Chapter 21: Does He Eat People?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The next morning, as soon as Tang Li woke up, she received a call from her Second Uncle.

Second Uncle's voice was especially amiable. "Tang Li, I already know what you said to your First Uncle yesterday. When do you have time? Come back for a chat."

Tang Li looked at herself in the mirror and said, "I've already moved to the hospital to take care of Yihan's father. I don't think I'll have time anytime soon."

Upon hearing this, Second Uncle agreed. "You can spend time with him. He likes you a lot. Take good care of him so when he passes away, he will definitely leave you something."

At this point, he sighed and said earnestly, "Tang Li, I had a discussion with your First Uncle last night and felt that I have to tell you something."

Tang Li said while combing her hair, "Second Uncle, you can just tell me."

Second Uncle said, "You know that after your grandfather passed away, our family has been on a decline. In the past two years, we've been making losses from investments. If not for Qi Yihan's help, our family would have suffered even more."

Tang Li stopped combing her hair and said directly, "Second Uncle, you can get to the point."

The other party was probably not used to the tone she spoke with. After a moment of silence, he said, "Recently, we're running out of funds. Can we use your and your father's money for the time being?"

Tang Li was a little surprised. She thought that the Host and her father's money was already incorporated into the Tang family a long time ago, but it turned out that the Tang family had no access to the money.

Tang Li felt she was not supposed to spend the money as it belonged to the Host and that giving it to her family was actually not a bad thing, so she said, "Sure."

Second Uncle heaved a sigh of relief and said again, "Take good care of Yihan's father in the hospital. Don't worry about anything else. Also, you better ask that guy, who goes by Bai, to keep a low profile. Otherwise, he might be your stumbling block."

Tang Li had already forgotten about Bai Qingyang. Hearing that, she asked, "What did Bai Qingyang do?"

"You don't know?" Second Uncle was surprised. "I heard from Xiaolin just now that Bai Qingyang posted on Weibo last night. His tone was very arrogant. He said that he received an offer to be the male lead of a hit movie. The role was originally given to a Best Actor."

Second Uncle thought that if not for Tang Li's help, how could a newcomer who had only been in the entertainment industry for half a year get the male lead role of a hit movie?

Tang Li definitely did not know. "I've already cut off all ties with him, and I've lost contact with him. How could I know about this?"

At this point, she seemed to have guessed something. She added, "It must be the work of the other members of the Qi family."

Second Master was taken aback and immediately reminded, "Looks like the internal strife between the Qi brothers has started. Be careful and don't get involved. It's best if you stay by their father's side and talk to him. If Qi Yihan starts to blame you, push all the blame away."

Tang Li nodded. The two of them exchanged a few more words before hanging up.

When Tang Li went downstairs, she happened to see Butler Zhang walk in from the main door after putting away his phone.

When Butler Zhang saw Tang Li, he quickly stopped and asked, "Madam, breakfast is ready. Do you want to eat now or later?"

"I'm going for a walk."

She'd only found one client last night, so she wanted to see if she could find more clients.

After saying that, Tang Li walked out of the door. To her surprise, Butler Zhang followed behind her.

Butler Zhang was instructed by Butler Yang to follow and keep a close watch on Tang Li when she was not in the room with Yihan's father.

After Tang Li looked at him, he quickly said with a serious face, "I heard that a very powerful person has come to the hospital. His identity is a little special. The subordinates that he brought are all very fierce. If we accidentally offend them, they might shoot us."

Tang Li raised her eyebrows. "That sounds a little scary."

"Yes, that's why I'm accompanying Madam. That way, I can tell Madam where we're not supposed to go."

Tang Li fell silent for two seconds before looking at Butler Zhang.

When Butler Zhang was feeling tense, she asked, "Butler Zhang seems to be very familiar with the patients in the hospital."

Butler Zhang said humbly, "I asked around yesterday. After all, all the people living here are big shots. It's not a bad thing to know more."

Tang Li nodded. "You're right. Then tell me, what kind of big shots are staying in this hospital?"

"Well… I actually didn't manage to find out much." The identities of many important figures were so confidential that he couldn't find out anything about them.

"Then tell me what you found out."

"Yes."

Tang Li listened to Butler Zhang as she walked. At the same time, she was quietly sensing for any spiritual energy fluctuations nearby.

After they walked for quite a while, a man suddenly came out from the corner.

The man's aura was especially strong, giving people a feeling that he came with ill intentions.

Butler Zhang subconsciously whispered to Tang Li, "Madam, let's go back. This place is very close to the patient I just told you about, and the man in front of us might be related to that patient."

Tang Li looked at the man who was striding toward them. She narrowed her eyes while asking Butler Zhang, "Does this man eat people?"

Butler Zhang, "Eating is too strong a word…"

However, when the man stopped in front of them, Butler Zhang freaked out.

What was this person trying to do?

Why did he stop in front of us?

Butler Zhang subconsciously stepped forward to shield Tang Li and asked the man, "Sir, how may I help you?"

The man did not even look at him. Instead, he looked directly at Tang Li. "Miss Tang."

Yesterday, Fu Junye saw Tang Li's face. He wanted his men to look for her last night, but his men said that they had not seen such a person at all. This morning, he came out to try his luck, and he really did run into her.

Butler Zhang was dumbfounded. Did Madam know this man?

What was their relationship then?

It couldn't be that Madam cheated on Master after only a day at the hospital, right?

1

Or was this person that pretty boy?

The more Butler Zhang thought about it, the more stunned he became. He heard about Tang Li's affairs, but he did not expect the pretty boy to come to the hospital to look for her.

What should I do?

Butler Zhang's mind was buzzing.

At that moment, Tang Li glanced at Butler Zhang, who looked obviously confused. She nodded at Fu Junye calmly and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"

Fu Junye stared at Tang Li and asked seriously, "Miss Tang, can you really read fortunes?"

"Yes."

Butler, "What?"

1

Fu Junye asked, "Then… Miss Tang, can you tell me if someone is still alive?"

Actually, Tang Li did not really want to read fortunes for him right now, because she did not bring fortune-telling tools with her. She felt like without fancy tools, she would not look professional.

However, there was no reason for her to reject some easy cash. She asked, "Whose fortune do you want me to read?"

"My sister."

"Name."

"Fu Qingya."

"That will be five hundred thousand."

"Okay."

"Do you have anything she once used?"

"Yes."

Fu Junye took out a doll that was slightly bigger than his palm from his pocket.

Chapter 22: Someone Is Trying to Drug Qi Yihan

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Tang Li took the doll and placed her finger on the doll's head. The image of a little girl quickly appeared in her mind, along with everything that the little girl had experienced after she possessed the doll.

