416: The fake daughter's true identity exposed? [Last day, ask for gifts]

Hearing that the necklace was found in her room, Tang Ling couldn't help but widen her eyes and exclaim repeatedly.

She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, fearing that Dad Tang and Mom Tang would mistake her for a thief… "(ÒωÓױ) Found under my pillow? How is that possible?!"

"I didn't steal it!!! How could I possibly steal Mother's necklace?!"

"Dad! Mom! You have to believe me!!!"

"I know! Someone must be trying to frame me, deliberately putting the necklace under my pillow! That person must be someone in the family..."

"..."

Tang Ling suddenly froze mid-sentence, her brows furrowed, her mind racing.

If anyone in the Tang Family was most likely to frame her and wish her ill... At this moment, Bodyguard Captain Old Chen stepped out from behind Tang Guoan, his round, chubby face filled with righteousness, and said in a pained tone:

"I led the team that found this necklace."

"Regarding Miss Ling's character, I, Old Chen, initially trusted her completely. I originally only intended to search casually to get it over with, but who would have thought..."

"As soon as I lifted the pillow, I saw the hidden diamond necklace."

"Ah~~~ Miss, now the evidence is irrefutable! Just admit it! Confess and be lenient, resist and be dealt with severely! Don't quibble any longer!"

"..."

Bodyguard Captain Old Chen!

He had served the Tang Family for decades, always diligent and conscientious, and both his appearance and work style gave people a sense of honesty and sincerity.

Therefore, most of the people present subconsciously believed his words; no one thought he would frame Tang Ling.

"That's right! I was there at the scene and saw it with my own eyes."

"I saw it too, I can testify."

"And me, we were all maids who entered the room with Captain Chen and can prove that he wasn't lying."

"..."

Several maids came forward one after another to testify, hesitatingly stating what they had seen.

Now, with both human and material evidence, everyone had no choice but to cast their suspicious gazes towards the girl at the center of the storm.

And at this moment!

In the adjacent room, Tang Rou, her smile gone, impatiently forced herself up, clutching her faintly aching bottom with both hands, and limped out.

As soon as she stepped out, tears streamed down her face, and she beat her chest and stomped her feet, putting on a heartbroken act... "Sister Ling, you, you... Oh, you're so foolish!!!"

"The night before last, I heard you say this diamond necklace was beautiful and that you liked it very much, but I never expected..."

"But this necklace, it's not just an ordinary necklace! Mother went to great lengths to acquire it; there's only one in the whole world."

"Facts aside! What you stole was not a necklace at all, but the blood-is-thicker-than-water kinship between our Tang Family and Cousin and Cousin's wife!"

"Oh, Sister, you really are foolish!!! Hurry up and apologize to Cousin's wife! To admit a mistake and correct it is the greatest good!"

"Cousin's wife is beautiful and kind-hearted, I believe she will generously forgive you..."

"..."

These words were flawlessly delivered, earning the admiration of the servants present, who all felt that Miss Tang Rou was truly gentle, magnanimous, and very emotionally intelligent.

On the surface, she seemed to be criticizing Tang Ling's lack of ambition in every sentence.

In reality, she indirectly praised Su Qingge several times.

This way, as long as Tang Ling was willing to sincerely apologize, it would presumably not damage the friendship between the Su Family and the Tang Family... Of course, from Tang Ling's perspective, the other party's words were utterly malicious.

Unilaterally confirming her identity as a "thief," not even giving her a chance to refute?!

Damn it!

How can I prove my innocence?!

Just as Tang Ling was burning with anxiety, pondering how to break the deadlock... "The necklace wasn't stolen by Xiao Ling."

"I believe her."

To everyone's surprise, Su Qingge, who had been silent and observing the situation, spoke, her tone firm.

Hearing this, Tang Ling turned back in astonishment, her eyes meeting Su Qingge's gentle and trusting gaze.

The two girls' eyes met!

Su Qingge's beautiful eyes sparkled with a smile, and she gently nodded at Tang Ling, signaling her not to panic.

