Chapter 419: Tang Rou Calls for Outside Reinforcements; the Candied Hawthorn Seven Siblings Assemble!

The Tang Residence.

After learning that Tang Ling could also hear her nephew’s inner voice……..

Tang Guoan’s face was full of relief, so happy that he was like a child, waving his arms about.

“So…. Tang Ling, you’re also a lucky one favored by Heaven, a chosen daughter of destiny?”

“Good, good, good! Just as expected of my daughter, blessed with great fortune. Hahaha~~~”

“………….”

Tang Ling covered her mouth and giggled.

She was also very pleasantly surprised. She had not expected that Tang Dad and Tang Mom, just like her, were both a one-in-ten-thousand chosen ones!!!

That being the case, there was now an even more special tacit understanding between the three of them.

It was a sense of belonging tighter than family affection, a connection even closer-knit, and a pride that only those who had been chosen could experience………

This must be the legendary…. family chosen by destiny, right?!!

If one more heaven-chosen son of destiny showed up, then wouldn’t the three of them be able to make a whole table of destiny mahjong on the spot?!

“Dad, Mom? Do you think in this world……..”

“There might also be other children of God like us?”

“……….”

Since everything had been spoken plainly between them, Tang Ling stopped being coy and boldly voiced her guess.

She felt that the key to whether one could overhear Lin Xuan’s inner thoughts and become one of the chosen……..

Perhaps…… lay in blood relation………

After all, the three of them all had a blood relationship with Lin Xuan!!!

“Mm, I think your inference has a high probability.” Xu Shuyun narrowed her eyes slightly, thoughtful. “From what I’ve observed, Tang Rou can’t hear the inner voice. Otherwise, these past few days, she wouldn’t have reacted like that……..”

In Lin Xuan’s inner voice, he had basically already said all kinds of bad things about the fake heiress.

If Tang Rou could really hear her cousin’s inner voice, she definitely would have taken some countermeasures, instead of being as passive as she was now.

Sure enough, biological and non-biological really were different……..

Tang Rou was an ordinary, mediocre person. In the end, she wasn’t on the same path as people of destiny like them.

…………..

“If it really has to do with blood ties… then wouldn’t Tang Chuan and the others be able to hear it too?”

“Eh! That actually is possible…… last time my nephew said that Tang Chuan would be tricked into going to Myanmar and spend the second half of his life miserably……….”

“I thought I’d have to use force to suppress him to keep that stubborn brat here.”

“But before I could say two sentences, he took the initiative to say he’d stay, and he cleanly agreed to our demand that he bring his girlfriend home………”

“…………..”

At this point, Tang Guoan also spoke up, frowning slightly.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of the girlfriend Tang Chuan had mentioned, “Wu Mengmeng” ……….

Wu Mengmeng? Taiwanese?

How strange? It feels familiar somehow.

A little familiar, as though I’ve heard that name somewhere before.

It must be an illusion, right?

After all, I’ve never been to Taiwan. How could I possibly know her???

On the other side.

After hearing her husband’s analysis, Xu Shuyun’s eyes lit up, and she felt it made a lot of sense.

“When you put it that way…. it really isn’t wrong?! The possibility is very high!”

“When Tang Chuan comes home this afternoon, we’ll observe him carefully.”

“If Tang Chuan can also overhear the inner voice, then what about Xiao Hao? Xiao Xue? Can the other kids hear it too?”

“……………”

And so, the three members of the Tang family continued excitedly discussing this as they headed to the dining room for lunch.

Two and a half minutes later, Tang Guoan finally belatedly noticed that one person was missing from the dining table compared to usual.

He turned to the nanny, Auntie Wang, and asked out of habit:

“Where’s Tang Rou? Why didn’t she come down to eat today?”

“Reporting, sir! Miss Rou said she wasn’t eating, that she wanted to… to… starve herself. Sir, Miss is probably just sulking. If you coax her like you usually do, it’ll be fine!”

After hearing Auntie Wang’s respectful answer, the Tang couple frowned.

In the past, Tang Rou often threw childish tantrums like this. Every time, they had to personally go upstairs, lower themselves to coax her, and promise to buy a bunch of expensive gifts before she would calm down and eat.

Now that they thought about it……….

She really did have a full-blown spoiled-princess temper, huh?!

So why hadn’t they felt that way back then?

Instead, they had thought this daughter had true temperament and was very cute?

Their brains really got caught in a door! ￣□￣||

“…………..”

Tang Ling even stopped moving her chopsticks and looked toward Tang Dad and Tang Mom worriedly, secretly muttering in her heart.

Dad and Mom won’t…. go coax that woman downstairs to eat, right?

Hmph, that bitch is just being melodramatic!

