Chapter 215 I’m Not Fortune-telling Tonight
Qi Yihan pushed the old man to the middle of the banquet hall before stopping. The old man glanced at everyone with his sharp eyes and said, “Thank you for your concern and blessings. Everyone, have a good time tonight.”
Hearing that, everyone thought to themselves, “As expected of Old Master Qi, a serious man of few words.”
After saying that, Old Master Qi stopped speaking, which meant that he had said what he wanted to say. Then Qi Yihan pushed him towards a room inside.
Old Master Qi called the other old men over and left.
After they left, First Master quickly said, “Everyone, the banquet has begun. Today is a happy day. Please make yourself at home and enjoy it.”
Everyone agreed immediately.
Tang Li did not follow the old man in. The sisters-in-law made her entertain the guests.
She first went to entertain a group of important madams.
Tang Li behaved quite well tonight. She did not scold anyone, nor did she mention anything about fortune-telling or reading fortunes. She sat among a group of rich madams and listened to them quietly, occasionally adding a comment.
This made the people feel slightly ill at ease.
They had a feeling that Tang Li was up to something tonight.
Of course, people who met Tang Li for the first time didn’t know she was sharp-tongued. As they were chatting, they suddenly mentioned Tang Li.
One of the rich madams, who looked to be in her thirties, suddenly asked, “Fourth Madam, I heard that you know how to read fortunes. Why don’t you read my fortune too?”
This wife had a Hong Kong accent and sounded so cute that it gave people goosebumps.
After she spoke, everyone looked at Tang Li strangely.
However, First Madam said unhappily, “Today is the banquet to celebrate our father’s discharge from the hospital. Fortune telling is not suitable for such an occasion.”
Tang Li glanced at her sister-in-law, who looked displeased, and then at Mrs. Wu, who looked a little embarrassed. She said calmly, “Asking me to read fortunes is not gonna be cheap.”
Just as Mrs. Wu was about to say that she had plenty of money, Tang Li added, “I won’t read fortunes tonight. If you want me to read your fortune, you can call me some other day.”
Mrs. Wu swallowed her words and nodded. “Alright.”
However, she thought to herself disdainfully, “Why would I call you when there are so many masters out there? What a joke.”
Even though she heard that Tang Li helped Mrs. Li, she still did not believe her.
Tang Li knew that Mrs. Wu did not believe her, but she did not mind at all. After swirling the wine glass in her hand, she said, “Take your time. I’ll go entertain the others.”
With that said, she stood up and left.
As soon as Tang Li walked out, she saw Lucia walking toward her.
Lucia was wearing a black dress tonight. The low V-neck design made her look dazzling.
Coupled with the lace design on her waist, she looked extremely sexy.
“Fourth Madam.” When Lucia called out her name, Tang Li felt that Lucia was gritting her teeth.
But Tang Li didn’t care. She took it that Lucia was jealous. “Miss Lucia, you look beautiful tonight.”
Lucia sneered and thought to herself, “I asked the designer to design this dress for me so that I can compete with you.”
“Fourth Madam’s dress is also very beautiful.”
Lucia raised her glass at her and deliberately said, “I heard that you helped treat Old Master Qi. I didn’t expect Fourth Madam to be so good at medicine.”
Tang Li smiled and did not bother to argue with her.
The quieter Tang Li was, the angrier Lucia became. However, she did not show it in front of Tang Li. She raised her glass and said, “Fourth Madam, I’ll drink a toast to you.”
Tang Li raised her glass and clinked it with hers. When she retracted her hand, she suddenly leaned close to Lucia and whispered into her ear, “Miss Lucia, stop thinking about Yihan. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee what will happen to you.”
With that, she took a sip of wine and walked to the other side.
Lucia looked at the departing figure and clenched the wine glass in her hand tightly, the viciousness in her eyes almost overflowing
Tang Li, just you wait. I’ll make you regret it!
Tang Li walked for a while longer before she saw Tang Zitong was approaching her in a hurry.
Tang Zitong pulled her to a corner and said angrily, “Cousin, many people are talking bad about you in private today. Why don’t you retaliate?”
“What did they say about me?” Tang Li took a sip of wine and turned to look at Qi Yihan, who was surrounded by a large group of people.
“They said you wanted to be famous so badly that you went crazy.”
Hearing that, Tang Li chuckled.
Tang Zitong stomped her feet in anger. “I want to fight with those people. Why are you even smiling?”
“Calm down.” Tang Li was especially calm. She acted like everything was under control. “Augustine will be in trouble soon.”
Tang Zitong’s eyes lit up. “What do you mean? Do you already know something?”
Tang Li smiled but did not say anything.
Tang Zitong trusted her a lot. Hearing that, she was relieved.
Then, she grumbled, “I don’t know where Ziqing is hiding. She said that she doesn’t like to interact with people she doesn’t know. She disappeared as soon as she came in.”
Tang Li scanned the banquet hall.
This banquet hall was very large and was divided into many areas. It was not easy to see everyone at a glance.
At this moment, a few young women from the Qi family walked towards her with a few other young women.
Tang Zitong looked at the group of people and mumbled, “I feel like they’re up to no good.”
Tang Li chuckled. “I happen to be bored drinking alone. It’s not a bad idea to play with them.”
As she finished speaking, a group of people walked over.
“Fourth Aunt, everyone wants to invite you to the garden. Do you want to go?”
Tang Li glanced at Qi Bailing, who called her Fourth Aunt, and then looked at the others.
One of the women in a custom-made dress took a step closer to Tang Li and said enviously, “Fourth Madam, you look really good in this cheongsam tonight. Which designer did you customize it from? When the time comes, I’ll ask that designer to customize one too.”
Tang Li didn’t hesitate to tell her, “It’s David.”
“Him!”
