Chapter 28

Tan Li tilted her head.

Fine hairs stood up on Fu Yunyun's back, and her heart beat uncontrollably faster.

"Then don't listen." Tan Li didn't understand why Fu Yunyun looked frightened. "You are such a big child, you will always have your own ideas."

Fu Yunyun thought Tan Li was threatening her the last second, but she was stunned when she heard such a sentence.

What is the real daughter's way?

Although Tan Li looked down on Ying Xu and felt that he was a great mismatch with her own excellent employees, if Fu Yunyun was willing to get rid of this helpless Adou, she would also praise Fu Yunyun for sacrificing herself for others.

But...

what does this have to do with her?

She is a person who respects other people's choices very much.

The detours that should be taken in life will not be shortened because of other people's advice, and the walls that should be hit will always be broken and bloody before giving up.

Every person she has met, including herself, is like this, without exception.

Fu Yunyun saw that Tan Li's eyes suddenly became vague, and she subconsciously felt a little scared.

Things did not develop according to her ideas, and she bit her lower lip unconsciously.

When she was still struggling whether to say something else, Tan Li suddenly turned around and patted her on the shoulder.

"Come on!" Tan Li clenched his fist towards her.

Fu Yunyun: ???

She felt like her brain was filled with paste. How could she not understand what Tan Li meant?

Fu Yunyun was still thinking hard, while Tan Li had already slumped back into the sofa and said no more.

**

When Tan Pei and Wu Xiu returned to the banquet hall together, they keenly noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange.

Specifically, everyone was consciously or unconsciously glancing at the corner where Tan Li was, but at the same time, no one dared to step forward.

Tan Pei's eyebrows slightly raised.

He seemed to see scrutiny and fear in the eyes of these guests.

Wu Xiu was not as sensitive as he was. She looked around and pursed her lips.

Before she was pulled away by Tan Pei, Tan Li stayed in that corner. After the couple had a brief discussion on the issue of transferring Wu's shares to Tan Li, Tan Li still stayed in that corner.

Fortunately, there was a little girl around to chat with.

Wu Xiu was just wondering which girl had such good taste—

Fu Yunyun? !

Wu Xiu was just half relieved when she immediately raised her voice again.

"Da Li!" Wu Xiu hurried forward, "Why are you sitting here alone?"

Fu Yunyun stood up, polite but distant, "Hello, auntie."

Wu Xiu couldn't control the knot on her face, and reluctantly responded, "Yeah, OK."

Tan Li looked at the two of them curiously.

This was the first time she saw Wu Xiu openly dislike someone.

Tan Li looked at Fu Yunyun curiously: What did you do to her?

Somehow, Fu Yunyun understood the meaning of Tan Li's eyes.

She pulled the corner of her mouth. What could be the reason? Isn't it because she is not the daughter of the eldest wife?

Wu Xiu herself is lucky. She was born rich and loved by the whole family. When she grew up, she also had a good husband who was devoted to her. Naturally, she looked down on the old-fashioned style of the Fu family.

But she didn't think about it. If there was a choice, who wouldn't want to live a life like hers.

Wu Xiu didn't like the Fu family, and she didn't like Fu Yunyun, who was born to the fourth wife of the Fu family. But she didn't know that Fu Yunyun didn't like Wu Xiu either.

"Then aunt, you guys chat, I won't disturb you." Fu Yunyun maintained her superficial politeness and stepped back gracefully.

Wu Xiu's face didn't relax until she saw her walk away.

The Fu family had a chaotic family tradition. They still had concubines in this era. The girl from this family was not even born to the legal wife. How could Wu Xiu feel at ease letting this kind of person have contact with Tan Li?

But Wu Xiu didn't want to dirty Tan Li's ears by talking about these dirty things.

While she was struggling, Ying Xu, who had changed his clothes, returned to the banquet hall.

He stared at Tan Li.

...

Tan Li tried to raise the corners of his mouth, but the arc was only halfway up and fell down.

Bullshit about love and peace!

If you look at me again, I'll dig out your eyes!

Maybe because she had just stretched her muscles, Tan Li couldn't control her temper and glared back at Ying Xu fiercely.

Because of his background, Ying Xu has been highly respected wherever he goes since he was a child. Even during those years when he was in the entertainment industry, no one dared to look at him with such eyes.

