Chapter 2

On the first day back at the wealthy family, Tan Li took a comfortable bath in a bathtub that was as big as a swimming pool, and enjoyed a full-body essential oil SPA that made her sleepy. While a specialist was taking care of her hair, four people gathered around her limbs to help her with nail care and manicure.

Before she finished her nails and hair, the mall's VIP door-to-door service arrived.

From the latest season to limited editions, from pajamas to casual wear to dresses, according to her size, a batch of clothes came in, went out, and then changed again, which made Tan Li's eyes dazzled.

Tan Li let the hair stylist and manicurist continue, and gestured with her chin, "That blue one, that red one, that yellow one, and that white one, all of them are available."

The mall manager who delivered the goods to her door showed a standard eight-tooth smile, "Okay, Miss Tan, do you need to see anything else?"

Hmm? Is this a hint that she is not rich enough?

Tan Li thought about it, put away her shallow imagination, and corrected her attitude as a rich daughter, "Then take everything from this row to that row."

Wow, the feeling of paying without looking at the numbers -

cool!

Intoxicated!

Although Tan Li was mentally prepared to spend money calmly, when it came to choosing jewelry, she really didn't have the energy.

Spending money is actually a physical job!

With her bulging nails, she pointed casually, "Take everything from here to there."

It was not until Tan Li was tired of spending money and went back to her room to rest that Butler Zhong was surprised that this real daughter who had just been found had never asked a single question from beginning to end about what kind of people her biological parents were, and what kind of person the fake daughter who was taken away by mistake was.

She just...

spent millions of dollars in one afternoon with a clear conscience.

**

"So she spent so much money right after she came back?"

"Xiao Li has suffered so much for so many years, this little money is nothing!"

"This little money is indeed nothing to a family like ours, but for Xiao Li's growing environment, it is already a huge sum of money. She has no self-control, I'm afraid this child..."

"What's wrong with this child? What's wrong?! If we hadn't lost her, she should have grown up like a princess. As long as Xiao Li is happy, she can throw that little money into the sea for fun!"

"Wife, you can't say that. We are still here and can protect her, but how long can we protect her? One day we will be one step ahead of her. If..."

"...I know, I know, but...husband, when I think of how much Xiaoli has suffered over the years...I, I..."

The woman's suppressed cry was clearly heard by Tan Li, and she calmly opened her eyes.

It's not that the soundproofing of this room is bad, it's that she is too sensitive, and she will wake up at the slightest disturbance.

Listening to the arguments between the man and the woman downstairs, Tan Li thought about it, did she spend too much money yesterday?

It seems that the rich can't always experience the joy of spending money without looking at the numbers...

Tan Li got up from the bed slowly, and from the pile of clothes she bought yesterday that she couldn't even see clearly, she picked out a golden, long-tailed evening dress that was obviously not for daily wear, and picked out a pair of high heels that were difficult to walk in but very gorgeous.

Earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, and a diamond clutch that couldn't hold anything, all were necessary.

Add to that the hair that had been carefully styled yesterday, and she looked like a moving Christmas tree. Tan Li nodded with satisfaction.

Hahahaha, it's obvious that this isn't something she would wear. If she were to encounter a natural disaster or man-made calamity with this outfit, she wouldn't be able to outrun others and would be the first cannon fodder! Hahahaha. Tan

Li wore a particularly happy smile, held up her skirt modestly, raised her chin proudly, and walked out of the room with my expensive steps twisted.

Unfortunately, she stumbled on the first step because of those beautiful but rebellious high heels.

Thanks to her quick eyes and hands, she managed to grab the handrail and avoid falling down the stairs in her evening gown.

However, her diamond-studded handbag was not so lucky.

Seeing it bounce down the stairs with a "dong, dong, dong" sound, the small diamonds on the bag had never suffered such an injustice, and they fled one by one and fell all over the floor. Tan Li said with a pity in her heart -

if the diamonds can't be glued back, will the money she just spent yesterday just "snap" and go down the stairs?

The sound of money skipping on the water... is beautiful!

