Chapter 1: The Fake Rich Daughter Fake Cries and Fake Sympathize
"Ding, host, there's a big juicy piece of gossip. Wake up and savor it."
Tang Shi Ba, who was lying down, heard of the gossip and immediately crawled out of her blanket.
Her cheeks were rosy, and her eyes were glistening, just like when she was a kid asking for candy.
"Hurry up!"
If you're not enthusiastic about gossip, there's something wrong with your brain.
Enjoying gossip today, live until eighty-eight tomorrow.
"Three people are here, one is your mom, the other is your dad, and the other is Tang Xue Qing, who mistakenly assumed your identity. They're here to acknowledge their kin."
"The people have arrived, hurry up and open the door."
Just after the system finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Tang Shi Ba got up, casually fixed herself then went to open the door.
Upon opening the door, three pairs of eyes were sizing her up with doubtful gaze.
She too looked them up and couldn't resist to comment.
"Oh~ So these are my blind parents."
Upon hearing the voice, Mr. and Mrs. Tang looked around as if they've seen a ghost.
"Who's talking? I can't see anyone."
Just as he was baffled, the voice sounded again.
"Tsk, tsk, blind parents got deceived by their fake daughter, and they ended up paying the ultimate price."
After observing for a while, Tang Shiba was the first to speak, "Excuse me, can I assist you with something?"
Upon hearing Tang Shiba's voice, a jolt of surprise ran through his parents!
Was that previous voice coming from Tang Shiba?
Could they actually hear what Tang Shiba was thinking?
Every year brings its peculiarities, but this year, they seem especially abundant!
Song Jia looked at her husband, his face continuously changing. Assuming she was the only one who could hear, she let out a small sigh of relief.
She smiled at Tang Shiba, "We are your family, we came looking for you, Shiba, you've been through a lot over these years."
Finishing her words, Tang's mother wiped away a tear, heart aching with sympathy.
"Suffering? No no no, your precious daughter has already ascended to the perfect world to enjoy her blessings."
"My name is Corpse Lying, not Tang Shiba. You...have come too late after all."
The two didn't understand what he meant, then they heard Tang Shiba's sarcastic remark.
"Didn't you hear how Tang Xueqing described me when you arrived? She said I'm a confused guy, a Z-list celebrity with a bad reputation."
【"And you even say that I might be sick, crazy, and liable to bite others!"】
【"Anything that Tang Xueqing says, you all just agree: right, right, right, isn't it?"】
This?
This is exactly what was said. They were indeed quite happy when they first arrived.
When they heard Tang Xueqing say that her own biological daughter was a nobody in the entertainment circle, had many issues, and could attack people, they gradually became disappointed.
What is the use of taking back a daughter with such a terrible reputation?
Even if they were raising a fake daughter as their own, a mistake was still a mistake.
But hearing what Tang Shibai thought, they were a bit embarrassed.
As for being killed by a fake daughter, how is that even possible.
Tang Xueqing at home is sensible, obedient, filial, a little "cotton-padded jacket" treasured by the family.
She is so weak that she doesn't even have the strength to kill a chicken. How could she possibly harm people?
【"Anyway they will not like me, I don't bother dealing with them."】
Upon hearing their daughter say that they did not like her, the couple felt slightly guilty.
"I don't have any relatives. You've got the wrong person," she said as she was about to close the door.
Tang Xueqing standing aside then stepped out and said gently, "Sister, we really are your relatives. I'm your younger sister, and these are our father and mother."
Tang Shiba wore a shocked look on her face. "Really? Are you really my family?"
【Let's pretend for a while. After all, being a Tang family daughter, she ought to recognize her roots.】
【But it's strange why it took the Tang family so long to find Tang Shiba. Have they really put their hearts into it, or not?】
【This vulnerable-looking Tang Xueqing, she has the look of a schemer. Won't she say something like, 'Oh, Sis, even though your reputation isn’t great, as long as you change, things will get better, right?’】
As expected, Tang Xueqing spoke. "It's true, Sis, Mom and Dad are really worried about you. Even though your reputation in the entertainment industry isn't great, as long as you genuinely strive to change, things will surely get better."
