"Wow! You both have the last name Tang, and your names are similar!" She stared at Tang Lanlan and Tang Qianqian with her big watery eyes, scanning their faces non-stop: "Are you really not sisters? Lanlan, do you really not have a lost sister?!"
“Shut up!” Tang Lanlan rolled her eyes at Shi Mixing and looked like she had a headache. She rubbed her temples and then turned around and said, “I’m sorry, this is Shi Mixing, my best friend. She has a very childish personality. I’m sorry to have embarrassed you.”
"It's okay. Sister Shi is quite fun." Tang Qianqian shook her head and racked her brains to find a neutral word to describe Shi Mixing.
After all, in this era, there are very few people who are so familiar with others. Everyone minds their own business and would rather keep their social circle confined to the room. How could someone give facial cleanser to someone before they even know each other, like Shi Mixing did?
On the contrary, she and Tang Lanlan are the common way modern young people communicate - looking at each other in silence, and then lowering their heads to play with their mobile phones.
But often in a group, the most popular ones are those lively people who seem to be unable to understand the atmosphere, because it is their existence that makes the group lively, instead of falling into silence.
Just like the joke on the Internet says, in an active group, besides the group owner who is 160cm tall, has a delicate body and is easy to push down, likes to wear skirts, can cook, has a gentle personality and is a man, and the ** administrator who likes to act cute and arrogant, the most important things are those silly group members who do nothing all day long and just chat, act silly and cute in the group.
And Shimixing is just such an existence.
Perhaps it was that emotional appeal that disregarded any defense that was the real reason why she could become Tang Lanlan's best friend.
All in all, the awkward atmosphere between Tang Lanlan and Tang Qianqian was somewhat eased.
Tang Lanlan also took this time to think about his wording.
"Qian...Qian, you look like a college student. I am a few years older than you. If you want, you can call me Sister Lazy." As she spoke, although there was still no expression on her face, her tone was not as stiff as before.
"You should also know why I approach you, although I don't believe in fate."
"But we do look alike, even though I haven't heard from my parents that I have a lost sister, so I couldn't help but come and get to know you."
Tang Lanlan said, and raised his hand to rub his temple involuntarily.
Perhaps it was because Shi Mixing was too happy just now that she suffered from nervous breakdown and her temples were throbbing.
"Of course, I also have selfish motives." She put down her hands and laughed at herself.
"In fact, since I was very young, I have hoped that I could have a younger sister. I even often dreamed of myself playing with my younger sister."
"It's just that my parents have been busy with business and have grown older in recent years, so this wish has also fallen through."
"But the moment I saw you, hope was ignited in my heart."
Tang spoke lazily, perhaps feeling that she was a little incoherent, she showed a stiff smile again.
"So... I hope you will consider my request."
"Qianqian...can you be my sister?"
It is not the kind of sisterhood between friends, nor the kind of sisterhood that is just verbal, but a real sisterhood between blood relatives where one can enjoy love and support each other.
"I can provide you with everything you have now, even more than what your sister gives you now. If you want, you can even go to Beijing with me and become a real rich girl."
Tang Qianqian remained silent, listening quietly to Tang Lanlan's narration.
She, who had always been slow to react, could now hear the expectation and desire in Tang Lanlan's voice.
This woman who looks as cold as ice actually hides such gentle hope in her heart.
She wanted to have a sister, she wanted to be a sister.
If a younger sister has a sister like this, she must be very happy.
She also believed that if she agreed to Tang Lanlan's request, she would definitely be able to become a phoenix in a wealthy family.
She thought about it and shook her head.
"Sister Lanlan, I believe that if you had a younger sister, she would definitely feel very happy."
"But I'm sorry, I have my own sister too."
"But I know that you and your two sisters are not related by blood!"
We can do that too...
There was a rare hint of emotion on Tang Lanlan's face.
But she still faced Tang Qianqian's rejection.
"Indeed, Sister Youyou and Sister Keke and I are not related by blood, and we have never concealed this fact."
"But...even though we are not sisters by blood, we have lived together for more than ten years." Tang Qianqian looked directly into Tang Lanlan's eyes and said firmly, "The relationship between me and them has been precipitated over time. We are real and undeniable sisters."
"So, I'm sorry, but I refuse."
That’s right, although Tang Lanlan’s words were sincere, Tang Qianqian also believed that she would definitely become a good sister to someone.
But there is one fact that is beyond doubt and cannot be changed——
Her sisters, named Tang Youyou and Tang Keke, are two sisters who are very strong but will always spoil her.
210. Your family may love you more than you think
"you!"
Tang Lanlan couldn't help but gasp for breath.
To be honest, she always saw scenes in novels where a common girl rejected a domineering president, but this was the first time in her life that she saw someone reject her so resolutely.
There was absolutely no room for negotiation, as if she was saying something that was incompatible with her beliefs and was irreconcilable.
But the conditions she proposed were clearly completely beneficial to Tang Qianqian. She didn't even require her to break off relations with her two adopted sisters. She just wanted her to recognize her as a sister and stay at her house more often. This was completely beneficial with no harm.
Could it be that the so-called sisterhood that they had grown together for more than ten years was so indestructible and seamless that it couldn't even accommodate her?
Or was it that the conditions she offered were not generous enough to attract Tang Qianqian?
Yes, one of her sisters is the president of Tengda Group, and the other is a popular little queen in the entertainment industry. She has neither demonstrated her own strength nor let Tang Qianqian know the life she will have. No one would agree to her inexplicable request.
