Chapter 593: Eating Melon

"Why? Li Kun, who is this woman?" Huang Ying's tears streamed down from the corners of her eyes.

An Yinan suddenly realized something; no, wasn't she just here to watch a show?

She certainly didn't want to become a character in the play!

"Me...? An outsider, you can ignore me." An Yinan tilted her head, and an exquisite face appeared right before Huang Ying.

Huang Ying saw that flawless skin, and those large eyes, which at this moment seemed to hold spring water, carrying a sense of grievance.

"You really are a slut, are you that desperate for men? Who knows how many times you've gone under the knife for that face." The little princess exploded; she had just been shedding tears, but now she pointed at An Yinan and launched into a tirade.

Chen Xun's expression darkened. He had just taken a step forward when An Yinan tugged at the corner of his clothes.

Chen Xun's footsteps paused just like that, but the look in his eyes, which wanted to cut someone down, could not be concealed.

His own girl—he protected her, cherished her, doted on her. This was the first time someone had dared to point at Nan Nan and curse in front of him.

"Li Kun, is it for her? Have you treated me as nothing for all these years?" Huang Ying pointed at An Yinan, having just turned her head to look at Li Kun.

Just then...

"Ah..." A huge shriek suddenly rang out in this elegant parlor.

An Yinan bent back her finger, a look of supreme arrogance on her face.

"Little girl, before you fight, you should at least figure out the situation and distinguish who your enemy is."

"And..." She sneered, her voice filled with mockery and arrogance.

"Didn't your parents teach you?"

"Don't point at people with your finger, otherwise..."

She paused. In this parlor, you could hear a pin drop; there was no sound at all, as if time had frozen, and no one dared to move.

Gazes gathered on that dazzling woman's face. The light from the crystal chandelier shone upon her, as if coating her in a layer of fluorescence, making her skin appear even more translucent.

"It will break!"

She enunciated the last two words sharply. Afterward, she dropped the stunned girl, then pulled out a tissue to wipe her hands.

It wasn't that she had intentionally humiliated Huang Ying, but rather...

This girl's hand, she didn't know why, but how could it be so sweaty?

She wiped her hands, and without even turning her head, she threw the tissue behind her; the paper ball landed accurately and unerringly into the trash can.

She sat back on her sofa as if nothing had happened. As long as she wasn't forced to act, she was quite happy to eat melon, after all...

She had nothing else to do, and watching a free movie, a live version at that, was quite nice.

Just at this moment...

Someone beside her handed over a piece of watermelon...

An Yinan looked up and saw Le Rong's smiling face, who even winked at her.

An Yinan thanked her helplessly, "Thanks."

"You're welcome." Le Rong waved her hand, holding a piece of watermelon in her own hand as well. If this were at the Li Family, it would certainly have been cut by servants, placed with small forks, and handed to her.

However...

Gnawing on the watermelon yourself, it felt like it had more flavor; it was much sweeter than the melons at the Li Family.

If An Yinan knew her mindset, she would definitely tell her, "It's not that the Li Family's melons aren't sweet, it's that your son's melon is too sweet."

Two unscrupulous women, one big and one small, just sat on the two sofas like that, watching Li Kun and Huang Ying standing in opposition.

The intense pain just now made Huang Ying look at Li Kun.

"Brother Kun, are you just going to watch others bully me?" Huang Ying asked in disbelief.

She could accept that she was in pain, but she could not accept Li Kun's indifference. That was just a woman, at most a pretty woman.

But...

She was the one who had grown up with him; they were childhood sweethearts. When they were very young, their parents had joked about arranging a marriage between the two families, it was just that she hadn't grown up yet.

How could it be like this?

"Huang Ying, why did you come here?" Li Kun rubbed his temples with a headache, feeling quite irritable.

"Why can't I come? You did something to betray me, and I can't come here?" Huang Ying's hackles were all raised, and she was filled with anger.

"Huang Ying!" Li Kun shouted angrily.

Looking at the girl with a face full of grievance, he sighed and softened his voice considerably, "I only ever treated you as a younger sister."

He didn't want his marriage to become a bargaining chip for the family. He could guard his own heart and not like anyone, but he also didn't want to marry someone he didn't like, just like his father.

He married his mother, but in the prison that was the Li Family, had his mother ever known happiness?

She was a dignified First Madam, she was a sensible First Madam. She wasn't prone to jealousy; even when his father found those mistresses and illegitimate children, his mother would help him cover it up.

But he had watched it from childhood to adulthood, how could he not know his mother's pain?

What was so good about marrying into this Li Family that was like a cage? Losing one's freedom for a lifetime, being like a puppet for a lifetime.

A single phrase, "Family comes first."

Those who should be sacrificed must be sacrificed, those who should be abandoned must be abandoned. Why were people still flocking to such a heartless family?

"Sister? Damn sister." Huang Ying shouted.

"Brother Kun, I don't want to be any sister, I want to be your wife. I've liked you since I was little!"

"Clearly everyone tacitly accepted our relationship, clearly our parents had already decided it, clearly it was all a matter of course, why do you want to change it?"

The little girl couldn't take it anymore, tears streaming down; she looked somewhat hysterical.

She wanted to reach out, but the intense pain made her afraid to forget.

"Is it because of her, right? Is it because of this vixen, right?" Huang Ying didn't point at anyone, but her words were pointed.

An Yinan clapped her hands. Why was she being forced onto the stage again?

"Little girl, I said, don't find the wrong opponent."

"First, I am not a vixen..."

This...

Le Rong, sitting to the side, let out a "pfft" and laughed; she had expected a lecture on reason, but she hadn't expected An An's first sentence to actually be...

I am not a vixen.

This...

"Auntie." Huang Ying looked at Li Kun, then at Le Rong, and only then looked at An Yinan.

Thinking back to when she entered the door and their actions earlier, who would bring their mother along for a secret tryst?

Then she...

Was it a misunderstanding just now?

Previously, all of Huang Ying's attention had been on Li Kun and An Yinan, and regardless of whether it was An Yinan or the people of the Li Family, there were many guards around them.

There were quite a few people in the room.

This resulted in her not seeing Le Rong, who had been blocked by Li Kun.

"Girl Huang Ying, whatever the matter is, can't you just talk it out properly? Look, you're crying like a tabby cat." At this moment, Le Rong no longer had that sense of authenticity, as if she had put on a mask she was accustomed to.

Even the aura around her had changed.
