Chapter 172 Yunxia's Rampage
After dinner, it was time for everyone to get to know each other and build connections. Yunxia found a corner and waited quietly for Li Chen to come to her. Soon, the young man broke free from the circle of elders, gave a gesture, and the two of them crouched down and moved slowly forward along the green belt.
"Hey, what are you two doing sneaking around like that?"
Upon seeing the boy's face clearly, Yun Lin's face immediately turned red, and her voice became... delicate and weak.
"Hello, I'm Yunlin. I've been invited to this birthday banquet. What's your name? Are you also here for a birthday banquet? Do you also hate these kinds of occasions, so you're sneaking around here? Where are you going? Could you take me with you?"
She could ask a hundred thousand questions, but none of them were as witty as her. Li Chen ignored her and gave Yun Xia a wink. The two continued walking forward, but the girl was oblivious to their tact.
"Hey, I'm talking to you, can you at least acknowledge me? You're being so ungentlemanly!"
During the birthday celebration, the girl squeezed in at the front and was hard to miss. Her knowing-it-all approach to striking up a conversation annoyed Li Chen. "Gentlemanly manners are for well-mannered women, and you... happen to be not one of them!"
The girl's chest heaved up and down, her breathing becoming increasingly rapid, as if she was angered by him. "Hmph, no wonder your mother was abandoned. What kind of good person could raise a son like this!"
Snap!
Before the boy could even get angry, Yunxia slapped him across the face and snapped, "Who do you think you are, daring to gossip about Aunt Liu!"
Suddenly, a young man ran over from afar, pushed Yunxia aside, and hugged the girl who was covering her face and crying. "Linlin, don't cry. With Daddy here, no one will dare to bully you."
"Dad, hit her! Give her back to me! Waaah, it hurts so much, Linlin!"
The man turned around and saw that the girl who had fallen to the ground had been helped up. He angrily shouted, "What did your parents teach you? How dare you hit someone? Do you know that one word from them can send you to jail? Apologize to my Yunlin right now!"
Yun Xia never imagined that she would have any interaction with Yun Jianfeng in this way, nor did she expect that after only a few years, he would not even recognize the face of his own daughter.
"Uncle, it was your daughter who hurt me first, Xia... Waaah!"
“Li Chen, if you get bitten by a rabid dog, the best solution is to get a rabies vaccine, not to bite it back. This stinky old man who probably hasn’t showered in three years, I slapped your daughter, you pushed her back, so we’re even. But if you ever dare to cause me trouble again, you’ll be the one going to jail. What, you don’t believe I can do it?”
Yun Jianfeng knew that the boy was a descendant of the Li family. To become friends with him, he must be someone of great wealth and status. Moreover, the violet bracelet on his wrist was worth about six figures on the market. Therefore, after the initial impulse subsided, he dared not say anything more.
"Coward!"
After saying that, he glared at the father and daughter who were embracing, pulled Li Chen away, climbed over the fence, got into the car, and told the driver to drive home.
Yaoshan Mountain, Liu Family Villa, along the camphor tree-lined path!
"Xiaxia, something unusual happened at the birthday banquet, and I always felt that you weren't in a very good mood!"
"I just remembered a poor thing who died without her biological father coming to pick her up. Don't you think she was tragic?"
"ah?"
The boy was completely baffled!
"Hey, just kidding. I just hurt my ribs, it hurts when I laugh, so I have to make a face!"
The girl's expression was serious, not feigned, but Li Chen felt that what she had just said was not a joke.
"Xiaxia, I've heard about what happened to you. Forget the past and cherish the present to be happy. I believe that no matter where Uncle Yun is, he will always miss you, his daughter."
Yunxia shook her head mysteriously and said, "No, I don't believe it. Let's walk faster, I'm sleepy."
After saying that, he covered his mouth and yawned, pretending to be sleepy. Then he sped up and jogged back to his room. Li Chen smiled helplessly and followed him.
The two never expected that they would encounter the young man, along with his wife and daughter, again just a few days later.
On that day, Yun Jianfeng brought his wife and children to visit. The man and Liu Yunkuang went to the study to discuss business. Jiang Yan chatted with Liu Yunxiang and Guan Zhiying. Yun Lin tried to win over the two young ladies of the Liu family, but Liu Xiaolian felt that she was petty and not worthy of playing with her. She took a large bouquet of flowers and went to the back mountain to find Yun Xia.
"Tsk tsk, they really are from a small town, treating even a broken bug like a treasure."
Hiss, Jiang Chao isn't here, so why is his shadow everywhere? "Hehe, I wonder who it was that was squatting in the corridor yesterday, eating steamed buns and cicada pupae, his mouth dripping with oil."
"Yunxia, hmph, I'm not giving you the flowers!" The girl said angrily after her embarrassing moment was exposed.
Yunxia glanced at them and, to her surprise, they were all beautiful flowers. She picked a pink and white rose and said, "Roses are my favorite. Take the rest back!"
The commanding tone suddenly made the girl rebellious. She shoved all the flowers in her arms into the girl's arms and plopped down next to her. "Hmph, today the Liu family has a 'distinguished guest' named Yun Jianfeng. He said he's a clothing manufacturer from Nancheng who wants to cooperate with the Liu family to create an independent brand and sell ready-made clothes in Rongcheng!"
"The funniest thing is that his wife and daughter came too, each trying to win over the Liu family's wife and younger generation. With my sharp eyes, I saw through their scheme long ago. That little bitch Liu Xiaohe... cough cough, always talking about Yun Lin, she's a scoundrel. I've finally found my kind."
Liu Xiaolian chattered on and on, but two names kept flashing through Li Chen's mind: 'Yun Jianfeng' and 'Yun Lin'. Recalling Yun Xia's unusual behavior yesterday, he was so shocked to discover the secret that his eyes widened.
"Xiaxia, is it what I think?" the boy asked incredulously.
I knew things couldn't be kept secret, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly!
"Well, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. Just live your own life. If he dares to cause trouble again, I don't recommend sending him to jail."
Yunxia wasn't lying. Ever since she accidentally bumped into the harmonious "family of three" in the Ziwei Forest a few years ago, she had searched through all the law books for ways to send them to prison, and sure enough, she actually found one.
As the economy develops rapidly, money becomes less and less valuable. The 200 yuan foster care fee has long been spent. Yun Jianfeng, whose net worth exceeds eight figures and whose business is thriving, has not sent a single penny to Yun Xia for child support, which constitutes the crime of abandonment.
"Are you sure... you want to be this ruthless?"
Living in a large family, he had been learning some basic legal knowledge, and he had already guessed what the girl was up to.
"Hey, that's assuming... he dares to mess with me again!"
The original owner is dead; belated affection is worth less than grass. Besides, there was no affection to speak of; all that existed was…
"What kind of riddle are you two playing? I recognize each word individually, but when they're put together, I don't understand!"
"It's just a family matter, it has nothing to do with you. Come on, let's go dig for cicada nymphs, and we'll have a big meal for lunch."
After several days of training, Li Chen was no longer afraid of digging up cicada nymphs.
"Alright, let's do it ourselves, we'll have plenty to eat and wear!"
The three split up and each took charge of a section. Perhaps because no one had dug there for years, the cicada nymphs were quite silly, and the entrances to their holes were not too obvious. Before long, each of them had dug up a small half-bucket.
