The pain in my body seemed to disappear at that moment, leaving only the anger in my heart that clouded my mind.

"Tang Youyou, do you want to rebel?!" she shouted harshly.

"Rebellion?" Tang Youyou's eyes were red and bloodshot.

She didn't know what her emotion was at the moment. In fact, she had already arrived at the entrance of the mall when Tang Li noticed the trace of the human traffickers. However, before her car stopped, Tang Li chased the human traffickers into the alley.

As she watched Tang Li's back disappear, she suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of fear in her heart. She was suddenly so scared that her whole body was shaking, as if Tang Li was going to disappear from her world again in the next moment, and everything she had experienced before was just a pipe dream.

She was afraid that what she would see was Tang Li's pale face, broken body, and lifeless eyes. She was afraid that when she woke up from the dream, Tang Li would still be Tang Li, and Tang Li was just an illusion, her obsession that was destined to end in tragedy.

She got out of the car like crazy and rushed into the alley without even closing the door.

Even people who come here to shop frequently may not be able to navigate the shadows hidden under the bustling city. So she could only run around like a headless fly, feeling increasingly anxious, until she vaguely heard a conversation.

That familiar, gentle voice was a little weak at this moment, and it was difficult to hear what was in it, but it was still stubborn.

The man's voice was then heard, and it was unusually clear in the quiet alley, filled with obscene words.

So that voice instantly ignited the anxiety that Tang Youyou had suppressed in her heart. She rushed around the corner and saw Tang Li leaning against the wall with wounds all over her body, with a wretched man in front of her who was eager to try.

She was extremely angry and punched the wretched man in the face, as if she wanted the disgusting existence to disappear completely.

But the anger in her heart did not dissipate. Instead, it grew more and more intense in fear, until she saw Tang Li's indifferent expression and heard her nonchalant tone, and she could no longer control herself.

Why can it be so indifferent?

Why can you be so indifferent?

Her body suddenly seemed to be unable to control itself at this moment. When she came to her senses again, she had already slapped Tang Li's pretty face.

She slapped the person who raised her and whom she once respected so much, and it was like a knife stabbing into her heart.

“Tang Li!” She suppressed the pain in her heart, gritted her teeth, lifted Tang Li up, pressed her against the wall, and said viciously: “Why can you be so selfish?!”

"Do you think you're so cool? You stand up for someone you've never even seen his face, and you think you're a hero?!"

"Yes, you are going to be a hero. You saved a child, but what about you?"

"Have you ever thought about yourself? You are just a defenseless woman now! Have you ever thought about what you would become if no one came to rescue you?!"

"I……"

Tang Li was stunned by Tang Youyou's yelling and was a little slow to react. She was about to explain that she actually wanted to trade injuries. Although she would go to the hospital, the other party would not be much better off. Moreover, they shared the same location with Su Wenya, so the girl would soon bring security guards over and there was a high probability that nothing would happen.

But before she could finish her explanation, Tang Youyou's next words made her swallow all her words.

"Have you ever thought about me?"

Tang Youyou in front of him was still furious, but hidden beneath that anger was a tsunami-like fear.

She was trembling all over, her eyes were red and swollen, and a misty mist was brewing.

Tang Li had never seen Tang Youyou with this expression before. Neither the filial and obedient Tang Youyou had ever had this expression, nor had the domineering and self-centered President Tang.

She suddenly realized that maybe she had done something wrong.

"I……"

"I know you never thought about me. It's like this now and it was like this before." Tang Youyou lowered her head, her thick eyelashes cast a shadow, hiding her emotions.

"Didn't you always wonder why I didn't go home? Now I'll tell you the reason - I hate you, I hate your self-righteousness, I hate your self-love, I hate your selfless dedication, I hate your gentleness and consideration."

I hate that you only ever express these emotions to others, and I can only follow behind you and watch you become someone else's hope.

"That bastard, what is there that is worth your sacrifice? Even if she might get hurt or die?" She pointed at the little girl who was tightly held in Tang Li's arms and asked with a ferocious face.

"What good will it bring to you if you save her family? Will someone give you money? Or will someone give you a certificate? Nothing! You will only get a fleeting thank you, and the hurt you suffer will still follow you for the rest of your life!"

"Her family was saved from being broken up, but what about yours? Don't you have any family? Or do you think that I am just your adopted child, so it doesn't matter if I'm lost, just like you don't care if you are hurt by that man?"

"Or do you think you are a man? Even if I force myself on you and make you cry, you can just treat it as a dog bite afterwards?!"