The surroundings became very quiet.

There seemed to be an invisible aura that was fluctuating.

The butler looked at Fu Junye and then at Tang Li, swallowing his saliva unconsciously.

After a while, Tang Li suddenly looked at Fu Junye and asked, "Your sister was taken away when she was five, right?"

Fu Junye's heart skipped a beat. He did not expect Tang Li to be able to provide such important information with just her name and doll. Not many people knew about what happened to his sister.

"Right."

"Your sister is still alive, but she's in deep water."

Fu Junye asked anxiously, "How can I find her?"

Tang Li frowned. She did not expect the female lead to be Fu Junye's sister. According to the book, there was no such setting in this book. She planned to ask the book spirit in the female lead's body when she saw her one day.

1

"You'll meet her soon, but you have to be careful."

"Be careful of what?"

"That is a secret."

Fu Junye didn't care. He only wanted to ask if his sister was still alive. Now that he knew more than what he wanted, he was already very satisfied.

He took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Tang Li. "There is one million inside, and the password is xxxxxx. Thank you for telling me so much. If I can really find my sister, I will reward you heavily."

After saying that, he turned around and strode away.

Tang Li looked at the card in her hand and flicked it lightly with her finger. Immediately, her eyes smiled, and she was no longer worried about finding clients. "Not bad, good start."

After saying that, she put the bank card into her pocket and turned to look at Butler Zhang, who was standing there in a daze. She waved her hand in front of him. "Butler Zhang, come back to your senses."

Butler Zhang snapped out of his daze and swallowed his saliva. His voice was shaky as he asked, "Madam, what did you do just now?"

"You mean fortune-telling?" Tang Li asked straightforwardly. "Do you want to try? I'll give you a 20% discount since you're Yihan's butler."

Butler Zhang, "No, that is not necessary, thank you, Madam."

So the relationship between Madam and that man was what he thought?

1

However, how did Madam manage to convince that man, who was obviously a big shot, to come for her for fortune-telling and give her a million dollars without batting an eye?

1

Butler Zhang looked at Tang Li as if she was a fraud.

1

After they returned, Butler Zhang immediately reported this matter to Butler Yang.

After a moment of silence, Butler Yang asked, "What's that man's surname?"

Butler Zhang replied, "His surname is Fu."

Butler Yang was silent for a moment before saying to Butler Zhang, "I'll talk to Master about this. You don't have to worry about it. Just take good care of Madam."

Butler Yang hung up and told Qi Yihan about this.

Qi Yihan happened to be eating breakfast. After hearing this, he paused and didn't say anything.

After he got into the car, he called someone to check if there was a patient surnamed Fu in the hospital.

The other side quickly reported, "Yes, he was poisoned and sent to the hospital. I heard that someone helped him detoxify last night."

Qi Yihan fell into deep thought.

He had a feeling that Tang Li was the one who removed the poison.

Where did Tang Li get all these abilities from?

Tang Li didn't care if Qi Yihan knew about this. After breakfast, she went to the old man's villa.

Although she had not started treating the old man, Tang Li prepared some liquid food for him.

The old man took a bite and found that it was salty. He grinned and said, "I haven't had salty food in a long time. The food from the hospital is always plain and boring."

"When you recover, you can eat whatever you want. By then, no one will restrain you."

"Haha… Yes."

The old man looked at Tang Li. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. However, he couldn't help but sigh. "If only you and Yihan could have a baby earlier."

Tang Li felt awkward again. She had never even held Yihan's hand, let alone getting pregnant.

"Don't worry about us. We're still young."

"It's best that you get pregnant when you are still young. That way, people will respect you at home."

Tang Li was younger than his grandchildren, so he was worried that she would get treated unfairly at home.

Tang Li did not know what the old man was thinking. She fed him another spoonful of porridge and said, "After you finish your meal, you should sleep first. The three doctors and I will study your illness carefully. When the time comes, I promise that you will recover easily."

He smiled and suddenly asked, "When did you learn medicine? Wasn't your major foreign language?"

Tang Li had already thought of an excuse. "I learned it from my father."

Her father became a monk when Tang Li was a few years old. However, before she reached adulthood, he would come back to visit the Host once a year. The Host would also visit him in the temple occasionally.

The old man actually found her explanation reasonable. "Your father is very capable. He knows everything. Unfortunately, he put too much value on love. Don't learn from him in the future."

Tang Li nodded with a smile. "Don't worry. I'm not as stupid as my father."

Her only wish was to have a husband. With a husband, she wouldn't bring bad luck to people around her, and she believed that one should maintain love rather than sacrifice for love.

In the morning, Tang Li and the three doctors continued to prepare for the old man's treatment.

During lunch, the four of them sat in the living room and ate while discussing various difficult diseases.

Xiang Heping said, "A few months ago, a patient came to the hospital. This patient's condition is very strange. He can't wear new or good clothes, but he can wear old cotton clothes. And his body is afraid of the cold during the day and the heat at night. After trying all the methods, we still couldn't find out the cause of his illness. What is weird, looking at the diagnosis of his checkup, he seemed to be perfectly healthy.

"That's such a weird disease?" Augustine was surprised. "Is this considered skin disease?"

"No, his skin is normal."

Dr. Yun turned to Tang Li and asked, "What do you think, Miss Tang?"

The other two immediately turned to look at Tang Li.

Tang Li thought for a moment before saying, "It should be related to mental illness, but we can't rule out the possibility of it being a genetic disease."

Actually, there was another possibility. It was an illness that could not be explained by science.

But Tang Li did not say that.

The four of them discussed whether it was a mental illness or a genetic disease.

After the meal, Tang Li was going to take a nap. She laid on the bed and glanced at her phone. When she saw that there was a message, she opened it.

Huang Tao, "Miss Tang, Third Master and Sixth Miss of the Xu Family came to the company today.. Miss Xu acted quite flirtatiously towards Master. Do you want me to film it?"

Chapter 23: I'm Married, Please Don't Cause Misunderstandings

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Seeing the message, Tang Li immediately sat up.

Huang Tao was someone sent by the Host to spy on the Qi family (As a vicious female supporting character, placing someone next to her husband was the standard). The Host used this person to know everything Qi Yihan was doing.

After Tang Li read the message, her first reaction was confusion, thinking to herself, "It's weird that Qi Yihan doesn't know that the Host has sent someone to spy on him. It doesn't make sense."

Then Tang Li started to worry about her marriage. She quickly replied, "What did she do?"

After a while, a message came, "She's wearing a low-cut dress today, leaning towards Mr. Qi from time to time."

Tang Li scoffed and continued asking, "How did Qi Yihan react?"

