Chapter 46.1 : Do Cheap Great Treasures Only Exist in Novels? (Part 1)
"No! I won't allow it!!"
Tang Qingmo's words made Tang Xuerong shout uncontrollably.
Her eyes were bloodshot, her expression twisted in pain as she bit down hard on her lower lip.
Tang Qingmo sneered and shot back, "You're nothing more than the fifth-ranked young lady of the Tang family. As a celebrity, you lack real ability and can only be a bottom-tier traffic star—and now you're even shelved. What right do you have to decide Tang Xianxi's fate?"
"I…" Tang Xuerong was on the verge of collapse.
Tang Qingmo wasn't wrong at all.
She had neither the authority nor the strength to determine Tang Xianxi's future!
"That's exactly why I kindly arranged for him to marry Tang Feifei," Tang Qingmo said lightly. "Right now, Tang Xianxi's only value is the eighteen years of Tang family resources wasted on him. Only by marrying into the Tang family can that value be fully utilized."
Tang Xuerong clenched her fists in agitation. "Even so, why does it have to be Fourth Sister!?"
"Fourth Sister is already paralyzed! She's not worthy of Xiao Xi at all!!"
"But she's lucky."
Tang Qingmo cut in with a mocking laugh. "Originally, all seven of you sisters would have been married off as Tang family daughters for political alliances. Who knew Tang Feifei would be so lucky—'accidentally' fall and become paralyzed~? That means she could only be paired with Tang Xianxi."
"Am I wrong?"
"!!!"
Tang Xuerong ground her teeth.
Yes!
If Tang Xianxi didn't want to be driven out of the Tang family, then marrying into the family was his only choice!
And it just so happened that Tang Feifei had lost her value as a Tang family young lady—creating a loophole she slipped into!
Damn it!!
"But you don't need to be so discouraged."
Seeing the unwillingness on Tang Xuerong's face, Tang Qingmo slowly walked to her side and spoke softly,
"Now you can't even be a bottom-tier traffic star anymore. That makes you the most worthless Tang family daughter—aside from Tang Feifei."
"If, at this time… Tang Feifei were gone, what then…?"
!!!
Tang Xuerong's eyes widened in shock as she stared at Tang Qingmo.
For a moment, she couldn't even process his words. It felt as if something deep inside her had been switched on—her mind buzzing endlessly.
If… Tang Feifei were gone…?
Then among the seven sisters, someone like her—whose abilities weren't outstanding, who could only be a celebrity (and was now shelved)…
Wouldn't she then have a chance to marry Xiao Xi, the one she loved most!?
Tang Qingmo let out a mocking cold laugh.
Clearly, every word he spoke was dripping with contempt, yet Tang Xuerong—her mind consumed by love—failed to grasp any of the sarcasm.
He strolled to the desk in the room, gently placed something down, then turned back with a smile.
"Fifth Sister, opportunities must be seized by oneself. You want Tang Xianxi, don't you? You don't want him taken away by Fourth Sister…"
"..."
Tang Xuerong lowered her head.
"I'll leave for now. I'll come back to see you in a couple of days."
With that, Tang Qingmo exited the room and locked the door behind him.
Tang Xuerong remained with her head lowered, Tang Qingmo's words replaying over and over in her mind.
If Tang Feifei hadn't been paralyzed…
If she were gone…
If…
At that moment, moonlight streamed in through the window, illuminating something on the desk, making it glint—and reflecting directly into Tang Xuerong's eyes.
She turned her head in confusion.
It was the object Tang Qingmo had just placed there.
On the desk lay a sharp knife…
The next morning, Tang Qingmo enjoyed sweet tofu pudding and delicately fragrant salted pork rice dumplings that he had drawn from the system's lottery.
Since time didn't flow inside the system space, the food was still warm when he took it out!
Products from the system were guaranteed quality!
Even food tasted exceptionally good.
That said, Tang Qingmo still preferred savory tofu pudding.
