Chapter 405 – Kids These Days Are Smart
Tang Li looked at Mrs. Situ and saw that her eyes were filled with concern for Situ Jin. The corners of her lips curled up and she nodded. “Yes.”
A relieved smile instantly appeared on Mrs. Situ’s face. At the same time, she pressed her palms together and said sincerely, “That’s great. Jin can finally become a normal person.”
Tang Li nodded and turned to walk into Situ Jin’s courtyard.
Mrs. Situ obviously had something to say and quickly stopped her. “Miss Tang.”
Tang Li stopped again.
Mrs. Situ hesitated for a moment before asking, “My husband asked me to prepare a banquet for Jin. Can he… really have sex with women?”
“Yes.”
When Mrs. Situ heard this, she actually sighed and said, “Originally, the Situ family and the Qin family were engaged. At that time, Old Master Situ told everyone that the head of the Situ family must marry the daughter of the Qin family.”
Tang Li knew that Mrs. Situ was implying something, so she did not reply. Instead, she waited for her to continue.
As expected, Mrs. Situ added, “Ever since that incident last time, my husband doesn’t have a good impression of the Qin family and doesn’t like Mingyue, so he asked me to prepare a banquet for Jin. Miss Tang, you spend a lot of time with Jin. Can you tell if Jin has any feelings for Mingyue?”
The corners of Tang Li’s lips curled up slightly as she said, “Mrs. Situ, you asked the wrong person. I’m only responsible for treating Situ Jin. I don’t care about these things, nor do I pay attention to them. If you really want to know, you can ask Situ Jin directly.”
Mrs. Situ’s expression changed slightly. Then, she shook her head. “Forget it. Even if I ask, Jin won’t tell me about it. I just think that if he likes Mingyue, then there’s no need to hold the banquet. If he doesn’t have feelings for Mingyue, then I’ll start to prepare a banquet.”
Tang Li did not reply.
Mrs. Situ seemed to have realized that she had said too much and said apologetically, “Miss Tang, sorry for taking up your time. I won’t keep you any longer.”
Tang Li nodded and turned to walk into Situ Jin’s courtyard.
Unexpectedly, after she took two steps, Mrs. Situ said to herself, “Jin’s mother passed away when she gave birth to him. When my husband married me, he told me to take good care of Jin.”
Hearing that, Tang Li stopped in her tracks.
However, she did not want to stick her nose into other people’s family matters, so she continued walking in.
After Tang Li walked into Situ Jin’s courtyard, Mrs. Situ turned around and walked towards her house.
Tang Li walked into the courtyard. She did not expect Situ Jin to be standing under the shade of a tree at the side of the courtyard. At that moment, he was looking up at the tree, as if he was looking at something or was deep in thought.
Tang Li stopped beside him and said, “Looks like you like to eavesdrop.”
Situ Jin smiled at Tang Li. He was handsome and had fair skin. When he smiled, he looked like an ancient prince.
He shrugged innocently. “I didn’t listen on purpose. I just happened to be there.”
Tang Li snorted and walked towards the herb room.
Situ Jin looked at her and said, “Fourth Madam, you don’t seem to be interested in these gossips at all?”
Tang Li waved at him. “I like to watch the show, but I don’t like to listen to gossip. Those who talked to me all want me to help, but do I look like I have that much time to help?”
Situ Jin’s laughter came from behind. His smile was bright as he said, “I was about to talk to Fourth Madam about something, but it seems like I have to give up on that thought.”
Tang Li did not stop and walked into the herb room.
After Tang Li was gone, Situ Jin turned around and walked towards the side hall.
At this moment, Qiqi and Linlin were playing there.
Situ Jin sat down and took a sip of tea. He asked them, “I’ve always been curious about how Tang Li met you two. Where are your parents?”
Qiqi stopped and said with a straight face, “There’s a saying that goes like curiosity kills the cat.”
Situ Jin was struck dumb.

At this moment, Linlin giggled and said, “Uncle Situ, don’t take what Qiqi said to heart. Actually, we’re orphans. We happened to meet our godfather and godmother. They think we’re cute, so they brought us back.”
After saying that, Linlin leaned closer to him. “Uncle Situ, don’t you think we’re cute?”
Situ Jin pinched her nose with his fair finger and smiled. “You are indeed cute.”
“Hehe…”
Linlin was very happy.
Situ Jin put down his teacup and asked them, “It’s boring staying here all the time. Do you want to go out with me?”
“Where are we going?” Linlin asked excitedly.
“Just taking a walk in the courtyard outside.”
Qiqi said without reserve, “I heard that many people in your family want you to die. Will we be in danger if we go out with you?”
When Situ Jin heard this, he smiled and said, “Don’t worry, even if they want me to die, with Qi Yihan and Tang Li’s godchildren around, they won’t dare to do anything.”
“Then you want us to watch you die?”
Situ Jin was speechless. He rubbed his nose and sighed. “Kids these days are really smart.”
In the end, he gave up on the idea of going out for a walk.
The day passed quickly.
After Tang Li gave Situ Jin the acupuncure treatment, she left with Qiqi and Linlin.
As soon as the car reached the gate at the foot of the mountain, she asked Qiqi and Linlin to return to the jade.
She drove to Imperial University alone.
It was only past eight o’clock. Imperial University was still very lively, especially at the school gate. Many students were going in and out.
Tang Li parked the car in the parking lot beside the school and saw Su Ziqing and Xiang Wanwan walking over together.
The two of them had obviously been waiting for her for a while.
Xiang Wanwan was wearing a white floral dress that gave people a comfortable feeling.
Su Ziqing was wearing a pair of cropped pants and a large short-sleeved T-shirt. She had even cut her long hair and looked especially neat and fresh.
Tang Li got out of the car and Xiang Wanwan called her, “Miss Tang.”
Su Ziqing also called out, “Cousin, you’re here.”
Then, she said to Xiang Wanwan, “Wanwan, you’re already friends with my cousin. Why do you keep calling her Miss Tang?”
Xiang Wanwan pursed her lips and smiled. “I’m used to it.”
Tang Li did not mind and said, “It’s just a form of address. You can call me whatever you want.”
Xiang Wanwan nodded.
Tang Li looked at Su Ziqing and asked, “Why did you cut your hair?”
“Does it look good?”
Su Ziqing brushed away the hair on her forehead and smiled at her. “I think it’s a waste of time to tie my hair, so I cut it.”
Tang Li nodded. “Looks pretty good.”
