"After thinking about it, I decided against it."
No, why should we just let it go?
Tang Li pressed further:
"What's wrong?"
Huo Chenyu gave a wry smile:
"Think about it, if Uncle Sheng were my biological father, my dad would fight him to the death."
I really don't know how to do that.
Tang Li could tell that although Huo Yishen and Sheng Chaosheng bickered as soon as they met, they both seemed to wish the other would leave before them.
But in reality, the feelings between these two old rivals are probably deeper than others imagine.
However, after Huo Chenyu finished speaking, he stared at Tang Li like he was eyeing prey:
"Besides, I don't want Lu Laosi hanging around in front of you every day from now on, and I don't want to eat with him."
Sigh!
Tang Li chuckled:
"You're really overthinking it. Even brothers have to live separately after they get married and start their own families, right? Besides, you and your fourth brother are both people who are going to do great things. You can't possibly be in the same house every day, can you?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Chenyu immediately sensed something was amiss:
"Honey, you're acting a bit strange."
Is this unusual?
Is it that obvious?
Could it be that he figured it out?
Tang Li pretended to flick her hair, then lowered her head to hide her panic:
"What's unusual?"
Huo Chenyu held her hand:
"You really think of yourself as Uncle Sheng's daughter? From what you're saying, it sounds like you're going to live with Uncle Sheng, an elder, after you get married."
I see.
Tang Li breathed a slight sigh of relief and looked up at him:
“Wouldn’t it be better to live with Uncle Sheng? Fourth Brother has left Tanzhou, and Uncle Sheng plans to retire here. He has no one to take care of him.”
Huo Chenyu thought for a moment:
"Lili, we can live closer to both sets of parents, have meals with them a few times a week, and occasionally go on trips, but living together isn't very convenient, is it?"
Tang Li certainly understood this principle.
However, Uncle Sheng doesn't have much time left. If he doesn't seize the time to fulfill his filial duties, he's afraid that "the tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease; the son may wish to care for his parents, but they will no longer be there."
But Tang Li didn't press too hard; she smiled.
"I'll do whatever you say."
Huo Chenyu went further and further:
"Then the wedding date?"
Tang Li leaned on his shoulder:
"I'll listen to you too."
Huo Chenyu touched her forehead: "What's wrong with you today? Why are you being so obedient?"
Tang Li closed his eyes:
"Isn't being obedient good enough? Or do you prefer the old me who was always unreasonable and wouldn't let things go?"
Huo Chenyu kissed her forehead:
"I like anything as long as it's you."
Back at the hotel, Tang Li took a hot shower, and when she came out, Huo Chenyu handed her his phone to look at.
It's news about the Song family in Lucheng.
In accordance with Song Boying's wishes before his death, he was to be cremated immediately after his passing.
He was terrified that if he hesitated even a moment longer, his sins would be exposed and his body would be condemned by thousands.
Actually, there was one more thing in his last words, which he only told Song Beiye.
After the cremation, he asked Song Beiye to scatter his ashes in front of Yun Shu's grave, so that he could see Yun Shu one last time after death and repent for the mistakes he made in life.
Song Beiye didn't dare tell Tang Li this.
The next day, Huo Chenyu and Tang Li took an early morning flight back, without having a chance to see Song Nanzhou or say goodbye to Song Beiye.
I received a call from Zha Zhongqi as soon as I got off the highway back in the city.
Since it was Jiang Mian who came to pick them up, Tang Li couldn't avoid Huo Chenyu. However, her subconscious attempt to dodge still caught Huo Chenyu's eye. He made an excuse to go buy a bottle of water and asked Jiang Mian to pull over.
Jiang Mian, ever straightforward, handed Huo Chenyu the unboiled water that was placed next to his seat:
"Boss, I have some water here that I haven't drunk before."
Huo Chenyu practically poured cold water on him.
He didn't answer, and said irritably:
"I don't drink this brand of water."
Noticing Huo Chenyu's anger, Jiang Mian slammed on the brakes and pulled over to the side of the road. After Huo Chenyu got out of the car, he turned to Tang Li and said:
"After the eldest brother started dating, he became much more pretentious."
Tang Li gestured for him to look out the car window. Huo Chenyu was staring at him, which startled Jiang Mian. Huo Chenyu put his hands on his hips and asked:
"When did the boss have to go buy water himself just because he wanted some?"
Jiang Mian quickly got off the bus, complaining as she walked:
How would I know which brand of water you prefer?
Men, your name is affectation.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Mian felt a gust of wind beside him. He turned his head and saw that, to his surprise, his boss was right next to him.
Tang Li then called Zha Zhongqi back and asked:
"Seventh Brother, what's wrong? What's the matter that you urgently need to see me?"
After getting off the plane, she sent a message to Zha Zhongqi to let him know she was safe.
Zha Zhongqi was discharged from the hospital despite the pain. Pi Qiu took him to Ruoxia Winery, but the winery, which had never closed since its opening, was locked up.
And Yunxi's phone was always switched off.
Zha Zhongqi then panicked.
"I can't find Yunxi. Do you have any way to contact her?"
Tang Li comforted him:
"Don't worry, I'll help you find it."
Zha Zhongqi called her back again:
"Today I insisted on being discharged from the hospital and asked Piqiu to buy milk tea and cake for the hospital staff. I asked them to tell the nurse on duty tonight that she comes to my ward every day to listen to my stories about Yunxi and me."
"But the nurses on duty at their hospital recently all said they had not been to my room."
Upon hearing this, Tang Li also became anxious:
"What's going on? Is someone trying to harm you?"
In that instant, Tang Li even imagined a murder scene.
Zha Zhongqi quickly explained:
