The living room was much quieter.
The young master of the Li family fell into deep thought and still stood there talking to himself.
"It's none of your business. Why does it sound so familiar? Where have you heard it before?"
"Holy crap, no!"
"So you are the girl who was kept!"
Although Chen Xin has suppressed the headlines, the old cow eating young grass is still circulated on the Internet.
Especially the phrase "None of your business!"
Li Zihan just got off the plane and naturally didn't have time to see the deleted headline photo, but he had heard about it.
I just didn't expect that the protagonist of the topic was at my own home.
He was about to chase Li Zishen to find out more, but Chen Ma came over with a tray of tea.
"Master Zihan, drink some water first!"
"Mother Chen, that girl, no, that...her, what's her name?"
"Tang Xiaowan."
"Oh, Tang Xiao, which Wan is there? Could it be Wan Junxin's Wan?"
Mother Chen nodded, picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Li Zihan.
"Xiaowan, um, not bad, sounds good!"
Li Zihan drank the cup of tea in one breath, not even the chrysanthemums that he usually hated most were left, and all the tea went into his throat.
A coughing sound came immediately.
Mother Chen quickly ran to the coffee table to get a tissue. When she turned around, Li Zihan had already disappeared.
"Hey, this kid really hasn't changed at all!"
…
study.
Li Zi drank chrysanthemum tea with deep eyebrows and a smile.
Just now on the first floor, the girl did not deny her sister-in-law's identity in public. For whatever reason, the man felt proud of having won the battle.
However, when he looked up and saw Bai Long standing neatly beside him, he immediately frowned.
A hint of darkness flashed through his bright eyes.
"Have you checked everything?"
"Yes, everyone in Meiyuan was dismissed by Grandma Tang on July 12th, leaving only two bodyguards. On the night Miss Tang was attacked, one of the bodyguards was seriously injured in a car accident at the foot of the mountain. He is still there. In a coma, the other one is missing.”
"Why severance?"
Bailong: "..."
This is not the point, okay!
"They said they were going to settle down in Jiangcheng, and after settling in, they would sell the plum garden to Miss Tang... as a dowry."
"Oh, so that's it."
Seeing that Li Zishen's reaction was a little dull, Bai Long emphasized, "But what happened was that on the third day after the dismissal, Grandma Tang's family had a car accident, and Miss Tang..."
"What?"
"For some unknown reason, Miss Tang buried Grandma Tang directly without holding a funeral. The cemetery was located in the small bamboo forest behind the plum garden."
Li Zishen stood up and went to the floor-to-ceiling window, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.
He knew there was no funeral.
The reason why Tang Xiaowan did not hold a funeral was because her grandmother, Tang Mei, was an orphan. She lived in seclusion and did not like to interact with others.
After the car accident, he proposed to go to Meiyuan to help but Tang Xiaowan refused, and he was not even invited to mourn the old man.
It turns out you buried grandma there.
Beautiful scenery, beautiful scenery, not bad.
"What are the names of those two bodyguards?"
"The injured one's name is Cheng Shi. I've left someone to stay there. The doctor said he'll wake up after the intracranial congestion dissipates. The other one's name is Lin Xiaoxiao."
"You did a great job... on this matter."
"Thank you, Brother Shen."
Bai Long paused and continued, "The masked man in black mentioned by Miss Tang has never been found, but I found a Chinese medicine pill whose ingredients are somewhat close to the 8028 we developed before. I found it in the study. .”
As he spoke, Bailong put the box containing the pills on the desk.
"Brother Shen, 8028 is not..."
He seemed to have something to say, but when Li Zishen waved his hand, he left without saying more.
At this time, Chen Xin on the first floor has been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Bailong coming down, he immediately walked up to him.
"Do you know about Lin Ping?"
Bailong replied coldly, "Yes."
When Chen Xin saw the man pruning the flowers and trees coming, he quickly pulled Bai Long away to a deserted area.
"We all grew up together. Lin Ping already knows that he was wrong, so don't pursue it."
"Betrayal is betrayal."
"It is indeed wrong to give drugs, but it is not life-threatening. Let her go this time, right?"
"Since Miss Tang is Brother Shen's person, she is naturally the master of my Bailong. Lin Ping dares to do something that offends his master, which is unforgivable."
"Bai Long, you..."
"I still have something to do, so I'll take the first step."
…
At seven o'clock in the evening, Tang Xiaowan's long-awaited hot pot started, and it was held at the pavilion in the back garden.
She ordered everything herself in the restaurant and had her bodyguards pack it up and bring it back.
There are a lot of dishes, a total of 20 kinds.
At this dinner party, not to mention the cynical Li Zihan and Li William, and the upright Chen Xin, even Bai Long, who never joined in the fun, was called over by Tang Xiaowan.
Five men and one woman fit around the same table.
"I'm so happy today. It's the first time that so many people have dinner with me. Thank you."
The girl's opening remarks shocked everyone.
Li Zishen: First time? Memory restored?
Li Zihan: Damn, it’s so easy to be satisfied!
Bailong: An orphan like me.
William Li: It seems that there is no problem with Qi and blood, but what is the cause of the disease?
Chen Xin: What a cute little sister.
The two servants had already poured the wine.
Tang Xiaowan continued, "Little girl, please do it first, please do it yourself, brothers!"
The glass of white wine was drank without any hesitation, which made the elders present look at him with admiration, especially Li Zihan.
He is not a good drinker and is known as a drunkard.
"It's open enough. Brother, let me accompany you."
Tang Xiaowan rolled her eyes at him, "Not including you."
"Why not include me?"
When he said this, Li Zihan suddenly sneezed twice.
Everyone laughed in unison.
Li Zihan has been naughty and disobedient to discipline since he was a child.
Mrs. Li was worried that her education would not be good, so she sent her eight-year-old son to the most strictly regulated aristocratic school in Jincheng.
Even though he is now in college, he still has to participate in wilderness survival training during the winter and summer vacations. It is not until the end of the vacation that he returns to Nanjiang Villa where Mrs. Li lives for a few days.
In addition, Li Zishen is quite busy, so the brothers spend more time together and less time together. It has been a long time since they had dinner at the same table.
…
The small courtyard behind the kitchen.
At this time, Chen Ma, Uncle Cai, and his young apprentice were also eating hot pot.
"Miss Tang is so nice!" Uncle Cai took a sip of wine and glanced at Ma Chen from the corner of his eye.
The woman was wearing a cyan mid-sleeve dress without any accessories. Her hair was meticulously combed and tied into a simple bun at the back, which was very gentle.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that we would have a share. This hotpot restaurant is famous. You have to queue up to go there! Master, Mom Chen, you should eat more. It's really delicious."
While talking, Li Shiqi put a chopstick of mutton into Uncle Cai's and Ma Chen's bowls.
Mother Chen took a sip of tea and said, "Xiao Wan is a good girl." After a few seconds of pause, she continued, "Xiao Li is also good and very filial."
Li Shiqi chuckled, "Of course."
