Chapter 30: 直言 …
[Straight to the point …/ Speak Bluntly]
“Miss, there’s a reply from Ji Residence.” The maid held the envelope, cautiously approaching her young miss.
Tang Shiman gave her a very disdainful look and reached out to pull the letter out of her hand, completely ignoring the maid’s cut hand due to her excessive speed.
The maid carefully pressed her wound to stop the blood from seeping out, and then she saw her own young lady throw the letter onto her body in anger after reading it. Looking at the angry young lady, the maid was even more careful.
“My child, what’s wrong?” As soon as she entered the room, Wan Jingqian saw her daughter sitting there, sulking. Associated with the things said a few days ago, for a moment she also has a clear understanding.
Seeing that it was her mother, Tang Shiman looked at her grievancely and said, “I just want to go to his house to have a look, but he said he invited me to have a meal at Wang Jiang Restaurant, do I need that meal? You think I’m a beggar?”
Gently patted his daughter’s hand, Wan Jingqian, on the contrary, much more calm. Looked at her, said faintly: “You say, if not Tang Xiaobao, that kind of character of people, as if he changed a person. We were like that to him, then how will he treat us?”
“This.” Tang Shiman then remembered, when her mother was in power, how she had made small moves behind her back, but even so Tang Shiman didn’t think she had done anything wrong. “Mother, what do you think I should do?”
Seeing their own daughter like this, Wan Jingqian also does not expect her to be able to turn around, but in the end it is her own daughter, so no matter what she has to give her some planning. After all, whichever point of view, Ji Ling is a very good choice. Whether from the family or from the looks, as for Tang Xiaobao, Wan Jingqian in fact does not care, just married being lovey dovey for a while is normal, encountering a better one, the original one will of course soon ignore. Man ah, they have very deep-rooted bad habits.
“You ah, go and apologise to him, be sincere, and then slowly go up to the mansion”. If you meet him more often, Ji Ling will naturally have a deeper impression of you, and your chances of success will be higher. Even if you don’t succeed, knowing that your brother is the wife of the Ji Mansion, other people will still look up to you.” Wan Jing Qian imparted her experience towards her, confident in her own experience. She had never imagined that Tang Xiaobao’s shady and timid demeanor wouldn’t be able to resist their warm and fuzzy approach.
Hearing what her mother said, Tang Shiman nodded her head to show that she remembered.
When Tang Xiaobao arrived at Wang Jiang Lou, he saw Tang Shiman, who had been waiting in the VIP room for a long time. Entering the room and scanning someone who was obviously well-dressed, Tang Xiaobao stood there accompanied by Green Lotus and waited for her to speak without saying a word.
Tang Shiman noticed the moment Tang Xiaobao pushed the door, and then quickly assumed the most dignified sitting posture, elegantly looking at the door. After seeing that it was Tang Xiaobao who came in instead of Ji Ling, her eyes, which had been shining brightly, darkened for a moment, and then she looked at Tang Xiaobao, who was dressed in a crescent-white colour like a rich son, and quickly adjusted her expression. Putting on a warm smile, “Xiao Bao, you’re here, I’ve been waiting for you here for a long time.”
Seeing Tang Shiman’s action, she first felt puzzled, and then quickly figured out why. She looked at her doubtfully and did not say anything, thinking about what expression she should use on the person in front of her.
Looking at Tang Xiao Bao staring at herself without saying anything, just silently sizing herself up, Tang Shiman clenched her teeth, then revealed a gentle smile, “Xiao Bao, if you are angry with me because of the things I did in the past, I apologise to you. If you still want to punish me, I’ll do whatever you want, as long as your anger is gone. After all, we’re from the same father, and father wouldn’t want things to be like this between you and me after he left.”
Hearing her words, Tang Xiaobao walked over and sat on the main seat, the green lotus beside him quickly brought him a cup of warm tea. After taking a sip, he slowly opened his mouth, “If you’re talking about the time you pushed me into the river, gave me the leftovers to eat, and the time you told me to sleep in the woodshed after my father’s death, and then let me live like a servant in that home, and then finally joined forces with mother to sell me to Ji Ling, I think these, father not want to know about this.”
Originally, when she saw Tang Xiaobao ignoring herself, Tang Shiman was a bit angry, until she heard him tell her what she had done in the past, word by word, and gradually she began to feel a bit guilty. When Tang Xiaobao finished his last sentence, Tang Shiman hadn’t thought of what to say, how to defend herself. When he finished speaking, Tang Shiman looked at him with great sincerity, “You forgive Jie Jie, sister used to be young and unintelligent. Now there are only the two of us left at home, as well as Mother, Father would definitely want our family to be neat and tidy.”
Hearing Tang Shiman talk about his father, Tang Xiaobao pondered for a couple of seconds, and after thinking for a while, realised that he couldn’t recall the appearance of his so-called father. Looking at the person in front of him, he actually didn’t know what to do, but the only thing he knew was that the original owner was too miserable in the past, and he couldn’t take advantage of the two people who had gained all of the original owner’s things, but treated the original owner that way but treated him like that. Last time it was his being timid, this time it won’t be.
