Chapter 30: Chapter 30: When did Li Er get married?
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio “You’re going to intern at Yan Emperor Group?”
Li Yan was completely taken aback, his voice pitched higher than usual.
Li Qiao massaged her ears with an expressionless face, “What are you shouting for…”
Li Yan glared at Li Qiao before looking down at the business card in his hand, the next second he crushed it to pieces and swiftly lowered the car window, tossing the fragments onto the road with no class,”No way, don’t even think about it, I won’t agree.”
“Oh.” Li Qiao replied indifferently, clearly not taking Li Yan’s opposition seriously.
For the following stretch of the journey, the car sped through the streets, filled with Li Yan’s earnest persuasions.
After nearly half an hour, with Li Yan talked dry-mouthed and tongue-tied, as the gates of the Li Family mansion slowly opened and the lights outside flickered, he saw—this brat was asleep.
The disheartened Li Er: “…”
After a while, the car came to a stop, and Li Qiao slowly opened her eyes.
As the driver opened the car door for her, she glanced sideways at the worried Li Yan and said with patience, “Let’s make a deal, second brother.”
Li Yan narrowed his eyes suspiciously, “No way, no matter the deal, I won’t agree to you going to Yan Emperor Group.”
“Last month, Nan Xin discovered a Qi Baishi’s ‘Frogs Croaking for Ten Miles’ at the border.
If you don’t want it, then I…”
You see, the fish took the bait.
Li Qiao’s lips curved slightly as she spoke calmly, “The painting for you, keep my internship a secret.”
Li Yan fell silent, his lips pursed as he seemed to struggle with a decision he thought long and hard about.
It probably lasted all of three seconds before he slapped his thigh, sighing heavily, “Alright.
But you promise your second brother to take care of yourself, and don’t let that idiot find out who you are.”
Li Qiao readily agreed, “It’s a deal.”
Li Yan sat in the car, watching Li Qiao walk into the hallway, and almost immediately started to chuckle to himself.
Damn it, ‘Frogs Croaking for Ten Miles,’ I’m going to be rich.
That’s right, Li Er of the Li Family, self-proclaimed Art Tycoon, was also a money-lover.
The next day, at 7:30 in the morning, Li Qiao was awakened by the vibrating ringtone of her phone.
Still half asleep with slightly red eyes, she fumbled for her phone.
It was a call from Tang Yiting.
“Speak!” Li Qiao answered the call with a voice that was soft and hoarse, tinged with irritable impatience.
Tang Yiting was impulsive and, without regard for anything else, shouted over the phone, “Why are you still asleep?
The school’s forum is in uproar because of you!”
Li Qiao rested her hand on her forehead, half-closed her eyes, and frowned, “What’s going on now?”
A forum uproar because of her, wasn’t that part of the norm?
“Did you go to Royal Hotel last night?” Tang Yiting was scrolling through the forum pages on her tablet as she spoke, “Listen, someone took a photo of you with your arm around a man entering the hotel.
People are saying you’re the other woman, seducing someone’s husband, and they’re specifically targeting you.
Get up quickly, the forum is so hot right now, even the school administration has come out to maintain order.
If you don’t explain yourself, you might be delayed from graduating due to misconduct.”
South Sea Medical University’s campus belle, suspected of being a homewrecker, with Li Qiao’s level of infamy at the university, had caused a storm on the med school forum overnight.
After all, gossip is the spiritual nourishment for bored people.
Seconds later, Li Qiao sternly covered her tired eyes with the blanket, her tone chilling, “Let them talk!”
Can’t they make up stories with a bit more heart?
Since when did Li Er get married?
