Wu Xuehan had just left when Ouyang Qian arrived in front of Tang Li. She looked at Wu Xuehan’s retreating figure and asked with concern, “Is that your roommate?”
Tang Li didn’t answer but instead asked, “Aunt, did you come to the wrong school?”

“No,” Ouyang Qian chuckled, “I specifically came to see you today.”
“I’m doing fine, you needn’t worry about me.”
Ouyang Qian fell silent for a few seconds, then said, “Ah Li, are you mad at Yuanyuan?”
“Yuanyuan called me yesterday about the movie,” Ouyang Qian sighed softly, her gaze on Tang Li gentle. “Although Tianyi has a film company underneath, I actually don’t understand much about it, so I only half-understood what she said. But I could tell there has been a misunderstanding between you sisters.”
Tang Li kept quiet, waiting for her to continue.
“Yuanyuan has always been spoiled throughout these years; your father and I both bear some responsibility. Last night, she had a big fight with your father, and it left him with a stomachache all night. It’s just a role, after all. I’ve already lectured her; if your sister likes it, just let her have it. Why damage the feelings between sisters over such a trifle?”
Tang Li curved her lips, looking straight into Ouyang Qian’s eyes, “Aunt is right; Yuanyuan’s favorite thing to do is to stir up trouble at home. But since you’ve said it, Aunt, I won’t hold it against her anymore. As for that role, if Yuanyuan isn’t suited for it, even if she schemes her way into it, it would still be like Zhu Bajie wearing a flower – a plain person doing too much, don’t you agree, Aunt?”
“…”
Ouyang Qian clearly did not expect Tang Li to respond this way.
In the past, before her, Tang Li always lowered her head and called her Aunt; when had she ever been so unrestrained?
Compared to Lai Yuaner, Tang Li, who had come to the Capital seeking her father, seemed unconfident to the point of frowning.
She was a legitimate daughter-in-law of the Lai Family, her father was a retired major general, and Lai Wenyan, who had fathered an illegitimate daughter while away on a mission, had morally defaulted towards her as per both emotion and reason.
After Tang Li moved into the Lai Family home, she treated this child impartially and influenced Lai Wenyan and her mother-in-law to align with her and her daughters.
Like two years ago, the night when Tang Li returned to the Lai Family—
Xiaxia came into the master bedroom, holding her hand, and said, “She’s just a tool discarded by her father after use, and a child born from a tool will never become a proper young lady of the Lai Family. No matter when, just remember, you are the rightful wife of father. You don’t need to distress yourself over somebody unrelated.
Since she’s here now, you should take good care of her, better even than Yuanyuan. The house has many eyes, and how you treat your husband’s daughter is being weighed by them. What you need to do is, when the time comes for these matters to go public, no one can speak ill of you. They will praise your magnanimity.”
Some things she actually understood, yet at that time she couldn’t get over the emotional hurdle.
Later, following her eldest daughter’s advice on how to treat Tang Li, the rest of the family indeed alienated Tang Li even more.
Including Lai Wenyan, who barely glanced at this daughter again.
“That’s because this child is evidence of his marital unfaithfulness. Even if it was unavoidable back then, the result is the same; the better you treat this child, the more guilty father feels towards you, naturally he won’t like this illegitimate daughter.”
Xiaxia’s words still vivid in her memory, yet today Tang Li seemed changed.
She admitted she had been too hasty regarding the incident at the birthday banquet.
Years of accumulated jealousy made it hard for her to breathe.
As strong as she, how could she tolerate an illegitimate daughter usurping her place year after year?
