Gu Linye angrily got up from the and rolled up his sleeves, he was clearly showing his violent temper and enmity against Tang Chi, "Mum is currently out, Brother isn't here too. I want to see who else can help you!"
After saying this, Gu Linye started to aggressively walk towards Tang Chi.
Although there were cleaning servants in the house observing the event, it was still an awkward situation.
After all, they wouldn't dare to offend the second young master of the house.
However, Tang Chi didn't show any signs panicking, in fact, she even wanted to retaliate.
Although her current body had thin arms and legs, her fighting instincts were still quite present. It wasn't as powerful as it was in the past... But for dealing with this kind of rich, good for nothing person? It was too easy.
Just when Gu Linye stepped on the stairs to approach Tang Chi, Qi Zhen suddenly appeared in front of the door, her sullen voice resounded the room, "Gu Linye, what are you doing?"
Gu Linye, who was initially angry, felt a cold wind behind him. He looked like a startled quail and immediately turned around while changing his expression. He smiled. "Mum, why are you back already?
Tang Chi looked over and innocently cried out, "Mother."
Qi Zhen held two shopping bags, it was obvious that she just came back from shopping. She coldly smiled at Gu Linye. "I remembered that your Sister-in-Law is going back to school this evening and just bought her some things. You haven't answered me yet, what were you going to do to your Sister-in-Law? You looked so aggressive!"
Qi Zhen ended her sentence with her brows were fully raised and a strict tone.
Gu Linye felt terrified upon seeing this, "I-I... I was saying hi to Sis-in-Law…."
Having said this, Gu Linye gave Tang Chi a glare before turning around to head upstairs to his bedroom.
After he left, Qi Zhen looked at Tang Chi with her expression softened. "Xiao Chi, that jerk didn't frighten you, did he?"
Tang Chi, of course, shook her head. "No, he was just fooling around."
In fact, she actually felt regretful that Mother suddenly appeared. Some day when no one was around she would definitely beat Gu Linye to a pulp.
Apparently, Gu Linye had the same thoughts regarding this towards Tang Chi too.
"Let's not talk about that disappointment. Come here, mum bought something for you, let's see if you like it."
Qi Zhen beckoned towards Tang Chi, the latter, of course, went to her. Qi Zhen passed her a bag and she opened it. It was a scarf.
"Mum thought about it. Everyone should be responsible for their clothes. However, it's still cold and dry in the imperial capital and I haven't seen you wear a scarf yet. You have to pay more attention to your health."
After saying this, Qi Zhen took out the knitted beige scarf and put it around Tang Chi's neck. Tang Chi really didn't like to wear scarfs as she felt that having something around her neck was suffocating and uncomfortable...
However, Tang Chi couldn't just refuse Qi Zhen's good intentions. So, she willingly let Qi Zhen put it around her neck. Qi Zhen looked at the result and smiled, "This suits you. This scarf is suitable to be worn with light-colored clothes, added with your petite face, it looks even better.
Tang Chi smiled politely.
Up close, Tang Chi could smell a faint pleasant scent off Qi Zhen. A woman like her was still very attractive at this age.
Most importantly, Mother-in-Laws were not known to be kind, especially if they were in a wealthy and respectable family like this. Qi Zhen was an exception to this hearsay as she was really nice.
At least for now, Tang Chi couldn't see any problems. In fact, she felt genuity in Qi Zhen's kindness and tenderness.
Clearly, the TV shows were wrong.
Qi Zhen straightened Tang Chi up, looked at her messy hair, and smiled as she said, "You just woke up? Why don't you go pack? Will you be having dinner at home or at school?"
Tang Chi thought for a moment before she said, "I'll eat at school. I promised my dormitory mate that I'll bring her dinner as well."
The most important thing for now was that Tang Chi needed time to process it all.
