“Oh, so that scumbag and that b*tch is here,” Tang Wei said coldly as she clenched her fists.

Tang Wei was someone who would even cuss out her own brother when she was angry, so Song Chichi was not surprised by her words.

She only lowered her eyes and nodded.

Just like that, the scumbag and the b*tch outside had already arrived at the door of the cubicle.

Zheng Min said in a soft tone, “Oh, Sister Wei’s here too. I thought you went back to C City… Ah, I know. It’s because Song Chichi is here. You must be staying at her house, right?”

Tang Yannan originally wanted to ask Tang Wei why she was here, but when he heard what Minmin said, his face sank and he felt a little embarrassed.

“Tang Wei, why do you act like you don’t have a home? Why do you run off to other people’s homes to leech off of their things rather than look for a job yourself?”

In Tang Yannan’s heart, his biological sister was always a synonym for the worst. She was ignorant, incompetent, and jobless.

Unlike Minmin, who when she had just arrived at the Tang family, he brought her to a party. At the party, she had introduced herself openly and managed to grab the opportunity to enter the entertainment industry.

In fact, Tang Yannan did not know that those people were only being so kind and scouting Zheng Min just because they were chasing after the Tang family’s reputation in C City.

The two didn’t know about this at all.

Tang Wei held her best friend’s hand in a protective posture. She turned to the woman who was deliberately stirring up trouble at the door and her second brother. She said coldly, “It’s none of your business. It seems like you’re still so bored even after getting hit by me. You’ve come here today to ask for more, right?”

Her words were merciless. Zheng Min, who was at the door, put on an ashamed face. She was cursing Tang Wei to death in her heart, but she still said pitifully, “I was just concerned about you. After all, we’re family.”

Song Chichi felt disgusted by her, not to mention that she was acting intimately with Tang Yannan. “I’m dying of laughter. A stepdaughter like you isn’t worthy of being my best friend’s family!”

“Song Chichi! Who allowed you to slander Minmin like this? Apologize to her!” Tang Yannan said coldly.

The last time he met Song Chichi at the apartment, he had mocked her. He thought that this woman would restrain herself and drive away with a sad expression. However, he did not expect her to reply to him so rudely.

Song Chichi’s heart ached again. She straightened her neck and said, “I won’t!”

Tang Wei blocked her second brother’s gaze on Song Chichi and said, “You’d better not disturb our good mood.”

Song Chichi was very grateful to Tang Wei for blocking the man from her view. She wiped away the tears that were about to fall and looked elsewhere with red eyes.

She really hated herself. Whenever she met Tang Yannan, she seemed to lose her composure.

Tang Wei secretly cheered her on.

Tang Yannan frowned and emphasized, “Tang Wei, stop embarrassing yourself. Find a job as soon as possible. You have to learn from Minmin.”

“Hey, I…”

He interrupted her quickly and continued, “Also, the female lead of ‘Red Maze’ should have been Minmin. Did Song Chichi use some tricks to get that role? Tang Wei, you’d better not be siding with some outsider. If you’re that short of money, I can give you some.”

In Tang Yannan’s mind, his biological sister was still closer to him than Song Chichi, who he considered an outsider. Even though she had been by his side for a long time all through his adolescence, he still didn’t see her as a friend or anything closer.

He had talked to Zheng Min before regarding this. The girl didn’t directly say anything, but her words were enough to point out she was saying her supposed female lead role in ‘Red Maze’ had been snatched away by someone else.

Song Chichi’s family was indeed rich, so she definitely used her connections. Tang Yannan did not want his sister to get involved with such a scheming woman and harm Minmin again.

Tang Wei’s cold eyes swept over the woman who was smiling proudly behind Tang Yannan, and then her eyes moved to her second brother’s serious look, as if he was saving a loved one who was about to fall into the abyss.

She was puzzled. Wasn’t it the Tang family who mistreated her time and time again? Why was he acting as if nothing had happened?

“Did you learn such wishful thinking from your beloved stepsister? No wonder you’re so annoying.”

Tang Wei raised her hand as if she was chasing away mosquitoes and said impatiently, “Just leave, leave already.”

Zheng Min said, “Second Brother, let’s go. It’s fine, I don’t mind losing the female lead role in ‘Red Maze’. However, Sister Wei will regret it if she doesn’t come home to us soon. Let’s persuade her in a few days to not live in, um… Other people’s house-”

“…”

Tang Wei grabbed the glass cup on the table and threw it toward Tang Yannan and Zheng Min. The top-quality glass made a dull sound as it rolled on the ground, still intact.

“Get lost already, you bastards!”

Tang Yannan hurriedly pulled Zheng Min aside when the cup was thrown at them. He was very angry and wanted to go over to settle the score, but Zheng Min stopped him.

“Second Brother, don’t go over. I’m scared.”

Tang Yannan had no choice but to give up. He raised his voice and said to the person opposite him, “Tang Wei, if you don’t stop being so stubborn, Big Brother will come to punish you sooner or later!”

With that, he left with Zheng Min.

Tang Wei grabbed a cup and wanted to chase after him, but she was stopped by her best friend.

“Enough already, they’ve left.”

She closed her eyes and gritted her teeth. “Why do I have to deal with such stupid relatives!”

“Wei’er, is this our bad year? Did we not check the calendar properly?”

Song Chichi walked over to pick up the cup on the ground while complaining.

“I don’t care. I’m already numb to this. You, on the other hand.” Tang Wei said.

“What? If you don’t care, then I don’t care either.”

“Youreally need to find a better option.” Tang Wei advised her. She didn’t want Song Chichi to be sad about her stupid second brother.

She had dissuaded Song Chichi like this many times before, but the girl would always either refuse or say that she was already crushing on another random man. This time, Tang Wei only said this casually out of habit.

Unexpectedly, Song Chichi actually agreed.

“Really?” The haze in Tang Wei’s heart was swept away.

Song Chichi nodded and said with concern, “But I’m afraid it won’t be good for me to do that if I’m going to be featured in ‘Red Maze’.”

Tang Wei was in a dilemma when she heard that. She clicked her tongue and said, “That’s true. You’re taking a step further in your career now, so being in a relationship might just bring your hard work and efforts to ruin.”

“Besides, all those people you dated before are now your dark history. Couldn’t you have found someone better back then?”

“Please, I don’t even consider them as my exes. They can only be considered short amusement. Anyway, just let fate take its course.” Song Chichi shrugged.

“What fate? I don’t believe in fate at all.” Tang Wei sneered.

“Fate can be everywhere, even in a crowd. When you look over, you’ll feel a connection with that single person.”

Tang Wei’s mind flashed back to when she met Lu Beichen at the Civil Affairs Bureau’s entrance.

“You and Third Master Lu are fated,” Song Chichi said with a smile. “But I don’t know if you’re destined to be together.”

Tang Wei ignored her last sentence.

“Him?” she said indifferently. “How is that possible? This marriage was just a lucky accident for the two of us. After all, he might have married someone else instead of me. It was just an accident that he contacted me.”

“Look, you’ve already said so yourself. There are so many people on that app, so why did he choose you? Isn’t that fate? An accident is also a form of fate, okay?” Song Chichi continued.
