Chapter 618 Envy
I wasn’t angry. I circled around her in a good-natured manner. “Tong Yan, thank you for reminding me. Although I didn’t take it to heart, you were so kind to remind me back then. So thank you!”
My attitude was very sincere, and my words truly came from the bottom of my heart.
Tong Yan opened his eyes.
I stood a few steps away from her and looked at her with a smile. “Are you the daughter of the Tong Family or not?”
She didn’t say anything.
I looked at him. “I feel that you should be my uncle’s biological daughter, right? However, with my cousin Tong Zhuo’s personality, you and your mother wouldn’t be recognized. In his eyes, you’re no better than slaves.”
Tong Yan’s pupils trembled. I knew that I had guessed correctly.
I smiled. “Do you know? When I was young, because I had Phoenix Blood, he wanted to kill me countless times. It was simply because I didn’t have the surname Tong. This was something that he couldn’t accept. Therefore, he would always think of ways to harm me. Fortunately, I had my parents and my little cousin protecting me. My little cousin almost went insane to protect me. He even had me stay near the toilet when he used it so I wouldn’t leave his side.”
I smiled at Tong Yan.
Tong Yan looked at me, unable to hide her shock.
I looked into her eyes. “How many children like you do my eldest uncle have?”
Tong Yan looked at me and said quietly, “I know four others like me. I don’t know about the rest.”
I nodded. “What an economical way of dealing with things.”
I changed the topic and asked her, “Is Ma Ji Here?”
Tong Yan paused.
I sighed. “After what she did to you, do you still want to work for her? I’m not trying to change your mind. I’m just saying that your life can be better if you leave her. You can still breathe the fresh air outside. Of course, if you’re willing to die for her, then I’ll be glad to fulfill that wish too.”
I said with a bit of waning interest. “The Nanxing that you met when you were Banxia was not the real me. Tong Yan, you actually don’t know me.”
Tong Yan looked at me. “Nanxing, you don’t know the Tong family either.”
I looked at her and finally nodded. “I think you’re right. I don’t know the Tong family, but you know them better. What do you think? Are you willing to help me lure them out? But I have no idea if you’d work as bait or not.”
Tong Yan smiled wryly. “Nanxing, you’ve been spoiled by Master Si and don’t know the suffering of the human world. Do you think that you’ve suffered all those years on the island? Let me tell you. Those are the ultimate happiness in my eyes. “You’ll never understand how terrified you feel when someone treats your life as an ant. I hope that in my next life, I’ll have the Pheonix Blood and become the real Princess of the Tong family. You won’t understand this because you’re born higher than the rest of us. You only have pity for us.”
There were faint tears in Tong Yan’s eyes. “Nanxing, you don’t know how lucky you are.”
I really didn’t know what to say about her. “With the Phoenix Blood, you’d become the Princess of the Tong Family? You’ve seen for yourself how I’ve lived on the island for more than three years. Do you think I was a princess?”
Tong Yan suddenly became agitated. “So you have your blood drawn. Apart from that, didn’t Ma Ji treat you well? You always had the best of everything! Yes, she did poison you, but the poison didn’t bring you any pain. She just didn’t want you to remember anything from the past.”
