C16 The Goods on the Shelves

"Tang Yao, what are you talking about? She's your sister, so how can she be a thing? Look at you, you don't have any morals at all. What are you wearing all day?"

Hearing Tang Jinyuan's gentle reprimand, Tang Yao ignored him and walked in front of Tang Xia. Her sharp gaze seemed to want to pierce a hole in her face.

"I'm not even worth mentioning compared to this hypocrite."

Tang Xia knew very well why she had come here today. She did not want to waste any more time on this woman. Sooner or later, she would take revenge for all the humiliation she had suffered.

She reached out and pulled on Tang Jin Yuan's suit sleeve, "Please bring me to see father, okay? I'll leave after I finish asking. "

Her gentle voice sounded in the air, making people unable to help but feel tender towards her.

"Alright."

He glanced at Tang Yao coldly, signaling for her to shut up before striding up the stairs.

The second floor was finally a little quiet. There were no servants, no sharp-tongued stepmother, and no sharp-tongued Tang Yao. Tang Jinyuan did not walk very quickly, and the two of them did not speak much along the way, but Tang Xia felt that Tang Jinyuan seemed to have something to say to her.

"Father is in the study right now. You can go! Do you want me to wait for you here?"

..."" This sentence sounded like a protection?

Wen Yaya's brother and Tang Yao's personalities were really far apart from each other.

"Thank you, but there's no need for that. You can go ahead and do what you need to do. I'll be out soon. I'll leave as soon as I get out."

"Then... Okay then."

Tang Jinyuan watched as she walked into the study and stood in the hallway for a long time before retracting his gaze.

The window of the study was facing the west. The setting sun shone through the half-opened curtain, causing the entire room to be enveloped in an orange glow.

Hearing the sound of footsteps as someone entered, his father turned his chair around, pushed up the glasses on his face, and after seeing the person's appearance, his face suddenly darkened.

"What are you doing here? You clearly know that you are not welcome here, so why are you still here?"

"Daddy ..."

"Don't call me that in the future! This kind of familial love doesn't need to be protected by such a title."

She bit her lips in embarrassment and nodded with a heavy tone. "I just wanted to ask, did you really accept the betrothal gift from the Mu Family?"

Her father sighed deeply, "I was wondering why you suddenly came to me. In the end, you did it for the money. That's right. I did accept it, but that doesn't mean anything. Your household registration has been taken away. From now on, you are no longer a member of the Tang Clan."

"Why did you accept the betrothal gift?"

"Did you come here because you wanted to go back? Our Tang clan is a business family. I think you should understand who will get the profits after the goods on the shelves are sold?"

Heh... The goods on the shelves?

In her father's eyes, she was just a product on the shelves that anyone could buy.

Her existence had always been a burden and a disgrace. His father had long wanted to kick her away. No matter who she was, as long as it was a male, he would be willing to do anything as long as it didn't cost him money.

This was her father. Whether it was familial love or blood thicker than water, they were all lies.

"You can't just take those things without my permission."

"You don't have the right to say that." His father answered angrily with his eyebrows knitted together. It seemed that one more glance at her would hurt his eyes.

Tang Xia did not understand when he became so cold and heartless.

"What right do you have to do such a thing? You have never cared about me. What right do you have to control my happiness and my life?"
