Stepmother: I Am Asked To Give A Kidney To My Half-Brother

Chapter 329 - Ignorance  



Chapter 329: Ignorance

Year-end bonus?

Tang Wenyi’s mind slowly turned. She remembered that it was only a dollar and a box of apples, right? Although she was the poorest among everyone now, she still had this bit of money. It didn’t matter if she didn’t want the bonus. Anyway, it wasn’t the hundreds of thousands of yuan from the past few years. This year was really shabby!

They still want this little thing? Could it be that they have never seen money in their lives?

She said in a scornful tone, “It doesn’t matter. I don’t think much of it. Besides, I’m not short of this dollar.”

She made it sound like the others were lacking in EQ!

Those people’s expressions immediately turned dark. Just as the atmosphere fell silent, someone broke the silence. The sword was still pointed at the stupid and ignorant Tang Wenyi!

“Third Sister, isn’t your reflex arc a little too long? This isn’t a matter of whether you think highly of the bonus or not, but whether you are getting it. Actually, I’m starting to wonder if you’re qualified to sit at the same table as us. We’re more or less people who have contributed to the family, but you…”

Tang Rongrong sneered and said, “Heh, this is what it means to judge a book by its cover. However, I think that other than you, everyone else thinks that you’re not qualified to sit here with your ability. I think you should go back to your room and copy the Buddhist scriptures for Old Master. You’re the only one in the family who’s free.

No, I should say that this is a ‘special’ job for the entire family. Only you are suitable for something as simple as copying the Buddhist scriptures.”

Previously, Tang Wenyi used this to show off how different she was. Now she finally found an opportunity to counterattack!

“Third Cousin, how did you survive until now? Didn’t anyone tell you that you don’t have to speak if you don’t know what to say? Save yourself the embarrassment!”

Lin Jinxu issued a soul interrogation. It was fine if Tang Wenyi’s personality was bad, but she was stupid as well. If the other party was not a member of the Tang family, she would have attacked long ago! Thinking of this, she glanced at the old master who was as still as a mountain. She did not know what he was thinking.

As soon as she finished speaking, the room was filled with sneers. At this moment, Tang Wenyi noticed that the thing she disdained symbolized that she had once contributed to the family. Even the juniors who were so much younger than her received a bonus, but she did not! Moreover, she was so smug just now. Could it be that these people have seen my stupid look? Could it be that they are secretly calling me a fool?

Thinking back to her actions not long ago, she couldn’t help but feel vexed. What was wrong with her brain? Why didn’t she notice such a simple thing at the first moment? Now, she had become the only one who didn’t receive anything! But how long had she been back in the capital? Furthermore, she was forced to stay in her room every day to copy Buddhist scriptures. How could she have the chance to contribute?

Couldn’t he give her some time and opportunity? It was obvious that she had forgotten the lesson from before and had been defeated time and time again. If this continued, even the Tang family wouldn’t be enough for her! Immediately after, she saw Tang Yajing’s mocking expression from the corner of her eye, as if she had already become the victor.

What does that mean?

Her mind was in a mess. Could it be that the Old Master is using this action to openly tell those people that I’ve become an unimportant peripheral member of the Tang family? Or is he denying the blood flowing in my body? I’m no longer… a member of the Tang family? How could this be?!

The Tang family is my last trump card. If I’m abandoned, Lu Ming will definitely torture me to death!

“No, no! I have objections! Old Master, are you trying to chase me away? All these years, although I wasn’t in the capital, I’d more or less helped the Tang family. Now that I’m back, I promise that I’ll definitely make more contributions than them in the future. So, so you can’t treat me like this!”

She actually said that?

Many people were surprised. Every time they thought that they had underestimated the other party, Third Miss would jump out and say, “No, I can do even more brainless things!” Even her uncle was a little speechless. He even started to pity his brother for having such an unlucky thing.

“When did I say I’m going to chase you away? It’s just that you won’t get a share of this year’s year-end bonus. It doesn’t mean that you won’t be a member of the Tang family if I don’t give you a share. If you can really contribute to the family in the future, I definitely won’t leave you out next year!”

But doesn’t his action imply that he’s chasing me out?

Tang Wenyi sensed that the others were mocking her even more and thought to herself, Are you sure this isn’t just to brush me off? Although they didn’t say it openly, these people’s reactions told her that her guess wasn’t wrong! She knew that whatever she said, the old master wouldn’t give her any reward.

She recalled the shocking news that she had exposed before the meeting started. Not only was there no reward, but she could also receive an unknown punishment! Moreover, this matter was quite big because the reputation of the main family had been tarnished by her. The old man would definitely not let her off easily.

She opened her mouth awkwardly. “W-what will those people outside think of me? I’m your daughter after all.”

Her voice was so soft that if the hall hadn’t been quiet enough, they probably wouldn’t have heard it.

Her self-evident guilty conscience made Tang Wenyi’s words even less convincing. She did not have the aura of a lady of the main family at all. They subconsciously looked at Tang Yajing and then at Tang Nishang and the other two sisters.

Even if she does not have a strong aura like Fifth Miss, she should be similar to the other three ladies, right?

If word got out, who would believe that Tang Wenyi was the third daughter of the Tang family? She was not even as imposing as before she got married! Why was she getting more and more backward? It was rumored that the third daughter went to Shanghai and lost her mind there. At first, they did not believe it because no matter what, the third daughter was still the old master’s daughter.

As the saying went, a tiger father would not have a dog son. No matter how bad it was, it should not be this bad. But… Now, they were finally willing to believe that having such a daughter was really a stain on the Tang family!

The old master rubbed his walking stick and said, “No. 3, when you did those stupid things, why didn’t you think you were damaging the Tang family’s reputation? Now you’re talking about kinship with me? Tang Wenyi, when can you make me feel less worried?! Besides, your reputation has long been ruined. How much worse can it get?”

He paused for a moment before continuing, “And even if I send the bonus to you today, what will the others think of me? Wouldn’t that be telling them that all their efforts are inferior to a status in the main family?”
