Chapter 895: I, Tong Rao, Have Both Children. I Don’t Need a Daughter Like Her!

Editor: Henyee Translations

As soon as Gu Yang entered Tong Rao’s bedroom, she sensed something was amiss with the perfume Tong Rao was wearing.

The fragrance was like a slow-acting poison. While it wouldn’t cause immediate harm, repeated use would gradually irritate Tong Rao’s emotions, leading to uncontrollable outbursts and eventual madness.

Given Tong Rao’s meticulous nature, she typically verified the safety of anything she used. The fact that this perfume had gone undetected suggested that the person who gave it to her was someone she trusted deeply—perhaps a husband, child, or loyal servant.

Regardless of who the traitor was, it would be a significant blow to Tong Rao.

Gu Yang was intrigued by the unfolding drama and anticipated the chaos that would arise from this bottle of perfume. She expected it to be quite a spectacle.

“Gu Yang, if you refuse to acknowledge me as your mother today, then even if you kneel and beg in the future, I will never recognize you,” Tong Rao said with cold determination. Feeling slighted by being challenged by a junior, she issued the warning with a hint of disdain.

Gu Yang paused at the door and smiled at Tong Rao. “Then I can rest easy.”

With that, she left the room with an air of ease.

She had been concerned that Tong Rao might use their blood relationship to cause trouble, but it seemed best if Tong Rao believed otherwise.

As Gu Yang walked away, Tong Rao’s anger flared uncontrollably. Enraged, she hurled the coffee cup on the table, and it shattered with a sharp crack.

The butler swiftly appeared, carefully observing the Family Head’s mood as he cleaned up the broken pieces.

It was evident that Tong Rao had been increasingly irritable lately.

“How dare she refuse to acknowledge me!” Tong Rao’s face twisted with rage. She seized the bottle of perfume left by Gu Yang and clenched it tightly, using it as a means to channel her frustration.

The butler was taken aback. “Miss Gu Yang actually refused to acknowledge her family?”

Understanding the source of Tong Rao’s fury, the butler quickly reassured her. “Miss Gu Yang has led a comfortable life in the Gu family and is accustomed to her current status. It’s understandable that she might not want to disrupt that.”

“However,” the butler continued, “the reputation of the Gu family’s first branch has been deteriorating. It’s likely that soon, the Gu family will expel the first branch from the capital.”

“At that time, Miss Gu Yang will realize that the Tong family is her true home,” the butler said.

Hearing this, Tong Rao’s expression softened slightly, but she remained resolute. “I, Tong Rao, have my own children. I don’t need a daughter like her. Even if she returns and begs me in the future, I won’t easily acknowledge her.”

The butler sighed. “Family Head, overnight feuds between mother and daughter are rarely resolved so quickly. Miss Jiayin’s attempt on Miss Gu Yang’s life naturally led to a poor impression of the Tong family. It’s only a matter of resolving the misunderstanding in time.”

Tong Rao remained silent, her expression still cold.

She glanced at the perfume bottle Gu Yang had left on the table. “Have this bottle of perfume examined.”

Given Gu Yang’s hostility, Tong Rao felt it was prudent to be cautious.

The butler picked up the perfume bottle, noting its transparency and lack of a label. He was slightly surprised. “This doesn’t look like it was purchased commercially. Did Miss Gu Yang make it herself?”

“Probably,” Tong Rao replied. “When I investigated Gu Yang, I discovered that she had knowledge of perfume-making. She was even praised by Luo Xiangying, the master perfumer of the Luo family.”

The butler let out a sigh of relief and spoke kindly to Tong Rao. “Miss Gu Yang said she doesn’t want to acknowledge you, but she must have said that out of anger. After all, why would she personally make perfume for you otherwise?”

Tong Rao remained silent.

As the butler was about to leave, Tong Rao’s thoughts turned to what Gu Yang had said earlier. Her expression grew thoughtful, and she retrieved another bottle of perfume from the drawer. “Have this bottle checked as well,” she instructed the butler .

This bottle of perfume had been given to her by Jiayin and was from a brand she favored.

Even though she trusted her daughter, Tong Rao knew better than to let emotions cloud her judgment. As Family Head, she had to remain cautious.

Whether Gu Yang’s remarks were meant as a taunt or a warning, it was prudent to verify the contents. Checking the perfume would ensure she wasn’t caught off guard.
