Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Mr. Song Arrives Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Mr. Song Arrives Lai Yuaner’s face still bore traces of tears as she nearly collapsed, shrieking, “I didn’t… It was her who pushed me in, she wouldn’t let me out!”
Tang Li looked at her calmly and countered, “I wouldn’t let you out, and you just couldn’t leave?”
“You’re not a toddler who just learned to toddle, the door wasn’t locked from the outside. Besides, it was you who told me you needed to go to the bathroom and asked me to go downstairs first. You said you could call the Xia Family brother for dinner by yourself.”
Lai Yuaner’s gaze flickered, her complexion growing even paler.
She couldn’t say that she originally had intended to trap Tang Li in the room, but ended up falling into Tang Li’s trap instead…
“I don’t know what you and the Xia Family brother did in the room. Maybe you have some disagreements, or perhaps…” Tang Li paused slightly, “just like the boys and girls in love at our school, it’s normal for them to do intimate things if they like each other.”
“Enough!” Ouyang Qian suddenly interjected.
The more she said now, the more mistakes there would be!
Yuanyuan had long known about Xia Lang’s mental issues; it was absolutely impossible for her to like him.
Xia Lang was prepared for Tang Li by her…
Yuanyuan was clear-headed; how could she possibly make a foolish mistake tonight?
Tang Li, gripping the doorknob in her hand, seemed to be holding back, and then said, “This accident happened, I didn’t take good care of Yuanyuan, I am indeed responsible, it’s understandable that dad and aunt blame me.”
“She’s lying!” Lai Yuaner’s emotions spiraled out of control, “Everything she’s saying is false, she’s lying!”
Watching his own little daughter, whom he usually doted on, suffer such humiliation, and hearing her relentlessly accuse Tang Li, Lai Wenyan clenched his hand behind his back, restraining his emotions, his deep gaze fixed on Tang Li: “I’ll ask you once more, did you or did you not lock your sister in this room?”
“No.” Tang Li stood straight, not dodging Lai Wenyan’s gaze, “No matter how many times you ask, my answer remains the same.”
Her face, illuminated by the light, lost all color.
But it wasn’t because of guilt or fear; it was due to the stubbornness that persisted despite the accusations from everyone.
“I can prove she’s not lying.” A childish voice suddenly interrupted.
Song Jingtian, leading his Corgi with one hand, extended the other with his round fingertip pointing first at Lai Yuaner lying in Ouyang Qian’s arms, then turned to side and pointed at Tang Li: “It was that one who wasn’t dressed that chased her out of the room and then she shut the door herself. I even saw her wait outside for a while.”
An eyewitness appeared, and it seemed a conclusion to the matter was imminent.
Lai Yuaner felt as if the world was spinning, “He’s lying! The kid is lying!”
“Why would I lie!” Song Jingtian retorted, darting behind Tang Li for cover, peeking out with his shiny dark eyes, “I don’t even know you people, me and my Tiger Whip saw it, look—”
As he spoke, he pointed to an open window in the corridor, “Saw it from across there.”
The Corgi barked in cue.
“They’re in it together.” Lai Yuaner’s eyes, red from crying, exclaimed, “They’re colluding to frame me!”
Just then, another steady voice came from outside, “My little brother’s mischief has caused considerable trouble for Chief Xia without invitation.”
The familiar voice made Tang Li turn around.
Down the hall, the man removing his gloves and approaching, if not Song Baiyan then who?
He was dressed in casual homewear, standing tall at over one-eighty, his presence all the more imposing. The cotton gloves were specked with dirt and leaves, as if he had just been tending to the plants.
