This explanation eased Lai Wenyan’s frown slightly.
At this moment, his cellphone rang again.
After Lai Wenyan left to take the call, Lai Yuanyuan followed closely into the master bedroom.
Seeing her mother touching up her makeup, she obediently waited on the side.
Ouyang Qian noticed her daughter’s great mood and said with a smile, “Happy just because you’re not eating dinner at home?”
“It’s not that.” Thinking about Tang Li marrying a man with a violent streak, she couldn’t help feeling delighted: “An evil person will meet their match. Uncle Xia’s son has mental issues; once that illegitimate daughter marries into their family, she’ll get her comeuppance!”
Ouyang Qian slammed the powder compact onto the dressing table with force.
“…” Lai Yuanyuan fell silent.
“Who told you that your Uncle Xia’s son has mental issues?”
Just as Lai Yuanyuan was about to retort, Ouyang Qian warned her, “I don’t want to hear this kind of rumor-mongering from you a second time!”
Hearing this, Lai Yuanyuan’s eyes reddened.
Seeing her daughter’s aggrieved face, Ouyang Qian sighed, stood up, and gently stroked her daughter’s cheek, her tone softening: “You are the young lady of the Lai Family, you should have your own breadth of spirit. There’s no need to forget who you are in a quarrel with riff-raff.”
“As for the riff-raff.” Ouyang Qian’s gaze slowly became firm: “They will naturally find their place.”
…
Tang Li arrived at the Xia Family before Lai Wenyan.
The servants were already waiting at the door.
Without waiting for Jiang Yuan to say more, she had already pushed the door and gotten out of the car.
Barely standing firm, her waist suddenly hurt.
“Are you alright?” the servant asked with concern.
“I’m fine.” Tang Li shook her head but caught a glimpse of a rustling bush not far away.
Then, a small figure darted out of the bushes.
In the blink of an eye, it had disappeared without a trace.
The servant lamented, “Ever since Second Young Master Song and Old Lady Song moved in next door, both Chief Xia and his wife have been shot by his toy gun. Please bear with it; I will take you to clean your dress right now.”
“That child is incredibly mischievous, only six or seven years old. Just a few days ago, he took a fishing rod and lay on a tree, and when Chief Xia was going to work, passing under the tree, he got snagged by the hook.” The servant led Tang Li inside while speaking and specifically pointed to a large pagoda tree on the side of the road: “I don’t know how he climbed up there. We’re neighbors and exchange gifts during festivals, and Chief Xia wouldn’t go off on a half-grown kid. Even if not for the sake of neighborly relations, we have to give face to Minister Song of the Ministry of Finance.”
“Minister Song?” Tang Li asked.
Fearful that Tang Li would hold a grudge after being hit, the servant spared no detail: “That is Minister Song Baiyan of the Ministry of Finance, the younger brother of the child.”
In her previous life, Tang Li’s visit to the Xia Family didn’t cause such a scene.
Therefore, she didn’t know that the Xia Family’s next-door neighbor was the Song Family.
“However, Minister Song lives alone and only comes back two or three times a week.”
Entering the villa of the Xia Family, the servant bent down and placed a pair of slippers at Tang Li’s feet: “The lady and Chief Xia are still upstairs, I will first take you to the restroom, then go upstairs to notify the lady that the guest has arrived.”
The restroom.
After the servant left, Tang Li closed the door.
She stood in front of the sink, wet the corner of a towel with water, and wiped the mud stains off the waist of her dress.
Suddenly, feeling eyes on her, Tang Li turned to look back.

Through the half-open window of the restroom, she saw a child propped up at the window sill of the villa opposite, who appeared there at some unknown time.
Having a clearer view than the fleeting glimpse earlier in front of the bush, Tang Li could now see the child’s features: perhaps tired from playing, the child’s sweat-dampened hair was a bit messy, the tender apple cheeks flushed with a hint of red, with both hands pinching a piece of beef jerky, munching while curiously gazing at her.