"Besides, it's just a necklace worth tens of millions..."

"If Xiao Ling likes it, what's wrong with me giving her a few more? Why would she need to steal?"

"I think, perhaps someone deliberately placed the necklace in her room to frame her."

"..."

As soon as these words were uttered, not only did Tang Rou, who was in the distance, stiffen, but Tang Ling was also moved to tears. o(╥﹏╥)o

Wuwuwu... Sister Qingge is really... so cool!!!!!!

She is beautiful, fierce, and cool, a role model for contemporary women!!!!!!

Tang Ling's face was full of admiration, her eyes sparkling with little stars ♦(ˆ◡ˆԅ)~~~~

In her mind, Su Qingge at this moment was simply radiating light, she loved her, loved her ♦~~~~~

OMG! (づ￣3￣)づ╭♦ Is this what it feels like to be smitten~~~~

..."Exactly! I believe my precious daughter; she couldn't possibly do such a thing!"

"She must have been framed!!!"

With Su Qingge's statement, Tang Guoan, who had recovered his senses, immediately followed suit, firmly stating his position.

In his opinion, the item being found in Tang Ling's room didn't necessarily mean anything.

These days, there were countless ways to frame someone... Especially since the so-called witness was Bodyguard Captain Old Chen, that pervert!!!!!

If it had been before, they might have wavered a bit out of trust in Old Chen.

But ever since they learned that beneath his honest and sincere facade, he actually hid an extremely lewd true nature, their trust had plummeted to nearly zero... Tang Guoan sighed inwardly.

He suddenly thought... if Tang Ling was indeed framed, then the most likely "true culprit" present, and the one with the most to gain, was only one person...

"Old Tang is right, my daughter couldn't be a [thief]."

"It's just a necklace! If she wants one, I can buy her ten or eight anytime; why would she need to steal?"

"Even if she did steal it, it doesn't matter; at worst, I'll get a better one for my Nephew's wife. If my daughter likes this necklace, I can even give it to her."

"..."

Xu Shuyun was full of Domineering (dominance), openly showing her favoritism towards Tang Ling.

She snatched the diamond necklace from Tang Guoan's hand and placed it into the hands of a flattered and deeply moved Tang Ling, indicating that it was now hers.

Immediately, she turned and apologized to Lin Xuan and Su Qingge, promising to send an even more valuable gift.

To this, Su Qingge naturally shrugged indifferently.

In the living room.

Many of the Tang Family's servants were dumbfounded (º Wordº), none of them having expected Tang Ling to be so favored.

When she first returned to the Tang Family, they had seen the Tang Family's lukewarm attitude towards her.

Everyone had secretly underestimated Tang Ling, thinking she was nothing special, and had treated her somewhat negligently and perfunctorily.

But what they witnessed today completely dispelled the servants' complacency.

Indeed, a biological child is a biological child!

Even Tang Ling, who had only just been brought home, had, as expected, quickly surpassed the Fake Heiress, Tang Rou, and snatched away her original "group favorite" halo...

At this moment, the Tang Family servants, who had fully grasped the situation, quietly corrected their attitudes, realizing that Tang Ling was now the true eldest young lady of the Tang Family, with a status even higher than Tang Rou's.

Not far away.

Tang Rou bit her lip tightly, taking in everything that was happening, her face full of disbelief.

She never imagined that everyone would be so tolerant and kind to Tang Ling, this little b*tch; it was simply boundless indulgence!!!!

Not only did they not care about her suspected theft, but a diamond necklace worth tens of millions was given away just like that... The most expensive necklace she had ever worn was only about 1 million. Why should this little b*tch receive such good treatment as soon as she arrived?!

Why???

Comparing oneself to others truly makes one furious?!!

And what about Su Qingge, this woman? Why didn't she play by the rules?!

She had thought she could use this opportunity to sow discord between Tang Ling and the Su Family, but who would have thought... it seemed to have made their friendship even stronger...

Even that little b*tch, her eyes were practically glowing with affection right now, and the air seemed to be filled with a faint scent of lilies...

This scene.

