Walk.

The room lights suddenly went out.

Huo Yancheng: It's over, it's over, my brother has no chance.

Tang Li sat in the living room, curled up in a ball.

She simply didn't have any spare brain cells to think about her relationship with Huo Chenyu.

A flood of information rushed through her mind.

Huo Chenyu is Uncle Sheng's biological son.

But Uncle Sheng had no recollection of Teacher Xi whatsoever.

Many years ago, Huo Yishen, the father-in-law, took over the family when Ms. Xi was pregnant with Huo Chenyu.

He didn't care about becoming a father unexpectedly; instead, he had a grand wedding.

But after marrying her, he didn't love her.

On the contrary, during the duration of her marriage, she and her mother-in-law, Wei Chaoyu, had a son and a daughter and lived a happy life.

this...

Which part of the process went wrong?

What exactly happened between these three elders, Sheng Chaosheng, Xi Haitang, and Huo Yishen, back then?

Tang Li racked his brains, but still couldn't find a single clue.

That night, she nestled in the sofa and fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up in the morning, she was already lying in the spacious bed on the second floor.

The sunlight was completely blocked by the blackout curtains, and if Tang Lizhen hadn't glanced at her phone, she thought she could have gone back to sleep.

But when I looked, it was already 10:30 in the morning.

Startled, Tang Li quickly took out her phone and sent Ling Li her location.

Then I got up and opened the door to smell the aroma of food wafting from downstairs.

Tang Li looked at Lu Zhixing, who was busy in the kitchen, and walked over, feeling quite embarrassed.

"Fourth Brother, thank you for your hard work."

Lu Zhixing turned around and smiled at her:

"Next time, no matter how tired or sleepy you are, go back to your room to sleep. Also, remember to remove your makeup."

Makeup removal...

Tang Li touched her face; it was incredibly smooth.

She blushed involuntarily:

"Fourth Brother, did you remove my makeup?"

Lu Zhixing joked:

"Knowing you're treating guests to dinner today, and knowing you stayed up late last night, I even put a moisturizing face mask on you."

Tang Li felt somewhat uncomfortable:

"Thank you, Fourth Brother. Next time you see me looking like this, just pretend you didn't see me and don't worry about me."

Speaking of next time.

Lu Zhixing reminds:

"I've moved out of here. Remember to change the password and always be careful."

Tang Li scratched his head:

“You’re my own brother, what do I have to be afraid of?”

Lu Zhixing suddenly stopped using the spatula and said thoughtfully:

"But I'm afraid."

Tang Li, for a moment of inspiration, actually asked:

"What are you afraid of, Fourth Brother?"
