Chapter 87: A Scorned Daughter-2

"You really do know how to talk back!! We have been worried about you and asked you where you were but this is how you answered us?!" Xie Xi Yong loudly exclaimed.

Li Lian cast a sideways glance and shrugged her shoulder. "Wow, Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie, you two had been worried about me? That is quite a news."

"What do you mean?" Xie Chong Rang questioned Li Lian's words.

"You two are very worried about me but the first question you asked wasn't about how I am or whether I am in good health, rather a sarcasm. " Li Lian coldly frowned at their overbearing acting.

Xie Xi Yong quickly raged as if his hair was on fire. "You!! Don't twist our answ-"

"I am not twisting any of your words. Thankfully I have a very good memory. Do you need me to rewind your memories? Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie, let's cut into this stupid charade. What do you need from me?"

Xie Hue Lin gasped and quickly ran toward them, with a face like an angel, words like an innocent little child, she tried to meditate between Li Lian and her parents. "Jie-Jie! It's not like that, father and mother have been worried about you! And I was also very worried about you too. Where have you been? We have been searching everywhere when you disappeared!"

Xie Hue Lin clutched Li Lian's hand tightly and smirked as she whispered with a voice that's only both of them could hear. "You have come back, so what? Do you think just once after you appeared on TV, you'll be famous and happily ever after? I'll be kind and inform you first. Mom and dad are planning to put you into a mental hospital."

Xie Hue Lin expected deep glaring anger from Li Lian's eyes, however, Li Lian gave her a cold sharp smile like a frost. "Really? Let me tell you Mei-Mei. I know what they are planning to do."

Xie Hue Lin flinched from her cold smile and clicked her tongue before planning to throw herself and acted as if Li Lian pushed her. 'If people saw her push me now, no one could refute her evilness anymore!'

Nimbly, as if she was familiar with acting weak and being pushed by Li Lian, Xie Hue Lin pushed Li Lian's palm harshly and shut her eyes to fall down dramatically.

However, Li Lian's firm, iron-claw like palm stopped her. With a smile, Li Lian whispered.

"If you are going to act, do it better. Surprise me more. Don't keep on doing the same boorish trick." As she finished talking, Li Lian let go of Xie Hue Lin's hand and moved a few steps back.

Xie Hue Lin could feel a blood-curdling shiver from her words and stood there speechlessly as if a cat got her tongue.

"If everyone here has no other business than this, I will take my leave now. I could not keep up with your games anymore." Li Lian spoke.

Seeing this, He Chang Min reached his hand on her shoulder to stop her. "Lian-Lian, we are not here to orchestrate you. Calm down, we are only here to speak with you and re-"

Li Lian grabbed his hand off her shoulder and coldly threw it off before reprimanding him deeply for his overly friendly tone. "Mr. He, please do refrain calling me Lian-Lian. I find it very displeasing when a stranger calls my name in that way."

He Chang Min's expression darkens with the word 'Stranger' that came from Li Lian's mouth and frowned heavily.

Uncaring about He Chang Min's expression, Li Lian looked toward Xie Xi Yong and Xie Chong Rang before adding. "And your words are very intriguing, not her to orchestrate me? Tell me then, other than luring me here, why did you continue the audition knowing that Xie Hue Lin would win?"

Xie Xi Yong and Xie Chong Rang jolted from her words.

Quickly, Xie Hue Lin retorted to her words with tears on her eyes, looking as delicate as ever. "Jie-Jie, what are you saying? How could that be, I auditioned it with my own skill! And won without someone backing me up!" Xie Hue Lin sobbed.

Hearing Xie Hue Lin speaking about 'Someone backing' He Chang Min's solid frowned look even darker as time passes.

Her parents quickly crowded Xie Hue Lin pitifully and comforted her. "Don't cry Xiao- Lin..."

"Yes, your mother is right! Don't bother yourself any further with that woman's words!"

Li Lian nearly let out a loud laugh. Even though Xie Hue Lin blatantly allude her for having someone to back her up, doe these three people had been blinded that heavily by Xie Hue Lin?

How atrocious.

Li Lian couldn't bear breathing in the same room with these foolish people any longer.
