Chapter 1765: Unlucky Heiress (32)

After the banquet, Tang Guo's outstanding performance left a deep impression on everyone in their social circle. No one could shake the status of the Tang family's little princess anymore.

Later, several daughters from influential families felt they had gotten along well with her and wanted to be friends.

Tang Guo naturally didn't reject sincere goodwill.

Besides, with her current status, she really did need a few friends from the same circle.

As they spent more time together, everyone became familiar with one another.

By the weekends, those young ladies would call and invite Tang Guo out to have fun.

Or Tang Guo would invite them to the Tang residence. Later, she asked them whether they liked snacks, mentioning that her adoptive parents owned a snack shop.

If they were interested, they could go there directly, and she would treat them.

Though they were all young ladies from distinguished families, when it came to delicious food, they were no different from anyone else.

Especially after hearing that the shop had been recommended by countless internet influencers.

They picked a day and arrived at noon.

The usually refined young ladies had dressed very casually. Each of them wore a loose T-shirt, as though preparing to eat their fill without restraint.

Seeing how easygoing these young misses were, Chen Xian and Zhao Wen couldn't help but like them a little.

They were happy that their daughter had been able to fit into her own social circle so quickly.

Tang Yi and Tang Guo saw each other once a week, and under the current circumstances, Tang Yi wasn't going to break down just yet.

As for when she would finally be unable to endure it, even Tang Guo didn't know.

Before the banquet, she had already given the life-saving charms to the Tang couple and repeatedly reminded them to keep them close at all times.

This time, the charms she made were bracelets that resembled Buddhist prayer beads.

Since the couple both had some faith in Buddhism, she had catered to their preferences.

“Mom, Dad, I brought back peace charms for everyone in the family from a temple during my business trip,” Tang Kui said during a weekend meal, taking out four gift boxes.

The moment he brought them out, Tang Guo sensed a special kind of power.

Even if this world itself didn't possess supernatural forces, her soul was exceptionally powerful and highly sensitive to such energies.

Tang Kui first pushed two boxes in front of Tang Yongbo and Lin Yinghui. The remaining two were placed before Tang Guo and Tang Yi.

Tang Guo clearly sensed that the item in Tang Yi's box contained no special power. It was just an ordinary object.

Picking up her own box and opening it, she found a teardrop-shaped jade pendant with no elaborate carvings.

Tang Yi opened hers as well and found a nearly identical jade pendant.

Both styles were youthful and suitable for young women.

“You actually remembered to bring us gifts.” Tang Yongbo and Lin Yinghui exchanged glances and opened their boxes.

Tang Yongbo's contained a jade plaque carved with an image of Guanyin.

Lin Yinghui's was an exquisite Buddha-head pendant, elegant and fitting for a woman to wear.

“They look quite nice.” Tang Yongbo understood jade. “Kid, you've really put your heart into this. Must've cost quite a bit, huh?”

“It's for honoring Mom and Dad. Money isn't the issue,” Tang Kui replied. “These have all been blessed. You must keep them on you.”

Lin Yinghui nodded. “You brother and sister really think alike. Earlier, Guoguo gave us these Buddhist bead bracelets and said they'd been blessed too. She told us to wear them all the time.”

“Oh? Is that so?” Tang Kui's gaze fell upon the bracelets on their wrists.
