Chapter 557: Chapter 557: Even the Most Capable Man Can Lose His Head

Song Jingtian was wearing small leather shoes, appearing at the bathroom door, holding up his pants as he rushed into a stall. Tang Li unconsciously glanced over and found the little guy peeing inside.

Xiao Minglan asked her, “Haven’t had dinner yet?”

“No.” Tang Li replied truthfully.

Had it not been for receiving Song Jingtian’s call, she would have bought dinner back from the cafeteria.

At that moment, knowing Xiao Minglan was in the dormitory, she couldn’t care less about anything else and ran back to Wentan Garden at top speed.

“It just so happens that Jingtian and I haven’t eaten either.” Xiao Minglan’s gaze softened a bit as she looked at Tang Li, “There are quite a few dining places near your school. Let’s just pick any one.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Minglan went to find a tissue to wipe her hands.

After Song Jingtian finished peeing, he bumped into Tang Li, “Isn’t it a surprise?”

While saying this, he made faces at Tang Li.

Tang Li whispered back, “It’s not a surprise, it’s a shock.”

Outside the restroom, Xiao Minglan hurried them.

Song Jingtian ran out first, pulled the key from the door, squatted beside the plant outside, picked up the dwarf bamboo plant with his chubby hands, placed the key properly, then put the dwarf bamboo plant back in place.

This pot of dwarf bamboo, was where Tang Li and her dormmates hid their spare key.

Clearly, Song Jingtian had figured out the key trick long ago.

For dinner, Tang Li deliberately chose a secluded restaurant.

Although Xiao Minglan was low profile bringing Song Jingtian, there were still six or seven bodyguards following. Tang Li requested a private room and after sitting down, she handed the menu to Xiao Minglan.

Xiao Minglan flipped through two pages, selected a couple of light dishes, and let Tang Li order the rest.

Tang Li held a pencil and marked on the menu.

When Tang Li looked down, Xiao Minglan noticed the slight redness on her left face.

Initially, in the dormitory, Xiao Minglan thought that Tang Li was blushing from embarrassment, but now, she realized something was wrong. It looked more like the mark from a hit, albeit not very noticeable.

“Did you shoot today?”

Upon hearing Xiao Minglan’s inquiry, Tang Li looked up and then replied, “I’ll go to Lishan in a few days. Today I accompanied my roommate to her filming set. Later, I ran into some issues and went back to my relative’s place where I previously stayed.”

Xiao Minglan knew about Tang Li’s mother’s death.

As for Tang Li’s biological father, she never mentioned it, and Xiao Minglan never asked.

Everyone has their secrets, why force them.

From Tang Li’s response, Xiao Minglan deduced that the injury on Tang Li’s face was probably received at her relative’s place. And as for who did it… After all, relying on others is not easy, and with this thought, Xiao Minglan spoke again, “In early June, rainy days are frequent. When going out alone, remember to bring more clothes.”

Tang Li nodded, then stood up, “I’ll take the menu to the owner.”

When Tang Li returned to the private room, Song Jingtian was eating pistachios, and Xiao Minglan sat quietly. When she sat back in her place, Xiao Minglan broke the silence, “I saw the news online, you went to the United Kingdom?”

“…Yes.”

“You and our boss, I’ve always hoped to keep it low-key.”

Hearing this, Tang Li did not argue.

Seeing her docile appearance as if being scolded, Xiao Minglan’s words reached her mouth, but she didn’t know how to express them. After a while, she continued, “Your interview denial at the airport was correct. Even the most capable man can have his moments of folly. The more this is the case, the more you should act cautiously to avoid unnecessary trouble later.”

“I understand.” In admitting her mistake, Tang Li was clear: “That day on Weibo, it was indeed too reckless of me.”
