Chapter 380: Coming Just to Vent Your Anger

Cai Xiaotang's expression sank instantly, the words "not happy" practically written on her face.

Li Xiao, however, pulled her hand unhurriedly and walked over.

Noticing someone walking toward them, the Chen couple turned around in unison.

Mrs. Chen's expression became somewhat subtle the moment she saw who was coming.

"Third Young Master Li?"

The man naturally recognized Li Xiao, hurriedly greeted him, and shook his hand very amicably: "I am Chen Rui. My great-grandmother was a fellow villager of the Old Master's father. We met before at the Old Master's birthday banquet."

"Nice to meet you." Li Xiao smiled faintly, his gaze slowly landing on Mrs. Chen, who was standing to the side.

Seeing him looking her over, Chen Rui hurriedly whispered in Mrs. Chen's ear: "Hurry up and greet him, do you still need me to remind you?"

Mrs. Chen snapped back to reality, then hurriedly gave two dry laughs and said: "Third Young Master Li..."

Her expression was shifty, and she didn't dare to meet the eyes of Cai Xiaotang, who was standing beside Li Xiao, for even a second; she was scared to death.

Wasn't it said that there was no affection between the two of them?

What was the meaning of Li Xiao bringing her over!

Could it be that he wanted to settle the score for what happened yesterday?

Mrs. Chen was a bit nervous; thinking of the things she had said yesterday, a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on her palms.

She had just been unable to swallow her anger that an illegitimate daughter of the Mu Family could so easily marry into their Li Family, which was why she...

Just as Mrs. Chen was thinking this, the next second she suddenly heard Li Xiao speak again: "Mrs. Chen, this necklace of yours is quite unique. It looks... as if it's a new model that appeared on some runway and hasn't hit the market yet?"

"Not at all, not at all, it's just an ordinary necklace."

Chen Rui's expression became somewhat panicked, and after glancing at Cai Xiaotang's neck, he was even more shocked: "Compared to Third Madam Li's Deep Sea Eye, mine is nothing but a child's toy..."

"Deep Sea Eye?"

Cai Xiaotang was stunned upon hearing this and subconsciously lowered her head to glance at the sapphire on her chest.

This thing actually had a name?

Seeing that she was somewhat confused, Chen Rui hurriedly explained.

"This Deep Sea Eye is the last piece left behind by a famous craftsman in Europe in the last century. It last appeared four years ago at a private auction. It is said that at the time, a wealthy tycoon spent a huge sum of money to take this necklace away. I didn't expect it to be Third Young Master Li. Such an important necklace, not kept for a collection, but instead given to his wife—from this, it can be seen that the affection between the two of you is truly the envy of others."

Cai Xiaotang tried hard to control her expression, but she still couldn't help but listen in a daze.

This necklace actually had such a background?

Had Li Xiao brought several villas to hang around her neck?

Cai Xiaotang suddenly had the urge to take the necklace off her neck and return it to Li Xiao.

Immediately after, she saw Mrs. Chen, who was beside Chen Rui, look even more spectacular!

She had just mocked Cai Xiaotang yesterday for not having any decent jewelry, and today she was immediately slapped hard in the face!

Cai Xiaotang's mind stirred slightly, and she suddenly realized something.

This guy wouldn't be here specifically to vent her anger, would he?

How did he know about this matter?

Cai Xiaotang scanned the person beside her with some disbelief.

Li Xiao noticed her gaze, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but hook into a tiny arc.

He then continued unhurriedly: "Mrs. Chen, I heard that your brother has had some trouble recently. It seems... while he was being flirtatious outside, he accidentally... had another child. I wonder how you plan to resolve it?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen's eyes widened instantly, and she looked at Li Xiao with a face full of terror.

Her brother had done such a shameful thing; naturally, it couldn't be spread!

Even her husband didn't know!

But how did Li Xiao know!

Cai Xiaotang also looked at Li Xiao with a face full of surprise. Remembering belatedly that Mrs. Chen had deliberately brought up the Mu Family's past yesterday, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

This guy really was here to vent her anger today!

But...

How did he know other people's business so clearly?

He really lived up to his reputation as someone involved in the underworld!

Cai Xiaotang felt incredibly satisfied inside and couldn't help but lower her head and giggle secretly.

Chen Rui also recovered from his shock and said somewhat unhappily: "Third Young Master Li, although I don't know how you know these things, as a major family, discussing my wife's family's private affairs in a public setting is probably not very appropriate, right?"

Chen Rui didn't dare to overly criticize Li Xiao, but he didn't want to swallow his pride either.

Immediately after, he saw that Li Xiao was not angry upon hearing this, but instead put on an expression of sudden realization.

"Not appropriate? Then I was abrupt. Your wife also discussed my wife's family affairs with everyone yesterday. I thought this kind of thing was something that could be talked about casually."

When Li Xiao finished speaking, his eyes were fixed directly on the Chen couple, and a cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Mrs. Chen had long since been scared pale; she pulled Chen Rui's hand and didn't dare to say a single word.

Chen Rui also reacted, knowing that she must have said something she shouldn't have at yesterday's tea party, and hurriedly apologized: "Third Young Master Li, if my wife did anything wrong, I apologize for her..."

"Apologies are unnecessary."

Li Xiao raised his hand coldly: "I just hope your wife can learn to keep her mouth shut in the future. My wife has a good temper, but that doesn't mean I have a good temper."

Li Xiao dropped this sentence, pulled Cai Xiaotang's hand, and turned to leave.

The two walked all the way to the balcony closest to the window before Li Xiao let go of her hand.

Cai Xiaotang was still immersed in what had just happened and immediately asked: "So you brought me here today specifically to vent my anger?"

Li Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing this.

Even though he was clearly venting anger for the person in front of him, he subconsciously denied it: "Not exactly. I just don't like those gossiping women who enjoy discussing other people's family affairs. By the way, I'm telling others to stop provoking you. Doesn't that save you a lot of trouble?"

"That's true..."

Cai Xiaotang nodded in a very good mood, then spoke with rare good temper: "Thank you for today, although... I could have digested this matter myself, but... having someone vent my anger for me is still quite satisfying!"

Li Xiao did not expect her to express her gratitude so straightforwardly; his expression was surprised for a moment, then he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He really hadn't misjudged her; this woman was truly too interesting!

He shook his head in amusement, and seeing two bottles of wine nearby, he reached out and took them.

"Want a drink?"

Li Xiao placed a wine glass in front of Cai Xiaotang.

Cai Xiaotang nodded, grabbed it without hesitation, and looked at the night view outside the window: "This is my first time standing in such a high place... So this is what it looks like when you look down from above..."

As she spoke, she quickly drained the wine glass in her hand in one gulp.

Li Xiao was somewhat stunned by the speed at which she drank, but he did not stop her.

He was suddenly a little curious...

What would she be like... after she got drunk?
