Jiao Lei left angrily, fuming.

Not knowing where to vent her anger, she turned and glared at Li Tongyu.

"Couldn't you say something just now? Are you a dead person?"

Li Tongyu silently endured it without talking back.

Earlier, Jiao Lei didn't dare to stand up herself, so what could he have said?

The opponent's status and wealth were much higher than their own, and Jiao Lei only dared to vent at him, not daring to offend the other party.

Yet Li Tongyu didn't say a word of this, taking Jiao Lei's frantic scolding for a full five minutes.

Then he lifted his head, "Mom, it was my fault; I'll make you a cup of tea."

Jiao Lei sat on the sofa, barely making a sound.

Li Tongyu went back to his room and opened the wooden box.

Looking at the few remaining pearls inside, he showed a neurotic smile.

Soon—

Grandfather and grandmother's test would soon end.

Thinking about that astronomical figure on the list, Li Tongyu's heart burned with excitement.

Today, he didn't care at all about the humiliation Jiao Lei suffered, only focused on Fu Ting.

This is the benefit of power and influence.

Never mind twisting truths; even pointing and cursing at someone's nose, the person wouldn't dare utter a fart.

One day, he too would reach such heights.

Jiao Lei had no clue about her son's thoughts and sighed after taking the spiked tea.

"I spoke too harshly just now, and Yue Qingqing is really fortunate to have connected with that family."

"You're right."

Jiao Lei sipped the tea but didn't find anything unusual.

Coming from an ordinary background, it was hard for her to taste the differences between teas and naturally she didn't notice the special flavor within.

It tasted slightly sweet when swallowed, but slightly bitter on the tongue.

She just thought it was a normal taste.

"Tongyu, you must strive, definitely can't lose to Yue Qingqing. I could bring down Zhuang Rouhui; you can surely surpass Yue Qingqing."

Li Tongyu looked at the tea eerily, returning to normal when Jiao Lei looked over.

"You're right, I'll do my best." Li Tongyu smiled slightly, "Mom, you will help me, right?"

"Of course, you are my only son."

"Thank you, Mom."

Jiao Lei glanced at her son, "What's there to thank for? By the way, your grandparents haven't called you over recently, is it because of that incident that they have any opinions about you?"

Li Tongyu replied, "No way."

"But you can't be careless, never mind Yue Qingqing, they have two other children abroad. Don't let them steal the prize at the end."

"Mom, rest assured, I will definitely grasp what belongs to me and will not let anyone take it away, absolutely not."

Listening to her son's words, Jiao Lei nodded in satisfaction.

"That's my son."

——

Due to the evident death aura surrounding Jiao Lei, Yue Qingqing was pondering the situation.

It didn't seem like an accident because accidents can be resolved through luck changes.

It seemed more like a terminal illness.

But Jiao Lei looked healthy, with no signs of illness.

Truly strange.

Moreover, Li Tongyu's aura didn't feel right either, it felt like it had some connection to Jiao Lei's cause of death.

Forget it, what does it have to do with me?

Yue Qingqing stopped pondering as her phone rang at that moment.

Answering it, Jun Feifei's voice came through, "Little fairy, we're planning a get-together tomorrow at noon, are you free?"

"Yes, where to?"

"Let's go to the mall near your house. I've heard there's a newly opened hot pot restaurant, the broth is said to be really good, it came from the Sichuan-Chongqing area."

Upon hearing this, Yue Qingqing couldn't help but swallow, and naturally agreed immediately.

Besides, it has been a while since everyone met.

Since graduating from high school, they were scattered all over, so a chance to meet wasn't easy.

Yue Qingqing was quite looking forward to it.
