Chapter 1957: Don’t Think Too Highly Of Yourself

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The car stopped in front of the Ye residence.

Li Tingshen didn’t even pull the handbrake.

He leaned back in his seat and stared at the closed door of the Ye residence. His slender fingers tapped on the steering wheel.

After a long while, she retracted her gaze and turned to look at Liang Xuer.

His face was cold and his voice was cold.

“Who told you that if you hate someone, you must like someone else?”

Liang Xuer’s eyes turned red. “Can I take it that you don’t like Ye Qingqiu?”

Li Tingshen pursed his lips and his eyes darkened.

“But do you really not hate me because of Ye Qingqiu?”

It was suspicion and questioning.

Li Tingshen suddenly smirked and chuckled.

That laugh stunned Liang Xuer.

She had never heard him laugh before.

However, this laughter was filled with sarcasm and arrogance.

He placed his hand casually on the steering wheel and looked at her with a faint smile.

“Don’t think too highly of yourself.”

Liang Xuer’s face turned red and white. Shame and anger made her lose all her pride in front of Li Tingshen, but there was nothing she could hide.

“… You…” Liang Xuer’s lips and heart trembled as she choked. “Are you trying to cut ties with me by saying all this?”

Tears streamed down her face.

“Auntie Lian has only left for less than an hour and you’re already in such a hurry?”

Li Tingshen’s expression did not change. “What’s our relationship?”

Liang Xuer was speechless.

“In my eyes, you’re only the daughter of my mother’s best friend. Do you think I have to spend time to distance myself from this relationship?”

It was a dispensable and unimportant relationship.

To him, she was nothing.

Liang Xuer’s lips were bitten.

After a long while, she suddenly laughed.

“In that case, why are you wasting your time talking to me? Li Tingshen, don’t you have any other intentions?”

Li Tingshen frowned.

The door of the villa opened and a slender figure appeared.

Li Tingshen watched as the figure walked over. His phone rang at the same time.

It was a call from Ye Qingqiu.

Li Tingshen looked over and saw the caller ID. He pulled the handbrake.

Then, she picked up the phone.

Liang Xuer’s lips twitched. She wanted to smile, but she couldn’t.

He had no intention of speaking to her as she sat beside him.

A call from Ye Qingqiu was worth it.

Was this a phone call?

Li Tingshen answered the call and looked at Ye Qingqiu.

“What’s the matter?”

Ye Qingqiu walked over and said, “Come in. Why did you stop at the door?”

There were only two people in the car, so Liang Xuer could hear the voice clearly.

That bright and cheerful voice disgusted Liang Xuer.

She unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door and got out. When she closed the door, she used all her strength.

Seeing Liang Xuer getting out of Li Tingshen’s car, Ye Qingqiu suddenly stopped in her tracks.

She had heard from the servant that Liang Xu’er had gone out early in the morning. However, as she was too lazy to care about her whereabouts, she did not probe further.

He didn’t expect her to be with Li Tingshen.

Her gaze landed on the figure driving the car. She raised her eyebrows and said,

“What’s going on?”

A few seconds later, Li Tingshen got out of the car and hung up.

Ye Qingqiu put away her phone and walked over.

She asked calmly, “Why are the two of you together?”

Liang Xuer looked at her coldly. “What’s your relationship with him? Does he need to explain to you who he’s with?”

Before Ye Qingqiu rolled her eyes, she closed her eyes slowly and glanced at him.

“You didn’t put salt in your breakfast, right? What’s my relationship with him? Do you want him to explain to me that you have nothing to do with him? Also, you’re really full of bad habits. Can you have some self-awareness? Don’t take yourself too seriously. If you want to put on airs in front of others, why are you trying to make your presence known to me?”

Don’t take yourself too seriously…

These words were exactly the same as Li Tingshen’s.

The bag in Liang Xuer’s hand was deformed.

After being humiliated by Li Tingshen and Ye Qingqiu, she felt embarrassed. Seeing that Li Tingshen had no intention of helping her, she bit her lips and ran away.

Ye Qingqiu glanced at Li Tingshen’s car before making a call.

“Miss.”

“Bring me the disinfectant spray.”

—

She was only satisfied after getting the servants to spray disinfectant on Li Tingshen’s car.

“Aunt Lian has returned to Country M?”

Li Tingshen leaned against a banyan tree outside the door and grunted.

Ye Qingqiu nodded. “Consider this the reason you gave me.”

Li Tingshen pursed his lips. She was really easy to talk to.

Ye Qingqiu played with the car door and opened and closed it.

It repelled the smell of disinfectant.

Li Tingshen watched her play for a while before he stood up and walked to the car. He took the car door from her and closed it forcefully.

“If you want to play, go to your garage.”

With that, she went to the driver’s seat.

Ye Qingqiu opened the car door again. Li Tingshen, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, turned his head to look at her coldly before sitting in the passenger seat.

He pursed his lips. “Ye Qingqiu.”

Ye Qingqiu fastened her seatbelt and turned to face Li Tingshen.

That face was exquisite and beautiful.

“Li Tingshen, you have to remember one more thing. In the future, don’t let any other woman sit in the passenger seat of your car.”

Li Tingshen unbuckled his seatbelt.

Ye Qingqiu continued, “Do you feel that it’s very challenging to work for the first time yesterday? Although I don’t know how to manage the company, it’s… very tiring. However, I think you might like this kind of challenge. Managing the company alone and monopolizing power sounds very impressive.”

Just like those generals in television dramas who fought on the battlefield, they led thousands of soldiers and horses, valiant and awe-inspiring…”

Li Tingshen’s lips curled into a faint smile.

Should she be called naive or childish?

“I’m looking forward to the day you become a general. You’ll definitely be more handsome than you are now.”

With that, she patted Li Tingshen’s shoulder and said, “Good luck. It’s been hard on you. My child and I will depend on you in the future.”

Li Ting’s gaze swept across her flat stomach and finally landed on her.

After a few seconds of silence, he started the car.

“Where did you go yesterday?”

“Huh?” Ye Qingqiu lowered the mirror and tidied her hair. When she heard his voice, she didn’t stop. She reacted and said, “Milk Tea Shop, restaurant.”

Her beautiful eyes darted around before she turned to look at him with a smile. “Why are you suddenly concerned about my whereabouts?”

Li Tingshen’s expression didn’t look good. He didn’t answer her question and said coldly, “Get out of the car.”

Ye Qingqiu leaned back in her chair. “No, take me for a ride.”

“I want to go to the company.”

“Then bring me to the company.”

“Ye Qingqiu.”

“I’m here. I won’t disturb you. Hmm… Wait a moment, I’ll get someone to take out my homework. You can work while I study.”

With that, she dialed a number.

She was determined not to get out of the car.

The servant moved quickly and placed her bag in the backseat.

“Go back and tell my father that I’m going to the company.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Ye Qingqiu turned to look at Li Tingshen. “Alright, let’s go.”

Although Li Tingshen’s face was cold, he still started the car.