Tan Li's eyes are fierce, and he is even more fierce!

Wu Xiu saw Tan Li staring straight in one direction, and couldn't help but look in the direction of her line of sight -

Ying Xu.

Ying Xu, who used to be in the entertainment industry, was criticized for his acting skills, temper, and everything about him by netizens, but the only thing that could not be said against his conscience that he was not good-looking was his face.

Especially his affectionate eyes, he was so affectionate that he could even look at a dog and pull a thread at a blade of grass.

Wu Xiu looked at Ying Xu, then at Tan Li, and it seemed that they only had each other in their eyes...

"Ah..." She covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming.

But this...

Wu Xiu hadn't figured out what to do yet, and Tan Xinman had already caught up with Ying Xu from behind.

"Ying Xu, don't forget what you just promised me." Tan Xinman warned in a low voice.

Ying Xu gritted his teeth, "...Okay, Manman, I'm doing this for your sake."

"But don't forget what I just told you, it was definitely Tan Li who leaked the fact that you are not a biological child of the Tan family. She just wanted to use this to force uncle and aunt to publicly acknowledge her identity!"

"Such a sinister and cunning person with deep scheming, you are so kind, don't be fooled by her."

In response, Tan Xinman could not hide her perfunctory response, "Okay, okay, I got it."

Although they were some distance away and the banquet hall was noisy, Tan Li still heard the conversation between the two clearly.

Tan Li: ...This stupid kid was fooled by Fu Yunyun, but he has a rich imagination.

Thinking of this, Tan Li felt ashamed of herself for glaring at Ying Xu just now.

She actually argued with such a little brat, if they knew, they would laugh their heads off!

Tan Li quickly corrected her attitude, and twitched the corners of her mouth amiably towards Ying Xu and Tan Xinman.

Then, she turned her head away, pretending not to see it.

Wu Xiu's hearing is not as good as Tan Li's. In her eyes, the picture has changed -

Tan Li was looking at Ying Xu affectionately one moment, but she was sad because of the appearance of Tan Xinman the next moment.

One man, two women.

There will always be a loser!

And among these three people, isn't the loser obvious? It can only be Tan Li who dares not even look at her for a second!

Wu Xiu was so anxious that she was spinning around. She missed Tan Li's childhood and teenage years. She wanted to make up for it from the beginning, but it was too difficult for her to face her daughter's emotional problems so suddenly!

"Da, Dali..." Wu Xiu hesitated again and again, "Ying Xu... The boy from the Ying family has feelings for Xin Man, so we won't force it."

"If you like this type, mom will definitely find you someone better than him!"

Tan Li:...Ah? ? ?

Silence is the bridge tonight.

But Wu Xiu's expression was too serious, and Tan Li burst out laughing.

"Okay, mom, I'll listen to you, mom." Tan Li said seriously.

[Hehe, I can beat ten of those soft-footed shrimps with one punch. ]

Wu Xiu's anxious expression was stuck on her face:?

[Hahahaha, me and that little weakling, hahahaha, what are you thinking! I'm dying of laughter! 】

This was the first time that Wu Xiu heard Tan Li's unbridled laughter, even though she didn't show it on her face, she still looked well-behaved and obedient.

An indescribable feeling filled Wu Xiu's heart, and she couldn't help laughing along with Tan Li.

However...

Wu Xiu hesitated for a moment: Should she tell her dear daughter that hitting people is illegal?

Moreover, what on earth did Tan Li, a little girl, go through to talk about hitting people so naturally?

Thinking about it, Wu Xiu's eyes turned red uncontrollably.

On the other side, Tan Pei had already learned from others what Tan Li had just done.

It would be a lie to say that I wasn't surprised.

Although not all young men can fight, but...

Ying Xu is too useless to be pressed to the ground by a little girl and can't get up.

Tan Pei felt complicated for a moment.

The eldest son of the Ying family was such a brilliant and talented person, standing out among the younger generation. The older generation of the Ying family were also outstanding. How come a child like Ying Xu, who doesn't fit in, mixed in with them?

He didn't agree when Tan Xinman and Ying Xu were in love at first, thinking that this boy from the Ying family was not worthy of the girl he had carefully cultivated.

But Tan Xinman seemed to have her own considerations. Seeing that she had her own plans and didn't seem to be fascinated by Ying Xu, Tan Pei let her do what she wanted.

