Chapter 452: Chapter 451: Infinite World Cannon Fodder: Lies Come at a Price 6

Wei Yao was about to die of anger, but he held his tongue, fearing that once he started speaking, he wouldn’t stop, and if he told even a small lie, it would be disastrous.

Sure enough, the young lady was putting on a facade of being obedient before; her temper turned out to be quite bad.

Luckily, Jingchen hadn’t married her yet; although the current situation wasn’t great either, for a moment, Wei Yao didn’t know which scenario was better.

"There’s a saying that goes, the first to flirt is despicable. If you don’t mess with my Chenchen, nothing happens," Wei Wenlan happily chimed in, feeling it’s the most satisfying day since meeting Huo Jingchen. Finally, Chenchen wouldn’t hold up this Huo surname anymore.

Bai Xingwen followed with laughter; it was his first time seeing Huo Jingchen in such a sorry state, feeling quite delighted inside.

Wei Wenlan’s remark was indeed correct; it was clearly Wei Yao who instigated, but Huo Jingchen accused Li Chen of being divisive. Isn’t this biased? Deservedly scolded.

This time, Huo Jingchen didn’t dare say more; Wei Wenlan already had quite an opinion of him, and saying something to anger people further would make it hard to face the crisis.

The living room fell silent again. Wei Yao sat there livid, not daring to interject, the atmosphere was a bit stiff.

Until there was movement at the door, everyone looked over, and two children entered. The little girl seemed around ten years old, and the little boy around eight.

"Who are they?" The little boy glanced over at Ah Chen and others, muttering.

The little girl beside him looked curiously, paying little attention: "Maybe they’re guests of Mom and Dad."

At this time, the butler following behind them said: "Second Miss, Young Master, these are sir and madam’s guests, they’ll be staying here for a day."

Following that introduction, everyone learned the children’s names, one was Tan Yao, and the other Tan Rui.

"Oh." Tan Rui replied, grabbing the backpack from the butler’s hand, "Butler, I’ll go upstairs first, you take care of the guests."

He recently bought a new game and was eager to play; these people were all adults, with the butler entertaining them.

"Dear brothers and sisters, I also need to go up and do homework, if you need anything, just instruct the butler." Tan Yao flashed a smile; she appeared to be a polite, sensible little girl, pretty and cute, leaving a good impression on people.

Until Tan Yao’s figure disappeared on the stairs, everyone withdrew their gaze. At this moment, someone noticed the butler’s face showing some worry, constantly looking outside.

Afraid to speak carelessly to avoid any mistakes, everyone present refrained from asking much.

But the butler spoke up, saying: "Actually, there’s another young lady here, named Tan Sui, I don’t know when she will return."

"The young lady has a somewhat peculiar personality; should you meet her, please bear with her."

"The young lady likes to play outside and might come back quite late." Mentioning this, the always gentle butler couldn’t help shaking his head, full of helplessness.

It stirred curiosity in many people, fortunately, they remained clear-headed without asking more.

"If only the young lady were more obedient, like the second miss, sir and madam wouldn’t be so worried," the butler spoke again, "Unfortunately, the young lady always likes to oppose sir and madam, often leaving them speechless with anger. So many things happened back then, sir and madam had their own troubles, it wasn’t deliberate. Unexpectedly, the young lady is still holding grudges, often clashing with sir and madam and hanging out with those punks outside."

"Sir and Madam have tried many ways but to no avail, now they are about to give up on the young lady, there’s really nothing else they can do."

Everyone was genuinely intrigued; Wei Wenlan, who has always loved gossip, wanted to ask but suddenly remembered the situation here and could only hold back.

Honestly, crises are everywhere.

The butler kept murmuring a lot here, wasn’t it just to pique their interest? As long as they spoke up, then getting excited, if a small lie suddenly popped out, they wouldn’t react in time.

Cunning indeed.

Can’t speak, absolutely can’t speak.

"I don’t know when the young lady will come back; hopefully, it won’t be too late." The butler’s voice gradually faded, only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Near dinnertime, the owners of this villa returned.

The male owner, Tan Ruifeng, roughly forty years old, average appearance, not fat nor thin, with a very kind demeanor.

The female owner, He Qiaomin, also about forty, appeared wealthy and graceful, very passionate toward Ah Chen and the others.

"Let them come down to eat." Tan Ruifeng said, then recalled something, asking the butler, "Has Tan Sui returned?"

The butler gently shook his head, making Tan Ruifeng’s previously good mood darken.

"Call her, and ask what’s going on. It’s already this time and she still hasn’t returned home; does she want to never come back?" Tan Ruifeng said angrily.

He Qiaomin then showed an apologetic look to Ah Chen and the others: "Please don’t mind, my eldest daughter really is a bit disobedient, often causing headaches. Ruifeng has always had a good temper; it’s just that when it comes to matters regarding the eldest daughter, he can’t help himself, he’s not directing it at you."

Under normal circumstances, guests would surely say it’s fine.

But the cautious group dared not say such things; they truly didn’t mind, but it’s safer to say less.

Facing the homeowners’ remarks, they also couldn’t not respond.

Bai Xingwen laughed and asked: "Do we wait for her to eat together later?"

He Qiaomin sighed: "Probably can’t wait, don’t know where that girl is now; how can there be reason to make guests wait? Let’s eat first, don’t worry, that girl is playing outside, she can’t be hungry, even if she is, she knows where to come back for dinner."

"Tan Sui, where are you? Don’t know we have guests today? It’s dinner time, why aren’t you back yet?" Tan Ruifeng’s voice came with anger and disappointment.

"Hurry back..." the words were cut off here.

He Qiaomin frowned: "What happened?"

"She hung up on me," Tan Ruifeng said with a bad look, "said not to mind her, she’s busy, will return after finishing, truly getting more unreasonable, it’s getting dark, what’s keeping her busy? Won’t she be out playing with those punks again? At such a young age, and already not behaving well, I really don’t know what to do, headache."

He rubbed his head, looking really angry.

"Qiao Min, isn’t the method of not giving her pocket money working?"

He Qiaomin’s expression also darkened, remembering it’s been quite a while since giving Tan Sui pocket money, lately she’s returned so late, always said she’s eaten, where did she get the money from? Couldn’t be spending those punks’ money, could she?

"Ask her when she comes back." He Qiaomin said, "Since guests are still here, let’s have dinner first."

Everyone exchanged glances, couldn’t help but grow curious about the girl named Tan Sui, but quickly suppressed it. Here they only needed to make it through one day; as long as they held back, refrained from inquiring and expressing curiosity, it should be fine.
