Tang Yian’s Heart (1)

Showing an expression as if she had just realized what she had done, Lu AnLing put her hand to her lips and forced a blush.

"I'm so sorry... it's just that I think It's nice to see moments like this, I didn't have these kinds of interactions with my siblings or my cousins." Lu AnLing said jovially as she internally thanked her Tang cousins for giving her such a prime opportunity to put herself in the conversation.

Hearing this, Elder Tang cocked his head and then he said, "Oh? Really? Why not? I thought all siblings and cousins acted like this."

Lu AnLing shrugged. "I didn't know about my family much before I turned 15. I lived with my dad before and it was just him and I. After when I turned 15 I went to live with my mom and by then I had two younger half-siblings and a lot of younger cousins who I never got along with. I was close to my little brother and one of my cousins but we've never actually fought before."

Hearing this, Elder Tang nodded.

"That sounds like a shame..." The man said as he thought. To him, fighting just showed how close two or more people were, mostly when they were raised together. God knew that his three children fought like cats and dogs but in the end, they loved each other very much... however, this was different from his interactions with his wife. He had never really fought with her. Deciding that every kind of love was different, he put the thought aside and then he said, "If I may ask, why did you move in with your mother at age 15?"

Hearing this, Tang Huian dropped her fork.

The sound caused everyone to turn to her, feeling like she had just committed a crime, Tang Huian said, "I'm sorry... it was an accident, please continue!"

With that said, Lu AnLing twirled her wedding ring and then she said, "Well... because I lived with my father..."

As soon as she had said this, Elder Tang awkwardly looked at Xu Shen and then he began to say, "I thought that... Mr Xu was your father."

"He is." Lu AnLing said calmly. This just caused Elder Tang to be confused but Lu AnLing didn't give him a chance to speak just yet because she said, "Uncle Shen, even If he isn't my father by blood, was and is truly an amazing father to me. I'm very thankful for him... and so, I'll always consider him as my father. "

Hearing the girls words, Xu Shen felt extremely emotional. To stop tears from falling from his eyes, he smiled proudly. Meanwhile, due to her words and the emotion it invited in Xu Shen, Tang Yian's heart felt as if it was being suffocated.

But it was when Lu Xiaoling turned to look at Xu Shen and smile at him both guiltily and softly, that Tang Yian felt his heartbreak completely.

Both Lu AnLing and Lu Xiaoling had high regards for Xu Shen, and this was when Tang Yian completely felt it.

Though, Lu AnLing wasn't done speaking. "After being with my father for many years... there was an accident and he died... or at least I thought he did..."

"Thought?" This time both Elder Tang and Elder Kang spoke.

"Yes... I found out my father is alive..." Lu AnLing said simply, as her eyes focused slightly on Tang Yian, who immediately noticed her stare. But not only hers, but Tang Huian, Tang Bingyi's And Lu Xiaoling's also.

Lu AnLing: "He doesn't remember me though..."

These words caused a strange pulsation to occur in Tang Yian's head.

Hearing this, Elder Kang and Elder Tang felt as if their grandfatherly instincts had just gotten triggered. However, they didn't get the chance to say anything, instead, Grandma Lu spoke,

"Little Ling... I never heard anything about this. What happened!? Explain now!"

With what Lu AnLing had just said, Grandma Lu felt a bit sick. How could Lu AnLing's father be alive? Both Lu Xiaoling and Lu AnLing had told the woman that he had died. What was going on!?

This conversation even piqued the interest of Grandpa Lu, who had always hated Lu AnLing's father, whoever he was, for taking his daughter away, and hurting her!

With both her grandmother and grandfather eyes on her, Lu AnLing looked to her mother and Xu Shen for help. Quickly realizing one of them had to say something, Xu Shen opened his mouth.

Right at that moment, extremely annoyed that Lu AnLing was getting all the attention, Tang Yiling, pinched Tang Luoyi under the table. Feeling this, Tang Luoyi frowned and then he did the same to her before going onto his phone and triggering his ringtone.

Seeing Tang Luoyi with his phone, Elder Tang frowned, "No phones at the table!"

"I know grandfather, sorry! I'll just answer this and then, I'll put it on silent!" Tang Luoyi said with a fake apology then he picked up his phone.

"Hey man... something you want to show me?... yeah, I'll check it. Thanks. Bye." Tang Luoyi said as if he was talking to an actual person. Due to his acting skills, it really did seem like it too, but Lu AnLing couldn't help but wonder... At first, she was grateful because it stopped her grandmothers questioning but at the same time, at that moment, Lu AnLing felt her stomach roll. Something bad was going to happen!

Looking at his phone for a second, Tang Luoyi at first acted nonchalantly and then he loosened his mouth as if he had seen the most shocking thing. And Tang Yiling who was beside him, had 'curiously' looked over and then she said,

"Oh my god!"

Hearing this, Elder Tang was interested.

"What?" Elder Tang said.

Hearing this, both Tang Yiling and Tang Luoyi looked at the old man awkwardly and then, Tang Luoyi smiled dryly and said, "It's nothing, just something stupid a friend sent!"

Lu AnLing sharpened her eyes.

"Give me the phone." Elder Tang said simply, yet commandingly.

"No... I—" Tang Luoyi started.

Completely annoyed that Tang Luoyi was resting his authority, Elder Tang screamed, "Tang Luoyi give me your phone!"

With that said, Tang Huian ripped the phone out of her son's hand and handed it to Tang Yian who handed it to Elder Tang.

The old man watched the video which was already replaying.

In the video, the man saw Tang Bingyi say something to a woman and then Lu AnLing throw one woman into another, Elder Tang's face darkened. There was more, but the rest was edited and Elder Tang could see it so, without jumping to conclusions, Elder Tang handed the phone to Tang Bingyi and then he said,

"What's the meaning of this?"

Looking at the video play, Tang Bingyi's cold face did not change or twist. All she did was hand the phone to Lu AnLing and then all she said was, "Hey, do you want to keep this for sentimental purposes?"

Lu AnLing looked at the video and then she let out a small laugh, "I can't believe someone filmed this and even had the courage to edit it."

Hearing this, Tang Luoyi and Tang Yiling froze slightly.

Tang Bingyi shrugged, "Some people really like messing with other people,"

Hearing this, Elder Tang frowned, "Are you saying this isn't you?"

This was nowhere near as bad as what had happened at Lu Xia's party and so, Tang Bingyi shrugged and then she said, "Of course it's me, Is there a problem? I didn't do anything wrong. I barely did anything and also, don't get mad at AnLing, she wanted to protect me because when I was telling one of those girls the truth, she was preparing to attack me. "

Elder Tang, who didn't know the situation, believed Tang Bingyi would never lie to him, so he didn't say anything for a small bit when he did, all he said was,

"Oh... okay."

Hearing this, Tang Luoyi and Tang Yiling's faces grew dark.
