Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Why are you laughing when I’m talking to you? Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Why are you laughing when I’m talking to you? Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Bastard!
These two words, Lai Wenyan almost blurted out.
But—
Rembering the matter he had discussed with Xia Zhengguo, he forcefully held them back.
Lai Wenyan took a deep silent breath, trying to appear calm and collected: “Yuanyuan is destined to be an actor; without guidance from a professional teacher, attending university is just biding ti. I don’t expect much from you, but at the very least, make the latter half of my life as a father less worriso.”
Tang Li listened, her eyes lowered as she pressed her lips together in a smile.
Lai Wenyan didn’t care about her and naturally didn’t know that she had been winning scholarships since her freshman year.
—Even though she attended a third-rate university.
“Tomorrow night, your Uncle Xia invited us for dinner at his place. Since it’s the weekend, you don’t need to go back to school; head ho directly later.”
This was the main point Lai Wenyan wanted to make.
Tang Li replied, “I have plans tomorrow night and won’t be able to make ti.”
“What kind of plans could you possibly have?” Watching Tang Li’s indifferent, detached deanor, Lai Wenyan spoke again with undeniable decisiveness: “Even if you do have plans, you have to make ti for tomorrow night!”
Once she goes to the Xia Family, she knows better than anyone what the consequences would be.
The couple of Xia Zhengguo had clearly taken a fancy to her.
This marriage arrangent was nothing more than a transaction for Lai Wenyan to pave his own path.
As a bargaining chip in the deal, she would have no say.
At this mont, Lai Wenyan’s cellphone received a call.
Hearing Lai Yuaner’s coquettish voice asking why he hadn’t returned to the bowling alley, Lai Wenyan’s expression instantly softened: “Daddy is just about to head back. You and your mom go change clothes; we’ll et in the lounge.”
After hanging up the phone, Lai Wenyan turned his gaze back to Tang Li.
His look was aningful: “The cetery where your mother’s ashes are interred is about to undergo renovation; your aunt discussed with and plans to choose a good spot at Fengqing Garden.”
Fengqing Garden is the cetery with the best feng shui in the Capital.
Hearing this, Tang Li clenched her fists.
In her previous life, her mother’s ashes were never moved and had stayed in the old cetery in Yanjiao.
Later, that whole area of Yanjiao was rezoned for industrial use.
At that ti, having just experienced a fire accident, she laid in the hospital for a full three months.
By the ti she saw the news, the cetery had already been demolished.
Bearing the agonizing pain of her back festering, she tried to rise but fell to the ground along with her sheets, also shattering the water glass on the bedside table, scattering glass shards everywhere.
The fire had also left her hands with skin split and flesh exposed.
Her hands were tightly wrapped with gauze; the pain was unbearable even when she tried to support herself on the floor, yet she clumsily crawled to Han Jifeng’s feet, begging him to help retrieve her mother’s ashes.
But what she finally received was a pile of ceramic shards caked with mud.
Tang Yin’s ashes had long been scattered by the wind, washed away by the rain, and rged with the soil.
Rembering all this, Tang Li slowly smiled.
Lai Wenyan scolded her: “I’m talking to you; what are you smiling about?”
Without answering, Tang Li said, her tone light and indifferent: “I won’t return to the Lai Family. I’ll go for dinner at the Xia Family tomorrow night; have the car pick up from school then.”
Having said that, she strode away.
Having walked a few steps, Tang Li suddenly rembered sothing and turned back: “I don’t have any suitable clothes. If you don’t want to embarrass you, it’s best to prepare them for .”
Lai Wenyan’s face turned an ashen blue with anger from her disrespectful attitude.
—Bastard!
Tang Li had just exited the underground parking lot when her steps slowed.
Standing by the roadside, she clutched her faintly aching abdon, her lips nearly translucent.
