Chapter 36 This is their home

After He Qian explained everything to Yang Xiao, he returned to Ciyun Pavilion.

When I entered the house, I saw Song Li sitting at the dining table eating.

"Young Master is back!" Liu Mingzhen sat on the right side of Song Li, sometimes teasing her to eat more and sometimes picking up food for her. When she saw He Qian coming back, her smile became even brighter.

Song Li paused for a moment, his hands and mouth movements paused, and his heart began to panic again.

He Qian walked over here and noticed the instinctive fear emanating from her pupils.

"Why are you back at this time?" Liu Mingzhen didn't ask him if he had lunch because it was already past three o'clock.

He Qianluo sat in the main seat and said, "I haven't eaten yet."

"Oh my! What's going on?! It's already so late. How can work be more important than your health? Yang Xiao is such a fool! He didn't even remind you of the time!" Liu Mingzhen scolded him as she walked into the kitchen. "There's only plain porridge. Eat some to fill your stomach first. I'll make something richer for dinner!"

"Okay." He Qian's eyes never left Song Li's face.

Song Li had already guessed that, given He Qian's personality, if she didn't obey him, he would use even more powerful means to deal with her. He must have planned something that would make her suffer unbearably...

He Qian saw that her face still looked very bad, and originally thought that just coming back to see her would be enough, but since she was awake, he also hoped to hear her voice.

"Shouldn't you tell me something?"

Song Li pinched the porcelain spoon between her fingers, squeezing so hard that her fingernails turned white. What else could she say? She just kept admitting her mistakes and then went back to Qingtong Cemetery to kneel for Aunt Hua and Qin Xiang for the whole day!

Liu Mingzhen came out with a bowl of porridge and stood in front of He Qian, deliberately blocking his view of Song Li. "What are you talking about? Li'er just woke up. Don't you see that she looks listless? If you have any work matters, talk to your company. We won't talk about work when we get home."

For some reason, when He Qian heard what Liu Mingzhen said, it was like a warm breeze blowing on his face. Home...

This is his and Song Li's home.

Liu Mingzhen took care of He Qian since he was a child. She took care of almost all of his life before he was twenty years old. She spent more time with him than with his parents, so He Qian respected her very much and has been supporting her until now.

The fact that she could call Song Li "Li'er" was a kind of recognition and affection... He Qian was actually a little relieved.

Song Li found that he was silent because of Liu Mingzhen's words. It seemed that she could still escape the disaster as long as Aunt Zhen was in Ciyun Pavilion.

But what she didn't expect was that after eating the porridge, He Qian didn't even think about leaving Ciyun Pavilion and went straight into his study.

Liu Mingzhen went to the supermarket to buy ingredients for dinner.

After Song Li called home, the pain in her knee came back like a seizure. Before she could walk again, she hurried into the bathroom and put hot water in the bucket.

Soaking in hot water is the most effective method she has used to relieve pain.

The hot water soaked her entire calf. She used a towel to scoop up the steaming hot water and applied it to her knees. She sat on a stool, leaning against the vanity. The entire bathroom began to rise with warm white mist...

The moment the pain was relieved, Song Li really wanted to fall asleep. Not to mention how comfortable it was, she would be satisfied if she could get rid of even the slightest bit of pain...

She had to get better quickly, as He Qian's next round of torture could come at any time, and the family's money wouldn't last for a few more days.

He Qian had been standing behind her since she made a sound in the bathroom, watching her run the water, roll up her trouser legs, soak her feet, and lie on the table...

He also clearly saw that her right knee was more seriously injured, with the outermost layer of skin turning bluish purple.

Perhaps the towel applied to her knees became cold, so she put it back into the bucket, waited for the towel to be soaked with hot water, and then covered it back in its original position.

…

It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, and the pedestrians on the road are heartbroken.

Yesterday was Qingming Festival. Song Li knew that many people would appear at Qingtong Cemetery. With so many students of Tao Fuhua, almost all of them would choose today to pay tribute to her.

Then let's do it today... Song Li has to kneel for a day before He Qian gets angry, otherwise if he vents his anger on her, she will suffer, and her family must not be implicated.

After He Qian finished the morning meeting, Du Zhanrong also arrived at Qiliang.

This was the first time they met after the incident at the Lin family.

Du Zhanrong was being polite. After all, his mother had publicly asked him and Lin Yu to attend various occasions together in the name of marriage many times. When something happened to the Lin family, all he could do was to accompany Lin Yu and comfort her not to do anything impulsive.

