Li Xinya’s face turned red with anger, and she shouted with her neck stiff, "Mom and Dad, I’m just stating the facts! I saw Gu Nianyang grabbing the letter with my own eyes, and she was sneaky about it. If she didn’t have a guilty conscience, why didn’t she just use the front door? I’m clearing the house for the Li Family, and instead of praising me, you’re scolding me. You’re being unfair!"
Nianyang couldn’t help but laugh, "Xinya, I was just getting a letter, that’s all. Everyone was taking a nap, so should I have announced it with a drum and gong? Besides, the back door is simply closer to the post office, don’t overthink it."
Hmm, that does seem to make some sense.
Li Xinya hesitated for a moment, stubbornly saying, "How do I know you’re not just making excuses? Anyway, we all have phones now, why not call if there’s something? Only pen pals write letters; all the girls in my class do this!"
Li Zhenhua threw a pillow at Li Xinya,
"What’s the point of all this nonsense? Didn’t you hear me tell you to kneel down?"
Li Xinya didn’t dare defy her father and obediently kneeled down, but she still stubbornly said,
"You’re all biased towards Gu Nianyang. Clearly, I’ve found the evidence, but instead of scolding her, you’re scolding me. Who’s the real child here?"
Shang Wan was so irritated, "Li Xinya, I think you’re just getting full of yourself. Your Saozi is the benefactor of our family. Without her, your mom would be gone, and your brother, too. Instead of thanking her, why are you always looking to pick on your Saozi?"
Li Xinya mumbled with her head down, "Even if that’s true, it doesn’t justify her secretly exchanging letters with some wild man. I have no other intentions, I just disagree with her marriage to my brother!"
Li Tingyan sneered, "My wife and I are a perfect match, who are you to disagree, you little girl who doesn’t know when to stop, as if a dog ate your brain?"
Li Xinya burst into tears, "All of you are bullying me, no one is helping me. I’m like a little cabbage turning yellow in the field, why am I so miserable!"
Nianyang smiled warmly, "Xinya, you keep saying I’m exchanging letters with a pen pal. Well, if it’s not like you say, what will you do then?"
Li Xinya wiped her eyes,
"If it’s not true, I’ll apologize to you and never oppose your marriage to my brother again!"
Nianyang snapped her fingers, "Alright, that’s agreed then. Look, my letter. Open it and see for yourself."
Li Xinya snapped back to reality, and her hands were suddenly holding the letter Nianyang had taken. It was still sealed, and she blinked, "You, you’re willing to let me see the letter?"
Nianyang shrugged, "You insist I’m exchanging letters with a pen pal, so how else can I prove my innocence without letting you see the letter?"
Li Xinya pressed her lips tightly together, suddenly feeling that her actions seemed rather disgraceful. But since the arrow was already on the bowstring, she couldn’t help but release it, so she slowly opened the envelope under everyone’s gaze.
Although the Li Family didn’t say anything, they were actually very curious about what was in Nianyang’s letter, and they all craned their necks to look.
Inside the envelope was just a thin document, which mentioned Fenghua Clothing Company, the model list for the annual fashion show and the outfits that needed the designer Feng Hua’s personal signature after review.
"Feng, Feng Hua?" Li Xinya recognized the exclusive designer logo immediately, jumping up in surprise from the ground, looking incredulously at Nianyang,
"How, how do you have Feng Hua’s personal contract? What’s going on here? Surely you must have taken the wrong letter?"
