Chapter 22: I’ll chat with you about the tea classics another day

—We can’t even see each other.

Li Su felt reluctant in his heart, but he could only agree, “There’s nothing we can do about it, take care of yourself, call me when you have time.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Ye Xi frowned as soon as she entered the door.

Ye Xiaoyun saw her frown and asked, “What’s wrong, did the darling of the Wen family give you the cold shoulder?”

“No.”

Ye Xi responded and went to her room, Ye Xiaoyun followed her in and said, “Then why are you looking like that?”

“Did Xiao Yang give you the cold shoulder?”

Ye Xi heard this and immediately said, “He didn’t give me the cold shoulder, Brother Xiao Yang is just like that, he’s not very warm to anyone—”

“What kind of face did he make towards Wen Xiaoching?” Ye Xiaoyun interrupted Ye Xi, her words made her face change again and again.

Ye Xiaoyun saw Ye Xi’s face, she directly snorted coldly, “You’re not enjoying the good life, you have to have unrealistic dreams and climb high branches, be careful you don’t know how you’ll fall to your death!”

“Dad agreed, why do you always discourage me, Mom.” Ye Xi said angrily.

Ye Xiaoyun tapped Ye Xi’s forehead with her hand, “Your dad is just looking for benefits wherever he can find them, listen to him and you’ll be lucky if you get anything good!”

She finished speaking and said earnestly, “Listen to your mom, give up this idea, Xiao Yang only has that darling Wen Xiaoching in his heart, you—”

“So what if he does?! She won’t live long anyway!” Ye Xi shouted impatiently.

After shouting, both she and Ye Xiaoyun were silent.

Ye Xiaoyun came back to her senses first, she glared at Ye Xi and said, “It’s okay to say this in front of me, but I advise you to keep this thought to yourself, if you show even a hint of it in front of the Xiao family and the Wen family, be careful you don’t know how you’ll die!”

Ye Xi didn’t speak, she directly lay down and pulled the blanket over her head in annoyance.

Ye Xiaoyun looked at her, she knew she couldn’t reason with her, she sat by the bed and sulked for a while before going out.

…

Su Qingtan was eating breakfast early in the morning when the driver who had sent Duan Jinhuai to pick her up the other day came over.

He came to deliver the house keys.

“Miss Su, this is what the Young Master asked me to deliver to you.”

The driver’s attitude was very respectful, Su Qingtan was a little uncomfortable, “Thank you.”

The driver didn’t wait for Su Qingtan to speak, he quickly left.

Su Qingtan looked at the keys in her hand, she wanted to call Duan Jinhuai to thank him, she glanced at the time, it was 6:50, a little early.

She would call him after she went out for a walk.

Thinking this, she didn’t bring her phone, she took the few novels she had chosen last night and went to the leisure area.

Su Qingtan hadn’t reached the leisure area yet when she heard Wen Xiaoching’s voice behind her, “Miss Su.”

Su Qingtan turned around and saw Ye Xi next to Wen Xiaoching—

Damn, she ran into them again.

Ye Xi’s face was also a little stiff.

How could Su Qingtan be here?

How could she be qualified to stay in this ward?

How could Wen Xiaoching know her?

Before Ye Xi could figure it out, she heard Wen Xiaoching chatting with Su Qingtan, “Have you had breakfast?”

Su Qingtan: “I have, what about you?”

Wen Xiaoching: “I’ve also had breakfast, I came out for a walk to digest, are those books from the leisure area in your hand?”

“Hmm.” Su Qingtan nodded, “I chose them last night, they’re not very good, I’m going to change them.”

“I’ve almost finished reading all the novels here, do you want me to recommend a few to you?”

The more enthusiastic the two of them chatted, the more uncomfortable Ye Xi’s face became, Su Qingtan glanced at her, she felt amused in her heart, and once again complained about her own stupidity in the past.

