"Grandma, I won't be polite. I'll go to Li's house for dinner when the time comes."
Grandma Li was very happy when she heard this, "Xingxing, tell grandma what dishes you want to eat. Grandma will prepare the menu in advance and bring it to the kitchen when the time comes."
It was difficult to refuse the old man's kindness, and Nan Xing also knew how to appreciate it. He simply told Grandma Li a few dishes that she wanted to eat but couldn't.
After hanging up the phone, Nan Xing sent another message to Li Beitian about going to his old house and asked when Li Beitian would come back.
In fact, Nan Xing also wanted to test Li Beitian's tone and wanted to know whether Li Beitian was in the imperial capital.
Not long after, Li Beitian called Nan Xing.
The voice was very determined, "I will definitely be there on the day of the family banquet."
"Oh, that's great. Fourth uncle and you all are reunited, and I can also take advantage of it and join in the fun."
When Nan Xing didn't ask the reason, he changed the topic, "Fourth uncle, I will pick you up when you come back. I have a surprise for you."
"What's the surprise?" Li Beitian said with a bit of laughter on the phone.
Nan Xing avoided talking, "Since I said it was a surprise, I definitely can't tell my fourth uncle. My fourth uncle will know when the time comes."
Nan Xing repeated: "Fourth uncle must tell me when he arrives at the airport, and I will give you the gift as soon as possible."
"Yeah." There was some noise on the phone, and Nan Xing heard a sound similar to the call of some kind of bird. It seemed like a parrot?
The next second, Li Beitian told him to go to work and hung up the phone.
At the flower and bird market, Qi Zheng was carrying a beautiful gold cage in his hand, which contained a very beautiful budgerigar.
Qi Zheng didn't notice Li Beitian's phone call just now, so he teased the little guy a few times, and the little guy opened his mouth and spat out some Chinese quintessences at him.
That's what Nanxing heard on the phone.
Li Beitian's face sank and he looked at him displeased. Qi Zheng immediately lowered his head and apologized, "Fourth Master, I know I was wrong."
"Let's go to De Lao's place."
Li Beitian squinted at the little guy in the golden cage, then looked away and left the flower and bird market first.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and the servant of Yezhuang knocked on Nan Xing's door and called Nan Xing to come down for lunch.
Ye Tingshen was already sitting at the dining table, waiting for Nan Xing.
Seeing Nan Xing carrying a fish tank downstairs with a little turtle inside, Ye Ting frowned deeply, "Why did you buy this thing? Xiao Qi, do you like little turtles?"
Nan Xing placed the fish tank on the table, tapped the glass with his fingers, "I bought it to keep my eldest brother company."
"..."
Ye Tingchen's hand holding the chopsticks paused, and his face immediately fell.
He couldn't help but raise his eyes and take another look at the little turtle.
"Why did you think of buying this thing for me?"
Ye Ting is smiling but not smiling, his eating movements are very elegant, and the dignity of a big family can be seen in his bones.
"It's so lonely to see my eldest brother walking alone."
After Nan Xing finished speaking, Ye Yu, who was standing beside him, couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
At that time, he had just seen Ye Feng complaining in the group chat, saying that Nan Xing bought a turtle for his boss as a companion, but he didn't expect it to be true.
Don't tell me, this little turtle is quite beautiful.
After receiving the cold signal from Ye Ting, Ye Yu gave himself a sweet little mouthful and turned to look at the lawn scenery outside the window.
Ye Tingshen: "Xiao Qi, I'm used to being alone, so I don't think there's anything wrong with it."
"But big brother, Xiao Qi's wishes will be accepted. Thank you, Xiao Qi."
Nan Xing picked up the fork and put a piece of beef into his mouth. It was medium rare and tasted delicious.
"The Ye family has a great business, and the eldest brother is the only heir. Even if the eldest brother doesn't care, the elders in the family must hope that the eldest brother can continue the legacy."
What Nan Xing said was reasonable, but when Ye Tingshen heard the words "only heir", his heart sank.
At this moment, Ye Tingshen's cell phone rang.
Ye Tingshen stood up and left the dining table, walking to the side to answer the phone.
"Grandpa," Ye Tingshen called respectfully to the person on the phone.
"You bastard, I heard that you fought with Li Beitian over a woman named Nan Xing?"
Ye Ting frowned, "Grandpa, who did you listen to?"
"You don't have to worry about who I listen to. I reminded you not to have any contact with people from the Li family. Did you turn a deaf ear to my words?"
"grandfather……"
"I don't care what Nan Xing's background is, but don't forget that she is not your biological sister."
"Your first priority right now is to seize the time to find the whereabouts of your sister. While I am still alive, I hope to meet your sister in my lifetime."
Ye Ting clenched his fist deeply and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will find my sister's whereabouts at all costs."
"Well," the other side breathed a heavy sigh of relief, "When is the time to retaliate? After all, we were the ones who felt sorry for the Li family first. Remember, don't have any contact with the Li family again!"
Ye Tingshen said nothing. He just asked the old man to take care of himself and cut off the call.
Returning to the dining table, Nan Xing saw that his face was very ugly, so he couldn't help but say something more, "Brother, what happened? I see you are in a very low mood."
Ye Tingshen forced a smile and put a piece of fish into Nan Xing's bowl, "It's nothing, Xiao Qi, eat quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold."
Seeing that his elder brother didn't want to talk, Nan Xing didn't ask further.
After all, everyone has their own troubles and secrets in their hearts.
To untie the bell, the person who tied the bell must be tied. Perhaps not disturbing is the best help.
After eating, Nan Xing went back upstairs and took a hot bath.
After drying her hair, Nan Xing went to the flower room again for a walk.
While she was sitting on a chair leisurely admiring the gladiolus, a servant came to see her.
"Miss Nan Xing, Mr. Ye is looking for you. You are in the study room now."
Nan Xing said oh, stood up, clapped her hands, and went to the study to find Ye Tingshen.
As soon as he opened the study door, Nan Xing was attracted by the things on the desk, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Xiao Qi, I have brought the Yixincao to you. When will you use it?"
"We'll have to wait a few days," Nan Xing walked over excitedly and circled around the beneficial grass twice.
When the master was preparing pills for her, Nan Xing secretly discovered that there were some ingredients similar to those of Yixincao.
She happened to be running out of medicine, so as long as she had some fungus on hand, it could inhibit the recurrence of toxins in her body.
It's just that the growth environment of this heart-healthy grass is very complicated. In extremely cold places, there may only be a few plants in more than ten years.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is almost priceless.
That's why I have the opportunity to appear at the auction and become a target of competition for those in need.
Nan Xing had told Ye Tingshen about this a long time ago, but at that time Nan Xing still had the pills developed by his master, so he didn't take it seriously.
Unexpectedly, just by casually mentioning it to the eldest brother, the eldest brother would always keep this matter in mind.
