Back in Dongcheng, Quan Yicheng was already impatient, pacing back and forth at the door like an ant on a hot pan. When he saw her return, he rushed forward, "Sister-in-law, where have you been again?"
"That Ye Tian took me to the orphanage," Li Xiyue said without hiding anything.
Quan Yicheng frowned. "Why is he bothering you like that? Should I take action?"
"No need, we probably won't see each other again." Li Xiyue shook her head.
Their collaboration was a one-time event, and they will not have any further dealings with each other.
Quan Yicheng: "Okay, where do you want to go this afternoon? Climb the Great Wall? Go ice skating? Or see a movie?"
"Yicheng, how about we do these things when your brother Xun comes back?" Li Xiyue laughed. "Otherwise, if you finish them with me, your brother Xun won't have any use for them."
Quan Yicheng slapped his forehead. "Oh right, how could I forget about that? Well... shall we go home?"
"Let's go back, I'm a little tired."
"……good."
Quan Yicheng thought to himself, "My sister-in-law looks delicate and frail, and she's not very strong. She always complains of being tired. She must be a pampered girl who can't even open a bottle cap."
It turns out that Ah Xun likes gentle and delicate girls. All the girls in the compound are too fierce, which is why Ah Xun doesn't like them.
Li Xiyue was completely unaware that Quan Yicheng had mistaken her for a delicate and fragile woman.
Back at the compound, Quan Yicheng was called aside by He Yuanzhou for a talk. The two talked for a while, and finally He Yuanzhou left with a very bad expression.
Li Xiyue asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, just that some kids from those compound families had a conflict with some thugs in Beijing, and they wanted me to go and keep order for them, but I refused," Quan Yicheng said.
Li Xiyue asked, "Why?"
“Those kids from the compound do nothing all day long, I’m not like them.” Quan Yicheng said with a look of disgust. “Besides, I can’t cause trouble for Brother Xun and the Chu family.”
Li Xiyue understood. Since Quan Yicheng lived in the Chu family's residence, he was a member of the Chu family and had to consider the Chu family in everything he did.
For the next few days, Li Xiyue didn't go out. She stayed at home eating and sleeping all day.
They also prescribed some medicines for the old man to regulate his body, which could be added to ingredients to make medicinal cuisine, and the old man was able to accept them.
Quan Yicheng investigated Ye Tian and received a response. It was similar to what Ye Tian said: he was abandoned by his family when he was a child, and later went to an orphanage. He was adopted when he grew up, and both of his adoptive parents passed away.
He saved the director of the pharmaceutical research institute five years ago, which led to his exceptional recruitment into the institute. In five years, he rose from a lowly drug purchasing agent to the position of director.
As for the two houses under his name, one was a gift from the director of the pharmaceutical research institute, the one with bamboo, and the other was a gift from someone, but it has not been found out who it was.
"Ye Tian is indeed a very kind-hearted person. He usually loves to rescue small animals and often volunteers at welfare homes. He donates money to welfare homes whenever he has it. He also has a very good reputation at the Institute of Pharmaceutical Research. His colleagues, subordinates, and students all praise him highly."
Li Xiyue thought to herself, "What a perfect person."
But everyone has flaws; how could there be such a perfect person in the world?
"He was so obsessed with drugs that he once declared he would never get married and would dedicate his life to drug research."
Li Xiyue smiled; she only believed a fraction of Ye Tian's information.
"Should we continue the investigation?" Quan Yicheng asked, seeing the disbelieving look on her face.
Li Xiyue shook her head, "No need."
As long as he doesn't bother her, she'll let him be.
"Aunt Tian, your cooking is so delicious, even better than the state-run restaurants." Li Xiyue took a sip of the fish soup, finding it incredibly flavorful.
Aunt Tian is a very good cook; she prepares different local specialties for her every day.
The emotional value provided was so strong that Aunt Tian's eyes crinkled with laughter. She was overjoyed, but she still modestly said, "How can my cooking skills compare to those of a restaurant chef?"
“Really, look, I’ve gained weight recently.” Li Xiyue pinched the flesh on her face.
Aunt Tian laughed and said, "That's baby fat."
"I'm almost nineteen, where did I get this baby fat?"
Chu Xingbang's eyes flickered. "Yueyue, your birthday is coming up soon, isn't it?"
