When Tang Li walked into the villa, she was called into the study by her two uncles.
After all, the Tang family used to be in the musical instrument business. The two uncles did not look materialistic. First Uncle looked a little stricter than Second Uncle and had the aura of a school dean. Second Uncle looked very gentle.
After the three of them entered, First Uncle took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Tang Li.
“This is the agreement we made to purchase that piece of land. It costs a total of two hundred million. We used one hundred and fifty million yuan from you and your father. I got my lawyer to write it clearly on the agreement. When we start to profit from that land, you will get seventy percent of the dividend.”
Second Uncle continued, “This piece of land is the turning point for our Tang family. We are aware that making you ask Yihan for help is not a good idea and will make him dislike our family. Li, we heard that your relationship with Yihan is quite good now. Since your relationship has eased, you should settle down and stop thinking about other people, especially men.”
Tang Li lowered her eyes to look at the document in front of her. There was a strange expression on her face. “You’ve already bought that piece of land?”
The brothers looked at each other. First Uncle nodded and said, “Yes, you know that the Tang Family has been deteriorating these past few years. If we don’t make a comeback now, it will be difficult for us to even gain a foothold in upper-class society… The Tang Family is your family. Only when your family prospers will you have more confidence in front of your in-laws.”
Second Uncle said, “So, Li, you won’t blame us for taking this money without discussing it with you, will you?”
Tang Li asked, “If I say I’m blaming you now, will you take the money back?”
“We can’t get it back. We’ve already bought that piece of land.”
“What else can I say?” Tang Li shook her head. She really did not know how to describe such relatives. They were cunning but at the same time, they cared about her in every way. They cared about her, but at the same time, they all schemed against her and her father.
She took the document but did not read it. Instead, she asked, “First Uncle, Second Uncle, who told you about this piece of land?”
The two masters looked at each other again. First Master Tang said, “Someone from the Land Bureau.”
“Did they tell you when the land will be built as an international airport?”
“Yes, the following year.”
When Tang Li heard this, she smiled. “If the airport will be built in a year or two, then why will they let you get this piece of land? If that’s the case, this piece of land would’ve already been taken by those big real estate developers a few years ago, especially the Qi Corporation. They’re one of the top real estate developers. Don’t tell me they are not interested in such profitable land.”
The two masters wanted to explain.
Tang Li did not give them a chance to explain. “You know that the Qi family hasn’t been very peaceful recently. The other three brothers have been looking for me to cooperate with them to deal with Yihan, but I didn’t agree. So, don’t you think it might be a trap they set up to get me to cooperate with them?”
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the two uncles changed.
Tang Li continued, “Although I’m not good at doing business, I know people are bad. The three brothers intentionally get someone from the land bureau to tell you the information. They know you’ll jump into the trap willingly because you want money.”
The expressions of the two uncles were now distorted.
If that was the case, the Tang Family would be done for.
First Master Tang and Second Master Tang suddenly started to wobble. The two of them walked to the chair and sat down. First Master Tang gripped the armrest of the chair tightly and said, “Impossible! At that time, we weren’t the only ones competing for that piece of land. How could it be a scheme by the Qi family’s other brothers?”
“But those people didn’t manage to win, right?” Tang Li didn’t give them a chance to have hope at all. She said, “Those people were just actors paid by the three brothers to come just to make you seal the deal as soon as possible. I am Yihan’s wife, and I know what kind of a person he is. If this was true, he’d be the first person to purchase the land.
Tang Li’s analysis was so precise that the two masters felt like a bucket of ice water had been poured over their heads, freezing them to the bone.
“No… Impossible… How is this possible!”
Tang Li looked at the two ashen-faced people and lowered her eyes. “If you don’t believe me, you can ask Yihan later. He should be able to convince you.”
Their bodies trembled.
“Right, let’s ask Yihan later. Maybe you are just making some guesses.”
“Then let’s go to the gate and wait for him. He should be here soon.” The two brothers could not sit still anymore. They looked especially anxious and uneasy. After saying that, the two of them ignored Tang Li and walked out.
Tang Li waited for the footsteps to disappear before standing up to go.
“Cousin, what happened to my father and Second Uncle?” Tang Zitong’s voice suddenly came from the door. Tang Li tilted her head to look at her.
Tang Zitong walked in with a worried look on her face. “I saw them running out in a rush. Did anything happen? Why do they look so pale?”
“Don’t worry, nothing serious.”
After saying that, Tang Li placed the agreement on the table and walked out with her.
Tang Zitong trusted Tang Li a lot now. Since Tang Li said that it was nothing serious, then it should be the case. She heaved a sigh of relief and complained to her, “After I told everyone about how you dealt with that old ghost yesterday, no one believed me.”
“It’s up to them to believe it or not.” Tang Li did not mind.
“Since you’re so capable, you should let everyone know. Otherwise, everyone will think that you’re…” She was just a lovestruck fool and a gigolo’s simp.
She didn’t dare to finish the latter half of what she intended to say.
The two of them quickly walked to the hall. Other than a few seniors, the juniors were still in the hall.
They were discussing the expressions of the seniors just now.
Tang Huan, one of her cousins, said, “Fourth Cousin must have done something wrong again that made Dad look so pale and dash out to wait for Qi Yihan.”
“What did she do?” Tang Lin frowned. “Don’t tell me that Fourth Cousin found another gigolo after ditching the previous one.”
Tang Zitong looked at Tang Li’s face and quickly shouted at the two sisters, “Lin, Huan, what nonsense are you talking about over there?”
Everyone turned around and saw Tang Li standing there. Tang Lin and Tang Huan were a little embarrassed. After getting shouted at, Tang Lin felt aggrieved and muttered, “It’s not like I’m wrong in saying that.”
Then, she stood up and walked out.
Tang Huan quickly stood up and followed her out.
After the two of them walked out, they were still discussing in low voices.
Tang Huan said, “Do you think Fourth Sister will be angry with us for saying that? If she is angry, Daddy will definitely punish us again.”
Tang Lin, “I didn’t say anything wrong. Everyone knows she is that kind of person.”
Tang Huan, “Why do you think Qi Yihan agreed to come to our house tonight? I have a feeling that he’s here to settle the score with us.”
Tang Lin, “If he wants to settle the score, he should settle the score with Fourth Sister. What has it got to do with us?”
The two of them walked away, talking..
