Chapter 682: Chapter 682: Is Big Sister Planning to Find One for Herself This Time?
Tang Li heard this, turned her head to look at her, and also smiled, “What Winter Family, how come I don’t know that I’m acquainted with their heir?”
Lai Shengxia wouldn’t allow Tang Li to continue playing dumb: “When you called Dad, we were all right there. The person you wanted Dad to bail out, that should be the one who’s hot on the V-blog today, right?”
Tang Li neither admitted nor denied.
“If I didn’t have a friend who’s met Ethan/Winter in person, I wouldn’t believe that my half-sister is quite capable, even knowing the offspring of the prestigious clans in Las Vegas, and even…having a deep friendship.”
As Lai Shengxia spoke the last four words, her smile faded slightly: “You didn’t tell the family, are you afraid that the Lai Family would drag you down?”
The scene seemed like a spiteful older sister jealously questioning a younger sister who had climbed up the social ladder.
Tang Li did not respond directly: “Even if I don’t tell, haven’t you also received the news? One day when I leave the Lai Family and leave S country, wouldn’t that be exactly what you and your mother desire?”
Lai Shengxia smiled faintly: “It seems that your relationship with Ethan/Winter is indeed good.”
“Not content with matching Fu Si with Lai Yuaner, what now, planning on introducing Ethan to Lai Yuaner?” Tang Li paused for a few seconds, as she looked back at Lai Shengxia, her lips curving into a smile: “Or is it… this time big sister is looking for one for herself?”
Having said that, Tang Li did not stay any longer.
Watching Tang Li slam the guest room door shut with a bang, Lai Shengxia sneered, just someone who keeps an eye on things in Las Vegas, truly thinking she has caught the attention of a wealthy family.
Closing her room door, Lai Shengxia made a phone call to her classmate. The source of this content ɪs novelFɪre.net
She asked her to get Ethan out from the detention center.
It had not been easy for Tang Li to take the bait, but then Ethan caused a scandal by soliciting prostitution; if this continued, it was uncertain whether someone would dig up his past, and Lai Shengxia did not underestimate the power of the current internet.
At the moment, Tang Li had developed a good impression of Ethan, and it was time to strike while the iron is hot.
Once Ethan ended up in detention, getting him to take Tang Li out of the country would require more time.
Lai Shengxia’s classmate picked up the phone quickly.
Afterward, the person on the other end politely refused: “This incident has become quite major, the topic is also very provocative, the higher-ups may be watching this closely, I dare not release someone so casually.”
“It’s .” Lai Shengxia had no choice but to make her relationship with Ethan sound more profound: “He’s a good friend of mine in Las Vegas, we stay in touch regularly; it was me who asked him to come over this time. I went to the police station late at night, he told me that the woman came to him on her own, he felt dazed at the time, and by the time he sobered up, he was already at the police station.”
Beyond the words, the implication was that Ethan had been drugged and framed.
After Lai Shengxia’s classmate pondered for a moment, they spoke: “I’ll call the division handling this case and ask around. If it’s like you said, as a victim, he naturally shouldn’t be detained any longer.”
“Great.” Lai Shengxia held the cellphone with a faint smile: “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
Lai Shengxia ended up waiting for an hour or so.
As it was almost getting to dawn, she could only take the initiative to call her old classmate again.
But this time, no one answered the phone.
Lai Shengxia has always considered herself smart and could see that the other party probably didn’t want to get involved in this mess.
With no other option, she could only bring up Ethan at the breakfast table with Lai Wenyan the next day.
Learning that Tang Li had private and close interactions with the Winter Family, Lai Wenyan looked at his eldest daughter with a scrutinizing gaze: “Are you sure your sister knows someone from their family?”
