Chapter 1750: Unlucky Heiress (17)

At the very least, he treated her slightly better than a stranger, even if he had never regarded her as a sister.

Tang Kui happened to catch the look in Tang Yi's eyes and lowered his head with a quiet chuckle.

There was no need to guess what she was thinking. She was probably wondering why he had always been so cold toward her.

That woman really did love to overthink.

Tang Kui had always been this kind of person. Apart from his parents and his biological younger sister, he treated everyone else in the same indifferent manner.

The original Tang Kui had never even been interested in women. If not for the evil artifact's interference, he probably would have dominated the business world instead of wasting his life entangled in romance.

"Guoguo, eat slowly. After we're done, your brother will accompany you to open your presents," Tang Kui said with a smile.

Seeing this, Tang Yongbo added,

"Xiaoyi, you should come along too. You young people should spend more time together."

"That's right. You all have your studies and work to keep you busy, and only weekends are free," Lin Yinghui quickly chimed in.

Clearly, the couple understood Tang Kui's personality very well.

They knew perfectly that Tang Kui wasn't close to Tang Yi. It was simply his nature, and they couldn't force their son to treat her differently.

When situations like this arose, Tang Kui himself wouldn't think to invite Tang Yi, but neither would he object when others suggested it.

Sure enough, Tang Guo nodded, and Tang Kui showed no intention of refusing.

In Tang Kui's eyes, Tang Yi had always been little more than a transparent existence.

Although Tang Kui's attitude hurt Tang Yi, the words of the Tang couple brought her comfort.

After the meal, the three of them entered Tang Guo's room.

It was Tang Yi's first time stepping inside.

Seeing the piles upon piles of unopened gift boxes, she was stunned.

Not only were there birthday presents prepared by the three family members every year, but there were also gifts for every holiday and special occasion.

Of course, they also gave her presents on her birthdays and holidays.

Even Tang Kui had never neglected basic courtesy.

But seeing all these gifts gathered together at once was still shocking.

As for the Tang couple, that was understandable.

But Tang Yi was certain that the gifts Tang Kui prepared for Tang Guo had been carefully chosen by himself, unlike hers, which had probably been selected by his assistants.

The thought made her feel sour again.

She immediately warned herself that such jealousy was inappropriate.

Tang Guo had spent so many years wandering outside before finally returning.

Tang Kui was her real brother. It was only natural for him to prepare gifts so thoughtfully.

She shouldn't be jealous.

Besides, her feelings for Tang Kui were different. She shouldn't dwell on something so trivial.

Since Tang Kui loved Tang Guo so much, perhaps if she developed a good relationship with Tang Guo, he might eventually look at her differently.

With that thought, Tang Yi began treating Tang Guo with genuine sincerity.

Perhaps this wasn't such a bad choice.

As the saying went, love me, love my dog.

Maybe one day, Tang Kui would finally notice her.

"These were all prepared by your parents and your brother," Tang Yi said as she stood beside Tang Guo and handed her a pair of scissors.

"Guoguo, open them and take a look."

"Every year on your birthday, they would come into this room."

"Whenever that happened, I could tell they were heartbroken, but I didn't dare disturb them. I never knew how to comfort them."

"I only knew one thing..."

"They truly wished for you to come home."

There was genuine sincerity in Tang Yi's words.

Because of Tang Kui, she had already made up her mind—

She wanted to get along well with Tang Guo.
