Another servant opened the door.
Afraid of giving himself away, Dad went upstairs first.
He opened the door in a fury and found the servant rolling around on the bed, wearing his shirt and underwear and oozing seduction.
Song Jia and Tang Shiba strolled upstairs.
And then...
Ah! My eyes! She isn't even wearing pants! I'm going blind! Am I supposed to be seeing this? Oh, she should've worn nothing at all.
Tang Mom was so angry she laughed, then charged over and started clawing at her.
"You bitch! How dare you wear my husband's clothes! I'll scratch your face to shreds!"
Going for the sexy-shirt look, too. This servant really knows her stuff.
Wow, Mom's amazing! So fierce! I love it~ I love it so much~
Grab her boobs! Claw her butt! Yes, pull her underwear off!
Tang Dad couldn't bear to look anymore. He hurried out, dragging Tang Shiba away from the spectacle with him.
"Don't let this corrupt you. Come on."
Then Tang Dad called the police, who came straight over to arrest the servant.
System: This servant is the nanny who looks after Tang Xueqing. Tang Xueqing often told her, "If only you were my mom, too." That gave the servant ideas.
Doesn't Tang Xueqing know this servant has a crush on Dad?
She does. She caught her several times, but never said anything.
What? Tang Xueqing knew all along and deliberately kept it from Dad? No wonder the servant was so brazen.
Tang Xueqing had known all along?
Tang Dad glared at Tang Xueqing. He had treated her like his own daughter, and this was how she repaid him.
What a disappointment.
Tang Xueqing didn't understand why Dad was looking at her like that.
Mom was doing it, too.
She began to panic, feeling as though something was slowly slipping away.
She hadn't expected the servant to get caught, either. If the servant turned on her and said she had known all along, what would her parents think of her?
She hurried to plead for the servant, hoping that, in return, the woman would keep her mouth shut about things she shouldn't mention.
"Dad, she didn't mean it. She's always taken good care of me. I know what kind of person she is. Someone must have put her up to it."
Oh, come on. You saw it with your own eyes, and you're still trying to pin it on me? Why doesn't this woman blame me for a comet hitting Earth, too?
System: Nuwa creating all living things was your fault, too.
No, I shouldn't have put a snake in the Garden of Eden and let them eat the forbidden fruit.
My fault. It's all my fault. In the end, I put my faith in the wrong people.
Her parents could barely hold back their laughter.
Was their daughter trying to make them laugh themselves to death so she could inherit their estate...?
"You're still pleading for her? Did you know about this all along?"
Tang Dad was getting smarter.
Tang Xueqing panicked. "No, I didn't know."
"Then why aren't you standing up for your dad? If she'd worn your bra and underwear, would you still say I put her up to it?"
A corporate boss was a corporate boss, all right. Just a few words left Tang Xueqing red-faced, and she lowered her head and began to cry.
"Dad, that's not what I meant."
"Xueqing, you've really disappointed me."
Tang Xueqing looked up in shock, but Tang Cheng had already run over to pull his wife away.
He couldn't let her beat the woman to death. She would go to prison for that.
Song Jia finally regained her composure. Her calm demeanor stood in stark contrast to the servant wailing on the floor. No one would have guessed she had just so valiantly torn into that pervert.
The police soon arrived, established what had happened, and prepared to charge the servant with Theft.
The stolen item was a pair of underwear worth ten thousand yuan.
Once everyone had left, Tang Xueqing was nowhere to be seen. She had gone back to her room, planning to refuse dinner in protest.
She used this tactic whenever she was angry, all to make her parents give in first.
But this time, she had miscalculated.
Song Jia called Tang Cheng into the study.
"Honey, I'm planning a family recognition banquet to introduce Shiba publicly. As for Tang Xueqing, I'll give her a million yuan as compensation and have her leave this house."
"I'm also taking back every gift we've bought her over the years."
Let her experience the humiliation of having every last thing tallied up, too.
Giving her a million was already more than generous.
She must have been blind to raise such an ingrate in her own home.
Tang Dad hesitated. After all, he still had feelings for his adopted daughter.
Song Jia's expression immediately turned cold.
"Will you only be satisfied if you keep Tang Xueqing in this house until she ruins everything, including your company?"
Tang Dad sucked in a sharp breath.
"How could that happen? She doesn't have that kind of ability!"
"But I heard our daughter say she'll kill someone and make our second son take the blame and go to prison!"
"All right, we'll do it your way. Don't tell our three sons yet. They all favor Xueqing. Let them spend some time together first, and see whether the three of them can hear Shiba's thoughts before..."
Both of them stared, wide-eyed with shock.
"You can hear her, too?"
Well, they could both hear her. It looked like they could enjoy the gossip together from now on.
They still needed all three sons to agree to the family recognition banquet.
Song Jia told Tang Cheng to freeze all three sons' bank accounts so they couldn't transfer money to Tang Xueqing.
Now that she knew Tang Xueqing was an ingrate, Tang Mom didn't want to give her a single cent.
"Hurry up and call to freeze their accounts. If they ask, say something happened at the company and it'll take a while to sort out."
Tang Dad did as she asked.
By the time he finished his calls, all three brothers' funds had been frozen.
The eldest immediately called Tang Dad.
"Dad, why has my card been frozen? Did something happen?"
"There's been a little trouble, so we've frozen them temporarily. I'll transfer you some money for living expenses each month. Don't tell Xueqing. I don't want her to worry."
After hanging up, the eldest suspected nothing. Not wanting to add to his father's worries, he called his two younger brothers himself to explain the situation.
The eldest worked under Tang Dad, the second ran an entertainment company, and the third was an artist signed under the second.
All three were highly capable and outstanding.
If they hadn't met Tang Xueqing, any one of them could easily have been leading-man material.
"Where's Xueqing? Why hasn't she come down for dinner?"
Tang Dad asked after her at dinner out of habit.
Tang Shiba hadn't picked up her chopsticks yet and grumbled inwardly.
She's sulking, waiting for you to coax her. Hmph, that bitch is such a drama queen. I'm starving.
Song Jia told Tang Dad not to bother.
"She'll come down when she's hungry. Look, Shiba's hungry already."
Tang Dad fiddled with his chopsticks, looking a little worried.
"Shiba, try this. It's delicious."
Song Jia happily placed food in Tang Shiba's bowl.
"Thanks, Mom."
Wow, Mom finally doesn't have to grovel to soothe that drama queen anymore.
Grovel?
That really was what she did. Whenever something upset Tang Xueqing, she was always the one who went to coax her.
Tang Dad also put food in Tang Shiba's bowl and looked at her expectantly, hoping for praise.
"Thanks, Dad."
Dad isn't blind anymore, either. But he'll let Tang Xueqing join the company. Once she's there and sees its revenue, she'll secretly steal confidential information and sell it to a rival company for extra cash.
Tang Dad suddenly lost his appetite and stood up.
"Don't save any food for Tang Xueqing. If she wants to eat, she can cook for herself."
With that, he went to the study and called the company's chief financial officer, instructing them not to show the revenue figures to anyone, including the Tang Family's daughters.
He was doing this just in case.
However much he doted on Tang Xueqing, she was still an outsider.
