Chapter 332 - 313: Third Wheel-III
Li Jun Wei smiled at the people in the table, his eyes still at Mrs. Jin who also smiled with him in order to hide the displeasure she felt to her smart mouthed nephew. Before Mrs. Jin took a seat, Li Jun Wei continued, "she is very much like you auntie, I could see how you would look when you are still young."
Mrs. Jin grip tightened above her skirt, on the place where she settled it to be. Instead of taking the word as offense, Mrs. Jin agreed, "I also often heard about that. When I was young, people often called me beautiful and I am happy to hear that Nu Yuan is similar to me when I was young."
Madam Li spoke, "we should have asked the guest to come before the race, it would be much better if they could see the race."
"We still have dinner together, we could speak there." assured Master Li for Madam Li to nod. The family continued to chat, most conversations were about people and often time was works that was brought to the table. Jin Suzheng came only later after while the other younger cousins didn’t come and seemed to be attending something different.
When the time of dinner came, Li Lian and Li Jun Wei together walked to the dining room and Li Xiao Chen followed them. "Sister don’t you think Zi Lingyu is very similar to you?"
Li Lian thought she did look almost similar to her, the ways she dressed, and there was the time when she noticed the woman shifting her position as if to follow her sitting position. Frankly it felt very uncomfortable to her. "Why do you think she is similar to me?" she asked.
"The way she dressed and her hairstyle. Her body shape and height is also similar to you. If you two walked from behind, I don’t think I would be able to differentiate you two." Li Xiao Chen then furrowed his brows, "in the past I remembered Linyue to look differently. She had a brown colored hair that was short, did she grew in time and colored it black? Or was it black in the first place?" Li Xiao Chen kept on questioning and he met Li Lian’s eyes, "Something’s wrong?"
"Xiao Chen, are you alright?" Li Lian questioned and Li Jun Wei beside her also gave a look to him as if agreeing to ask the question.
"I am... what’s wrong?" He replied with question.
"No, I just feel you are a little out of it today." replied Li Lian. Most of the time, Li Xiao Chen would be joking here and there, speaking to everyone but he was strangely quiet on the table, saying things very little. Unless Li Xiao Chen felt sick, or that he was in a trouble that affect him to be in his thoughts the entire day.
Li Xiao Chen brought a hand and pointed himself, "me?" and seeing Li Lian nod, Li Xiao Chen recall his day to notice that he had indeed been too quiet. The reason was Violet’s words to him, saying that he was innocent. It was weird for him to be conscious about the word but he couldn’t get the words out of his head.
