Tang Wan hung up the phone, and Xi Fangli was still smiling at her, "That girl doesn't have time?"
"She said she's meeting a colleague."
"Knowing I'm back in Beijing, she wouldn't even spare a meal to accompany me. All my affection for her is wasted."
Before Tang Wan had become his apprentice, Xi Fangli had observed her for a while.
It was nothing more than finding the young lady delicate, spoiled at home, unable to endure hardship, specifically to give her a hard time...
There was a period when Tang Wan went home with blisters developing on her fingertips and palms, which, apart from testing her determination, was also to tell her that learning a craft is difficult, and if she couldn't endure hardship, she should go home earlier.
Later, when Shen Shuci came back to visit her family during the holidays and saw Tang Wan's condition, she met Xi Fangli in private.
