Chapter 1787: Unlucky Heiress (55)

【Tang Kui: "What is that woman thinking? Is she wondering why I didn't offer to buy her a car? On what grounds should I? Why should she get a share every time I buy something for Guoguo? How can she dream so beautifully?"】

【111, ever the lackey, chimed in: "Host, just pretend you didn't see anything."】

"I'm full."

Tang Yi truly couldn't bear to stay at the dining table any longer. Putting down her chopsticks, she politely informed everyone before turning and returning to her room.

Lin Yinghui and Tang Yongbo asked a couple of questions, and Tang Yi replied that she wasn't feeling unwell, only that she hadn't had much appetite lately.

After she went upstairs, Lin Yinghui cast Tang Kui a helpless look and quietly said, "A'Kui, Mom knows you're close to Guoguo and have always been distant with Xiaoyi. I'm not forcing you to become close to her. We don't object to you doting on Guoguo—in fact, we're happy about it. But things like this can be discussed privately. There's no need to bring them up at the dinner table."

She had noticed that Tang Yi seemed a little upset. Thinking about it briefly, she guessed that Tang Kui's words had hurt her feelings.

But A'Kui had always been this kind of person. There was no need for him to treat everyone equally. People naturally had favorites—even they themselves were no exception.

Many times, they had wanted to treat Tang Guo better, but they worried that Tang Yi would overthink things. After all, she had been their daughter for more than ten years, no different from a biological child. Being parents wasn't easy. They could only try their best to preserve Tang Yi's dignity.

As for Tang Kui only doting on Tang Guo, they were perfectly willing to accept it. As parents, with Tang Yi involved, it was difficult for them to openly favor Tang Guo too much.

"Mom, it's all the same. Whether it's done openly or in private, she'll find out sooner or later. People are different by nature. Guoguo is my biological sister. We've been separated for more than ten years. Shouldn't I treat her better? What's wrong with buying her a car? Even if I bought her one every day, that's my choice. I like it, I enjoy spoiling her. Even if she can't drive them all and they end up rusting away in a warehouse, that's still my business."

The Tang couple found his words both amusing and exasperating.

The reason they hadn't openly prioritized Tang Guo in everything was because, over the year since her return, they had discovered that their daughter was truly exceptional.

Originally, they had intended to leave the Tang Corporation entirely in Tang Kui's hands. They had once considered cultivating Tang Yi as well, but eventually discovered that while her grades were indeed good, she lacked aptitude in certain areas and simply had no talent for managing the corporation's affairs.

Tang Yi was like girls from ordinary families. She lacked keen business instincts and paid no attention to things they casually left around the house. Despite spending more than ten years with the Tang family, she still knew nothing about the fields in which the Tang Corporation operated.

When Tang Yi had resolutely chosen the liberal arts track, they had basically determined the path she would take in the future. So when she wanted to study all sorts of artistic skills, they gladly agreed, enrolling her in classes for music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

Meanwhile, daughters from many families of the same social class had already begun learning about their family businesses and receiving specialized training in that direction.

But their Guoguo was different.

Especially after earning her internship at the company through her own ability, adapting to the environment in such a short time, and even producing some achievements.

At that moment, both husband and wife had already made up their minds.

In the future, the Tang Corporation would be jointly managed by this pair of their children.