Huang Tao, "Mr. Qi didn't even look at her, but…"

Tang Li lost her patience waiting for his replies, so she called him.

The phone rang a few times before the other party picked it up. He lowered his voice as if he was afraid of being overheard. "Miss Tang."

Tang Li asked directly, "But what?"

1

Huang Tao, "Just now, Mr. Qi went to the company cafe with them for coffee. I heard that Miss Xu accidentally spilled the coffee on Mr. Qi's thigh, and Miss Xu wanted to wipe the coffee stains for Mr. Qi. That scene, tsk tsk… it was extremely lovey-dovey."

Tang Li was able to imagine that scene. Her grip on her phone tightened as she asked with a straight face, "What's Qi Yihan's reaction?"

Huang Tao, "Mr. Qi didn't let her wipe. Instead, he went to his office to change."

Tang Li was satisfied. This meant that her position as Fourth Madam was still stable.

Huang Tao continued, "I think Miss Xu did it on purpose. Miss Tang, do you want me to give Miss Xu a hand?"

Tang Li suddenly became curious and asked, "How?"

"I'll put something in Mr. Qi's coffee secretly and lure Miss Xu to his office."

"You can do that?"

Tang Li became even more curious, wondering why the person the Host sent was so capable.

Huang Tao smiled playfully on the other end of the phone. "I've already bribed Secretary Yang from the Secretariat. Secretary Yang is in charge of making coffee for Mr. Qi."

Tang Li was blown away by his tactics.

Just when she was about to ask something, Huang Tao said to someone, "No, I'm on the phone with my family."

Another voice sounded. "Minister Jin wants you to go to his office."

Huang Tao responded and hung up.

Tang Li looked at the phone for a few seconds. Then she threw the phone aside and went to take a nap.

What she didn't know was that after Huang Tao was brought to Minister Jin's office, he realized Qi Yihan was there as well.

Qi Yihan just sat there, his entire body emitting a domineering aura that made Huang Tao's heart palpitate. He stuttered, "Mr… Mr. Qi."

Qi Yihan's gaze was fierce. He shut his mouth tight and did not speak.

It was Minister Jin who said, standing beside him, "Did you just say you'll secretly put something in Mr. Qi's coffee and lure Miss Xu to his office?"

"Now speak! Who told you to do that?"

Huang Tao trembled and denied subconsciously, "I… I didn't."

Minister Jin shouted, "Do you want me to play the recording?"

Huang Tao's body trembled even more violently.

Secretary Jin couldn't help but feel pity for him. Although Qi Yihan knew that this person was sent by someone to spy on him, he didn't bother to kick him out. But this time what he was planning to do really pissed Qi Yihan off.

Qi Yihan and Minister Jin didn't speak, but the atmosphere was so oppressive that Huang Tao couldn't breathe.

Huang Tao could not stand the atmosphere anymore. He said in a trembling voice, "It was… It was Mrs. Qi who made me do that."

1

Minister Jin stole a glance at Qi Yihan and found that the cold aura around him had grown stronger.

He was wondering if Mrs. Qi could live to see the sun tomorrow morning because the expression on Qi Yihan's face told him that he was not gonna let his wife off the hook easily this time.

Just as Minister Jin was thinking to himself, Qi Yihan suddenly said, "Take him and Secretary Yang to Yang Cheng."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the office.

The moment Qi Yihan walked out of Minister Jin's office, Huang Tao's legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

His face was ashen.

After Qi Yihan left Minister Jin's office, he went straight to the company cafe.

Seeing him walk over, Xu Shize smiled and said, "Yihan, why did you take so long to change your clothes?"

Qi Yihan stopped next to them and said coldly, "I'll get someone else to discuss the project with you. I have something to deal with this afternoon and need to leave."

With that, he was about to leave.

Xu Yaran immediately stood up and stopped him. "Brother Yihan."

Qi Yihan stopped suddenly and turned to look at her. His expression was cold and his gaze sharp. "I'm already married. Please don't do anything that will cause misunderstandings in the future."

1

After saying that, he turned around and left without caring about how Xu Yaran would take his words.

Once Qi Yihan left, Xu Yaran covered her face and started crying.

She felt terribly humiliated.

1

Xu Shize looked at the sobbing Xu Yaran and felt a little upset that Qi Yihan humiliated his sister in front of so many people. However, he tried to comfort her by saying, "Yaran, his father likes Tang Li. To keep his position in the company, he won't cross the line at this point."When Xu Yaran heard this, she stopped crying and looked up at him. "You mean that as long as his father… leaves, Brother Yihan will fall in love with me."

3

"One thing for certain is that he will divorce Tang Li."

Xu Yaran wiped her tears away and said happily, "Alright, I'll wait until his father passes away and chase after him when he is divorced."

4

"Yeah."

Tang Li took a nap. When she woke up, she headed to Augustine's laboratory.

There were all kinds of equipment and drugs in the laboratory, as well as many experimental subjects. Today, Tang Li did not do any experiments but watched Augustine do them.

"Miss Tang, I've reached a bottleneck in this experiment where nothing works. Help me find what I've done wrong, will you?"

Tang Li looked at it for a while before pointing at one of the steps. "Here…"

Qi Yihan stood by the laboratory door and looked at the woman who was doing an experiment. All his anger suddenly dissipated.

He did not go in and just stood there watching.

The two people in the lab did the experiment for almost two hours before it ended. Augustine was greatly inspired. Tang Li wanted to visit the old man, so she left him alone to continue the experiment. She went to the old man's ward.

When she pushed open the door, she found Qi Yihan sitting by the bedside reading the news to his father. Tang Li was extremely surprised.

Qi Yihan turned around when Tang Li pushed open the door.

His gaze was heavy, giving off an impression that something bad was gonna happen.

Tang Li did not mind and asked, "Why are you here so early?"

Qi Yihan's expression was extremely serious.. "I have something to discuss with you in person."

Chapter 24: Ask Yourself Why

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Yeah?"

Tang Li looked at him in surprise, wondering what could bring such a busy person over.

She had a bad feeling about what was gonna happen.

The old man was apparently pleased, saying to them, "Go ahead. I'll take a rest."

Qi Yihan stood up and walked toward Tang Li.

Without a moment of hesitation, she turned around and walked out first.

The two of them went to the villa next door.

Butler Zhang, who was watering the plants in the courtyard, was surprised to see them come in at this point in time. He stood goggling at them and didn't even notice that his clothes were all drenched by the water.

Qi Yihan suddenly looked at him and said, "Get out."

Butler Zhang trembled at the order and left at once after turning off the water.

The two of them walked into the living room. Tang Li looked at the serious man sitting opposite her and asked first, "Why are you looking for me?"

