Qi Yihan and Tang Li continued walking out.
Butler Zhang was about to follow when he was stopped by Butler Wang. “Do you always have to be a third wheel? Just leave them alone so they can have some intimate time.”
Butler Zhang seemed to have realized something and quickly patted his forehead, saying, “Why in the world did I not realize this earlier?”
Actually, he also hoped that Madam could get along with Master. Although Madam was a little strange sometimes, she was much better than before.
Tang Li and Qi Yihan did not know what the two butlers were talking about. After they walked out of the villa, Tang Li first looked at Qi Lingxuan, who was sitting in the car, and then asked Qi Yihan, “Did you find anything?”
Qi Yihan looked at her and pursed his lips.
Tang Li smiled at him.
Qi Yihan suddenly looked away, thinking to himself, “There you go again. That smile!.”
He was a little irritated, saying with his usual cold attitude, “No matter what you know, leave this matter to me.”
“Got it. I won’t interfere.”
When Qi Yihan heard her words, he found that his tone was too harsh, so he became even more irritated.
The two of them quickly arrived at Tang Li’s villa. After sitting down, Tang Li told him about the old man.
Actually, before the old man received treatment, his condition was about the same every day. However, every time Tang Li spoke, she would add some special medical terms, which allowed Qi Yihan to understand a lot.
After Tang Li finished, he said, “If we’re lucky, we should be able to find another herb this afternoon.”
“Really? Your people are really capable.”
Qi Yihan nodded in response.
After saying that, Tang Li recalled how easily he agreed to stay with her, so she asked, “Are you really coming over tonight?”
Qi Yihan had never thought of sleeping on the same bed with her. Hearing her question, he said with a straight face, “Since it’s Father’s request, I’ll definitely agree.”
“But… the bed I’m sleeping in is only 1.5 meters. It’s too small for the two of us.”
It was truly too small. For Tang Li, a 2.5-meter bed might be enough for her to sleep alone.
These words made Qi Yihan’s face tense up even more. “If you don’t want to sleep with me, go and tell Father. Since I’ve already promised him, I won’t go back on my word.”
Tang Li looked at his tense face and thought to herself, “Well, you asked for it, so don’t regret it.”
“I’m not gonna tell him.” Tang Li grumbled. “What if he gets angry and doesn’t support me anymore? Are you saying that intentionally just so when I lose his favor, you can divorce me?”
Qi Yihan was speechless.
At this moment, Butler Zhang’s voice came from outside the door. “Master, Madam, Mr. Situ is here.”
“Why is he here again?” Tang Li did not want to see him, so she sat there without moving.
Qi Yihan guessed Situ Huang’s motive for coming over. “Even if you don’t want to treat Situ Jin, you have to at least get the reward for saving him yesterday.”
Tang Li thought that made sense, so she said loudly to Butler Zhang, who was outside the door, “Bring him in.”
After Situ Huang was brought in, he was not surprised to see Qi Yihan there as well. He first took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Tang Li. “Here is 50 million. The password is…”
Tang Li took it.
Situ Huang passed the two boxes to her.
“In one box is That pair of Kylins and the Situ family’s Blood Jade.”
Tang Li took it and opened the box. The pair of Kylins was only the size of a palm, but one could tell at a glance that they were ancient objects of considerable value.
This was actually not important to Tang Li. What was important was that there were two spirits living in the Kylins. Looking at the two cute little things, Tang Li was very satisfied. The blood jade was also a good item with a lot of spiritual energy inside. When the time came, it would be very suitable for setting up a magic field on her island.
After accepting the two items in satisfaction, Tang Li said, “I’ve already received the reward. The door is over there.”
Being asked to leave rudely, Situ Huang was very unhappy. However, when he thought that Tang Li was the only one who could save his son, he choked down his anger. Without beating about the bush, he asked directly, “Fourth Madam, give me a price. How much do you want for treating my son?”
Tang Li rested her chin on her hand and thought.
Although Situ Huang was mentally prepared for Tang Li to demand an exorbitant price from him, he started to waver at the thought of an astronomical charge. So he looked at Qi Yihan and planned to tackle him first. “Fourth Master is friends with Jin. I suppose you don’t want to watch Jin suffer from illness and pain without doing anything. He might die early at any time.”
Qi Yihan did not reply. He felt that his relationship with Tang Li was not yet to the extent where she would listen to whatever he said.
Furthermore, he was very sure that Tang Li would accept this business. After all, she had just told him yesterday that she would no longer use his money. Plus, the Tang family had recently invested all their money into that project, so they were probably thinking of ways to get money from her.
Situ Huang snorted inwardly, thinking to himself, “What kind of bullsh*t friend is that? he isn’t even willing to help a dying friend!”
Situ Huang turned to talk to Tang Li, “If Miss Tang is willing to treat my son, I can cooperate with the Tang Corps on a large project. When the time comes, I guarantee that they will be able to earn money.”
The Situ family’s greatest source of income was their clubhouses and hotel chain around the country. However, they also did investment and they were pretty much on an equal footing with the Qi family.
Coincidentally, the Tang family specialized in project management.
Situ Huang felt that Tang Li would definitely be very tempted by this offer.
Much to his surprise, Tang Li looked at him and said, “That’s not necessary.”
“…”
Tang Li said seriously, “The Tang family is working on a project now, so we don’t need another one.”
“…”
“I don’t mind treating your son, and I won’t ask for much. I just want two good things from your family, but I need to choose them myself.”
These words made Situ Huang’s expression change. The Situ family was also an aristocratic family. There must be a lot of good things passed down from their ancestors. What if Tang Li chose their family heirlooms?
Even if he was willing to take out the family heirloom to save his son, the other members of the Situ family would not agree.
“Fourth Madam, your request is a little unreasonable. Why don’t you just tell me what you want? As long as you’re willing to save my son, I’ll definitely try my best to find it for you.”
“I see.” Tang Li’s eyes flickered. Under Situ Huang’s vigilant gaze, she said, “I want an ancient bronze sword and a Kongtong Seal. Can you get them?”
“…”
Situ Huang, “Fourth Madam, please say two things that I can understand.”
Tang Li looked at him and acted surprised. “Didn’t you say you could find what I want for me?”
Qi Yihan, who was sitting at the side, almost invisible, suddenly smiled when he saw how speechless and helpless the well-known and respected business tycoon was rendered by Tang Li..
