Having said that, Tang Li threw the scissors on the ground.
She grabbed the necklace from the table edge, ignored Lai Shengxia clutching her neck, and walked straight away from the terrace. Just as she reached the entrance, she was met with a slap in the face.
Tang Li was caught off guard, and by the time she reacted, her left cheek had already been struck.
The furious rebuke from Old Madam Lai followed: "Who let you in? You've already moved out of the household registration, what right do you have to come to the Lai Family? You jinx, after causing such harm to Yuanyuan, you still dare to bully my other granddaughter! How can your heart be so malicious!"
With that, she raised her cane and slammed it down hard on Tang Li: "Your father can't discipline you, so I'll do it myself! I might as well beat you to death here, better than letting you continue to bring disaster to the Lai Family and to others!"
Tang Li reached out and grabbed the other end of the cane.