Qi Yihan looked at her and said in a low voice, "In the future, if you dare do that kind of despicable thing to me again, we'll divorce."

Tang Li didn't know what to say to that. She felt like the book was always trying to make her a character everyone hated.

Looking at the man who was obviously angry and was about to burst with anger, for some reason, she felt irritated. She stood up and walked over to stand in front of him.

Qi Yihan was really tall. As he sat there, he raised his head slightly to look at her. Though Tang Li stood in front of him, she was still not strong enough to suppress his violent and fierce aura. If it were anyone else, they would have been suppressed by his aura.

As the successor of Taoism, Tang Li was already a master in her teens, respected by everyone. She had seen all kinds of people and was not afraid of his aura at all. Instead, she leaned forward and looked into his eyes. With one hand on the sofa beside him, she said in an especially domineering manner,

"Huang Hao is indeed the person I sent to spy on you, but back then, I didn't want to spend the rest of my life with you… But now, I want! We're going to spend the rest of our lives together, so I won't do anything to harm you and make you divorce me."

The two of them were so close that they could see the subtle expressions on each other's faces. A faint fragrance mixed with the smell of the laboratory wafted into his nose. Looking at the woman in front of him, Qi Yihan didn't expect her to talk back when she should've been ridden with guilt. But for some reason, he started to believe in everything she said.

He looked right into her eyes without saying anything.

Tang Li had almond-shaped eyes. There was a glint in her eyes, and when she narrowed her eyes, there was an indescribable sharpness.

At this moment, she was staring at him angrily.

Seeing that Qi Yihan was silent, Tang Li thought that he did not believe her words. She pressed her other hand on his shoulder unhappily and said, "Anyway, I didn't ask him to do what he did today. Yesterday, I told you that you would meet a lot of girls these two days… And you should also ask yourself why these women are throwing themselves at your feet."

Qi Yihan was speechless, thinking to himself, "So in the end, it is my fault?"

2

After saying that, Tang Li retracted her hand and straightened her body. "I'll make some antidotes for you. You can bring them with you, so you won't get killed by poisons. This way, I won't have to worry about you getting killed by wicked people."

"…"

Qi Yihan was finally certain that this woman really did not want to divorce him

1

So, why didn't she want to divorce him?

Looking at her in the eyes, he did not see a single bit of love.

"I can give you whatever you want as long as…"

Qi Yihan did not say the last few words, but Tang Li understood. She said seriously, "I want to be your wife!"

1

With that said, she crossed her arms and lifted her chin slightly. She looked like a queen. "Anyway, you promised me that as long as I treat your father, we won't get a divorce. If something like this happens again in the future, just remember that I don't mean it, and I will try to be a better wife!"

Although the Host had caused so much trouble, since she was in this body now, she would have to clean the mess.

Qi Yihan looked at her, his fingers twitching and his expression complicated.

This woman was too different from what he remembered.

Could it be that she had always been acting in the past, and this was her true nature now?

Qi Yihan fell into deep thought because of the drastic change in his attitude towards her. Seeing that he was still silent, Tang Li became even more frustrated and was about to ask him to say something.

Suddenly, Qi Yihan's phone rang.

He took out his phone. What the other party said to him was inaudible, but he suddenly froze and replied, "I'll be right there."

Then, he put away his phone and looked at Tang Li seriously. "I hope this will not happen again."

With that said, he stood up and left.

Tang Li watched him leave. She sat on the sofa and rested her chin on her hand, thinking about what else the Host had done that would make him divorce her.

After thinking for a while, she covered her forehead and muttered, "I wonder if she did anything good."

In fact, the Host was not evil by nature. However, many people around her were making her do stupid things to piss off Qi Yihan, so Tang Li was not sure what kind of surprises were in store for her.

She walked out of the villa and was taking a stroll in the neighborhood.

At that moment, the neighborhood was packed with cars everywhere. Tang Li suddenly recalled that not a single person from the Qi family had come to visit the old man so far, and she was certain that Qi Yihan must have done something to stop them from coming.

After she walked for a while, a car suddenly drove past her and then pulled off the road. The car window rolled down where a man with a short-sleeved black t-shirt and big eyes looked out.

Seeing her, the man was surprised. "Tang Li, why are you here?"

Tang Li looked at the man in the car, and the information about this person automatically appeared in her mind. His name was Ouyang Yi, and he went to the same high school with the Host. He had been pursuing the Host from the first year of high school to the third year of high school. However, this person was not the type that the Host liked, so he was rejected every time.

But this person was not someone who gave up easily. He went on trying and trying.

According to the original storyline, it was this benefactor who helped the Host get back on her feet after being suppressed by Qi Yihan.

However, Because Ouyang Yi was from a military family, the author did not dare to write much about him and only mentioned him casually.

As for how Qi Yihan dealt with this person, it was not written in the book at all.

"Ouyang Yi."

"What? It's been only a few years since we last met, and you don't recognize me anymore?"

After saying that, he opened the door, got out of the car, and strode to her.

Because he went to a military school, the two of them had indeed not seen each other for a few years.

He liked her exactly because of the fact that she always ignored him.

"What do you want?" Tang Li did not intend to catch up with him. However, seeing the righteousness in him, she kindly reminded him, "You will face a bloody calamity soon. Be careful."

Ouyang Yi, who was just thinking about catching up with his crush, was rendered speechless.

Chapter 25: Is It My Fault to Have a Pretty Face

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After a moment of silence, Ouyang Yi asked, "How have you been these few years?"

Tang Li looked at his excited face, and she felt the need to make it clear. "I've been good. By the way, I'm already married, and I love my husband deeply. You should be here to visit a patient, so I won't keep you any longer… Oh, wait, if you know any patients who can't be treated, you can look for me. I specialize in treating all kinds of complicated diseases."

"…"

Ouyang Yi felt that Tang Li was hinting at something. He opened his mouth and was about to speak.

Tang Li didn't give him a chance to speak. She quickly emphasized again, "I'm already married, and I love my husband. I don't think you, as military personnel, would do something so immoral as to ruin someone's family, right?"

"…"

Tang Li was very satisfied as she watched the young man leave with a sad expression. She hated ambiguity, especially when it came to relationships between men and women.

4

As she continued walking for a while, a large park appeared in front of her.

When Tang Li walked over, she saw a familiar face.

It was Situ Jin.

Situ Jin was dressed in a hospital gown as he sat in the pavilion that was surrounded by blooming flowers. He held a handkerchief in his hand and coughed from time to time, looking just like a prince.

Three young nurses were standing beside him.

