Chapter 725: Chapter 725: Why Is She So Bossy?!

Ouyang Qian removed a blade of grass from her hair: “What did I tell you before you left? Fu Si has a bad temper, you should be more tolerant towards him. Yet you still ended up arguing with him.”

“I didn’t argue with him,” Lai Yuanyuan thought of that little ruffian, tears of anger falling, but unable to do anything to him: “You said you were going to talk business and asked him to take me out for a walk. He said he had set up a drift net in the river next to his house to catch fish, so I went with him. But right after I stepped off the stairs, he suddenly pushed me.”

At this point, she couldn’t help saying: “I don’t want to marry him at all, I even find it disgusting to lie in the same bed with him!”

“Then who do you plan to marry?” Ouyang Qian countered.

Lai Yuanyuan was at a loss for words.

Ouyang Qian continued to console her: “Those who are worse off than the Fu Family you look down upon, and those better than the Fu Family might not necessarily think highly of you. You’re not like your sister; the man she found is too impressive, I’m even worried you couldn’t handle him.

Moreover, didn’t Chairman Fu and Mrs. Fu make Fu Si apologize to you? In the future, if there’s anything, just go directly to the Fu Family elders. Could you still suffer a loss at Fu Si’s hands?”

Hearing this, Lai Yuanyuan’s mood finally improved.

“Your sister is now facing trouble, if you and Fu Si settle things, you could also help your sister,” Ouyang Qian held her younger daughter’s shoulders, steering the conversation: “You don’t want to be with Fu Si, would you rather watch Tang Li marry into the Fu Family?”

Lai Yuanyuan clutched the hem of her skirt on her lap.

She didn’t want that at all, she didn’t want Tang Li to turn into a phoenix and perch on high branches!

A bastard daughter who ruined their family, what right did she have to live the good life?

Ouyang Qian’s brows and eyes relaxed: “Once things between you and Fu Si fail, she will pounce on him like a fly, clinging to Fu Si that golden egg and not letting go. The person you don’t care for is desired by others outside. Once Fu Si has someone else by his side, it’ll be too late for you to regret.”

Before her words could fade, there was a sound of footsteps from the stairwell.

Ouyang Qian turned her head and saw Tang Li.

Lai Yuanyuan stopped crying.

Tang Li seemed not to notice the tears at the corners of her eyes and smiled slightly: “If my presence disturbs aunty and cousin’s conversation, I can go back upstairs.”

“No disturbance,” Ouyang Qian put on an amiable face and stood up from the sofa: “Ah Li, have you had dinner yet? If not, I’ll have the servants prepare something for you.”

“Then I’ll have a few steamed eggs,” Tang Li was not polite to her.

Ouyang Qian: “…”

Tang Li turned and went upstairs, suddenly remembering something, and looked back at Ouyang Qian: “Have them sent up to me in 15 minutes, otherwise I’ll be going to sleep.”

“She’s treating you like a servant, mom!”

Lai Yuanyuan was so angry that her eyes reddened: “She’s a bastard, why does she get to act so high and mighty at home?”

Ouyang Qian, unlike her younger daughter, could keep her cool: “Because your sister could get entangled in a human trafficking case and will need her to testify in court.”

“…” Lai Yuanyuan was speechless.

“If she talks nonsense, your sister’s case will only get more troublesome.”

Clearly, Tang Li also knew this.

So now, she didn’t even take them seriously!

After Ouyang Qian comforted her younger daughter, Lai Wenyan also returned to the main bedroom from the study, and as he was undressing beside the bed and saw his wife close the door, he spoke up: “Xiaxia’s trouble, indeed, was not caused by Ah Li.”

Lai Wenyan had called Tang Li home today to test her, which Ouyang Qian was aware of.

Now, with Lai Wenyan saying so, she didn’t press the issue any further, taking the shirt off her husband: “I said Ah Li wouldn’t do such a thing, it’s you who thought too much.”
