Chapter 933: Chapter 933: Playing Chess, Mr. Song Arrives
Hearing the implication in Tang Li’s words, Jiang Yining felt a chill in her heart.
The earlier sense of joy from the disaster that turned out to be a blessing vanished without a trace.
Tang Li saw that she wasn’t too dumb, so he didn’t rush to press the elevator button: “There are generous sponsors, but you’ve been around my uncle long enough, don’t you know what kind of person he is?”
“Not to ntion you caused his wife to have a miscarriage. If your little lover drugs herself, would you still be willing to support her studies abroad with hundreds of thousands every year?”
Jiang Yining felt uneasy and mumbled, “I just wanted a status, I didn’t know your aunt would have a miscarriage.”
“A status? The status of sharing a husband with another woman?”
Jiang Yining did not deny it.
She indeed wanted to replace Ouyang Qian, but she also knew this thought was unrealistic at the mont.
So, she went to the Lai Family to ‘ask’ for Ouyang Qian’s tacit consent to her presence.
“Besides, you also know the drug wasn’t from .” Jiang Yining defended.
Tang Li looked indifferent: “If I hadn’t said that, do you think you would still be standing safely in front of now?”
“…” Jiang Yining.
The scene of Jiang Yuan suppressing her was still vivid in her mind.
Thinking back, she still felt so lingering fear.
She wasn’t naive or gullible, and she sensed her predicant at the ti.
However, since ancient tis, wealth is sought in danger. When she decided to cling to Lai Wenyan, she also chose to bear the risks involved.
“My uncle is soone who doesn’t hold grudges.” Noting that the elevator had already reached the twelfth floor, Tang Li pressed the down button and then looked at Jiang Yining: “For the sake of being classmates, don’t bla for not warning you. If I were you, I’d go back to the apartnt now, pack up, and leave, breaking off all ties with my uncle.”
Jiang Yining didn’t respond.
Suspecting she might not heed his advice, Tang Li remained silent.
At that mont, the elevator stopped on that floor.
“Ding——”
The elevator doors opened, and no one was inside.
Before going in, Tang Li said one last thing: “And, whatever you heard yesterday at the Lai Family, it’s best to keep it buried inside.”
Understanding what Tang Li was implying, Jiang Yining clenched the hem of her skirt at her side.
“So things, before they can be used as leverage against others, can also be a death sentence.”
Tang Li withdrew his left hand from the down button: “It’s not easy for my uncle to reach his position today. He detests being blackmailed. The last person who negotiated with him still doesn’t know which remote corner he’s digging coal in. If you don’t believe it, you can try.”
These words were both advice and a warning.
Jiang Yining understood that Tang Li was indifferent about his own background.
On the contrary, if Lai Wenyan found out that she knew he and Tang Li were father and daughter, he probably wouldn’t keep her around.
Tang Li didn’t care what Jiang Yining was plotting in her heart.
With Lai Wenyan around, Jiang Yining wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.
In this world, Lai Wenyan is the one most worried about her background being exposed.
The elevator reached the first floor, and Tang Li left the hospital unit.
The Lai Family’s car was still parked there, but there was no sign of the driver.
Tang Li didn’t have the driver’s contact information. Seeing two elderly n in patient outfits playing chess under the pavilion’s lights, he didn’t want to wait foolishly and went over to watch.
One of the elderly n saw him and beckoned him over imdiately: “Play for for a while. I’m going to the restroom.”
Before Tang Li agreed, the man had already left the pavilion.
Since the other was waiting, Tang Li sat down on the stone stool.
He picked a cannon piece from the chess bowl, stared at the board for about half a minute, and then looked up: “How about we play Chinese checkers instead?”
The elderly man: “…”
Seeing the man purse his lips, obviously disapproving, Tang Li had no choice but to study the ga again.
Planning to delay until the elderly man returned, his right hand holding the piece was suddenly wrapped in warmth.
Instinctively turning back, the cannon had already landed on the chessboard.
Beside his ear was a voice he couldn’t be more familiar with: “Cannon two to five, this opening is a bit aggressive.”
