First Uncle frowned when he saw the rain outside the door. He asked Tang Li
, if the rain doesn’t stop, will we still go up the mountain tomorrow?”
“Tm not sure, we’ll see.”
‘Tang Li did not plan to take him up the mountain anyway. She turned around and asked, “Mr. Li, will the rain here cause some natural disasters?”
“Normally, it won’t.” After thinking for a moment, Mr. Li continued, “Actually, natural disasters rarely occur here. Flood is as bad as it can get. However!!
He knew that they intended to flatten that mountain, and he definitely didn’t want them to do so. Hence, he purposely said in a serious tone, “However, ever since the government wanted to flatten that mountain a few years ago, serious natural disasters like earthquakes have been occurring that killed
many people.”
“So, Miss Tang, Mr. Tang, I think it’s not wise to flatten that mountain even if you want to develop this place. The terrain here is flat and wide. You should be able to do anything.”
First Uncle looked at Tang Li but did not say anything.
Tang Li replied, “If removing that mountain will really cause natural disasters, we definitely won’t do it. After all, we are here to make money, not to cause misery for you guys.”
“That’s right, that’s right.”
Mr. Li heaved a sigh of relief.
‘Tang Li added, “However, we came with people who specialized in soil geology. When the time comes, we will go to the mountain to investigate what exactly is going on. This way, we can make sure that the buildings we build here in the future won’t be affected by that mountain.”
“Um..”
“Why? Are we not allowed to investigate that mountain?”
“Not, that’s not what I mean.” After some hesitation, he went on, “Even if you guys insist on going up there, I suggest Miss Tang not go up.”
“Why?”
“That… That mountain watcher is a lecher. He will harass young girls. Moreover, he is very strong and fast.”
‘Tang Li looked at Mr. Li’s face and knew that he was lying. She did not expose him. After nodding, she said to First Uncle, “Uncle, let’s sleep early tonight. If the rain stops tomorrow morning, we’ll make plans.”
First Uncle nodded and the two of them went upstairs.
After the two of them left, Mrs. Li asked Mr. Li in a low voice with a worried expression, “Do you think their visit this time will cause trouble for us?”
Mr. Li glared at her and warned her, “Don’t spout nonsense. The land here belongs to the Tang family now. They can do whatever they want.”
“But… but the local Taoist nun said that we can’t remove that mountain. If we remove it, something bad will happen to the young ones who are working in big cities… That’s why the old people in the village aren’t willing to remove it. What if the Tang family does something secretly?”
Mr. Li’s expression darkened.
Tang Zitong, “Cousin, cousin, did you find anything over there? Are there really demons and monsters in that mountain? Are they easy to deal with?”
Tang Li did not plan to reply to her. When she was about to put the phone away and hit the bed, she was struck by a thought. “I wonder what Yihan is doing now. Should I send a message to ask?”
“I should ask. That would make it seem like I care about him a lot. He wouldn’t want to find another woman and then divorce me.”
After coming up with a reason, Tang Li called Qi Yihan. She wanted to send a message, but after some thought, she decided to video call him instead.
She didn’t expect Qi Yihan to answer so quickly. He was wearing navy blue silk pajamas and sitting on the sofa in the bedroom. He had a laptop on his lap and his phone was beside him.
Tang Li sighed. “He is indeed handsome from every angle!”
*yihan, you’re still working?”
“Yeah.” Qi Yihan turned to look at her. When he saw that she was already lying on the bed, he asked, “Are you going to sleep this early?”
“What else can I do?” Tang Li said, “It’s raining heavily here, and there’s nowhere to go in the countryside at night.”
Unexpectedly, Qi Yihan paused for a moment before saying, “The countryside is good.”
Tang Li could not help but smile. “How is that good? Other than watching TV and sleeping, there’s no other entertainment at night.”
Qi Yihan asked naturally, “What if your husband is in the countryside too? Will you also sleep early?”
“What do you mean?” Tang Li was confused. “There are plenty of couples here in the countryside, and they all sleep very early.”
Qi Yihan suddenly smiled at her.
‘Tang Li was almost mesmerized by that smile.
This man’s smile was too alluring!
Qi Yihan looked at her again and said, “The procedures for transferring the island you wanted are almost done.”
“Ah… That’s really quick!” She had yet to treat his father.
Qi Yihan looked at his laptop again, looking a little busy.
Seeing him like this, Tang Li said, “Alright, just focus on your work. I’m going to sleep now.”
“Wait.”
Qi Yihan stopped her and said, “I can video call you while working.”
