Chapter 1764: Unlucky Heiress (31)

She wondered when Tang Kui would invite her to dance.

There was still some time before her eighteenth birthday. Perhaps then she could make a request and ask Tang Kui to agree to dance with her.

Just thinking about it made Tang Yi's heart race, her cheeks flushing red.

Afraid someone would notice something, she turned and headed for the restroom.

After standing inside for a while, she was just about to open the door and leave when quiet voices came from outside. She immediately stopped moving.

“The real heiress really is the real heiress. Even after being raised outside, she still turned out so beautiful. Whether it's her looks or her bearing, everything about her is first-rate. As for the fake one, even after being raised from childhood, she really can't compare.”

“You can't say it like that. It's just that this real heiress is exceptionally outstanding. Looking around our circle, there aren't many among our generation who are better than Tang Yi.”

“If she hadn't been lucky enough to be brought into the Tang family and carefully nurtured by them, would she have become this outstanding? Speaking of which, if the real heiress hadn't gotten lost, would she have had this life at all?” The speaker's tone was clearly tinged with jealousy over Tang Yi's good fortune.

Tang Yi could hear it, but those words still struck directly at her deepest pain.

“Shh, keep your voice down. We're here to celebrate today, not ruin the atmosphere. Whether she's real or fake, she's still the Tang family's daughter. Haven't you noticed? Even after the real heiress returned, the Tang couple still kept her by their side. Their attitude makes it obvious that they value their adopted daughter too.”

“Fine, she's just lucky. Honestly, I feel sorry for Tang Guo. She's really unlucky. She got lost when she was little, her parents spent over ten years loving another person's child, and now that she's finally come home, the fake one still gets to stay. Even her parents' love has to be shared with someone else. If it were me, I couldn't stand it.”

“Enough, stop talking. What if someone overhears and we offend people? It's their family matter, not ours. Besides, there's no reason they should throw the fake daughter out just because their real daughter came back. Even raising a cat or a dog creates feelings.”

Their voices gradually faded.

Their footsteps moved farther and farther away.

Only after everything became quiet did Tang Yi step out, her face looking particularly unpleasant.

Back at the banquet, even though no one was discussing her, she still felt miserable. Seeing that she had been gone for a long time, Lin Yinghui came over with a smile and asked if she was feeling unwell. Tang Yi forced out a smile and shook her head, saying she was fine.

The frequent glances cast in her direction made her uncomfortable.

She couldn't help feeling that every person who glanced at her before lowering their heads to whisper was discussing the very things she had just overheard.

In truth, thinking about it rationally, anyone attending this banquet was no fool. Who would openly discuss such things in public?

But Tang Yi couldn't shake the feeling that everyone was talking about her. The more she thought about it, the worse she felt.

Fortunately, several close friends were by her side. Otherwise, she would have been overwhelmed with embarrassment.

Tang Guo had already finished one dance with Tao Yu. At the moment, several young ladies from prominent families sat around her, chatting merrily.

Tang Yi was also sitting with the people she was closest to. Most of them were former classmates she had known since childhood.

Seeing how quickly Tang Guo had blended in, the Tang couple finally let go of their lingering worries and left everything to her.

As for Tang Kui, he had never worried in the first place.

【111: “Host, you just smiled mysteriously. Are you plotting something bad?”】

Tang Guo replied, “I was wondering whether your program was stuffed with bean curd dregs.”
