She was really furious today!

The two of them walked shoulder by shoulder, whispering to each other intimately. They didn’t seem to notice Tang Xiaoxiao when they passed by her.

Tang Zheng was chatting to Tang Rou as they walked. Tang Xiaoxiao hadn’t come to pester him in the past weeks and didn’t even come to bully Tang Rou, and it seemed as if Tang Xiaoxiao’s shadow had completely disappeared from their lives. He couldn’t help but relax, as if he was living a glorious life under the sun. His days spent with Tang Rou was basically the same as the love between immortals. He even had time to think that he would probably marry Tang Rou in the future so long that Tang Xiaoxiao didn’t come out to disrupt their lives.

Rourou, we will be happy.

“Stop right there.”

A familiar voice rang from behind them. It sounded like a Devil’s call, making him shiver unconsciously.

As if shocked by the cold tone, Tang Rou jumped. When she saw Tang Xiaoxiao, coldness flashed in her eyes before she hid in Tang Zheng’s arms weakly. Her expression was terrible as she grabbed onto Tang Zheng’s sleeves tightly.

Seeing Tang Rou’s timid and pale face in his arms, Tang Zheng’s heart couldn’t help but ache for her. He turned around fiercely. “Tang! Xiao! Xiao! Why are you everywhere? Must you pester me all the time? Look at you, how did you scare Tang Rou so much? Let me warn you, you’re not allowed to bully Rourou again…”

As if she had suffered drastically, Tang Rou buried her face into Tang Zheng’s arms as she sobbed. She cowered and said weakly, “Sister, please don’t bully me…”

Seeing Tang Rou’s pitiful demeanor, Tang Xiaoxiao was so angry her teeth were itching! F*ck, she hated women who acted weak the most!

Tang Xiaoxiao hugged her arms as she smirked coldly. “Why? The two of you can be intimate and act sweet in front of everyone, even though you didn’t see me at all? Tsk tsk, I didn’t know that the golden couple really matches each other so well…”

“W-What are you talking about?” Tang Zheng’s face paled as he couldn’t help but take in the staff’s strange gazes from around them. He then looked down at the hint of fear and begging in Tang Rou’s eyes and said against his heart, “Stop talking nonsense! What golden couple? Rourou is my younger sister!”

“Tsk tsk, she’s your younger sister…” Tang Xiaoxiao sighed as if she had been disappointed, “Are you siblings always this intimate? I’m also your younger sister, why don’t I receive such treatment?”

The words made Tang Zheng smirked coldly as he lifted his head in arrogance. “You only have yourself to blame!”

A ruthless glint flashed in Tang Xiaoxiao’s eyes as her heart slowly froze. Tang Zheng, you still dare to anger me at this point in time, you’re really seeking death! I originally wanted to leave a path for you two to live, but from the looks of it, there’s no reason to be so merciful!

“Oh? I only have myself to blame?”

Tang Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow as she approached them and suddenly raised her hand to pull Tang Rou right out of Tang Zheng’s arms. In the next second, a loud slap echoed in the lobby and Tang Rou had received a strong and heavy slap!

This slap was done rather coolly!

“Tang Xiaoxiao, you b*tch! I will kill you! You actually dared to hit Xiao Rou!”

Tang Zheng’s boisterous roar rang in the lobby suddenly as his voice was filled with a ballistic rage. His eyes were completely red, looking as if he had lost his rationality from extreme anger.

Before he finished speaking, he waved his fists and was about to rush towards Tang Xiaoxiao!

“Tang Zheng, I’m warning you. If you dare touch even a single hair of Xiaoxiao, not to mention Tang Rou, even you can’t ask to have a good life!” a gentle and warm voice suddenly sounded out from the other end of the lobby. His words were clearly a threat and while his tone was one of anger, to others hearing him, he still sounded like a warm spring breeze.

Hearing this voice, Tang Zheng, who had turned ballistic, suddenly stopped. His waving fists froze in the air, yet he didn’t have the guts to throw his fists down. He could only glare at Tang Xiaoxiao fixedly, as if he badly wanted to taste her blood and eat her up!

Tang Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow as an alluring smile appeared on her lips. The frost on her expression was wiped away as she called out softly, “Brother, why are you here?”

Tang Jingchen walked over helplessly with adoring eyes. He caressed Tang Xiaoxiao’s little head affectionately. “If I didn’t happen to be here, wouldn’t you be bullied? Oh you, you’re always so mischievous. Tell me, how did you bully them this time?”

Tang Xiaoxiao poked her tongue out mischievously as she glanced at the furious Tang Zheng on purpose and strode towards the center. She pointed at the sobbing Tang Rou and said coldly, “Tang Rou, are you unhappy because I hit you today?”

“You’re the one who was bullying her. Who are you to hit Xiao Rou?” because of Tang Jingchen’s domineering aura, Tang Zheng had no choice and could only retort angrily.

Tang Rou was sobbing to the point she could barely make a sound, the flaming red print visible on her pale cheek.

A smirk appeared on Tang Xiaoxiao’s face as she pointed at Tang Rou and said fiercely, “Tang Rou, although you’re not a part of our Tang family, since Auntie Cao brought you into the Tang family and changed your surname to Tang, no matter who your parents are, you’re living at our Tang family and taking the surname, so you should at least represent our Tang family’s face!

“Us Tang family gave you a luxurious lifestyle, allowed you to rise through the social ranks and made you a Tang family’s Young Miss on paper. But, look at what you have done. You can be shameless yourself, but don’t drag down our Tang family reputation! You acted intimate with your older brother in public and acted sweet with him as if you were alone. Let’s not talk about how you two are still not married, even if you are, is Tang Dynasty Corporation a place for you to act intimate and sweet?

“I slapped you today to help Auntie Cao teach you. If Auntie Cao doesn’t know how to teach her daughter properly, I will do it for her! Tang Rou, you’d better remember that you’re not any unknown passerby. You are our Tang family’s Young Miss now, so you had better take note of your own face! Don’t implicate the Tang family name and humiliate us, just because you have no shame when you humiliate yourself!”

At the moment, Tang Xiaoxiao’s aura was overpowering while her gaze was sharp and fierce, exuding the dominance of a Queen. It made it hard for people around them to breathe properly…

Tang Xiaoxiao’s words were like the slashes of a whip, direct and harsh, but others couldn’t find a fault in them either. Especially to the others around them who heard them, they felt that everything she said was rather reasonable. A top elite family like the Tangs seemingly deserved such strict upbringing and rules and should have this sort of aura that made it hard to breathe for others.

The entire lobby was silent, as if the only thing left in the room was Tang Xiaoxiao’s queenly aura… Everyone stared at the actual Tang family’s little princess that appeared out of nowhere dumbfounded, not daring to believe their own eyes.

To them, Tang Rou, who was high above them, was slapped so easily by her? Could this rare beauty be the legendary Tang family princess that never appeared in public? Indeed, she was a genuine member of the Tang family!

Only the power and attitude she had was deserving of the position as the future Tang family head!

Tang Jingchen was shocked as well as he stared blankly at Tang Xiaoxiao. This radiant and sparkling girl in front of him was like a queen that was above everyone and had seemingly overturned the image of the willful and arrogant little princess he had in his mind. Originally, he thought that he would have to clean up after her mess today as he usually did. He never thought…
