Chapter 122: Mom, We Met Mrs. Xu Today

Chapter 122

Everyone guessed Uncle Fatty's intention, knowing that he was aware of what type of person Master Yuanjing was, yet he deliberately introduced him to King Yama Liu.

Notably, King Yama Liu was Uncle Fatty's sworn enemy.

A deviation from normal behavior often indicates a problem.

If Uncle Fatty intended to mend fences with his nemesis by introducing Master Yuanjing to King Yama Liu, nobody would believe this explanation.

Everyone was stunned by Uncle Fatty's cunning move.

Shi Li was kept in the dark, unaware that Uncle Fatty knew she was wearing the metaphorical green hat of a betrayed lover.

Therefore, in her view, Uncle Fatty's intention was rather straightforward, without any deeper purpose.

However, Shi Li also felt quite moved: "Isn't this ironic? Although Uncle Fatty has been planning to exact revenge on Liu Yanwen for years, he now seems to want to reconcile. Introducing his precious Master Yuanjing to the enemy: now that is a revenge plot."

"Master Yuanjing's character is well-known to Shi Li, but perhaps not to others."

In her past life, aside from studying, Shi Li loved to read all sorts of gossip tabloids. Master Yuanjing wasn't necessarily a powerful figure. However, he established relationships with many wealthy people and seduced many high-class women. His most famous scandal was his affair with General Huang's wife, which led to their divorce.

Several tabloid editors speculated that despite being a fake monk, he must possess some special attributes.

Shi Li believed in and was incredibly curious about these special attributes.

"If he is just a fake master, it's not a big deal. The problem is that he is a fake master with a habit of seducing people's wives. Everything is different now."

"Rumor has it that the relationship between Liu Yanwen and his wife is subpar. At this point, a handsome and robust master steps in."

"Hmm ... interesting."

Shi Li's muttered comments clearly reached the ears of everyone nearby. This shocked Song Ying, whose cheeks flushed crimson at such brazen words.

As she blushed, she feared that if the others heard Shi Li, they might mistakenly think she herself was an improper girl.

Song Ying sighed heavily, burdened with worries that were too much for her young age to bear.

Meanwhile, Uncle Fatty was a little humble during his conversation with Liu Yanwen, to Liu's satisfaction.

The four of them had a pleasant conversation and agreed to communicate again in a couple of days.

Shi Li, who had been sneakily observing from the sidelines, could foresee Liu Yanwen potentially getting cuckolded by Uncle Fatty.

Seeing that the drama was over, Shi Li decided to return to Huang Jie with Song Ying.

Upon their return, they found that Huang Jie was no longer at the table, presumably having left to chat with an acquaintance.

Huang Jie wouldn't get lost, so Shi Li wasn't worried about her.

Though Huang Jie had left her seat, Second Young Master Fu of the Fu Family was still sitting at the table, with his inseparable partner Bai Qianqian nowhere in sight.

After sitting down, Shi Li glanced around before asking him, "Where is Sister Qianqian? I don't see her."

"She wasn't feeling well and went to the restroom," he replied.

Shi Li nodded knowingly, "So, she went to the restroom."

Since she arrived, Song Ying's mouth hadn't stopped moving. Her eyes were drawn to the beautifully arranged cake on the table, and she reached out decisively to bring a piece toward her small plate.

Shi Li lightly tapped her hand's back, "Don't eat too much in the evening, it's easy to get indigestion, especially these high-fat high-sugar desserts."

Shi Li had lost track of how much food this girl had consumed in one night.

Although the banquet's food was free, and it's a waste not to eat it, one still couldn’t just recklessly indulge in a feast.

Song Ying looked up at Shi Li and smiled softly, "I won't eat any more."

In fact, she had felt full for a while but due to a childhood habit formed from hunger, she felt a desire to eat more whenever she saw free and delicious food.

"You should drink some plain water. Don't drink any more beverages, eating too much sugar can lead to diabetes."

Song Ying nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "I know."

It was rather odd since after declaring to Bai Qianqian that Song Ying was her sister, Shi Li really started treating her as if she was her own younger sibling.

Shi Li had cast herself into the role of a guardian, and Song Ying naturally became the one who needed care.

Second Young Master Fu watched the sisters interact with keen interest. Being classmates with Shi Li's cousin, he had quite an understanding of the Shi Family, and naturally knew that although these girls appeared to be cousins, they were in fact unrelated by blood and had only recently met.

He found their interaction to be interesting, and couldn't help but watch them with a mischief smile.

However, his mischievous smile interpreted by Shi Li came across as: "Why is Second Young Master Fu smiling like a grinning husky?"

Fortunately, he couldn’t hear Shi Li’s mental note, but Song Ying who could hear her mental voice just happened to be drinking water.

Suppressing the urge to spew water across Fu Family's second young master's face, she accidentally inhaled water into her windpipe, causing her to cough loudly.

"What's wrong now? Not a child anymore but still can't even drink water carefully?"

Song Ying waved her hand indicating she was fine, noting mental not to be alarmed while drinking.

She then cleaned the water splotches across her face with the napkin handed over by Shi Li.

It wasn’t until Song Ying had tidied up everything Bai Qianqian returned from the bathroom.

Bai Qianqian’s hands still had water droplets, she asked the Second Young Master Fu for tissues from her small bag. As she wiped her hands she laughed and greeted Shi Li, "Where have you two sisters gone? You disappeared when I only blinked."

Bai Qianqian had quite a needy personality, she enjoyed close contact with others.

Sadly, whenever she approached her, it always discomforted Shi Li who felt like she had been crawled by a slug.

"We bumped into an acquaintance and went to say hi."

When Bai Qianqian came closer, Shi Li unmistakably smelt a soft and elegant white floral scent, which resembled Bai Qianqian herself.

Inside the subtle floral scent, there were also traces of men’s cologne.

Not having smelt any fragrance from Second Young Master Fu, it was obvious where the scent originated from.

Sun Shouli probably sprayed the perfume to mask the smell of old age.

Finally, the banquet ended, and Huang Jie returned home empty-handed with her two daughters.

It can't exactly be said they returned empty-handed, as Song Ying filled herself with snacks, and Shi Li with melons.

"There was nothing suitable at the venue today, I will buy you something nice next time."

Shi Li didn't care much, "You should rest, I don't like using things others have used."

Sitting in the co-pilot seat, Huang Jie turned back and glanced at Song Ying who was obediently fastening her seatbelt behind her.

"Xiaoying, do you want to stay at your aunt's house today, live with your sister, or should I ask the driver to take you home?"

Song Ying weighed her options in her heart, wondering which choice would cause less trouble to others, she then said, “Please ask the driver to take me home.”

"Alright," sighed Huang Jie, "Let's have the driver take you home first, you must be exhausted today."

Because Shi's Grandmother, an elder in the family, sometimes stays at the old house, it would be disrespectful for Huang Jie, her daughter-in-law, not to pay a visit.

So, Huang Jie and Shi Li followed Song Ying into the old house.

Shi's Grandmother had already gone to her room to rest, and uncle and aunt were not in the living room. Although the living room lights were on, only the Youngest Uncle Shi and Hong Yan were present.

Neither Hong Ya and the Youngest Uncle Shi were liked by Huang Jie, but she had to greet them upon entering the room. Compared to Hong Yan, who she disliked more, Huang Jie chose to greet Youngest Uncle Shi.

Youngest Uncle Shi respected his sister-in-law immensely and asked with a smile how their day was.

"It was very fun!"

Song Ying took up the conversation.

Song Ying then said, "We also met Xu General's wife today."
