Tan Li didn’t want to watch it.
Look at those weak and powerless muscles. Isn’t it obvious that he is a chicken even weaker than Ying Xu?
But the people around started to make a fuss.
Tan Li thought about it and said, “Okay, show us your skills.”
The little yellow-haired boy was rushing to embarrass himself, why should she stop him?
People should learn to appreciate the stupidity of others and take pleasure in it.
Recalling what someone once said, Tan Li smiled slightly, with a face full of love and peace.
The group walked into the shooting club.
Fu Yangze asked someone to bring his special gun, wiped it with a cloth, and whistled at Tan Li, “Sister, don’t be fascinated by my skills.”
After saying that, he threw a wink.
Tan Li: …her practice is not enough. She just thinks it is eye-catching and does not find it interesting.
How did that man manage to resist beating to death every fool who crossed his path? Was it because he had a good brain and therefore an exceptionally broad mind?
It’s a pity that they eventually parted ways due to differences in ideas.
While Tan Li was lost in her memories, Fu Yangze had already finished a round.
”Sister Tan, come and see your brother’s results!” His frivolous voice brought Tan Li back from her memories, “Are you impressed? Call me good brother and I will teach you personally!”
As soon as Tan Li looked up, he saw the shooting results on the electronic screen.
7.2, 8.1, 6.8, 9.0…
Despite such a poor result, Fu Yangze looked proud.
”That’s it?” Tan Li asked honestly.
There was a lot of confusion in her eyes: This is not even ordinary, it’s not good enough, how can you still be so confident?
Fu Yangze was stabbed by her gaze and almost got angry, “Sister Tan, you have never played shooting, so you don’t know!”
”Among amateurs, my brother’s results are very good!”
Tan Li looked unconvinced.
As if she had never seen the world! You have the nerve to say that this level is very good.
He is very thick-skinned.
”Are the rest of you no match for him?” Tan Li looked at the others.
Young ladies and gentlemen, why don’t you come out and give them a slap in the face?
But what she didn’t expect was that no one really stood up.
”Fu Er’s spear skills are indeed the best among us.”
”Oh! You don’t understand. I’m not interested in shooting. Why don’t we go ride horses next door and let my brother teach you then!”
”Fu Er, you are such a fool. How could Miss Tan, a delicate girl, like to play with guns? How about I accompany you to the mall to buy bags next time?”
…
Tan Li glanced at Fu Yunyun: Is this the level of the team you organized?
The Book of Life gives you such a high evaluation, can your vision improve a little?
Tan Li sighed and stood up slowly.
She ignored everyone’s gazes and walked straight to the shooting range. Upon seeing this, the club’s waiter excitedly handed her a complete set of equipment.
”Ma’am, the headphones are over here.”
Tan Li said “hmm” casually, but she didn’t wear headphones. She picked up the gun and raised her hand——
“Bang, bang, bang, bang.”
Five shots fired in quick succession.
The loud sound of gunfire filled the entire space. Others couldn’t help but frown or cover their ears, but Tan Li’s expression did not change at all. She was so calm that she seemed not to even feel the recoil of the gun.
The electronic display screen recording the results clearly read:
9.7, 9.8, 9.7, 9.9…
Sure enough, firearms were not her specialty, but that did not prevent her from delivering crushing blows to certain overconfident people.
Tan Li pointed at the electronic screen and asked, “Are you sure you want to teach me?”
For a moment, no one responded.
While everyone was stunned, Tan Li calmly put down her gun, returned to her soft sofa, and leisurely drank a sip of tea.
She also didn’t want to hit the child in the face.
Because this would not only make her feel unhappy, but would also give her the illusion that she was bullying a child.
But it really is…
I couldn’t help it.
Tan Li reflected on herself and realized that it was not easy for her to maintain a loving and peaceful attitude.
Compared to this, the old days were a little better. At least we could play one against one or two against one without any psychological burden.
Suppress by force, life and death are at your own risk.
Tan Xinman was also a little surprised, “Tan Li, you can also shoot?”
”I’ve learned a little bit,” Tan Li said calmly, “but I’m not very good at it.”
Is she here in Versailles?
For a moment, everyone’s thoughts were surprisingly consistent.
Fu Yunyun raised her lips with difficulty, “You are not good at this, Tan Li, you are too modest.”
But her mind raced: Is it too late for her to curry favor with someone else now?
Tan Li: “I’m really not good at it. These are all dead targets.”
”Ha, ha, ha…” Everyone laughed dryly.
In fact, they had heard about what happened at the Tan family banquet that day and knew that Tan Li had trampled Ying Xu under her feet.
Wasn’t it Ying Xu who gave in to Tan Li for Tan Xinman’s sake?
Even Fu Yangze, who had been so arrogant and confident just now, lowered his head and did not dare to look at Tan Li.
His shooting skills, which he was so proud of, were beaten by a little girl who grew up in a civilian family. Even though she was now the real daughter of the Tan family, he still felt ashamed.
Only Ying Xu seemed to be thinking about something.
Because of Tan Li’s presence, everyone suddenly felt that shooting was an extremely boring activity. After all, compared with her results which were still on the electronic display screen, anyone would be completely humiliated by the comparison.
These second-generation rich dandies would never lose face even if they lose anything.
While everyone was still looking at each other, wondering what to do next, Tan Li was relaxed and contented.
As long as she is given a comfortable sofa, recliner or bed, she can lie there until the end of time.
Fu Yunyun glanced at Tan Xinman and Ying Xu quietly, rubbing her fingers, seeming a little hesitant.
