Chapter 400: Chu Xiong and His Wife Want to See Both Daughters? Tell Them to Get Lost!!!

Tang Family Villa.

On the dining table were countless mouthwatering dishes.

Braised pork gleamed a rich red, its aroma bursting forth; steamed fish was tender and delicious, carrying the fresh taste of the sea; emerald-green vegetables were fragrant and crisp, as if proclaiming nature’s gifts…

All kinds of food, like a vividly colored painting, kept releasing tempting scents that teased the appetite.

…………..

“Come, Chu Ling. Ψ(￣?￣)Ψ Eat more nutritious fish, shrimp, and meat. Right now, you should be taking in some high-quality protein to replenish what your body needs.”

“Right, right, right! And drink more chicken soup, and fresh vegetables and stuff—easy to digest and easy for the body to absorb.”

“Oh, and what fruit do you like? Kiwi, apples, bananas, or strawberries? I’ll have Aunt Wang wash some in advance so you can top up your vitamins later.”

“…………”

Chu Ling looked a little tense and uneasy as she sat at the table, accepting Tang Guoan and his wife’s hands-on feeding.

Staring at the huge bowl of ‘mountain and sea delicacies’ in front of her, she softly said, “Thank you,” then gently picked up a piece of braised pork with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth.

In an instant, the perfectly marbled meat danced on her tongue, the rich sauce filling her mouth, Chu Ling almost wanted to cry from happiness.

She chewed carefully, as if she wanted to keep this deliciousness in her memory forever.

Next, Chu Ling impatiently picked up a flake of fish. The tenderness of the steamed fish gave her a kind of satisfaction she had never felt before.

Soon, her chopsticks moved again, and she began eating heartily…

This was the first time in eighteen years she had ever eaten so many precious, luxurious dishes.

It was a stark contrast to the darkness of her past life.

Back then, in Chu Xiong and Tao Yan’s house, she suffered constant abuse, sometimes hungry, sometimes barely fed, unable to even secure the most basic warmth and fullness.

Every day’s food was leftovers and scraps, sometimes it was even coarse grains that were hard to swallow, or pig feed.

Her stomach had long gotten used to those bland, tasteless, sometimes slightly spoiled flavors.

At the time, her biggest dream was simply to drink a bowl of proper plain white rice porridge, just like other kids her age.

Whenever she recalled that darkest period of her life, Chu Ling’s heart would ache faintly, and she’d grit her teeth in hatred at Chu Xiong and his wife!!!

“Ling’er, eat slower. Don’t choke.”

“There’s still lots of good food in the kitchen. Take your time, if it’s not enough, I’ll have the chef make more……….”

On the other side, seeing his daughter wolfing down food, Tang Guoan gently coaxed her, his emotions a tangled mix, relief and guilt alike.

Xu Shuyun silently ladled a bowl of chicken soup for her, tears shimmering in her eyes.

The couple sat quietly across from Chu Ling as she ate, looking at her thin frame and pale face, their eyes filled with heartache for their daughter.

They couldn’t imagine how much suffering their biological daughter had endured over all those years………

At this moment, Tang Guoan and his wife swore in their hearts that they would spend the rest of their lives making it up to her, letting her feel the warmth and happiness of a real family.

At the same time, their hatred for Chu Xiong and his wife surged to the peak!!!!!

Those two animals… really fucking deserve to die!!!!

Perhaps feeling embarrassed under their gaze, Chu Ling blushed and set down her chopsticks.

“Dad, Mom… y-you… you should eat too. Don’t keep staring at me… it’s so embarrassing. (????)”

“Hahaha…. Honey, eat up. Chu Ling’s getting shy from us staring.”

“Okay, ??(???) eat, eat, eat! Eating more is good! Eighteen is the age when you’re still growing!”

“…………”

And just like that, the family ate in warm harmony, chatting happily.

In that gentle atmosphere, Chu Ling gradually relaxed, even able to joke a little with Tang Guoan and Xu Shuyun.

As she joked, tears slipped down her face again without a sound, but they weren’t tears of sadness, they were tears of happiness.

Looking at the smiles on the couple’s faces, Chu Ling’s heart filled with gratitude and warmth, thankful that her biological parents had given her a real home, allowing her to rekindle hope for life.

She finally understood what it felt like to be loved.

She was no longer the poor girl who couldn’t get enough to eat, she was someone with a happy family, someone lucky enough to enjoy good food…

………..

The only one at the table who stayed quiet was Tang Rou, who kept her head down, eating in silence, her mood at rock bottom.

She looked at the table, at that harmonious family.

For the first time in her life, she felt so unnecessary, unable to find even a trace of ‘home’ warmth.

Back then, the one Tang Dad and Tang Mom desperately piled food onto was her, but now…

Tang Rou never would’ve imagined………

That one day, those two would become so biased, and after finding their biological daughter, they would heartlessly abandon her, an adopted daughter they had raised for eighteen years.

Eighteen years!

She had called them ‘Dad’ and ‘Mom’ for a full eighteen years!!!

And all that filial devotion still couldn’t warm their hearts???

Thinking back, she had been so obedient and sensible, excelling in both conduct and academics, earning the couple endless pride and face outside, wasn’t she a hundred times better than Chu Ling, that country bumpkin?

But Tang Dad and Tang Mom?

The moment they found their biological daughter, they tossed her aside like a used tool, completely ignoring her years of effort.

Hmph!

So, this is what a so-called noble, wealthy family is like? Truly cold-blooded and heartless!!!

Just because she wasn’t biological, because her bloodline was different, they treated the two daughters differently, letting that sickly nobody ride on her head and shit and piss all over her?!!!

Sigh~~~

And to think I once even considered…. taking care of them in their old age………

Turns out I was blind. I misjudged them, damn it!!!!!

Two and a half minutes later, the Tang family members, each with their own thoughts. finally finished dinner and were sitting on the sofa eating strawberries…

The white-haired old butler walked over and respectfully asked:

“Sir, ma’am, the detention center sent word. Chu Xiong and his wife are making a scene, insisting on seeing Miss Chu Ling.”

“Those bastards! They still have the nerve to make that request? They want to see Ling? Are they even worthy???”

The moment the old butler finished speaking, Tang Guoan’s face turned icy, and he laughed in anger.

Beside him, Xu Shuyun’s smile froze, her expression instantly dark as water as she replied coldly:

“Tell them. She won’t see them!!!”

The couple weren’t idiots.

Chu Xiong and his wife demanding to see their daughter at a time like this was obviously about pleading for mercy, hoping the Tang family would show leniency and let them off.

As if that was possible?! What a joke!!!

After all the years of how they abused their precious daughter—don’t they have even a shred of self-awareness?

After all that…….

They still had the face to ask for forgiveness??? Where the hell do they get the audacity?! (??へ??╬)
