Chapter 20: Falling Through
Fan Lingxin stared at the chair next to Li Xia, but she did not take the initiative to sit down and stood dumbly.
Looking at Fan Lingxin acting meekly, Fan Yazhu furrowed her brows.
Fan Lingxin glanced at her aunt and saw her displeased face. She noticed that she had acted inappropriately by standing still and sat down promptly.
Tang Xinyue spotted the location of Fan Lingxin's seat and panicked. She, too, sat beside Li Xia in her past life, and he had stood up and went to the bathroom with an expression full of disdain.
This memory engraved itself onto her mind, never to leave it.
Li Xia noticed that Fan Lingxin sat next to her. He readied his legs to stand up, but noticed that his wife was uncomfortable in her own house.
"Hmm..." He decided not to walk away in the end.
Tang Xinyue stared at the scene in front of her eyes. She clearly saw Li Xia's legs jerk a little before they halted. That meant that he intended to stand up and leave.
Why did he stop?
Bewildered by this change of events, Tang Xinyue continued observing the situation.
Because Li Xia did not head to the bathroom, the relatives had no chance to provoke Fan Lingxin, and continued acting amiably.
Soon after, Li Xia proposed that they should leave.
Fan Yazhu clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction. She didn't get the chance to trick Fan Lingxin into gathering Li Xia's brother's information.
Tang Xinyue watched in disbelief. That's it? There's no drama?
How... did this happen?
Li Xia and Fan Lingxin stood up, the two heading outside.
Tang Xinyue sat up straight, letting out a sigh of mixed emotions. On one hand, she felt relieved that nothing bad happened. On the other, jealousy sprouted within her.
She stood up and swiped the dust off her dress.
As she took one step, the wooden floor creaked.
"This floor is... unstable." She hurriedly walked toward the ladder.
Suddenly, the floor gave in, her foot going through. "Ah!"
Upon hearing the sound, Li Xia and Fan Lingxin found the voice familiar. Their curiosity led them to walk back and see what the source was.
Everyone else had also stood up from the dinner table. The loud sound effectively eliminated the heavy atmosphere.
As all of them looked up, they saw a single leg protruding through the ceiling.
The leg moved around, wood and dust falling as it attempted to bring itself back up.
Fan Yazhu panicked and asked for the maids and guards to rush to the attic. Who was trespassing their house?
Before long, however, the leg was followed by another, similar leg. "Ah!"
