Chapter 7
A clear voice stopped her. Tang Xin paused but didn’t dare to turn back for fear that it wasn’t calling her.
Soon, steady footsteps stopped behind her, and a tall figure unintentionally blocked her from half of the sun.
Tang Lingfeng glanced at the shopping bags she was carrying and asked softly, “Did you come back to visit?”
Tang Xin nodded, feeling a little nervous and also a little surprised.
“Why aren’t you turning your head? Don’t want to see your second brother?”
Second Brother? Can she call him that?
“Are you blaming me for transferring Third Uncle to South Africa? You should know that Little Uncle was willing to let Third Uncle off because you promised to marry into the Li family, but we couldn’t act like nothing had happened, so I had no choice but to transfer Third Uncle to South Africa.”
She wasn’t! It was just that she had never called him that before, so she didn’t know how to do it.
Everyone in the Tang family had always ignored her when they saw her, so why had he called out to her this time?
She slowly turned to face him, raised her clear eyes to look at him, and asked with uncertainty, “Is there anything that I can do to help you… Second Brother?”
As it was her first time calling him by this name, she sounded a little unnatural.
Why had he suddenly called out to her, was there something that he wanted her to help with? But she wasn’t sure what she could help him with, because she didn’t know anything else other than playing the piano.
Tang Lingfeng froze for a while before he realized that she had misunderstood him, and his cold heart softened a little.
He touched her head with guilt, “I stopped you not because I needed your help, but because I saw that you didn’t go in.”
Tang Xin’s eyes immediately turned red.
Seeing her so touched, Tang Lingfeng felt even more guilty. “I’ve been too cold In the past, it’s my fault, I hope you won’t blame me.”
Tang Xin shook her head. She had never blamed anyone, really.
“I have a meeting later, would you go home with me first? I’ll ask the housekeeper to take care of you.” Tang Lingfeng looked up at his watch and took the things from her hands. They were actually quite heavy.
Tang Xin froze for a while and nodded, “Thank you… Second Brother.” Thank you for seeing me.
Tang Lingfeng smiled and touched her head before taking her into the house.
In the end, Tang Xin only drank a cup of hot tea and left. She was happy when she left, because her second brother was willing to acknowledge her, and she had one more family member.
3After wandering outside until the evening, she took a taxi and went back to the cold place — Star Garden.
As other vehicles were not allowed on the private road, she had to get off at the foot of the hill and walk the remaining one hundred meters.
2It was a remote hill, and it wasn’t the best time to enjoy the scenery even though there were maple trees on both sides of the long private roads. Moreover, this was a private property where visiting and filming was prohibited…
So why was there a group of people gathered here?
Although Tang Xin was curious, she had always stayed away from crowds.
She held tightly onto her bag and fastened her pace, fearing that she would get into unnecessary trouble.
“Look! That’s Li Yunshen’s newlywed wife! Get her!”
Someone recognized her just as she walked past quietly.
Her hands were being grabbed and her body was being thrown forcefully before men gathered around her one after another. Their fierce-looking faces and bad odors made it difficult for her to breathe.
She had never encountered something like that, and she could only hold her bag tightly on her chest, forming a protective layer that wasn’t exactly useful.
Suddenly, someone pushed and jabbed her, and kept swearing.
“Do you know that your husband is crazy? He fired two-thirds of the staff at Li Enterprise after taking charge and found another group of people to replace… We are those who were fired without being given any explanation, we signed an employment contract and he had no right to fire us for no reason! ”
“Yes! He had no right…”
“I heard that whoever marries you can be the president of Li Enterprise, which means it was all because of you that he could fire us!”
3So it was because of her.
