Chapter 870: Defeated by Cai Xiaotang

Cai Xiaotang thought this, picked up the remaining glass of wine in front of her, and intended to leave immediately after drinking it.

But she didn't expect—a figure suddenly appeared at the edge of the table.

Cai Xiaotang did not look up, assuming it was just someone passing by.

But after waiting a few seconds, she discovered the shadow was still blocking the front of her table, so she had no choice but to look up.

Immediately, she frowned fiercely, revealing an expression of disgust.

"Xiao Tang, is that the expression you give me when you see me? Isn't that too heartbreaking for me?"

Li Beichen teased with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, and sat down opposite Cai Xiaotang uninvited.

"If you don't want to be scolded, get lost."

Cai Xiaotang felt annoyed the moment she saw him, and retorted unpleasantly.

Li Beichen, however, still wore that same smile on his lips; not only was he not the least bit angry, but he deliberately put on a look of lamentation.

"Tsk tsk tsk, seeing you so haggard now, I really feel so heartbroken. I didn't expect that before even going home, Uncle wouldn't even bother to pretend, and would come out drinking with another woman directly?"

"What does that have to do with you!"

Listening to his cool, gossipy tone, Cai Xiaotang's anger was instantly pushed to its peak.

Her reason kept telling her that the person in front of her was doing this on purpose, just to watch a joke!

As long as she ignored him, it would be fine!

But...

Thinking of the scene just now where Luo Wanwan intimately snatched the wine glass from Li Xiao's hand, Cai Xiaotang felt waves of sourness in the bottom of her heart.

Following that, she heard Li Beichen continue: "How does it not concern me? I am a member of the Li Family. Seeing my dear Third Aunt suffer such grievances, how can I stand by and do nothing? Do you want me to accompany you to catch them in the act? Or..."

"..."

Li Beichen paused for a moment on purpose, then suddenly lowered his voice, his tone ambiguous.

"Or, Third Aunt, if you are considering a divorce now, it's not too late. After all, there are so many good men in the world, why hang yourself on someone as promiscuous as Third Uncle?"

Cai Xiaotang took a deep breath; she didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore.

She dropped the wine glass and stood up directly.

"Leaving already?"

The gossipy tone in Li Beichen's voice grew heavier, and then, as if he had suddenly thought of something, he said with a sudden realization: "Right, Xiao Tang, actually, regarding this matter, you could let Li Laoyezi make the decision for you. If you are too embarrassed, I can also help you convey it..."

"I don't need you to meddle in other people's business!!!"

Cai Xiaotang's heart skipped a beat, and she barely managed to suppress her anger.

This matter must absolutely not let Li Laoyezi know!

His health had only just recovered not long ago...

Furthermore, no matter what problems she, Cai Xiaotang, encountered, she didn't need to rely on the elders of the family to back her up!

"How can it be meddling? Aren't we family?"

Li Beichen's annoying voice rang out again.

This time, while he was speaking, he actually boldly tried to touch Cai Xiaotang's hand.

His mouth also became gradually more presumptuous: "If one day you and Uncle can't go on living together, actually you could also consider me. I won't mind that you have already married him; we would still be family..."

"You..."

Cai Xiaotang never expected him to be able to say such shameless words, and her reason instantly collapsed.

Without hesitation, she picked up the wine glass on the table and splashed it fiercely at Li Beichen!

"If you're sick, go to a mental hospital; stop acting crazy in front of me!"

Cai Xiaotang glared fiercely at Li Beichen and turned to leave, feeling nauseated inside.

For a person like this, she felt disgusted just looking at him for one more second!

How was he able to say those things without changing his expression?

Did he think she wouldn't dare to tell anyone, so he was fearless?

Cai Xiaotang moved quickly and had already walked out of the bar.

The commotion between the two of them was not small, and it had already attracted the attention of many other guests.

Li Xiao also heard the noise and turned his head to look over.

But he was only in time to see a figure disappearing quickly.

He froze for a moment, staring blankly in the direction of the entrance, a bit unable to confirm.

Was the person who just left... Xiao Tang?

She came here to drink?

"Li Xiao, what's wrong with you? Are you drunk?"

Luo Wanwan's concerned voice rang in his ear, pulling back Li Xiao's thoughts.

"I'm fine."

Li Xiao waved his hand; although his reason was still there, he had gulped down so much wine just now that his vision was a bit blurry.

However, he shouldn't have seen wrong.

The one who just walked out was indeed Cai Xiaotang.

Did she see him and Luo Wanwan sitting together?

Was that why she left in anger?

It wasn't that...

He had just said that he wanted to be alone for a while.

But Luo Wanwan had said that anyone could sit in this seat, and she had sat down.

His mind was full of thoughts of Xiao Tang, he had no mood to care about her, and hadn't even said more than a few words...

Li Xiao thought this, and subconsciously stood up, about to chase after her.

"Li Xiao?"

Luo Wanwan, however, suddenly grabbed his arm.

"Are you alright? Are you drunk? Shall I have someone help you back?"

As she spoke, she swept a glance toward the corner without a trace.

She happened to exchange a look with Li Beichen, who had just tidied himself up and stood up, and the corners of her lips curled slightly.

Heh...

Cai Xiaotang's heart must be reaching its limit by now, right?

She didn't believe that, to this extent, she still wouldn't mind at all.

Every woman, when it comes to the issue of other women, cannot be completely calm.

It seems Cai Xiaotang's bottom line wasn't as deep as she had thought.

With just a little provocation, she couldn't sit still immediately.

"Li Xiao, are we going back?"

Luo Wanwan thought this, and asked Li Xiao gently once more.

Li Xiao, however, did not speak; he only broke free from her hand, sat back down in his seat in silence, and picked up his wine glass again, as if he hadn't heard a word she said.

Seeing this, a flash of displeasure quickly welled up in the depths of Luo Wanwan's eyes.

That Cai Xiaotang simply wasn't worth him being like this!

In the past, she and Li Xiao could always sit together to drink and chat.

If he had any troubling matters, he would occasionally reveal a few words to her.

But tonight, he wouldn't even say a single word to her!

He didn't even look her in the eye!

Why did Li Xiao give all his special treatment to her alone?

Could he still not see clearly by now that that Cai Xiaotang was just a useless, ordinary woman!!

She was no different from those delicate and troublesome socialites outside!

It was just a pity; she had thought Cai Xiaotang would rush over directly just now...

If that had happened, Li Xiao would definitely have disliked her even more.

But it didn't matter.

It was soon...

The plan was almost successful.

When the time came, she would have to die!

Luo Wanwan's heart was full of hatred, yet she forced her emotions down and sat silently by Li Xiao's side.

Li Xiao remained speechless throughout, only gulping down wine, mouthful after mouthful.

His mind was filled with the image of the glimpse he had caught of Cai Xiaotang leaving just a moment ago.

What was the use of chasing after her anyway?

Even if he explained, Xiao Tang wouldn't believe him.

She didn't trust him at all.

Li Xiao gave a bitter laugh in his heart and downed another glass of wine.

He had never thought that, in her heart, he was someone so unworthy of trust...

At least for tonight, he didn't want to have any more arguments with her.
