Chapter 87 How dare Jiang Li!

"Jiang Li?" Yu Ruoqi spoke first, staring at Jiang Li in disbelief: "What are you doing here?!"

Jiang Li crossed her legs, turned slightly to the side, propped her face up with her wrist, and smiled.

Her slightly curved fox-like eyes shimmered with a captivating beauty, and she lazily asked, "Guess."

"This is Master Rong's embroidery room. What right do you have to be here?" Yu Ruoqi strode in, her disgust undisguised.

Madam Yu snapped out of her daze and narrowed her eyes slightly.

Recently, Jiang Li has been in the spotlight.

Even with mixed reviews, it didn't stop the name "Jiang Li" from frequently appearing before her.

Especially when Jiang Li offended the Du family, and she originally thought that Jiang Li would be kicked out of the capital and would never be able to come back in this lifetime.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't Jiang Li who ended up in trouble, but the Du family.

The capital city was transformed overnight. All of the Du family's businesses were wiped out, and the once-powerful family ceased to exist.

I wonder what kind of spell Jiang Li cast on that guy from the Qin family that made him do so much for her.

Suddenly, she remembered that when she entered the Rong residence earlier, she had seen servants leading several students inside.

This month, the training program will begin recruiting new students.

Jiang Li's appearance at the Rong residence, in Master Rong's private embroidery room, reveals her true intentions.

Madam Yu sneered inwardly. "They have quite the ambition. They're not satisfied with just getting involved with the Qin family; they even want to use the Qin family's influence to get into Master Rong's training program."

She looked at Jiang Li with disdain. With Jiang Li's embroidery skills, she thought she could become Master Rong's student?

What Madam Yu thought of, Yu Ruoqi also thought of.

She gave a mocking smirk: "Jiang Li, you don't think Master Rong's training program accepts just anyone, do you?"

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow, her red lips slightly curved, and said slowly and deliberately, "Even someone like you got in."

Yu Ruoqi's expression changed: "You!"

Jiang Li and Yu Xuanchen's engagement has been dissolved, and Madam Yu finds Jiang Li repulsive even at the slightest glance.

She said coldly, "Do you think that just because you've allied yourself with the Qin family, Master Rong will treat you differently?"

Jiang Li didn't speak, casually looking at her embroidery draft.

Seemingly feeling that something was missing, she picked up her pen and slowly added two strokes.

Yu Ruoqi scoffed: "Don't overestimate yourself. Everyone knows that Master Rong only accepts students based on their talent. You think you can get into the training program through connections? You're dreaming."

Madam Yu remained elegant and composed, saying, "Don't waste your time here. Before Master Rong returns, please leave the Rong residence."

Jiang Li didn't move. "My mother is doing this for your own good. Otherwise, once Master Rong returns, you'll be kicked out." Yu Ruoqi smiled, arms crossed, looking down on him: "Aren't you going to get lost?"

The voice just fell.

A furious shout rang out: "Who let them in?!"

The voice appeared abruptly, filled with anger, sending chills down one's spine.

Madam Yu stiffened, turned her gaze, and saw Master Rong standing at the door of the embroidery room, his face cold and unpleasant.

Entering Rong Xiu's private embroidery room without permission is a major taboo in the Rong family.

The housekeeper bowed tremblingly and said, "Please calm down, I will make them leave immediately."

Mrs. Yu clenched her fists and pinched her fingers hard to calm herself down. She stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, teacher. I was being presumptuous."

Rong Xiu's lips tightened and she lowered her gaze, too lazy to listen to her nonsense: "Get out."

Madam Yu's heart pounded, and she turned pale with fright. She forced herself to continue, "Teacher, please take a look at Ruoqi's work first."

She quickly gave Yu Ruoqi a look.

The latter immediately took out his painting from the scroll, walked to Rong Xiu, unfolded it, and nervously clenched his fingers: "Teacher."

Rong Xiu frowned, about to get angry, but then glanced at the artwork and paused.

Let's turn our attention to the artwork.

Upon seeing this, Madam Yu knew that the painting had caught Rong Xiu's eye, and she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Rong Xiu examined it for a few seconds, then looked up at Yu Ruoqi: "Is this your new work?"

His tone was meaningful, and there was something unclear in his eyes.

Mrs. Yu was on edge and didn't have time to think too deeply. She simply praised Yu Ruoqi: "Teacher, Ruoqi hasn't had a proper rest for a month in order to complete this work. What do you think of it?"

Rong Xiu didn't answer her, but stared at Yu Ruoqi's face: "I'll ask you one more time, is this embroidery yours?"

Yu Ruoqi met Rong Xiu's somewhat cloudy brown eyes and felt inexplicably guilty. She nodded shakily twice and said, "Yes."

Rong Xiu looked at Madam Yu, then at Yu Ruoqi.

Then, taking the embroidery from Yu Ruoqi's hand, she turned to Jiang Li, her tone noticeably gentler: "How did your painting end up in her hands?"

Mrs. Yu felt a sudden, overwhelming shock, as if struck by lightning.

Thank you for your support.