The sound of the handbag falling attracted the attention of the people on the first floor. With the sound of hurried footsteps, a woman in a pink knitted dress ran out. She was wearing a snow-white shawl, and her slightly curly chestnut hair was pulled to one side, revealing her slender and white neck, graceful figure, and a face that was extremely deceptive of age.

Wow, a beauty.

Tan Li had just finished exclaiming in praise when she was caught off guard and met those beautiful eyes with tears in them.

Tan Li raised her hand on her own initiative. "Hello?"

This sentence made me see the pitiful beauty's eyes full of tears.

The beauty stretched out her hand tremblingly, as if she wanted to get closer but didn't dare to.

The man who appeared next was wearing a straight suit vest, and he embraced the beauty tenderly. His eagle eyes followed the beauty's hand and looked at Tan Li, frowning slightly.

The beauty leaned in the man's arms, tears filling her eyes, "Xiao Li, my Xiao Li..."

Seeing his wife's voice was tinged with tears, the man frowned and tried to soften his voice, "Xiao Li, we are your father and mother."

Tan Li held onto the handrail of the stairs and nodded, "Hello, Dad, Hello, Mom."

Tan Pei and Wu Xiu were both stunned.

Wu Xiu trembled and looked at her biological daughter who had just been found. Her daughter was half-sitting on the stairs, calling her mom obediently.

The tears in Wu Xiu's eyes finally fell. She broke away from Tan Pei's embrace. She rushed to Tan Li at a speed she could not imagine. She

hugged Tan Li into her arms.

Wu Xiu: "Yes, I am your mother, my little Li, my precious daughter..."

Ah this...

Tan Li was slightly dazed in the warm and soft embrace, not knowing how to react for a moment.

Please tell me, what should she do when someone is in her arms and the person is still crying?

Tan Li looked at the ceiling, stretched out her hand and patted Wu Xiu on the back, "If possible, can you call me Dali?"

For someone like her who is pragmatic, the name Xiaoli is a bit self-deprecating.

Wu Xiu's tears paused, "Da, Dali?"

"Yeah." Tan Li nodded seriously, "I'm quite strong."

I don't know which tear point of Wu Xiu was touched by these words, tears welled up in her eyes, and the hand holding Tan Li tightened slightly, as if she wanted to rub her into her bones and blood.

"My daughter... my precious daughter..."

Even a seasoned woman like Tan Li didn't know how to react to such a hug that was hard to refuse. She looked blankly at Tan Pei who was still downstairs.

Your wife, don't you come to coax her?

Perhaps it was really the tacit understanding between the blood relationship. Tan Pei walked up the stairs and hugged Wu Xiu and Tan Li together. "Okay, okay, our family is finally reunited. It's such a happy day. Don't cry."

Before Tan Li could break free from the first hug, she was crushed by the second hug. She stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.

...Okay, it's time to show her strong adaptability.

Tan Li pulled out her arms, put her left hand on Tan Pei's back, and her right hand on Wu Xiu's back, "Oh! I'm alive and well! My arms and legs are not broken..." Before she

finished speaking, Wu Xiu cried even louder.

...

Numb.

Tan Li shut up, okay, it's just one of them holding her on both sides and crying, it's not a big deal, with her physical strength, she won't feel tired even if she is held and cried for a whole day and night.

But fortunately, Tan Pei and Wu Xiu didn't really hold her and cry for a whole day and night, because -

with a "gulp", Tan Li's stomach growled.

Tan Li didn't care. After all, being hungry was normal for her. Not to mention this short while, even if she was hungry for three days and three nights, she could still kill a long-tailed leopard in the [Beast Paradise].

But she didn't care. Wu Xiu suddenly let go of her hands.

She wiped her face carelessly, "Little Li and Big Li are hungry, it's all mom's fault. Let's go eat first, okay?"

Tan Li nodded modestly.

Although she could tolerate being hungry, it didn't mean she was comfortable. She would not be hungry if she could.

Wu Xiu's face was still wet with tears, but she tried to smile, "What does our Dali want to eat? Your father has found many chefs for you, and there are chefs of all cuisines. You can eat whatever you want."

