One-third of the film's box office, at least a million.
Tang Yiyi nodded, satisfied. "As long as it's from second brother, I'll like it regardless of its value."
This answer was too sensible.
Tang Yiyi's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of Tang Xiaomin, who stood by with a defiant expression.
She said, with her words not matching her heart, "Second brother, did you bring a gift for older sister too?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Ye found it difficult to say he hadn't bought anything for Tang Xiaomin.
After thinking for a moment, he rummaged through his suitcase and found a emerald green "bracelet." Impatiently, he placed it in front of Tang Xiaomin.
"This is yours. Don't say I didn't buy you anything."
It was as if the sun had risen in the west, for Tang Ye to have brought Tang Xiaomin a gift.
Could anyone believe it?
Tang Xiaomin took one look at the bracelet and understood.
She picked it up, looked at it again, then aimed for the trash can by the stairs and tossed it in without hesitation.
After the trash was thrown.
The entire Tang family gasped at this scene.
Especially Tang Ye, who stood up in anger on the spot.
"Tang Xiaomin, what do you mean by that!"
What did she mean? It was perfectly clear.
Tang Xiaomin's lips curved into a smile, and she said indifferently, "I'm throwing away trash."
"You!"
Tang Ye couldn't contain himself and was about to go deal with Tang Xiaomin.
Tang Yiyi quickly intervened, "Second brother, no! Sister might not like this bracelet, she didn't mean anything by it."
Tang Zhongcheng couldn't help but say, "Even if she doesn't like it, she shouldn't throw it away. What kind of behavior is that."
The entire family looked at Tang Xiaomin with disapproval.
Tang Yiyi proactively went to the trash can by the stairs and retrieved the bracelet.
"Sister, if you don't like the bracelet, I can trade you for a bracelet. My brothers have given me many bracelets, so I'll give this one to you."
Tang Yiyi's displayed magnanimity and sensibility.
It made Tang Xiaomin appear petty and unreasonable.
Tang Ye said coldly, "Yiyi, that bracelet was from me. How can you give it to Tang Xiaomin? No."
Tang Yiyi replied, "Second brother, since it was given to me, it's mine. I've decided to give it to my sister now, so please don't say anymore."
"Yiyi..."
Tang Yiyi was insistent on giving the bracelet to Tang Xiaomin.
While seemingly giving it to Tang Xiaomin, her true intention was to let second brother know how Tang Xiaomin snatched her things in the Tang family.
"Sister, here you go."
Tang Yiyi held out the gift box and offered it to Tang Xiaomin.
On the surface, it was a gift, but in reality, it was Tang Yiyi condescending to Tang Xiaomin, comforting her for not receiving a gift from second brother.
Tang Xiaomin felt disgusted watching Tang Yiyi's actions, wanting to vomit.
Without a word, she directly slapped the gift box from Tang Yiyi's hand.
*Slap!*
The box fell to the ground, and the bracelet spilled out.
The bracelet Tang Yiyi had just picked up was also knocked to the ground by Tang Xiaomin and shattered.
"Sister, why are you so..."
"Even if you don't accept my gift, you don't have to be so excessive towards me," Tang Yiyi said with a wronged tone.
It was indeed excessive.
Tang Ye strode forward and yelled at Tang Xiaomin sternly.
"Tang Xiaomin, don't go too far!"
"Don't think I don't know you've been bullying Yiyi at home. Did the Tang family bring you back just to give you airs?"
Hilarious.
They had personally brought her back, wasn't that giving her airs?
Tang Xiaomin languidly leaned back on the sofa, her defiant gaze meeting Tang Ye's, extremely arrogant.
Seeing her like this, the whole family felt a headache.
She didn't look like a wealthy young lady at all; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a female bandit.
"Heh."
Tang Xiaomin let out a scoff.
"Tang Ye, you're trying to fool me with a glass bracelet?"
Glass?
How could it be glass?
Zhang Meiyu heard this and said to Butler Wang.
"Butler Wang, check what material that is."
Butler Wang did know a thing or two. It was indeed glass.
"Madam, it is indeed glass."
This...
Tang Xiaomin continued, "Tang Ye, I, Tang Xiaomin, don't care for your gifts. You don't need to fake it and try to fool me with a piece of glass. Your actions disgust me."
The bracelet given to Tang Yiyi was worth millions.
Yet Tang Xiaomin was given a piece of glass.
This wasn't giving a gift; it was an insult!
At this moment, the entire family, except for Tang Yiyi, looked at Tang Ye with disappointment.
Tang Zhongcheng couldn't help but say, "Tang Ye, if you didn't want to give it, then don't. There's no need to do this."
Zhang Meiyu, sensing the preferential treatment within the family towards Tang Xiaomin, fell into thought and remained silent.
Tang Yu, seeing the situation turning sour, tried to smooth things over.
"Xiaomin, don't be angry. Big brother will take you shopping tomorrow for whatever you like. You can pick anything."
What Tang Xiaomin cared about was never material possessions.
What she couldn't swallow was this insult.
"No need. If I want something, I'll earn it myself. I don't need your charity."
These words sounded too distant and estranged.
Seeing that the time was approaching, the butler reminded everyone.
"It's about time, we should head to the restaurant for dinner."
Tang Yu said, "Don't just stand there, let's go."
Everyone stood up, except for Tang Xiaomin, who remained seated.
Zhang Meiyu, seeing this, personally called out to her, "Alright, Tang Ye was wrong today. Don't argue with him anymore. Get ready, and let's go to the hotel for dinner."
At this moment, Tang Yu and Tang Zhongcheng were also waiting for Tang Xiaomin.
Tang Yiyi, seeing everyone like this, also stood with them, playing along.
As for Tang Ye, he left with a displeased look.
Tang Xiaomin looked at Tang Yiyi's smug expression and sneered coldly.
"You all go ahead. I have plans to have dinner with my adoptive parents at a restaurant, so I won't be joining you."
This...
Tang Xiaomin's mind was only on her adoptive parents. Su Dan Novel Network.
This made Tang Zhongcheng and Zhang Meiyu feel very uncomfortable.
Humans are strange creatures. Whatever belongs to them, even if they don't like it, they are unwilling to give it to others.
Zhang Meiyu said, "What kind of meal can your adoptive parents treat you to? Why don't you invite them to join us for a meal?"
From the bottom of her heart, Zhang Meiyu looked down on Tang Xiaomin's adoptive parents.
Tang Xiaomin heard this, stood up, and looked coldly at Zhang Meiyu.
"No matter how humble the meal, I grew up eating the food they made."
"You gave birth to me but didn't raise me. In my eyes, you don't even deserve to be called human."