Tang Xiaobao shook his head and looked at her disapprovingly, ”You can’t be too greedy, you cheated me out of everything, and now you want to hit on Ji Ling’s idea. Last time in the Tang Mansion I couldn’t say anything, but this time I have to warn you, if you try to use any tricks on Ji Ling, I will be rude to you.”
See Tang Xiaobao so bluntly hit her own face, Tang Shiman’s face does not look good, but thinking of her own purpose, telling yourself, ‘little impatience spoils great plans’, bear with it then it will past, wait until their own turn over to be the master, that is, then make Tang Xiaobao know her own power. Lift his head to look at Tang Xiaobao, face only sadness, tone with some sadness, “Little Brother you speak too seriously or exaggerated , I just, because I think before that you are too over, so now I want to make amends to compensate you, and there is no other meaning. If you really resent your sister, you can do whatever you want, but you can’t ruin my honour like this.”
After saying that, she even wiped the red corners of her eyes.
In fact, Tang Xiaobao does not like to get along with this kind of people. They talk nice, but what they do is the most selfish thing. If it is repentance, not long ago she would repent. Looking at the Green Lotus standing beside him and the people walking inside and outside the corridor, Tang Xiaobao suddenly felt self-confidence bursting, thinking of those words that had been rehearsed with Green Lotus when he arrived, looked at Tang Shiman and said: “No matter what, I will not forgive you. I don’t want to get involved with you any more, if you are still stubborn and obstinately persist in going about things the wrong way, I will ask Ji Ling to cut off your way of living. You know, he will listen to me.”
After saying that, he put down the tea cup and stood up, ready to leave. Tang Shiman who was behind him was shocked by Tang Xiaobao’s crisp and clear approach, froze for a moment, and when she reacted, she wanted to go and pull his hand to let him stay. But before she could reach out and touch him, she was stopped by the maid beside Tang Xiaobao. Staring at the maid who pinched her hand, Tang Shiman was very angry, she felt that this rough maid had scratched a piece of her hand red.
But that maid seemed to be completely unaware of it, looking at her innocently, softly saying, “Please be respectful, Miss, it’s a disgrace to argue with a servant like me.” After saying that, she lightly let go of her hand, Tang Shiman who had been trying to pull her hand out of her hand just now fell back a few steps one after another, and was caught by her maid, and then Green Lotus revealed a mocking gesture at her. Turning around, she quickly left with Tang Xiao Bao.
“Young miss, are you alright?” Seeing her own young lady looking at the direction the two left in, her body shaking a little, she knew that she must have been furious this time. Just when he was about to comfort her, she felt a big slap on his face.
Looking at the maid who covered her swollen face and lowered her head, muffled, Tang Shiman gradually calmed her anger and said in a low voice, “Good ah, Tang Xiaobao, finding a backer and then you dare to be so arrogant, even a servant dares to bully me like this.”
The maid covered her face and did not dare to say anything.
The two who left came to another room under the attentive service of the shop’s middleman or shopkeeper, and after entering, they hurriedly poured themselves a cup of water, and after taking a big gulp, they breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the green lotus that followed him in, he said happily: “Did you see, just now that Tang Shiman’s face became really good-looking, I almost forgot the words. What do you think, how did I do this time?”
“Young Madam did a great job.” Green Lotus praised, then looked at Tang Xiaobao, who was still constantly reminiscing about how he had just punched her in the face, and suggested, “In order to rehearse this meeting this morning, madam hasn’t even had her breakfast yet, do you need to go and ask the waiter at Wang Jiang Lou to send some food up here?”
Hearing Green Lotus’s suggestion, Tang Xiaobao was very happy and nodded, indicating that he would like to eat the roasted chicken. Afterwards, he sat there and savoured the results of his battle just now. Originally he did not want to see Tang Shiman, but he knew Tang Shiman this person’s, if not see, may be in their own back row his what, although he is not afraid of these gossips, but should have a certain impact on Ji Ling. And he also wanted to see how thick-skinned she has to be to take advantage of him after doing so many things.
It was not until he actually met someone that he realised that a person’s skin could really be this thick. So he smoothly used his own position to hit her in the face. Only with his memory, this Tang Shiman was afraid that she would leave the matter at that, instead she would do other things to achieve her own goal because of this move of his.
Hmph, but at that time, he could rightfully ask Ji Ling to clean them up. He is not good at this kind of thing, since Ji Ling said that he can leave it all to him, then he just leaves it to him.
Originally, she went to see Tang Xiao Bao with the purpose of reconciliation, but she didn’t realise that things didn’t go according to her plan at all. When she got home, Tang Shiman first lost her temper, then she looked at the maid who had followed her out and watched her make a fool of herself, and walked up and slapped her several times, “You damned girl, aren’t you glad to see others bullying me today. I’ll let you be happy, I’ll let you be happy.”
