Tang Ning looked at her father in disbelief. “Dad, did you purposely let me sit in the Qin family’s wedding car yesterday?”
Tang Yun did not answer the question, which was equivalent to a silent agreement.
“Dad, why did you do this to me? How could you let me marry that tyrannical disabled man?”
Tang Yun pointed at Tang Jing, who was sitting on the sofa. “How dare you question me? How could you let your sister marry him? Not only was he disabled, I heard he even beat several of his wives to death! Do you still love your sister, Jing Jing?”
Tang Ning glanced at Tang Jing, who was sitting on the sofa and watching them argue. She could not help but sneer.
Sisterly love? Although she and her sister, Tang Jing, had spent their entire lives together, she had never experienced love before.
In her memories, from the moment Tang Jing could speak, she had been bossing Tang Ning around like she was a servant.
At first, Tang Ning thought she was her older sister, so she should take care of her younger sister, Tang Jing.
However, it was only later that she realized that there was a huge difference in family status between her and her younger sister.
In the family, her younger sister had the best food and clothing. On the other hand, she had limited clothes. She did not even have enough food to eat, but she did not even dare to talk about it. The only food she could eat was white rice and some vegetables that her younger sister did not like to eat.
She still remembered that 1 day, when she took a bite of her younger sister’s favorite stir-fried shrimps, her younger sister was mad at her, and she flipped over all the dishes on the table. Her father, Tang Yun, and her mother, Liu Yuan, immediately punished her by making her kneel in the restaurant for an hour.
Liu Yuan slapped Tang Ning a few times. “You must remember that you and your younger sister are different. You can never compete with your younger sister!”
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the restaurant, Tang Jing covered her mouth and snickered as she watched her mother scold Tang Ning.
At that time, Tang Ning was only 7 years old. She did not cry because she was already used to being beaten and humiliated by her parents.
However, when she once saw Liu Yuan speak to the maid in a gentle and understanding tone, she cried. She realized her parents were not bad-tempered. They were simply mean to her.
After that incident, Tang Ning no longer dared to eat the food that she fancied.
However, a growing child would easily get hungry, right? Tang Ning felt that the maids were more superior than her at home. At least, they could eat whatever they wanted.
“Dad, let’s not talk about Tang Jing and me. Tang Jing wanted to marry the Qin family’s eldest young master. Meanwhile, Gu Yang and I have been in love for 2 years…”
Tang Yun pointed at Tang Ning and yelled, “You, the older sister, only care about your own happiness, while Jing Jing chose to marry him because she wanted to revive our family business! I can’t bear to see Jing Jing marry a cripple who has killed several wives…”
“Then can you bear to see me go?” Tang Ning furrowed her brows as sadness appeared in her eyes.
Tang Yun smiled and asked, “Why would I be reluctant to part with you?”
At this time, Liu Yuan walked into the house. “Yes, why would your father be reluctant to part with you?”
Tang Ning placed 1 hand on her chest and clenched it into a fist. She had been abused since she was young, but she still subconsciously longed for her parents’ love, even if it was just a little bit!
“You…” Tang Ning’s voice trembled. “Don’t tell me that all you care about is Tang Jing. Have you ever thought of me as your daughter?”
“I don’t have a daughter like you!” Tang Yun pointed at Tang Ning as he shouted, “Yesterday, your mother told me that you had been fooling around with a man for years and even gave birth to a child! A shameless person like you should marry that cripple!”
His words were so loud that Tang Ning’s body trembled. She never expected that her parents could say such a thing!
Back then, Tang Jing was the one who was fooling around outside. She did not know who she had provoked, and the man wanted her to pay for it with her own body. So, for some reason, Tang Ning was sent to the man’s bed instead of Tang Jing.
After that day, Tang Ning became pregnant with a child.
She had always lacked a warm family and insisted on having this child. In order to keep this child, she had no choice but to beg Liu Yuan and Tang Jing to keep it a secret. She used the excuse of going out to study to take care of her baby.
However, the child that Tang Ning had been waiting for died the moment it was born.
“Mom, since you could say such a thing, I don’t need to hide the fact that I slept with that strange man on behalf of Tang Jing!”
Slap! Liu Yuan slapped Tang Ning hard on the face, “How dare you say such a thing?”
