The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 92 - 90: Accountant Li: Good-for-Nothing Scoundrel

Chapter 92: Chapter 90: Accountant Li: Good-for-Nothing Scoundrel

"Pah!"

Li Lihong gritted her teeth, "Who fell head over heels for you? Marriage? Dream on!"

She harshly declared, "Even if I jump into a river and die, I would never marry someone as spineless as you."

Tian Sanzong’s expression faltered slightly, taking a deep breath, "Alright, stop making trouble. I’m not even angry with you, why keep fussing over this?

In the future, it’s just the two of us living together. You keep wanting so much dowry, I’ve given it, but then how will we manage to live?"

He spoke with such righteous fervor that anyone not aware would think Li Lihong and Tian Sanzong were secretly dating.

After all, it involved the dowry.

"You’re spouting nonsense!" Mrs. Li slapped her thigh in anger, "I know Lihong’s mind better than anyone!"

She wanted to say, Li Lihong truly looked down on Tian Sanzong; what they desired was Xiao Chenye.

However, just yesterday she was snubbed by Mrs. Xiao, and today Li Lihong was humiliated by Xiao Chenye. Even if Mrs. Li wanted to clear things up, she had to consider her family’s reputation.

"What’s her intention?" Tian Sanzong cast a sidelong glance at Mrs. Li, "Mother-in-law, enough is enough. If you weren’t so difficult, Lihong wouldn’t have to sneak around with me."

"You..."

"What about me?" Tian Sanzong said smugly, "Besides, the place where we got close was at my house. If Li Lihong was unwilling, could I have brought her there?!"

Li Lihong felt that dealing with such a rogue was futile, unable to clarify no matter how she tried.

Shivering with anger, she stumbled over her words, "No, it’s not like that, I was tricked by Tian Xiaorou."

Tian Xiaorou stood silently on the side all the while.

In contrast to Li Lihong’s desperate struggle, Tian Xiaorou stood there calmly, as if detached from the world.

Upon hearing this, she raised her head, a tear fell, "Sister Lihong, how can you say such a thing about me?

I know you’re upset about not stopping those who came to find my brother just now.

But speaking like this, aren’t you ruining my reputation?"

Tian Xiaorou sobbed, "In the past, when you sneaked into the woods with my brother, I was the lookout outside. I failed just this once and you..."

Upon saying this, the people inside and outside were collectively shocked.

Wen Ran had little contact with these people, though she knew there was something amiss, she hadn’t figured it out yet, only vaguely felt it.

Li Lihong stood up, rushing over to hit Tian Xiaorou, "You little wench, you’re doing this on purpose, you want to ruin me! I just knew it!"

"Oh no! Murder!"

"Enough!"

This time, it wasn’t the team leader, but Accountant Li.

His eyes were bloodshot, voice hoarse, "Isn’t this enough?"

Li Lihong then remembered she still had a father, hurriedly crawling over, clutching Accountant Li’s leg, desperately pleading, "Dad, Dad, you have to believe me, this isn’t what I meant.

I really don’t like Tian Sanzong, please take me home? I know I was willful before, I’m wrong, I’m really wrong, please take me home?"

Accountant Li looked at his daughter, feeling a bit reluctant, but mostly, resentful.

Always messing things up, never achieving anything.

"Enough!" He pushed Li Lihong’s hand away, kicking her to the ground, his voice muffled, "How am I supposed to save you?

It was your mistake, and you were caught in the act. It’s your fate, Hong’er."

Li Lihong couldn’t believe it, "Dad, what do you mean?"

Accountant Li raised his eyelids, forcing a smile, "Speaking of, the in-laws are still hiding over there. Why not escort them out? We can have a private space to discuss the children’s marriage."

the Tian family exchanged glances, barely able to hide their joy.

Mrs. Xiao’s eyes widened, exchanging a glance with Xiao Chenxing; ultimately she couldn’t stand by.

Mrs. Li was annoying, Li Lihong wasn’t any good either.

But...

After all, women are all the same.

She stepped forward, "Accountant Li, isn’t there some misunderstanding here? I always felt..."

"Mrs. Xiao," Accountant Li stared at Mrs. Xiao intensely, "This is our Li family’s matter, what you think doesn’t matter.

Besides, now that both children are at this point, if they’re not marrying, what else can they do?"

Before Mrs. Xiao could argue back, he sneered again, "After all, like your family divorcing and taking in an outsider’s child to bear the Xiao name, not everyone could do that."

Oh wow, trying to speak fairly, and got rebuked.

Mrs. Xiao rolled her eyes, "Okay, you’re impressive. Even a vicious tiger doesn’t eat its cubs; you wretched thing, I’ll wait to see your end.

And, if there’s something, come at me again, dare to badmouth my daughter, I’ll rip your mouth!"

Mrs. Xiao turned, addressing a group behind her, "Let’s go!"

She left first, before leaving, bumped purposely into Accountant Li, followed by Xiao Chenxing’s spit and Xiao Chenye’s fist.

He smiled, punching Accountant Li’s shoulder, "Uncle, at your age, cultivate some moral character."

Accountant Li stumbled, his shoulder went numb halfway, deepening his breath, could only watch as the Xiao Family swaggered off.

Angry, and frustrated.

On the way back, Mrs. Xiao kept cursing, "Ungrateful thing, damn-"

Xiao Chenxing watched his mother, anger boiling over, wanted to tear the Li family apart, but dared not say a word.

Xiao Chenye was bold, tried to speak, immediately received a kick from his mother, quieted down right away.

The siblings’ eyes all focused on Wen Ran.

Wen Ran: "?"

What about it?

Her turn?

"Auntie, don’t be mad," Wen Ran finally gathered her courage, "By the way, just know second sister left, do you know where second sister went?"

"Oh," Mrs. Xiao indeed stopped being mad, switched the topic with Wen Ran, "Why ask such a silly question? I’m her mother, of course, I know.

She went to the Northwest with her third brother."

"What?"

"Yeah," Mrs. Xiao smiled, "The letter says they’re living well now, we’re thinking of visiting during the New Year."

Wen Ran also looked surprised, followed along, "That sounds great, visiting them, seeing for ourselves, we’ll be at ease."

"So," Mrs. Xiao turned her eyes, "You come with us."

Wen Ran was stunned, wait, how did this suddenly turn to her?

Behind her, Xiao Chenye silently raised his hand, "Mom, Xiao Wen said earlier, she’s spending this New Year with us."

Wen Ran couldn’t believe it, turned her head, stared pointedly.

Bro, betrayal?

"Hahaha, really?"

"Really!"

Mrs. Xiao hugged Wen Ran’s neck, "Come on! Go together, heard the Northwest is all grasslands, not much farming, all about herding cattle and sheep. Don’t you want to see it?"
