Xu Yaran’s words and actions immediately angered the Situ family.
The Xu family would definitely not want the relationship between the two families to go down the drain just because of Xu Yaran. After apologizing to the Situ family and punishing Xu Yaran severely, this matter was finally settled.
Of course, Tang Li couldn’t care less about this.
Early the next morning, as soon as Tang Li went downstairs, she saw Butler Zhang walking in from the courtyard.
When he saw Tang Li, he quickly said to her, “Madam, Mr. Situ came to look for you just now.”
Tang Li nodded in response. Without asking why Situ Huang was looking for her, she walked out, obviously not wanting to talk to the man.
Butler Zhang quickly followed.
To his surprise, Tang Li went straight to the villa where the old man was staying.
It was still early. Tang Li went in to take a look at the old man’s condition. Seeing that he was awake, she talked to him for a while.
She didn’t expect the old man to ask about what happened to the Situ family yesterday. “I heard that Situ Huang’s son almost died. Did you save him afterward?”
“Yes.” Tang Li nodded. She guessed that Butler Wang must have told him.
The old man was actually very happy. “I’m surprised by your medical skills. I didn’t know you are able to save people from dying. From now on, you will be Situ Jin’s savior, and you can ask the Situ family for help if anyone dares to bully you.”
Tang Li did not expect him to say this. For some reason, an indescribable emotion welled up in her heart. In the Qi family, the old man was the only one who truly cared about her.
She smiled and said, “Father, I just need your help when it’s needed. I don’t need any help from outsiders.”
“Haha… Yes, of course.”
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Tang Li and the old man looked over and saw Qi Yihan walking in.
Other than him, Qi Lingxuan was also following behind him.
Qi Lingxuan followed behind Qi Yihan, looking cautious and fearful.
Qi Yihan called out first, “Father.”
Qi Lingxuan followed suit immediately, “Grandpa.”
The two of them were only a few years apart. Qi Yihan stood tall and straight, exuding a noble aura. Qi Lingxuan, on the other hand, was hunching his shoulders and lowering his head, looking like he was very uneasy about meeting the old man.
The old man’s gaze shifted from Qi Lingxuan to Qi Yihan.
Qi Yihan said, “Father, since Lingxuan is a member of the Qi family and has returned to the Qi family, I want to bring him along to discuss business.”
Not only was the old man surprised by that, but even Tang Li was also surprised.
Tang Li tilted her head to look at Qi Lingxuan’s reaction, and she happened to see a faint smile on his face.
As she saw that, her lips curled up into a smile, and then she looked away at the old man.
The old man considered it for a moment before saying, “You can decide for yourself regarding this matter. As long as he is talented in business, it’s good that you can teach him.”
Then, he added, “I heard from Butler Wang that Tang Li has been staying here for a few days. Since your wife is here, you can stay here, too. That way, you won’t have to spend all that time going back and forth.”
Qi Yihan suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Tang Li.
Tang Li looked back at him innocently.
She didn’t expect the old man to know everything.
Unexpectedly, Qi Yihan replied after thinking for a few seconds, “Father, I understand.”
“Good, I’m tired now. It’s about time I take a rest.”
The old man closed his eyes after saying that.
Tang Li stood up from the chair.
Qi Yihan waited for her to walk over before the two of them went out together.
Qi Lingxuan stood by the side for the two of them to leave first. Before he left the room, he took another look at the old man lying there, and a dark light flashed across his eyes.
At this moment, Butler Zhang and Butler Wang were standing in the courtyard.
The two of them were discussing the green plants planted in the courtyard. When they saw them come out, they walked over at the same time and called out respectfully, “Fourth Master, Fourth Madam.”
Qi Yihan said to Butler Zhang, “Help me clean up one of the villas over there. I’ll come over and stay tonight.”
Butler Wang corrected him boldly, “Fourth Master, your father said that you and Fourth Madam will be staying in the same bedroom.”
Tang Li glanced at Qi Yihan, wanting to see his reaction.
Unexpectedly, Qi Yihan did not reject. “Sure.”
Tang Li was surprised by his response, unable to believe that he would agree so quickly.
Qi Yihan then said to Qi Lingxuan, who was following behind him, “Come with me to the company later.”
Qi Lingxuan replied respectfully, “Yes, Fourth Uncle.”
In his mind, he was asking the Artifact Spirit, “Did Tang Li find you?”
The Artifact Spirit said with uncertainty, “Probably not. If she finds me, she’ll definitely pull me out and settle the score with me.”
As Qi Lingxuan heaved a sigh of relief, he asked again. “Do you think the old man will die in the next few days?”
“Under normal circumstances, yes.”
“What do you mean under normal circumstances? Without Tang Li?”
“Right.”
Qi Lingxuan glanced at Tang Li without batting an eyelid. No matter how he looked at her, he did not think she was that capable.
But at this moment, another voice entered his mind. “You guys are chatting very happily. Do you mind if I join you?”
The voice made the Artifact Spirit shrink back immediately.
At the same time, Qi Lingxuan’s body trembled violently.
Tang Li looked at Qi Lingxuan and asked with concern, “Lingxuan, what’s wrong? You’re trembling. Are you cold?”
Qi Yihan turned to look at him as well.
Qi Lingxuan did not expect Tang Li to be so capable. He did not dare to neglect her and immediately acted like a servant. “Thank you for your concern, Fourth Madam. I probably caught a cold because of the strong wind this morning.”
Tang Li nodded and said with concern, “Since you’re back at the Qi family, you’re one of the masters. If you don’t have enough clothes, buy them. Don’t be reluctant.”
“Yes, thank you, Fourth Madam.”
Tang Li was so concerned about Qi Lingxuan that Qi Yihan finally glanced at her and said to Qi Lingxuan, “Wait for me in the car.”
Qi Lingxuan nodded and walked out.
After Qi Lingxuan left, Qi Yihan looked at Tang Li.
Tang Li looked at him and said, “I don’t know anything.”
Qi Yihan pursed his lips and said, “Tell me about Father’s condition yesterday. I’ll go over to your place.”
“Okay.”
The two of them walked out of the villa.
Butler Wang stopped him, “Fourth Master, there’s something I want to tell you.”
Qi Yihan stopped. “What is it?”
Butler Wang first glanced at Tang Li before saying, “This morning, First Master called to say that he wants to see his father. He also said that he has lost something important.”
The news of First Master losing several priceless antiques had been going on for a day. He knew very well what First Master wanted to do when he saw his father. He wanted to accuse Qi Yihan and frame him.
He said, “Father is not in good health, so don’t let these trivial things bother him.”
Butler Wang nodded and knew what he should do.. “Yes, Fourth Master.”
