Chapter 678: Chapter 678: Visiting a Little Pitiful One
“Tutoring, of course tutoring!” Fu Si took the English textbook, flipped through it with his head bowed, and scratched his ear: “I need to find where we left off last time.”
As he spoke, he sneakily lifted his head again.
Seeing Tang Li highlighting key points with a pen in the book, Fu Si grew bolder and pretended to speak casually: “Lucky for you I exposed his lies in time, otherwise, you’d be the one in trouble now. Just look, he even solicits prostitutes, that proves he’s a pervert, he might’ve had his eyes on you from the start.”
Tang Li looked back at him: “So, should I thank you again?”
“…” Fu Si glanced at her: “No need to thank me, just remember this lesson. Especially with these foreign pretty boys, nine out of ten are scammers. He even sleeps with transgender people, just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.”
“Promoting gender discrimination?”
“…No.”
Fu Si pursed his thin lips: “I’m neither against nor in favor, anyways, I’m a straight steel man.”
After speaking, he gave her a meaningful look.
“…” Tang Li.
Fu Si, fearing Tang Li still had thoughts for that foreigner, continued to fan the flames: “The first time I saw his photo, I felt there was something off about him, and now you see, he definitely isn’t anything good. Don’t deal with him again in the future. If he comes looking for you, call me, I’ll have someone teach him a lesson!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Li passed the English book over: “No need for you to teach others a lesson, take care of your own arms first.”
Fu Si: “…”
Tang Li finished tutoring Fu Si without accepting his dinner invitation.
“It’s so late, if not for dinner, where else do you plan to go?”
Fu Si was somewhat displeased.
Tang Li said: “I’m going to visit a little poor thing.”
Before Fu Si could figure out who “little poor thing” was, Tang Li had already packed up her belongings and left the classroom with her backpack.
Leaving the teaching building, Tang Li didn’t go back to Wentan Garden to drop off her books, but went straight to the detention center by taxi.
During dinner time at the Lai Family.
Lai Wenyan’s cellphone suddenly rang.
He picked it up and saw it was a call from Tang Li.
Just after answering, Tang Li’s hesitant voice came through. Lai Wenyan was sitting at the dining table, with his mouth gradually tightening, before he spoke: “What kind of messy friends have you made? If he hadn’t committed a crime, would they have detained him for 15 days? Take care of yourself before meddling in others’ business!”
In the dining room, Lai Shengxia’s eating paused.
She tilted her head towards Lai Wenyan.
Tang Li said something on the phone. Lai Wenyan didn’t get up to avoid the conversation, he directly scolded: “Come home now! Stop associating with such riffraff!”
Having said that, Lai Wenyan hung up the phone.
Lai Shengxia looked again at her father’s expression, which clearly showed anger.
“What’s going on?” Ouyang Qian asked with concern.
“That rebellious daughter, I don’t know what riffraff she’s become acquainted with, soliciting prostitutes and got arrested by police, wants me to pull some strings to get them out of detention.” Lai Wenyan’s face grew even darker: “It’s a crackdown now, does she think I’ve been too comfortable as a Councilman? She’s deliberately causing me trouble!”
Lai Shengxia hadn’t expected Tang Li to seek Lai Wenyan’s help for Ethan.
Before long, Lai Wenyan’s phone rang again.
It was another call from Tang Li.
At the detention center, Tang Li, listening to the busy tone, turned to look at Ethan across from her and quickly hid her disappointment, comforting him with her words: “My dad might be a little busy, don’t worry Ethan, I’ll call him later.”
Ethan had been in the detention center for a day, emotionally exhausted.
