Huo Chenyu arrived first again.
This time, however, Tang Li was not late; he arrived two minutes earlier than the agreed time.
She came alone.
I sat in my usual spot.
Upon seeing this, Luo Wen was extremely surprised.
He then jokingly asked, "Miss Tang, how about a hug?"
Huo Chenyu shouted angrily in a low voice:
"roll."
Lovin laughed, turned around, waved to them with his back to them, and said to the waiter:
“Give this table a ‘Three Lives Three Worlds’ afternoon tea set.”
It seems that Lowen misunderstood.
As he closed the door to the private room, he didn't forget to turn back and wink at Tang Li, saying, "Congratulations on your reconciliation. This meal is on me, to liven things up for you."
It really was a misunderstanding.
Tang Li wanted to call out to him, but stopped herself. Let the misunderstanding be; she wasn't there for afternoon tea anyway.
In the box he carried with him was a painting worth hundreds of millions.
Tang Li placed the painting in front of Huo Chenyu:
“This is your mother’s keepsake, and I should return it. I’m sorry I didn’t know the origin of this painting before. Please forgive me.”
The language was very official.
Huo Chenyu frowned deeply: "So you've come here today to return the painting?"
What else?
Are you really going to invite me to your wedding banquet in advance?
Tang Li smiled and said, "Ah Xing was originally going to come too, but something came up at his company and he had to go take care of it first. I made plans to have dinner with him tonight, so I won't be able to join him."
The painting will be delivered.
Tang Li stood up without any hesitation.
Huo Chenyu was not by his mother's side when she passed away.
I was young at the time.
Later, when he became more sensible, he took over the Huo family business.
The father found the painting among the mother's belongings and told him that it was the Xi family's heirloom.
By the time it came to her mother Xi Haitang's generation, she was the only son left.
She only had one beloved son, Huo Chenyu, and she made a will after giving birth to him, leaving the painting to her son.
When Huo Chenyu was a child, he saw this painting. His mother hugged him and said, "When you meet a girl you like in the future, you must marry her and give her this painting as a token of your love."
There's no reason to take back a token of love that's been given away.
"Tang Li," Huo Chenyu called out to her.
"Keep the painting; it can help you in times of trouble."
He knew perfectly well that these were Teacher Xi's belongings.
No matter how difficult things get for Tang Li, he would never consider taking this painting.
I was genuinely unaware of this beforehand, which is why I put it up for auction.
"Mr. Huo, have you found that ring?" Tang Li asked with a slight smile.
Huo Chenyu searched the entire pond but couldn't find the ring she had thrown into it.
Huo Chenyu was speechless for a moment.
She really threw that ring away without hesitation.
Reluctantly, he had no choice but to accept the painting for the time being.
At the same time, she stood up and reminded Tang Li: "As the owner of Ruoxia Winery, Yunxi has come this far all these years on her own, without any support. She is no ordinary person. I know you are eager to investigate, but getting close to her is no different from asking a tiger for its skin."
Yunxi is stunningly beautiful and very good at interacting with people, so it's no wonder she has achieved what she has today.
On the contrary, Huo Chenyu repeatedly prevented her from investigating the truth.
This made Tang Li suspicious:
"Is Mr. Huo so afraid of my investigation because he wants to protect his young wife?"
If Tang Li's approach to Yunxi hadn't been so obvious, he wouldn't have launched a concrete investigation into her. It was only then that he discovered that Yunxi's identity was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
He had to remind Tang Li:
Do you still remember the scumbag family from five years ago?
Scumbag family!
Like her parents, she died in that car accident.
No one from the scumbag family survived.
Tang Li asked, puzzled, "What does the Zha family have to do with Yunxi?"
Mentioning the scumbag family, Tang Li felt a pang of pain in her heart. That car accident back then was a tragedy for two families, utterly devastating.
"Yunxi is Zha Zhongqi's girlfriend, or more accurately, his fiancée. They are engaged, but they haven't publicized it, so most people are unaware of it."
In other words, the car accident five years ago.
She lost both her parents.
Tang Yuan lost his fiancée.
Yunxi lost her fiancé.
So, the incident at the wine tasting event held by Tang Yuan in Yunxi...
Tang Li couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Could it be that Yunxi orchestrated all of this simply to take revenge on the Tang family?
But Yunxi doesn't seem like a woman with deep scheming.
For a moment, Tang Li couldn't tell the difference.
"Did no one from the Scumbag family survive that car accident back then?"
At the time, there were rumors that a body was missing from the car.
However, based on eyewitness accounts at the accident scene and subsequent surveillance footage, none of the eight people in the two vehicles escaped.
The scumbag parents, along with scumbag Zhongqi.
Tang's parents, along with He Yi (Tang Yuan's fiancée).
There are also drivers from two other companies.
However, information later released to the public revealed that eight charred corpses had been found, and after identification, they were confirmed to be from the Zha and Tang families.
Huo Chenyu also investigated the doctor who first spoke out that someone had survived, but to no avail.
"Regardless of whether any members of the scumbag family survived, you must remember to stay away from Yunxi and Lu Zhixing."
What happened to Lu Zhixing this time?
Could he also have a hidden identity?
Tang Li looked up and met Huo Chenyu's eyes:
"You also investigated Ah Xing?"
Yes, an investigation was indeed conducted.
However, I didn't find any useful information.
