Chapter 357: 112: Handsome Counterattack, Revealing the True Face of Li Xianxian_6
Li Yanran said: “I’m not stirring up trouble for no reason! This is a bet, since Xianxian agreed to it, she should fulfill it as promised!”
Li Xianxian lowered her head, her hands tightly clutching the corners of her dress, embarrassed in a way she hadn’t been since that incident with the Mo family.
Everyone’s gazes cut into her like knives, every look was like a torture.
Ni Yang!
That horrible Ni Yang was to blame for all of this!
It looks like this malicious woman couldn’t be allowed to stay!
As long as this woman was around, she couldn’t get her head up high!
“Yanran, enough of your antics!” Li Tingzhi’s voice suddenly turned stern.
Ni Yang laughed and spoke, “Yanran, in this world just as there are gentlemen, naturally, there are also villains. We should be broad-minded and not bicker with untrustworthy people, right?”
If someone wants to commit such lowly behavior, Ni Yang would allow it.
Whether she dances or not, Li Xianxian would lose face today either way!
Hearing this, Li Yanran laughed lightly, “Yangyang, you’re right, why do we bother with petty people?”
Li Xianxian bit her lip, raised her head to look at Li Tingzhi, and said with a pale face: “Tingzhi, I’m feeling a bit unwell, I’m going home early.”
Li Tingzhi said in a worried tone: “I’ll send you home.”
“No need, I want to be alone for a while.” After saying this, Li Xianxian turned around and left directly.
Li Tingzhi walked up to Li Yanran and said angrily: “Yanran, do you realize that you went too far just now! Xianxian is our guest, look at what you’ve reduced her to!”
Since Ni Yang was a guest, Li Tingzhi couldn’t directly point fingers at her, so he indirectly criticized his own younger sister instead.
“How have I gone too far! I was just abiding by the bet!” Li Yanran said: “Brother! The one who’s being unreasonable is you! You know that Li Xianxian is a guest, but Yangyang is also a guest who I invited.”
Li Tingzhi choked up, “Anyway, you’re not allowed to treat Xianxian like this in the future!”
Li Yanran got tired of dealing with her confused elder brother and, pulling Ni Yang aside, she walked away, “Yangyang, let’s go over here.”
The two sat in front of a small flower bed, where Li Yanran began to tell Ni Yang about the past between Li Xianxian and Li Tingzhi.
“My brother is a man who values substance, the reason he is so protective of Li Xianxian is because of her talent. Although Li Xianxian’s character is questionable, she is indeed talented. I remember she wrote a poem called ‘Mountain Moon’ that was particularly good.”
“Mountain Moon?” Ni Yang raised an eyebrow slightly, “Yanran, do you remember the content?”
Li Yanran thought for a moment, then said: “I once came by moonlight, solely because you were in the mountains…”
Ni Yang continued, “The mountain breeze brushes against my hair, my neck, and my bare shoulders. The moonlight dresses me in radiant garments, the moonlight dresses me in radiant garments.”
Just as Li Tingzhi happened to be passing by, he was surprised, “Miss Ni, you also appreciate Xianxian’s poetry?”
Li Yanran looked at Ni Yang in shock as well.
Ni Yang laughed and said: “Li Xianxian’s poem? When did this poem become Li Xianxian’s? If I remember correctly, this is clearly Xi Murong’s poem.”
In Ni Yang’s previous life, she clearly remembered Xi Murong’s existence, and that Xi Murong had been famous all over China in ’81, but in this life, there was no news about Xi Murong at all.
It is unclear whether this is due to the butterfly effect brought about by reincarnation.
However, it was disgusting that Li Xianxian blatantly claimed others’ work for her own.
“Nonsense!” Li Tingzhi’s face changed, “Miss Ni, even if you have an issue with Xianxian, there’s no need for you to insult her like this! Do you know how important a reputation is to a girl?”
Ni Yang looked indifferent, and continued: “Li Xianxian told you that she wrote ‘Mountain Moon’, but did she also tell you that ‘Mountain Moon’ was selected from a poetry collection named ‘Seven-Miles Scent’, which not only contains ‘Mountain Moon’ but many other famous poems? And ‘Mountain Moon’ does not end at ‘the moonlight dresses me in radiant garments’, there’s another part following it.”
The reason Li Xianxian didn’t write the following part was likely because she only read the first half of ‘Mountain Moon’.
Always ready to fan the flames, Li Yanran asked: “Yangyang, what’s the latter part about?”
Ni Yang continued: “New greenery appears in the forest, just like my youthful appearance. Youth is transparent like strong liquor, drinkable, able to be drained, able to part ways, but eventually, how many things we two have exchanged as the stars shifted…”
Li Tingzhi’s face grew increasingly dark, for he had never heard Li Xianxian recite this last part.
Could Li Xianxian actually have plagiarized?
Li Yanran shook her head, “Tut tut, Li Xianxian is such a hypocrite! Does such a thing! Shameless!”
Li Tingzhi couldn’t accept this blow and subconsciously defended Li Xianxian, “There must be some misunderstanding…”
“Mr. Li is a smart man, whether there is a misunderstanding or not, you should be clear in your heart.” Ni Yang added, It was better to leave things unsaid here, otherwise, it could backfire.
Li Tingzhi stumbled away from the back garden.
After Li Xianxian left the Li family, she headed to a public phone booth.
“Mother.”
The coldness in Li Xianxian’s voice coming through the phone gave Li Shu a shudder.
“Xi-, Xianxian, what happened?” Li Shu stuttered in fear.
Ever since Ni Yang left Dam Village, Li Shu had been unable to eat or sleep properly, afraid that Li Xianxian would discover the truth.
“Did Mu Yang leave Dam Village?”
“No, no…” Li Shu wiped the cold sweat off her forehead.
“How long are you going to keep lying to me?! What did I tell you! Why did you let her leave Dam Village!”
Li Shu hastily explained: “Xianxian, listen to me! It’s not what you think, I really tried my best, but you need to understand that it’s difficult to go against the will of others…”
Li Shu recounted the events that had happened in Dam Village to Li Xianxian.
After hearing the events, Li Xianxian narrowed her eyes, “She is quite capable!” She even managed to enlist the help of a city official.
Li Xianxian continued: “Mother, do you want to live a good life in the city?”
“Xianxian!” Li Shu exclaimed joyfully: “Are you finally going to bring me to the city to live a good life?”
“Mother, now you have more than just one daughter.”
Li Shu furrowed her eyebrows, “Xianxian, what are you talking about? Apart from you, how many daughters could I have?”
Li Xianxian said: “Didn’t you already marry Mu Jinbao? Then Mu Yang is also your half-daughter, as your daughter, she should fulfill her obligation of supporting her parents and elders. Mother, Mu Yang is now doing well in the city, she has opened four noodle restaurants and has become quite wealthy!”
Wealthy!
Li Shu’s eyes lit up immediately!
She didn’t expect that little wretch Mu Yang to now have such ability!
It seems that she was going to live the life of a rich wife in the future.
The thought of this brought Li Shu much excitement.
Li Xianxian continued: “Mother, you don’t need me to teach you what to do, right?”
“No, no,” Li Shu laughed: “Xianxian rest assured, this time I promise not to disappoint you.”