He had settled Lin Yu abroad during this period of time, and he just returned to Yuancheng yesterday.

"You should know that I didn't kill them all for your sake." He Qian only made all the evil deeds of Qingshi Jewelry public. As for the extent of the disaster they would suffer after being exposed, he did not interfere!

It’s good enough that you didn’t use a knife on Lin Yu!

"Are you asking the Lin family to thank you for your kindness?" Du Zhanrong had an expression of watching a joke.

"Those who do evil will eventually perish." He Qian leaned back on the sofa. "I'm an honest and kind person. I can't bear to see so many innocent people being deceived, including you."

In fact, the reputation of Jingshi Jewelry has always been very good. He Qian is just taking advantage of the chain reaction in the business circle, and then inciting key points, and naturally the spark will spread like wildfire!

"Come on! There's nothing honest or kind about you!" Du Zhanrong rolled his eyes at him.

"But then again, you did help me. My parents are now warning me not to get so close to Lin Yu!" Du Zhanrong really didn't care about Lin Yu, but his upbringing wouldn't allow him to abandon her just because something happened to the Lin family.

"Remember to treat us!" He Qian accepted the offer generously. "Why did you come here alone? Don't you want the project anymore?"

"They're in your project department, so I won't go. Your employees are always too enthusiastic, I can't stand it!" Du Zhanrong shook his head and asked casually, "By the way, where's Song Li? Why don't I see her?"

He Qian's eyes drooped slightly, as if he had been hit so hard that he frowned unconsciously, "I'm asking for leave."

Du Zhanrong could see that his expression became unnatural when Song Li was mentioned. The rumors in Yuancheng about the two of them were not groundless...

"Anyone who knows He Qian knows Song Li."

"Qi Liang can do without technical support, but He Qian can't do without Song Li."

"She is in the care of my nephew."

"He Qian is surrounded by a constant stream of celebrities and young models, but Song Li remains."

Du Zhanrong was about to say something when He Qian's phone vibrated. He saw it was from Ciyun Pavilion, so he walked to the French window and answered, "Hello."

It was Liu Mingzhen: "Master, do you know where Li'er is? It's time to take her medicine, and she didn't answer my calls! Maybe she went to the company? I'll deliver the medicine to her!"

"Isn't she here? When did she leave?"

"She went out around 8 o'clock. She's not in the company? Where would that girl go? She even falls down when she walks..."

He didn't want to listen to what Liu Mingzhen continued to say. He opened his phone and searched for the location of Song Li's car, hoping that she had gone to Tianyun District to find her mother. After all, she hadn't been back for a long time!

However, her location is Qingtong Cemetery!

He Qian shuddered. He knew exactly why she went there! On the anniversary of the death, she had been taken away by Zhao Gengnian and hadn't finished kneeling. She was afraid he would punish her! So, she had taken the initiative to go to Qingtong Cemetery today. Was she trying to make up for it?

No! He Qian immediately rushed out of the office, forgetting about Du Zhanrong!

When He Qian went to Qingtong Cemetery and found Song Li, she was actually kneeling in front of his mother's tombstone!

Fortunately, the rain had stopped this morning, but there were still water stains everywhere on the ground. He Qian could see from a distance that her trouser legs were soaked.

Song Li didn't notice He Qian's running footsteps and figure until his scolding voice rang in her ears, and she came back to her senses...

"You don't want your legs anymore!" He Qian was angry and distressed. He seemed unable to tolerate himself anymore for being indifferent to her pain!

Song Li looked up at him and thought it was an illusion for a moment.

He Qian pulled her body, "Get up!"

Song Li was pulled up with force, only to find that this was the real He Qian!

He Qian held her shoulders to help her stand steady, "May I allow you to kneel here today?"

"Mr. He, I, I thought..."

"What do you think? I'm telling you, Song Li, you have no right to be here! You are not allowed to be here without my permission!"

Song Li fought back tears. Yes, no matter what she did, it was her fault...

"I'm sorry, Mr. He."

He Qian found that if he loosened his grip even slightly, she would lose her balance. Even at this moment, he still couldn't face her with his true face. "If you dare not tell me in advance about anything you do in the future, try it!"

With a loud "boom", lightning and thunder flashed!

He Qian took her back to the car before the rain started. As soon as he started the car, the heavy rain hit the glass...
