As expected, Situ Yueqin knew. âItâs Second Brother.â
âWhose family is it?â
âSecond Uncleâs family. His name is Situ Lei.â
Tang Li nodded and had an idea.
Situ Huang asked her, âMiss Tang, do you need my help?â
As long as Tang Li could treat his son in peace, he would go out of his way to help.
Seeing how enthusiastic Situ Huang was, Tang Li did not reject it. âAlright, youâre Situ Leiâs uncle. A word from you should work.â
Situ Huang thought so too. Besides, this kind of thing was really nothing to him.
So he got his butler to call Situ Lei and tell him to stop punishing the music trainer.
Situ Lei hung up the phone and sneered. At this moment, he was playing volleyball with a few people. When he sneered, the others looked at him in confusion.
Someone asked, âBro, who pissed you off?â
âMy First Uncle.â Situ Lei sneered and said, âHe got his butler to call me and tell me not to punish a small music trainer.â
âIs he the Lu Cong who scolded you girlfriend when she was training?â
âRight.â
Situ Lei sneered, âLooks like this Lu Cong is quite capable. He actually went to find my First Uncle.â
âAt that time, your girlfriend was scolded by that music trainer in front of so many people for being tone-deaf. Are you really going to forget it and let him go?â
âForget it? How is that possible?â Situ Lei made a call and said to the other party fiercely, âGo and find out if Lu Cong is working for my uncle. If not, make him leave Imperial Capital.â
With that, he hung up.
The others immediately cheered.
âBro, good job. You should teach this kind of person a lesson. Otherwise, he wonât know his place.â
âThatâs right. How dare he scold Brother Leiâs woman? Heâs courting death.â
âThis kind of person should be banned from all walks of life.â
âRight.â
â¦
With Situ Huangâs help, Tang Li was relieved and brought Linlin back to Situ Jinâs courtyard.
When the two of them reached the garden in the middle, Linlin suddenly pulled Tang Li and said, âMaster, I smell a malicious ghost.â
Tang Li sensed it too and said to her, âLetâs go to Situ Jinâs house first. You can find an excuse to take a look.â
âAlright.â
âBut if the resentment is too strong, donât absorb it. This kind of malicious ghost has karma. If you eat them, you have to suffer the karma. Itâs not worth it.â
âGot it.â
The two of them quickly returned to Situ Jinâs courtyard.
The weather today was not bad. The breeze was gentle, and Situ Jin got someone to bring a recliner under the eaves to enjoy the sun.
When he saw the two of them return, he asked, âDid you ask what you wanted to ask?â
âYeah.â
Tang Li said to Linlin, âHave fun. Iâm going to the herb room.â
âYes, Godmother.â
After Linlin answered obediently, she walked to Situ Jin.
Situ Jin specially prepared a small chair for Linlin. There was a short table between the two of them with tea, snacks, and books on it.
Linlin walked over and sat on the small chair. She picked up the book that she had not finished and started reading again.
Situ Jin was bored and asked Linlin, âWhy did your godmother look for Yueqin just now?â
Linlin looked up at him.
Situ Jin raised his hand and picked up a lychee. His fingers were long, thin, and white. If not for the faint capillaries on them, they would be the same color as the lychee.
âGodmother went to ask if anyone in your family is keeping a celebrity as a mistress.â
Situ Jin paused and raised his eyebrows. âWhy is she asking this?â
âShe wants to protect someone.â
Hearing that, Situ Jin continued to peel the lychees. After he was done, he didnât eat them. Instead, he placed them on the plate beside him and took another one. He asked, âProtect who?â
âI donât know.â
Linlin really did not know what Tang Li had been doing during this period of time.
Situ Jin did not ask further and continued peeling the lychees.
After peeling a small plate, he pushed the plate to Li. âHave some lychees.â
With that, he washed his hands with the basin of water beside him.
Linlin took a lychee and ate it. She nodded and praised, âItâs so sweet.â
âYou can send some to your godmother.â
Li nodded and put down the book. She stood up and walked towards the herb room with the plate.
Situ Jin placed his hands behind his head and looked at the blue sky and white clouds in a daze.
The day ended quickly.
Qi Yihan did get off work early tonight. He came to pick Tang Li and Linlin up at around eight.
Tang Li still had some medicine to make, so Qi Yihan and Situ Jin sat in the living room, drinking tea and chatting.
Situ Jin said, âItâs been a long time since I last worked. I feel like my entire body is rusty.â
Qi Yihan, âYour health is more important than work.â
Situ Jin smiled and said, âYouâre right, so Iâm not worried about what those people have done to the company while Iâm absent.â
Like Qi Yihan, he was considered a business genius, but he didnât have Qi Yihanâs good body.
Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, âRecently, many people in the circle are talking about the Xuanyuan Tomb. What do you think?â
Qi Yihan only said, âItâs just an internal power struggle in the Xuanyuan family.â
These words made Situ Jin fall silent.
After a while, he sneered and said with an enlightened expression, âMy father also mentioned this to me. Heâs obviously a little tempted. Actually, I also think that it was the Xuanyuan family who spread the news. Theyâre tomb keepers, so there must be a reason they let out this piece of news. As expected, something is wrong.â
While the two men were talking here, Linlin walked up to Qi Yihan and said, âGodfather, I need to go to the bathroom, the kind that takes a long time.â
Qi Yihan immediately understood what she wanted to do and said, âAlright, donât take too long. Try to come back early.â
Linlin nodded. âAlright.â
With that, she ran out.
Situ Jin asked Qi Yihan in surprise, âAre you ok with her going alone?â
Qi Yihan asked, âIs it very dangerous here?â
âThatâs not what I mean.â Situ Jin smiled and said, âI just think that no matter where such a young child goes, she has to have the company of an adult.â
âLinlin doesnât need it.â
Situ Jin did not understand what Qi Yihan meant, but he didnât ask further. When he thought about how Tang Li suddenly started an entertainment company and how she used to have a celebrity, he had a feeling that this woman was up to no good. He asked, âIs your relationship with your wife alright?â
