Chapter 83 A Rare Female Student
##Chapter 83 Embroidering in the Ginger? What kind of fantastical and bizarre event is this?
Jiang Li took off her baseball cap and mask, walked over unhurriedly, and sat down.

Xu Zhenghua bent down and poured her a cup of tea.

Jiang Li clearly felt the probing gazes of Qin Yichen and the others.

She ignored him, picked up her teacup, and said calmly, "Thanks."

Xu Zhenghua smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite with me?"

A group of people had a stereotypical impression of Xu Zhenghua: he was stern, cold, and never smiled.

This guy has such a fiery temper that he dares to go against even his direct superior.

But now their attitude towards Jiang Li is completely different.

They both respected and feared them.

As a result, everyone wore the same expression of astonishment.

Xu Zhenghua, the person involved, did not feel that there was anything wrong with it at all.

He returned to his seat, picked up his tablet, and eagerly showed Jiang Li the menu: "I've ordered these for you. Would you like anything else?"

Jiang Li said, "No need."

"Okay." Xu Zhenghua put the tablet back.

Qin Lin turned his gaze to Jiang Li, his eyes now showing a hint of scrutiny.

Is this really the minor celebrity Jiang Li, the one he found out about... with a lot of scandals?

Rong Xiu glanced at Jiang Li, then at Qin Yexiao, her eyes conveying a meaningful look.

She smiled and said, "I didn't expect the two of you to get together. It's quite sudden."

"We're not very close." Jiang Li took a sip of tea, her face expressionless. "My arm was scratched, and he got me some medicine."

Qin Yexiao: "..."

Song Qing knew Jiang Li all too well.

Celebrities make a living based on their looks, especially female celebrities.

In all his years in the entertainment industry, Jiang Li has only suffered one accident, during the filming of a fire scene, where he was burned.

She never took her injuries seriously and often forgot to change her dressings on time, which eventually left her with very noticeable scars.

Under Cheng Sijun's watchful eye, she went to the hospital for scar removal surgery.

With Qin Yexiao overseeing the application of medicine to Jiang Li, Song Qing felt relieved.

Qin Yichen and Shen Yu had different focuses than Song Qing.

It's just a scratch and some medicine. Is it really necessary for someone as big as Master Xiao in the medical field to do such a small thing?

Seeing this, Rong Xiu roughly guessed that Jiang Li no longer had those feelings for Qin Yexiao.

She didn't ask any more questions, only saying, "If you're free these days, come stay at my place for a few days. It's been a long time since I've seen you create anything. Embroidery will become rusty if you don't practice it regularly."

Jiang Li tapped her teacup casually with her finger, without saying a word.

Upon hearing this, the others looked at Jiang Li and were stunned.

Jiang Li...can embroider?

Has he also published any works?
Qin Lin recalled the scene of Jiang Li grabbing Fang Ziqing's hair and dragging her in front of the reporters' cameras.

Is this the kind of person who can sit quietly and embroider with needle and thread?

Embroidering flowers in ginger, what kind of fantastical and bizarre event is this?
Most importantly, it was Rong Xiu's tone.

So why is she so willing to discuss things and seems afraid that Jiang Li won't go?
The others first saw the aloof Xu Zhenghua pull out a chair for Jiang Li.

Then she saw the aloof Master Rong and his cautious attitude towards Jiang Li.

One shock after another overwhelmed them, leaving them completely unable to react.

When Rong Xiu saw Jiang Li hesitate, she knew that Jiang Li was trying to come up with an excuse to brush her off.

Before Jiang Li could speak, Rong Xiu conceded another step, her tone revealing a hint of urgency, subtle yet genuine: "If you don't want to become my disciple, I won't force you, but I can't let your talent go to waste."

Everyone: "..."

Master Rong wanted to take Jiang Li as his disciple, but Jiang Li refused?
This is Master Rong, Rong Xiu!
Queen of Suzhou Embroidery.

The worldview of a group of people, which was already turbulent and in turmoil, seemed to crack in an instant...

Qin Lin once again posed a profound question to himself.

