Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Excuse me, is this the Li Family villa? I have a delivery for Ms Sheng…”
The movers found their way here based on the address. Before the butler and Old Master Li could react, Sheng Hongfei acted like she was the master of the house and got them to move the things to the courtyard and living room. In the blink of an eye, the cardboard boxes of expensive ornaments and furniture filled up all the empty spaces.
Sheng Hongfei thought to herself delightedly,?As expected, everything is going according to her plan.
Wu Mei and Li Nanchen came back from a walk. They could already see the lively scene from afar. They manoeuvred around a few boxes and said with a smile, “How lively!”
When Sheng Hongfei heard the female voice, she mistakenly thought that it was a neighbor. Just as she was about to raise her head to greet her, she saw Li Nanchen’s figure. She was so frightened that she fell onto the ground. Li Dongjue also looked at him in shock.?Is it a ghost?!
Wu Mei raised her eyebrows with a teasing smile on her face.
Looks like the aggressive drug Bi Fang administered on Li Zhuo was effective. He even forgot to tell Sheng Hongfei and his son about the unforeseen circumstances in the country…
Now that things have escalated to the current farce, it is getting more and more interesting!
Wu Mei flipped through the cardboard box with interest and looked at the detailed list on the order chit. She imitated Sheng Hongfei’s tone and said, “Second Aunt, you’re really polite. You brought so many things with you when you came back. How did you know that I usually like these tasteful ornaments?”
“Ah, they all look quite expensive. How can I accept them?”
“Nanchen and I can just pick two items and move them into the room. Leave the rest in Grandpa’s room. What do you think?”
Wu Mei tilted her head to look at Li Nanchen. He nodded and said, “As long as you like it.”
Sheng Hongfei watched as Wu Mei instructed the butler to move the few most valuable things into the room. She quickly stood in front of Wu Mei to block her way and put on a shrewish attitude as she pointed at Wu Mei and said, “These are our things. What right do you have to move them just like that? I didn’t expect there to be bandits and robbers in the Li family!”
Wu Mei covered her mouth with her hand and glanced at the date on the order chit. She mocked, “Second Aunt rushed back to China from overseas after receiving the news that Nanchen was seriously ill. How could she have the time to buy custom-made furniture and ornaments from 10,000 meters up in the sky? Moreover, she could even pack up and send the furniture back from overseas before she left…”
“I thought you guys were worried about Nanchen’s condition and bought the Li Family gifts along the way.”
When Li Zhuo heard the argument at the ground floor, he hid in the dark and observed the situation. Seeing that Sheng Hongfei was about to say something wrong, he quickly stood up to interrupt her. His arms and chest were wrapped in gauze, but he still maintained his hypocritical image. He smiled and said, “These are gifts to begin with.”
“I was afraid that Nanchen… Old Master will remember the sad past when he sees the familiar environment, so I got them to buy some new ornaments.”
“Perhaps they were too shocked when they saw Nanchen and said the wrong thing in their agitation. Since you like them, move them to the room!”
Li Zhuo called for the movers to help and Sheng Hongfei watched what they were doing. Although she did not know what was going on, she could feel her heart bleeding. After all, everything here was expensive. She walked to Li Zhuo’s side and glared at his side profile in anger. She raised her hand and pinched his waist!
Li Zhuo gasped, causing everyone to look over…
“What’s wrong with you?”
Sheng Hongfei quickly examined his body and realized that he was covered in wounds. She asked with worry in her eyes, “Who beat you up like this?”
Li Zhuo explained the situation they had encountered when they returned to the country. When Sheng Hongfei heard the word gunfight, she could not help but tremble. She looked at Wu Mei, wanting to push the blame onto her. She demanded, “It’s all because of you. Did you deliberately harm Li Zhuo? Looks like you’re just vicious!”
Wu Mei languidly wrapped her hands around Li Nanchen’s arm. She looked up at Li Zhuo and pretended to be aggrieved as she said, “The situation was dire back then. I only injured him by accident because I wanted to save Second Uncle. Since Second Aunt says so, I won’t save him the next time we encounter any danger…”
“I don’t want to be blamed!”
Wu Mei’s words shocked Li Zhuo. He knew that the Li family was currently in the middle of a storm and they might encounter other dangerous situations in the future.
Li Zhuo narrowed his eyes and shook off Sheng Hongfei’s hand. He berated her, “What’s with your attitude towards Wu Mei? If she didn’t save me, I would probably have been dead by now. This minor injury is nothing.”
“Aren’t you going to apologize to her?”