"Mr. Situ, why don't we go back? You're coughing so badly. Doctor Tan said you have to keep yourself warm."

"Mr. Situ, would you like some water?"

"Mr. Situ, let me massage your back."

Tang Li looked at the four people in the pavilion and suddenly had a feeling that she was not in a hospital but in an ancient brothel.

5

She crossed her arms and observed Situ Jin.

He was a rich guy and probably had something good to offer, so Tang Li wanted to get to know more about him.

At that moment, Situ Jin, who was still coughing, suddenly raised his head and looked towards her.

Their eyes met.

Tang Li smirked and walked toward him. When she got closer, she purposely imitated the way the nurses addressed him. "Mr. Situ, looks like you've been leading a comfortable life ever since you came to the hospital."

Situ Jin coughed again and said to the three nurses," I'll sit here for a while. You guys can go back. "

The three nurses reluctantly left.

When they walked past Tang Li, they sized her up and thought to themselves, "What a pretty chick. What's the relationship between her and Mr. Situ?"

Tang Li sized them up, too. Then with a broad smile, she walked up to Situ Jin.

"Situ Jin, are you here in the hospital because you're too bored?"

Even though Situ Jin was coughing non-stop, Tang Li could tell that his condition was the same as before. She knew that his illness was innate and that staying here in the hospital wouldn't help him much. All he needed to do was stay at home and rest.

When Situ Jin heard Tang Li's question, he covered his mouth and coughed twice. After concealing all the emotions in his eyes, he asked instead of answering, "Isn't Madam supposed to be taking care of Yihan's father now? Why do have time to walk around?"

He was obviously saying that Tang Li was not doing her job properly.

After all, it was only natural to think ill of somebody, who was roaming about in a hospital full of big shots, instead of taking care of the patient.

Tang Li scoffed and sat opposite him. "There is such a rule in this hospital that says you can't walk around. Mr. Situ, you don't have to beat about the bush."

Then, Situ Jin narrowed his eyes and continued, "I remember that as long as the patient says that he or she doesn't wish to be disturbed, then the hospital will make sure they're not disturbed at all costs. So I guess you are here because you are trying to avoid someone, right?"

After saying that, he lowered his eyes and started coughing again.

When Tang Li saw him like this, she smiled and said, "Your family believes that a marriage can help you recover, and it so happened that you have an arranged marriage. You are trying to hide from your fiancee, aren't you?"

Situ Jin finally stopped coughing and looked sharply at Tang Li. At the same time, a mocking smile appeared on his lips. "I used to think that Miss Tang was a very lovable person, but now I know that Miss Tang likes to pry into other people's privacy. Tell me, what do you want?"

Tang Li looked at Situ Jin. To people who ridiculed her, she usually liked to retort immediately. "Do you think that a sickly person like you, who is about to die, will have anything that I want? Money? Do you have as much money as my husband? Stamina? With your body, I can crush you to death with one finger."

When Situ Jin heard these words, a flash of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes. Then, he coughed twice. When he looked up, his expression became very calm. "So what does Miss Tang want?"

Tang Li placed her hands on her knees and glanced at him. "I thought about treating you for free because you're Yihan's friend, but I've changed my mind now. If you ask me to treat you again, you'll have to pay double."

With that, she stood up and left.

After taking two steps, she stopped and reminded him kindly without turning her head, "You'd better be more careful these two nights because you might die. After all, it's difficult to treat your illness without touching women."

Situ Jun, who was about to cough, suddenly shuddered. He looked up at Tang Li, who was already far away, and a gloominess flashed across his eyes.

How did she know?

When Tang Li returned, Butler Zhang was waiting for her outside the villa.

Upon seeing her, Butler Zhang heaved a sigh of relief and hurried over to her. "Madam, you're finally back."

Tang Li looked at him in confusion. "What's the matter?"

Apparently, Butler Zhang was trying to find a proper way to put his words. After a few seconds, he said, "Madam, you didn't look at your phone, right?"

"Nope."

In reality, Tang Li did not have many relatives, and she did not like to bring her phone with her. This habit could not be changed anytime soon.

"Just tell me what it is."

"It's just that… There's a lot of news about Mr. Bai on the Internet all of a sudden, and It was said that he has a sugar mommy. Someone suspected that you are the sugar mommy."

"What else did they say?"

"They also said that the reason why Mr. Bai became so popular in such a short period of time is that he has a sugar mommy. Then, an insider revealed that Mr. Bai's sugar mommy is a madam from upper-class society who is especially good-looking. From this information, many people infer that his sugar mommy is you."

Tang Li was silent for a while. Suddenly, she sighed while touching her face. "Apparently, a pretty face is not all that good."

Butler Zhang thought to himself, "Madam, aren't you focusing on the wrong thing?"

Chapter 26: Tang Li Made a Complaint

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Explain what?"

Qi Yihan already knew about this. What difference did it make whether she explained it or not?

However, it was obvious that someone exposed this on purpose. Without even thinking, Tang Li knew for a fact that Yihan's brothers did it.

She decided to punish the three brothers and then give Bai Qingyang a lesson later that night.

Tang Li said to Butler Zhang, "Just leave this matter to me."

With that, she walked into the villa.

Butler Zhang looked at Tang Li, who was walking into the villa, and was dumbfounded, thinking to himself, "Madam, do you really know what to do?"

Tang Li walked into the old man's ward. At that moment, Mr. Yun was talking to him. When Mr. Yun saw Tang Li, he smiled and said, "I thought Miss Tang went to Mr. Augustine's laboratory. Apparently, you didn't."

"No, I went out for a walk."

Mr. Yun nodded. He stood up and said, "Then come with me. I'll show you some of the good medicinal herbs that we purchased over the past two days."

Tang Li smiled and said, "Mr. Yun, wait for me outside. I need to talk to him."

"Sure."

Mr. Yun agreed and left.

Tang Li walked to the old man's bedside and sat down. Without beating about the bush, she said to him, "Father, three brothers are slandering me on the internet and trying to ruin my relationship with Yihan."

Suddenly, his good mood was gone and his face darkened. "Call Wang Hui in."

Wang Hui was the Butler of the Qi Mansion. After the old man was hospitalized, he came over to take care of him.

Tang Li nodded, stood up, and walked out.

When she reached the door, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

She couldn't even be bothered to personally deal with the three brothers. If they dared to scheme against her, someone would help her take care of them.

When Butler Wang called the Qi Mansion, the kids of First and Second Masters were still waiting for Tang Li to call them.

Butler Wang made a call to each family and said the same thing. "Old Master said that if you dare to slander Fourth Madam again on the internet again and ruin her relationship with Fourth Master, you won't get a penny from me."

