章 27: Tang Li and Members of the Xu family Meet

編集者: Henyee Translations

When Tang Li and Mr. Yun came out of the storeroom, it was already past five in the afternoon.

Mr. Yun brought Tang Li to the hospital's senior doctor's restaurant.

As soon as she walked in, she was greeted by noisy conversations. Tang Li almost thought she had entered the market.

Mr. Yun's status in this hospital was obviously very high. Once he entered, many people greeted him.

Of course, after greeting him, everyone turned to look at Tang Li.

Then, people started discussing in low voices.

"Who is she? Why did Mr. Yun bring her here?"

"Is she Mr. Yun's family or student?"

"I didn't know Mr. Yun has a student or family member with him here at the hospital."

"That's right. I heard that he came alone to treat Mr. Qi."

"The Qi family is indeed powerful. Our hospital asked Mr. Yun to work for us before, but he turned down the offer."

"Not only that, the Fourth Master of the Qi family also invited Dr. Augustine, a renowned researcher in cell rebirth overseas."

"Awesome. If these two were to give lectures at our hospital, I would definitely be the first to attend."

"Me too. Mr. Yun is really an expert in traditional Chinese medicine…"

Hearing everyone's discussion, Mr. Yun, who had already sat down at one of the tables, smiled and said to Tang Li, "The doctors here usually look very serious, but every time they eat, they communicate with each other. It's good to come here and listen to the gossip every now and then."

Tang Li was amused by his words. "So you also like to listen to gossip?"

"The gossip in this hospital is different from other places."

After Mr. Yun said that, he suddenly signaled for Tang Li to stop talking and listen to the conversation at the table next to them.

"The patients our hospital received recently are getting weirder and weirder. I heard that today we received another weird patient. He has to eat a lot of food every day. If he doesn't eat, he'll feel pain. That person is an academician from a research institute. I heard that after he suddenly contracted this illness, he even stopped his research."

"He ate that much? Can he digest it all?"

"That's the weird thing! His stomach seems to be a bottomless pit. No matter how much he eats, he feels like he hasn't eaten anything."

"That's strange. What about the result of his checkup?"

"The result shows that his digestive system is normal."

"This… is too strange!"

Tang Li and Mr. Yun looked at each other.

Mr. Yun asked Tang Li, "Miss Tang, what do you think of this illness?"

Tang Li was silent for a few seconds before saying, "That's hard to say."

She would not spout nonsense before seeing the patient in person.

After dinner, they walked back to the villa.

Shortly, a car drove over.

The two of them stood at the roadside, preparing to make way. Unexpectedly, the car stopped beside them.

The car window rolled down, and at the same time, a voice came from inside the car, greeting her, "Tang Li, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Tang Li looked at the two people sitting at the back of the car. She was sure that the Host had no impression of them, especially the woman who greeted her. The woman was overly friendly, making people feel like she was up to no good.

Then the two of them opened the car door, got out of the car, and walked up to her.

The woman smiled in a friendly manner. "Tang Li, I'm Xu Yaran. Our Xu family and the Qi family are long-time friends. I've known Brother Yihan since we were young, but I've been studying abroad since junior high. I only come back once a year after that, so it's normal that you don't know me. However… when I met Brother Yihan yesterday, he mentioned you."

Tang Li immediately knew who this person was.

Xu Yaran was obviously setting up a trap, but Tang Li didn't fall into it.

"Really?"

Xu Yaran was speechless, as she didn't expect such a reply from her.

Tang Li then turned her gaze to Xu Shize.

Xu Shize smiled widely at her. "My name is Xu Shize. I attended your wedding when you and Yihan got married. You probably don't have much of an impression of me, but I've heard a lot about you."

Tang Li did not go into it. Instead, she nodded and said, "I don't think you guys came all the way over just to get to know me, are you?"

"…"

After a while, Xu Yaran said, her voice clearly higher, "We're here to visit a patient! You definitely don't know the patient we're visiting. He's also Brother Yihan's friend. His name is Situ Jin."

Tang Li nodded. "I indeed don't know him, but I thought you were here to see Yihan's father… Since you're not, I won't hold you back from visiting the patient. Goodbye."

After saying that, she continued walking forward with Mr. Yun.

Looking at Tang Li as she went away, Xu Yaran was so angry that she snorted and said unhappily, "Humph, you can definitely tell she is a party girl. I don't really understand why Uncle Qi likes her and asked Brother Yihan to marry her. I really feel bad for Brother Yihan."

Xu Shize withdrew his gaze and said to Xu Yaran, "Let's go and see Situ Jin first."

"Brother, I want to see Uncle Qi." Xu Yaran felt that as long as she showed up in front of Yihan's father, she would be able to compare herself with Tang Li side by side. In comparison, she believed that everyone could tell that she was more suitable for Brother Yihan.

Xu Shize knew exactly what his sister was thinking, so he disagreed. "Not now. His father said before that he doesn't wish to be disturbed by anyone because he needs a lot of rest."

"It's not like I'm going there to make trouble." Xu Yaran felt aggrieved, and her tone became harsher. "Do you think I'll tell Uncle Qi about the gigolo Tang Li is keeping?"

"Shh… keep your voice down."

Xu Shize didn't tell Xu Yaran about this, but after Bai Qingyang's scandal was exposed last night, Xu Yaran saw it and instantly guessed that it was Tang Li.

After she guessed it, she questioned Xu Shize. Xu Shize could not stand her nagging and eventually told her everything.

"Third Brother, what are you worried about? I'm not the only one who knows about this. I'm just telling you that when I find the evidence, I'll go directly to Uncle Qi and tell him so that he can see what kind of person Tang Li is."

She had this thought last night, and she also secretly hired a private investigator. As long as the private investigator found evidence that Tang Li had a gigolo, the first thing she would do was bring the evidence to Brother Yihan.

Xu Shize, however, did not know about her plan. He dragged her back inside the car and drove away.

…

Tang Li and Mr. Yun walked back to the villa together. They didn't expect Qi Yihan to not come tonight, but he called Butler Wang and told him that he had something on tonight and couldn't come.

After Tang Li heard what Butler Wang said, she did not mind at all and went straight to Augustine's laboratory. After making a small bottle of antidote, it was already past ten pm.

After returning to the villa, Tang Li avoided Butler Zhang and the two people who were watching her. She was now preparing to deal with Bai Qingyang.