She’s even making trouble over eating. She might as well starve to death……….

(＃￣～￣＃)。

Just as Tang Ling ground her teeth in irritation, a piece of fish was placed into her bowl, along with Xu Shuyun’s gentle coaxing.

“Come! Tang Ling, eat more meat! It’s nutritious, eat more.”

“Thank you, Mom.” Tang Ling smiled brightly, took a bite of the fish, and gave a thumbs-up. “What Mom picks out is the tastiest.”

“If it tastes good, then eat all you want. Mom will keep picking more for you!”

Seeing her biological daughter eating with relish, Xu Shuyun smiled, then turned and instructed Tang Guoan:

“Old Tang, don’t bother with that dead girl Xiao Rou.”

“She has hands and feet. If she gets hungry, she’ll naturally find something to eat. These days, no one starves to death. We spoiled her too much before.”

“Sigh, that’s true.” Tang Guoan nodded, basically agreeing.

Then he picked up an abalone and placed it into Tang Ling’s bowl, his face full of expectation, waiting for praise (*?w?)。

“?(′?`?) Daddy’s abalone is sooo tasty~~~~”

“Hehe (#^.^#), if it’s tasty, eat more. If it’s not enough, Dad will have the chef make more.”

“Mmhm (^o^)/~~~~”

“………..”

At this moment, the dining room was full of laughter and joy, the family warm and harmonious.

In Auntie Wang and the others’ eyes, this scene once again made them realize the fake heiress had fallen out of favor, and the true heiress was rising……….

……………

On the second floor, in a pink girlish bedroom.

Tang Rou was lying on her bed, leisurely waiting for Tang Dad and Tang Mom to come up and coax her.

She had already made up her mind!

This time she absolutely could not compromise easily. No matter how many gifts Tang Dad and Tang Mom offered her, it would be the same. They had to understand that she was truly angry this time, and not the kind that could be soothed so easily!!!

[o?｀Д′?o]。

And so, time passed second by second………

Grrrr~~ grrrr~~~~~

When her empty stomach started protesting, Tang Rou could no longer keep calm.

She sprang up from the bed and walked out with a dark face.

What’s going on?!

What exactly are Tang Dad and Tang Mom doing? Why haven’t they come to coax me yet?

Aren’t they afraid I’ll go hungry???

Usually by this time, if she still hadn’t appeared at the dining table, Tang Dad and Tang Mom would’ve already come to persuade her to eat……..

But today, there had been no movement at all, not even a servant had come to invite her???

With a nervous, uneasy heart, Tang Rou went downstairs to the dining room.

Quiet~~~ so quiet~~~

There was not a single person in the dining room~~~~

Tang Rou froze, then hurriedly stopped a maid and asked anxiously:

“Where are my parents? Did they eat lunch?”

“Replying to Miss! Sir went to pick up Young Master Tang Chuan, and as for Madam, she took Miss Ling to the mall to buy clothes.”

??????????????

“What did you say?!” Tang Rou looked utterly disbelieving. Her voice even rose an octave. “Why did nobody call me to eat?!”

Faced with Tang Rou’s fierce gaze, the maid jumped, stammering back: “Sir and madam said…. said that if you’re hungry, you’ll find food yourself, and there’s no need to go upstairs specifically to call you.”

“(owo?) What?! How is that possible? Impossible, absolutely impossible!!!”

“How could Dad and Mom treat me like this? Could it be that Tang Ling, that woman, badmouthed me in front of them?!”

“…………”

Tang Rou cried out in shock, retreating again and again with trembling steps, clearly deeply struck by this cruel reality.

“Miss, if you’re hungry. I can arrange for the kitchen to make some fresh food……..”

“Shut up!!!”

“Eat what?! I’m already full of anger, what is there left to eat?! I might as well starve to death!”

“…………….”

Tang Rou’s face was ashen. She bit her fingernails several times in anger, then ran back to her room in a huff.

She wasn’t eating anymore!!!

Hmph, let’s see who ends up feeling sorry for whom!!!

But in the end, the more Tang Rou thought about it, the more wronged she felt, and she simply could not hold back any longer. With red eyes, she let her tears fall pathetically.

She had never before felt such a strong sense of being neglected and abandoned. It truly felt unbearable!!!

Realizing that Tang Dad and Tang Mom’s hearts had now completely tilted toward that bitch Tang Ling,

Tang Rou knew very well that if she did not sound the horn of counterattack now, everything she currently possessed might really be snatched away by Tang Ling bit by bit………

“There’s no helping it! I can only ask for outside help now!”

Having no other choice, Tang Rou decided to ask her brothers and sisters for help. Now only they could help her……….

She opened WeChat, went into the group chat named [Candied Hawthorn Seven Siblings]!

