Chapter 1269: The Fool’s Daughter (48)

Normally, Tang Lide took the subway to and from work, but that day he hailed a taxi and hurried home. Grabbing the property deed, he rushed out again. Liu Chunyue usually got home later than he did, so there was enough time to finish all the paperwork before she returned.

Tang Guo watched with her own eyes as Tang Lide received the five hundred thousand yuan transfer and immediately sent it to Tang Liping. She merely shook her head softly.

Afterward, she saw Tang Lide stop by the market and buy a number of good dishes. Returning home, the man who never cooked actually took the initiative to prepare dinner himself.

“A man who never enters the kitchen suddenly deciding to cook?” Tang Guo smiled faintly. “There's definitely something suspicious going on. I wonder whether Mom will notice.”

When Song Jinghua came home and saw Tang Lide preparing a lavish meal, she was genuinely shocked. She even joked that the sun must have risen in the west.

Tang Lide answered vaguely, making up one excuse after another. He said they had been eating vegetarian food lately and his mouth had become tasteless. Besides, he had just gotten paid, and since she hadn't returned yet, he decided to cook himself.

Song Jinghua didn't suspect anything. The constant worries about money had left her with gray hairs and caused no shortage of arguments recently.

Tang Lide also said he wanted to apologize and make peace with her. Hearing that, she didn't think too deeply about it. The couple happily enjoyed their dinner together.

And just like that, Tang Lide managed to conceal the matter.

Meanwhile, Tang Guo counted the days, waiting for the loan sharks to come knocking. Her own information was hidden tightly by the system. Even loan sharks couldn't openly cause trouble at her workplace. Besides, she wasn't the one who had borrowed the money. At worst, they would only take her parents' house.

She had no intention of stopping any of this.

Her goal was to make the two of them lose everything.

Who said parents were always right?

Anyone who made mistakes had to pay the price.

Originally, she had considered pretending to be the loan sharks herself and finding a way to seize the couple's house.

But later, she abandoned the idea.

She wasn't lacking money.

And if the two of them learned one day that she had orchestrated everything, there was a chance they wouldn't repent at all and would instead accuse her of being cold and heartless.

It was far better to let Tang Lide seek out the loan sharks himself. Then, when trouble came knocking, it would truly be trouble coming to their door.

She had already distanced herself. One thing Tang Lide and Song Jinghua did have going for them was that whenever something happened, the first people they'd seek help from were always those relatives.

Most likely, they wouldn't even remember they had a daughter at first.

Of course, after exhausting those relatives, someone would eventually remind them that they still had a daughter.

“System, help me look up nursing homes around the country. Find out which one has the best reputation.”

She had already made up her mind.

Even if the two of them repented in the end, sending them to a nursing home would still be the best option.

As for any assets she recovered later, she would simply use them to cover the costs of their stay.

With personalities as soft-hearted as theirs, if they had money in hand, then even if the Tang family and her maternal relatives didn't swindle it away, they'd end up being cheated by some old men and women in the nursing home.

The system immediately answered, “Understood, Host.”

Honestly, it didn't think there was anything wrong with that arrangement.

Compared to the fate they could have suffered, peacefully spending their old age in a nursing home was already an incredibly happy ending.

In fact, they ought to thank the Host.

Given their behavior, they shouldn't expect her to harbor much affection for them.

The fact that she hadn't even immersed herself in the original owner's emotions this time proved enough—she didn't particularly like this world.

Still, the system couldn't help but feel curious.

Why was Host so determined to find the very best nursing home?