Tan Li: "Well, I ordered the dishes last night, and asked them to serve a specialty dish each."

Although she had already eaten a table of specialties last night, Tan Li felt that the chefs in this castle should not have only one specialty, so Tan Li, who was very satisfied with the specialties last night, had asked the chefs in the kitchen to continue preparing this morning's specialties after dinner yesterday.

"Okay, if Dali likes it, Mom will give them a bonus."

Tan Li: ? Why not give the bonus directly to her?

Wu Xiu held Tan Li’s arm and walked towards the restaurant affectionately, “Do you like it here, Dali? If you don’t like the decoration anywhere, just tell mom and dad and we’ll change it right away. If you don’t like this house, we can change to another one. As long as Dali likes it, the most important thing is.”

With Wu Xiu holding her arm, Tan Li was finally able to walk in those 10-centimeter high heels. She thought for a moment, “Can we change to a house with an elevator?”

The castle is nice, but without an elevator, it’s hard to go up and down the stairs.

Tan Li, who is determined to retire, adheres to the principle of never sitting if she can lie down, and never standing if she can sit.

And…

Tan Li: “Why not just live back in your original home?”

Wu Xiu’s smile froze.

Tan Pei looked at Tan Li in surprise, "Why do you say that?"

Tan Li pointed to her ears, "I heard it."

Tan Li woke up countless times during the night because of her alertness during sleep. She heard these words from the two maids cleaning outside the door when she woke up in the early morning.

Tan Li: "You should have investigated me, thinking that I like this kind of big castle that looks like a rich man lives in, with a house full of maids and housekeepers."

As Tan Li spoke, Wu Xiu glared at Tan Pei fiercely.

Tan Li did not expose the affair between the two of them. "I heard that you originally lived in Jiangcheng, and bought a piece of land in this city to build a castle for me, hoping to compensate me."

"But your survey report may be outdated. Compared with a big castle, I now prefer a modern community with elevators and convenient living."

"Of course, if you don't want me to disturb your original life, I can continue to live in this castle."

It doesn't matter where you live? With a seven-digit pocket money every month, everything is easy.

The little pearls in Wu Xiu's eyes fell involuntarily again. She hugged

Tan Li, "How could I disturb you? Dali, you are willing to go to Jiangcheng to live with mom and dad. Mom and dad are so happy." She glared at Tan Pei behind her, "It's all your fault for acting on your own! Dali is sad."

Ah... no, she is not sad.

Tan Li was too lazy to explain, so Tan Pei lowered his head and admitted his mistake, "Yes, yes, it's my fault."

Wu Xiu lightly tapped Tan Pei on the chest, "It's your fault. You found the news about Dali so early, but you didn't tell me. You also secretly took me abroad, so I couldn't see my precious daughter the first time!"

Tan Pei was scolded obediently, "I know I was wrong. I was just worried that you would be upset for a while, so I wanted to find out more clearly before telling you."

"And I built this castle because my daughter likes it..."

The words of explanation became lower and lower in Wu Xiu's fiery eyes, and finally, Tan Pei shut up.

Wu Xiu snorted coldly at him, but became gentle as water when facing Tan Li, "Dali, don't get me wrong, your father is such a suspicious person. Although mom is also very angry that he found you but didn't tell me, he built this castle because he really wanted you to like it, not because he didn't mean to not take you home."

Tan Li nodded obediently, "I understand."

Although she didn't understand the train of thought, she just followed Wu Xiu's words. She just wanted to find a comfortable place to retire and lie down. If it weren't for the fact that there was no elevator in this castle and it was difficult to walk, she wouldn't have brought up this matter.

Wu Xiu: "Da Li, Mom and Dad have really been looking forward to finding you. We have been thinking about you and waiting for you for 10 months before you were born into this world. You were not abandoned. You are mom and dad's most precious baby."

Tan Li was stunned.

She looked into Wu Xiu's deep eyes and said seriously, "I understand."

In short, when she was born, she was indeed born in the love of her parents, but now...

