The producer took his leave.
Shortly after, Yu Tang arrived with Si Fuqing, knocking on the door cautiously. Upon hearing a âcome in,â Yu Tang pushed the door open, âUncle LI, Iâve brought a friend to see you.â
âItâs Tangtang, huh?â LI Yuzhi was momentarily taken aback, a slight smile emerging on his pale face. âYouâre about to start university, right?â
âYes.â Yu Tang placed a fruit basket down. âMilitary training starts in ten days.â
âThatâs wonderful. Youâre eighteen now,â LI Yuzhi murmured, suddenly as if reminded of something, the man in his forties covered his face, his voice choked, âIf⦠if he were still hereâ¦â
Yu Tang also felt very sad.
If LI Yuzhiâs son were still around, he would probably have graduated from university by now.
âIâm sorry, I got carried away,â LI Yuzhi took a deep breath, his gaze then settling on Si Fuqing, âAnd you are?â
With Yuejianâs makeup skills, LI Yuzhi didnât recognize Si Fuqing at first. âHello, Uncle LI,â Si Fuqing greeted, âYou must have seen the final cut by now.â
LI Yuzhi gasped in surprise, his voice cracked, âYouâre⦠the girl from the movie?!â
âYes, Uncle LI, please donât be upset, â Si Fuqing said softly, âOnce âSeeking the Lostâ is released and its influence spreads, maybe weâll find him.â
âYes, Iâve been thinking the same,â LI Yuzhi gave a faint smile, âBut I donât have much hope.â
Indeed, the LI family held significant sway in Sijiu and was powerful in Great Xia.
But on the international stage, the LI family was far from sufficient.
Having not found him for so many years, LI Yuzhi had wondered if his son had been taken abroad.
That would truly be like finding a needle in a haystack.
He had sought help from T18 and Zero, but because twenty years had passed and all traces had vanished, they still hadnât found him.
By now, LI Yuzhi had nearly given up hope.
The producer approached him to make âSeeking the Lostâ, his intention was in hopes of helping other families.
If he had been more cautious back then, perhaps his child wouldnât have been lost.
But there were no ifs in life.
âItâs alright, Iâve lived like this for many years,â LI Yuzhi shook his head, âHave you had dinner? If not, letâs eat together later.â
âSure,â Yu Tang raised her hand, âThen Iâll call Uncle Nine over too.â
LI Yuzhi was surprised with joy, âShiyan is back?â
âHe came back with Qingqing,â Yu Xiheng messaged Yu Xiheng, âUncle LI, donât worry, with Fuqing here, sheâll definitely help you find your child.â
Twenty minutes later.
Feng San wheeled Yu Xiheng in.
He looked up, greeting with a slight smile, âYuzhi.â
âShiyan!â LI Yuzhi quickly approached, âHowâs your leg recently? Any better?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMuch better,â Yu Xihengâs voice was cool, âIâve also had people looking for your matter.â
âAh, you yourselfâ¦â LI Yuzhi bit his lip, âShiyan, you must take care of yourself first.â
The situation at the Yu family was more perilous than the LI familyâs.
Once the elder Yu passed, the struggle for power would begin immediately.
LI Yuzhi feared Yu Xiheng would be left without support and expelled from the Yu family.
Yu Xiheng affirmed, âI will.â
âIâll call the chef from Heaven Flower Court,â LI Yuzhi stood up, his smile widening, âItâs rare for you to visit, Shiyan. Letâs invite Xingjun over too, and have a gathering.â
LI Yuzhi was completely unaware that Yu Xiheng had chosen to sit next to Si
Fuqing.
Yu Xiheng nodded slightly.
Rolling up his sleeves, he turned to Si Fuqing, âNo engagements tomorrow, what would you like to eat?â
âHot pot!â Si Fuqing propped her chin, her fox-like eyes lighting up, âPeking duck works too. I have a high metabolism; I can eat anything.â Yu Tang counted on her fingers, âLet me see what I have tomorrowââ
Yu Xiheng gave her a glance, serene and emotionless.
Yu Tang abruptly realized the date, her voice trailing off.
Tomorrow was Qixi Festival!
Stammering, Yu Tang said, âAh, I have a⦠classmate wanting to hangout, weâre having a gathering, so I wonât disturb you.â
âUncle Nine, for my safety, please assign Feng San as my bodyguard. What if something happens while Iâm out alone?â
Yu Xiheng simply responded, his words ever so precious, âMhmm.â
âQingqing, now that youâre gaining popularity, you must disguise well, â Yu Tang said reluctantly, âEspecially with my Uncle Nine; his face really stands out.â
Si Fuqing sighed, âWalking with the boss, Iâm indeed afraid of being photographed..â
