Kicked Back to a Rich Family by the Real Eldest Daughter - Chapter 15
Chapter 15
Xie Xiangyi left quickly, leaving only Zhang Yueqi and Tang Jinzhi in the house.
Zhang Yueqi began to unwrap the delicious food she had bought, her mouth still complaining that Xie Xiangyi was too competitive.
“She’s a victim of passive competition. That’s just how the hospital shifts are scheduled.” Tang Jinzhi defended Xie Xiangyi, then sighed again. “She works very hard.”
Nobody wanted to work this hard.
Zhang Yueqi nodded in agreement: “That’s true. Once, Xie Xiangyi was at the hospital all day. She was on duty for more than 24 hours. I happened to run into her, and she said everyone was like that.”
Tang Jinzhi rubbed her face: “I suddenly feel like something you said was particularly accurate.”
Zhang Yueqi blinked: “What?”
Tang Jinzhi: “Xie Xiangyi is a real workhorse.”
Zhang Yueqi: “…I’m going to tell your wife.”
Tang Jinzhi snorted lightly and didn’t continue the topic. She chose a fantasy cultivation drama that she was interested in.
She asked, “How about watching this one?”
Zhang Yueqi looked up, her movements to unwrap the food stopping for a moment. She turned to look at Tang Jinzhi: “This was very popular before. Haven’t you seen it?”
Tang Jinzhi blinked innocently: “Not just this show, I haven’t seen any of them, because I have amnesia.”
Zhang Yueqi’s eyes widened: “!”
She had almost forgotten that Tang Jinzhi had amnesia!
“Ah! Then you’re so lucky!”
“Come, come, give me the remote!” Zhang Yueqi excitedly took the remote from Tang Jinzhi, constantly exclaiming, “Oh my god! I want to have amnesia too, and rewatch all the anime, movies, and TV shows I’ve seen before!”
Tang Jinzhi raised her eyebrows, thinking that this was indeed a great idea.
Zhang Yueqi’s eyes lit up: “Let’s go! We’ll watch this historical drama first. This one was super popular. You could see it everywhere during summer vacation.”
Tang Jinzhi nodded: “Okay.”
Then she reached out to take the food container Zhang Yueqi handed to her.
Zhang Yueqi: “What do you want to drink? I’ll get it for you.”
“If we don’t have it here, I’ll order some more.”
Tang Jinzhi looked down at the exquisite meal she had just unwrapped, then looked at Zhang Yueqi.
Being served food, drinks, and having someone watch TV with her gave her the illusion of being waited on.
They say a person who is exceptionally attentive for no reason…
Tang Jinzhi pondered for a moment before asking: “Is there something you want from me?”
Zhang Yueqi tilted her head in confusion: “No, why?”
Tang Jinzhi paused. If Zhang Yueqi had something to ask of her, she would have found it normal.
But the problem was that she didn’t.
Tang Jinzhi had never been treated this way before, and she couldn’t just accept it.
Tang Jinzhi didn’t want to think of people as being as manipulative as herself, but she couldn’t accept the other person’s one-sided, baseless generosity.
If she were Xie Xiangyi, who had grown up with her, then what Zhang Yueqi was doing might be fine, but she wasn’t. They had only just met a few days ago.
Tang Jinzhi sighed deeply, feeling that she was being too sensitive.
She held up the food container in her hand and gestured: “You’re really good at doing this.”
Zhang Yueqi didn’t think too much about it. She quickly explained: “Maybe I do it too much at home. My mom makes me do this.”
Tang Jinzhi’s lips twitched. So it was a biological mom.
Zhang Yueqi: “And I do it at school too. I guess it’s a habit.”
Tang Jinzhi was stunned. She started to chat, “Do you interact with your other friends this way too?”
“Mhm. It’s just a little bit of food. We always have good food in our dorm. I’m the one who gets it all!” Zhang Yueqi lifted her chin proudly. Then she frowned, her tone a little low. “But one of my roommates doesn’t like me very much. She says I’m dumb.”
