"Nanjue, come here, this is the soup I've been stewing for a day, drink a bowl before you go to the company for a meeting."
Zhan Jiayin smiled gently, and put a bowl of soup in front of Li Nanjue.
Li Nanjue's originally cold and stern outline softened, "You can just tell the chef to do it, why do you cook by yourself again?" He watched Zhan Jiayin put his hand behind his back, guessed something, and quickly pulled her over hand, look carefully.
Seeing the scalded blisters on it, a touch of pity appeared in his eyes, "You...does it hurt?"
Zhan Jiayin shook his head, "I don't feel pain. Washing hands and making soup for the one I love is the happiest thing in the world. How can it hurt?"
These words undoubtedly touched Li Nanjue's heart. When he and Xu Manqin were married before, Xu Manqin never did this, and being able to remember his favorite dishes was considered gentle and considerate.
He slowly sipped the soup specially made by Zhan Jiayin, and chatted with her about the two children from time to time.
"... I was worried that Mayfair would be afraid to go abroad alone, but I didn't expect her to do better than I imagined. I'm so proud of her."
There was a smile on the corner of Li Nanjue's lips, "Fei'er has always been very sensible, unlike Xiaoxiao."
Thinking of the crying eldest daughter on the phone just now, Li Nanjue frowned slightly. Li Xiao has been filming in the crew for the past half month, and has stopped a lot. It's just that before he could feel at ease, there seemed to be another incident on her side, but she didn't say anything specific on the phone, it was vague.
Thinking of this uneasy eldest daughter, Li Nanjue suddenly lost the interest in drinking soup.
Zhan Jiayin watched his expression, "Could it be that Xiaoxiao has something else to buy?"
Thinking of this possibility, Li Nanjue's face darkened, feeling displeased. He just helped her pay for the villa some time ago, and paid off the credit card. It can't be that her credit card is maxed out again, right
The sound of hurried footsteps came from far and near. Li Nanjue raised his head and saw Li Xiao trotting over. He was about to blurt out the words of reprimand, but he saw his daughter's red eyes like rabbits, and there was still a smile on her face. Tears, as if by the great wronged.
The original words were swallowed by him, and he changed his words stiffly, "What happened?"
Holding the recording pen in his hand, Li Xiao didn't say much, and played those conversations directly.
When he heard that familiar voice, Zhan Jiayin couldn't help jumping in his heart, feeling a bad premonition.
Li Nanjue and Ren Xitang had been rivals in love for so many years, so they were no strangers to his voice, so they immediately recognized it. The more he listened, the darker his face became. Although Li Nanjue's affection for Li Xiao is not as good as that of the other two children, she is still his daughter after all, and it is not for others to bully her.
Ren Xitang looked at the scenery and the moon, but he bribed people to harm Li Xiao, and his methods were too insidious. If it wasn't for Li Xiao's lack of affection for Lu Zhi, he might have been fooled long ago, and the Li family would also be implicated by then.
Zhan Jiayin blurted out, "Could it be a misunderstanding? Tang Tang is not this kind of person."
Li Xiao explained how Lu Zhi pursued her during this time, and how she found out about it, and explained the whole process in detail.
Li Xiao cast his cold eyes on Zhan Jiayin, "Does Auntie trust him so much? Then you dare to swear in the name of Dad, didn't he do this?"
Zhan Jiayin opened his mouth, feeling so panicked that he couldn't even utter a word of excuse.
Li Xiao sneered, "Sure enough, you don't dare."
She turned to look at Li Nanjue, her voice choked up, "Although I have a normal relationship with Uncle Ren, I have never been rude to him in front of others. How did I offend him and make him insist on framing me like this?"
The words of Ren Xitang two days ago suddenly appeared in Zhan Jiayin's mind.
"Is Xu Manqin's daughter still bullying you all day?"
"Don't worry, I will protect you."
A thought appeared vaguely in my mind, and gradually became clearer. Yes, Ren Xitang dealt with Li Xiao for her sake. He just wanted to vent his anger on her. She couldn't tell what was in her heart. She was already married to someone else, and he had no hope of that. Why should he do this
Zhan Jiayin took a deep breath and said, "Xiaoxiao, don't be impulsive! Maybe someone provoked you two—"
Li Xiao interrupted her directly, "Really? Do you dare to use Qianxing's lifespan to guarantee that it wasn't done by Ren Qiantang?"
Zhan Jiayin: "..."
Li Xiao continued his efforts, "Do you dare to guarantee Qian Fei's life?"
Zhan Jiayin's face turned pale, and his body was a little shaky. How dare she... Those are her most precious children.
If Li Nanjue saw Li Xiao being so aggressive towards Zhan Jiayin in normal times, he would definitely scold her and ask her to apologize to Jiayin. But now...
He could also think of what Zhan Jiayin thought of—Ren Qiantang framed Li Xiao because of Jiayin.
There was a faint mockery on Li Xiao's face, "Actually, you are not sure, are you? You keep saying that you treat me as your daughter, but you are actually lying to me, right?"
"If this happened to Qian Fei, you would have sought justice for her long ago, instead of racking your brains to defend the perpetrator."
She raised her head, trying not to shed tears, with a stubborn look on her face, as if she was heartbroken but refused to admit it in front of them.