Is this really the minor celebrity Jiang Li, the one he found out about... with a lot of scandals?

Jiang Li traced the porcelain teacup with her fingers for a long while before casually lifting her eyelids. She saw Rong Xiu staring at her nervously, waiting for her answer.

Two seconds later, she nodded.

She hadn't touched embroidery for a while.

Rong Xiu visibly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Alright, then I'll wait for you at the manor."

Jiang Li hummed in agreement.

The table was soon filled with exquisite dishes.

Qin Yexiao and Xu Zhenghua discussed the Du family's affairs. Xu Zhenghua toasted Qin Yexiao, thanking him for his help.

Although they don't need it.

But if someone helps them, they have helped, and they should express their gratitude.

Qin Yexiao and Xu Zhenghua are both the type of people who don't talk much, but the former is even more taciturn and indifferent.

Qin Yexiao picked up a piece of green vegetable for Jiang Li, but hadn't put his chopsticks back yet.

Jiang Li pushed aside the vegetables he had picked up and picked up a piece of spicy-looking volcano ribs for herself, eating it slowly and deliberately.

Qin Yexiao: "..."

The man ultimately said nothing, but silently poured her a glass of warm water to relieve the spiciness.

Qin Lin glanced at Jiang Li, then looked away blankly, his wrist stiff as he picked up food.

It turns out even his brother can run into trouble.

It was already past nine o'clock when I came out of Yunshang Pavilion.

Before leaving, Rong Xiu earnestly reminded Jiang Li again: "You promised me you would come."

Jiang Li paused for a second, then hummed in agreement.

Rong Xiu then bent down and got into the car.

Others were left feeling isolated.

Countless young ladies from wealthy families in the capital wanted to become Master Rong's apprentices and learn Suzhou embroidery, but none of them could catch Master Rong's eye.

So much so that since no one could become an apprentice, everyone took pride in "being able to enter Master Rong's embroidery course at Peking University".

But there was one person whom Master Rong was eager to take as a disciple.

They don't want it.

People are more infuriating than people.

A group of people watched Rong Xiu's car leave.

Qin Yexiao opened the passenger door and whispered to Jiang Li, "I'll take you home."

Jiang Li fastened her baseball cap with one hand, her voice coming from behind her mask, carrying a hint of ambiguity and indifference: "No need, I have something to do."

After she finished speaking, she stepped onto Xu Zhenghua's car with her long legs, bent down and got in, without looking back.

Qin Yexiao watched as two somewhat dirty black SUVs drove away in front of him, his dark eyes filled with a deep and unfathomable darkness.

Even if the man's aura wasn't that gloomy, it was just somewhat subdued.

Qin Yichen and his group still didn't dare to utter a sound.

Qin Yexiao only looked away after the rear ends of the two cars disappeared from sight.

He stood there for a few seconds with his eyes downcast, then turned around and got into the car.

***
Beidi Manor.

Seeing the group return, Qin Shan respectfully stepped forward, about to report the evening's mission to Qin Yexiao: "Master Xiao, tonight..."

"Go find Shen Yu." Qin Yexiao wasn't in the mood to listen, so he threw down the words and headed straight for the medical laboratory building behind the main building.

Qin Shan paused for a second, then came to his senses and said, "Yes."

He looked at Shen Yu and his group and found them all somewhat silent, wondering what had triggered them.

He frowned and asked, "What happened to you? Are you out of your mind?"

Qin Lin opened his mouth, paused for a moment, and then asked in a daze, "Just who is Jiang Li?"

Qin Shan didn't understand and looked at them in confusion: "What?"

Qin Yichen replied to Qin Lin, "Anyway, he's not an ordinary person."

He couldn't guess.

Jiang Li is really too low-key.

Master Rong's long-sought but unfulfilled disciple...

If her identity were to be revealed, the entire capital city would likely be shaken.

Master Rong was highly respected by the major families in the capital and held a very high position.

Even his brother had studied acupuncture techniques with Master Rong for a period of time and applied them to surgical procedures.

His brother is quite talented too, so why doesn't Master Rong treat him like this?
