Just like that, I followed Xu Anya into the kitchen.

I didn't really know her. Previously, we were able to get along quite well because she hadn't revealed her true face. But now, we have completely lost all decorum. When I'm with her, I feel so embarrassed that I want to die.

"Is there anything you need my help with? I can be your assistant anytime."

On the other hand, Xu Anya seemed much calmer than me, as if there wasn't any grudge between us.

I could not help but feel speechless. I sighed inwardly, not daring to trouble this young miss of the Qian Jin. "No, I can do it myself."

"Why are you so foreign to me? No matter what, you and I have already known each other for a while."

Xu Anya didn't seem to be satisfied with my performance. She took out the ingredients from the fridge while talking to me. Her tone wasn't polite at all, as if we were really familiar with each other.

Thinking up to here, I couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. The hand holding the kitchen knife trembled slightly, as I really couldn't play such a scheming game with her. I looked at her and said, "Miss Xu, there are no outsiders here.

"Why do you think that? I don't have any prejudice against you."

The moment I said that, Xu Anya immediately glared at me, as if she was very dissatisfied with my words.

Seeing this, I had nothing to say. I planned to ignore her even though I couldn't see her eyes.

Xu Anya was rather obedient. After seeing that I didn't say anything, she didn't continue to pursue me and disturb me. Instead, she just continued to do whatever she was doing.

At first, I thought she was trying to make something bigger out of herself, but after she had settled down for a while, her wavering heart finally settled down.

Just like this, Xu Anya and I busied ourselves with our respective tasks. The atmosphere in the kitchen gradually started to become harmonious. However, just as all of the dishes were prepared, Xu Anya walked around me and thought to bring the soup out.

Even though I was still busy with the matters in my hands, I noticed her actions and turned my body to the side, purposely maintaining a certain distance from her.

Xu Anya didn't seem to notice this at all as she walked around me to get the steaming hot soup.

However, just as she was about to circle around me once more, she screamed for no reason. After that, I heard a loud bang, and the pot of soup in her hands immediately fell to the ground, spraying out the soup. I subconsciously turned my head to see her sitting on the ground.

"What's going on?"

Before I could react, Li Hui Xiu had already heard the commotion and ran over. She greeted me anxiously, but when she saw Xu Anya sitting on the ground, her face immediately darkened.

He did not dare to delay and hurriedly spread the debris all over the floor. He carefully pulled Xu Anya up, "Xiao Ya, how did you get yourself into this state? Are you hurt?"

Li Hui Xiu helped Xu Anya up and asked warmly.

Xu Anya's face was full of grievance. She silently retracted her arm that was red and swollen, and looked at me with a hesitant expression.

My eyebrows immediately throbbed as I felt a sense of unease.

"Pah!"

My uneasiness had just started when the result came true on the spot. Li Hui Xiu bypassed the debris on the ground and walked straight to my front. After that, he directly sent a slap towards me.

If it wasn't for the fact that I was able to support myself on the table, I had no doubt that I would have been slapped down to the floor by Li Hui Xiu.

"What kind of malicious heart do you have to do this to Xiao Ya?"

I didn't even have time to react before Li Hui Xiu walked up to me and started swearing.

"Auntie, this has nothing to do with Ah Yun. I was careless!"

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Xu Anya pretended to be a good person and advised. However, after she finished speaking, the pained expression on her face became abnormally obvious, and accompanying it was a painful groan that made one's heart ache when they saw it.

I laughed, knowing it was all a trick of hers. What gave me a headache was that I didn't know how to deal with this situation. The most important thing was that I couldn't even stand on my feet right now, so I refuted.

"Who could be so careless as to get hurt like this? Furthermore, Xiao Ya, you have always been very careful in what you do. "Don't speak up for this woman anymore!"

Li Hui Xiu pulled Xu Anya, who had come out to persuade them, behind her back with a protective stance.

I didn't think about explaining, because I clearly knew that Li Hui Xiu didn't intend to believe me from the start. Now that there's such a good opportunity to teach me a lesson, how can I let it go so easily?

"If you know what's good for you, you'd better get the hell out of the Li Clan right now!"

My silence made Li Hui Xiu even angrier. She took a step forward and said fiercely.

"Alright."

I didn't want to stay in the Li family any longer, and I didn't think that once the matter was resolved, we would be able to have a peaceful life after that. Thus, after thinking for a bit, I naturally agreed to Li Huixiu's words, tidied up the mess in the kitchen, took off my apron, and prepared to leave.

However, my straightforward appearance actually made Li Hui Xiu feel uneasy. She took a step forward and embraced me, "What kind of tricks are you trying to play now?"

I felt helpless and looked at her with a headache. I tried my best to put on a kind smile. "No, aunty. If you don't like me, I'll leave now."

As I said this, I walked right around her, but before I could even step out of the kitchen. He bumped into Li Tianyi who came over upon hearing the sound. With a cold expression and an incomparably indifferent voice, he looked at me and asked, "Where are you going?"

His questioning voice made my scalp tingle, and I knew that without his permission, I wouldn't be able to leave. I sighed helplessly in my heart, but I couldn't stand the atmosphere and fearlessly said, "I want to go back to my previous home."

"Didn't you leave that house long ago?"

Li Tianyi saw through my thoughts with a glance and even exposed it without any trace of politeness. I thought, after I rented that house, I lived here for over half a month, and I never thought about living with Li Gangyi for a long time, so I didn't leave.

That was why I had an excuse to escape this terrible situation: "No, there's still some paperwork to be done."

"So?"

Li Tianyi simply didn't care about what I said. He indifferently retorted with a question that left me speechless.

"You want to run away after doing such a bad thing, you're really a cheap woman!" "Come over and apologize to Xiao Ya!"
