Chapter 84: I Want To Cooperate With Qi Yihan

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

First Madam was already frustrated, and when she saw Tang Li, she became even more frustrated. She felt that Tang Li was here to see how unlucky she was.

She didn’t want to be nice to her, but when she thought that Qi Yihan and the little bastard might not be able to come back from Q Province, she felt happy again and said sarcastically, “Tang Li, are you laughing at how unlucky I am?”

“Why should I laugh at you?”

Tang Li picked up the gift from Butler Zhang and placed it on the bedside table beside her. “You’re First Madam. Now that you’re injured, isn’t it normal for me to come and visit you? If I don’t come, when Father recovers, won’t you complain about it to him?”

First Madam felt that Tang Li was being unrealistic. “Tang Li, the only thing you can do now is to hope that Father will recover. Otherwise, it won’t be pretty.”

“That is for me to worry about. You’d better think about whether you can get out of bed first.”

“You…”

“First Madam, don’t be angry, because it’s gonna make your wound worse.”

“You…”

First Madam felt like Tang Li was secretly hoping she would never be able to stand on her feet again. She was so angry that her face turned green, and she shouted without thinking, “Fourth Brother and the little bastard are alone in Province Q now. What if they can’t come back in one piece? By then, everyone in this family will find a way to make you suffer!”

Hearing that, Tang Li smiled. “First Madam, aren’t you afraid that I might tell father what you said to me word for word? Father is still alive. With a word or two from him, all your inheritance will be mine.”

“How dare you!”

“You can try.”

“You… Ouch!”

In her excitement, First Madam tore open the wound and screamed in pain.

Tang Li clicked her tongue. She tilted her head and said to the servant who was dumbfounded with the water in her hand, “Call the doctor over.”

“Ah… Oh!”

The servant came back to her senses immediately and rushed out with a glass of water. She shouted as she ran, “Doctor! Doctor! First Madam’s wound is splitting open!”

In the midst of the chaos, First Madam was pushed into the operating room to be stitched up again.

Tang Li and a group of people were waiting in the hall.

First Master glared at Tang Li with a livid face. “Tang Li, you know that your sister-in-law is injured. Why did you go in and provoke her intentionally?”

The others were also criticizing Tang Li quietly.

“That’s right. She knew that First Madam was seriously injured, but she still went in and made her angry. She must have planned it beforehand.”

“She’s just taking advantage of the fact that she’s taking care of our father in the hospital so that no one dares to do anything to her, right?”

“What a wicked woman!”

“If anything happens to First Madam, we’ll see what she says.”

…

Hearing the accusations, the corners of Tang Li’s lips curled up slightly, as if she did not care at all. She waited until everyone was almost done before saying, “Before you guys criticize me, why don’t you ask me what I said that made First Madam so agitated that her wound split open?”

These words made everyone stop and look at her.

Tang Li’s smile deepened. She said, “First Madam said that Yihan and Lingxuan are in Province Q now, and they won’t be able to come back. What do you think she means by that? Could she be the one who is behind it all?”

“Tang Li, stop slandering my mother!” When Qi Bailing heard that, she subconsciously yelled, “My mother has nothing to do with it.”

“Did you just call me Tang Li?” Tang Li narrowed her eyes as she looked at Qi Bailing, but her words were directed at First Master. “First Master, do you never teach your children manners? Is a junior supposed to call a senior by name? If word gets out, what will people think about our Qi family? A family without basic upbringing?”

Qi Bailing was so angry that her eyes turned red. “You…”

“Bailing, shut up!”

First Master’s face darkened. Although he really disliked Tang Li, the Qi family’s reputation was more important. The daughter of the Qi family should behave like a daughter. Disrespect for elders was never allowed. “In the future, if I hear you call the elders by their name, I’ll ground you in the ancestral hall and make you reflect on yourself.”

“Father, I…” Qi Bailing felt aggrieved. She was just trying to protect her mother, not to mention Tang Li was around her age, so she had never treated her as an elder.

But under First Master’s stern gaze, she had to shut up.

First Master looked at Tang Li and said with a cold face, “I am pretty sure my wife must have said that by mistake. She was just worried about Fourth Brother’s safety over there.”

There were so many people from the Qi family here today, so he was afraid that they might go back later and spread gossip.

Then, he said to Third Madam, “Third Madam, please entertain the guests.”

He planned to send the others away and settle the score with Tang Li later.

Third Madam nodded and said to everyone, “Let’s go to the Lotus garden. We can’t do much here anyway. We’ll go see First Madam when she recovers.”

Third Madam took the group of people away, and the juniors followed suit. Soon, only the three masters and Tang Li were left in the hall.

The three of them exuded a domineering aura at the same time.

First Master asked directly, “Tang Li, let me ask you one last time. Do you want to cooperate with us?”

Tang Li walked to a chair and sat down. She leaned her back against the chair and asked, “Cooperate? Didn’t we just make a bet a few days ago? Are you in such a hurry to deal with Yihan even when Father is still alive?”

“It’s gonna happen sooner or later anyway.”

“Pfft… Do you really think the three of you are on par with him?”

“Tang Li, what do you mean?”

“It means that I don’t want to cooperate with you guys anymore. I want to cooperate with Yihan.”

“You… Let’s wait and see!” First Master glared at her and sat down with a cold face.

Second Master and Third Master looked at each other.

Second Master sneered, “Tang Li, do you really think Qi Yihan will forget about all you did previously just because you now choose to cooperate with him?”

“Let me give you a piece of advice. You better help us. Otherwise, you won’t end up happy. ”

Tang Li crossed her arms and sneered. “Everyone knows that Yihan is a business genius. Only by letting him take charge of the Qi family can the Qi family be able to maintain its current glory. I think you guys are too comfortable and available every day that besides scheming against him, you got nothing worthwhile to do.”

These words immediately angered the three of them. “Tang Li, what do you mean?”

“Isn’t what I mean obvious? I’m saying that the strength that the three of you combined is by no means on par with Yihan. You guys should be thankful that you got money to spend even if you are practically useless. Do you really think any of you is capable of managing the Qi family?”

The three of them were so angry that their expressions were twisted.

Third Master said fiercely, “Tang Li, do you think we’ll let you out unhurt after you said all that?”

“I’m not sure about that but one thing I can be sure of, and that is it’s gonna be a miserable day for you.”

Just as Tang Li finished speaking, a servant reported anxiously from outside the door, “Third Master, your Tibetan Mastiffs suddenly broke the cage and charged out.. They are running toward the Lotus garden.”