"Do you really not care? Tang Li, tell me!"

054.Something has to be done

"Of course I don't care."

Looking at Tang Youyou's ferocious face, Tang Li suddenly calmed down. She gently held Tang Youyou's hand, which was tightly holding her collar, as if she was trying to calm her child's emotions.

"When I suddenly realized that I was no longer the nearly 1.9-meter-tall man, I felt fear in my heart. I was afraid of the man who was stronger than me in both physical strength and endurance, and I was afraid of the situation I would face next. I felt my own vulnerability."

"I can't bear to leave you, and I can't bear to leave the life that I haven't lived enough."

"Then why..." Tang Youyou felt very confused.

"But." Tang Li interrupted her and continued, "No matter who you are, there are things you are reluctant to give up, things you cherish, and things you want to protect. Should everyone be cautious and watch from the sidelines?"

"Scams, blackmail, slander, this society has indeed been attacking people's kindness, so it is understandable to stand by and watch, but I don't want you to think that my standing up is not worth it."

"Because no matter if you are weak or not, if you are afraid or not, if it is worth it or not, someone has to do it."

"And I hope to be that person." Tang Li said gently, as if she was telling a child a truth that has been passed down for thousands of years: "Youyou, do you remember when you were eight years old? At that time, our whole family was squeezed into a small two-bedroom, one-living room house next to the market, and you and Keke made a big joke."

Tang Youyou was stunned for a moment, and past memories gradually emerged.

That was two years after she was adopted by Tang Li and brought home. She and Tang Keke had become familiar with life outside the orphanage and had gotten used to the man who went out early and came back late to support them. The three sisters lived in a small house, and a true sisterhood naturally developed as they spent time together day and night.

As the oldest girl in the family, she directly took over the responsibilities of the eldest sister.

Jinling at that time was not as modern as it is now. The market was bustling with people coming and going, and the personnel composition was complex, with all kinds of people. So Tang Li often reminded them not to talk to strangers, let alone go with strangers, and also asked her to pay attention to protecting her sister.

She had just started primary school at the time and was also ignorant, but she engraved Tang Li's words deeply in her mind.

Later one day, when she came home from school, she saw Tang Keke and Tang Qianqian playing outside. A person she had never seen before walked up to Tang Qianqian with a smile on his face, hugged her in his arms, and handed her a lollipop.

At that time, Tang Keke was turning around to greet her and didn't notice that her sister was already in the arms of someone else.

She had forgotten how she felt at the time, she just felt a warm current rushing to her brain, completely forgetting that she was only eight years old and her height was not even up to the man's waist.

She just subconsciously threw away her schoolbag and rushed straight towards the man, snatching Tang Qianqian from his arms.

Tang Keke then realized something was wrong and quickly stood in front of her and Tang Qianqian.

At that time, Tang Qianqian's crying attracted the attention of many people in the market. They whispered to each other and looked at them with surprise and a hint of teasing.

Later she found out that the man who picked up Tang Qianqian was a manager of the market. He had good relationships with many people in the market, and Tang Li's job in the market was also thanks to his introduction.

When I picked up Tang Qianqian at that time, it was just like picking up a neighbor's child to play with.

For a long time afterwards, her and Tang Keke's intense reactions became the subject of conversation among the uncles and aunts in the market. Whenever Tang Li took her out, she would be teased by those people.

That seemingly mild teasing was quite terrifying for a child who had just developed a sense of shame, and she felt extremely ashamed at the time.

But she didn't feel any regret for what she had done.

Because she knew very well that if the other party had no ill intentions, she would just be teased for a few days by being accused of judging others by her own standards; but if the other party was a real human trafficker and she did not react at all and just watched Tang Qianqian being taken away, then what would be left for her would be a lifelong regret that she would never be able to get rid of.

"I told you at that time that you did the right thing. They laughed at you only because the sorrow did not befall them." Tang Li said with a firm and gentle look in her eyes.

"I have never regretted adopting you three sisters. I am an orphan and have been deprived of a lot of emotions since I was a child. It was you who made up for those emotions for me and allowed me to maintain a heart that yearns for light after walking through the shadows of society."

“So I’m trying to be a role model for you, too.”

"You have taught me to always be kind to the world, and that is why you have always treated me as your parent. If I lose my persistence as a human being, will I still be the Tang Li you love?"

She said again seriously: "Youyou, there are some things that someone has to do."

"If I am afraid of death and stand by and watch coldly because I have lived a new life or become a woman, then I would rather lie in the morgue than see myself decaying."

