Chapter 354: Grudge Against Su Ziqing
Tang Li glanced at the group of people who looked like they were about to lose their patience. Without saying anything, she held Qi Yihan’s arm and left.
Xiang Wanwan quickly followed suit.
After they left, the group of people’s expressions darkened.
“What’s there to be arrogant about getting first place in a small competition?”
“Her cousin-in-law looks very rich. No wonder she looks down on us. It turns out that her cousin married a rich man.”!!
“Her cousin is good-looking. That’s why she married a rich man. There are so many superficial people in this world.”
“She’s so arrogant. Maybe she wants to marry a rich person too. That’s why she looks down on us.”
“What I don’t understand is why the school belle is with her.”
“You guys don’t know, do you? I heard that Xiang Wanwan has also found a rich man. They’re birds of a feather.”
“Humph! Let’s go. Ignore these superficial girls.”
…
After Tang Li and the others walked out, Xiang Wanwan said worriedly, “Ziqing, will it cause you trouble to be so rude to your classmate?”
“No.” Su Ziqing was not worried at all. “I don’t know them that well anyway, and we don’t usually talk to each other. Today, they came to talk to me because I got first place. Why do you think they came to talk to me?”
Xiang Wanwan stopped talking.
The four of them took a car to a restaurant near the school for lunch.
This restaurant was relatively high-end. The four of them went in and asked for a private room.
After sitting down, Su Ziqing deliberately pulled the chair closer to Tang Li and told her about her studies.
From the beginning to the end, she didn’t say a word to Qi Yihan.
Xiang Wanwan didn’t say much, but she felt that it wasn’t good for Su Ziqing to neglect her cousin-in-law like this. Occasionally, she would interrupt and get Qi Yihan to join the conversation.
Although Tang Li was listening to Su Ziqing, she was paying attention to Qi Yihan.
Qi Yihan sat at the side and drank his tea. He seemed to be listening to them and thinking about something else.
“Cousin, what do you think of my suggestion?”
Su Ziqing happened to mention being a lawyer in an entertainment company.
Tang Li agreed. “Sure. Second Sister is in charge of the entertainment company. You can just talk to her.”
“What about you? Are you really not going to interfere with the company?”
“I’m not cut out for managing a company.”
At this point, Tang Li suddenly pulled Qi Yihan’s hand and smiled. “I’m more suitable to be a rich wife.”
Qi Yihan smiled and nodded.
Xiang Wanwan, who was sitting at the side, smiled awkwardly. She knew how capable Tang Li was. Someone as capable as Tang Li was indeed not interested in managing a company because the money the company generated was not as much as what she earned.
Su Ziqing lowered her eyes and said, “I wish I can do whatever I want too.”
After the meal, it was already past one. Tang Li still had to go to the Situ family, so she left with Qi Yihan first.
Xiang Wanwan and Su Ziqing returned to school together.
The two of them walked in silence for a while before Xiang Wanwan suddenly asked Su Ziqing, “Ziqing, you don’t seem to like Mr. Qi very much.”
Su Ziqing said calmly, “It doesn’t matter if I like him or not. As long as Cousin likes him.”
Xiang Wanwan looked at her in surprise and wanted to say something.
Su Ziqing changed the topic. “Wanwan, did you help Tang Lei choose his suit last night?”
Xiang Wanwan recalled what happened last night and told her.
When Su Ziqing heard that, she couldn’t help but smile. “That’s indeed Cousin’s way of doing things, but…”
At this point, she suddenly asked seriously, “Wanwan, you know that Tang Lei likes you and wants to pursue you. What exactly are your feelings for him?”
Xiang Wanwan frowned and said seriously, “Ziqing, I haven’t thought about getting a boyfriend yet.”
“What about that person?” Su Ziqing suddenly became pushy. “Last time, I saw you with that person.”
Xiang Wanwan blushed and said, “He and I are just friends.”
Qi Lingxuan had never told her his feelings, and the reason they met was because Qi Lingxuan wanted to thank her for helping him so many times.
Su Ziqing looked at Xiang Wanwan for a few seconds and said, “Wanwan, I’ll take you to a place tonight.”
“Where?” Xiang Wanwan looked at her curiously.
“You’ll know when you get there,” Su Ziqing said. “Don’t worry, I won’t sell you to human traffickers.”
…
When Tang Li arrived at the Situ family, it was already past two in the afternoon.
Situ Jin asked why she didn’t bring the two babies with her today.
Tang Li said, “I went to Imperial University this morning, so I didn’t bring them with me.”
Situ Jin leaned against the recliner with a bored expression. “Looks like there’s no one to kill time with me today.”
Tang Li was speechless.
At around three in the afternoon, Fifth Master Situ suddenly came to visit. Situ Jin invited him to the living room.
If Fifth Master Situ didn’t have that white hair, he would actually look very young and have very fair skin. His fair skin was a little different from Situ Jin’s sickly fair skin. It was probably because he never got anywhere near the sunlight.
Situ Jin picked up the tea and took a sip before asking, “What brought Fifth Uncle here today?”
Situ Li did not beat about the bush and said, “I’m here to see how your illness is progressing.”
Hearing that, Situ Jin smiled. He placed the teacup beside him and placed his hands casually on his lap. “Fifth Uncle, you want to know if Tang Li can cure my illness, right?”
Situ Li did not deny it.
Situ Jin added, “If you want to seek help from Tang Li, you’ll have to pay a lot.”
“I know.”
The two of them suddenly stopped talking.
After a long while, Situ Li said, “I want to see Miss Tang.”
Situ Jin leaned back on the recliner and said casually, “I don’t think so. Tang Li is making medicine for me. No one can replace her at this moment. I’m afraid that once she leaves the pot, the medicine will lose its effect.”
Situ Li frowned. He felt that his nephew was intentionally making it hard for him to see Tang Li.
However, he didn’t say anything. He took a sip of tea and stood up, saying, “Then take care of yourself.”
With that, he left.
Situ Jin looked at the departing figure and crossed his legs, looking especially satisfied.
That was what Qin Mingyue thought when she came in and saw him like this.
Situ Jin glanced at Qin Mingyue and continued drinking his tea.
Qin Mingyue walked up to him and said, “I need to leave for a while.”
Situ Jin looked at the hot tea and said coldly, “Whatever.”