These words quickly reached the ears of the three masters. They couldn't contain their anger and immediately stormed into the CEO's office to question Qi Yihan.

First Master asked, "Fourth brother, what does Tang Li mean?"

Second Master said, "You want our shares? You can do so In your dreams! Do you think she can do whatever she wants just because she's with our father?"

Third Master said, "Fourth brother, you better tell her to shut up. Otherwise, if our father finds out the truth, he will be furious and die from a heart attack. By then, she won't be the only one to blame."

First Master added, "I knew that Tang Li had bad intentions when she went to take care of our father. No, I can't let her stay in the hospital alone with our father. I'll send Yueling over."

Second Master added, "I'll send Yunyao over too."

Third Master added, "Manli has nothing to do recently. She can also spend time with our father."

Qi Yihan looked at his three brothers, who were speaking to him in a determined tone. He waited for them to finish before asking casually, "Are you done?"

The three of them glared at him.

"You dare to object?"

Qi Yihan sat there without a change in expression and said with his usual cold and domineering attitude, "Whether they can go or not, it's not up to me. You should ask Father and see if he wants them to go."

The faces of the three instantly turned twisted.

Their father had told them to not go visit him after he was hospitalized.

Qi Yihan glanced at the three of them coldly before returning his gaze to his computer. As he typed on his keyboard, he said, "If you guys came to question me, you've found the wrong person. If you guys want to talk about work, I was actually gonna call you guys and talk about the project you've taken over recently. Tell me, why haven't you made any progress with the project? Don't you remember what you promised me back then? If you really don't have the ability, leave it to the capable."

The questions Qi Yihan threw at them made the three masters look even more twisted.

They were the ones who came to question him, but they ended up being questioned.

Qi Yihan glanced at the three of them and said unreservedly, "I have a meeting to attend. If there's nothing else, please leave."

"You…"

Qi Yihan made it clear that he would not interfere in this matter. No matter how angry the three of them were, they could only leave first.

After they went out, the three of them went back to their own offices. First Master and Third Master called their kids at the same time, reproaching them for screwing up the plan.

The kids of First Master were also angry after being reproached, so they vented their anger on Qi Lingxuan.

Qi Lingxuan endured it all and tried his best to be invisible in the Qi family. Meanwhile, he was secretly gathering information about what each member was up to.

Just then, he heard First Madam and Qi Yueling were talking about a batch of jade raw materials that the Qi family had just purchased.

"This time, Father and Second Brother are in charge of purchasing jade raw materials. I heard that they bought several pieces of top-grade raw stones. As long as they can make them into jades, they will get the credit."

"Your father and second brother are the best. Even if your fourth uncle tries to stop them, they are still able to accomplish great things." First Madam said proudly.

The Artifact Spirit in Qi Lingxuan's body said to him, "There is a large amount of Spirit in the jade, especially top-grade jade. You can go to the Qi family's raw stone warehouse to take a look."

Qi Lingxuan thought the same.

At the hospital.

After Tang Li made her complaint, she followed Mr. Yun to the Chinese medicine storehouse.

The hospital's Chinese medicine storehouse was especially large. It covered a few thousand square meters and was divided into a basement and a floor. There were dozens of rooms where various herbs were stored.

The two of them headed straight to the basement. Even Mr. Yun couldn't help but sigh in admiration. "I've been to many large hospitals and medical schools in the past few years, but this hospital has the most variety of herbs. Some of the herbs are rarely seen nowadays. I didn't expect this hospital to be able to find them. The boss of this hospital is really amazing."

"Mr. Yun, who is the boss of this hospital?"

"I don't know. No one knows."

At this moment, Mr. Yun sighed again. "I've been a doctor for decades, and I have taught countless students. Some of them managed to get into the leadership of the Central Medical Academy, while others managed to get into the position of a top professor at the Central University Medical Academy. However, none of them are as capable as Miss Tang."

The corners of Tang Li's lips curled up slightly. She was not humble at all. "I'm different from them."

She was a mystic doctor. How could ordinary doctors compare to her?

After interacting with her for the past few days, Mr. Yun did not feel that she was arrogant. Instead, he smiled and nodded in agreement. "That's right. Your understanding of medicine is even more thorough than mine. If not for the fact that I'm already old enough to be your grandfather, I really want to acknowledge you as my master."

Tang Li smiled as well. "I don't accept disciples."

Tang Li was the most orthodox successor of Taoism (there were many sects of Taoism in the world). She was born with mystic abilities. Even if she took in a disciple, she would only take in one who was equally gifted.

Mr. Yun thought that Tang Li was being respectful to him by saying so, so he continued, laughing, "It's fine if you don't take me in. If there's a chance in the future, I'll call my students from Imperial Capital City to get to know you. If you need anything, you can look for them directly."

Tang Li nodded with a smile.. "Sure."

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

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: 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?"

1

"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.

2

"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.

Chapter 28: Tang Li Made Bai Qingyang Speak His Mind

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Bai Qingyang joined the production team today, and the production team was at the film studio in the north of the city.

Although the scandal about Bai Qingyang caused a huge stir on the internet, in the following day, people quickly forgot all about it. However, after this scandal, he became well-known and received a lot of acting opportunities.

Bai Qingyang did not expect such an effect. His initial uneasiness completely disappeared. He felt that he had made the right bet this time. As soon as he entered the production team, he would put on an arrogant attitude whenever he saw anyone.

This made many people dislike him.

"He's just a pretty boy who depends on a woman, what's there to be proud of? I feel that letting Miss Fei act with him is an insult to Miss Fei's status as an A-lister."

"Well, what can you do about it? After all, his sugar mommy is rich and powerful."

"Ha! I was looking forward to this drama before. I thought that if the Best Actor and Best Actress worked together, it would definitely be a big hit. I would be happy even if I played a minor role in it, but now…"

"If you don't want to act, you can leave the production team now."

The sudden voice made the two men who were hiding in the corner shudder at the same time. Looking at Bai Qingyang, they knew that if Bai Qingyang said anything to the director, they would have to leave.

The two of them quickly lowered their heads and apologized to him. "Mr. Bai, my apology. We won't gossip about you behind your back anymore. Please forgive us this time."

"Please don't tell the director. He will definitely kick us out."

"It's too late!" Bai Qingyang glared at them coldly. He was ready to make an example out of them, and he had no intention of showing them any mercy. "Just wait and see. I'll show you the consequences of talking behind my back."

With that said, he turned and left.

When Tang Li arrived, Bai Qingyang had just come out of the director's room.

Zhou Qian followed beside him and said with a frown, "There's actually no need to make such a big fuss over this matter. If it gets exposed, it won't be good for your image."

