Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Can I Take Her Home? Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Can I Take Her Home? Song Baiyan and Xia Zhengguo exchanged pleasantries but didn’t stay long at the Xia Family residence.
He came out to find Song Jingtian, and now that he had found him, and with an unspeakable incident happening at the Xia Family, Song Baiyan, who had lived for over thirty years, also understood the principle of avoiding suspicion when issues arise.
Xia Zhengguo intended to escort Song Baiyan out, but Song Baiyan declined: “It’s just next door, merely a door away, there’s no need for the extra trouble.”
After saying that, Song Baiyan looked at Song Jingtian, who was standing by the door holding a dog.
Knowing they were about to leave, Song Jingtian tugged at Tang Li again: “Do you want to come to my house? My place is much better than Fatty Xia’s, and no one will bully you there.”
He thought he had spoken in a very low voice, but in fact, everyone heard it.
Before Tang Li could respond, Lai Wenyan already spoke up: “Ah Li still has some things to do here, so we won’t bother coming over.”
“What things?” Song Jingtian tilted his head and scrutinized Lai Wenyan with a look that was neither pleasant nor approving: “Are you saying that once my big brother and I leave, you’ll gang up and hit her?”
Lai Wenyan’s expression became slightly awkward, then he assured: “As long as Ah Li doesn’t make any mistakes, no one has the right to lay a hand on her.”
If she did get hit, it must be because she was at fault!
Tang Li couldn’t help but smirk silently to herself.
Even though Lai Wenyan didn’t articulate it, his complexion gave Tang Li a clear idea.
After all, in his eyes, his little daughter was so innocent and bright, she certainly wouldn’t do anything disgraceful!
Tang Li had no doubt that Lai Wenyan could refrain from hitting her in the Xia Family home, but once out of the Xia’s door, he might slap her hard in reverse.
Suddenly, a warm sensation came from her left hand.
Tang Li came to her senses and realized that the child had taken her hand.
The palm of the child was sweaty, soft, and warm, giving her a hint of warmth.
“Big brother.” The child looked up at Song Baiyan and asked, “Can I take her back home with me?”
At that moment, Ji Ming appeared upstairs.
Ji Ming walked to Song Baiyan’s side and whispered, “Sir, you’ve received a phone call, it seems urgent.”
The atmosphere suddenly turned solemn.
Before turning to leave, Song Baiyan’s gentle gaze fell on Song Jingtian: “If you’d like to invite someone over as a guest, you need to seek the guest’s own consent.” Then he instructed Ji Ming, “Take Jingtian home later.”
Song Jingtian understood his big brother’s meaning; after Song Baiyan headed downstairs, he still clutched Tang Li’s hand tightly, then aggressively said to Lai Wenyan: “My big brother said it’s up to the guest to agree to come to our house; if you talk too much, I’ll ask my big brother to arrest all of you!”
After speaking, he didn’t forget to make a fierce face by baring his teeth.
Tang Li ignored Lai Wenyan’s sullen face and let the child pull her downstairs.
Once they left the Xia Family, Song Jingtian let go of her hand.
“Alright, you’re safe now.”
Seeing the child breathe a sigh of relief confidently, Tang Li couldn’t help but smile and nodded in agreement: “Yes, so thank you.”
Song Jingtian put his hands behind his back, puffed out his little belly, and haughtily glanced at her: “Even though you’ve left, your dad is still awful…”
A cough came from behind them.
Song Jingtian turned around to see Ji Ming with a fist to his mouth. He immediately remembered his brother’s usual teachings and smartly smoothed things over: “I mean, your dad is too biased. If you go back home now, he surely hasn’t calmed down yet and will look for trouble with you again.”
