Tang Li smiled calmly:
"Since Miss Han has spoken, whatever the stakes or the punishment, I, Tang Li, will accept them all."
This was considered giving Han Ruoling some face.
At the same time, it was also a test of Han Ruoling's character.
If she were like Song Xiling, using low-level methods and disregarding the consequences, then Tang Li's preemptive strike could be considered as occupying the moral high ground.
When masters clash, the difference in skill is usually imperceptible to others.
Those who didn't know the situation might have thought they were simply being modest and yielding to each other.
Han Ruoling had to admire her opponent's intelligence; he had mastered the art of strategic retreat.
"As the saying goes, 'Sit quietly and reflect on your own faults, and refrain from gossiping about others.' Regarding tonight's matter, everyone has a clear understanding of their own actions. Please go back and examine yourselves three times a day. You all know right from wrong. However, this is enough to prove that everyone wants to know more about Miss Tang. How about we make a bet on a dinner party? Everyone here can come, have a drink, and make some friends."
A dinner party as a wager?
Tang Li had no idea what Han Ruoling was up to.
But since she had already made her decision, she nodded in agreement:
"As Miss Han suggested, if I lose, I'll prepare a banquet and invite everyone to come and support me."
Lin Qinghao and Wang Ning were confused. After exchanging a glance, Lin Qinghao encouraged Wang Ning.
Wang Ning then opened his mouth and asked:
"What kind of bet is this? Please explain, Miss Han."
Han Ruoling smiled calmly and generously:
“It’s not a bet, nor is it a punishment. It’s just that I’m different from you. I want to get to know Miss Tang in a different way.”
There's a saying: never try to understand me based on what others say, because I treat everyone differently.
Han Ruoling's words actually distanced her from Lin Qinghao and the others.
Don't assume that Han Ruoling's refusal to associate with Lin Qinghao, Wang Ning, and others means she's Tang Li's friend. Her killer moves are all hidden in the shadows.
Yunxi couldn't help but squeeze Tang Li's hand.
After all, Song Xiling's condition for issuing the challenge was that if Tang Li lost, he would have to hold such a banquet.
I ask you, in this world there are plenty of banquets held for joyous occasions such as moving to a new house, promotion, longevity, and weddings. Who would celebrate their own failures?
It's so shameful to force a smile and throw a big celebration when you've clearly lost the game.
Tang Li knew Yunxi's worries, but she still reached out her hand:
"Ms. Han, then we'll see you on the field."
After shaking hands with her, Han Ruoling lowered her head, stared at Tang Li's feet, and said:
"Humans only have one brain and two ears, but there are ten thousand kinds of sounds in the world. Miss Tang doesn't need to listen to every single one. I hope Miss Tang can rest and recuperate for the next two days. I don't want to win without honor."
Tang Li thanked him.
Someone shouted:
"What kind of competition is it? Can we go and watch?"
Song Xiling nodded with great confidence:
"Of course, Tanzhou is going to hold its first circuit championship in a couple of days. The drivers who will participate are the best from all the major clubs."
It was a race car!
Lin Qinghao suddenly felt great. Looking at Tang Li's frail appearance, how could she still race a car?
I'm afraid that if the wind blows, I'll be lost somewhere.
On the contrary, Song Xiling's confidence must mean he knows Han Ruoling's strength.
The previously tense side room suddenly became bustling with noise.
Everyone began to look forward to this match.
Only Yunxi remembered that this was a betting game, and asked loudly:
"Miss Han only said that if my Lili loses, she will host a banquet to have everyone drink and chat. What if Miss Han loses?"
Han Ruoling smiled knowingly:
"We shall take Miss Tang's words as the final word."
She also handed the initiative over to Tang Li.
Tang Li nodded easily:
"I share the same idea as Ms. Han, and I also want to get to know Ms. Han better. So I think this banquet is a must, it's just a matter of who hosts it."
The loser is the host.
It's a huge joke!
Yunxi tugged at Tang Li's sleeve and whispered in her ear:
"Tonight, they were the ones who bullied you. Why don't you ask them to apologize to you in public?"
Tang Li leaned closer to his ear:
"There was no need for that. They just said a couple of harmless things to me, but I actually slapped them a few times. In a way, I got the better deal."
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
Once this happens, there are absolutely no winners.
People who talk about right and wrong never think they are wrong.
Even those who are slandered cannot control public opinion.
Most importantly, if Tang Li continues to dwell on this matter, it will make him seem petty.
The farce was thus brought to an end.
Tang Li made an excuse to go back and rest and left first.
Gu Ming still had things to do, so Yunxi saw Tang Li off first.
Although the process was completely different from what was initially expected, the result was what Zha Zhongqi was happy to see, and Tang Li could be considered to have successfully completed the mission.
Sitting in Yunxi's carriage, Tang Li let out a long sigh of relief.
Before Yunxi could even complain a few times, Song Beiye had already opened the car door and gotten in:
"Two beautiful ladies, would you mind giving me a ride?"
"mind!"
"mind!"
Tang Li and Yun Xi refused in unison.
Song Beiye lingered in the back seat:
"Then I won't get off the bus."
Yunxi turned around and stared at him: "Young Master Song, the competition is about to begin. You and Lili should each go your own way. It would be better if you didn't meet before the competition."
Song Beiye laughed loudly:
