After dinner, everyone chatted for more than two hours before Tang Li and Su Ziqing left Professor Wang’s house.
Before she left, Mrs. Wang prepared a bag of crispy meat for Tang Li because Tang Li said it was delicious.
After walking out of everyone’s line of sight, Su Ziqing glanced at the crispy meat in Tang Li’s hand and said with a complicated tone, “Cousin, you’ve really changed a lot. You never wanted such a thing before.”
Tang Li was thinking about giving these crispy meat to Qi Yihan when she picked him up. Hearing that, she replied, “People change.”
Su Ziqing looked at Tang Li’s side face and nodded after a while.
When they reached Tang Li’s car, Tang Li said, “Let’s go. I’ll drop you off at your dormitory building.”
“It’s still early.” Su Ziqing looked at Tang Li and said, “Cousin, let’s take a walk around Imperial University. We haven’t had a heart-to-heart in a long time.”
Tang Li thought for a moment. It was still too early to pick Qi Yihan up, so she agreed.
After putting the meat in the car, the two of them walked towards the school playground.
On Sunday night, Imperial University was filled with people. Everyone was in groups of three or five, walking or carrying books as they quickly rushed to the library.
When the two of them showed up, they immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
“Look, that girl is so beautiful!”
“She’s definitely not from Imperial University. Otherwise, there would definitely be photos of her on the BBS.”
“She must be from the art school or music school.”
“Maybe.”
…
Hearing everyone’s discussion, Su Ziqing smiled and said, “Cousin, I remember you told me when you were in university that during the school’s beauty contest, you and a girl who can’t compare to you are tied for first place.”
Tang Li recalled that there was indeed such a thing.
What Imperial University valued the most was academic results and the number of certificates they received.
At that time, the Host was prettier than everyone, but in terms of learning ability, she was inferior to the girl who was on par with her.
“Cousin, do you know what that girl is doing now?”
The Host did not care about this at all, let alone Tang Li. “I don’t know.”
“Haha… It’s indeed your style. I heard about it. After all, you’ve only graduated two years ago. There are PhD students in the school who are your former classmates.”
“I heard that the girl was poached by a large corporation overseas as soon as she graduated. She’s currently dating the son of that corporation.”
“Pretty good,” Tang Li said. “It’s not surprising that girls with good looks and ability can develop like this.”
Su Ziqing nodded. Actually, she was just finding a topic to talk about. She did not care about that woman at all.
Tang Li thought of something and asked, “Have you settled the matter with that boy?”
“It’s settled.” Su Ziqing’s tone turned cold at the mention of that boy. “His family is related to the underworld. I found a lot of evidence. If he dares to harrass me again, I’ll make his entire family sleep on a prison bunk.”
Tang Li tilted her head to look at Su Ziqing. Knowing that she had the ability to do so, Tang Li said, “Be careful. Since they are related to the underworld, they will definitely use some dirty tricks.”
“Got it.” Su Ziqing was obviously happy that Tang Li cared about her.
The two of them walked for a while before discussions suddenly came from the side.
“Have you heard? Something strange is happening in the laboratory building at the physics department again.”
“What? What?”
“As long as the students who went in didn’t finish the experiment, they wouldn’t be able to leave the laboratory. Also, I heard that the lights in a laboratory were on last night. The laboratory manager and bodyguards went up to turn it off a few times. As soon as they left, the lights were on again.”
“Really? That sounds creepy!”
“Isn’t there a bunch of weirdos in the Physics Department? I think a weirdo did it on purpose to scare people.”
“But that doesn’t seem to be the case. One of my high school classmates is from the Physics Department. He said that no one is doing it on purpose.”
“Maybe the Physics Department deliberately told them to shut up. You have to know that the Physics Department in our school can rank in the top three in the world, so there are definitely some lunatics.”
“Haha, that’s true.”
With that, they left.
At that moment, Ye Ziqing suddenly asked Tang Li, “Cousin, has there been any news about your father recently?”
“No, he is probably in the middle of nowhere. How could there be any news from him?”
Tang Li had always been curious about the Host’s father, but she did not know where he was, so she could only wait for him to appear.
At this moment, Su Ziqing sighed and said, “My dad hasn’t contacted me in a long time too.”
Tang Li tilted her head to look at her. “Didn’t you say that Uncle sent you a gift last time?”
“It’s been more than a month. He hasn’t contacted me since you went on a vacation.”
At this point, Su Ziqing suddenly looked at Tang Li and said, “Cousin, aren’t you a fortune-teller now? Why don’t you tell me where my dad is?”
Tang Li nodded and tried to read it.
However, soon a deep frown appeared on her forehead.
“What’s wrong?” Su Ziqing looked at Tang Li nervously. “Did something happen to my dad?”
Tang Li looked at the anxious Su Ziqing. Her anxiety could not be faked, but it gave Tang Li the feeling that she already knew something.
“Ziqing, let me read your fortune.”
“What?” Su Ziqing looked at her in confusion.
Tang Li had never read Su Ziqing before, but now she suddenly wanted to read her.
However, at this moment, Su Ziqing’s phone suddenly rang.
After she answered the call, she immediately said, “Alright, I’ll be right there.”
Then, she hung up the phone and said to Tang Li, “Cousin, I have something important to attend to. You should go back early too. Be careful on the road.”
With that, she turned around and strode away.
Tang Li looked at Su Ziqing’s back and suddenly narrowed her eyes.
Then, she turned around and walked towards her car.
Unexpectedly, halfway there, she suddenly met Zhang Xiaoli, who was inexplicably hostile to her.
Beside Zhang Xiaoli was a woman who was dressed fashionably and looked good.
The two of them were talking and laughing as they walked towards her.
They also saw Tang Li at the same time.
The moment Zhang Xiaoli saw Tang Li, the smile on her face disappeared and she said, “Crap, why is she here at Imperial University again?”
The woman standing beside her was a little surprised. “Is she Tang Li?”
“Who else could she be?” Zhang Xiaoli planned to ignore Tang Li.
When Tang Li walked up to the two of them, the woman beside Zhang Xiaoli suddenly called out to her, “Tang Li, long time no see.”
