Chapter 56: Tang Tang Gets Slapped?! Song Xiaohua’s True Colors Revealed

The slap came so quickly that not just Tang Tang, but even Tian Tian was stunned. The red handprint stood out vividly against Tang Tang’s fair skin.

Tang Tang’s mind buzzed, momentarily frozen. As the stinging pain spread, she couldn’t hold back and burst into tears.

“Stop crying! It’s so noisy!” Song Xiaohua raised her hand, ready to slap the little girl again.

This time, Tian Tian reacted quickly, pulling Tang Tang away and sternly saying, “You can’t hit people!”

Song Xiaohua sneered, “I just did! If you’ve got the guts, hit me back!”

Hearing the commotion, people from outside rushed in.

“What’s going on here?” Qin Youran asked as she stepped forward.

Tian Xiao’e hurried over and, seeing her precious daughter awake, immediately took on a protective stance like a mother hen shielding her chicks. “Xiaohua, what’s the matter?”

The moment Song Xiaohua saw her mother, she burst into tears. “Mom, when I woke up, these two little girls were spitting at me! The younger one even laughed, saying I have leukemia! I know I don’t have much time left, but how could they make fun of something like that? Waaaah…”

The livestream audience was stunned.

[What the hell? The real-life version of the guilty party filing the complaint first?”]

[Wow, this is what being a white lotus looks like!]

[Song Xiaoyu seemed nice, but her sister Song Xiaohua is such a manipulative kid! She’s only a few years old and already such a good actress!]

[Don’t be too quick to judge. I think Xiaohua’s behavior is understandable. Imagine, she’s just a kid with a serious illness, who’s under a lot of stress! Waking up to see someone spitting at her, it’s normal to be confused and react like this.]

[Whoever wrote the above comment must be a complete fool! Are your eyes for decoration? Don’t make me insult you! Did Tang Tang and Tian Tian actually spit at her? All they did was make a slight ‘puh’ sound, and it hurt Song Xiaohua’s fragile feelings?]

[Stop calling her names. Why harbor such malice toward a child? It’s just a misunderstanding, and it can be cleared up.]

[A misunderstanding? So just because she misunderstood Tang Tang, she can start slapping people? This behavior shows she’s used to throwing her weight around at home! Why don’t I slap people when I’m in a bad mood? Poor upbringing is poor upbringing, why can’t you just admit that?]

Tian Xiao’e, heartbroken, complained to Tang Tang, “Little girl, you’re part of the show’s crew, and our whole family moved out to make room for you… and now you’re cursing my daughter? She’s already sick and unlucky… The doctor said just a few days ago that if a suitable match isn’t found soon— What did she ever do to deserve this from you?”

Qin Youran turned to Tang Tang. “Tang Tang, I know you didn’t mean it. Just apologize to Xiaohua, okay?”

Tang Tang shook her head, aggrieved. “Aunt Youran, I really didn’t make fun of her!”

Tian Tian chimed in, It’s Xiaoxiao who’s in a bad mood! She slapped Tang Tang once and wanted to do it again!”

“There must be some misunderstanding,” Qin Youran tried to comfort the two sisters. “But Xiaohua is sick, and our Tang Tang is the kindest. I’m sure she’ll forgive Xiaohua, right? Think about it, if Xiaohua’s condition worsens because of this, wouldn’t that make Tang Tang very sad?”

Tang Tang, being a sensible child, felt a twinge of guilt at Qin Youran’s words. She bit her lip, looked up at her sister Tian Tian, and hesitated, “Maybe we should…”

Tian Tian, though seemingly calm, had her own sense of pride and justice. “We didn’t do anything wrong, so we won’t apologize!”

Qin Youran’s face stiffened.

[Haha, this is killing me! Qin Youran prides herself on being kind and gentle, yet she’s not as clear-headed as a child!]

[Right, why should Tang Tang be blamed? Just because someone’s sick, we have to give in to them? Tang Tang was the one slapped! It’s easy for Qin Youran to preach from her high horse!]

[Does she really think she’s morally superior? Sorry, I’m no longer a fan, but I won’t turn against her yet, out of respect.]

[I’m already infuriated this early in the morning. I want to see what Qin Youran does next. If she forces Tang Tang to apologize, I swear I’ll go after her on social media!]

In her previous life, Song Xiaohua and Tang Tang had gotten along well. When Qin Youran persuaded Xiaoyu, Tang Tang had even helped a lot. How did it come to this now, where they seemed like bitter enemies? Even Tian Tian was involved.

The crucial difference lay in the timing of events. Previously, Song Xiaoyu had informed her parents beforehand about Qin Youran and Tang Tang’s stay. With repeated reminders from Song Hui and Tian Xiao’e, Song Xiaohua had restrained herself, at least on camera, portraying a gentle, sickly girl—the classic ‘angelic sister’ persona.

But this time, Qin Youran had acted prematurely, fostering a false sense of family harmony with Song Xiaoyu, who decided to surprise her parents. Unprepared, Song Hui and Tian Xiao’e naturally couldn’t keep Song Xiaohua in check…

Under the scrutiny of countless viewers, although it was clearly Song Xiaohua’s fragile ego that led to violence, Qin Youran still thought she could smooth things over like before—a complete miscalculation.

Seeing Tian Tian’s determined expression, Tang Tang also found some courage. She looked up, her beautiful eyes shining, “Aunt Youran, I won’t apologize!”

Qin Youran took a deep breath. “Tang Tang, listen to me—”

“No need to say more,” Yan Yueqing pushed through the crowd, her voice decisive. “If Tang Tang says she won’t apologize, then she won’t. What’s there to discuss?”

These somewhat overbearing words made Tang Tang’s held-back tears flow once more. Without hesitation, she rushed into Yan Yueqing’s arms, crying pitifully, “Sister Yueqing… I didn’t…”

Yan Yueqing picked up Tang Tang with one arm and used a small handkerchief to wipe away her tears. “Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, no one will bully you.”

Qin Youran’s expression darkened. “Yueqing, you’re here. Well, this—”

“Whatever happened here is surely recorded by the cameras. If you think Tang Tang is at fault, why not check the footage?” Yan Yueqing’s calm voice carried a suppressed anger.

Anyone could see that she was upset!

Tian Xiao’e knew very well what her daughter was like, but she would never admit it. She shouted, “You even installed cameras in my daughter’s room? Are you trying to secretly film her? Is this how the show’s staff throws their weight around? And to think we gave up our house for you to stay!”

Yan Yueqing’s cold gaze swept over her.

Tian Xiao’e’s babbling stopped abruptly, as if she had seen something terrifying. Even her back felt a chill.

“It seems you’re not happy with us staying here, Sister Tian. Fine, everyone, pack up and let’s leave now.”

Tian Xiao’e was stunned!

The show paid two thousand yuan a day for rent!

If they left, who else would pay her?

Immediately, she softened her tone, “That’s… not what I meant…”
