414: Returning to her ancestral roots, Chu Ling officially changed her name to Tang Ling!

"Woof woof woof ~ ~ Woof woof woof ~ ~ ~ ~"

(Woof-speak: You vicious woman! This Lord Wangcai is magnanimous, so I'll spare your backside for now! If you dare to disrespect Lord Dog again, hmph, this Lord Wangcai will surely teach you a good lesson on how to be a person ~ ~ ~)

...Two and a half minutes later, the human-dog farce in the Tang Family living room finally drew to a temporary close.

Under the Tang Family's soothing, Wangcai, understanding that "a dog should leave a line for future meetings," strutted out with an arrogant, unconcerned gait, following the butler.

And so, a world where only the Fake Heiress was injured was completed... She clutched her two buttocks, gasping in pain and shedding tears. (꒦_꒦)

So this is what it feels like to be bitten by a dog?

Pain!!!

It hurts so much!!!!!!!

That damned Golden Retriever, if I ever get a chance, I'll turn it into a dog meat hotpot to avenge my backside!!!!!!!!!!

Tang Rou thought fiercely, lying on the room's sofa, receiving treatment from the family doctor.

Unable to swallow her anger, she turned to look at Tang Guoan and his wife, intending to ask them to find a way to get revenge for her, but found that both seemed to be lost in thought, showing no concern for her injury, giving off a distracted feeling.

This left Tang Rou both shocked and angry, her eyes red!!!

She remembered how, in the past, even if she accidentally scraped a little skin, Dad Tang and Mom Tang would be incredibly distressed, showering her with care.

But now, they were indifferent... "Father, Mother! Woo woo woo... Look, Wangcai is actually biting people now?"

"It's fine if it bites me, Xiao Rou can endure it, but if it bites someone else, that would be troublesome."

"I suggest sending it to a dog training center for a period to temper its personality..."

"..."

Tang Rou, with teary eyes, kept playing the victim, trying to reawaken Dad Tang and Mom Tang's concern for her.

Unfortunately, her usual foolproof tactics now had little effect.

Upon hearing about sending Wangcai away, Xu Shuyun shook her head repeatedly, refusing without hesitation.

o(￣ヘ￣o#)..."No! Wangcai can't handle hardship, I can't bear to send it away."

"Besides, you weren't seriously hurt, just a few bites! Just apply some medicine and bandage it up, right?"

"Putting aside the facts! Don't you think you're also at fault? Wangcai is usually so well-behaved, why did it suddenly attack and bite you for no reason???"

"You should reflect on yourself, look for reasons within yourself! Think about why Wangcai bit you and not others?"

"..."

??????

Tang Rou was completely stunned ⊙▃⊙, unable to believe such outrageous words could come from Xu Shuyun's mouth?!

Before her gaping mouth could close, Tang Guoan impatiently waved his hand, perfunctorily saying:

"Since you're fine, then just rest and recover here! Xiao Xuan and the others are still in the living room, your Mother and I need to entertain the guests."

With that, the couple ignored the Fake Heiress's ugly expression and successively left the room.

Living room.

Seeing Tang Guoan and his wife come out, Lin Xuan feigned a few words of concern.

"Uncle, is Cousin Tang Rou alright?"

"Nothing serious! No big problem, don't panic." Tang Guoan smiled and nodded.

"That's good, that's good! By the way, Uncle, you just said you were planning to hold a 'Family Recognition Banquet' to formally welcome Cousin Chu Ling home? Is that true?"

"It's true! I plan to announce the issue of the two children's swapped identities at the 'Family Recognition Banquet'. Only then can Xiao Ling rightfully return to the Tang Family, and there won't be rumors flying around outside!"

"That's true! Cousin Chu Ling's matter really should have a resolution!"

"Yes! Dragging it on is not an option! I plan to discuss the 'Family Recognition Banquet' formally with your other Cousins once they return home. Also, Xiao Ling, the name on your household registration should be changed; from now on, it will be Tang Ling!"

"..."

Chu Ling, suddenly mentioned, paused for a moment. After clearly hearing Tang Guoan's words, she softly said "Mm," her face filled with unexpected joy, the curve of her lips impossible to suppress.

From now on, she would also have a real home... Finally, she could shed the character "Chu," completely sever ties with the painful past, and walk towards happiness... At this moment, her name was... Tang Ling.

"Child, don't cry! You've been wronged all these years, but from now on, Dad and Mom will make it up to you properly."

Seeing her precious daughter excitedly shed tears, Xu Shuyun quickly stepped forward to comfort her, speaking softly.

(ﾉ"◑ ◑)ﾉ"(｡•́︿•̀｡)...In the room, Tang Rou, separated by only a door, heard everything Dad Tang and Mom Tang announced in the living room.

Her fists were clenched, her breathing was rapid, and her lips were almost bitten until they bled.

"Family Recognition Banquet"?!

And to announce Chu Ling's... no, Tang... Ling's identity at the banquet?!

Damn it, do this couple even know what they're doing? How could they make such a decision without consulting her?!

If this "Family Recognition Banquet" is held, what will she do???

Won't the entire Magic City know that she is the Fake Heiress who usurped the position?

How could she face her former friends and relatives then?! Wouldn't that be putting her on a spit roast?

Could they really just casually discard eighteen years of close family affection for the sake of their biological daughter???

Had the warmth and companionship of the past truly become dispensable... Tang Rou's face was distorted with rage, completely breaking down.

She had thought that even if they were to acknowledge their biological daughter, Dad Tang and Mom Tang would at least discuss it with her and consider her feelings before making a decision.

At the very least, they would treat her as their own and announce to the outside world that both were the Tang Family's biological daughters... This was the biggest concession she could make!!!!!!!

Who would have thought that this couple would act first and then inform, let alone discuss it, and their decision was even more disheartening.

She was still a bit confused, unable to believe that Dad Tang and Mom Tang, who had always "held her in their hands for fear of dropping her, and held her in their mouths for fear of melting her," would become so heartless and indifferent in such a short time... Just as Tang Rou was disheartened and wallowing in self-pity...

Her phone received a message from Tang Chuan, asking if Lin Xuan had come to visit and other details... Looking at the words of concern, Tang Rou jolted, and suddenly pulled herself together again.

That's right, things hadn't deteriorated to an irreversible point... Tang Rou felt she could still salvage the situation!!!!

Even if she lost the favor of Dad Tang and Mom Tang, she still had the care of her older brother, older sister, and grandfather; she hadn't completely lost this battle for the true and Fake Heiress!!!!