So Tang Lanlan took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Tang Qianqian.
"I know you have a lot of concerns in your heart, but I promise that as long as you become my sister, the life you can get will definitely be better than the current one."
"This is my business card. You should have heard of Penguin Group."
Looking at the words "Tang Lanlan, Executive Director of Tengda Group" on the business card, Tang Qianqian's expression couldn't help but change slightly.
Of course she knew Penguin Group. It should be said that most Chinese people knew this company. As the largest Internet company in China and even in the world, it encompasses half of the domestic online business. Although Tang Youyou's Tengda Group has achieved quite good results in recent years relying on the two-dimensional open world mobile games, it is still a small force in front of the Penguin Group.
To give a simple and easy-to-understand example, the Penguin Platform, an online social software used by almost all Chinese people, is the flagship product of the Penguin Group. This shows how large its scale is.
Their achievements in the gaming field are equally astounding. Although most of their games are not very well made, relying on strong financial resources and a breeding manufacturing model, the Penguin Group still produces high-quality games that are worthy of going global in a very stable state, and has recently made considerable achievements in the 3A field.
For a hardcore gamer like Tang Qianqian, the Penguin Group is a household name.
She had thought that Tang Lanlan's identity must be complicated, but she had never thought that she was so complicated!
Seeing the moved expression on Tang Qianqian's face, hope rose in Tang Lanlan's heart.
Sure enough, no one can resist the offensive of money...
but……
"I refuse." Tang Qianqian shook her head.
Her face regained its composure, but a hint of struggle flashed in her eyes.
"You're right, you can indeed give me a better life." She bit her lower lip and continued, "But money is not a factor that affects my decision."
"I am just an ordinary person, and I already live a richer and happier life than most people, so there is no need for me to pursue a better life."
As she spoke, the struggle in her eyes disappeared, turning into an unchangeable determination.
“I like my life now and my family.”
"So I'm sorry, but I refuse."
"At the same time, there is something I'm curious about. I wonder if you can answer it for me."
Tang Lanlan fell silent upon hearing this. Even her most attractive part had been rejected. What else could she offer?
For no apparent reason, she felt somewhat powerless.
"Just tell me. If it doesn't involve privacy, I will answer you." She said a little depressed.
"Why me?" Tang Qianqian finally asked the question in her heart.
In fact, Tang Lanlan's actions were so hasty that she didn't react at all.
Almost all of the responses just now were subconscious choices made in accordance with the heart.
After making her choice, she was filled with endless doubts.
why her?
"Even if I look a lot like you, there are many similar strangers and dissimilar sisters in the world. You can find someone else. Why do you suddenly want me to be your sister?"
Hearing Tang Qianqian's doubts, Tang Lanlan rubbed his temples with a headache.
In fact, she herself didn't have the answer to this question.
The moment she saw Tang Qianqian, it was as if her subconscious was telling her that this was her sister, this must be her sister.
But she doesn't have a sister at all!
She is the only daughter in the family. In that era, people were not encouraged to have second or third children like they are now. At that time, having more than one child would result in a fine and imprisonment. In addition, her parents were in poor health after giving birth to her, so they gave up the idea of having a second child.
This is something the whole family regrets to this day.
But no matter what, it is an indisputable fact that she is the only child in her family.
As for why he suddenly wanted Tang Qianqian to be his sister...
Tang Lanlan rubbed his temple and sighed, saying: "Maybe I subconsciously want a sister."
"I think if I had a sister, she would probably be your age."
"I can also have a sister to share life with and support each other, instead of being lonely like I am now..."
"Who said that? You still have me!" Shi Mixing, who had been watching the show on the side, immediately raised his hand and said dissatisfiedly, his mouth pouting so much that the soy sauce bottle could almost be hung on it. It was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with Tang Lanlan's words.
Tang Lanlan showed a helpless look and said, "Okay, okay, I'm glad I have you, otherwise I would have lived my whole life alone."
"Hehehe~" Although he knew that Tang Lanlan was just trying to fool him, Shi Mixing still laughed happily.
After comforting her best friend, Tang Lanlan looked at Tang Qianqian again.
She was not a person who liked to dwell on things. Since Tang Qianqian had rejected her, she would not continue to pester her.
"I understand what you mean. Maybe we are not destined to be together."
"But you don't have to rush to reject my business card, even if you don't want to be my sister."
"I can see that you are very confused right now."
Tang Lanlan's words made Tang Qianqian's pupils shrink slightly.
She raised her head and saw Tang Lanlan's eyes that could see through people's hearts.
"..."
"You're right. I've been really confused lately." Tang Qianqian couldn't help but smile bitterly. In the past few days, she had heard countless people say that she was confused.
But she didn't know how to not be confused. If she knew, how could she be confused?
"You look distressed." Tang said lazily, "But I think this is a very simple thing. I don't understand why you can't figure it out."
Tang Lanlan's words made Tang Qianqian raise her head in surprise, but she saw her stretch out a finger, put it on her barren chest, and spoke slowly.
"Since you can follow your inner choice and reject my conditions, then... why don't you give it a try, follow your inner choice, and do what you want to do?"
"You may think that your family will not support you." Tang Lanlan seemed to see through Tang Qianqian's heart and said without hesitation.
"But I think your family may be more than you think..."
"To love you more."
Tang Lanlan's words were like an invisible hand, instantly clearing away the fog in Tang Qianqian's heart.
