Chapter 23: Appointment To Meet
Although Fang Meixian thought Li Weiyin was a bit fierce today, she was her mother, so she was not afraid at all. She grabbed her phone and pressed the dial button, but her hand was covered in water and the screen did not register her touch.
Li Weiyin stood up, held her hands behind her back, and said leisurely, "The Li Family is currently in the limelight. If the public finds out that a mother reported her own daughter to the police, I'm sure we can make it on the headlines. I wonder if Dad will be angry when he hears about it."
Fang Meixian, who had been desperately trying to dry her fingertip, froze. Her fingertip floated above the screen of her phone but she did not press down.
Li Weiyin glanced at her, "Are you still calling the police?"
Fang Meixian trembled in anger. Her gaze was like a knife that wanted to pierce through Li Weiyin's body.
But, Li Weiyin did not mind. She lifted her head and looked at the sky. The weather was clear without a single cloud in the sky and it made her feel comfortable
She knelt down again with a sweet smile. The sun fell on her soft pink lips, making her smile even more dazzling.
"That's right, Mother. A harmonious family brings success," she said as she forcefully grabbed Fang Meixian's phone from her hand. Just as she took a glimpse at the phone, she noticed an interesting contact number: 'Mrs. Xu's Personal Assistant (Yang)'.
She pressed the number and made a call. The call quickly connected and a clear male voice answered, "Hello, Mrs. Li."
Li Weiyin was surprised that Mrs. Xu's assistant sounded so young but confident. "Hello, Assistant Yang. I am Li Weiyin. I want to see Mrs. Xu, may I ask when it's convenient?"
"Hello, Miss Li, please wait. Mrs. Xu is in the middle of a meeting. After she's done, I'll ask her for you and give you an answer." His answer was very professional, but he also asked thoughtfully, "Do you want me to call you back on this number?"
"No, my phone number is 18********," Li Weiyin recited her number.
This was the new number she had just registered. Even her fixed phone line had been canceled while she was on her way home. The two canceled numbers were the numbers that Lou Yucheng had.
After speaking to the assistant, Li Weiyin hung up and returned the phone to Fang Meixian. She then turned around and left.
She dragged her suitcase from the living room to her bedroom. This foreign room had a white and blue theme, which was indeed her favorite.
Auntie Hui did not lie to her. It seemed, Li Jinzong had personally arranged this like she said. After all, Fang Meixian would not have wasted any effort on her.
She always knew that even though her father also favored Li Weixin, he never neglected her. Plus, he tried not to be biased when it came to serious matters.
This was the reason why she couldn't completely abandon the Li Family.
In her room, there was a beautiful and romantic French classic dressing table. Li Weiyin looked at the family portrait that sat on top of it: Li Weixin stood to the far left with both arms wrapped around Fang Meixian and one hand on Li Jinzong's shoulder, while she stood to the far right next to Li Jinzong separated by a palm-sized gap.
This was the most intimate photo of theirs, yet she looked like a stranger.
She put down the photo and dragged her suitcase into her closet. However, she did not unpack because she knew she would only be staying for a few days.
Assistant Yang soon returned Li Weiyin's call and arranged to meet the next morning.
After a bath, Li Weiyin caught up on some sleep. When she woke up, she washed her face and went straight to the kitchen. Once again, she was all alone in the house.
She walked straight over to the refrigerator in the kitchen, scanned her eyes across the ingredients, and rummaged through the seasoning cabinet. She already had an idea of what she wanted to cook.
