Chapter 46 - 46 Li Xiwu Is Here To Avenge Xie Wen!

46 Li Xiwu Is Here To Avenge Xie Wen!

Xie Wen pursed her lips tightly. Then, she adjusted her emotions as quickly as possible and looked back at Li Xiwu as if nothing had happened. “Miss Li, the living room… Why don’t you sit in my room for a while?”

It was too noisy in the living room. It was all the sound of mahjong tiles, the shouts of Zheng Yuehua and her mahjong friends.

Li Xiwu did not say anything. She nodded and followed Xie Wen in with her mummy bag. Zheng Yuehua was focused on playing mahjong and did not see Li Xiwu enter. It was Auntie Wang who gave Zheng Yuehua a look to remind her that she was here.

Zheng Yuehua turned around and recognized Li Xiwu at a glance. She greeted her warmly, “Aiyo, Miss Li is here too.”

Li Xiwu called out, “Hello, Auntie.”

Zheng Yuehua mistook the mummy bag in Li Xiwu’s hand for a gift and immediately stood up to welcome Li Xiwu. When she got closer and realized that it was Xie Wen’s mummy bag, Zheng Yuehua laughed dryly. “Ha.”

Li Xiwu: “…”

Xie Wen explained, “Miss Li sent me back. I invited her up to sit for a while.”

Zheng Yuehua waved her hand. “I see. Then you guys chat.” With that, she turned around and sat down at the mahjong table. When Xie Wen entered the room, Zheng Yuehua reminded her in a neutral voice, “Remember to make lunch early.”

Xie Wen replied, “Got it.”

Another round of mahjong was over.

Auntie Wang asked, “Sister Zheng, is the Miss Li you just called a teacher?”

“What teacher? She’s Xie Wen’s former manager. Little Xu said that’s what the entertainment industry calls managers,” Zheng Yuehua said as she rubbed her cards.

Auntie Liu said, “She looks a little familiar.”

Zheng Yuehua snorted. “We participate in this in-law variety show with Miss Li and her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law doesn’t know anything. It’s ridiculous.”



In the bedroom.

Xie Wen carefully placed her daughter on the bed.

Li Xiwu noticed that there were barriers beside the bed, probably to prevent the baby from falling off the bed when she turned over. The bed and the ground was also filled with toys. It looked quite messy, but it was understandable. Houses with children can’t be neat and tidy.

Seeing Xie Wen stand up, Li Xiwu asked, “Has Zheng Yuehua always treated you like this?”

Xie Wen wiped her palms on her clothes and went to the table to pour water for Li Xiwu. When she answered, her voice was slightly bitter. “It’s fine.”

After pouring the water, she handed it to Li Xiwu. “Here, Miss Li.”

Li Xiwu took it with a cold expression. “From a little girl who doesn’t know anything to a housewife who knows everything. Only you should know how much hardship you’ve suffered in between.”

Xie Wen smiled bitterly. “Yes.”

Li Xiwu sipped half a glass of water. She set the glass of water aside. “Xie Wen, did I mention that you’re the most hardworking person I’ve ever met?”

Xie Wen looked up at Li Xiwu. “You did.”

Li Xiwu looked straight into Xie Wen’s eyes. “Likewise, you’re the most disappointing person I’ve ever met.” As soon as she finished speaking, she saw cracks in Xie Wen’s eyes. Li Xiwu knew that she shouldn’t say this, but her heart was too heavy. She took a deep breath and instructed Xie Wen, “Stay with Shenshen. Leave the rest to me.”

Xie Wen was puzzled. “Miss Li, what are you doing?”

Li Xiwu smiled but didn’t say anything.

In the living room.

Auntie Wang had no choice but to leave first because her family had something urgent to discuss with her. This time, there were only three mahjong friends left. Zheng Yuehua was affected and complained.

When Li Xiwu came out, she happened to hear Zheng Yuehua’s complaint. At this moment, Auntie Zhang also stood up. “Sis Wang has left. I’ll go back and make lunch. I’ll come back in the afternoon.”

