Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Dare to Call Me a Violent Woman

Uncle Li Wanshan often sabotaged Li Zishen behind the scenes, which is an undeniable fact.

Yet some things were unknown to outsiders, who instead thought he contributed a lot to the family business, especially after the death of elder brother Li Zhenshan, as he seemed to be running around, truly breaking his heart over it.

He colluded with shareholders to put pressure on Li Zishen, but outsiders saw it as full-fledged support.

Even so, Madam Lai and Li Zishen turned a blind eye; family scandals should not be aired in public, and appearances still needed to be maintained.

After all, everyone was related, and taking things too far would benefit no one if the veneer of civility were to be torn away.

With so many people coming and going in Bie Yuan, someone with ulterior motives might have overheard Li Zihan’s words and then sold the story to journalists for a hefty reward.

Internal stability within the group was extremely important.

Li Zihan certainly understood this notion, so after his mother scolded him, he obediently continued eating.

"Mom, has uncle three... not yet met Xiao Wan?"

"He has, and said she’s quite nice."

"Where did they meet?"

"Last week, he took Ming Yue to the movies and ran into her by chance. He even gave up his parking spot to your uncle. Xiao Wan popped her head out and greeted him with a smile. Your uncle saw her through the glass and said she paired well with your brother, a lovely girl."

"Of course, Xiao Wan is indeed quite adorable, especially when she’s angry, or wait, how did uncle three know that was Xiao Wan?"

"She went to the shopping center, remember? When your brother took her there that time."

Li Zihan suddenly realized.

"Oh, I see, I see."

When Li Zishen took Tang Xiaowan to Yishen Mall, it was quite a spectacle.

One was the group’s helmsman and the other was a girl as lovely as a budding flower. The whole internet was blown up, with rumors flying all over.

Damn reporters, writing nonsense!

Li Zihan silently cursed in his heart and then served his mother some vegetables.

"Mom, when you have the time, invite uncle three and his family over for a meal. It would be better for Xiao Wan and my brother to have a formal meeting."

"I’ve been thinking about it, but your brother seems to suggest... what does Xiao Wan really think? He seems a bit unsure about her. I brought up engagement, but your brother said... Xiao Wan is still young; we should wait until after she graduates."

"Oh, that! My brother is just a little... scared of Xiao Wan."

Madam Lai: "?"

Is the online rumor true? Violent Woman?

Nanny Wu: "?"

Bad temper, prone to domestic violence?

"Mom, don’t get the wrong idea. It’s not that kind of fear. Xiao Wan is quite gentle, just a bit mischievous, since she’s so young, hahaha."

Madam Lai and Nanny Wu looked at each other, paused for a few seconds, and then began to laugh as well.

...

Jinyuan Academy, Building 29.

After lunch, Li Zihan sent Tang Xiaowan a message, attempting to subtly probe her thoughts on marrying his brother Li Zishen, only to receive a violent response that left him speechless.

[Your brother is your brother, and I am me. If you keep spouting nonsense, believe it or not, I’ll throw you into outer space, the kind where you can’t fly back.]

The more Li Zihan thought about it, the angrier he became, eventually replying with three words: [Violent Woman!]

Just now, Tang Xiaowan had already dumped the small pills given to her by Leng Lingxiao into the toilet.

Her mood was already foul, and she was sulking when Li Zihan’s message couldn’t have come at a worse time, hitting her raw nerve.

"Violent Woman! How dare you call me violent?"

"Hmph! Just you wait, I’ll show you what a real Violent Woman is!"

"Violent? I’m happy, it’s my choice!"

After grumbling a few times, Tang Xiaowan dashed to her bed and began to roll around with her pillow.

Actually, calling her "Violent Woman" wasn’t unjustified at all.

Most things in Li Garden couldn’t escape her devilish grasp, disassembling some, painting others, and even sneaking off to the third floor in the middle of the night pretending to sleepwalk, just to scare Li Zishen.

Now, she’d gotten her wish, finally moving out of Li Garden and regaining her freedom.

"Li Zishen, could I fall for him?"

"What a joke, I’d rather marry a beggar than a man like him who takes advantage of ’protecting’ me to get his hands on me and even has people keep tabs on me. He’s nothing but a hypocrite, a super mega sly old fox."

"Pshaw, Leng Lingxiao is better than him!"

"Violent Woman? So I’m violent, I’ll tear down his precious Li Garden someday. I choose to be violent, I’m happy being violent, what’s it to you?"

Suddenly, a burst of laughter rang out.

Tang Xiaowan quickly rose to her feet and realized that when she’d come in, she hadn’t closed the door behind her. It was now wide open.

The visitor was Wang Meijuan, holding a box.

"Miss, who upset you?" Wang Meijuan asked with a giggle, having evidently overheard the last remark about being a Violent Woman.

"You arrived just in time; I have something to ask you."

"Oh, all right, why don’t you try this first? Mr. Leng specifically asked to send this over."

Tang Xiaowan glanced at the round box—inside were smiley faces made from blueberries and white chocolate chips, packed tight, probably to prevent them from getting dislodged, wrapped in cling film.

"Why’s he coming around again?"

"Who are you talking about?"

"Huahua, who else?"

"Oh, it wasn’t Mr. Leng; it was sent over by Zhao Renjie. He said blueberries are good for the eyes and could help you see farther."

"See farther?"

"Yes, those were his exact words."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaowan immediately ran to the westernmost room. Peering through the gauze curtain, she indeed saw a figure waving in her direction.

Although she couldn’t see clearly, Tang Xiaowan was certain it must be Leng Lingxiao himself.

"Pshaw, bored, creepy Peeping Tom!"

Wang Meijuan, who was following close behind, chuckled naively, "Miss, you just said... you had something to ask me, what is it?"

Tang Xiaowan touched the tip of her nose and slowly turned around: "Nothing much, I just wanted to ask you whether you requested the whole day off for me this morning, or just half the day?"

As these words fell, Wang Meijuan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied, "The whole day, worried you wouldn’t get enough rest."

"Oh, got it, hand it over."

Tang Xiaowan took the round box from Wang Meijuan’s hands and thoughtfully headed to her room.

Forget it, there’s no need to ask! If I can sew, I can sew. Having an extra skill can’t hurt, but that technique... it does look very much like that of a doctor, way too professional!

"Miss, there’s something else I forgot to ask."

Tang Xiaowan suddenly turned around: "What?"

"Granny Yu wanted to know, Mr. Leng gave us so much lamb, do you want to have hotpot tonight?"

"Lamb hotpot?"

"Yes, we could slice up some lamb rolls with the slicer. We have two copper pots; they were brought from Mei Garden when Granny Yu came over."

"You’ve thought it out quite well, do you want to eat it?"

"Me? Well, I’m... I’m fine with anything. I’ll go with whatever you decide, Miss. So, are you going to eat, or not?"

Tang Xiaowan pursed her lips and smiled: "Let’s have it then. Buy some drinks, beer and such."

"Alright, I’ll get right on it."

Wang Meijuan replied and scurried downstairs with a cheerful grin, moving as fast as if she were sprinting in a hundred-meter race.

"Good heavens, she’s so enthusiastic!"
