Chapter 387: Tang Li Help Tang Zitong Look After The Store

After the mother and daughter walked for a while, Mrs. Tan whispered to Tan Wenjing, “Wenjing, pay attention to her. Before you and Hao get married, she will definitely try to stop you. She might even kill you.”

Tan Wenjing thought so too. After all, First Madam hated her so much, and Qi Bailing had never been nice to her. It was very likely that she wanted to stop her from marrying Qi Hao.

She thought for a moment and suddenly thought of something. She whispered into Mrs. Tan’s ear, “Mom, why don’t we take action first? We…”

…

Tang Li and Qi Yihan did not care what the Tan family and Qi Bailing were up to. After breakfast, Qi Yihan went to the company.

Tang Li wanted to stay in the Qi Mansion for a day to rest, but just as she was about to watch the drama on her tablet, she received a call from Tang Zitong.

Tang Zitong asked her over the phone, “Fourth Sister, are you free today?”

Tang Li raised her eyebrows. Tang Zitong called at the right time.

“I am.”

“That’s great,” Tang Zitong said happily. “I’m going to the neighboring city today. A family over there wants to customize a Guzheng for their junior. I’ll go and talk to them about the details of customization, but I’m worried about Yu Meng staying alone in the workshop. Why don’t you come over and take after the store for a day?”

This request wasn’t too unreasonable, so Tang Li accepted.

When Tang Li brought Qiqi and Linlin to the store, Tang Zitong was already waiting for them outside.

The moment Tang Li stopped the car, Tang Zitong walked over and said with a smile, “Fourth Sister, can I borrow your car?”

Tang Li looked at her and crossed her arms. “You make me feel like you called me here because you want to drive my car.”

Tang Zitong raised her hand and promised, “Absolutely not. When I saw your car, I suddenly realized that I don’t have one at the store.”

Tang Li gave her the car key and thought for a moment before saying, “Take Linlin with you. She can help you kill time on the way.”

Tang Zitong tilted her head to look at Linlin.

Linlin looked up at her.

The two of them looked at each other for nearly five seconds before Tang Zitong grinned and said, “Alright, with Linlin around, I can show off to my classmates.”

Tang Li was speechless.

After Tang Zitong left with Linlin, Tang Li and Qiqi walked into the store.

Yu Meng had a special training room, so Tang Li stood by the window and looked.

At this moment, Yu Meng was training.

She sat there obediently, adjusting her breathing under Lu Cong’s guidance.

Lu Cong was really strict. If she didn’t get the question right within three times, she would be hit on the palm.

Looking at Yu Meng, who had been hit twice, Tang Li couldn’t bear to look at it and walked out. As she walked, she said to Qiqi, “You can play by yourself.”

At that moment, Qiqi was looking at the craftsmen making instruments in the courtyard. When Tang Li said that, he walked over to watch the craftsmen.

He was a handsome boy, and the group of craftsmen liked him a lot.

They answered whatever Qiqi asked them.

Tang Li walked out and sat behind the cashier, watching TV.

Coincidentally, the drama that she planned to watch last time had been updated to the eighth episode, which was enough for her to watch for a few hours.

When she opened this drama, she didn’t expect it to be so popular.

A while later, two people entered.

One was a middle-aged man and the other was a girl who looked like a high school student.

As the middle-aged man came in, he educated his daughter ruthlessly, “They all say that there’s no future in learning imperial instruments, but you insist on learning. If you quit halfway this time, I’ll chop off your hand.”

The girl looked around and replied impatiently, “What are you worried about? I said I’ll learn. I won’t give up.”

“Humph! Do you think I believe you? You always let me buy whatever you want, but you never cherish it.”

“I know you are the best,” the girl said perfunctorily. After saying that, she happened to see Tang Li sitting behind the cashier and asked, “Boss, is there a Guzheng like the one the Divine Phoenix played in ‘Divine Phoenix’?”

Tang Li sized up the girl. She had heard before that girls were crazy about celebrities, but she didn’t expect this girl to be so crazy. She stood up with her phone and asked, “Is it this kind of Guzheng?”

She showed the girl the scene of the male lead playing the Guzheng.

When the girl saw the scene on Tang Li’s phone, her eyes instantly lit up. At the same time, she started chattering away, “I didn’t expect you to be watching this TV too. Let me tell you…”

Seeing that the girl was about to talk to Tang Li about the plot, the middle-aged man standing behind her pulled her back and said with a displeased expression, “Dandan, if you want to buy the Guzheng, hurry up. I still have to work. Do you know how much I’ll lose by accompanying you for half a day?”

The girl called Dandan suddenly shouted at the middle-aged man hysterically, “If you are so unwilling to spend half a day with me, then go back and make your money. I hope you die at work.”

The middle-aged man was so angry that he was panting. “If I don’t earn money, what makes you think you have the money to buy whatever you want? If I don’t earn money, you’ll still live on the farm, feeding pigs.”

“Then send me back to the farm. I don’t want to see you here anyway.”

Smack!

The middle-aged man suddenly slapped Dandan. She covered the half of her face that was slapped, her eyes filled with hatred and tears.

The middle-aged man put down his hand and said with a dejected expression, “My greatest mistake was bringing you to Imperial Capital. If I knew you would become like this, I wouldn’t have brought you here.”

“Then send me back.”

The middle-aged man was furious and shouted at her, “Your granny is already dead. If I send you back, you’ll have to live alone. You’ll starve to death if you go back.”

“Starving to death is better than staying here.”

“You…”

“Guys.” Tang Li finally could not stand it anymore and said, “It’s good that you guys can talk it out, but you can’t solve the problem by arguing.”

The two of them looked at her at the same time.

Tang Li said, “How about this? Since you’re in my store, I’ll help you and let you speak your mind.”

Tang Li did not give them a chance to object. She extended her hand and snapped her fingers.

Tears welled up in Dandan’s eyes. “Uncle, I don’t want to burden you anymore. You have nothing to do with my mom and dad’s deaths. You don’t have to keep taking care of me. Previously, someone wanted to introduce a girl to you. I know you rejected them because you want to take care of me. I’m a burden to you here, so I keep making you angry. Why don’t you just send me away!”
