Embarrassing?

Li Beinian smirked and said, “Since you’ve already said that, I won’t stand on ceremony.”

Li Haoran frowned and stared at him.

“My mobile phone is damaged.”

She whipped out her phone which had an eye-catching cracked screen.

“Didn’t I just get you this mobile phone?”

He had just given Li Beinian that mobile phone yesterday and yet, it was already damaged.

“Yeah, I was too unlucky to have been knocked into by someone and ended up having a great fall. Give me some money to get my phone repaired,” said Li Beinian.

“Hmph. It’s already severely damaged, what else is there to repair? It’s a new phone anyway. I’ll get you a new one.”

Li Beinian stuck her thumbs up at him to reveal her teeth. “Very generous!”

“I’m not short of money!” Staring at her outfit, Li Haoran’s face grew sullen and he questioned, “What kind of clothes are these? Don’t you have other clothes?”

Li Beinian took a glance at her shirt and trousers which she used to wear in the past. They were now tattered and torn.

Li Beinian rubbed her nose and said in a dignified manner, “This is the only set that fits me. There are too many clothes in my closet but they’re either too big or too short. They’re not in my size either.”

Li Haoran knew the reason after hearing her words.

Li Beinian’s clothes were all bought and settled by Fang Zhili. Li Beinian trusted her greatly and also allowed her to go ahead since she was so enthusiastic about it.

However, Li Beinian was tall and thin, so much that there was barely any meat on her.

Li Xueqing’s clothes would be a little large and short for her.

With a sullen expression, Li Haoran walked towards her and gave her a credit card. “Go buy some clothes tomorrow, as well as the things you want. I don’t want others to say that I’ve been mistreating you.”

Li Beinian grabbed the card in surprise.

In her previous lifetime, he did not treat her this well.

However, she was rather obedient after reuniting with the Li Family in her previous lifetime and would comply instead of going against him like she was now.

Did I find a path for myself by trying to take revenge?

Li Beinian asked with a complicated mix of emotions. “What’s the pin number?”

Li Haoran turned around to leave with an uneasy expression. “Your birthday.”

Li Beinian was in disbelief.

My birthday?

“It can’t be.”

However, he did not answer her.

–

Li Beinian freshened up and changed out of her clothes, after which the servant Auntie Jiang called her to go down for dinner.

She arrived downstairs to see that Li Xueqing, Li Haoran and Fang Zhili were seated by the table and were waiting for Li Beinian to arrive.

Li Beinian raised her eyebrows slightly and washed her hands slowly before taking a seat by the side.

Li Xueqing glanced at her and said, “You actually know how to wash your hands. Seems like you’re not that ill-mannered. Why did you do such a disgraceful thing anyway?”

Li Beinian picked up her chopsticks and used it to pick up some vegetables before placing them in her mouth.

“You have no manners at all. You ought to let your elders eat first!” Li Haoran barked coldly.

Li Beinian looked up, expressed assent and said, “Elders, it’s time to eat.”

Li Haoran’s face grew sullen and Fang Zhili hurriedly waved. “Okay, okay. It’s time for a meal. Niannian has just returned home and she’s insensible. Don’t hold it against her.”

“Just returned home? She’s been home for a week and she’s still so rude! Besides, she doesn’t even address me as her father. Those who don’t know might think that we’ve brought an ancestor home.”
