Chapter 274 - 4 Speculation
But what was the reason?
They racked their brains but could not figure out what Tang Wenyi had offered to tempt Fifth Sister.
Tang Nishang saw a white figure from the corner of her eye and questioned, “Fifth Sister, tell me the truth. Did you form an alliance with Tang Wenyi? Otherwise, how could you explain why she didn’t succeed previously but succeeded as soon as you were in charge of supervising her? You must have let her use your connections, right? Didn’t we agree long ago? We sisters will not form an alliance with each other!
Are you backing out?”
Tang Yajing, who had just come downstairs, was stunned at first. Then she said as if she had heard a joke, “I formed an alliance with Tang Wenyi? Have you lost your mind from sleeping? If I really wanted to do this, why did I have to find the weakest one? To increase the difficulty?
Putting aside Tang Wenyi’s intelligence, just look at the path she takes every time. Even an idiot knows that this person is unreliable, right?”
She paused for a moment before continuing, “Besides, I’m not a kind person, and there’s no so-called sisterhood between me and Third Sister. Why should I help her? I’m already being kind by not tricking her. Besides, Old Master asked me to supervise her because he simply did not want me to interfere. You actually think I’d be an ally with an idiot?
No way! No way! Don’t tell me you all think so? What gave you such an illusion?”
Her sarcastic words pierced the hearts of the three of them like sharp arrows. Isn’t she saying that we’re fools? That’s right. With Tang Yajing’s character, she wouldn’t have formed an alliance with No. 3 for no reason. If these two can get along peacefully, the sun will definitely rise from the west!
How could they have listened to No. 2 and been led astray? The key was that they actually followed her train of thought?! They were like idiots! Tang Wenyi’s success must have disrupted their thoughts. If it were any other time, they would definitely have maintained their rationality, so they silently made a mental note of Tang Wenyi!
Tang Wenyi, who was innocent, was speechless.
After all, she had the worst relationship with the five sisters.
Tang Nishang took a deep breath and accidentally met No. 5’s eyes. When she saw her mocking gaze, her mental preparation collapsed instantly. She quickly looked away and said weakly, “Sorry, we were too impulsive and misunderstood you. I hope you don’t take it to heart.”
And don’t take revenge on us, she thought.
She was really afraid of this devil. If she did not lower herself, she would probably be the one in trouble tomorrow. In addition, Old Master could not pay attention to their movements at all times. Even if she was really gone, he would at most sigh and say that he was grieving that his child died before him. Wouldn’t No. 5 still be alive and well?
Therefore, her strong desire to live made her temporarily lower herself as the daughter of the Tang family. She was about to die, so what was the point of having a backbone?
No. 2, Tang Wanxi, also reacted and quickly said, “Yes, yes, yes, yes. We thought wrongly. Fifth Sister has always been brilliant. Why would she choose to carry out such a low-tech plan with that piece of trash, Third Sister? We probably rushed over without having breakfast, so our minds are not clear. Fifth Sister, don’t take it to heart.”
It was rare to see such a humble attitude. If her friends outside saw this, their jaws would definitely drop. This was because she usually looked down on everyone. No matter what gathering she attended, she would be the center of attention. Now, she was apologizing to her younger sister so carefully because of her accidental slip of the tongue?!
At first, Tang Rongrong did not understand why they were doing this. It was not until she saw No. 5’s expression that she belatedly said, “I, I was wrong too. What I said just now was a joke. How can you take a joke seriously? Don’t you think so? Fifth Sister is so smart and generous. She definitely won’t mind a small matter, right?”
Cold sweat broke out on her forehead and rolled down slowly. Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. After some time, a chuckle came from above. “Sisters, you’re really polite. If outsiders see this, they’ll think that I’m bullying you! Why are you so nervous? I haven’t done anything, right?
Are you afraid of me? Stop joking. I’m not capable of fighting three people alone. But on account of how sensible you are, don’t worry, I won’t attack you because of this, but I hope you’ll be careful with your words in the future. Don’t think about all sorts of things all day, lest you become even more stupid.
In addition… don’t you know what you are? How dare you interfere with what I do and
say?”
