Chapter 205 The Female Lead Returning Money to Tang Li
Most of the Tang family members were at home tonight. When Tang Li walked in, everyone subconsciously glanced behind her.
First Uncle also asked, “Li, why didn’t Yihan come with you tonight?”
Actually, he was still a little worried about their relationship. After all, what Tang Li had done before was simply outrageous. Now that Qi Yihan let bygones be bygones, they felt that Tang Li was lucky. But they were afraid that Qi Yihan would come round one day.
Of course, Tang Li knew what they were thinking, so she said, “A batch of equipment arrived last night. He has to go to check it in person, so he doesn’t have time to come over.”
Hearing that, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
THey talked for a while. After the food was ready, they walked towards the dining table.
At this moment, Tang Zitong said, “Ziqing told me that she would come tonight. Why hasn’t she come yet?”
First Madam said, “Call her and ask. If she comes, we can wait.”
Tang Zitong nodded and took out his phone to make a call.
After the phone was answered, Tang Zitong asked where Ziqing was and how long she would be here before hanging up.
Then, she said to everyone, “Ziqing said that she was delayed by something. However, she’s already on her way here. We don’t have to wait for her, because she said she grabbed something to eat on the way.”
“This child, why did she have to eat on the way? It doesn’t matter if she comes later. We can just wait.”
Since Ye Ziqing had eaten, everyone sat around her and started eating.
At the dining table, the seniors asked Tang Li about the old man.
Tang Li told them about it.
Hearing that her father-in-law would be able to go back to recover in a few days, everyone was very happy.
First Madam said, “That’s great. With Old Master Qį backing Li, I won’t have to worry about you getting bullied by the other three masters.”
Second Madam agreed. “That’s right. I’ve been worried about this ever since I heard that Old Master Qi was dying. Now, I can finally rest assured.”
It was obvious that the seniors were really concerned about Tang Li.
Tang Li suddenly felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and she told them, “The Qi family will probably hold a banquet when Old Master Qi is discharged. We can all get ready;” The Qi family was an influential family, so they definitely had to prepare gifts in advance for such banquets.
Everyone started discussing what they should prepare.
Ye Ziqing arrived halfway through the dinner.
At the same time, she brought someone with her.
When the girl saw Tang Li, she walked up to her in surprise and greeted her, “Miss Tang, I didn’t expect you to really be here!”
Ye Ziqing smiled and said, “I told you I know your benefactor.”
Then she introduced Xiang Wanwan to the rest of the people, “This is my classmate, Xiang Wanwan. We met at a school event. She said she owed Cousin money and couldn’t get in touch with her, so I brought her here tonight.”
Xiang Wanwan greeted everyone politely. “Hello, sorry for disturbing you tonight.”
She was good-looking to begin with. Coupled with the fact that she was the female lead, the Tang family found her very likable. After they exchanged greetings, Xiang Wanwan took out a bank card and handed it to Tang Li. She said gratefully, “Miss Tang, thank you for your help last time. There’s 700,000 yuan in here.”
“Isn’t it 600,000 yuan?”
Tang Li took the bank card and could already tell why Xiang Wanwan was suddenly so rich.
Xiang Wanwan smiled and said, “The rest is the interest I pay you.”
She told her happily, “Miss Tang, I’ve found my brother. It turns out that I was adopted by my father.”
Tang Li nodded at her and asked, “How about your adoptive father now?”
“My brother gave him a sum of money to cut ties with me.”
Thinking back to how her adoptive father didn’t hesitate to choose money, Xiang Wanwan felt sad for a moment. After all, they had been together for more than ten years. For her adoptive father, nothing was more important than money.
Tang Li nodded in response and reminded her, “People who are addicted to gambling will never be able to resist the temptation of gambling unless they die at the gambling table. You have to be careful because he might come back one day to ask for money from you.” “Thank you for your reminder, Miss Tang. I will take note.”
Tang Li was about to treat Yu Meng with acupuncture when she said, “You can spend time with Ziqing and the rest first.”
“Okay.”
When Tang Li brought Yu Meng to her room for the treatment, the seniors went out for a walk and the young ones sat in the living room, chatting
After chatting for a while, Tang Zitong went to the washroom. When she came out of the washroom, she bumped into Tang Lei, who was waiting there.
“Second Sister, do me a favor later.”
Tang Zitong looked at him vigilantly. This person usually wouldn’t call her sister because she was only a month older than him. “What do you want me to do?” Tang Lei felt slightly embarrassed, so he said quickly, “Can you help me ask Wanwan if she has a boyfriend? If she doesn’t, can you ask for her phone number for me?”
Tang Zitong was stunned at first, then understood the message. She clicked his tongue and said, “Third Brother, did you fall in love with her at first sight?”
Tang Lei blushed and quickly said, “Keep your voice down. It’ll be awkward if she has a boyfriend and hears you.” Tang Zitong nodded and gave him an OK sign. She patted her chest and promised, “Leave this to me. But… if I really become your matchmaker, how are you going to reward
me?”
Tang Lei knew that she would take the opportunity to make exorbitant demands and was not stingy. “As long as she becomes my girlfriend, you can ask for anything.”
“You said it, don’t forget it.”
Tang Zitong smiled and narrowed her eyes. Then, the two of them walked out together.
After sitting down, Tang Zitong asked casually, “Wanwan, you’re so pretty. You must have a lot of suitors at Imperial University, right?”
Xiang Wanwan blushed and was about to deny
it.
Su Ziqing jumped in and answered, “She does have a lot of suitors, but Wanwan is quite brutal when it comes to rejecting her suitors…”
Xiang Wanwan smiled in embarrassment. “If I don’t like them, I won’t give them hopes.”
“Haha… Does that mean you don’t have a boyfriend yet?”
When Xiang Wan thought of that man, she didn’t know how to answer.
Su Ziqing answered for her, “She indeed doesn’t have a boyfriend.”
Then she smiled and continued purposely, “Are you going to introduce someone to Wanwan?”
Tang Zitong wanted to nod, but she quickly changed her mind after being nudged on the arm. “No, I was just asking.” Then she took out her phone and said, “It’s good that you don’t have a boyfriend because we can ask you out to have fun. Wanwan, what’s your phone number? Let’s swap it so that we can talk to each other sometimes.”