But this did not prevent Tan Pei from thinking more than once, how great it would be if it was the eldest brother of the Ying family who was with Tan Xinman at the beginning.

However, later, accidents happened one after another, and now no one mentions the name of the eldest brother of the Ying family anymore.

Tan Pei couldn't help but feel regretful.

As for the fact that Tan Li beat Ying Xu in public...

Tan Pei didn't have any thoughts.

Although the investigation report on Tan Li did not mention any relevant information, it is not a bad thing for a little girl who grew up in an orphanage with no one to protect her to know how to protect herself.

On the contrary, compared to the timid Tan Li in the investigation report, Tan Pei himself admired the Tan Li who dared to take action.

Even if this occasion was not appropriate.

But, her last name is Tan.

Let alone a young boy like Ying Xu, even if she faces the former head of the Ying family, as long as she dares, the Tan family will be her support.

Although Tan Li sat lazily on the sofa, after all, due to years of habit, even if it was not intentional, she still paid attention to the surroundings.

At this time, she noticed that Tan Pei's eyes looking at her were different from usual...

[Did the old man take the wrong medicine? ]

Unlike the sound of serious talking, the unscientific thing of mind reading does not consider the distance and environmental sound, and goes straight into Tan Pei's ears.

Tan Pei: ...

He silently retracted his gaze, as if nothing had happened just now.

But inexplicably, a competitive spirit arose inside: One day, I want Tan Li to call him dad in her heart!

**

With the return of Tan Pei and Wu Xiu, the banquet hall became peaceful again.

But men, women, old and young slowly separated and gathered in groups.

Tan Li glanced

at them indifferently: Are these people here playing Candy Crush? While complaining, she was unknowingly surrounded by some wealthy wives and young masters and young ladies who followed reluctantly.

"Wu Xiu, your daughter looks so much like you?"

Wu Xiu was overjoyed when she heard it, "Like me? Really!"

"Yes," the other party was good at observing and talking, "Your daughter doesn't look like you. It's only natural that she looks like you!"

"Hehe~" Wu Xiu held her face coquettishly.

"Your name is Tan Li, right?" Another person looked at Tan Li, "Auntie will just call you Xiao Li, okay?"

Before Tan Li could say anything, Wu Xiu had already corrected her, "Not Xiao Li, call you Da Li."

The other person obviously paused, "Da... Da Li?"

His tone was full of disbelief.

Which little girl calls her in such a... rough way?

Wu Xiu nodded seriously, "Yes! Our Dali said that she is very strong."

"This is really special, ha, ha..." Although everyone present didn't understand, it didn't stop them from laughing and showing their support.

Tan Li looked around but smiled without saying anything.

There is one thing in common between the real world and the infinite flow world.

That is, as long as you are strong enough, others will tolerate everything about you, even if they can't understand.

But at the same time, there will always be people who can't see the difference in strength.

For example -

"Dali? Who came up with such an ugly name?" I don't know if it's because he loves to be lively in his bones, or if his brain is really stupid. Seeing that there are many people around Tan Li, he ignored Tan Xinman's obstruction and came over again.

...

Several people immediately looked at the expressions of Tan Li and Wu Xiu.

Wu Xiu pouted: Even if you don’t like it, you shouldn’t hurt other people’s feelings.

As for Tan Li -

everyone saw the corners of her mouth slowly curl up, revealing a... particularly gentle smile.

It was like the look of an 80-year-old lady who had experienced a lot of things, when she looked at other people’s ignorant and naughty children.

Radiating a kind light.

Everyone: ???

"Xiao Xu you..." Wu Xiu was about to express her opinion, but Tan Li quickly held her down.

Tan Li: "It’s okay, it’s okay. If you don’t like it, don’t shout. It’s okay."

Everyone: ...Is she mocking me? Is she being weird?

Although Ying Xu was stupid, he was not so stupid that he could not understand the indescribable expressions of everyone around him, "You!"

"Hey, don't be angry, don't be angry, if you get angry, no one can replace you!" Tan Li used the same trick she used to persuade Fu Yunyun, "It's not good to have nodules even if you don't get angry!"

Ying Xu's face instantly turned the color of liver.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a figure in the corridor outside the window, and his eyes lit up.

"Brother!!"

With his surprised voice, everyone was shocked -