This was the private chat group of the Tang family’s seven children, perfectly excluding Tang Guoan and Xu Shuyun.

Click!

Then, Tang Rou turned on the front camera and sent out a big headshot of herself crying delicately like pear blossoms in the rain, pitiful and lovable. (?^?)

Very quickly, the six lurking Tang siblings began surfacing one after another.

Some posted meme stickers, some asked with concern, some silently lurked and watched……..

The once-cold group chat gradually became lively.

And during this time, Tang Rou exaggerated and embellished the’”grievances’ she had suffered, instantly drawing the six siblings’ sympathy and shock.

………………………..

The chat log is as follows:

[Eldest Sister Tang Wan’er]:

“(???(???;)what？？？”

[Second Brother Tang Zhihao]:

“What happened? o(⊙▽⊙”a Why is Seventh Sis crying? Did someone bully you?”

[Third Brother Tang Chuan]:

Who? While I’m not there, who dares bully the sister of Tang family’s Third Young Master? They have already chosen the path to death!!!! (??へ??╬)”

[Seventh Sister Tang Rou]:

“I have no food to eat, ┭┮﹏┭┮ wuwuwu~~~~”

“Today Dad and Mom were both busy accompanying Sister Ling and didn’t call me downstairs for lunch.”

“By the time I went downstairs, Mom had already taken Sister Ling shopping at the mall, and there were only leftovers in the kitchen. ???”

“I don’t blame Dad and Mom. It’s only right that they feel sorry for Sister Ling.”

“After all, Sister Ling is the family member who shares blood ties with all of you. And I…. am just a counterfeit who occupied the magpie’s nest……….”

“Actually, I didn’t want to cry, but I just couldn’t hold it back, wuwuwu…. family, Tang Rou’s sorrow is flowing upstream into a river.”

[Fourth Sister Tang Ying]:

“For real or fake? Why do I find that hard to believe? Dad and Mom dote on you so much, how could they possibly treat you like that?”

“If it’s really for real, then I’m actually kind of interested in that biological younger sister now~~~”

[Fifth Sister Tang Xue]:

“Alright! Fourth Sister, Tang Rou is already this upset, so stop rubbing salt in the wound.”

“But all of us are away and busy, so none of us knows exactly what happened.”

“Still, I believe Dad and Mom wouldn’t treat Tang Rou like this for no reason. There must be a misunderstanding.”

“Too bad I’m in the capital right now! I just happen to be taking the Grade-One Chef Certificate exam these days, and it’s a critical period so I can’t leave. Which of you has time to go home?”

[Eldest Sister Tang Wan’er]:

“Fifth Sis’s cooking skills have advanced to this level already? Grade-One Chef Certificate?”

“That’s the National Vocational Qualification Grade One, the highest chef certificate level. It represents the top skill level and profound professional knowledge in the culinary industry.”

“To obtain this level, you have to pass a series of strict exams and assessments, proving that in culinary technique, innovation ability, teamwork, and food safety, you’ve reached the highest standard in the industry.”

“Fifth Sister is really getting more and more outstanding! So impressive~~~ (??????)??”

[Fifth Sister Tang Xue]:

“Thanks for the praise, Big Sis. (????)”

[Eldest Sister Tang Wan’er]:

“Mmhm, keep it up. ヾ(?°?°?)??”

“And I can’t go back for the time being either. Summer vacation is almost here, and I’m busy taking care of the child at home. I’m exhausted~~~”

“Xiao Xiong is too naughty. If I bring him home, I’m afraid it’ll affect Mom and Dad’s rest.”

[Second Brother Tang Zhihao]:

“Big Sister, that son of yours really is a bit… naughty. Even I can hardly stand him.”

“Sigh, I also can’t go home for the time being.”

“I’m still in Myanmar at the moment. Fraud and criminal activity on this side has gotten a bit rampant, and the two countries are preparing to organize a large-scale joint encirclement and arrest operation.”

“A great battle is imminent!”

[Fourth Sister Tang Ying]:

“Don’t ask me! I’m still filming in Hong Kong. Probably need another week or two before wrap.”

“@Third Brother Tang Chuan”

“Oh right, Third Brother! Last time didn’t you say you got in touch with the great God [L]? Is he willing to write a song for your TV drama?”

“My film is about to wrap too, and it still doesn’t have a suitable theme song! So, I also want to ask the great god [L] to write me a song!”

“Money isn’t a problem; he can name any price!”

[Third Brother Tang Chuan]:

“(??へ??╬)？Money? Please don’t insult my idol. How could the great God [L] be that kind of vulgar person?”

“He sees wealth as dirt. Who would care about your few stinking coins!!!”

[Fourth Sister Tang Ying]:

“(⊙o⊙)…………”
