Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 13 - Can’t I Eat It?

The next day, Tang Li woke up to the sound of message notifications.

Opening her eyes to the Lai Family's guest room, the feeling of rebirth became even more real, rather than a figment of her imagination before death.

Tang Li sat up and reached for her slider cellphone.

This cellphone was bought by her mother Tang Yin, who had dragged her sick body to the store before Tang Li's 17th birthday.

Compared to other provinces and cities in S country, Diannan undoubtedly had a lower standard of living.

Especially those villages near the Myanmar and Vietnam borders.

Before Tang Li was 8 years old, Tang Yin was a nurse at a hospital in a town in Diannan.

Later, after contracting HIV from attempting to save a patient, Tang Yin was persuaded to leave the hospital. She then moved with her daughter to a remote village.

Without work, the mother and daughter lived in poverty, but they were self-sufficient.

When her mother bought her the cellphone and prepared the train ticket for her to go north, she already knew that her time was running short, so after leaving enough for Tang Li's basic living expenses, she used up all their remaining savings.

For this reason, even after returning to the Lai Family for two years, Tang Li couldn't bear to replace her old cellphone.

There were two unread text messages on her phone.

The sender was marked as "Wu Xuehan."

[Tang Li, are you coming back to school today?]

[The teacher called roll again during English class, and she said if you're absent three times, you'll fail the final exam. You've already been marked absent twice, it would be best for you to attend this Thursday's English lesson.]

Staring at Wu Xuehan's name, Tang Li felt momentarily disoriented.

Wu Xuehan, her classmate at Art College, was also the roommate sleeping on the bunk below her.

Tang Li took the college entrance exam last June.

After she returned to the Lai Family, Lai Wenyan had her enrolled in the private school that Lai Yuanyuan attended.

She was a year older than Lai Yuanyuan and should have been a grade above her.

But during her time in Diannan, as her mother's health deteriorated day by day, Tang Li had stopped attending school properly since her sophomore year. After arriving in the Capital, she couldn't keep up with the other senior students' progress.

Also, due to the oppressive life at the Lai Family, even after repeating a year, her academic performance did not improve.

In the end, Lai Wenyan stuffed her into a Tier-3 college.

The Capital Film Academy, where Lai Yuanyuan got accepted, was also across from this college.

[I'll go back to school in the morning.]

After replying to the text message, Tang Li got up to wash and get dressed.

She didn't have many clothes at the Lai Family's house.

Opening the wardrobe, her gaze fell on a greyish-blue cardigan.

Then, she put on a T-shirt, grabbed the cardigan and her cellphone, and went downstairs.

At 6:55 a.m., the rest of the Lai Family members were still not awake.

In the kitchen, the housemaid was preparing breakfast.

Tang Li walked into the dining room, saw a bacon and egg sandwich on the table, sat down right there, and just as she was about to start eating with her fork and knife, she heard a disapproving "Eh" meant to stop her.

Tang Li looked up; Aunt Wu had already set a glass of milk down on the table edge.

"The sandwich was made for the second young miss," Aunt Wu said with a slight frown, looking at Tang Li unhappily: "If the second young miss wakes up and finds her breakfast gone, who knows how she might react."

In the past, Tang Li would have put down her fork and knife without a second word upon hearing this.

But that morning, she not only did not give up the sandwich, but also calmly cut a corner off of it with her knife and fork.

Enjoying the sight of Aunt Wu's downturned mouth, the smile on Tang Li's face deepened: "Aren't I a miss in this family as well? If Lai Yuanyuan is allowed to have a sandwich, am I not allowed?"

What kind of 'miss' do you consider yourself?!
