Chapter 172: Chapter 172: A Beauty Snake Is Still a Snake

Lai Shengxia sat in the car, and only after closing the car door did she speak, "Ah Li said she wanted to think it over again."

As she spoke, her gaze fell on Lai Yuanyuan, saying in a half-teaching tone: "If you continue with this attitude, even if she originally wanted to sign, seeing you like this might make her change her mind!"

Lai Yuanyuan complained discontentedly: "Sister Wen is my exclusive agent. The fact that I agreed to let Sister Wen take her on was already my biggest concession. It’s not like I should have to coax her as well."

"Did you really think that Sister Wen, whom mother brought in to protect and escort you, would sincerely care about Tianhua’s other artists?" Lai Shengxia retorted.

Hearing this, Lai Yuanyuan seemed to wake from a dream.

She had just been angry that her sister had gotten Sister Wen to sign Tang Li right after she arrived.

She thought her sister wanted to propel that illegitimate daughter to stardom!

But then it struck her, even if Tang Li really got signed by Sister Wen, she wouldn’t have an easy time, as she had countless ways to deal with her.

She had not expected that her sister wanted Sister Wen to sign Tang Li for this very reason as well.

Now that it was out in the open, Lai Shengxia was straightforward: "You are my full-blooded sister. How could I help an outsider bully you?"

Realizing that she had wronged her sister, Lai Yuanyuan clung to Lai Shengxia’s hand, acting coquettishly: "I was too impulsive without thinking things through. Don’t be angry with me, sister. If Tang Li wants to sign with Tianhua, then let her. I won’t stop her anymore."

"Really, you!" Lai Shengxia laughed helplessly: "If you hadn’t cried like that on the phone, would I have come here in the middle of the night?"

"It’s all because of that illegitimate girl bullying me!" Lai Yuanyuan sulked: "I don’t know how she hooked up with the novel’s author, letting the author say she’s the most suitable Ying Xuanxuan. Ever since she arrived, Ruan Jiang has also been finding fault with me at every turn!"

Lai Shengxia began to educate her sister: "So what if she knows the author of ’Original Sin’? A newcomer with no background, do you think it’s easy for her to establish herself in this circle? Once Sister Wen signs her, just give her the cold shoulder, there’s no need for you to compete with her."

"You sound just like Mom," Lai Yuanyuan muttered.

Lai Shengxia sighed and straightened the hair by Lai Yuanyuan’s ear: "Have you ever seen the roses in a garden trying to compete with the weeds by the roadside? You’re already a top-tier starlet in the country. You should be thinking about how to advance further, and not waste your career over petty disputes."

Suddenly, Lai Yuanyuan said: "I feel that this illegitimate daughter has changed."

"In the past, she always kept her head down at home, but now she’s learned to talk back to Dad and Grandma. Apart from kicking out Aunt Wu, at Grandma’s birthday banquet last time, she even talked about getting revenge on our family."

Lai Shengxia remained indifferent: "You said it yourself, she’s just an illegitimate daughter. What big waves can an illegitimate daughter create? If she really harbors hatred for the Lai Family and wants revenge, she’d have to see if she even has the ability to do so."

Late at night after finishing filming, Wu Xuehan, who was nearby, asked Tang Li, "Ah Li, was that your sister who came to see you just now?"

Tang Li smiled: "She’s very pretty, isn’t she?"

"Like a lady from a noble family. But what did she want with you?"

"Baiting me with promises."

"?" Wu Xuehan didn’t understand.

Tang Li drew back the curtain and changed into her own clothes as she came out: "Unwarranted kindness is either a trap or a thief."

As she said this, she turned her head to instruct Wu Xuehan: "A beauty snake is still a snake after all. If you see her outside, it’s best to walk around her."

Wu Xuehan hurriedly nodded her head.

She sensed that Tang Li’s relationship with her family was not very good.

Both returned to their dorm late at nearly midnight.

Tang Li got ready to take a shower, took off her sweater cardigan, and found several missed calls on her cellphone.
