"Why aren’t you talking?" Song Jingtian poked her elbow with his finger.
Tang Li thought she should still give it a try, even if it was her last stance: "I’m just thinking, once the police help you recover five hundred, then your WeChat wallet will have one thousand and fifty."
Song Jingtian was such a smart kid, he instantly got Tang Li’s point.
——Repaying is impossible.
He held onto the sink with both hands, looked up and said, "I have to tell Mother about getting scamd, but luckily I have an elder sister-in-law who not only helped see through the scam, but also transferred money to when she learned I lost five hundred. When Big Brother returns to the Capital, I’ll surely tell him of elder sister-in-law’s good deeds."
"..."
The word "elder sister-in-law" successfully broke Tang Li’s stubbornness.
The five hundred and fifty didn’t need to be paid back, so Song Jingtian left the bathroom.
The little guy sat by the bed and, holding that bottle of purified water, started dreaming about the future.
If early education classes were unreliable, then he’d have to teach the child himself.
Thinking about the heavy responsibilities on his shoulders, Song Jingtian let out a long sigh; he ultimately bore pressures he shouldn’t have at this age.
Tang Li didn’t know what was going on in Song Jingtian’s mind.
By the ti she finished washing her face and ca out, Song Jingtian was already watching "Tom and Jerry" with the remote in hand.
Right then, a servant also ca to inform them to go downstairs for dinner.
In the dining room, there were only Lai Wenyan and Lai Yuaner, with no sign of Ouyang Qian.
Tang Li brought Song Jingtian ho without notifying Lai Wenyan, but Lai Wenyan ca down before them and found a few more dishes on the table than usual. Upon asking the servants, he understood what happened.
Lai Yuaner couldn’t help but grip her chopsticks tightly.
Since when did the family servants start listening to Tang Li?
As for Lai Wenyan’s face, there wasn’t a hint of displeasure at Tang Li’s presumptuousness.
Clearly, in the past, Father rarely showed Tang Li a good face.
Through this comparison, Lai Yuaner finally realized, Father wasn’t as close to her as before anymore. Sitting together for als was devoid of laughter, and Mother not coming downstairs made the dining room atmosphere even heavier.
At this mont, Lai Wenyan wasn’t in good spirits.
In all his calculations, he never accounted for the fact that the real estate he and Ouyang Qian bought after their marriage had long been mortgaged to the bank by Ouyang Qian!
Ouyang Qian’s explanation was that the early incident with Ouyang Hua injured the company’s reputation, causing Tianyi’s stock value to plumt.
Several major projects Tianyi was investing in consecutively had partners withdrawing their investnts. To fill the financial void, she had to pledge personal assets for a bank loan.
Now, their couple’s joint assets are less than a million.
These years, Tianyi has been managed by Ouyang Qian; whether there’s a loss or profit, Lai Wenyan learned about it from Ouyang Qian. Now Ouyang Qian says the company is poorly managed, and even if he harbors doubts, he can’t untangle those accounts for the ti being!
Lai Wenyan hadn’t thought about gathering family funds.
However, after years of being a star, Lai Yuaner had only three hundred thousand in savings.
Compared to the one hundred million he needed, it was barely a drop in the bucket!
Ouyang Qian’s remark, ’Don’t you have a daughter who’s a star?’, though was a mocking jab, inadvertently reminded Lai Wenyan.
After surpassing Yuanyuan, Tang Li’s montum in the entertainnt industry has been excellent.
Even if Lai Wenyan is not interested in gossip news, he knows Tang Li’s film contracts haven’t stopped in the past few months.
Ouyang Qian told him, the production side of "Phoenix Concubine" offered Tang Li a salary of several million.
