Capítulo 783: Chapter 783: If Any Die, I’ll Hold You Responsible

Tang Li gave a sly smile upon hearing the words, “It doesn’t matter that my uncle doesn’t like you. Men are animals that think with their lower halves. If you really do something, who knows if my uncle won’t lose his mind.”

Jiang Yiniing felt a pang in her heart, but she did not admit it verbally.

She tugged lightly at her lips, picked up a towel from beside the window, and continued drying her hair, her words casual and light, “Ah Li, if you’re going to doubt me like this, there’s nothing I can do.”

She now held some leverage over Tang Li and didn’t believe she would be driven away.

In this Lai Family, unless she herself no longer wished to stay, Tang Li truly didn’t dare do anything to her.

Moreover, Lai Wenyan’s attitude towards her had greatly changed.

Jiang Yiniing wiped her hair for a while and seeing that Tang Li still hadn’t left, turned her head back and gave Tang Li a faint smile, “I’ve told the truth already. If you don’t believe it, I really don’t know what else I could say.”

Tang Li finally spoke, “If you do something over the line, when the time comes, it won’t just be you being driven out.”

In the end, she was just afraid of being driven out of the Lai Family.

Jiang Yiniing sneered in her heart, and spoke to Tang Li without any pretense, lazily saying, “I’m not a child anymore, naturally, I will act with discretion.”

After finishing her words, she started to usher the guest out: “I’m planning to rest. If there’s nothing else, Ah Li, you should go back to your own room.”

Tang Li chuckled, “Since you are my assistant, it wouldn’t hurt to help me out a bit, right?”

Jiang Yiniing looked at her after hearing this.

Tang Li moved away from the dressing table, picked up a paper box from the bedside table, and set it down next to Jiang Yiniing, along with a big bag of mulberry leaves, “Take good care of them. I’ll check regularly, and if one dies, I’ll be looking for you.”

Inside the box were densely packed white silkworms.

Jiang Yiniing glanced at them and felt a wave of disgust.

She chuckled softly, looking up at Tang Li, “Although I’m your lifestyle assistant, I’m not a silkworm nanny, Ah Li, don’t push it too far.”

Tang Li asked, “Don’t want to take care of them?”

Jiang Yiniing did not respond.

“If you don’t want to take care of them, forget it.” Tang Li picked up the paper box again, “My uncle likes to eat fried silkworm pupae. I saw them on the street, so I bought some to raise for a while. I plan to cook them for my uncle when they form pupae. Since you don’t want to raise them, I guess I shouldn’t have to pay you as an assistant.”

After finishing, Tang Li prepared to leave.

Upon knowing that Lai Wenyan liked such things, Jiang Yiniing felt inexplicably queasy, but she quickly chose to accept it, seeing Tang Li about to leave, and immediately held onto Tang Li, “Wait a minute!”

“Changed your mind?”

“…” Jiang Yiniing looked again at the silkworms in the box. Lai Wenyan liked to eat this, and if she personally raised the silkworms into pupae, then personally cooked this dish for Lai Wenyan, it would be a good way to curry favor with Lai Wenyan.

So, suppressing her disgust, she took the paper box from Tang Li’s hands, “Put it here.”

Before Tang Li left, she suddenly remembered something, paused in her movement to open the door, and turned back to instruct Jiang Yiniing, “Remember to buy some mulberry leaves online tomorrow, and also, after washing the mulberry leaves, remember to dry them off. If you mess up, these silkworms won’t live till dawn.”

Once the door was closed, Jiang Yiniing imagined the satisfied look on Lai Wenyan’s face eating the fried silkworm pupae and looked towards the box of silkworms, her mind full of thoughts on how to raise them plump and healthy.

Tang Li came out from the guest room and made a trip to the bathroom along the corridor.

She reached under the washbasin and took out a button.

It was double-sided tape she had stuck there before leaving.

Inside Jiang Yiniing’s guest room, there was also such a tiny eavesdropping device.

By appearance alone, it looked just like an ordinary button.
