56 World 4 Chapter 53

Chapter 53.

"Miss Tang turns out to care about Lan Rujue?"

"You clearly care about the other person but don't admit it."

"Is this what tsundere is?"

These three words spoken by Shi Chaoyan seemed to be ringing in her ears, haunting Tangli. No matter what Tangli did these days, she could always hear these questions from Shi Chaoyan. Tangli almost collapsed, how could she care about Lan Rujue!

She slammed the table hard and said with a stern face: "Lan Rujue, I order you to get out of my mind!"

It's really terrible. Tangli hates this kind of uncontrollable emotion. It's like vines, wrapping around her tightly until she can't breathe. Therefore, Tangli's dislike of Lan Rujue suddenly reached the level of apex.

Her soliloquy made the nanny who was cleaning up at home couldn't help but laugh and asked: "Xiaoli, are you okay?"

"Aunt Liu, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm great."

The nanny hesitated and said, "I just heard Xiaoli mention Miss Lan. Did she made you angry?"

When Tangli heard the name, her eyes looked up and down unconsciously, full of unnaturalness. She was stubborn and refused to admit it, muttering: "How is it possible? We haven't seen each other for hundreds of years, and she is as busy as a spinning top with so many things to do. It's hard for me, a idle person, to see her. No way to get offended by her."

"Xiao Li was so angry just now that something happened. I thought it was Miss Lan who provoked Xiao Li. Miss Lan has always spoiled you, and I didn't think she would make you angry. Now it seems that I was right. Well, Miss Lan is reluctant to mess with Xiaoli."

It is said that bystanders know better. It is sometimes difficult for Tang Li, a person trapped in the situation, to discover some truths, far less than those who are watching.

Tangli held her chin, with a look of confusion on her face, and asked the nanny Liu in a strange tone, "Aunt Liu, you mean to say that Lan Rujue dotes on me? How is this possible? We rarely meet each other."

"You also said that we rarely meet, but it's not that we never meet. When did Miss Lan come to visit you, she didn't smile? Except when she is like this in front of Madam and Xiaoli, like Master and your elder brother, she has always been cold. She's so cold that she doesn't have any unnecessary expressions. Every time I bring you a fruit plate or give you something, you can definitely tell the emotion from her face."

The nanny kept talking and shared with Tangli the conclusions she had drawn from Lan Rujue. What she said was all the truth, without any exaggeration, so the nanny spoke categorically without any pause.

Tangli laughed as she listened and complained: "That's because my mother likes her. I've often heard my mother say that she wants to recognize Lan Rujue as her goddaughter. So Lan Rujue treats me differently, that's just incidentally, the only person who can really make her gentle is my mother."

The nanny frowned and asked, "No way?"

"Why not?"

Tangli nodded solemnly and cursed in her heart: She was so mean to her, and if this could make Lan Rujue prefer her, then it would only mean that she was a masochist and liked to be abused by her.

"Don't talk about her anymore. Aunt Liu, I am going upstairs to do my own business."

Tangli called up Diudiu who was running around in the garden, and they jumped upstairs. When the nanny saw their backs, she shook her head fondly and said, "This child is really different from one moment to the next. Just now he was frowning. It's like she had encountered something difficult and now she is happy."

Tangli was alone upstairs, busy with her own business, and the sky turned dark in the blink of an eye. It was only when Tangli noticed that there was insufficient light in the room that she suddenly realized that it was already dark.

She rubbed her neck, looked at the time, and said in shock: "It's almost six o'clock?"

Tangli stood up and twisted her waist. Diu Diu's figure was no longer in the room, and she didn't know where she went to play again.

Only when a person is busy can he stop thinking randomly.

Tangli just didn't want to think about that person anymore, so she became unusually busy.

However, the more you are afraid of something, the harder it is to escape.

Tang Li's cell phone placed aside rang. She saw the name of the caller and decided to answer the call after thinking for a long time.

She said in a disgusting tone: "Shi Chaoyan, what's the matter with you?"

"Miss Tang, something serious has happened."

"Um?"

Shi Chaoyan still listened to Tang Li's words. If she said she wouldn't do bad things, then she wouldn't do them. She didn't want to offend this wealthy young lady. Besides, there were many benefits to following her, so only a fool would go against her ideas. Therefore, no matter how much Shi Chaoyan hated Lan Rujue, she could only put her hatred aside first. After all, she had not forgotten Tang Li's warning.

She went to work honestly and peacefully today. She just went to the tea room to make a cup of coffee, but she heard the voice of a special assistant coming from there, as if she was talking on the phone, mysteriously.

Shi Chaoyan saw that there was no one around, so she stood at the door openly and eavesdropped. Fortunately, she stayed today, otherwise if Tang Li found out about this, wouldn't she be blamed?