It simultaneously fell into Lin Xuan's eyes, and he twitched the corner of his mouth, speechless for a moment.

Oh dear~~~ The lilies of my hometown~~~ Are they blooming again now~~~~

Chen Kexin just left, surely Tang Ling isn't going to be another one... Gosh~~~

My wife is too popular, she's attractive to everyone, young and old, male and female!!!!

...[I really didn't expect... it would be resolved like this?]

[However, I've now clearly understood one thing: Uncle and Aunt don't seem to be blind or foolish anymore?]

[They're actually protecting their biological daughter so strongly? According to the original plot development...]

[My poor Cousin should have been wrongly accused of stealing money. After it was found in her room, Uncle's family would have indiscriminately branded her a "thief."]

[Although Cousin tried her best to explain, she ultimately couldn't turn the tide, and her status in the Tang Family plummeted, reaching a point where she was detested by everyone.]

[Compared to the current situation, my Cousin seems to have completely turned things around? Gradually escaping her original tragic fate...]

[Actually, this whole incident was very absurd; it was obvious at a glance that my Cousin was being framed.]

[After all, what normal person would so carelessly place stolen items under their pillow? Is it because they're afraid others won't find them???]

[But Uncle's family collectively suffered a drop in intelligence, stubbornly insisting that Cousin stole the item ￣□￣｜｜...]

[Speaking of which, to prevent this incident! When I was at the hospital, I even gave Cousin a toy bear with a camera in its eye, instructing her to place it by her bedside, just in case.]

[Looking at her, →_→ it seems she didn't take my words to heart at all...]

...Toy bear? Camera?

After eavesdropping on her Golden Finger Cousin's thoughts, Tang Ling suddenly slapped her forehead. Oh, her foolish, pig-like brain~~~

She couldn't remember a single bit of it?!

(⇀‸↼‶).

Mainly because ever since she placed the toy bear that day, she had been caught up in various trivial matters, causing her to subconsciously overlook such a monitoring "evidence."

"Dad, Mom! I suddenly remembered..."

"That day at the hospital, Cousin gave me a toy bear with a built-in camera."

"I thought it was cute, so I casually placed it by my bedside. Perhaps... the surveillance inside recorded evidence of the person who framed me?! I'll go get it now..."

"..."

Upon hearing the word "surveillance," the expressions of several people present changed simultaneously, their eyes flustered.

Da da da—

Tang Ling ignored everyone and quickly ran up the stairs to her room to retrieve the toy bear.

As she passed by Tang Rou, whose expression was slightly unnatural, she gave her a deep look and pouted. (￣_,￣)

Heh heh... You're dead!

Clearly, Tang Ling had already concluded that the person who framed her was the Fake Heiress before her... Today, she would tear off the Fake Heiress's hypocritical mask in front of everyone, to avenge the "fake fall down the stairs" from that day.

On the other side.

Tang Guoan and his wife, having regained their senses, exchanged glances, winking at each other, jointly conveying one meaning.

"Could it be... our daughter also has mind-reading abilities? Is she also a chosen one? Σ(⊙▽⊙"a"

Although the couple was surprised by Tang Ling's original tragic fate and their Nephew's foresight in preparing the "toy bear,"

What concerned them more was their precious daughter's reaction.

As soon as their Nephew's thoughts ended, she immediately slapped her forehead and mentioned the "toy bear" she had forgotten... A coincidence, it was too much of a coincidence?!!

It was as if she had also heard her Nephew's thoughts and suddenly realized... At the same time, they also had some hidden worries.

If the person captured in the surveillance video was Tang Rou, then... how should they deal with her?

To be honest, even though the video had not yet been made public... the couple already had 95% absolute certainty that the "thief" who placed the necklace under Tang Ling's pillow was almost certainly Tang Rou... Da da da—

At this moment, Chu Ling had already returned, excitedly hugging the toy bear (๑¯㉨¯๑), quickly skipping down the stairs.

Everyone's gaze was focused on the toy bear (●￣(ｴ)￣●), because inside... it might have recorded the true face of the "thief"...
