Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Lai Shengxia Returns to China

Not long after returning to the dormitory, Tang Li’s cellphone rang.

She had just come back from washing her hands in the bathroom.

The ringtone kept repeating, and Tang Li stood in front of her desk, staring at the screen that displayed [Lai Sheng Xia], for a long time without pressing the answer button.

To her in her past life, this name was a never-ending nightmare until death.

What about this life?

Tang Li didn’t know.

Just looking at the three characters of Lai Sheng Xia, she felt a sensation of suffocation.

This feeling was just like the moment before her death in her previous life when a bullet penetrated her skull, and before her pain sensors could even react, she had already lost her breath.

Her pupils dilated gradually, no longer held hostage by the kidnapper behind her, her entire body collapsed heavily to the ground.

"Ah Li?" Wu Xuehan’s voice came from behind her.

Tang Li turned around instinctively.

Wu Xuehan was sitting on the bed eating a rou jia mo, looking over with concern: "Why aren’t you answering the phone?"

"I’ll answer it now." Tang Li shook her cellphone.

After saying this, she opened the door and went out to answer the call.

Standing in front of the bathroom sink, Tang Li brought the cellphone to her ear.

From the earpiece came Lai Sheng Xia’s clear and pleasant voice: "Why did it take you so long to answer? Were you in class?"

"...No." Tang Li answered after a few seconds.

Whether in her previous life or this one, ever since she returned to the Lai Family, the only ones who hadn’t openly made things difficult for her were Lai Sheng Xia and her mother, Ouyang Qian.

Had she not later learned that Han Jifeng had always been deeply in love with Lai Sheng Xia, and that the two of them had been a couple since university, and had she not witnessed Han Jifeng and Lai Sheng Xia’s intimate interactions with her own eyes, she might have forever believed that Lai Sheng Xia was a close and caring older sister, not the third party who stole her husband.

But even so, what could she do about Lai Sheng Xia taking him away?

When Han Jifeng became successful and Lai Sheng Xia returned to the family after her divorce, in everyone’s eyes, they were a match made in heaven, a love regained.

As for her, she was nothing more than a nuisance.

Just like Han Jifeng’s classmates and friends who had never looked up to her, repeatedly mentioning Lai Sheng Xia in front of her.

Back then, she knew nothing of Han Jifeng’s past relationship and thought they were just old classmates catching up.

By the time she understood more and more, thinking back on these people’s contempt and disrespect, it became a resentment that she couldn’t let go of, even in countless sleepless nights.

Every morning when she woke up, as she needed to use both hands to move her numb left leg off the bed, then grab the crutch from beside the bed, and struggle to support her body to stand up, the word hatred was almost etched into her flesh and marrow.

"Your brother-in-law and I returned to the country last night, and we went back to the Lai Family in the afternoon," Lai Sheng Xia said on the other end of the phone: "I brought gifts for you and Yuanyuan. I wanted to send them to your school, but your brother-in-law had a lot of things to do and suggested we should all have a meal together, to welcome us back home."

There was a hint of sweetness in Lai Sheng Xia’s voice as she mentioned Qin Yansheng.

Tang Li’s lips also turned upwards.

She looked up at her reflection in the mirror, her facial features calm, revealing no emotion: "Brother-in-law is right. You just got back; a welcome back meal is a must."

"Should I ask the family driver to pick you up from school?"

"No need, I can go back on my own."

Lai Sheng Xia said: "Alright then, we’ll wait for you to come back and have dinner together."

Returning to the dormitory, Wu Xuehan sensitively noticed that Tang Li was in an unusual mood: "Whose call was that? Is there something wrong?"

"The family asked me to go back for a bit."

As Tang Li spoke, she winked at Wu Xuehan: "I’ll bring you a gift when I get back."
