“Dad…” The girl’s hesitant voice suddenly interjected.
Then, Chief Prosecutor Xia and his wife saw Tang Li hanging her head, her expression timid, speaking in a very low voice, “The school is asking me to pay a sponsorship fee of fifty thousand yuan. I’ve tried many ways, but I really can’t afford it.”
Wenyan: “…”
“You child, why are you only saying this now?” Ouyang Qian, somewhat embarrassed, both explained and smoothed things over, “Aunt has already transferred the tuition to your card in August, as for the sponsorship fee, you shouldn’t have hidden it from the family. It’s just fifty thousand yuan, when we go back later, Aunt will transfer it to your card.”
Tang Li stuttered, “I don’t want Aunt’s money, this way Yuanyuan won’t hit me.”
“!!!”
Lai Yuanyuan, angered, stamped her foot, “You’re lying!”
Seeing her foolish daughter about to lose control again, Ouyang Qian intervened, “You two sisters, even jokes have limits. Both of you go outside now, straighten out your matters, then come back in.”
“Mom!” Lai Yuanyuan felt aggrieved.
Tang Li, more than happy to comply, turned and left.
Exiting from the third-floor bowling alley, Tang Li didn’t stay any longer.
The club was large, with corridors running in all directions.
Her sense of direction somewhat lost, she could only rely on her memory to find the elevator.
Passing by the gym, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Ji Ming standing by the floor-to-ceiling window with a towel.
Guessing something, Tang Li stopped.
Following Ji Ming’s gaze, she indeed saw Song Baiyan himself.
Ji Ming, like Song Baiyan’s shadow, not only handled his daily trivial matters but also was responsible for his safety. Therefore, if Ji Ming is seen somewhere, one should pay attention, as more likely than not, Song Baiyan could be found there too.
Inside the gym, Song Baiyan was doing lat pull-down exercises.
Although she is out now, she couldn’t be sure that Xia Zhengguo and his wife would look down on her. With Wenyan and Ouyang Qian mediating in between, the phrase “well-matched in social and economic status” would be enough for the Xia Family to overlook some of her “improper” behavior.
Wenyan wanted to marry her into the Xia Family, which couldn’t have been possible without Ouyang Qian’s instigation in her last life.
And now the marriage being rushed was probably Ouyang Qian’s “punishment” for her.
—”Punishing” her recent disobedience.

Tang Li kept her right hand in her jacket pocket all this while.
Inside the pocket was a cigarette box she had been carrying around these days.
It was also what she took from Song Baiyan’s car that night.
Her fingertips touched the cool metal surface, making her fingers clutching the cigarette box tighten slightly.
In a flicker, some unrealistic thoughts flashed through her mind, too fast for her to catch, or rather, she didn’t dare to think deeply.
Just as she was about to leave, she saw Ji Ming coming out from the gym.
The towel was no longer in Ji Ming’s hands, and he was walking towards her, clearly having noticed her.
As he approached her, Ji Ming respectfully said, “Sir said, if Miss Tang is not in a rush, he has a few questions to ask Miss Tang.”
On Saturday morning, the gym was sparsely populated.
Tang Li followed Ji Ming in, Song Baiyan was sitting on the lat pulldown machine pad, wiping his hair with a towel.
Having led her in, Ji Ming quietly walked away.
Song Baiyan put down the towel in his hand, looked up at Tang Li, his gaze staying on her hair, deep and gentle, “Black hair indeed suits a girl of your age best.”
Tang Li didn’t beat around the bush, straightforwardly asked, “Mr. Ji mentioned… you had something to ask me.”
Song Baiyan didn’t deny it, but also didn’t immediately continue that conversation.
He picked up a water bottle beside the training equipment.
“…” Tang Li felt like she was left hanging.