Wen Xiaoching noticed Su Qingtan’s gaze, she quickly pointed at Ye Xi and said, “Oh, right, I forgot to introduce—”

“No need to introduce, we know each other.” Su Qingtan interrupted Wen Xiaoching, she said to Ye Xi, “Ye Xi, long time no see.”

“Um, yeah, long time no see.”

Before, whenever Su Qingtan saw Ye Xi, she either didn’t have a good face or directly verbally attacked her.

Ye Xi was afraid that she would talk nonsense in front of Wen Xiaoching, she responded unnaturally and then quickly regained her composure, “I haven’t had a chance to thank you for sending me to the hospital last time.”

“No need to thank me, it was just a small favor.” Su Qingtan said with a smile, “It was Li Su who worked hard, he was the one who ran around, you should thank—”

“Of course I should thank you.” Ye Xi immediately interrupted, “I should thank both of you.”

Wen Xiaoching was a little confused when she heard their conversation, she didn’t have any expression, but when she heard the words “both of you”, she immediately widened her eyes.

And her shock wasn’t over yet, because Su Qingtan said to Ye Xi again, “Didn’t Li Su tell you? I’m already divorced from him. We’re not a couple now, you can just thank him.”

Ye Xi also showed a surprised expression, “Divorced?”

Su Qingtan glanced at Wen Xiaoching, her gaze fell back on Ye Xi, “Ye Xi, you shouldn’t be surprised, you should be happy.”

One sentence, made Ye Xi’s face turn white.

Ye Xi opened her mouth to speak, Su Qingtan directly said, “I was wrong before, I knew Li Su liked you, but I still insisted on marrying him. During our six months of marriage, I saw his attitude towards you, since you two are so inseparable—”

“You’re wrong!” Ye Xi was anxious, she interrupted Su Qingtan loudly, she looked at Wen Xiaoching who was frowning and looking confused, she said to Su Qingtan, “Li Su and I have nothing, we’re just friends.”

Although I harmed you in my previous life, but in this life, I still don’t want to be nice to you.

Su Qingtan’s smile became even more warm and calm, “Oh, Li Su picks you up and drops you off, he cares about your clothes and food, sometimes he even holds your—”

Ye Xi became even more anxious, she interrupted Su Qingtan again, “Su Qingtan, you’re really wrong.”

“Okay.” Su Qingtan shrugged lightly, she smiled at Wen Xiaoching, “This kind of behavior between men and women, in my opinion, I don’t think it’s friends. What do you think, Miss Wen?”

Wen Xiaoching was still stuck in the fact that Su Qingtan got married and then divorced, she was suddenly asked, she reacted for a while and nodded, “Of course, there should be boundaries between men and women.”

Ye Xi’s face wasn’t white anymore, it was red, with anger.

She wanted to glare at Su Qingtan, but she was afraid that Wen Xiaoching would see through her, so she could only start sobbing with red eyes, “I’m sorry, Miss Su, I misunderstood you, Li Su and I have known each other since we were children, we’re childhood friends—”

Su Qingtan interrupted Ye Xi again, then she turned to Wen Xiaoching and said, “Miss Wen, I’m tired, I’ll go back to the ward, I’ll chat with you about the tea classics another day.” She finished speaking and left.

Wen Xiaoching didn’t understand what “chatting about the tea classics” meant, when she understood, she looked at Ye Xi who was sobbing, her face turning red and white, white and red.

“Xiaoxi, what’s going on between you and Miss Su?”

Ye Xi was extremely wronged, she cleared her relationship with Li Su, she also added fuel to the fire, she told Wen Xiaoching all about Su Qingtan scheming against Li Su.

Wen Xiaoching’s jaw almost dropped.

But thinking about Su Qingtan’s words, she didn’t completely believe Ye Xi—

As for Su Qingtan, she was happy because she had torn Ye Xi’s mask in front of Wen Xiaoching.

She went back to the ward and was about to practice a simple set of Tai Chi 36 forms, she had just started when her phone rang.

She took it out and saw that it was her father, Su Chun—
