Chapter 1239 1. Shall we celebrate Christmas together?
After all, fraternities and sorority are not particularly important to them.
Tang Tang shrugged. "Caroline told me about this, but her exact words... um..."
Tang Tang recalled Caroline's performance back then.
You should know that Caroline only seems warm and friendly in front of Tang Tang... When she's with other people, Caroline's words are just incredibly mean.
Tang Tang still remembers Caroline spreading her hands, rolling her eyes at Tang Tang without any regard for her image, and saying in a sarcastic tone, "Oh~ sorority~ darling, it's just a bunch of sissies getting together to do all sorts of ridiculous activities and then dissing each other for being so hypocritical, it's nauseating~~~~~"
Tang Tang covered her face. "Caroline seems to really dislike some of the people there."
Isabella, however, neither liked nor was interested in groups that required regular meetings or adherence to rules.
Edmund commented, "It fits Caroline's character perfectly."
Just as two tigers cannot share one mountain, a group can only have one leader. Caroline wouldn't be content to be subordinate to someone else, but she was too lazy to deal with all that mess.
Edmund said, "You've only been back a short time, so Caroline probably hasn't had a chance to tell you the news yet."
He looked at Tang Tang, "Caroline's father has brought home another illegitimate child, who is two or three years older than Caroline."
Tang Tang's eyes widened. "Huh?"
Edmund shrugged slightly and said in a relaxed tone, "It's said to be the product of Mr. Kensington's one-night stand more than twenty years ago."
Wow.
Tang Tang clicked her tongue, unsure what to say.
Obviously, Caroline has so many illegitimate brothers and sisters, she probably doesn't care about this newly emerged illegitimate child.
"So why did it suddenly appear now after not appearing for over twenty years?"
"Because before his death, his biological mother managed to contact Mr. Kensington, and it is said that a paternity test was conducted and confirmed."
Tang Tang suddenly realized something and looked at him, saying, "Wait, how did you know?"
Edmund said, "You forgot what I mentioned before, Theodore knows Eric, and they're building a super ski resort together."
Tang Tang blinked slowly.
Theodore?
Oh, she remembered. Theodore was Edmund's wicked cousin who put something in his dessert at the Dean's dinner party.
Eric is Caroline's older brother. When they first met, Edmund mentioned Theodore and Eric's collaboration.
Thinking of this, Tang Tang curled her lips into a smile. "If I remember correctly, Eric once said that you were Theodore's favorite little brother."
Edmund said, “Theodore is a member of Harvard’s board of trustees, but we haven’t met until today… It’s been months. He’s a very unreliable guy, always doing whatever comes to mind, and he doesn’t have any particular favorites.”
Theodore enjoys messing with Edmund simply because Edmund is always too lazy to bother with him.
"So it was Theodore who told you."
“Yes,” Edmund said, “the super ski resort he and Eric built is finished, we can go together for Christmas… Do you want to come?”
Tang Tang smiled and looked at him, "Is this an invitation?"
Edmund nodded seriously. "Yes, I want to spend Christmas with you."
Tang Tang tilted her head slightly and looked at Edmund, "But I want more..."
She hesitated for a moment, then said, "I have other family members."
Tang Xiao and the others would definitely stay with Tang Tang, and she couldn't just leave those homeless mercenaries in the villa unattended...
And those men, I wonder if they'll run away, since quite a few of them don't have families inside.
Thinking about it that way, she really does have a family to support.
Edmund looked at Tang Tang silently, a hint of grievance in his green eyes.
Tang Tang looked at him and laughed, "Don't look at me like that. Aren't you going to spend Christmas with your mother? You haven't been home in a long time either."
Edmund sighed silently, "I originally planned to take one day to go home and spend the rest of the time with you."
It's not that he doesn't care about his family, it's just that his family lives too far apart. His mother is currently engaged in some secret weapons research and development, and is so busy that she probably doesn't even want to see him.
Most importantly, while Edmund didn't object to his mother having several young lovers, he didn't really want to meet them either.
It's said that her mother has changed her lover again, and it's unknown whether she'll see him at Christmas.
His uncle's family was happy, as was his elder uncle's, so it wouldn't make much difference whether Edmund stayed or not.
After listening, Tang Tang patted him reassuringly, "It's okay, we can do it together if you want."
Edmund said quietly, "After all, I'm one of your little lovers too, so I suddenly feel the same way."
The question of how to spend Christmas is still unresolved. The two have already arrived at the classroom and found seats nearby.
Edmund didn't continue the previous topic. He lazily propped his chin up, looked at the decorations on the wall, and said, "The Christmas atmosphere has already begun."
That's right, with Christmas approaching, it seems the entire US region is starting to prepare for it. Scrolling through short videos, many are about Christmas party decorations, food preparation, and the like.
“So,” Edmund said, “would you like to go to that super ski resort? Behind it is a resort of individual villas, and it shouldn’t be too crowded. Only Theodore and Eric’s partners and the like might get invited to vacation there.”
"I can consider it," Tang Tang thought for a moment and felt it was a good idea. The ski resort was so big that releasing a group of mercenaries wouldn't cause any damage.
She became interested, "We can also do Christmas decorations."
Tang Tang has never celebrated Christmas before. In her previous life, her company was a foreign enterprise, which offered Christmas holidays. However, Tang Tang was usually too tired to care about Christmas; she would just collapse into bed during the holidays.
Not to mention the expense and effort involved in Christmas decorations. Tang Tang, who lives alone, doesn't even pay much attention to the Lunar New Year. She doesn't bother with window decorations or couplets; ordering a lavish takeout meal is already her way of treating herself to a good New Year's Eve dinner.
I've never properly celebrated Christmas in this lifetime. Last year was a whirlwind of activity, with one thing after another keeping me so busy it felt like I was going through a tribulation. Only this year have I finally laid the foundation, and it seems the pace has finally slowed down.
Tang Tang, mimicking Edmund's lazy posture, rested her chin on her hand and said thoughtfully, "You're right..."
She really should learn how to enjoy relaxation.
"I need to bring a lot of people," Tang Tang said with a slight trouble in her eyes, "and all my pets too."
"Small animals?" Edmund looked at Tang Tang. "A lot?"
