If it weren’t for her own younger brother getting there first, Xiao Shulan would have long wished to bring this man before her into her camp, just as she had with Chen Jiaming.
Every time she thought about this, Xiao Shulan would grit her teeth in hatred towards her crazed brother.
Just when things were about to succeed, Tang Sili abruptly rejected the cake box, pushing it back in front of Xiao Shulan.
Xiao Shulan froze, unsure of what he meant. Was the amount of the bribe insufficient?
"Professor Tang—" Xiao Shulan was just about to express her willingness to increase the offer.
Tang Sili shook his head slowly at her and said, "Mrs. Kang, please don’t misunderstand. I do not accept rewards without merit. I’m afraid the words I’m about to say are not what you two want to hear; hence, I cannot accept this cake."
What words did they not want to hear?
Xiao Shulan and her daughter were both shocked. Could it be that Tang Sili had seen through them?
With a leisurely gaze, Tang Sili glanced toward Kang Yueting, who seemed to be hiding behind her mother, and said, "I met you before, Miss Kang. You follow my student around all day long. How old are you this year, so eager for a man? Why not focus on your studies? What do you need a man for?"
It seemed like a scolding from their teacher, which would certainly displease Kang Yueting, who was in her rebellious teenage years. She retorted defiantly, "I’m not indiscriminately chasing men; he is my fiancé!"
"Since you say he’s your fiancé, why didn’t you pursue him earlier? Why the secrecy? Is it because he was a poor boy before, and now he seems to have become a rich man? You two came to me to ask if he’s a rich man or a poor boy, right, or not?"
Of course, he had guessed correctly.
Xiao Shulan and her daughter suddenly didn’t know how to respond.
To agree would be to openly admit their own vanity, that they wouldn’t consider a man without money.
"Professor Tang—" Xiao Shulan coughed lightly, "The main reason is that the other party intentionally concealed his identity. I was just worried that my daughter might be deceived. There’s no other implication." Latest content publıshed on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍
Tang Sili then spread his hands as if in resignation, "Mrs. Kang, didn’t I say earlier? My words will only disappoint you."
Xiao Shulan and Kang Yueting were both startled at the same time.
Ou Yanan was actually a poor boy?!
Kang Yueting’s face flushed red with rage in an instant, and she viciously accused Tang Sili, "Why are you lying? You’re lying deliberately to break us up, aren’t you? Because you don’t like me?!"
Tang Sili’s eyes had already darkened considerably; he pointed with his pen to the door, "I’ve said all I wanted to say; there is nothing more to discuss. Please leave; I still have work to do."
"Professor Tang?" Xiao Shulan wasn’t sure if his words were true. Could her daughter really be lying?
Tang Sili’s gaze, cold as ice, swept across Kang Yueting’s face, which was emanating intense hatred, and he said, "Not listening to the wisdom of the elders will lead to immediate misfortune. Ignoring the doctor’s advice brings you close to death."
Kang Yueting, as if pricked by a needle, exploded furiously, "Do you think I’m scared of your words?! You’re just a doctor, still dependent on my grandfather’s salary to you!"
Looking at Kang Yueting’s current demeanor, it was difficult to associate her with her usual semblance of a timid ghost who liked to hide behind others. It shows that people can be deceptive; even elementary students are .
Although the daughter’s words were harsh, they were indeed true. With this thought, Xiao Shulan no longer held back, snatched up the cake Tang Sili had refused, and declared, "Professor Tang doesn’t seem to be a wise man after all. I was wrong about him."
