Chapter 627: Chapter 627: When Breaking Character Backfires
The last three words, Tang Li said with particular clarity.
Whether in her past life or this one, the name Lai Yuaner called her for many years, she now returns unchanged.
As expected, Lai Shengxia’s expression turned sour immediately.
“Auntie and dad’s divorce seems to be something that elder sister is not unaware of.”
Tang Li continued, “Everything has its order, even though my mother is no longer here, you can’t bully a deceased person; her marriage with dad was officially recorded.”
Upon hearing this, Lai Shengxia’s fingers tensed slightly.
Tang Li stepped back, her lips still curved in a smile, “Elder sister need not remind me repeatedly, when I first came to the Lai Family, it was indeed auntie who took care of me. At that time, my relationship with dad was distant, auntie took care of everything for me, Yuanyuan felt that auntie was biased and often troubled me… it’s all in the past, I will get along well with the family from now on.”
Hearing the blatant lies Tang Li spoke, a smile also appeared on Lai Shengxia’s lips, but it was a smile of extreme anger.
This timid illegitimate daughter, how dare she—
“Also,” Tang Li walked a few steps toward the restroom, suddenly thought of something, turned her head back, and with a curved brow and eye: “If I were elder sister, I wouldn’t break up with Brother Qin.”
“This kind of breaking character thing, in my view, is too much of a good thing.”
Enjoying the expression on Lai Shengxia’s face, Tang Li continued, “Being too confident in oneself is not a good thing, but now, elder sister should firmly grasp onto Han Jifeng, really grasp on tightly, I’m afraid elder sister might find it hard to find a better match if she misses him.”
The restroom door clicked shut.
Lai Shengxia stood in the corridor, her emotions difficult to calm for a long time; returning to her bedroom, she swept the objects on the dressing table into a drawer!
A ruckus ensued, accompanied by the ringing of her cellphone.
On the cellphone, the landline number of the Qin Family was displayed.
Lai Shengxia picked it up, her tone already restored to normal, “Aunt, you were looking for me?”
On the other end of the call, Qin Yueru’s voice did not hide her worry, “It’s Jifeng, he was in a car accident, the hospital called me just now, said he had a stomach illness while driving and rear-ended another car.”
“Don’t worry, which hospital is it? I’ll come right now.”
As she spoke, she got up and headed to the cloakroom.
Qin Yueru reported the hospital address, then added, “Besides you, I don’t know who else to call. I haven’t been feeling well these days, the housekeeper has already gone home after her shift, and I can’t drive. Even calling a car to go downstairs is inconvenient.”
“I’ll come pick you up first.”
Lai Shengxia reassured, “Since the doctor says Jifeng is not in serious condition, there must be nothing wrong, I’ll change clothes and leave.”
After giving Tang Li a shower, she happened to see Lai Shengxia just closing the room door preparing to go downstairs.
Lai Shengxia’s makeup was even more delicate, she was wearing a new summer long dress from Givenchy. Ouyang Qian was just coming upstairs, upon hearing about Han Jifeng’s minor car accident, she urged Lai Shengxia to rush to the hospital, “Taking this opportunity, you should have a good talk with Jifeng.”
Tang Li ignored the mother and daughter and went directly back to the guest room.
On the nightstand, her cellphone had missed calls.
It was from Song Baiyan.
Even though she’s now officially in a relationship, she still wants to take the initiative in this relationship; missing a call from Song Baiyan was indeed rare.
It was answered after just a few rings.
Holding the cellphone, Tang Li said first, “Actually, you didn’t have to call me, I was planning to look for you later, I definitely wouldn’t forget.”
