Chapter 80: How Dare You Call Me That?

The Host was a person who did whatever she wanted. She didn’t have any real friends. The only person she could befriend was her cousin, who she rarely saw.
Because their experiences were similar, both of them had no mother since they were young. The host’s father became a monk for his deceased wife, and her cousin’s father started traveling around the world after his wife passed away.
Hence, the Host liked to tell Su Ziqing what was on her mind.
Su Ziqing felt that she knew Tang Li very well.
“Sis, do you remember why I study law?”
“Ever since your grandfather passed away, I’ve felt that you changed a lot. I was worried that you might be in trouble one day, so I chose to major in law.”
“I want to protect you, but when I first saw Fourth Master, I was so infatuated by his aura and appearance that I became a servant to him. I swore that while I’m protecting you, I won’t let you hurt him. That’s why I’m very angry at you now.”
“I know you don’t like Fourth Master, and you married him out of spite. I don’t care what you want from him, but I won’t let you hurt him.”
Tang Li looked at the agitated woman and asked, “Do you think you can protect Qi Yihan?”
“I…” Su Ziqing was stunned. She wanted to protect him, but she really couldn’t.
Tang Li smiled, exuding an aura that made Su Ziqing’s heart palpitate. “I’ve said it before and I repeat. I won’t divorce him and I want to spend the rest of my life with him, whether you believe it or not.”
Su Ziqing looked at Tang Li with her mouth agape.
Tang Li continued, “I took the time out of my schedule to tell you because you’re my cousin sister.”
She was also the only person the Host had and liked, so Tang Li didn’t wanna break her heart.
“Your intention is good, but… Anyway, you should study hard. Qi Yihan and I will never get a divorce in this life, unless… unless I don’t want to stay in this world anymore.”
After saying that, Tang Li looked at Su Ziqing, who was still looking at her in a daze.
Su Ziqing came back to her senses after a while. When she came back to her senses, she frowned and pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose. She felt something was not right but couldn’t pinpoint what exactly was not right.
Everyone knew that She loved that gigolo to death, so why did she suddenly say that she would never divorce Fourth Master in this lifetime?
At the thought of that pretty boy’s current situation, Su Ziqing asked, “Aren’t you trying to protect Bai Qingyang by deliberately letting everyone know that you are tired of him and by ruining his reputation?”
“What makes you think that I am trying to protect him?”
“Everyone says so.”
“No, if I really like someone, I can’t wait to pamper and love him, and I won’t let him suffer.”
Tang Li sounded domineering and serious when she said this, making it difficult for Su Ziqing to doubt the veracity of her words. Hence, she fell silent.
With Su Ziqing remaining silent, Tang Li did not speak either.
She was coming here today to make things clear that she would never ever let go of her husband.
The two of them sat in silence for a while. Suddenly, Su Ziqing’s phone rang. After she answered the call, she frowned and said, “Sorry, I don’t have time this weekend. I can’t go.”
With that, she hung up.
Then, she said to Tang Li, “Sis, I want to see Fourth Master.”
“Why do you want to see him?” Tang Li frowned in displeasure.
Su Ziqing frowned as well. “You were the one who asked me to chase after him. I have to see for myself if you guys really love each other and don’t want to divorce.”
Tang Li was speechless.
She couldn’t help but call the Host idiot silently who made everything difficult for her.
“Alright, when he comes back from his business trip, I’ll ask him if he wants to see you.”
Tang Li felt that she was terrible at dealing with relationships in this world and wanted to improve it.
Su Ziqing nodded in satisfaction. The two of them exchanged a few more words before Tang Li prepared to go back.
As soon as they walked out of the dormitory, a tall and skinny boy wearing glasses walked towards them.
Before the boy got close, he asked Su Ziqing in a questioning tone, “Hey, Su, I called you just now to ask you out this weekend. Why can’t you come?”
Tang Li glanced at Su Ziqing. Seeing that she was frowning, she asked, “Cousin, who is this person?”
“A classmate.”
“Are you close?”
“Not really. I was just assigned to his class yesterday, and we barely exchanged a word. He was the one who approached me and talked to me. How could we possibly be close?”
“So… why did he come to question you?”
“He probably wants to hit on me.”
Seeing that they went on talking as if he didn’t exist, Li Jianhua felt awkward and angry. It was true that he found Su Ziqing quite pretty and wanted to hit on her before anyone else.
He felt that for a transfer student like Su Ziqing, she would definitely feel lonely sometimes and couldn’t get used to everything, so if he showed some concern for her, she might be moved and fall for him.
If he could make such a pretty girl his girlfriend, every boy in his dormitory would be jealous of him.
However, he still had no clue what the girl opposite him thought of him. Getting rejected just now over the phone, he felt furious and came to ask her in person.
“Su, aren’t you thinking too much? I just thought that you’re new here and definitely will have a hard time getting used to the new environment. As a member of the student union, I wanted to help you integrate into our class as soon as possible, so I kindly asked you to hang out with some of the classmates this weekend. If you don’t want to go, then forget it. Why did you say I’m chasing after you? It’s nonsense.”
After saying that, he glared at Tang Li and added, “Let me give you a piece of advice. As a student of the Imperial College, studying should be your top priority. Also, you have to be careful when making friends. Don’t lower your status. Otherwise, people who don’t know might think that you’re from a third-rate university and can only make some third-rate friends.”
Sensing the boy’s hostility, Tang Li crossed her arms and asked Su Ziqing, “Cousin, is he saying that I’m your third-rate friend?”
Su Ziqing sneered. “Yes.”
Tang Li clicked her tongue and took a step closer to the boy.
Li Jianhua’s heart skipped a beat from the aura coming from Tang Li’s body, and he subconsciously took a step back.
Tang Li said, “When I graduated from Imperial University, you were just a high schooler.. How dare you call me that.”