Tangli on the front foot told her not to cause trouble, but something happened to Lan Rujue on the back foot. So if she doesn't doubt her, who should she doubt?

So Shi Chaoyan patted her chest and muttered silently: Lucky, lucky.

She slipped away quietly without letting the special assistant hear, and took the stairs to hide in a safe place to make the call to Tangli.

Although Shi Chaoyan was heartbroken, seeing an opportunity to take revenge on Lan Rujue fly away in vain, she could not betray Tang Li. To put it bluntly, if Tang Li was a man, she would definitely abandon Jiang Chen without saying a word. With such a wealthy man, who would want to fall in love with Jiang Chen.

This was what Shi Chaoyan murmured in her heart. She only had the guts to think about it, but not the guts to do it.

She kept her story short and revealed the special assistant's plan to Tang Li.

After hearing this, Tang Li was furious and cursed: "Someone is here to rob my role!"

I'm the vicious female partner, okay? It's my job to drug you and stuff like that! You, the special assistant, are not robing jobs, what are you?

Shi Chaoyan was confused, her eyes were wide open, and she asked: "Robbing... snatching a role? Miss Tang, do you want to harm Lan Rujue, or do you not want to harm her?"

Tang Li gritted her teeth and said, "I think so! I want to kill her day and night."

"Day and night? Think about it? Miss Tang, this word is a bit ambiguous."

Shi Chaoyan now seems to have become a CP brain. No matter what words she hears, even if they don't mean that, she can always taste Tangli's indescribable feelings. For example, when she just said "day and night", Shi Chaoyan immediately thought of Tang Li's deep love, she missed Lan Rujue all the time.

Tang Li collapsed and covered her face. Her good cultivation could not be maintained at all after encountering Shi Chaoyan, a 250-year-old man!

Tang Li really didn't want to waste her time with a guy who had no brains, so she cursed and said, "Don't worry about this, I will arrange it."

"Okay, Miss Tang, you must tell me if you have any instructions."

"I don't have any instructions. Just fall in love with Jiang Chen. It's best to let him escape from you before the wedding!"

Shi Chaoyan murmured for a long time, and finally said: "Miss Tang, Jiang Chen really wants to marry a woman like Lan Rujue. I'm afraid I can't sway him."

"Can't sway him? Then you withdraw, break up with him immediately, and I'll start arranging for another woman to take office."

"Don't! Don't! I'll work hard, I'll work hard. Although Jiang Chen is not as good as Miss Tang, he is still a rich man. I can definitely catch him, don't worry!"

Shi Chaoyan didn't have any big ambitions. She always wanted to become rich. Later, when she met Jiang Chen, she thought about marrying into a wealthy family. Who knew that Jiang Chen would break up and the dream of becoming a wealthy family would be shattered. But there is no end to the road, Jiang Chen got back together with Shi Chaoyan again, so Shi Chaoyan took great pains and was determined to marry into a rich family and not let go of Jiang Chen no matter what. For this man, she even gave up her three views. If she couldn't marry into a rich family, then she might as well become a monk from now on who no longer thinks about men.

Shi Chaoyan's promise made Tang Li reluctantly feel relieved, and said: "Anyway, there is still time until next month. You can figure it out yourself. Even if it doesn't work, you'd better tell me early. If it doesn't work, I'll keep it under control. You go and marry Lan Rujue!"

"Then Miss Tang might as well kill me directly!"

Tang Li hummed, "That's a nice thought, I won't force you to marry Lan Rujue."

"Are you...jealous? Oh, Miss Tang, you are too stingy. Lan Rujue is my enemy. How can an enemy marry an enemy? Besides, we are the same..."

Shi Chaoyan quickly covered her mouth. She swallowed in panic. Oh my God, I almost told her about my half-sibling. It's okay, okay.

Tangli raised her slender eyebrows and asked, knowingly: "Same as what?"

"Same gender!"

Shi Chaoyan was worried that Tang Li would be suspicious, so she tried to smooth things over and said, "Miss Tang and Lan Rujue are a couple! You two are true love."

Tangli: "...Which eye of yours sees that we are truly in love?"

"From your awkward side, I find that you are actually somewhat evasive about love, but I also understand that after all, we are all of the same gender, so we should escape. But love is love, and it cannot turn into hatred. Miss Tang, you still have to be a little sincere in your life"

Tang Li lips twitched and decisively ended this ridiculous phone call with Shi Chaoyan.

She said disdainfully: "I think Shi Chaoyan should choose to be a cartoonist. With such a big brain, it would be a pity not to draw cartoons."

Do I really love Lan Rujue? What a joke, what a big joke!

We are not familiar with each other!

Tangli disliked Lan Rujue in every possible way, but she did not forget Fu Kexin's plan for Lan Rujue. She did not dare to waste time and made an unprecedented phone call to Lan Rujue.

The first time, the other party didn't answer.

