The Good-for-Nothing Seventh Miss Chapter 420 - Going Too Far (3)

Chapter 420: Going Too Far (3)

“I know that you have my best interest at heart, and you’re afraid that I won’t have a good life at home if I were to withdraw from the academy so suddenly.” He knew the reason behind her unusual behavior. However, since things had progressed to that state, he could no longer go back.
Shen Yanxiao took a deep breath and suddenly stood up to go closer to Tang Nazhi.
“And you’re also aware that everyone would look down on you if you were to withdraw just like that? Since you have chosen to be an herbalist, you should have persisted! Do you not know about the pressure of being part of the Black Tortoise family? Do you think it’s beneficial for you if you were to leave? You’re not only giving up, but you’re also giving other people more reasons to crush you!” Shen Yanxiao was furious. She was genuinely enraged.
She was familiar with Tang Nazhi’s frankness, and she knew that he was not a fool. He would know the consequences of his decision to drop out of the academy.
She would not have participated in that stupid competition because of the gamble with Shangguan Xiao otherwise!
“I know. I know about all of that.” Tang Nazhi could not even lift his head when Shen Yanxiao scolded him. However, he had his reasons.
“Since you know about that, then why are you still doing this?” Shen Yanxiao stared at Tang Nazhi, and she did not give him a chance to avoid her. “It is definitely not your decision to drop out. Who forced you to do it?” Even though the Black Tortoise family was not particularly pleased when one of their members decided to become an herbalist, they should not force him to drop out just to keep up their appearance.
However, Tang Nazhi had never bothered about other people’s threats against him.
That was why Shen Yanxiao could not comprehend the reason that would make Tang Nazhi abandon his choice to become an herbalist.
If he were to do that, he would not only abandon his profession as an herbalist, but he would also let go of his position in the Black Tortoise family!
“Please don’t ask about it anymore. I shall return home tomorrow, and I am very happy to be able to see you for the last time today. I do not know when I would return again after my departure. Let’s not talk about such depressing things.” Tang Nazhi no longer wanted to discuss the issue with his drop out, and he could only avoid Shen Yanxiao’s sharp eyes.
“Do you think that I won’t find out if you keep mum about it?” Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes. Tang Nazhi’s continuous avoidance had aroused her attention, and she felt that the issue was not that simple as it seemed.
“Xiaoxiao, please, stop asking about it.” Tang Nazhi felt vexed. He had wanted to see his little sister before he left, but he did not expect that she would press him for the reason of his dropout so persistently. Furthermore, it was not something that he would want her to know.
“Even if you remained silent, she would still find out one day.” A lazy voice interrupted their deadlock. Qi Xia leaned against the door lazily with his arms crossed.
“Don’t cause trouble for me.” Tang Nazhi glared at Qi Xia.
Qi Xia shrugged his shoulders. After Shen Yanxiao left, he had followed her and heard their conversation from outside the door. He knew that Tang Nazhi would not be truthful with her even if they continued their argument.
However, how long could he hide the truth from her?
“You forbade us from telling her, so I could only lead her back to you. If you are still unwilling to say, then I can only lead her to some other people who would know about it.” Qi Xia revealed a rather shameless smile. The three of them had promised him that they would not tell Shen Yanxiao the truth about the issue, but many people had known about it in the academy.
Tang Nazhi glared at Qi Xia in disbelief, and he wished that he could pounce and strangle that bastard to death.
If you don’t wish to help, then forget about it. But how could you come here and stir trouble for me?
