’s events, Tang Guoan and his wife’s attitude towards the real and Fake Heiress had completely reversed.

Or rather… the couple had now fully awakened and realized who their biological daughter was, the one they should care for and dote on… Realizing this, Tang Rou, while feeling wronged and jealous, couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of panic.

Although the possibility was only a negligible 5%.

She always had a strong sense of crisis, feeling that she was about to be swept out of the Tang Family, and everything she currently possessed would be snatched away by Chu Ling… “Damn it! If it weren’t for those two idiots, why would I be in such an awkward situation.”

Tang Rou knew very well.

From now on, Dad Tang and Mom Tang’s focus would most likely gradually shift to Chu Ling.

It would be difficult for her to be the Tang Family’s only little princess, as she was in the past!

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but grit her teeth in anger at Mr. and Mrs. Chu Xiong.

If it weren’t for these two meddling… she would definitely still be the center of attention, surrounded by stars. How could Chu Ling have had the chance to overtake her? Or even threaten her position?!

...“Sister, don’t be sad! Dad and Mom don’t not love you, it’s just that Xiao Ling… her background is indeed a bit tragic.”

“I was even moved listening to it, let alone Dad and Mom. Those two… they were really too much. I almost couldn’t resist kicking them a couple of times back then…”

“Dad and Mom, in their excitement, couldn’t help but extend their hatred to you for a moment, which is why they said a few harsh words to you! I believe you can understand, right!”

“But don’t worry, those two beasts… although they are your biological parents! But you are you, you are a member of our family whom we watched grow up, and we will absolutely not be prejudiced against you because of that couple.”

“Once Dad and the others calm down, they will definitely come to apologize to you, and they will continue to be good to you in the future. So don’t be sad!”

“Don’t forget! You still have your third brother by your side, as well as so many brothers and sisters who love you…”

“...”

Just as Tang Rou was filled with anxiety and at a loss, Tang Chuan, who was beside her, suddenly spoke up to comfort her.

( ﾉ " ◑ ◑ ) ﾉ " ( ｡ • ́ ︿ • ̀ ｡ ) .

After all, she was the sister he had watched grow up since childhood, Tang Chuan felt he could guess what she was worried about, and motioned for Tang Rou not to worry.

“However, Xiao Ling has indeed suffered a lot over the years.”

“I only truly empathized with this today. It seems I’ll have to be kinder to her from now on! She is our sister, after all!”

“...”

Having said this, Tang Chuan sighed slightly.

After today’s twists and turns, his impression of Chu Ling had greatly changed.

If he were the one who had been swapped back then… Tang Chuan felt that he might have already had a mental breakdown under the torment of Mr. and Mrs. Chu Xiong, perhaps even before reaching adulthood, he would have committed suicide by slitting his wrists due to unbearable pressure.

It was clear how strong Chu Ling truly was; he couldn’t help but admire her!

“Alright! Get in the car first, Sister! Dad and Mom are urging us!”

Soon.

Tang Chuan shook his head, clearing his mind of distracting thoughts, and without further contemplation, turned to call out to Tang Rou, then got into the car by himself.

Now that the arrest operation was successfully concluded, everyone was ready to leave Chu Family Village… And watching Tang Chuan’s retreating figure, the gloom in Tang Rou’s eyes not only didn’t dissipate but deepened.

Because from Tang Chuan’s words and tone, she heard that his perception of Chu Ling had, unknowingly, become “friendly.”

This was a very bad sign!

Once upon a time, the Tang Family members all revolved around her, and their attitude towards Chu Ling was lukewarm.

But now the wind direction had suddenly shifted dramatically… Tang Rou’s face was grim; she had no idea where the problem had occurred to cause the situation to develop in an uncontrollable direction in such a short period of time… “Cousin Xiao Rou, what are you spacing out for? Get in the car quickly, we’re just waiting for you!”

At this moment, Lin Xuan’s gentle voice came.

Tang Rou looked up and happened to see the meaningful smile on his face through the rear car window.

Hmm?!

It seemed that all the bad changes started from meeting this “Cousin” again… Could it be… No way! ( Ò ω Ó ױ )! No way!!!

At this moment, Tang Rou’s thoughts raced, and she thought of many things.

Finally, she smiled bitterly and shook her head, extinguishing a certain unrealistic idea.

This Cousin was unremarkable, even reduced to selling his masculine dignity and becoming a live-in son-in-law… Where would he get the ability to orchestrate all of this?!

Don’t forget!

Tang Rou had also participated in everything that happened today.

From beginning to end, Lin Xuan had only spoken a few times, always standing by and watching the show.

He wasn't a god; how could he secretly manipulate everything right under her nose?!

In summary, Tang Rou was 95% confident that her miserable experiences of the past few days were ultimately due to her bad luck and had nothing to do with Lin Xuan.

Fortunately, the situation wasn’t too bad yet.

Even if Dad Tang and Mom Tang were no longer close to her, Tang Chuan and her other elder brothers in the family still doted on her as their precious sister.

Therefore, Tang Rou felt… that she still had a promising future.

Immediately after, Tang Rou, having regained her confidence, opened the rear car door.

“Cousin, there’s an empty seat next to you. Can I sit next to you?”

“Of course, I’d be delighted.”

Lin Xuan grinned, pointed to the empty seat beside him, and didn’t mind at all.