Tang Li narrowed her eyes and said in a strange tone, "You are really busy."

The second time, the other party didn't answer the call.

Tang Li glared at the phone, "What are you doing? You didn't know I had something urgent to do with her!"

The third time, the other party accepted it.

However, it was not the Lan Rujue she thought, but the voice of a strange woman.

"Hello, hello, who are you?"

Tang Li's anger that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly came out. She asked, "I am Tang Li, sister Rujue's good friend. Where is she? I have something urgent to see her!"

"I'm sorry, Miss Tang. President Lan is in a meeting because she's talking to someone about business. I may not be able to return your call for a while. I'm her assistant. If there's anything urgent, I can tell it for Miss Tang."

Tangli feels pain when she hears the words "assistant". The assistant really can't tell her what she said. She can't tell Lan Rujue directly that someone wants to do something bad to you. Most people don't believe it, even Lan Rujue. If Rujue believed herself, then she would definitely ask her how she knew it, which would immediately block all her paths.

Therefore, we can't tell this, we must stop Lan Rujue from meeting Fu Kexin in person.

"Sister Rujue is in the company, right?"

"Yes, she's in the company."

"I'll be at the company in twenty minutes. She should be able to finish her work by then, right?"

The assistant looked at the notes on her phone. She hesitated and said, "I will pick up Miss Tang in twenty minutes. If President Lan is finished, I will tell you when I pick up Miss Tang."

Little liar? Why did President Lan have such a remark? I always felt that... this remark was a bit ambiguous.

The assistant bit her lip in frustration. She shouldn't have touched any of Lan Rujue's personal belongings, but the cell phone on her desk kept ringing. The assistant was worried that it might be something important, so she had no choice but to answer it.

But it seems that the other party is a young woman, and she also said that she is Lan Rujue's good friend. The assistant thought for a while, but couldn't find her in her mind for a while. It can be seen that she is not Lan Rujue's good friend, otherwise why can't the assistant remember her?

So the assistant erred on the side of caution and thought of going to see her first.

Tangli was relieved when she learned that Lan Rujue was still in the company and said, "Okay."

"Then please ask Miss Tang to call this phone number when the time comes. It's not convenient for me to hold President Lan's phone all the time."

"Um."

The short phone call between the two people ended here, each of them was worried.

Tang Li curled her lips and said meaningfully: "The voice of the assistant next to Lan Rujue is quite sweet. She must not be bad in appearance. I think she is a capable person who can become Lan Rujue's assistant. I just don't know how does Lan Rujue miss her?"

The assistant silently put the phone back in its place. She left a crack in the office door and sat in her office area. She looked at the computer screen and suddenly couldn't calm down and continued working.

The assistant thought she knew Lan Rujue very well. She was a serious person. Recently, the assistant discovered something strange about Lan Rujue. When she went to socialize that day, she saw Lan Rujue reading comics and laughing at them, which was beyond the assistant's knowledge and understanding of her. She thought that someone with a strong voice like Lan Rujue couldn't read comics, and she was more suitable for reading news and financial reports.

This is just the first thing. The second thing is that Lan Rujue gets distracted from time to time, often holding a hosta in a daze. Compared with reading comics, this second thing is enough to prove Lan Rujue's recent strangeness.

There is also the caller's note that she just saw. Three simple words reveal an unusual relationship.

The assistant believed in her intuition, but she was also a little uneasy. She could only hope that she was overthinking it. In fact, Lan Rujue had nothing to do recently, and it would be a mess if she cared about it.

She sat there for twenty minutes when her cell phone suddenly rang. The assistant looked at the time and realized that so much time had passed.

"Hello, Miss Tang. Are you downstairs already? Okay, I'll go downstairs to pick you up now. President Lan is still in a meeting, um, it's okay, no trouble. Just wait a moment, I'll pick you up right now. Just coming."

When the assistant went downstairs and saw Tang Li, she immediately saw the hosta in her hair. It was unclear what style it was carved in, but it was undoubtedly beautiful and exquisite. The woman was wearing a plum-dyed cheongsam, with unknown embroidery on the bottom. Famous flowers, elegant off-white knitted jacket, retro and gentle, when you see her, time seems to be less rushed, and you can calmly enjoy the surprise she brings.

In early autumn, Tangli is the most beautiful scenery.

The assistant couldn't help but call: "Miss Tang."

Tangli turned around and smiled gently, her features were picturesque and delicate.

"Hello."

The assistant's heart was inexplicably cold. When she saw her hairpin and appearance, no matter how lucky she was, it was of no use.

She pretended to be calm, forced a smile and said, "Miss Tang, please come with me. President Lan is still in the meeting, and it may be over in ten minutes."

Tangli walked beside her, her eyes lingering on the assistant, and she smiled: "Today I suddenly had something to ask Sister Rujue, so I came to the company as a last resort. I'm really sorry for bothering you this time."

