Chapter 46
“Shh!”
Fang Zhili hurriedly covered her mouth and smacked Li Xueqing, for she had expected better from her.
“You can’t control your temper at all. You can’t even deal with a straightforward and foolish gangster. You’re so useless!”
Li Xueqing began to tear up in grief and almost burst into tears.
Feeling an immense heartache, Fang Zhili wiped her daughter’s tears away and said, “Don’t cry. Based on what you said, this little hooligan is not completely brainless. She actually resorted to such a despicable trick just to stop you from going to the Mu Family Mansion.”
Li Xueqing said with resentment in her eyes, “I won’t let her have it easy!”
“It’s alright. It doesn’t matter even if you can’t go. Now that your face is swollen, it’s not suitable for you to go to the Mu Family Mansion. Anyway, that little hooligan’s reputation has already been ruined ever since she hit her cousin during the banquet and got arrested for theft. I’m afraid they’ve long lost their patience. A prideful person like Mu Donglin definitely won’t be able to tolerate it.”
“Since the old fogey won’t be around at the Mu Family Mansion tonight, she won’t be able to leave so easily.”
Upon hearing Fang Zhili’s analysis, Li Xueqing finally stopped crying.
The thought of the possibility of Mu Donglin calling off his engagement to Li Beinian tonight, made Li Xueqing feel much better.
Hugging Fang Zhili’s arm, Li Xueqing exclaimed coquettishly, “Mommy, you must avenge me!”
“Okay, just wait for my good news while you’re at home. She has to pay the price for bullying my daughter,” Fang Zhili said with a look of menace in her eyes.
Li Xueqing stopped crying and instead nodded smilingly.
–
Li Haoran had been waiting downstairs for a long time. Fang Zhili finally appeared.
Fang Zhili was dressed to the nines in an expensive dress from the Spring Collection of a designer label which made her look exceptionally elegant and lofty.
Li Haoran’s eyes glistened upon sight of his wife.
Fang Zhili had been maintaining her youthful looks and beauty for the past few years.
Even her figure was flawless, just like her face.
Fang Zhili smiled upon sight of the awe in Li Haoran’s eyes. “You’ve been waiting for a long time.”
Li Haoran held her hand and kissed it. “I’m willing to wait forever for you.”
Fang Zhili chided coquettishly, “You’ve got such a glib tongue! Where’s Niannian?”
Li Haoran frowned. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the sounds of footsteps.
Li Beinian was dressed in a white long-sleeved shirt and a pair of black-colored high-waisted pants that made her long and slender body look even more perfect.
She draped a cream-colored jacket over her outfit and pulled her long hair back into a ponytail, thus appearing rather neat, clean, suave and attractive.
Her cheeks were rosy, her skin was of a healthy fairness and her eyes were large and full of soul.
The baby fat in her face made her look puerile and youthful.
She was extremely elegant as well.
Compared to the Li Beinian she was just now, she was… completely different.
Greatly taken aback, Fang Zhili’s heart sank.
Although she hated to do so, she had no choice but to admit that Li Beinian’s clothes had added on to her beauty.
Li Beinian made her way down the stairs calmly and said, “I’m ready. Can we leave now?”
Li Haoran looked away and stared at Li Beinian before saying, “Very good. You look very beautiful. Later on, be mindful of your attitude when you apologize. Remember that you were just muddled up and did that in a moment of folly. You didn’t do it on purpose.”
“What? We’re going to apologize?” Li Beinian asked in bewilderment.
Li Haoran barked with a sullen expression, “If you don’t apologize, the engagement will be called off! By then, you won’t be the only one getting embarrassed!”
