Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Tang Li looked at the caller ID and then fixed her gaze at Butler Zhang.
Butler Zhang said to her, “I’ve already reported this to Master.”!!
Tang Li withdrew her gaze and answered the call.
Qi Yihan’s voice came from the other end. “Tang Li, if you don’t know how to entertain the relatives, just tell them to go back. When I return, I’ll personally hold a banquet to apologize to them.”
Tang Li asked, “Just tell them to go back?”
“Yeah.” Qi Yihan added, “I’ll handle it when I come back.”
Tang Li nodded and replied, “Okay.” Then, she hung up and said to everyone, “I’m sorry that what happened today frightened everyone. I guess today is not a good day to host a banquet. Those who want to leave can leave now.”
Butler Zhang panicked, wanting to stop Madam from saying that.
Tang Li continued, “When Yihan comes back, we’ll hold a banquet and personally apologize to you on behalf of our brothers.”
Ever since the Host got married, she had not interacted with any of the Qi family’s relatives. What everyone knew about her was based entirely on rumors. But after what happened today, they started to respect her.
After the commotion, no one was in the mood to stay for the meal, so most of them took their leave.
The only ones left were the family members who were still being treated.
Butler Zhang, who had been following Tang Li, had mixed feelings. He actually felt that Madam handled this matter pretty decently.
When the news of the incident at the Qi Mansion reached Qi Yihan, he only called Tang Li to teach her what to do. He had no intention of caring about anything else. At this moment, he was taking Qi Lingxuan to the mine.
Province Q was famous for producing jades, where countless new and old mines were located. When the market opened every year, it would attract not only the rich people but also ordinary people who came over just to gamble stones in a bid to get rich overnight.
The Qi family had their own mines and worked with several large mines. Every time they came, they had the privilege to choose from the mines first.
Qi Yihan got someone to prepare a wheelchair for Qi Lingxuan since his leg was injured, and the bodyguards pushed him down the mine.
When they reached the mineshaft, Qi Yihan got Qi Lingxuan to choose a pile of stones (the stones were all placed in piles, and the purchaser had to buy them in piles). He and the boss of the mines waited there.
The boss looked at the youth in the wheelchair and asked Qi Yihan in surprise, “Fourth Master, who is that person from the Qi family? I can’t believe you actually brought someone along with you here.”
Qi Yihan casually said, “He’s my brother’s son.”
The boss was stunned for a moment. He said, not knowing what Qi Yihan was planning, “No wonder he looks quite extraordinary. Turns out he’s First Master’s son.”
Qi Yihan didn’t say anything.
The boss of the mine looked at Qi Lingxuan for a while before peeping at Qi Yihan. He thought that since the two of them looked only a few years apart, Fourth Master’s position in the family could actually be at risk if this person was ambitious enough.
At this moment, Qi Lingxuan stopped and pointed at a pile of stones next to him.
Qi Yihan and the boss walked over.
“Fourth Uncle, this pile is not bad. I think we can buy it.”
The boss was a little surprised. “Young man, you have good taste. This pile is from the pit at Qingling Hill. It’s considered an old pit. There were many top-grade stones there previously.”
With that, he looked at Qi Yihan.
Unexpectedly, Qi Yihan didn’t even look at the pile of raw stones and nodded. “We’ll get this pile.”
The boss was surprised again. It should be noted that Fourth Master’s judgment of raw stones was even sharper than that of the stone experts. Every time he came in person, he would scrutinize every pile before picking one. But this time, he actually listened to a newcomer without batting an eye.
The boss looked at Qi Lingxuan and knew what to do.
Qi Yihan then brought Qi Lingxuan to several other mines and let him choose while he stood there and watched.
This time, he bought nearly twenty tons of raw stones at once. Then, he brought Qi Lingxuan to gamble stones. Finally, he said to Qi Lingxuan, “Since your leg hasn’t recovered, it’s not good for you to sit too long in the car. For the next few days, you can just stay here till the stones are all cut open.”
Qi Lingxuan was a little surprised that Qi Yihan would leave him here, so he asked, “Will Fourth Uncle stay here when the stones are being cut?”
If he didn’t stay, it would be easier for Qi Lingxuan to absorb the Spirit in the mines.
“I’ll go back tonight.” Qi Yihan looked at Qi Lingxuan and said, “Since you promised that you know how to gamble stones, I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
When Qi Yihan said this, his tone was clearly very calm, but it carried a domineering aura that made people not dare to go against him. It made Qi Lingxuan feel that Qi Yihan knew something and was deliberately threatening him. If he couldn’t get anything out of stones, he might be punished.
Qi Lingxuan sneered. He had never thought of touching these raw stones.
“Fourth Uncle, don’t worry. I said I know how to gamble stones. I won’t let you down.”
“That’s good.”
…
Tang Li originally planned to stay in the Qi Mansion for only two hours before returning to the hospital.
Now that something like this had happened, she had to stay a little longer. When she returned to the hospital, it was already night.
As soon as the car stopped, Butler Wang walked over.
Butler Wang helped Tang Li open the car door and said to her, “Fourth Madam, your father-in-law wants you to go to his place when you’re back.”
Tang Li nodded and walked toward the villa with him.
Butler Wang told her as he walked, “He was informed by a relative that Third Master’s Tibetan mastiffs injured some people at the Qi Mansion.”
“Alright, I know what to say to him.”
When Tang Li walked into the old man’s room, his eyes were closed.
Tang Li walked over and called out, “Father.”
Only then did the old man open his eyes. He asked, “How’s the situation at the Qi Mansion?”
“Don’t worry, Father. It’s settled. When Yihan comes back, we’ll hold a banquet to apologize to our relatives.”
The old man nodded in agreement. “That’s good.”
He continued, “Your Third Brother is getting more and more ridiculous.”
Tang Li added, “That’s right. When you recover, you must give him a lesson. Otherwise, he’ll become like a Tibetan mastiff hurting everyone in the family.”
“I will.”
…
Tang Li stayed at the old man’s place for a while. Seeing that the old man was tired, she told him to rest and went to the laboratory.
The experiment on cell rebirth was very successful. Augustine had an excited smile on his face for the past two days. When he saw Tang Li come in, he said to her excitedly, “Miss Tang, I’ve written the cultivation process for cell rebirth.. I plan to publish our research results in the near future.”