Tan Li said calmly, "Let's have breakfast, I'm hungry."

"Okay, okay." Wu Xiu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, took Tan Li's arm and continued to walk to the restaurant.

As soon as they arrived at the restaurant, Tan Li sat down at the main seat as a matter of course, pointing to a table of more than 20 breakfast dishes, like a host, "You're welcome."

Wu Xiu sat naturally below her, holding chopsticks and eager to try, "Which one do you like to eat, Dali? Mom will pick it up for you."

Tan Pei looked at the dishes on the table and frowned again.

Just as he was about to speak, Wu Xiu glared at him, and Tan Pei had no choice but to sit down and eat in silence.

Although the Tan family is rich, Tan Pei doesn't like to spend lavishly. Whether it was the fact that Tan Li spent millions of dollars in the afternoon after being recognized, or that she wore such a golden dress and full of jewelry at home early in the morning, not to mention the breakfast on the table that was obviously not enough for one person, all of these accurately hit Tan Pei's displeasure.

The most important thing is...

Tan Pei looked at Tan Li calmly. Since meeting this biological daughter, although she always called her father and mother, her eyes were extremely cold, and there was no trace of admiration.

Moreover, when she heard that the Tan family's base camp was in Jiangcheng, she couldn't wait to ask to go with them...

Tan Pei had a lot of thoughts in his mind. He always felt that his biological daughter was corrupted by the orphanage and became a person who was greedy for money.

If this is really the case...

Tan Pei's eyes were sharp. After all, she was his and Wu Xiu's biological daughter. He could raise her, but he couldn't give her more.

Tan Li didn't even raise her eyelids when Tan Pei looked at her from time to time.

Tan Pei's dislike for his biological daughter was revealed in the book, but even if this was the case, would a seven-digit number be missing a zero?

No.

Tan Li thought that if the self who was so arrogant in the book could have a stable seven-digit pocket money every month, how could she be worse off than the self whose brain was stuck in the door if she went back now?

Impossible!

Tan Li ate all the dishes on the table leisurely...

"Burp~" With a burp, Tan Li was stunned.

Wu Xiu opened her mouth in a daze and uttered with difficulty, "Our Dali has a good appetite. It's a blessing to be able to eat."

She subconsciously glanced at Tan Li's belly, which was slightly bulging under the waist-hugging golden dress.

At the same time, Tan Pei loosened his frown. It turned out that his daughter ordered so much food because she could eat it, not because it was not a waste. There was hope!

Tan Li sighed inwardly, "I'm hungry. I ate a little too much. I'm not like this usually."

Wu Xiu immediately suppressed the thought in her mind and said distressedly, "It's okay, Dali can eat as much as she likes. Your father is not incapable of feeding you."

Tan Pei also said in a friendly manner, "Yes, Dali can eat as much as she likes. Our family will definitely not let you go hungry."

Tan Li nodded perfunctorily.

——Another bad habit to change.

**

Because Tan Li clearly expressed her dissatisfaction with the castle that had no elevator and was ridiculously large, Tan Pei and Wu Xiu, who had just arrived on an international flight overnight, took Tan Li back to the old house in Jiangcheng by plane not long after breakfast.

This time, it was finally a mansion that Tan Li could imagine.

After all, her imagination had been greatly enhanced by the big castle yesterday.

Even without well-trained maids and housekeepers, there were still a few aunts. As for the housekeeper Zhong who came to pick her up, she changed into a more casual outfit and turned into Tan Pei's life assistant.

Swimming pool, indoor gym, personal cinema, basically everything that was in the castle was also available here.

Outside the villa was a large green lawn with white garden tables and chairs, and a beautiful and delicate rose garden. Looking from a distance, you could see half of the roof of the neighbor's house.

Wu Xiu introduced everything to her with a smile, "We can have afternoon tea there together in the future."

Tan Li nodded, "Can I add a lounge chair?"

It should be very comfortable to sunbathe in this place.

Wu Xiu naturally agreed.

Suddenly -

"Mom and Dad, you are back." The smiling voice stopped abruptly when she saw Tan Li.