Such words left Tang Cheng and Song Jia in silence.
It was as if they were getting a new look at their adopted daughter.
However, they didn't think too much about it. After all, their adopted daughter was very important to them, and no one could replace her.
Tang Xueqing finished speaking and began to cry again. "Sis, I don't consider myself a daughter of the Tang family. After you come back, if you don't like me, I'll move out."
"I fear you'll resent me for taking your place and that of Mom, Dad, and the brothers."
"I know my place. When you come back, I'll pack up and move, but I can't bear to leave Mom and Dad. I hope that after I move, you can take good care of them for me."
Seeing Tang Xueqing cry, Tang's parents became anxious.
They hastily went to comfort her. "Who said you have to move out? You'll always be our daughter, and no one can change that."
"That's right. Whatever your sister has, you will have too. We, the Tang family, can afford to support you."
Tang Xueqing looked pitifully at Tang Shiba, but inside she was gloating. "But when Sis comes back, her identity will have to be publicly announced. Once people find out, they'll accuse me of not knowing what's good for me."
Dad Tang: "No, we won't reveal her identity. You are too daughters of ours. Just say you are twins, and your sister's health is bad, so she was raised in the countryside, okay?"
Only then did Tang Xueqing manage to tear away from the sorrow and laugh, "Thank you, mom and dad, it's you who care for me. Thankfully, for these eighteen years, I was the one accompanying you, not like my sister, who has been enduring hardships outside."
Observing the affectionate father-daughter display, Tang Eighteen's inner monologue carried an undertone of irony.
[She's going to deliberately cause a car accident later? And then she will tell mom, dad and brothers that it was my fault? Did my upsetting her cause her to crash? Then, will I be loathed by my family?]
[System: Host, I suggest you don't return. The heroine has a plot armor, you can't kill her.]
[Damn it all, let whoever mess with it. I give up. Just kneel.]
Song Jia and Tang Cheng think that Tang Eighteen shows substantial hostility toward Tang Xueqing. They find it impossible that the daughter they've raised since childhood would do such a thing.
Two of them produced the paternity test and the four people successfully recognized each other on the spot.
Tang Xueqing packed her luggage. Actually, she only had a bag, which contained her ID and bank card, and she didn't bring anything else.
Looking at the house she had lived in for two days, Tang Eighteen turned around without any sentiment.
She initially was not a part of this world. She was Tang Eighteen, a 21st-century female celebrity.
She traversed to this world because of cancer.
Originally, she thought that by coming to this world, she could survive by relying on the newly gained system.
Unexpectedly, the system informed her that her entire family were cannon fodders, and would all die due to the main female character in the end.
And her original body will be thrown into the sea as revenge by the male lead.
But she's not the original host, hello~
The reason she's willing to go back is that, no matter where she is, she's always a bystander, and it would be safer to be a bystander back home.
"Host, don't worry. As long as we complete the mission of sitting back and enjoying the show, and accumulate points, we can exchange them for anything we want, including money."
"How can I exchange it? Your shop isn't even open, what can I exchange?"
"System: We just got here, cheer up!"
When they went downstairs, the two only cared about Tang Xueqing, who was wearing high heels. Out of fear that she might fall, they asked her to slow down, completely ignoring their biological daughter behind them.
"Tsk, tsk, not caring about your own daughter at all, no wonder you're blind."
"She's bound to fall and claim someone pushed her. I need to stay away from her, lest I get smeared with trouble."
The typical green tea bitch protagonist always uses such tactics.
The two glanced back and saw that Tang Xueqing suddenly leaned forward, as if someone had pushed her. If they hadn't held her, she would have fallen down the stairs.
"Whimper, mom, dad, I think someone just pushed me. It must have been my imagination. My sister would never do such a thing."