"What's so bad about that?" Bai Qingyang stopped and sneered. "Being notorious is the same as being famous. Besides, even if I'm notorious, I can still do better than many people in the entertainment industry."

"You…"

Zhou Qian could not believe that Bai Qingyang would have such a thought. "Qingyang, do you know how dangerous your current thinking is? The entertainment industry is different from other industries. If what you just said gets out, you're done."

"That's not possible." The Qi family was cooperating with him now, so he thought he could do whatever he wanted.

Suddenly, a sound resembling that of a bell was heard.

Then, Bai Qingyang added, "The Qi family said that as long as I do what they say, I can do whatever I want in the entertainment industry."

Zhou Qian was no longer as worried as before. Her voice was filled with excitement. "Qingyang, you're amazing. You actually managed to team up with the Qi family. The fans and netizens are all idiots to think that they can make you disappear with just some mean words. As long as the Qi family wants, you'll become the Best Actor in no time."

"Best Actor is just a start. As long as I please them, I'll become an international Best Actor very soon. The fans are all brainless idiots. When the time comes, I'll make those people who slandered me eat sh*t, and I'll make all the fans get on their knees and beg."

At this point, both of them burst out laughing.

The faint sound of a bell could be heard again in the air, and both of their bodies shook at the same time. They suddenly came back to their senses, and a terrified look crept upon their faces.

"What did I just say?"

"What did I just say?"

The words they had just said replayed in their minds, and both of them panicked.

Bai Qingyang's face was pale, and his lips were trembling. "Sister Zhou, I didn't mean to say those things just now."

"Me too." Zhou Qian calmed herself down and said, "Let's not panic first. There's no one here. We'll just keep those words to ourselves. As long as you don't say it, I won't say it. No one will know."

"Right, right, right. If we don't tell anyone, no one will know."

"Qingyang, it's okay. Now we go back and rest. When we wake up tomorrow, we'll forget about it."

"Yes, yes, yes."

With that, the two of them returned to their rooms.

After Tang Li walked out of the hotel where the production team was staying, she looked at the recording on her phone. She was not in a hurry to go back, so she found a quiet place and sat down. Then she edited the recording and sent it to First Master and Third Master.

At the same time, she sent a message, "Do you think I should put this recording online or let your father listen to it?"

As expected, they soon called her.

Looking at the caller ID, Tang Li sneered and hung them up. She then left the hotel.

There were a bunch of hotels on this side of the film studio. Most of the hotels were built in traditional Chinese style and were quite expensive. As the streets and hotels were lit up by lanterns decorated everywhere, the scene looked straight out of a movie.

It was already past 11 pm and there were not many people on the streets.

Tang Li had only taken a few steps when she heard someone sobbing. She suddenly stopped and turned to look at the dark alley between the two hotels.

There was no light in the dark alley, but Tang Li smiled.

Tang Li walked to the entrance of the alley. With a wave of her hand, the entire alley lit up. A woman with disheveled hair, who looked like she had just been raped, cowered in the corner, crying.

Tang Li's gaze was fixed on the bracelet on the woman's fair wrist. A glint flashed across her eyes.

"Do you want to return the humiliation you suffered tonight?"

The sudden voice caused the body of the woman to shudder. Then she abruptly raised her head to look, and she was stunned by what she saw.

The dark alley lit up magically.

The woman standing in front of her was so beautiful that when she looked at her, she felt inferior. The aura on her body was so powerful that she thought the woman was an angel.

"Who are you?"

"I'm someone who can help you."

Tang Li looked at her face and said slowly, "You graduated from a famous art school and were one of the top students. You have countless suitors. In the four years of your university life, you shot many commercials and TV shows, and you were very popular in your school."

"However, the reality is that after you stepped into society, the good scripts were taken away by people who are worse than you. Be it the capitalist, director, or screenwriter, the first thing they want to do is sleep with you. You don't want to climb up the social ladder by selling your body, so you become poorer and poorer."

"On the contrary, your competitor is doing better and better and was even nominated for several awards not long ago, but you are still nothing."

After saying that, Tang Li walked toward her. As she walked, she said, "You are meant to become an international movie star, but someone stole your luck. If you don't get your luck back, you won't be able to make a comeback for the rest of your life."

The woman stared at Tang Li as she approached her, and there was a voice in her head that told her, "Trust her, she can help you."

"What can I do to get my luck back?"

Chapter 29: Give Me The Video, I'll Solve This Matter

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yang Xuelan looked at the woman in front of her and felt that she was her savior.

Looking at her, Tang Li smiled and said, "I can help you, but you'll have to give me something… Is that alright?"

"What do you want?"

Tang Li pointed at her wrist. "I want your bracelet."

Yang Xuelan subconsciously shook her head, saying, "No… no, this bracelet is the only thing my granny left for me. I can't give it to you."

Tang Li sighed. "Well then, you can keep it. Since you don't wanna trade this bracelet, I can't help you."

With that, she turned around and left.

Looking at Tang Li, who was leaving, Yang Xuelan panicked and hastened to say, "Other than the bracelet, I can give you anything else."

Tang Li sneered when she heard that, and she said to her, almost mockingly, "I'm helping you change your fate, not negotiating with you. Do you think I'll be interested in anything else?"

With that, Tang Li continued to walk. With every step she took, the alley grew dimmer, making Yang Xuelan panic even more. "Wait, I'll trade this bracelet!"

She believed that even if grandma was still around, she would not object to her using this bracelet to trade for her own fate.

Tang Li stopped and turned around to look at her before extending her hand toward her.

Yang Xuelan touched the bracelet one last time before reluctantly taking it off.

Tang Li took the bracelet and then cast a spell in the air. The spell then entered Yang Xuelan's body.

Yang Xuelan slowly closed her eyes.

Tang Li looked at her and said, "Go back and change your place of residence. Other than the personal items you bought, leave everything else behind. Go for the audition for Director Zhang's movie. Remember, don't tell anyone before you receive the notice, including your family, friends, and manager."

After saying that, she strode out of the alley.

A moment later, Yang Xuelan opened her eyes and the alley returned to darkness.

She touched her wrist. The bracelet was no longer there, but she felt a sense of relief.

Without lingering, she stood up and left the alley.

On the other side.

In the northern part of the city, there was a cluster of warehouses.

Most of the warehouses were occupied by large corporations, taking up a thousand acres of land. The Qi family's warehouse was the largest one with a mountain behind it.

It was already past 11 pm when a group of bodyguards came out of the warehouse, followed by Qi Yihan, Qi Ming, and First Master.

First Master looked confident and proud. He was saying, "When I first saw it, I knew that you can get a top-grade jade out of that raw stone. I even found five jade masters to take a look at it, and they all said it is going to be an extremely rare jade."