But after a moment, she made up her mind.
”Tan Li, I see you don’t seem to be very interested in shooting. Do you want to go to the horse farm next door to play for a while?” Fu Yunyun said warmly, “After all, this is a game set up for you, so it’s more important that you have fun.”
Tan Li: “No need, I’m very happy here.”
Fu Yunyun choked.
”You guys have fun by yourselves, don’t worry about me.” Tan Li was very generous.
Someone quickly asked, “Are you worried that you won’t have fun because you don’t know how to ride a horse?”
”It’s okay. There are professional riding teachers here who can teach you.”
Tan Li looked at the man with a smile and said nothing.
Fu Yunyun rolled her eyes at that brainless man. Why did he have to provoke Tan Li, who was obviously a hidden talent?
Being hit in the face while shooting is not enough. What if you are also slapped in the face while riding a horse? Will that be a good scene?
”Tan Li likes to sit here, so she can sit here,” Fu Yunyun said sympathetically on Tan Li’s behalf, “Then let’s play our own game.”
As she spoke, she made a suggestion, “How about going hunting in the back?”
”Okay!” As soon as the voice fell, Fu Yangze was the first to respond, “What’s the point of playing with dead targets here? Let’s go to the back and shoot live ones!”
Compared to his listless appearance just now, he looks much more energetic now.
”Tan Li, why don’t you come too?” He even extended an invitation to Tan Li.
Fu Yunyun’s eyes darkened and she said, “Second brother, didn’t Tan Li just say that she wanted to sit here? It’s not right for a gentleman to force a lady like this.”
It seemed that she didn’t want Tan Li to go with her.
It would have been fine if Tan Li didn’t notice it, but she did!
Take the initiative to rebel.
”Then let’s go together,” Tan Li said with a smile, “We have nothing to do anyway.”
Fu Yunyun choked again.
Tan Xinman was a little worried, so she lowered her voice and asked, “Can you ride a horse? These people love excitement, and they might want to go into the forest farm. If you are not good at riding, you might feel uncomfortable.”
”Don’t worry.” Tan Li replied calmly.
Her gaze stayed on Fu Yunyun for a moment. Although she had said before that Fu Yunyun could do whatever she wanted and she would not interfere, but…
It is not easy to find another excellent employee like Tan Xinman who was taken advantage of. For the time being, she does not want anything to happen to Tan Xinman.
**
The group arrived at the hunting ground with familiarity.
First, change clothes.
Tan Li: …
”Where is the rest area? I’ll just sit and watch you guys play.” Tan Li suddenly became uninterested.
Fu Yunyun was delighted, “I’ll take you there!”
”Go change your clothes first. I’ll take Tan Li to the rest area.”
”Don’t bother,” Tan Xinman didn’t want Fu Yunyun, a woman with a lot of bad intentions, to be alone with Tan Li. “Tan Li and I will go to the rest area to wait for you. You don’t have to take care of us.”
”That won’t work!” Fu Yunyun said anxiously, “Xinman, you haven’t been here for a long time. Vivion misses you.”
Vivion is a purebred bay mare. She was a birthday present given to Tan Xinman by Ying Xu one year and is usually kept in this stable.
Tan Xinman liked Vivion very much and often came to see her.
But she hasn’t been here for a long time, since three years ago.
Hearing Fu Yunyun’s words, Tan Xinman paused.
Tan Li is not a cold-blooded capitalist who exploits people without blinking an eye, and she will still arrange the necessary employee benefits.
”Fu Yunyun, lead the way,” she said, and then said to Tan Xinman, “I’ll give you a day off.”
Tan Xinman was stunned and laughed.
Fu Yunyun was also happy that things were developing in the direction she hoped.
”I’m coming,” Fu Yunyun trotted over to Tan Li’s side, “I’ll lead the way for you.”
Along the way, she smiled sweetly and enthusiastically, and introduced the surrounding facilities to Tan Li from time to time.
Tan Li didn’t say a word the whole time, but when Fu Yunyun took her to the lounge and was about to leave, she suddenly opened her mouth and said –
”Take it easy.”
It seems like a warning, but also like advice.
Fu Yunyun’s back stiffened, but even so, she still stubbornly said word by word:
”If you don’t try, how do you know you won’t succeed?”
Given her current situation in the Fu family, she could only be a pretty vase that pleased people, smiling and not offending anyone. She looked favored, but in fact she was just a little pet that came at the beck and call and left at the drop of a hat.
But even so, after the old man passes away, there is a high probability that she will not have a share of the Fu family’s property.
From childhood to adulthood, she only learned how to read people’s expressions, how to please others, and how to depend on others.
She couldn’t live a glorious life like Tan Xinman without relying on anyone.
Since she had to rely on someone to live a good life, Ying Xu was the best choice she could find after considering many factors.
Because his last name was Ying, he was the youngest son in the family and was doted on by the whole family. At the same time, he was a good man and he was not like other young masters who had colorful flags flying outside but a red flag flying high at home.
Most importantly, not smart.
Easy to handle.
It was precisely because Fu Yunyun was not the daughter of the eldest wife, and because her mother was the fourth wife who became the youngest, that she hated the Fu family even more. Her future children must not be like her, suffering from the contempt of others, openly or secretly.
In response, Tan Li raised the corners of her lips and said, “Aren’t you afraid of having nothing in the end?”
Fu Yunyun just smiled, didn’t answer, turned around and left.
You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing a kid.
She is going to make a big gamble in her life.
