Tang Xi walked into the house and saw her father with her step mother and sister sitting on the couch in the living room discussing and laughing, they seemed to be having fun so she decided not to disrupt them. She walked towards the stairs but was stopped by her father's voice.
Tang Xi, where did you go? Where have you been? Your sister said that you left work earlier than her but you are just coming back home now. Are you busy fooling around with wild men, don't you have any shame? You are still young but you have already become a kept woman, how can I give birth to a daughter like you, Tang Fenghu lashed out on Tang Xi.
Tang Xi just watched him silently as he scolded her, she didn't need to investigate who gave her father such untrue information, it was obviously Tang Jing and her father didn't bother to hear her out but has already believed Tang Jing, well she was already used to this kind of treatment, they were both his daughters but he was extremely biased towards Tang Jing.
Are you done? Tang Xi asked looking at her father.
You..... you insolent child, how dare you talk to your father like that? Have you no respect for me, Tang Fenghu continued scolding while breathing heavily.
Tang Jing rushed to him handing him a glass of water, dad you can't be too agaitated, you have to calm down or your blood pressure might rise. The man who sister has been seeing might just be her boyfriend, sister is so young and beautiful, she must have many suitors,Tang Jing said, it looked like she was defending Tang Xi but she was actually adding more fuel to the fire.
Tang Xi scoffed, she should really be an actress, she was very good at acting.
What boyfriend? How many people in M city can afford that car, it probably an old married man, like mother, like daughter, Qiao Xin added.
Tang Xi was hurt but she didn't allow her emotions to show on her face, they were supposed to be her family, her peace, her backbone and support but the reverse was the case, she choose not to reply nor explain to them, they can believe whatever they wanted to believe. Tang Xi continued her walk up the stairs.
Tang Fenghu scolded and called her back but she didn't listen to him and went straight to her room banging the door.
You see what I have been saying, this wild seed of yours, I can understand that she disrespects me as her step mother but she doesn't even respect you who is her birth father, she is really a trouble child, Qiao Xin said making Tang Fenghu to fume more.
Dad…..Mom, you two need to calm down, just now you didn't even give sister a chance to explain herself, I feel bad for telling you guys about it, now you quarreled with her because of me.
Xiao Jing, what are you saying , you were just looking out for her as an elder sister, Qiao Xin said.
What explanation can she possibly have, the thing you told us must be true, she didn't even rebute it just now, don't feel bad about anything, it's not your fault that she's fooling around. Don't worry, dad will take care of it.
Okay Dad, I trust you, I will go get some rest now, you guys rest up too, Tang Jing said going upstairs to her room smiling happily.
She has achieved her plans tonight by sowing more discord between their father and Tang Xi, she was very happy.
Back in Tang Xi's room, she locked her door and lay on her bed, she was already tired from the day's activities and now there was just a saga in the living room, it was always like this anytime she came back, she should really start thinking of moving out but if she did, her step mom and sister would be so happy and she didn't want that so she had to continue living here to spite them but was it worth it? Sacrificing her happiness and mental health just to spite them.She was still contemplating on the question when her phone started ringing, it was Weiwei. Hello Weiwei, what's up?
Xiao Xi, where did you go?
Not that question again, Tang Xi muttered to herself.
What did you say? Weiwei asked. Nothing .
Well, I choose to call you now because I know that you must be home now after your date...
What! How did you know? Tang Xi asked surprised at how Weiwei knew about the date, no dinner, she remembered not telling her anything.
Tang...Xiao.... Xi, you really went on a date with a man, who's that man? Who captured the tigress heart, Weiwei asked jokingly.
What are you talking about? He's just a jerk and it wasn't a date, it was just a normal dinner, Tang Xi said hurriedly.
I know that stage, it's called denial, Weiwei said laughing.
There's absolutely nothing like that, I already told him am not interested in any thing and I would keep my distance from now on so just stop it.
You already told him off, what an aggressive tigress. Xiao Xi, you should really give him a chance, you are already twenty two and still haven't dated anyone in your life and the only jerk you had liked is now with that b*tch sister of yours, why don't you try this new person out, Weiwei said trying to convince her.
If someone else advised me on relationship, I might take their advice but coming from you who doesn't even believe in love, it's quite ironic.
My dear best friend Xiao Xi, yours truly doesn't believe in love but that doesn't mean I wouldn't want my best friend to experience it, it's really a beautiful thing if you are with the right person, if the guy is good, then you should really give him a chance.
You haven't even met the guy and you are convincing me strongly to date him huh?
That's the more reason you should tell me about this guy, is he handsome? Let's have lunch tomorrow, I will tell you everything, Tang Xi suggested.
Ohh, I forgot to tell you, I left the country this afternoon, I had a show to walk this evening, it's all done now, I will return to M city tomorrow afternoon so come get me from the airport and we can have lunch together.
Okay my super model, get some rest then, I need to freshen up too, I will see you tomorrow.
Tomorrow then, Weiwei said before hanging up.
Tang Xi went to the bathroom and freshened up before retiring to bed.