With that, Auntie Zhang left. Only Zheng Yuehua and Auntie Liu were left. Zheng Yuehua began to speak ill of Auntie Zhang and Auntie Wang. Auntie Liu nodded in agreement. “Yes, yes, yes. That’s right.” The two of them laughed until their teeth were visible.

Li Xiwu walked over and sat down. “What are you two aunties talking about so happily?”

Zheng Yuehua and Auntie Liu stopped smiling. Zheng Yuehua looked at Li Xiwu, who had sat down. “Miss Li, why are you out? Aren’t you chatting with Xie Wen inside?”

Li Xiwu smiled faintly. “My hands were itching when I listened to the sound of mahjong inside.”

Zheng Yuehua’s eyes lit up. “Miss Li knows how to play mahjong?”

Li Xiwu nodded. “A little.”

“You’re too humble.” Zheng Yuehua immediately greeted her. “Miss Li, how about the three of us play a few rounds?”

Li Xiwu nodded. “But I’m not good at mahjong. I’m probably going to pay my tuition fees. Aunties, please show mercy.”

Zheng Yuehua’s eyes narrowed into slits. “Don’t worry, I’ll give in to you.”

When Xie Wen came out and saw that Miss Li had not left and had even joined her mother-in-law’s mahjong game, she was puzzled for a moment. However, after hearing Li Xiwu’s words, she stayed inside with Shenshen in peace.

For the first few rounds, Li Xiwu kept losing money.

Zheng Yuehua and Auntie Liu’s faces were almost twisted with laughter. Zheng Yuehua even comforted Li Xiwu, “It’s fine. You might not have played mahjong for too long. It’ll be fine after a few more rounds.”

Li Xiwu nodded in agreement. In the next few rounds, Li Xiwu began to win again.

Zheng Yuehua was still very happy. She thought that she had gone easy on Li Xiwu and said to her, “Miss Li, look, I’m right, right? You got used to it after a while. You’ll be able to win back the money you lost to us soon.”

The little girl was still a little young. There’s no way you’re going to win back the money that’s in my pocket, Zheng Yuehua thought smugly.

However, the following situation was completely out of Zheng Yuehua’s control. After Li Xiwu lost a few rounds, her mahjong skills suddenly became extremely exquisite and she won. Not only did she win back the money she lost to Zheng Yuehua and Auntie Liu, but she also won a lot from them.

Zheng Yuehua’s face turned green.

During this period, Li Xiwu took her phone and ordered food from a high-end restaurant. At the same time, she bought a golden necklace from a gold shop on WeChat and delivered it quickly. Her private note said that it could not be mentioned that it was a necklace.

The necklace was delivered first. Li Xiwu excused herself and said that it was eye drops as her eyes were too dry. When she entered the bedroom to apply the eye drops in the mirror, she placed the golden necklace in Xie Wen’s mummy bag.

The dishes were also delivered one after another. Xie Wen carried them in. Li Xiwu raised her voice and said, “I ordered it. It just so happens that the Qingwei Pavilion has an anniversary discount today.”

Zheng Yuehua was unhappy that she had lost money. When she saw that Li Xiwu had ordered lunch and it was from the Qingwei Pavilion with an excellent reputation, her expression became much happier. However, she did not forget to scold Xie Wen. “I told you to make lunch early. Look, Miss Li has spent money again.”

Li Xiwu smiled. “It’s fine.”

Xie Wen did not understand why Li Xiwu did this. But she soon understood. After lunch, Zheng Yuehua pulled Auntie Liu and Li Xiwu to sit down and made up her mind to win back the money she had lost in the morning.

Li Xiwu sat down and continued to play. Finally, at the end—

Li Xiwu won a few rounds consecutively and was numb from winning. She won a total of more than 15,000 yuan. Auntie Liu couldn’t hold it in anymore. She hurriedly shouted to stop, saying that she wanted to go home. If she continued to lose like this, she wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight.

Li Xiwu looked at Zheng Yuehua. “It’s a pity that Auntie Liu left first. Otherwise, we could have played a few more rounds.”

Zheng Yuehua’s face was ashen and she did not say anything. When the time came, Li Xiwu suddenly turned around and asked Xie Wen, “By the way, Xie Wen, didn’t you go to the jewelry shop to buy a necklace for Auntie?”
