Chapter 73 - Twin Sisters
Chapter 73: Twin Sisters
Seeing the handsome face that was rapidly magnifying in front of her, Tang Yu’s initial reaction was not surprise, but a conditioned reflex with an elbow strike as she jumped and kicked him to the ground.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk.” Cold sweat broke out on Charlot’s back as he sensibly rolled away. He knew about the little romance between Tang Ye and Michael. Michael had always liked a wild lady like Tang Ye. She would always beat him to the ground before ‘doting’ on him.
By ‘doting’, it meant that Tang Ye would sit on top of him, grab his tie, and…
He dared not continue looking at him, or else Michael would definitely kill him the next day.
Charlot returned to the car as proof that he wasn’t peeking.
However, at that moment, Tang Yu stood straight as she looked at Michael, who was lying on the ground. She did not know what to do next.
She said, “I’m so tired and dizzy. I want to throw up…”
Mccourt stood up and lovingly tidied up her bangs that had been messed up by the sea breeze. His movements were gentle and careful. No girl would have refused such a man.
“I’ll send you home.”
Tang Yu nodded.
He was so gentle and considerate! This feeling was similar to when she had been with Miles…
Michael knocked on the car window which shocked Charlot. “So fast?!”
“Drive us to Xiao Ye’s home.”
“Oh…” Charlotte thought that maybe it was too cold outside, so they decided to stay in the car instead. “I won’t look in the rearview mirror. I never do.”
“Shut your mouth.”
Ten minutes later, Michael received a phone call. The person on the phone said sternly, “Be at the West City Club in thirty minutes. If you’re late, you’ll have to bear the consequences.”
Michael frowned as he hung up the phone angrily. He held the phone tightly, taking a few deep breaths before saying to Tang Yu, “I’m sorry, Xiao Ye. I can’t accompany you again.”
“Mmm,”Tang Yu replied coldly, but deep down, she was grateful.
She thought to herself, ‘This is great. I’m saved! It’s all thanks to that phone call. Otherwise, I don’t know how much longer I could’ve stayed with him…’
It had been such a long time, yet he still hadn’t realized that she wasn’t Tang Ye. The real Tang Ye hadn’t contacted him either.
She couldn’t care less. What Tang Yu was most worried about now was that Michael was going to send her home, which was Tang Ye’s home.
If she met Tang Ye… or her mother… What should she do or say? How would she even face them?
She wasn’t ready, and didn’t even want to think about it yet.
She had not been sensible before her father brought her to London. She had said many outrageous things to her mother. Her mother must have hated her… Hated her for breaking her heart.
After getting out of the car, Tang Yu carefully stood in the shadows, making sure to check if Michael’s car had left.
Her mother and sister were still living in the same big villa. The lights were still on in the house and they were at home. This meant that they were all fine.
Tang Yu felt a sense of relief in her heart. She observed her surroundings to ensure no one was around. Then, she tiptoed against the wall.
“Tang Yu!”
The clear voice almost scared Tang Yu out of her wits. The streetlight shone against the graceful figure which was running towards her.
She wanted to run away, but her body did not budge at all.
She had not seen her sister for so many years. She wondered if her sister had changed. Was she doing well? She wanted to know. She really wanted to know.
Tang Ye ran over and hugged her tightly.
“Sis… I missed you so much… Why didn’t you contact us after so many years? Our home address and phone number haven’t changed. Don’t you know how to give us a call?”
“I… I forgot the number…”
“Liar, you’re such a talented and beautiful girl with such a good memory. How could you not remember?!”
Tang Yu was speechless. She was right. She had never forgotten. It was just that she never gathered the courage to confront her past.
“How are you doing? Is mom still ok?” Tang Yu asked softly.
“Let’s go home.” Tang Ye held onto her hand tightly.
Tang Yu tried to pull her hand back, but her sister held onto it with a firm grip. Although Tang Yu had practiced martial arts and was quite skilled, she was still far from her sister. Tang Ye had been born with great strength. Even if she carried her home now, it would not be a problem. It was impossible for her to run away.
Unable to convince her sister otherwise and with no other way of running away, Tang Yu had no choice but to obediently follow her upstairs. However, she made Tang Ye promise not to tell their mother.
Her sister was elated. She pulled her up for her to wash up. Then, they changed into comfortable pajamas and hid under the blankets together, just like they had when they were younger.
Tang Yu was very nervous, and wanted to escape several times. Her efforts were to no avail, however, as her sister pressed her down onto the bed, making her unable to move.
“Don’t worry, mom won’t come in. She has been very successful in starting her own business these past few years. She’s now a famous businesswoman. We’re living quite comfortably.”
“Why did you come back so late?”
“I went to find my boyfriend to give him a surprise, but he wasn’t even home,” Tang Ye huffed.
“Michael?”
“How did you know?”
“He was with me just now…”
