Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Are You Here to Marry That Fool? Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Are You Here to Marry That Fool? Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Discovered by Tang Li, he no longer slipped away swiftly like before.
“You’re here to marry that fool?”
The child suddenly asked her.
Tang Li walked to the window and countered, “How do you know what I’m here for?”
The boy glanced at her with his dark eyes, replying nonchalantly, “Heard it from Fatty Xia. His son often hits people; you’ll be in big trouble marrying him.”
“So, you shot at me with a gun just now to drive me away?”
The boy chewed on beef jerky and did not deny it.
At that moment, a woman from the opposite villa called out from afar, “Jingtian.”
“Coming!” The boy looked back.
Afterward, his small figure disappeared from the window.
Although she already knew Xia Zhengguo’s son had mental issues, now being reminded by the child, even Tang Li, hardened by rebirth, felt touched at this moment.
If such an unfamiliar child could feel this way, yet her own father was pushing her into a fire pit under the guise of considering her well-being.
Such consideration was overly ironic.
Exiting the restroom, Tang Li found Lai Wenyan arriving with his wife and daughter, speaking with Xia Zhengguo and his wife at the entrance.
Upon seeing Tang Li, Mrs. Xia immediately approached with a smile.
“Ah Li seems a bit shy!” She took Tang Li’s hand, making the atmosphere even more harmonious.
Tang Li slightly pursed her lips.
Indeed, she looked bashful.
However, with Lai Yuaner standing next to her, elegantly dressed, enhancing her presence, while Tang Li, wearing a white skirt stained with mud at the waist, seemed more like someone of lesser status.
As everyone seated themselves in the dining room, Xia Zhengguo instructed a servant beside him, “Call the young master down for dinner.”
“Come, Ah Li, sit here by me,” Mrs. Xia beckoned.
Tang Li obediently went over as if she hadn’t noticed the two empty seats beside her.
Shortly after, the servant came downstairs and reported that the young master didn’t want to eat.
“Don’t you see everyone is waiting just for him?” Xia Zhengguo’s face instantly darkened: “Go call him again, even if you have to tie him up, bring him down.”
Mrs. Xia stopped the servant, “I’ll go.”
Today was officially the day to look for a daughter-in-law for her son; nothing should go wrong.
“A 27-year-old still acts like a child,” Mrs. Xia said with a laugh trying to smooth things over, “You start eating, I’ll go up and check, he’s probably playing video games.”
For Tang Li, this scene was like a re-enactment.
Because it was the same in her past life.
Lai Yuaner stood up first, “It’s better if my sister and I go.”
Saying this, her apricot eyes curved into crescents: “I really like the decor of Uncle Xia’s house, I want to check out the second floor and call Xia Lang down by the way.”
Xia Zhengguo’s expression brightened, smilingly, he pointed at Lai Yuaner while speaking to Lai Wenyan, “This daughter of yours is remarkable, not only can she act, she’s a design genius.”
“Don’t praise her too much,” Lai Wenyan was also pleased, “With your compliments, her tails will wag up to the sky.”
Ouyang Qian playfully glared at her daughter, “Always messing around.”
Lai Yuaner stuck out her tongue, then circled around to Tang Li’s side.
“Let’s go call him,” Lai Yuaner grabbed Tang Li’s arm, who compliantly stood up, letting her lead the way out of the dining room.
Once on the second floor, Lai Yuaner immediately let go of Tang Li’s hand.
As if it carried a deadly virus.
Looking at her disdainful expression, Tang Li’s lips slightly curled.
In her previous life, Lai Yuaner had pulled her upstairs, and the two went to Xia Lang’s bedroom to call him for dinner.
As soon as she entered the bedroom, the door was shut from outside.
Xia Lang had severe autism, his room always had the curtains tightly drawn, and if suddenly disturbed, he would become extremely agitated, like a wild beast that had lost its rationale.
