CHAPTER 69: CHAPTER 69: A TROUBLESOME WOMAN (PART 9)

Tang Yanqi raised an eyebrow, ignoring their expressions, walked to her desk, poured a glass of water, and drank it all at once before speaking: "What’s happened?"

"Tangtang, you need to be prepared mentally."

Bai Xue, as gentle as ever, walked up to Tang Yanqi, holding her hand with an expression so pained it looked like she might cry.

"What exactly is going on?"

The usually noisy Qi Cheng remained silent, but Bai Bing, with her fiery temper, couldn’t hold back, and directly said: "Tangtang, yesterday afternoon, there was gossip posted on the campus forum with a picture of you sitting in a car, and next to you was a man at the entrance of Shengshi Group. That car is said to be worth millions, so some boring people claimed you were being kept."

Tang Yanqi furrowed her brows. Luxury car? Man? Shengshi Group?

For a moment she understood, it must be about her and Mu Yunfan.

Bai Bing was still indignant: "I think those people are just idle with nothing better to do, they’re sick."

"Where’s the post?"

"Forget it, Tangtang, don’t look at it, we know the truth, looking at it will just be frustrating."

"It’s okay, just show it to me."

Bai Bing took out her phone, pulled up the photo, and handed it to Tang Yanqi. Looking at the pictures and text, Tang Yanqi didn’t show any sign of displeasure or anger, instead she even smiled: "The resolution isn’t high enough, a bit blurry."

"Tangtang, you don’t even mind this?"

Tang Yanqi calmly returned the phone to Bai Bing: "It’s not that I don’t mind, the picture is real, but the words are false. It’s their delusional thinking. I don’t see the need to cure someone else’s delusions; that’s the job of a doctor, not mine."

Bai Bing, Bai Xue: "..."

Qi Cheng raised a thumbs-up: "Impressive!"

After a moment of silence, Tang Yanqi spoke up: "Aren’t you going to ask me what actually happened?"

"There’s no need to ask, it’s definitely not as they said."

The unconditional trust from her roommates warmed Tang Yanqi’s heart. The malicious words of others couldn’t hurt her, but the unreserved trust of her roommates made her feel like she was basking in sunlight.

Tang Yanqi beamed: "How about I treat you all to lunch?"

The moment the three heard the words "lunch," their eyes lit up instantly, and they spoke in unison: "What are we eating? What are we eating?"

Tang Yanqi tilted her head in thought: "Hmm... Braised beef, chicken stewed with mushrooms, and maybe some marinated beef?"

Their previously glowing eyes turned dull immediately, and the three exchanged glances for two seconds before Bai Bing spoke first: "Can I hit her?"

She said she was treating, yet it’s instant noodles? Can’t stand it!

"Sis, but I don’t think you can beat her."

"+1"

"Then forget it, let’s go, let’s go, to the cafeteria, ignore this stingy Tang."

Jokes aside, the four of them still left together laughing and cheering. Once they confirmed Tang Yanqi was alright, the four made their way to the second floor of the school’s cafeteria.

Tang Yanqi kept her word and treated them to lunch. Though it was just some stir-fry at the school cafeteria, it was all she could afford right now. The luxury hospital room that Sheng Jianan prepared for her was so expensive it hurt her liver.

If she spends anything more, she’ll be eating dirt for the days ahead.

Leaving the cafeteria, Tang Yanqi heard some murmurs and whispers, clearly about the campus online issue, but Qi Cheng and Bai Bing were indignant. Tang Yanqi smiled at them: "Come on, it’s okay, it’s their mouths, can you really shut them up?"
