The Guo couple quickly completed the admission procedures. Furthermore, Yuan Yuanâs ward villa was located next to Tang Liâs villa.
Mr. Guo was very busy. After settling the mother and daughter in, he left with Mr. Meng.
Tang Li asked for Yuan Yuanâs photos from when she was young.
Mrs. Guo looked at the only picture in Tang Liâs hand and felt a little guilty. âThe nature of my work and my husbandâs is too dangerous. Iâve been hiding her since I was pregnant. When I gave birth to her, I left her to her grandparents. We didnât dare to take photos of her, nor did we dare to take photos of her grandparents. This picture was taken by her teacher when she was in kindergarten.â
The little girl in the picture was innocent and pure. When she smiled, she had two small dimples that were especially rare.
Tang Li looked at the picture for a while before raising her head to ask, âDo you and Mr. Guo regret choosing such a job?â
âOf course not.â Mrs. Guoâs expression suddenly turned serious. There was a flash of extreme hatred in her eyes. âI hate my enemy to the core, and I hope they all disappear.â
âI donât think Miss Tang has ever seen a family harmed by my enemy. The pain and hatred are indescribable.â
Seeing that Mrs. Guo was getting more and more agitated, Tang Li knew that she was thinking about her deceased parents. She said, âSince you guys found Yuan Yuan under those circumstances, even if you manage to find her soul, she might not be able to forget what happened during that period that caused her mental breakdown⦠So, when the time comes, I will erase her memory of that period of time.â
âShe was brought up by her grandparents and must have a deep relationship with them. Youâd better think of a way to make her accept the fact that her grandparents are no longer around.â
Hearing that, Mrs. Guo was silent for a long time before she nodded. âAlright, Iâll talk to her dad about that later.â
Tang Li sat for a while longer before leaving.
Next, she planned to find a vessel that could store souls.
When Butler Zhang found out that Tang Li was going out, he panicked, but he did not dare to stop her. He followed behind Tang Li and said to her, âMadam, where are you going? Iâll take you there.â
Tang Li stood by the car and said, âNo need.â
After saying that, she got into the car and drove away.
Looking at the car, Butler Zhang immediately took out his phone and called Butler Yang.
âBrother Yang, what am I gonna do? Madam just went out. What if she goes out to look for that pretty boy again?â He was happy to see Madam change a lot during this period of time, but he didnât see it coming that Madam would relapse after Master had just left for two days.
Butler Yang asked calmly, âDid Madam say why she is going out?â
âNope.â
âWhat did Madam do before she went out?â
âShe saw a patient. As soon as she came back from seeing the patient, she told me to get the car ready.â
ââ¦â
ââ¦â
Butler Yang was silent for a few seconds before saying, âMadam probably doesnât have time to find a gigolo. Just mind your own business.â
With that, he hung up.
Butler Zhang looked at the phone and was dumbfounded. âIsnât Brother Yang worried?â
â¦
Tang Li drove straight to the largest antique street in the Imperial Capital.
The antique street in Imperial Capital occupied a few hundred acres of land that extended in all directions. There were high and low-end shops and stalls set up along the street. Many people came here to shop for antiques every day. Most of them were people who didnât have much money and wanted to get rich by luck. Of course, there were also many rich people who came over, but normally they would head straight to those high-end shops where there were authentic goods.
Tang Li walked in the crowd and occasionally stopped to look at the stalls or shops surrounded by a large group of people.
After walking for a while, she suddenly felt a spiritual fluctuation not far from her left. She quickly walked over.
Unexpectedly, as she approached, she saw a skinny middle-aged man with a cloth napkin wrapped around his head being pushed out by the staff.
âGo away. I told you this is a counterfeit. How dare you sell it to us? If you donât leave now, weâll smash it into pieces.â
âHow can this be a counterfeit? You guys must be mistaken. Can you take another look? I can sell it to you at a low price.â
âHow dare you sell a counterfeit?â The shop assistant was obviously a little irritated by the middle-aged man. He waved his arm at him and threatened, âDo you believe that Iâll give you a good beating if you keep nagging at me?â
After saying that, he pushed the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man staggered and was about to fall.
At this moment, Xiang Wanwan happened to walk past and supported him.
âSir, are you alright?â
Seeing the female lead, Tang Li, who was about to walk over, stopped.
The middle-aged man looked at Xiang Wanwan and felt that the girl in front of him looked especially kind. If she could buy this antique in his hands, he would have money.
At this thought, his expression changed. He grabbed Xiang Wanwanâs hand and started crying.
âMiss, I think youâre a good person. Please save me. Iâm from Xiangshan. There was a mudslide two days ago that buried my house, as well as my old mother and wife. I used more than a day to dig them out, but my old mother has already stopped breathing. My wifeâs legs are broken, and my sonâs head is injured. If I donât have money to save them, theyâll die soon.â
âPlease buy this antique. It was passed down from my great-grandfatherâs generation. It must be an antique. Iâm not asking much, 50,000 yuan will do.â
âI beg you, boohooâ¦â
Xiang Wanwan opened her mouth and felt pity for the middle-aged man in front of her. However, she didnât have that much money either.
Just when she was feeling so awkward that she did not know how to reject him, a voice came from behind her. âFifty thousand, right? I want it.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The two of them immediately looked where the voice came from.
Xiang Wanwan was surprised to see Tang Li. âMiss Tang, why are you here?â
Tang Li nodded at her indifferently and continued to stare at the middle-aged man.
When the middle-aged man saw Tang Li, he knew that she was definitely rich. He suddenly hugged the thing in his arms tightly, feeling that he had asked for too little.
Tang Li extended her hand toward him. âGive me the thing. Iâll give you fifty thousand.â
The middle-aged man hugged the thing in his arms tighter. He couldnât bring himself to raise the price, but when he thought of his familyâs situation, he said, âMiss, I can tell that youâre kind-hearted. My wife and children are still in the hospital waiting for me to use the money to save their lives. The doctor asked me to prepare 100,000 yuan. Can youâ¦â
âNo.â Tang Li interrupted him rudely. âWhen youâre doing business, you donât get to change the price at your wish. I will only give you 50.000, not a penny more, not a penny less, but if you wanna sell it to someone else, then be my guest.â
Just as she was about to leave, an arrogant voice came from behind her. âIf she doesnât want it, I will pay you 100..000 for it.â