Tang Jinzhi was silent for a long time. “How do your other roommates treat you?”
Tang Jinzhi wanted to ask more directly, but she was afraid that her malicious speculation would hurt the innocent Zhang Yueqi.
Zhang Yueqi thought for a moment: “They’re pretty nice. We hang out a lot at school. They’re planning to come here to see me in a few days. They want to travel here.”
Tang Jinzhi put a grape in her mouth and asked casually, “When you go out, do you also treat them to good food?”
“Yeah, there’s no good food I don’t know about!” Zhang Yueqi’s tone was full of confidence. She sat cross-legged on the carpet, eating and typing on her phone to tell Xie Xiangyi that she also wanted to have amnesia.
After getting a cold reply from Xie Xiangyi, she put down her phone.
Then she looked at Tang Jinzhi, who was staring at her with a complicated expression.
“By the way, do you want to go see the cherry blossoms? I’ve already planned where to take them, and I’ve bought the tickets. I know a lot of fun places.”
Tang Jinzhi’s breath caught in her throat: “You bought tickets for everyone?”
Zhang Yueqi nodded: “I bought tickets for all the activities they want to do and for the scenic spots. You can come too. You just have to have fun. Anyway, your wife doesn’t have time to be with you.”
Tang Jinzhi didn’t care about the naive kid’s teasing anymore. She just frowned and looked at her.
She couldn’t help but ask, “Then what did they prepare?”
Zhang Yueqi: “Themselves.”
Tang Jinzhi’s expression became a little serious: “I’m asking what they prepared for you?”
Zhang Yueqi thought for a long time and then said: “…Does hanging out with me count?”
Tang Jinzhi: “…”
“Have you ever talked to Xie Xiangyi about them?”
Zhang Yueqi thought it was strange: “Why would I talk about them?”
After that, she looked at Tang Jinzhi with a look of accusation, “And Xie Xiangyi doesn’t have time to chat with me at all.”
Tang Jinzhi: “…”
Tang Jinzhi didn’t jump to conclusions based on a few words, but one thing she was sure of: Zhang Yueqi was very simple and very kind.
Tang Jinzhi sighed deeply and didn’t comment on the other person’s matters.
Nobody liked to be lectured for no reason, and nobody liked to hear others talk bad about their friends.
Tang Jinzhi quietly took out her phone and started messaging Xie Xiangyi again. She felt that Xie Xiangyi should have been here to hear this.
Tang Jinzhi: “Isn’t your little kid too simple?”
Xie Xiangyi: “What little kid?”
Tang Jinzhi: “Zhang Yueqi.”
Xie Xiangyi: “Oh, she said she also wanted to have amnesia. I already told her to get lost.”
Tang Jinzhi: “…”
Zhang Yueqi reached out and waved her hand in front of Tang Jinzhi’s face. “What are you two chatting about? Are you coming or not?”
Tang Jinzhi was stunned for a moment: “Coming to what?”
Zhang Yueqi looked speechless: “To see the cherry blossoms, of course. To hang out.”
Tang Jinzhi spread her hands: “I won’t go. I don’t know them, so it’ll be awkward.”
After hearing her say that, Zhang Yueqi’s shoulders slumped.
“Fine. Xie Xiangyi never hangs out with me either.”
Tang Jinzhi coaxed helplessly: “Because she’s very busy.”
Zhang Yueqi cupped her face in her hands and sighed deeply: “I know she’s busy. I just feel like, among all of us rich kids, I’m the only one who’s free.”
Tang Jinzhi chuckled softly: “Who says they’re a rich kid?”
Zhang Yueqi: “Oh, I was just talking about my roommates and remembered the nickname they gave me.”
Tang Jinzhi: “…”
Tang Jinzhi looked up at the sky, speechless.
Zhang Yueqi: “Why aren’t you talking?”
Tang Jinzhi’s eyes were dull: “I miss Xie Xiangyi a little.”
Zhang Yueqi: “Yikes~ She just left.”
Then she rolled her eyes, took out her phone, and messaged Xie Xiangyi, “Your wife says she misses you.”
