“When you’re in someone else’s house, don’t be afraid to use this if you’re bullied.” Tang Xiaoge gestured with the knife. “Draw a cut on her face.”
Li Beinian watched as Tang Xiaoge withdrew the knife.
There were laces around, and the white scabbard was very delicately made.
At first glance, she had thought it was just a special-shaped ornament.
It was good to use it for self-defense.
Li Beinian took it and stroked it on the palm of her hand. “I could hang it on my phone.”
“It’s too dangerous. You should put it in your pocket.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Li Beinian looked at it. “Other people don’t know what it is.”
“True.” Tang Xiaoge watched as she hung the little ivory knife on her phone. “Then you have to be careful not to let someone take it. It’ll be a pity if you drop it. It’s the only one in the world, made exclusively for you!”
It was said in a deliberately humorous tone, but Li Beinian felt her eyes tear up. She reached out to give her a bear hug and said, “Mom, why are you treating me so well?”
“I only have one daughter. Who else can I treat well?” Tang Xiaoge tapped on her nose. “I can only blame ourselves for not giving you a better life. The Li family has money and a daughter should be rich. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have let them take you away.”
Tang Xiaoge squeezed her cheek. “You’re looking better and better. It was the right thing to send you back. In the future, our Beinian’s life will get better.”
Li Beinian pouted and almost cried out.
Holding back her tears, she sniffed and said, “You too, your life will get better and better. When I become a big star, I’ll buy you a big house.”
Tang Xiaoge laughed, but her eyes were already red. She looked at her beloved daughter and said, “Yes, Mother is waiting for you.”
Her tone was as if she was comforting an ignorant child.
Li Beinian immediately opened her hand and said, “Don’t patronize me. I’ve got a film reward already that’s 80,000 yuan!”
She found it on her phone and showed it to her. “Look!”
Tang Xiaoge saw her bank’s account notice and widened her eyes. “So much? When did you start filming? You didn’t tell me!”
“Hey, you said to make a big fortune in silence! Come, take this card, all my money for filming will come here.”
Tang Xiaoge frowned. “Why do you want to give it to me? Keep it for yourself. You won’t have to ask for money when you get married then.”
“I have money. My cheap dad gave me a black card. There are five million in it, enough for me to spend for my whole life.” Li Beinian’s eyes reddened and she sniffed. “Take it, mom. It’s not much money, but take this as me showing filial piety.”
Tang Xiaoge squeezed her face and said, “What are you crying for? You’re a big girl and you’re still crying, aren’t you ashamed?”
Li Beinian laughed out loud and stuffed it into her hands. “Take it.”
After thinking for a while, Tang Xiaoge clasped her hands and said, “I’ll save the money for you. When you need it in the future, I’ll give it back to you.”
Hearing this, guilt and regret flowed like a tide inside.
In her previous life, the 100,000 yuan that Li Haoran had given them was to break their hearts.
So much so that her parents, who had taken their heart out of themselves for her, had never been in contact with her ever since.
“Okay.” Li Beinian nodded and hugged Tang Xiaoge, feeling warm and happy.
She thanked God for giving her a chance to come back.
In this life, she would let those who bullied her taste the bitterness of her past life!