"I was too stupid before. I won't be fooled a second time in the future. Also, I'm not your daughter, and of course I'm not as important as your good friend in your heart." Thick sarcasm.
"No, it's not!" Zhan Jiayin didn't know why the fire was directly on her, and his voice couldn't help but raised his voice, "I just think that maybe someone deliberately framed and framed Tang Tang, and artificially synthesized this recording."
Li Nanjue said in a low voice, "Whether it is artificially synthesized or not can be judged by professionals."
Technology is now advanced enough to be able to determine whether the recording file has been edited or not.
One is his own daughter, and the other is his rival in love who once competed with him. Li Nanjue must be more inclined towards Li Xiao. Therefore, it was rare for him to stand opposite Zhan Jiayin and stand opposite her.
Li Xiao wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, and said to Li Nanjue: "Dad, for your sake, I tried hard to treat her as my relative. Sorry, I still can't do it."
After that, she turned and went upstairs to her room. She was afraid that if she continued to speak, she would lose her temper and reveal her secrets. Acting is really tiring! But the good thing is that she doesn't need to act like Zhan Jiayin in front of Li Nanjue in the future.
Li Nanjue just looked at Zhan Jiayin with heavy eyes. Inevitably, Li Xiao's words had somewhat affected him. Is Ren Xitang so important to her? So important that she would rather choose to hurt Li Xiao
Zhan Jiayin felt that her mouth was bitter as if she had coptis in her mouth. She stretched out her hand and grabbed Li Nanjue's sleeve, "Nanjue, I really didn't mean that."
"It happened so suddenly that I was a little bit overwhelmed."
She took a deep breath, "If Xi Tang really did this, then I will definitely deal with it fairly."
After hearing this, Li Nanjue's face softened slightly, "I also hope he didn't do it. Xiaoxiao has been wronged a lot during this period, if her attitude is not good, please bear with me."
Zhan Jiayin smiled wryly in his heart: Isn't she good enough for Li Xiao? Even outsiders like Ren Xitang could see her wronged, but the man she loved turned a blind eye to it.
Perhaps, it's time for Qian Fei to come back sooner. When Li Xiao was the only child in the family, Nan Jue's heart would be more or less inclined to her.
She sat on the sofa in a daze, and when she came to her senses, Li Nanjue was no longer there. I don't know if I will go to Ren Xitang to settle the score.
In case she is accidentally involved...
The more Zhan Jiayin thought about it, the more flustered he became, and he felt a splitting headache. Ever since Li Xiao woke up from a coma, she felt that she had many problems.
Suddenly, her eyes fell on the recording pen on the table, and she couldn't help being startled. She didn't expect Li Xiao to leave this thing on the table in a hurry just now.
Her hand seemed to have its own consciousness, and she couldn't help picking up the recording pen, looking around - when they had just quarreled, the nanny and the others had already retreated outside. She was alone in the living room at this time. She took a deep breath, and the battle between heaven and man was in her mind. After a while, a determined expression appeared on her face, and she tremblingly deleted the files inside.
She didn't want to do this, but if she left it alone, Xi Tang's fame would be gone. He just thought about it for a while, and he wanted to protect her too much, so he made a mistake. Just take it as repayment for his help to her before.
She will ask Xi Tang to apologize to Li Xiao in the future, and she will treat Li Xiao well and make up for her.
After deleting the files completely, she let out a long breath, only to realize that her palms were already wet.
When he heard the door opening upstairs, Zhan Jiayin subconsciously turned his head and looked over. She saw that Li Xiao had already changed into a set of clothes, her makeup was neat, and she was strolling down the stairs.
Zhan Jiayin stuffed the recording pen under the sofa.
After Li Xiao went downstairs, he looked around, as if he was looking for something.
Zhan Jiayin watched her work in vain, and her aggrieved mood unknowingly eased up, "What are you looking for?"
Li Xiaoman asked casually, "Have you seen my recording pen?"
Zhan Jiayin said: "Didn't you just take such an important thing? I went outside to pick it up just now, but I didn't see it. How about I help you find it together."
Li Xiao looked at her steadfastly, Zhan Jiayin felt a little uneasy under her gaze, as if she had been stripped naked in the sun, with nowhere to hide.
After a while, Li Xiao smiled slightly, "It's okay, if you lose it, you lose it, anyway, it's not the only one."
Zhan Jiayin suddenly felt uneasy.
The next second, Li Xiao opened her bag, which was full of recording pens, "I still have so many recording pens~" She is not an idiot, she must have come back after being fully prepared. In fact, she has a lot of backups stashed elsewhere. She just wanted to test Zhan Jiayin, but she was so stupid that she hid the recording pen.
Zhan Jiayin gasped, his limbs were cold.
"Thanks to you, I just took a good picture. You really have a deep affection for Ren Xitang, and you are willing to lie and deceive others for him. This is probably the so-called caring and chaos. The problem on my father's head The hat is so pretty~" She shook her phone.
Zhan Jiayin's heart instantly sank to the bottom.
The author has something to say: Li Nanjue will definitely not be so cruel to his daughter to his ex-wife.
But the scumbag dad is also going to abuse... Take your time in line one by one, after all, Li Xiao has no money and no connections.
