Stepmother: I Am Asked To Give A Kidney To My Half-Brother Novel - Chapter 298

Chapter 298: Buddhist Scripture

“At least I have a good heart. Besides, am I not the only one in the family who did this? This…”

As she spoke, her aura weakened until she fell silent.

The old master glared at her angrily and said, “What did you say to me before? The reason why you woke up so late was to copy Buddhist scriptures! I thought you were so filial! You took so long to write three words?! And it’s like a dog’s scrawl! By the time you’re done, I’d have turned into ashes!

You’re not a retard. How can it be so difficult to copy scriptures? Besides, none of the words you wrote are difficult!”

In a fit of anger, he threw the rice paper at the other party’s face. It slowly landed on the floor. The servants who were cleaning carefully craned their necks and looked at the middle for a long time before barely managing to determine from the distorted words—’Vast Vision.’

Oh my, isn’t this the ‘Limitless Longevity Buddha Sutra?’ Why isn’t the title finished?

They could not help but gloat in their hearts. Although this Third Miss lived far away in Shanghai, she was always nitpicking every time she came back. She really deserved to be disliked! The other ladies were much better at being nice than her! However, she only wrote so little after one night. If word got out, they would probably think that Third Miss was lacking in intelligence.

No wonder Old Master was so angry.

“You have the cheek to use this as an excuse! If you knew that I was going to scold you, why didn’t you use your brain and write more? Look, which sister in the family is as stupid as you?! What sin did I commit to have such a daughter? Sooner or later, I’ll be dragged to the grave by you!”

The old man cursed without caring about his image. He was like a middle-aged woman cursing in the market. If anyone who did not know better saw this, they would probably sigh. No wonder Tang Boyan’s mental fortitude is so good. No matter what kind of person he faces, he always looks so kind. So he has training at home!

“No. 3! What did you do last night?! Why did you wake up so late?”

He really could not understand why she still had so much energy to stay awake in the middle of the night after being grounded by him.

Even after being scolded in public so many times, Tang Wenyi still felt ashamed. She lowered her head and said, “I-I wanted to finish a portion of the Buddhist scriptures last night, but my phone rang before I could finish writing. Then we chatted all night.”

Chatted all night?

Those who were listening attentively were stunned on the spot. What a talent! This was not like the past where there were so many things to talk about, but their Third Miss actually chatted with someone all night without feeling any discomfort in her throat?! Is this considered talent?

The old man opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he only glared at her in disappointment and said, “You’re very capable! Even I’m ashamed of your train of thought. You can’t do anything right, but you’re good at ruining things! What did you talk to your little sister about? New clothes or bags? Or did you agree to play mahjong somewhere?”

It was strange that the first four of his five daughters liked to play mahjong! No. 2, 3, and 4 were especially enthusiastic. When they were free, they liked to sneak out to play with their friends. Although he criticized them every time, they did not change! In the end, it was the youngest, No. 5, who saved him the trouble.

Tang Wenyi retorted softly, “It’s not a friend. It’s Brother Yang.”

Brother Yang? When did you have a brother? I don’t remember having a son, right?

The old master did not react immediately and asked subconsciously.

For some reason, she suddenly looked up and explained, “It’s Yang Shuhai. I used to be quite close to him and could be considered a childhood sweetheart. You should remember him, right? After he heard that I was grounded, he wanted to accompany me to relieve my boredom. I didn’t want to chat for so long, but it’s probably because I haven’t seen him for too long, so…”

Yang Shuhai?

Come to think of it, the old master remembered that there was indeed such a person in the capital. He was the successor that the Yang family had long decided on. It was said that he was quite capable. However, why did he specially squeeze out time to chat with No. 3 all night? Could it be… He thought of another possibility, so he sized up No. 3.

Her messy hair, coupled with her white skin, formed a sharp contrast with her stark black nightdress. She had an inexplicable sense of decadent beauty. It was undeniable that her unique temperament and outstanding appearance were indeed attractive. Although she had not inherited his intelligence, she was not bad-looking.

Perhaps Yang Shuhai has taken a fancy to her?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. This was good news. At least his third daughter, who had become trash in his eyes, still had some value left. After all, the Yang family was not a small family. They could still help the Tang family in the future. Thinking of this, he nodded to himself.

“Old He, give Third Miss a coat. The weather is a little cold today. Don’t let her freeze.”

The 180-degree change in his attitude made Tang Wenyi feel flattered. Why did the old man let her off the moment he heard Brother Yang’s name? Didn’t he always hate it when they got close to the opposite sex? That was why she did not tell the truth at first. She thought of Brother Yang’s family background.

For some reason, she understood what the old man meant and thought smugly, Indeed, I, Tang Wenyi, am lucky. Even if I’m blind to have chosen the wrong person in my first marriage, isn’t there still a rich young master who’s rushing to marry me? I’ll soon become a rich wife who’s fawned over!

At that time, even Old Master would soften his attitude and beg me to cooperate!

Just thinking about such a future, the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up. Looking at his third daughter’s stupid appearance, Tang Boyan really had no eyes for her. She became like this just because he said some words of concern. She could only be a canary that relied on others for the rest of her life. The difference between her and her other sisters was too great.

“In the future, if Young Master Yang calls you out for a gathering, you can just inform Old He and go out. Whatever he wants, just give it to him. Don’t go against him. Your attitude has to be better, just like how you were in love back then, understand? The Yang family is a good place to go.”

Hearing this, Tang Wenyi was even more certain of her guess. She said, “Actually, after so many years, I still have a good impression of him because we grew up together. I think his feelings for me are not fake. On the contrary, they might be deeper than mine.”

Her words implied that she could easily control him.

The old man reminded her, “It’s better to be careful. I heard that there are many people pursuing him. It’s naturally best if you can hold on to him tightly. Remember, if you want to turn things around, he’s your last chance. Ah Ze is still in jail waiting for you to save him, understand?”

He took out two trump cards, and Tang Wenyi became serious as expected. “I understand.”
