Chapter 1767: Unlucky Heiress (34)

“It's just right. Guoguo has good taste. I like it very much,” Tang Kui said, gazing at Tang Guo. After a three-second pause, he continued, “I'll wear it all the time.”

The moment he put the bracelet on his wrist, Tang Kui felt his soul clear and his mind become refreshed. The smile on his lips deepened.

This was probably something his good little sister had prepared long ago to keep his mind clear, lest that evil thing confuse and corrupt him.

Even without that purpose, he could tell that the bracelet would benefit him.

“As long as Big Brother likes it.” Tang Guo revealed a sweet smile.

Tang Kui replied matter-of-factly, “Of course I like anything my sister gives me.”

Watching the intimacy between the two, Tang Yi quickly interjected, “Big Brother, I also prepared gifts for everyone.”

“Oh, is that so?” Tang Kui said flatly. There was no joy on his face, nor any other emotion.

Tang Yi returned to her room and first brought out the gifts for Tang Guo and Tang Kui. She gave Tang Guo a necklace and Tang Kui a watch.

“Thank you for the gift, Xiao Yi,” Tang Kui thanked her politely, making no move to put on the watch. The sight made Tang Yi's heart ache.

She pressed her lips together lightly. “I'll go give Mom and Dad their gifts.”

The Tang couple praised her profusely and even put on the gifts in front of her.

But in the following days, Tang Yi noticed that the whole family wore the gifts Tang Guo had given them all the time.

As for the things she had given, even the Tang couple only wore them for a day or two before putting them away.

Although it had always been this way, she still felt deeply hurt.

How could she know that the three of them wore Tang Guo's gifts not only because they doted on her and remembered her instructions?

Not to mention that Tang Kui knew the benefits of the bracelet, even the Tang couple could clearly feel that wearing it was different from not wearing it. In the end, they firmly believed that the items had truly been blessed by an eminent monk and naturally wore them every day.

As time went by, Tang Yi always tried to find opportunities to get close to Tang Kui.

Tang Kui treated her no differently than before—distant and indifferent.

But before, there had been no comparison.

Now, with Tang Guo as the comparison, Tang Yi found it unbearable.

What truly broke her heart was her birthday banquet.

Originally, she had planned to invite Tang Kui to dance with her. She had even told those around her that she would definitely dance with her big brother.

Unexpectedly, Tang Kui attended a business gathering that day and drank quite a lot. By the time he returned to attend her birthday banquet, he looked completely drunk, his face flushed red.

When Tang Yi saw him enter, supported by Tang Guo because he couldn't even walk steadily, she simply couldn't bring herself to ask.

【111: “Host, you've broken that young girl's heart.”】

【Tang Kui: “What young girl? Just a little scheming bitch. Not my type.”】

The system and Tang Guo: “……”

So he had been pretending to be drunk.

Which made sense. Anyone who had seen the plot knew that Tang Yi would invite Tang Kui to dance. As her older brother, he really couldn't let her lose face that day and would have had to agree.

But Tang Kui had never been someone willing to wrong himself. Naturally, he would find a way around it.

Late at night, remembering how cold Tang Kui still was toward her, Tang Yi felt utterly dejected. Without realizing it, she had drunk quite a lot that day as well.

She was going through all the gifts Tang Kui had given her since childhood when she accidentally found a box hidden away very carefully.

Opening it, she saw a smooth stone lying inside.

The sight of that stone sobered her somewhat.
