In a temporary meeting room at the corner of the first floor of the hotel, Geng Qiuqiu and the others looked at the laptop in front of them, confounded.
"What the hell? Tang Shu and that young master of the Xu Family are siblings?!"
"So, the lady in that photo is the Xu Family’s matriarch? She really does look quite a bit like Xiao Shu!"
"The eyes of these three family members are practically carved from the same mold, they look so alike when you compare them !"
"Hahaha~~ This is so satisfying. The person behind the scenes tried to drag Xiao Shu down, and now they must be infuriated, right?"
"Definitely, this twist is unbeatable."
"Hey hey wait a minute...." Geng Qiuqiu suddenly realized an issue, lowered her voice, and discussed with the other team members, "So, hasn’t President Jing not made a move yet?"
This grand opportunity for a hero to save the beauty, just missed like that?
President Jing must be feeling sick now, right?
Lin Yi and the others cryptically understood what Geng Qiuqiu was trying to say, and their expressions immediately turned strange, they wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to—it was simply too much!
Moments later, an excited Geng Qiuqiu ran out of the meeting room and bumped into Tang Shu outside.
"Xiao Shu, Xiao Shu!"
"Sister Geng, what’s wrong?"
"You’re actually from the Xu Family! Wow—You’ve kept us in the dark for so long, why would a rich and beautiful girl like you compete with us for work? That’s just so unethical!"
Yin Dong and others following behind nodded in agreement, looking at Tang Shu with a mix of intrigue, as if they were about to feast on a wealthy family.
This was quite sudden.
Although she had just learned from Lin Chuan about the trending news and had seen the Weibo post by Qianyun, to classify her as part of the Xu Family still seemed quite rash.
"To correct a mistake, I am not from the Xu Family, my surname is Tang."
Everyone was baffled, "Huh? Your surname is Tang? Isn’t that your stage name?"
This was the conclusion everyone reached after seeing Xu Qianyun’s Weibo post, and even most netizens thought the same.
However, Tang Shu shook her head, "No, my surname is Tang, and so is my dad’s. Qianyun is my half-brother from the same mother, and my mother remarried after divorcing."
She hadn’t tried to hide this fact because she felt it was something everyone would eventually find out, and secondly, their relationship had progressed rapidly, having become close friends who could talk about anything.
Tang Shu always believed her judgment of people was quite accurate.
And Geng Qiuqiu and the others didn’t disappoint her. Upon hearing this explanation, their first reaction was to frown, their happiness turning into concern.
"This is bad, everyone’s guessing that you are the Xu family heiress!"
"What if one day they find out you’re not, won’t the netizens feel like you’ve deceived them?"
"And other people who dislike you might also kick you when you’re down!"
"Darn it, the old problem’s solved, but now there’s a new one!"
Tang Shu smiled, "It’s fine, I’ll deal with it when the time comes. I never said I was from the Xu Family."
Moreover, compared to being from the Xu Family, she preferred being a Tang family member. After all, in both lifetimes her surname was Tang, whether it was Damo’s Tang Sect or the current Tang Village, both suited her tastes perfectly.
"Don’t overthink it. Rest assured, I can handle it."
"Then if you need help, remember to shout out in the group, we’ve got your back at least."
"Right, right, don’t try to shoulder it all alone."
"I know, thanks you guys."
