Chapter 1164: Tong Wan and Tong Rao

Editor: Henyee Translations

Yan Xi had initially planned to return to her room with the book and read it at her own pace. However, when she overheard the security guard’s report, her experience in the entertainment industry alerted her to the scent of gossip.

She settled into a corner, pretending to read.

Tong Rao ignored her and instead focused on Tong Wan, who was entering slowly. In a strange tone, she remarked, “My sister, what brings a busy person like you to my humble home?”

Yan Xi stole a glance at Tong Wan. This was her first time seeing her in person.

Though she and Tong Rao were twins with similar features, they embodied two extremes: one gentle and generous, the other cold and domineering.

Tong Wan placed the court’s verdict regarding Qin Shuzhen on the table for Tong Rao to see. “I’m sorry. I implicated you back then.”

Regardless of the circumstances, Tong Rao wouldn’t have faced such a calamity if it hadn’t been for Qin Shuzhen’s actions against her.

Hearing Tong Wan’s apology, Tong Rao was momentarily taken aback.

That incident had left her feeling humiliated and enraged. Afterward, she had thrown that dirty man to the crocodiles, but for days following, she scrubbed her skin with alcohol and disinfectant.

At night, she was haunted by nightmares, often recalling the stench of that man. This trauma led to sleep disturbances, and her temper became increasingly erratic.

At that time, Tong Rao harbored intense hatred for her twin sister, Tong Wan. When she learned that Tong Wan’s relationship with Xiao Dingkun garnered admiration in the capital’s wealthy circles, her fury only grew. After successfully becoming the Family Head, she expelled Tong Wan from the Tong family.

In her bitterness, she thought about how Tong Wan had caused her such humiliation while still managing to be happy and blissful. She wanted to see if the Xiao family would accept someone like Tong Wan, who lacked a solid family background and held a grudge against the head of the Tong family. Her intention was to force Tong Wan to return, begging for forgiveness.

Then came the news of Tong Wan’s accident and subsequent coma.

Tong Rao’s anger was doused like a bucket of cold water. As she calmed down, she noticed many suspicious details. However, with Tong Wan now in a vegetative state, there was no way to verify anything.

As time passed, Tong Rao took control of the Tong family and worked diligently to develop its interests. The traumas of her past faded into mere eyesores in her mind. She was now the Family Head of the Tong family, the only female leader among the Four Great Clans and Eight Great Clans. How could she be defeated by something so trivial?

When she later discovered that Tong Wan had awakened, she was taken aback.

In that moment, it felt as if she had seen a ghost.

Even if the trauma of her youth wasn’t directly caused by Tong Wan, it was undoubtedly linked to her. It was because of her.

Yet, Tong Wan was so focused on finding her daughter that she seemed to forget about her younger sister.

Only later did she intentionally acknowledge Gu Yang as her daughter, prompting Tong Wan to finally remember her.

Now, hearing Tong Wan’s apology, Tong Rao felt a sense of relief, even though she hadn’t yet seen what Tong Wan had handed over.

However, as she read the court’s verdict, her expression darkened.

She shot Tong Wan a mocking glance. “Sister, you really have a poor eye for friends.”

Tong Rao recalled that Qin Shuzhen had been Tong Wan’s best friend since childhood, even closer to her than Tong Rao had been.

Tong Wan smiled bitterly. “I admit my taste is terrible. I bear some responsibility for what happened back then, so it’s only right that you blame me.”

Tong Rao snorted and continued reading quickly. As she reached the end of the verdict, her eyes narrowed, and she sneered, “The death penalty? She’s really getting off easy.”