"At least the one who died was the Tang Li you still admired."

……

Tang Youyou fell silent. She knew she couldn't refute Tang Li because she had been teaching her from the beginning to the end.

Even in the most difficult times, Tang Li never complained about social injustice and life misfortunes. She was always full of kindness and warmth, as if she was always working towards a better future.

She always makes people forget that she is actually the truly miserable person who has never truly felt the love of family, has struggled to survive alone in a chaotic society, and has endured countless beatings and tortures from reality.

So she is the light of the three Tang sisters, their hope, and the beauty they yearn for.

Tang Youyou suddenly squatted down, hugging her knees with her hands.

"Eh--"

Tang Li panicked immediately. Although she felt that her words were indeed quite sentimental, Tang Youyou wouldn't cry, right?

What she hated most was seeing her own children cry in front of her. Every time she cried, she felt like she had done something wrong and her heart was immediately filled with guilt.

"Youyou, don't cry!"

"Why are you crying?" Tang Youyou asked doubtfully, "I just saw that you looked half-crippled, so I planned to carry you out."

what--

Damn it, Tang Li, I hate your self-conceit!

Tang Li pursed her lips. Only then did she realize that her whole body seemed to be falling apart. The pain rushed straight to her head and almost made her faint.

She had no intention of showing off in front of her own child. She handed the unconscious child to Tang Youyou and prepared to lie on the back that was not broad but very solid.

Then Su Wenya arrived late with the security guards.

"Sister Xiao Tang! I'm here to save you. Are you okay?"

Su Wenya rushed into the alley first with a riot baton in hand, and was almost tripped by the wretched man who fell at her feet.

As soon as she looked up, she met the eyes of Tang Youyou, who was holding the child in her arms and carrying Tang Li on her back.

"Tang Youyou?"

"Su Wenya?"

The lesbian circle in Jinling is not that big to begin with, and those who are daughters of wealthy families are even more common.

This time we really met each other.

055. I always feel like someone is taking advantage of me

Su Wenya looked at Tang Youyou, then glanced at Tang Li on her back, who had a calm expression and showed no resistance at all, and she inexplicably felt an ominous premonition in her heart.

Her relationship with Tang Youyou wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. They only knew of each other's existence in the lesbian circle.

The key point is that Tang Youyou's reputation in the circle is too great.

Unlike other rich girls who rely on their parents' connections to enter the circle, Tang Youyou is a real first-generation rich, and her assets are no less than those of their parents.

Needless to say, she has obvious advantages such as a tall figure, a curvy figure and a celebrity face.

Most importantly, Tang Youyou was well-known for her chastity and loyalty. It was said that she had never had any lesbian relationships after she came out, and she didn't even have private sex. In the lesbian circle known for promiscuity, this was like a proud white swan descending upon a flock of dirty gray ducks, immediately drawing a line between herself and other lesbians.

Young, rich, handsome, loyal, overbearing to outsiders but gentle to his own people, so many advantages gathered in the same person, making Tang Youyou like a perfect old top who has fallen from heaven to the mortal world.

Her appearance was like a bullet that pierced the hearts of those little lesbians in the lesbian circle, so much so that every day there were lesbians who made high-profile confessions on the social platforms within the circle, and they wanted to directly beg Tang Youyou, Olive and the others. The scene was truly like an iron cage that could not hold a chicken made of water.

To put it bluntly, the number of women who want to win Tang Youyou's favor and become her partner can fill the entire Xinjiekou.

The reason why Su Wenya and Tang Youyou don’t have a very good relationship is very simple.

Both of them are Ts (the one who tends to be the active one in a yuri relationship).

As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain, and when two Ts fight, one of them will be injured. The two of them are similar in conditions, the only difference is that one is a loyal lover and the other is a promiscuous sea king.

In the lesbian community, promiscuity is not a negative evaluation, but rather is quite popular. After all, not everyone wants to be depended on after a night of pleasure.

Therefore, as one of the few young and wealthy iron T in the circle, Su Wenya is also favored by the majority of burn zeros.

But these two people who seem to be evenly matched are not at the same level in terms of popularity.

Whenever Su Wenya took a fancy to a girl and wanted to make friends with her, Tang Youyou would interfere, and the girl who was already bewitched by her would suddenly break away from her charm and throw herself into Tang Youyou's arms.

Then the farce would always end with Tang Youyou's gentle rejection without leaving any hope.

It feels bad to have something you cherish treated like trash by others.
