Chapter 827
Chapter 827: Chapter 811: Toys Also Have Their Own Underworld Chapter 827: Chapter 811: Toys Also Have Their Own Underworld Ren Father went to an outside major mall with the two kids.
Wu Liangliang, being pampered at home daily, received whatever he wanted from both families, and could do whatever he wished, so all the way to the mall, he hogged Ren Father’s attention and wouldn’t let Ren Father pay any attention to Tang Xincheng.
Even though Ren Father liked Tang Xincheng, he naturally favored his own child that he had raised alone, which is why people tend to sympathize with the underdog.
With Wu Liangliang’s constitution, people couldn’t help but indulge him more and yield to him more.
But because too much indulgence had gone on for too long, Wu Liangliang became increasingly selfish, especially now with the appearance of a child younger, taller, healthier, and better-looking than him, who also competed for his grandfather’s affection.
And to him, anyone who tried to steal his grandfather was his enemy.
“Chengcheng, what would you like?”
Ren Father asked Tang Xincheng affectionately, “Whatever you want, Grandpa will buy for you.”
“Thank you, Grandpa.”
As soon as Tang Xincheng finished speaking, Wu Liangliang had already grabbed a bunch of toys.
“Grandpa, I want these,” and after saying that, he smirked at Tang Xincheng and snorted triumphantly through his nose.
“Alright, Grandpa will buy them for you.”
Ren Father was really willing to fulfill every wish of Wu Liangliang’s.
He’d buy anything without even blinking an eye.

Along the way, Ren Father’s hands were filled with purchases, yet his eyes still smiled, until he realized that he had bought everything for Wu Liangliang and not a single thing for Tang Xincheng.
His face involuntarily heated up, as Tang Xincheng stood there alone, following behind them, not asking for anything or taking any initiative.
“Chengcheng, what toy do you want?” He asked with guilt written all over his face, and his voice also carried a note of caution.
To be honest, his own bias made him feel ashamed; he wanted to be good to this grandson, but somehow, he had forgotten him, leaving him deeply ashamed of his own favoritism.
“Grandpa, I don’t want anything,” Tang Xincheng didn’t show any signs of envy or jealousy; he lacked for nothing and didn’t even play with these kinds of toys since they took too much time.
Of course, the sister was right; some people’s lives might only start at twenty, but not him.
His life had been determined from the moment he was born.
He didn’t quite understand this at first, but as the family business grew bigger, he had come to understand.
In fact, he was mistaken about something.
Some matters were only known by Tang Yuxin herself.
The birth of Tang Xincheng had all along been facilitated by her, so the destiny of her younger brother, Tang Xincheng, was something she was completely unaware of.
She worried that Tang Xincheng had been born against fate, and thus his life would be filled with hardships.
That’s why she was so strict with him.
If Tang Xincheng wanted to live well, he had to be excellent and capable enough to cope with everything the future held.
Only by fully maturing could he survive in this world.
Life was short; everyone wanted to live well and not suffer.
And to avoid that suffering, you could only rely on your own hands.
A high starting point did not guarantee success, as everyone’s destiny is different.
Tang Xincheng had a high starting point, indeed, because he had a sister who was reborn, but even though she had been reborn, his destiny was not intertwined with his sister’s—it lay in his own hands.
Therefore, as his sister, Tang Yuxin had done all that she could.
The rest was up to him.

Being sufficiently excellent was the first standard Tang Xincheng had to meet in his life.
When Ren Father heard Tang Xincheng say these words, he truly felt terrible, thinking that he had inadvertently made his grandson overthink.
Today’s children were no longer like those in the past; they watched a lot of TV and played a lot of computer games, so each was quite sly.
Could this child have overthought?
“Chengcheng, Grandpa was wrong just now.
I wasn’t attentive to you.
Don’t you like any of these toys?
How about that toy car?” He pointed to a large toy car inside the shop, asking Tang Xincheng.
“Grandpa, I really don’t want it.”
Tang Xincheng’s words left Ren Father truly powerless.
Ren Father initially thought Tang Xincheng was being petulant, like Wu Liangliang sometimes was—saying he didn’t want something but actually wanting it and getting upset if believed.
The more he said he didn’t want, the more he actually desired to buy things.
And they indulged that child’s temperament, but with Tang Xincheng, Ren Father initially couldn’t grasp his character, thinking he was like Wu Liangliang.
However, once he saw Tang Xincheng’s serious demeanor, he understood.
Tang Xincheng was not joking; not everyone likes toys, and not everyone has a disposition like Wu Liangliang’s.
Some mature early, while others remain childish, some naturally mature, while others can remain childish for a lifetime.
It can’t be said that the mature are happy, nor that the childish are foolish.
In this world, rational people are often lonely, while emotional people tend to suffer greatly.
No one can say that ignorance is bliss for a lifetime.
Like Tang Xincheng, his maturity was because he would have to face and give so much more in the future.
Wu Liangliang could afford to be a little silly because he had grandparents, he had maternal grandparents, and he had a bunch of people planning for him.
But Tang Xincheng didn’t; he grew up without doting grandparents, so he had to learn to grow up and become a qualified member of the Tang Family, not to disgrace the ancestors.
Ren Father spoke for a long time, and finally, Tang Xincheng couldn’t bear to refuse his kindness.
His sister had said that one must not refuse gifts from the elderly; sometimes saying no was like slapping their face, especially when it came to elders.
Initially, he truly didn’t want to relent, nor did he desire anything, considering it too childish, but when he recalled his sister’s words, he randomly picked the cheapest item.
Regardless of its cost or its perceived value, it was the first gift from his grandfather, and he liked it nonetheless.
Ren Father still felt uncomfortable inside, as Tang Xincheng was too sensible and even chose the smallest one.
Ren Li probably didn’t have it easy over these years, and must’ve been living tight with her finances—even her son had picked up on that frugality.
The whole ordeal was their fault for having wronged Ren Li.
Now, to add to it, their grandson didn’t seem to be faring well, which made Ren Father feel even guiltier towards Ren Li and her son.
And he felt a sudden urge to disclose the whole truth.
