章 5: Brother's Protection
編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation
"That's right. Miss, it's such a waste to give this scarf to her. It's better to give it to my daughter."
Tian Wei winked at Tang Yuan and held the scarf, unwilling to let go.
Tang Yuan sneered and kicked the bag at her feet. She leaned close to Tang Shu's ear and whispered, "Sister, so what if Tang Shun protected you today? You're still a piece of trash that anyone can step on in this family!"
Tang Shu narrowed her eyes and suddenly raised her hand to grab Tang Yuan's neck. She used a little strength and lowered her voice like Tang Yuan. "You can provoke me, but I've never been gentle. What if I accidentally break your neck?"
"You ... " Tang Yuan's face turned red and she could not say a word. She slapped Tang Shu's hand hard and looked at the monster in front of her in horror.
It was different.
Tang Shu had really changed.
When she drugged Tang Shu yesterday, she was still acting stupid, but ever since Director Zhang called her to the hotel room, Tang Shu had been surprisingly calm.
Tang Shu did not panic because of the unspoken rules, nor was she in a sorry state and crying as Tang Yuan had imagined.
What she wanted to see was her personally pushing her down from the clouds, from the high and mighty eldest miss of the Tang family to a good-for-nothing.
Not the Tang Shu she was now.
No matter how much she did not want to admit it, only she knew very well that she was afraid of Tang Shu.
She stopped her hands mid-way. Her trembling hand gradually fell.
The stunned Tian Wei hurriedly went up to Tang Yuan's aid, but Tang Shu let go of her hand before Tian Wei could touch her. She did not intend to strangle Tang Yuan here in the first place, but just to give her a warning.
Tang Yuan panted heavily and looked at Tang Shu coldly. "Remember, I won't let you go. As long as I'm here, you won't have a place in the Tang family."
"Go ahead."
"What's going on?"
Tang Shun hurried down the stairs and saw the shopping bags scattered all over the floor. Some clothes and jewelry even rolled out of the bags. He was furious. "Who did this?"
"It's Tang Shu!" When Tian Wei saw that the eldest young master had arrived, it was as if she had found her backbone. She quickly exaggerated and complained, "Eldest young master, look at how much she bought and how she's spending the Tang family's money. She even hit the young miss. You should quickly drive her out of the Tang family. She's too lawless."
Tang Shun's face grew darker. He glared at Tian Wei, and his fists clenched so tightly that they made cracking sounds. "Why would I need you, an old thing, to talk so much nonsense about what my sister wants to buy? The Tang family's money is her money!"
How could he have forgotten that this kind of situation had happened in the Tang family before? On the contrary, he was well aware of the humiliation that the servants had given Tang Shu, but he acquiesced and chose to turn a blind eye to it.
Tang Shun's heart was bleeding. It was as if someone had stabbed him in the heart and made a cut. The bloody wound was reminding him that he was a sinner for what he had done to his sister.
"Butler Lin, get everyone here," Tang Shun said with a deep voice, closing his eyes.
Butler Lin, who had heard the commotion, rushed over quickly and gathered all the servants in the Tang family in the living room.
"From today on, remember this. Tang Shu is my sister. She's the real miss of the Tang family. I won't allow anyone to disrespect her," Tang Shun looked at the crowd and said.
The servants looked at each other. On one hand, they were curious as to why the eldest young master had suddenly changed his temperament. On the other hand, they were secretly shocked. Many of them had bullied the eldest young miss. Now that the eldest young master had said this, they immediately lowered their heads and did not even dare to breathe.
Tian Wei had long been frightened by this scene. Seeing that the young master had finished reprimanding everyone and turned to face her, she quickly knelt on the ground and hugged the leg of the young master's pants. "Young Master, I didn't bully her. She was the one who hit the young miss first."
"Don't you understand what I said? Tang Shu is the real lady of the Tang family!"
The veins on Tang Shun's face were bulging. Tian Wei had been in the Tang family for more than ten years, but she had always been tyrannical and regarded him as the master of the Tang family. If he did not teach her a lesson today, he was afraid that her sister would be bullied by her in the future.
"Tian Wei has offended her superior and bullied the eldest miss of the Tang family. From today onward, she'll be expelled from the Tang family. Pack up your things and get lost," Tang Shun said in a deep voice.
"Young Master! You can't chase me away! I've been in the Tang family for more than ten years. How can you drive me away for her? I've brought you up!" Tian Wei shouted in panic. She did not want to be driven out of the Tang family.
However, Tang Shun had already made up his mind not to keep her. "Because she's my sister. Butler Lin, take her away. I don't want to see her again."
