Chapter 73 Li Ye: Want to know why I hit you?
“Madam Tang, I just hope that you will remember this clearly from now on.”
Lin Sui's dark eyes were fixed on Tang's mother, and she said, word by word, "Only Tang Xi is your biological daughter. As for He Huanni, the niece you dote on, she is the illegitimate daughter born from your husband's affair with your sister."
"Wh-what?" Tang's mother gasped for breath, her face turning deathly pale.
Under her incredulous gaze, Lin Sui calmly let go of the last straw: "He Huanni also knows about this. She privately calls your husband 'Dad'."
Tang's mother slowly turned her head, her expression rusty: "What she said, is it true?"
"I...she...I don't know either..." He Huanni was young after all, and once she was exposed, she couldn't hide it at all. Her eyes darted away, and she didn't dare to look at her. She simply covered her face and started to cry.
Tang's mother swayed slightly; was there anything else she didn't understand?
But Lin Sui was an outsider, and she couldn't let herself easily believe Lin Sui's words.
Tang's mother maintained her composure, keeping her back straight as she walked out step by step.
She was going to call her husband back so they could do a paternity test.
As she approached the door, she suddenly stopped, and without turning her head, said, "Lin Sui, right? You're so protective of her, aren't you afraid that she might implicate you in the future, or even kill you?"
"If you're scared, I advise you to leave now."
To avoid someone saying "It's all your fault" later, making today's incident a joke.
But then she heard Lin Sui's calm voice behind her: "Tangxi is not you, and I am not your so-called friend."
Tang's mother froze, and after a long while, she sneered, "That would be best."
After Tang's mother and He Huanni left one after another, Lin Sui took the medicine brought in by the charming woman and gently applied it to Tang Xi's back little by little.
Tangxi didn't make a sound from beginning to end, as if she had fallen asleep again.
But Lin Sui knew that she was conscious, and the body under her hands was still trembling slightly.
"Oh dear, you've been beaten up like this, what a poor little thing." The woman sat on the sofa with her long legs crossed, resting her chin on her hand as she carefully examined the injuries on Tang Xi's body.
Lin Sui finished applying the medicine before looking at her.
He stared at her for only two seconds before calling out her name: "Lu Xiang".
"You recognized me so easily? How boring." Lu Xiang pouted, wearing an unfamiliar face, saying it was boring, but her eyes were full of laughter.
Lin Sui: "Why are you here?"
"I went to the store to check on things and found that my employees were absent without reason, so of course I had to come and see," Lu Xiang said matter-of-factly, then nodded with her chin and pointed at Tang Xi, "What about her?"
Lin Sui looked back at Tang Xi, thought for a moment, and said, "I want to take her away from here temporarily."
She deliberately revealed He Huanni's background to throw the Tang family into chaos, so they wouldn't be able to take care of Tang Xi.
But it's hard to guarantee that she won't be affected.
The best solution is to take her away.
Just then, a rustling sound came from under the covers.
A moment later, the phone emerged from inside, its lit screen displaying a line of text.
—I can't leave.
Lin Sui frowned.
What does it mean that you can't leave?
She didn't see anything strange in the faces of Tang's mother and He Huanni that could trap Tang Xi.
Remembering Tang's mother's words, Lin Sui said gently, "If you're afraid of implicating me or causing my death, then you don't need to worry. I know who is the one who will kill me, and it has nothing to do with you."
Hearing this, Lu Xiang narrowed her eyes.
Tangxi, who was hiding under the covers, seemed to be stunned as well.
After a long while, she still shook her head.
Seeing that she insisted on not leaving, Lin Sui didn't want to force her anymore.
She hesitated for a moment, and finally found the Tang family's nanny.
"The reason you didn't listen to Madam Tang and apply the medicine to Tangxi is because you took a bribe from He Huanni."
The nanny was startled by the straightforward words.
Before she could argue, Lin Sui continued, "The reason you need He Huanni's benefits is because your son's business failed and he's owing a mountain of high-interest loans."
The nanny was completely stunned: "You, how could you..."
Lin Sui: "I can help your son pay off his debts, but you must take good care of Tangxi from today onwards, without leaving her side at all times."
As she spoke, she glanced at Lu Xiang, who was writing something, and took out her phone to hand to the nanny: "Enter your account information yourself."
The nanny did as instructed, though she was still somewhat skeptical.
Soon, her own phone rang, and there really was a five million yuan deposit!
The nanny's eyes widened, and then she knelt down before Lin Sui with a thud: "A living Buddha! Thank you, living Buddha!"
"Come on, let's sign a contract first, since words are not enough." Lu Xiang walked over with a newly written contract. "If we find that you have not fulfilled your promise, you will have to pay double the amount in compensation."
The nanny nodded repeatedly, "Of course, of course."
Lin Sui finally felt relieved after arranging these matters.
It's not that we can't find another nanny, but we can't find a better one in a short time, and no one knows the Tang family better than this nanny.
She also believed in her judgment of people; as long as Tangxi was doing well, the five million was well spent.
Lin Sui thought for a moment, then looked at the little bulge on the bed: "Tangtang, I hope to see you again in the second episode of the variety show the day after tomorrow. You'll come, right?"
The little drum remained silent for a very long time before letting out a barely audible "hmm".
At the same time, a commotion arose outside.
Tangxi's father has returned.
Just as Lin Sui was thinking about whether to teach him a lesson, Li Ye, who had been guarding the door without coming in, suddenly strode away.
"You rest well first, I'll go out and take a look." Lin Sui hurriedly instructed, and followed Lu Xiang.
The nanny diligently stayed by the bedside, worried that Tangxi would sweat from being covered by the blankets, and turned down the air conditioner temperature without considering whether she herself would be cold.
When Lin Sui arrived at the courtyard, he saw Li Ye heading straight for Tang's father with a murderous aura.
"boom!"
A heavy punch landed on Tang's father's face, causing him to slump against the wall, and his gold-rimmed glasses flew off.
Tang's father was stunned by the blow, and it took him a full minute to react. He glared angrily at Li Ye and said, "Are you crazy? Who are you? I have no grudge against you, why did you hit me?"
He said he wanted to fight back, but unfortunately, he was too polite and gentle to be a match for Li Ye.
The moment her slender arm was raised, Li Ye easily grasped it.
Li Ye's usually indifferent face was now filled with gloom. He remained silent and did not utter a word, but then raised his fist and slammed it hard into Tang's father's face.
"Ah!" Tang's father cried out in pain, his face swollen high.
The refined and elegant demeanor that time has honed is gone; all that remains is a pig's head.
Li Ye grabbed his collar with one hand and pulled him close, his cold eyes looking at him like he was looking at a dead man: "Want to know why I hit you?"