The assistant shook her head and explained: "Ms. Tang is President Lan's friend. This is not a trouble. I am her assistant. It is my duty to solve President Lan's problems."

Tangli smiled and said no more, quietly riding the elevator and talking to her assistant in silence.

When the elevator reached the floor, the assistant suddenly said, "Has Miss Tang always liked wearing in hairpins?"

Tangli nodded and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just think Miss Tang looks beautiful like this."

"Thank you, you are beautiful too."

The assistant opened the door to the lounge and asked Tangli to stay here and wait for Lan Rujue.

She forced a smile on her face and closed the door. When she couldn't see Tang Li, the assistant lowered her head uncomfortably. She felt the tears in her eyes, so she wiped them carefully, and then went to the tea room to prepare tea for Tang Li.

Lan Rujue raised her eyebrows and spoke to the department manager beside her, saying: "I have told you several times that some equipment that should not be in the mall should be cancelled. Mother and baby rooms and children's restrooms are must-have quipment, please stop giving me pushback. I don't want to hear any pushback from any of you anymore. I'm not giving you so much funding just to raise worms!"

She pushed open the door of the lounge and closed it with her hands. The manager was sweating and did not dare to say a word.

Lan Rujue looked solemn and cursed in a low voice: "A bunch of trash."

Just as she was about to unbutton her collar, she found Tangli sitting on the sofa looking longingly at her.

Lan Rujue froze in shock. She touched the tip of her nose and said hesitantly, "Xiaoli?"

"Hi." Tangli obediently stretched out her hand to say hello, like a lucky cat.

She originally wanted to be tough, but she didn't know that Lan Rujue was furious. What she said to the manager was clearly heard by Tangli. Her training look was so fierce that she couldn't recognize her as Lan Rujue at all.

So Tangli didn't want to make Lan Rujue angry. It was not easy to quarrel with her today. After all, she was here to save... No, she was here to help Lan Rujue and not let her be fooled by others.

Tangli was sitting upright, with her legs on the right side, her cheongsam parted to reveal her skin, exuding a different kind of charm and temptation.

Lan Rujue pursed her lips, found a thin blanket and bent down to cover her legs, and said helplessly: "The weather is getting cold, don't forget your health for the sake of beauty."

Her sudden approach filled Tangli's nose with the scent of her perfume. This smell made Tangli grab her collar with dissatisfaction, moved the tip of her nose, and leaned in to smell it.

Tangli in this form looks like a harmless little animal.

Lan Rujue's eyes were deep and she stared closely at Tangli, a little animal that didn't know how to avoid ferocious beasts. She swallowed her throat and asked, "What's wrong?"

Tangli squinted her eyes suspiciously, flashing with a light that she had discovered Lan Rujue's secret, and said, "Are you... having an office romance with your assistant?"

"?"

Lan Rujue couldn't help but touched her forehead and murmured: "You don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense?"

Tangli grabbed her wrist and sneered: "I've caught you by the fox's tail, huh, humph, tell the truth, are you and your assistant together? If you are really together, then I don't want your gift, so as not to make your assistant jealous."

Lan Rujue really couldn't understand what Tangli said, and she also heard that she didn't want her gift. Seeing her ecstatic mood suddenly hit the bottom, she sighed and said: "I don't know why you misunderstood my relationship with my assistant, but I still want to clarify that she and I are innocent."

"Then why do you two use the same perfume? Don't make excuses, I have a good nose."

Lan Rujue sat beside her, their legs touching each other, there was no distance at all.

Lan Rujue explained: "It's a coincidence. The perfume I use is not specially prepared. It's normal to encounter the same style. How about you, why did you think of coming to see me?"

Tangli rolled her eyes and smiled sweetly, "Aren't I thinking about the gift that Sister Rujue said? I haven't seen you for a few days, so I stopped by to see you."

These words really don't sound like what Tangli said. Being courteous for nothing will definitely not do anything good.

Lan Rujue guessed and asked, "Did you get into some trouble?"

Tangli immediately put away her smile and raised her chin expressionlessly to look down on Lan Rujue.

This look made Lan Rujue feel relieved.

Lan Rujue whispered: "It's normal to be like this."

Tang Li said proudly, "Come with me to dinner at night, and you'll treat me to it."

Lan Rujue looked at her watch. She had a social event tonight.

Tangli saw her expression and continued to try to persuade her to go to dinner with her instead of attending any social events.

Unexpectedly, Lan Rujue said, "Okay."

"You...you agreed? Don't you need to be busy?"

Lan Rujue said matter-of-factly: "Originally, there was a social event, but I have to do as you say, so I'll just push it away."

At this moment, Tangli suddenly had a feeling.

If you can make a workaholic give up socializing, maybe you are really important to her.
