Chapter 56 - Ying Sheng

Lei Xiao Tong came to the mall to buy gifts for her sister, since tomorrow was her birthday. She had called Yan Mei to accompany her but unfortunately Yan Mei declined since she had an emergency meeting with a foreign client. So, she had to come with her niece Ying Sheng.

"Aunt what do you want buy?" Ying Sheng looked a little impatient, but her attitude was still good. She didn't dare complain because she owed her aunt.

Her aunt was the one who had defended her when she had gotten a tattoo. She shivered anytime she remembered the murderous glint in her father's eyes that day.

Her aunt was not someone who loved shopping so she was curious about what her aunt wanted to buy. Lei Xiao Tong knew her niece had always been impulsive and impatient since she was a child. Wearing a black cotton t-shirt with a gold chain paired with a camo pants and a converse her niece was the typical bad girl with a big snake tattoo on her left arm.

"You stinky girl! No matter how impatient you're, you have to accompany me today. Also, you have to start dressing like a proper lady. How are you supposed to marry into a respectable family with you dressing like this?"

Ying Sheng rolled her eyes when she heard her aunt.

"Aunt, the man who loves me wouldn't mind the way I dress. He would love me for who I am."

Lei Xiao Tong heaved a sigh, "You father said he is arranging a marriage with the Xia family. He would introduce you guys tomorrow so I should tell you to dress properly. Also do something about that thing on your hand."

Ying Sheng widened her eyes, "What?! He is arranging marriage for me? I'm just twenty-one years old!"

Ying Sheng brows knitted in a frown.

"I was pregnant with my first born when I was twenty-one."

"But it wasn't an arrange marriage! And Uncle Lei was good to you!" Frustration crinkled in Ying Shing's eyes.

"I heard the young master of the Xia family is really strange! How can dad let me marry him?'

Lei Xiao Tong stopped and turned to looked at her, "Don't-"

Lei Xiao Tong was interrupted by a soft voice.

"Auntie Lei, are you here too?" Tang Wei was wearing a long white dress that made her look pure and innocent. Her long curly hair dr.a.p.ed down her back.. Although her facial features weren't exquisite, her temperament was great.

"You are…." Lei Xiao Tong saw a woman with an elegant temperament walking towards her and frowned slightly.

Tang Wei wanted to go shopping today for the birthday gala tomorrow she didn't think she would meet Lei Xiao Tong here.

She knew if she wanted Brother Lei to notice her, she had to start from his mother. Getting Lei Xiao Tong's support would make things easier for her! Thinking about Lei Zhao, Tang Wei was excited. She can't wait to have him wrapped around her fingers.

"Aunt Lei, you can't recognize me, Tang Wei?" Tang Wei pouted, her face looking like an abandoned child.

In Lei Xiao Tong's eyes she looked cute but Ying Sheng who was standing beside her aunt rolled her eyes. She felt Tang Wei was too pretentious, hearing her pitiful voice she had the urge to vomit. She had never liked this woman.

Ying Sheng felt she was too pretentious and the scheming look in her eyes anytime she looked at her cousin, Li Wei, didn't go unnoticed by her. She wondered why that stupid cousin of hers liked this white-lotus woman.

"Oh, it turns out to be little Tang. I haven't seen you in a long time. You have really changed over the past few years. You're looking more beautiful." Lei Xiao Tong said as she smiled.

Hearing the alienation in Lei Xiao Tong voice, an unknown glint passed through Tang Wei's eyes. Since she wanted to pleased Lei Xiao Tong to get to Lei Zhao, she pretended not to hear the alienation in Lei Xiao Tong's voice.

Tang Wei looked at Ying Sheng and smiled, "Oh…it's Ying Sheng!"

Tang Wei thought Ying Sheng would say hello to her, but Ying Sheng ignored her and said to Lei Xiao Tong, "Aunt, I'm going to talk to dad. See you tomorrow at the gala."

Without waiting for Lei Xiao Tong's response, Ying Sheng left without glancing at Tang Wei.

Tang Wei saw Ying Sheng ignoring her and dug her nails into her palms to control her anger. She really hated Ying Sheng. She had always treated her like a servant anytime she visited the Li mansion. Ying Sheng used to bully her when they were kids because she didn't want her to play with her cousins. Once she becomes Mrs. Lei she would make sure Ying Sheng pays for all the embarrassment she had put her through!

"Ying Sheng has been spoiled since she was a child, don't mind her." Lei Xiao Tong said breaking Tang Wei out of her stupor.

"It's okay, Aunt. Don't worry I'm not angry. Maybe she had to leave in a hurry."

Lei Xiao Tong nodded when she saw that Tang Wei wasn't angry.

"Aunt Lei, since Ying Sheng left. Let me accompany you for shopping!"

Lei Xiao Tong thought about it and nodded. She could use a second person's opinion.

"Okay."

Along the way, Tang Wei kept looking for topics to talk about with Lei Xiao Tong and she kept flattering her. As long as Lei Xiao Tong liked her, she would ask Brother Zhao to leave that woman and marry her. Thinking about becoming Lei Zhao's wife she couldn't help but get excited.

At first, Lei Xiao Tong was very fond of Tang Wei since she used to come to the Lei's house when she was a kid. Her gentle and sensible manner made Lei Xiao Tong liked her more.

However, with subsequent communication she saw the scheming in Tang Wei's eyes and anytime she mentioned Lei Zhao her eyes would sparkle with an obsessive look.

Lei Xiao Tong knew her son was married now and he really loved his wife so she didn't want to give Tang Wei false hope and she would never allow her to intervene between Yan Mei and Lei Zhao.

The people she hated most were mistresses and people who intervened in people's marriage. She could see how happy her son was these days, and she also really liked her daughter-in-law.

Tang Wei was just an outsider as long as she doesn't do anytime extreme, she won't mind her. But once she dares to destroy their marriage then she shouldn't blame her for being rude.

"Miss Tang, it's okay. My driver is here, you don't have to accompany me anymore." Lei Xiao Tong said as she took her shopping bags from Tang Wei's hands and left without waiting for her response.

"Aunt, wait!" Tang Wei called out Lei Xiao Tong, but she walked out the mall without looking back.

Tang Wei clamped her fingers into her tender flesh until they made self-harm marks as she simmered with anger.
