Chapter 1229: The Fool's Daughter (8)

There was truth mixed with falsehood in Tang Liping's words, but the words spoken by Tang Guo's father, Tang Lide, were completely sincere.

Had she not claimed to owe a hundred thousand yuan and even fabricated a story about surviving on instant noodles during lunch breaks at work, he probably would have agreed to simply give the car to Tang Zhiming. Anyone unaware of the truth would have thought Tang Zhiming was his son.

Thus, the matter was settled.

Sure enough, when Liu Chunyue's family left, Song Jinghua enthusiastically urged them to take away most of the unused ingredients. Naturally, that free-range chicken worth one hundred and fifty yuan went home with Liu Chunyue as well.

Looking at the kitchen, where only some vegetables remained, Tang Guo didn't even bother commenting.

In the living room, the two suckers were still discussing whether what they had done was inappropriate. They talked about how Liu Chunyue and her husband had exhausted themselves over Tang Zhiming's marriage.

They were even worried that gathering one hundred thousand yuan might be too difficult for them.

If things truly didn't work out, they planned to chip in some money and help.

Tang Guo rolled her eyes and went straight back to her room, shutting the door behind her.

System asked in disbelief, Host, they're really generous. Don't they feel bad about losing money?

“Of course they do,” Tang Guo replied lazily. “But what they value even more is the affection between siblings. In their minds, money should never destroy family relationships. They've never considered that Uncle's family is already wealthier than ours.”

So we're just going to let them keep giving things away? System had already lost the ability to comment on the couple.

Lying on her bed with half-closed eyes, Tang Guo said, “Didn't I already tell you? I want them to experience being driven into a corner and wandering through life without stability. As long as I'm around, they won't starve.”

System shuddered.

He had forgotten—his host had never been soft-hearted.

“From now on, whenever someone comes to them asking for favors and handouts, I'll persuade them once or twice. If they don't listen, then forget it. If they insist on it, they can enjoy the miserable days waiting for them in the future.”

Host, don't forget that scumbag later on—the murderer.

“I haven't forgotten. Of everyone, I would never forget someone who has a grudge with me.”

System: Then pretend I never brought it up.

A few days later, Tang Guo drove Tang Zhiming to get the car inspected. Naturally, there wasn't a single problem with it. Tang Guo even requested two inspection reports, one for herself and one for Tang Zhiming. She even took photographs as proof.

During the transfer process, it was clearly documented that every component of the car had been in perfect condition at the time of sale.

After all the procedures were completed, Tang Zhiming sat in the driver's seat, beaming with satisfaction. “Little Cousin Xiaoguo, want me to drive you home?”

“No need, Cousin. I still need to pay back my colleague. We arranged to meet today. They helped me so much, so I plan to treat them to a meal.”

Naturally, that was a lie.

“Alright then, I'm off.”

His delight was obvious. From the eager expression on his face, it was clear he intended to take the car out for a spin.

“Cousin, drive carefully. Honestly, I still think traveling with a tour group is the best option.”

It was Tang Guo's final reminder.

Tang Zhiming naturally paid no attention. With a wave, he drove away.

Tang Guo waved her hand back and was about to hail a taxi when, at that moment, a man dressed in a tailored suit walked over from nearby. He looked exceptionally spirited and carried a briefcase in one hand.

The man was handsome and striking, and when he smiled, he looked even more attractive.
