Seeing Tang Li nod in agreement, Zha Zhongqi immediately became anxious:

"Why would you go looking for him? You should stay away from someone like him who only thinks of himself until his death."

As the saying goes, a dying person's words are often the best.

But he completely disregarded his son's feelings, knowing full well that his son had feelings for Tang Li, yet he still put him in a dilemma.

She even made her son sacrifice his life's love to preserve his last shred of dignity in life.

“Sister, listen to your brother. Since Song Beiye has brought this up, let’s not let this innocent person suffer the grudges of the previous generation. Let’s be patient and wait. As long as the truth comes out, I don’t care whether he repents while alive or his reputation is ruined after death.”

But the truth was only an arm's length away from her.

Tang Li just felt sorry for scumbag Zhong Qi.

She kept saying she would give the scumbag family an explanation, but she messed up at the crucial moment.

However, seeing how worried Zha Zhongqi was about her, she handed him a piece of paper:

"You probably know me better than Huo Chenyu all these years. I'm not the kind of coward who lets others bully me. I only respect Song Boying as an elder because of the Song brothers. Otherwise, who does he think he is?"

Why talk about seniority and hierarchy when dealing with someone who killed your father and mother?

Tang Li made up his mind:

“I respected his dignity, so he has to give me an explanation.”

The main issue is that she also owes the scumbag family an explanation.

Zha Zhongqi understood her inner anxiety. He struggled to raise his hand and place it on Tang Li's wrist:

“You know what? When I first escaped death, I had only one thought in my mind: I wanted to make the mastermind pay the price, destroy my family, ruin my reputation, and make me wish I were dead. But as time went by, I realized more and more that God gave me a second chance not so that I would waste my life on people who deserved it, but so that I could better cherish the most important people in my life.”

His hand really hurt, but Zha Zhongqi didn't let go; instead, he tightened his grip.

“I’m the only one left in the scumbag family. In my heart, Yunxi is my lover, and you are my family. We’ve already experienced a human tragedy in that car accident. Now, I just hope that you are both doing well.”

Tang Li gently removed his hand and slowly lowered it:

"Seventh Brother, wait for my good news. I definitely want to go to Lucheng, and I definitely want to see Song Boying. Instead of wasting your breath trying to persuade me, just promise me that you will eat well, drink well, rest well, and marry Yunxi once you have fully recovered."

The words "marry Yunxi" instantly ignited Zha Zhongqi's passion.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Tang Li, he had no choice but to go along with her:

"You can go, but you need someone to accompany you. Either Huo Chenyu or Lu Zhixing, you choose one."

Tang Li teased him:

"Can't I have my future sister-in-law come with me? Or are you worried about her suffering? Are you reluctant to let her go? Are you heartbroken for her?"

Tang Li had only said it casually, but Zha Zhongqi reacted as if he had discovered a new continent, wishing he could jump up immediately:

"Yes, yes, let Yunxi go with you. It's too unsafe to leave her in Tanzhou. I'm worried she'll marry someone else. I'll only feel at ease if you take her to Lucheng."

Tang Li couldn't guess what he meant, and asked in return:

"You really want me to take her?"

Zha Zhongqi looked at her with utmost seriousness:

"When have I ever joked with you, Seventh Brother? Good girl, take her with you, so that pretty boy won't be hanging around her all the time."

Fine, I'll take it with me!

Tang Li called Yunxi and asked if she had time.

From Yunxi came the sound of people urging them to board the plane.

"Sister Xi, you're...at the airport? On a business trip?"

Tang Li heard it clearly; Yunxi was indeed at the airport.

"I'm on a business trip today. You can stay at the winery as long as you like, eat whatever you want, and just tell Wenjiu if you need anything."

It really is time to go on a long trip.

Tang Li glanced at Zha Zhongqi and asked again:

"Where are you going? Judging from the tone of your voice, it sounds like you're going to be gone for a long time?"

Could it be that they're going to meet with their future in-laws to discuss marriage?

Yunxi has already boarded the plane:

"Go to Lucheng to meet a big client."

Tang Li was overjoyed:

"Are you going to Lucheng?"

Wouldn't that be convenient?

Yunxi smiled and said:

"You heard me right, I'm going to Lucheng, but this time you can rest assured, I'm not going alone."

Not the same person?

Tang Li asked cautiously:

"Who's going with you? Why didn't you bring the warm wine? She's the best drinker in the winery."

Yunxi laughed heartily:

"Who told you I brought someone from the winery? But then again, it won't be long before he is one of the winery's employees."

so...

"You brought Gu Ming with you?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Tang Li looked at Zha Zhongqi, then got up and walked to the window, asking softly:

"Sister Xi, what kind of client are you taking Gu Ming to Lucheng to meet? Is his leg better? Can he walk? If he can't walk, wouldn't he just be a burden to you?"

The key point is that Lucheng is a tourist city.

Taking him there was clearly meant to deepen their relationship.

Tang Li was somewhat anxious:

"Sister Xi, if you have to meet clients and take care of Gu Ming at the same time, can you manage? I happen to be flying to Lucheng today. Why don't you wait for me at the airport? I'll be there soon."

Yunxi declined, saying that she planned to have her honeymoon in Lucheng, and that she was coming with Gu Ming to scout the location in advance.

Tang Li was puzzled. Who would scout out a location before their honeymoon?

"Sis, are you disgusted by me being a third wheel?"
