Chapter 71 Departure to West City
Xie Tingzhou withdrew his gaze, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened WeChat, clicked on the chat interface with Li Zhi, and tapped the phone screen slowly with his slender fingers, sending her a message.
[My mom wants to see the child. If it's convenient, can I go pick him up tomorrow to meet my parents?]
Li Zhi: [The day after tomorrow, tomorrow isn't convenient. Also, I need to ask him what he thinks. If he doesn't want to see me, then forget it.]
Xie Tingzhou: [Well, ask him.]
In less than a minute, Li Zhi replied.
[If he's willing, you can come pick him up the day after tomorrow.]
Xie Tingzhou: [Okay, you guys are going out to play tomorrow?]
Li Zhi: [Yes.]
Xie Tingzhou: [Wherever you go, I'll accompany you.]
Li Zhi: [No need, just take a stroll. You can come pick him up the day after tomorrow.]
Xie Tingzhou raised his eyebrows and said nothing more, "Okay."
He put away his phone, raised his eyes and looked at Huo Shu across from him again, and said, "It's agreed that I'll pick him up the day after tomorrow."
Huo Shu's eyes lit up instantly, and he smiled and said, "Okay!"
At this moment, Xie Wang woke up and appeared in the living room. He noticed the two people sitting on the sofa and walked over to them. "Hey, brother, you're back. Did you successfully cancel the engagement?"
Huo Shu waved at him, motioning him to come and sit next to him.
Xie Wang looked at the smile on her face and suddenly felt something strange. Why was she smiling after the marriage was cancelled?
He looked at Xie Tingzhou again, and suddenly thought of something. His expression tensed and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
Could it be that the Gu family didn't agree to cancel the engagement, and his brother pushed him out and asked him to marry the young lady of the Gu family? !
The smile on Huo Shu's face never faded. "What are you doing standing there like an idiot?"
Xie Wang raised his hand to touch the tip of his nose, coughed lightly, and said slowly: "No, Mom, what are you laughing at? You're making me a little panic... How's the cancellation of the engagement going?"
"No need to cancel the engagement..."
Before Huo Shu could finish his words, Xie Wang interrupted him, "I don't want to marry that Miss Gu!"
Huo Shu frowned and said, "What are you talking about? Who asked you to marry Miss Gu?"
Xie Wang was stunned for a moment, then reacted and realized that he had misunderstood. He said awkwardly, "Didn't you say that we don't need to cancel the engagement..."
"That has nothing to do with you. It's your brother who will marry Miss Gu," Huo Shu said.
"Ah?" A hint of surprise flashed in Xie Wang's eyes. He turned to look at Xie Tingzhou and asked, "Brother, why are you getting married again?"
"Awang, you are going to be my uncle in the future, do you know that?" Huo Shu said.
"What?" Xie Wang was confused and pointed at himself, "I'm your uncle?"
Huo Shu nodded and told him what happened when Xie Tingzhou went to Gu's house.
After Xie Wang heard this, his eyes widened in shock, his jaw dropping. He had never expected such a dramatic thing to happen to his brother. "My brother has a five-year-old son, and the child's mother is the real daughter that the Gu family found!"
Huo Shu: "That's right."
Xie Wang's expression was filled with disbelief. "Oh my god, is this such a coincidence?"
He paused, then suddenly thought of something. He turned to look at Xie Tingzhou and asked, "Hey, brother, how did you meet my sister-in-law? I didn't expect that you would be so quick in this one move."
Xie Tingzhou raised his sharp eyebrows slightly and said nonchalantly, "Come to think of it, thank you for that glass of wine five years ago."
Xie Wang was stunned at first, then came to his senses and his pupils suddenly contracted. He thought of the day when Pei Yuanzhi asked him if there was anything else in the glass of wine on his return. He vaguely guessed something and suddenly didn't dare to speak.
No wonder his brother was so angry back then and sent him abroad.
He said, it's just that I felt dizzy after drinking a glass of strong wine, is it necessary to be like this? It turns out that there was drugs in the wine.
Huo Shu reacted, "Ting Zhou, was that drugged wine you drank given to you by Awang?!"
"Mom, I'm being unfairly accused. I didn't put any drugs in that glass of wine. I just raised the alcohol content a little so that others could drink it. I didn't expect my brother to drink it by mistake..."
Xie Wang raised three fingers and assured Xie Tingzhou, "Brother, I swear, I really didn't drug it. I don't know what happened. Maybe someone else added something else when I wasn't paying attention..."
"Okay, I didn't say it was you who drugged me." Xie Tingzhou said.
"Okay, okay, what happened back then is in the past. Let's not mention it again." Huo Shu said to smooth things over.
Xie Wang didn't dare to respond, obviously waiting for Xie to stop and express his opinion.
Xie Tingzhou had no intention of arguing with him about this matter, he just mentioned it casually and nodded slightly, "Yeah."
Xie Wang's heart finally relaxed, and he immediately changed the subject: "Brother, when can you bring my sister-in-law and my nephew back to see me?"
Huo Shu smiled and said, "You will be able to see your nephew the day after tomorrow."
"What about my sister-in-law?" Xie Wang asked.
"Well, that depends on what your brother thinks. Anyway, your brother said it won't be that fast." Huo Shu replied.
Xie Wang nodded, "Oh, that's it."
......
The next day.
Li Yanjing looked at the puppet lying on the bed, then looked at Li Zhi sitting in the wheelchair, his eyes full of curiosity and disbelief.
They really look exactly the same, a one-to-one copy.
He reached out and touched the puppet's face again, and found that it felt the same as touching a normal person's skin, the only difference being that there was no temperature.
Li Zhi glanced at the message from Master Jiang Tianshi on her phone, put it away, looked up at Li Yanjing, and said, "Okay, I'm leaving now. If anything comes up here that you can't handle, send me a message immediately."
Li Yanjing put down his hand, turned to look at her, and nodded obediently, "Okay, I understand."
Li Zhi nodded, controlled the wheelchair and walked out of the room, used an invisibility talisman on herself, and then left the Gu family unimpeded.
After leaving Gu's house and walking for a distance, she appeared.
When they arrived outside the villa area, Li Zhi saw a black car parked in front and moved over.
In the car, Jiang Tianshi noticed Li Zhi coming in a wheelchair, and immediately opened the back door, got out of the car and greeted her.
He bowed with his hands clasped in a very respectful manner, "Master Li!"
Li Zhi nodded slightly, "Good morning, Xiao Jiang."
She paused, her eyes fell on him, and then said, "Why aren't you wearing a Taoist robe today, but a suit that looks so formal?"
Jiang Tianshi smiled and said, "Keep a low profile when you travel. Change it when you get there."
Li Zhi didn't say anything else, "Okay, let's go."
Master Jiang Tianshi responded, helped her out of the wheelchair, and then into the car.
He then folded Li Zhi's wheelchair and put it in the trunk before getting into the car.
After instructing the driver to go to the airport, Master Jiang Tianshi's eyes fell on Li Zhi's plastered leg and right hand. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "By the way, Master Li, what happened to your injury? How powerful was the opponent to injure you like this?"
Li Zhi turned to look at him, "He was hit by a car."
Master Jiang: “…”
"Why, are you starting to doubt my ability again?" Li Zhi asked slowly.
Jiang Tianshi shook his head, thinking she was joking. "How could that be, Master Li? I absolutely recognize your strength!"
Li Zhi raised her eyebrows, then looked away and closed her eyes to rest.
