Chapter 12: The Roar of the Lion in the River East
"Hello, hello, is this Li Xiaoyao?" Ouyang Wanting mustered up the courage to make the call.
"Well! It must be Ouyang Wanting!"
Li Xiaoyao smiled slightly and already recognized Ouyang Wanting's voice. Her voice was as clear and sweet as an oriole's.
"Xiaoyao, what dad said is over, you go pick up girls!" Li Wuya smiled a little ambiguously.
"My son is so awesome. He fell in love with a beautiful girl on the first day." Leng Wuyan gave Li Xiaoyao a thumbs up.
Li Xiaoyao walked to his room speechlessly, holding the phone with a happy face.
"Xiaoyao, have you gone home or are you injured?"
After Ouyang Wanting returned home, she kept praying that Li Xiaoyao would be fine. She thought about countless outcomes in her mind. The most likely possibility was that Li Xiaoyao was severely beaten by those people.
"Wanting, don't worry, your brother Xiaoyao is very powerful, how could anything happen? Don't worry!" Li Xiaoyao said with a smile.
When Ouyang Wanting heard that Li Xiaoyao was fine, she couldn't help but smile, "Well, I hope you're fine. My mother is back. I'll call you next time!"
"Ouyang Wanting, you prodigal girl, why is your bicycle like this! Why didn't you die outside!" A roar came from outside the door.
Ouyang Wanting quickly hung up the phone. At this time, her stepmother Liu Xiaomei had kicked open the door angrily, cursing.
"Don't argue. If it's broken, it's broken. As long as everything is fine, it will be fine." Ouyang Wanting's father advised.
······
Early the next morning, Li Xiaoyao was already dressed. After breakfast, Butler Leng suddenly reminded: "Master, today is Saturday and school is not in session."
Li Xiaoyao couldn't help but was slightly surprised. He had been training in the army for a long time and was used to resting on Sundays. He didn't expect that school was actually a weekend holiday.
"Uncle Leng, please help me check someone out. I want to know the specific address of her home."
Yesterday, Ouyang Wanting heard yelling and cursing from the other end of the phone. Although she didn't know why her mother was so fierce, Li Xiaoyao was still a little worried.
Li Xiaoyao drove for about half an hour and finally arrived at a suburb of City H. The roads here were bumpy and the streets were narrow and crowded.
Looking up at the old apartment building, Li Xiaoyao took out his phone.
···
"Damn girl, you are not allowed to eat today. Kneel down on the washboard and reflect. Your father bought this bicycle frugally. Now look at what it looks like. The entire front wheel is completely crushed.
Even if it needs to be repaired, it will cost a hundred dollars. Fortunately for you, a new bicycle has only been used for less than a week and it is already looking like this!"
Liu Xiaomei is about forty years old, and is over 1.70 meters tall. She is pretty, and her figure is exquisite. However, her temper is directly proportional to her beauty. At this time, she was sullenly lecturing Ouyang Wanting.
"Mom, I really didn't mean it. It was Li Huanran who bullied others. He hit my bicycle with his BMW and I was almost crushed under the car." Ouyang Wanting said aggrievedly.
In the narrow living room, Ouyang Wanting and her family were all sitting on the sofa. Only Ouyang Wanting was forced to kneel on the washboard. She had been kneeling for half an hour, and her knees were all red and swollen.
"Hmph! Then how come you were lucky enough not to be hit to death? Why didn't he hit someone else but hit you instead?" Liu Xiaomei Hedong Lion roared.
"Mom, you are right. I think she must have seduced Mr. Li, but he didn't like her and crashed her car instead." A girl about the same age as Ouyang Wanting said bitterly.
"How could you do this! Ting'er definitely didn't mean it, Xue'er, don't say so hurtful, she is your sister after all!" Ouyang Hong felt heartbroken when he saw his woman kneeling on the washboard.
"Shut up! You can't make a penny now, and you bought her an 800-yuan bicycle. Now it broke down in a few days. How on earth can this family survive? Xue'er and I work hard to support you.
Two, is it easy for us?" Liu Xiaomei roared, tears streaming down her face.
Although Ouyang Hong is the head of the family, he lost his right to take charge of the family two years ago. In that car accident, Ouyang Hong lost his legs. For an ordinary construction worker, this meant a desperate situation.
Liu Xiaomei and Ouyang Xue worked in an electronics factory making electronic originals and could not make much money in a month. What's more, Ouyang Hong was now a drug addict, so life was even more difficult.
Suddenly, an old-fashioned copycat mobile phone rang a shrill ringtone.
"Hello!" Ouyang Wanting answered the phone.
"Come out! Beauty, I'm downstairs at your house!" Li Xiaoyao's voice sounded.
"You're still in the mood to answer the phone. I'm so angry." Liu Xiaomei snatched Ouyang Wanting's cell phone.
"Mom!" Ouyang Wanting finally couldn't bear it anymore and cried aloud in grievance.
"Hey! What's wrong?" Li Xiaoyao heard the screams and crying and asked hurriedly.
"Boy, don't try to date our Ouyang Wanting, hang up." Liu Xiaomei yelled angrily and hung up the phone.
