Once they arrived at the Tang Manor, Tang Ruochu got out of the car. As she walked through the garden, she wondered where Uncle Zhao was. He should have been gardening, but he was nowhere to be seen.She opened the main gate and walked in with Lu Shengyao. A maid who was cleaning immediately confronted them. "Who are you? How come you just walked into someone's home so casually?"The unfamiliar face of the maid made Tang Ruochu frown. It seemed like Zhao Xiaowan had replaced all the servants in the household, trying to act like the real power in the Tang Family.Tang Ruochu glanced at that servant with fiery eyes as she scolded harshly, "I am Tang Ruochu, the eldest sister of the Tang family."The maid was obviously stunned by her domineering attitude. Then, with a sour tone, she said, "The eldest sister of the Tang family is Miss Ruoruo, how could it be you?""I will call the police if you decide to linger." The servant walked directly to the telephone and was about to call.Tan
Zhao Xiaowan had come back from the hospital last night, but just when she laid down to sleep, she was woken up by a nightmare.In her dream, Tang Song's face was pale and bloodless. He stared at her with gloomy eyes, asking why she had harmed him.She cried and asked him to forgive her, for she had no choice but to harm him."I want you to come with me." Tang Song smiled creepily before rushing to her.She wanted to run but she had been rooted to the ground, immobile.She could only see him squeeze her throat with a sinister grimace. "Zhao Xiaowan, go to hell!"Her breathing became increasingly difficult, and when she had thought that she was about to die, she woke up.When she woke up, she realized that she was strangling herself. She immediately released her hand and sat upright.The dream was too realistic and mysterious.She caressed her neck gently in fear. She still felt as if she was being strangled.Due to fear, she dared not sleep afterwards.Killing Tang Song had
Then, she looked around. "Every nook and cranny here was designed by my mother herself. What qualifies you to say that you are master of the Tang family?"For many years, the manor had retained signs of that woman. Every time Zhao Xiaowan had asked to renovate the house, Tang Song would reject her, saying that Tang Ruochu's mother had designed the house, and so he must preserve it for Tang Ruochu's sake."For Tang Ruochu's sake?" Zhao Xiaowan's lips curled up in a smirk. Tang Song was obviously doing it for himself so that he would not forget his deceased wife.For many years, her disagreements with Tang Song had increased tremendously, eventually exploding. She finally released her hatred by killing her husband.She retracted her thoughts as she stared at Tang Ruochu with eyes of hatred. "So what? I will destroy everything to do with that woman, everything.""You would dare?" Tang Ruochu was frightened by her words. The manor contained many memories she had shared with her mother
In her sleep, Gu Ruoruo heard her mother shriek. She shot up from her bed.She looked at the pitch-black room and thought that she had been dreaming.Then, she heard her mother screaming again.Without much consideration, she left her bed and rushed out of the room.At the staircase, she saw the visitors standing in the living room.Her expression changed as she rushed down, shouting and questioning, "Tang Ruochu, why are you here?"Tang Ruochu turned around and saw Gu Ruoruo rushing in full of anxiety. Her brows raised up as she thought to herself that it was better if everyone was around."This is my house, and I come and go as I wish. Should I inform you before coming here?" Tang Ruochu smiled gently, but her eyes were filled with a murderous chill.Gu Ruoruo walked closer and saw Zhao Xiaowan frowning in pain on the sofa. She walked over and asked anxiously, "Mom, what's wrong with you?""Ruoruo, you are here." Zhao Xiaowan smiled."Um, I came down when I heard your voice
Tang Ruochu felt that Gu Ruoruo must be crazy to take joy in her suffering.Zhao Xiaowan stood up and stared at Tang Ruochu with a cold glare. "Tang Ruochu, you said that I killed your father. Do you have any evidence?""We..."Lu Shengyao was about to speak, but Tang Ruochu pulled him back. He turned and saw Tang Ruochu nodding at him. Then, he pursed his lips and shut his mouth.At this interaction, Zhao Xiaowan and Gu Ruoruo looked at each other. They were sure that Tang Ruochu had no evidence.However, Tang Ruochu had anticipated Zhao Xiaowan's words. As she noticed her confidence in their lack of evidence, she wanted to laugh."Do you think I have evidence?" Tang Ruochu answered their question with one of her own.For an unknown reason, such a question sparked uneasiness in Gu Ruoruo's heart.Zhao Xiaowan saw that her daughter was uncomfortable. So, she gave Ruoruo a comforting gaze before telling Tang Ruochu, "I don't know if you have any evidence, but I truly did not kil
"Soon? Are you sure?" Tang Ruochu did not believe that the police would arrive soon. As Lu Shengyao was about to explain himself, she interrupted him, "Call your bodyguards in and ask them to guard these two. Let's go home."Lu Shengyao was speechless.With widened eyes, Gu Ruoruo watched as two burly men walked up, glaring at them through sunglasses.He had private bodyguards!Gu Ruoruo was even more certain of the mysterious identity of Lu Shengyao."Ruoruo, what should we do now?""Mom, don't panic. Calm down first." Gu Ruoruo comforted her as she glanced carefully at the two burly men.She knew that her mother would probably get arrested. In that case, they just had to accept it.So, she grabbed Zhao Xiaowan's hand and explained it to her. "Mom, since Tang Ruochu had already called the police, you probably can't escape now..."At this, Zhao Xiaowan became flustered. "What should I do then?"Seeing that she had completely lost her composure, Gu Ruoruo pulled her hand and s
He had initially rejected her request to order his bodyguards to watch over Zhao Xiaowan.His reason was that the bodyguards would be unwilling.She was puzzled when she heard such a reason. As his bodyguards, shouldn't they listen to him?Since she did not believe him, Lu Shengyao called the two bodyguards in and ordered them to stay in front of her.The two bodyguards smirked at the same time. One of them rejected Lu Shengyao on the spot. He said, "Young Master, the Old Master sent us to protect you, not to engage in such a boring matter."Tang Ruochu was astonished!She could not believe that his bodyguards were so... full of themselves.Lu Shengyao laid out his palms to show that he had tried his best.However, she had found a way to resolve this problem.She walked directly to the two bodyguards, her tiny face full of smiles. She asked innocently, "Big brothers, are you more afraid of Old Master Lu or Young Master Lu?"The two bodyguards had looked at each other and repl
"My mother loved to draw. I heard that my grandmother nurtured her love of the arts since she was young, and hence she had good skills."Seeing that he kept turning around to look at the drawing on the backseat, Tang Ruochu mentioned her mother voluntarily."The painting is beautiful," Lu Shengyao said, complimenting her sincerely."It's indeed beautiful, but this is the only painting left." At this juncture, Tang Ruochu looked regretful."Why?" Lu Shengyao was curious. Since her mother loved painting, she should have numerous artworks."They were burnt," Tang Ruochu responded casually. "My mother was frail and weak then. She probably knew she was dying and wanted to burn the paintings so she could take them to heaven with her."Lu Shengyao shook his head in disapproval. "Such a tough character."Tang Ruochu smiled but didn't continue the topic.She turned to look at the painting as her thoughts drifted away.She had only been five years old when her mother had painted this pa
