Chapter 317: Third Madam Sucking Up to Tang Li
After sending Tan Wenjing off, Third Madam came over with Qi Manli.
Third Madam was much smarter than Tan Wenjing. She knew that Tang Li would definitely not be interested in anything valuable, so she brought a food box over.
“These are all the pastries I asked the kitchen to make. I thought children would definitely like to eat these. Try them and see if you like them. If you like them, I’ll get the chef to make them again next time.”
Tang Li knew that Third Madam was trying to get close to her, so she said to Qiqi and Linlin, “Hurry up and thank Third Aunt.”
The two of them immediately thanked her in a sweet voice, “Thank you, Third Aunt.”
“Oh my, why are these two children so lovable?” Third Madam continued, “I feel bored staying at home alone all the time. If you little ones are free, why don’t you come and find Third Aunt?”
Linlin sensed Tang Li’s attitude towards Third Madam and immediately replied sweetly, “Okay.”
The news of Third Madam going to Fourth Madam quickly reached First Madam and Second Madam’s ears.
First Madam was terrified by what happened last night and was now lying on the bed, unable to get out of bed.
When she heard Qi Bailing say this, she was so angry that she was panting and cursing, “Third Sister-in-law is really a fence-sitter. Does she think Tang Li can manage this family? Go suck up to her! Hmph! I want to see what benefits she can get from Tang Li.”
When First Madam thought of Tang Li, she recalled how Tang Li asked for five million yuan last night. She gritted her teeth in hatred.
Now that she heard Third Madam trying to get close to Tang Li, First Madam felt like she had betrayed them.
First Madam could not help but think to herself, “Maybe the two children Tang Li brought back are her biological children. She used some method to bewitch Fourth Brother so that he would be willing to bring the children back and accept them as his own children.”
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was true.
“No, I have to expose her. This woman is not worthy of being our Qi family’s madam.”
At this point, she grabbed Qi Bailing’s hand and said, “Bailing, think of a way to tell your grandfather that Tang Li lied to your Fourth Uncle and brought back the children she had with another man. Her goal is to let those two bastards inherit your Fourth Uncle’s assets.”
When Qi Bailing heard this, she felt that it was true too. She immediately said, “I was wondering why those two children looked so similar to Tang Li. Mom, don’t worry. I’ll tell Grandpa about it now.”
“Wait.” First Madam felt that if Bailing told the old man about this, Tang Li would definitely not admit it, and the old man would not believe Bailing either, so she added, “Think of a way to test their DNA.”
“Alright.”
Qi Bailing turned around and walked out.
First Madam laid on the bed and smiled sinisterly.
“Tang Li, I don’t believe you can’t get away this time.”
At this moment, Qi Hao walked in with a few masters.
First Madam quickly asked, “Have you exorcized the ghosts?”
One of the masters said, “Mrs. Qi, there are no ghosts here.”
“Impossible!” Hearing that, First Madam got worked up. She blushed and shouted, “I saw it with my own eyes twice. The last time, two servants saw it too. You actually said that there are no ghosts. I think you guys are liars.”
The masters also looked displeased.
One of them said, “Since First Madam thinks we’re liars, find someone else.”
With that, we were about to leave.
“Humph! How dare you liars come to me and cheat me. It’s not that easy to leave. Hao, beat them up and throw them out.”
When Tang Li heard that her sister-in-law had beaten up the masters and chased them out, she clicked her tongue and sneered, “She deserves to be unlucky.”
With that, she said to Qiqi and Linlin, “Don’t go anywhere near First Master’s place. That woman will become crazy sooner or later.”
Butler Zhang thought that Tang Li said that because she was angry at First Madam, but he did not expect it to be true.
Tang Li stayed at home until ten o’clock before driving to Imperial University.
It took nearly an hour to drive from the Qi Mansion to Imperial University.
It was the weekend today, so when the car reached the city, it was blocked.
Just then, Mr. Yun called.
“Miss Tang, there is need to rush. Zhou just started cooking. When you come over, we can start eating.”
When Tang Li heard Mr. Yun say that, she smiled and said, “The traffic jam in the central area is very serious. It might take me two hours to get there.”
“Haha, it’s alright. I’ll just get Zhou to cook slower.”
Tang Li was about to say no when she saw a familiar figure walking towards a mall.
Tang Li said, “Mr. Yun, if I’m late, you guys can start without me.”
“No, you are the guest. How can we start without you.”
Tang Li said, “Don’t worry about etiquette.”
Then, she said, “I need to hang up now.”
“Alright, drive carefully.”
“Alright.”
After hanging up, Tang Li made another call.
After the call went through, Tang Li asked, “Second Sister, I saw you at the China Mall in the central district. What are you doing there?”
Tang Zitong was usually very excited when she received calls from Tang Li. “Fourth Sister, where are you? I came to the mall with Ziqing. Do you want to come with us?”
“I have something on today.”
Su Ziqing’s voice came from the other end. “Ask Cousin where she’s going.”
Tang Zitong, “Fourth Sister, where are you going?”
Tang Li, “Imperial University.”
This time, Su Ziqing said on the phone, “Cousin, how long are you staying at Imperial University? I’ll look for you when I get back.”
Tang Li, “Until the afternoon.”
Su Ziqing, “Alright, I’ll call you then.”
Tang Li, “Yes.”
After the traffic cleared, Tang Li hung up and focused on driving.
When the car arrived at the professor’s residential area of Imperial University, it was almost noon.
Mr. Yun stood at the parking lot with three middle-aged men to pick her up.
The moment Tang Li got out of the car, Mr. Yun introduced the other two students to her. “Miss Tang, these are my other two students. This is Wang Zetao and this is Lu Junhui.”
These two people were about the same age as Guo Cheng. Wang Zetao looked easy to talk to. Guo Cheng and Lu Junhui, on the other hand, both looked solemn.
However, look wasn’t a good indicator of what one really was.
After Mr. Yun finished his introduction, the three of them immediately greeted Tang Li warmly and led her to Professor Wang’s house to talk about medicine.