Qi Yihan shut his mouth tight and remained silent.

When they were outside the warehouse, he said to the warehouse supervisor who was with them, "Start carving the raw stone tomorrow, and tell me what kind of jade it turns out to be."

"Is it necessary to bother Manager Li? I think Qi Ming is perfectly up to the task." First Master was a little displeased. He felt that Qi Yihan wanted to take the credit for his work, so he said to Qi Ming, "Ming, you can stay here tonight and keep an eye on the stone."

The profits from buying raw stones were huge. As long as First Master could get a few top-grade jades this time, he would definitely be in charge of this job in the future.

Qi Ming was obedient to his father. He said immediately, "Yes, father."

Qi Yihan threw a look at the two of them and then went straight to his car without objecting.

As soon as the car left, Manager Li asked Qi Ming, trying to kiss his ass, "Mr. Qi, I got some good wine. Do you wanna come and give it a try?"

Qi Ming thought that since there was nothing to do now at the warehouse, why not. The two of them then went to the office next to the warehouse.

What they didn't know was that a figure silently came down from the back mountain and entered the raw stone warehouse while they were drinking.

All the surveillance cameras failed at the same time.

The moment Qi Lingxuan entered the warehouse, the Artifact Spirit came out of his body and floated towards the raw stones.

Qi Lingxuan smiled, looking at the high-quality raw stone that had turned into ordinary stones, and thought to himself, "I'll see what kind of top-grade jades you guys can get tomorrow."

The Artifact Spirit absorbed it very quickly. When he returned to Qi Lingxuan's body, Qi Lingxuan could feel that he was much stronger than before.

The Artifact Spirit said, "Other than jade, the best are still antiques. Many antiques gather heaven and earth spiritual energy. As long as I absorb a little more of them, I can become one with you. Also, you'd better nourish your body with medical herbs. Otherwise, your body might not be able to withstand my power and might explode."

1

Qi Lingxuan clenched his fists and asked, "What are the best herbs?"

The Artifact Spirit told him what were the best herbs and where to get them.

Qi Lingxuan nodded and left quietly.

When Tang Li went downstairs the next morning, she found Qi Yihan there talking with Butler Zhang.

The two of them stood outside the door.

Suddenly, Qi Yihan stopped talking and turned to look at her.

Butler Zhang stopped too and asked Tang Li respectfully with arms crossed in front of him, "Madam, do you want to eat breakfast now or later?"

Tang Li did not answer him immediately. Instead, she walked up to Qi Yihan and asked, "Why are you here so early?"

Qi Yihan said to her, "I found one of the herbs you wanted. Take a look at it to see if it's the right one."

After saying that, he took out his phone and swiped across the screen before handing it to Tang Li.

Tang Li took it and saw a video on it.

The video showed the herb in close-up.

Tang Li looked at it for a while before raising her head to look at him. She smiled and said, "Not bad. Your people are really good at finding herbs. They actually managed to find one of them so quickly."

Qi Yihan saw the smile on her face and nodded. He took the phone from her and was about to leave.

"Wait." Tang Li stopped him. "I have a video to show you too. Wait for me."

She didn't bring her phone when she came down. After stopping Qi Yihan, she turned and ran into her room.

Qi Yihan asked Butler Zhang abruptly, "What was she doing last night?"

Butler Zhang quickly replied, "Madam stayed in the laboratory until ten o'clock last night. She went to rest after she came back."

Qi Yihan nodded and remained silent.

Tang Li quickly came back with her phone and medicine bottle.

She handed the medicine bottle to him, saying, "Here, the medicine in here can cure many types of poison. Of course, the best cure is medicine C. If you get drugged or poisoned by bad guys ever again, just take one."

Qi Yihan looked at her with a straight face. He didn't reply and didn't say anything.

Butler Zhang looked at Tang Li and thought, "Madam, are you concerned about Master, or are you doing this on purpose? Can't you see that Master doesn't look happy now?"

Tang Li couldn't tell whether Qi Yihan was in a good mood or not. Seeing that he wasn't taking it, she stuffed it into his pocket. Then she took out her phone and searched for a while before playing the video she recorded last night.

After the video was finished, she asked Qi Yihan, "Do you think I should just show it to your father or put it online?"

The butler was shocked, asking, "Madam, when did you get this recording?"

Qi Yihan said, looking solemn, "Give me the video.. I'll solve this matter."

Chapter 30: Madam, Did You Just Say A Pick-Up Line To Master?

Hearing that, Tang Li sent the recording to his phone.

Qi Yihan looked at her and frowned. "Why are you telling me this?"

According to what he knew about her, if she got this recording, she would probably go to his two brothers.

If they had something on him, wouldn't it be easier for them to deal with him?

Seeing Qi Yihan's reaction, Tang Li knew what he was thinking. She snorted and thought to herself, "If I don't let you know about this matter, the next time people snitch on me, I'll have to explain myself again to you. I'm not that stupid."

Tang Li said seriously, "Didn't I tell you that you'll be my husband for the rest of my life? If I don't tell you this, who else should I tell?"

Qi Yihan did not have much of a reaction when he heard that.

But Butler Zhang was extremely surprised. He thought to himself, "Madam, did you just say a pick-up line to Master? And you said it so naturally. Are you planning something again?"

"To what extent do you want me to handle this matter for you?" Qi Yihan suddenly asked.

"To the extent that no one will have the chance to threaten me with this again."

Qi Yihan: "Okay."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Tang Li stood there with her hands behind her back as she watched him enter the car. After the car left, she went out for a walk.

Butler Zhang followed her again.

Tang Li gave him a piercing stare.

Butler Zhang said with a serious expression, "I heard that a particularly violent person was sent to the hospital yesterday. Many doctors and nurses are injured by that patient. I'm worried that Madam will get hurt if you run into this person."

Tang Li said, "Isn't such a dangerous person guarded by security guards?"

Butler Zhang lied blatantly, "The bodyguards and security guards were all thrown out by him."

Tang Li thought to herself, "Alright, it's not easy for Butler Zhang either. I'll just let him come along.".

Tang Li stopped asking and Butler Zhang heaved a sigh of relief.

Every morning, he would find an excuse to follow Madam. Luckily, Madam believed the excuses he made up.

This time, Tang Li went directly to the park.

In the morning, there were patients or doctors training in the park.

When Tang Li arrived, there were already many people there.

Coincidentally, Situ Jin was also there.

Situ Jin was still leaning against the railing in the pavilion like a sick man. The three nurses were still following him.

Tang Li glanced at him and noticed that the air of death around his head had become heavier. She clicked her tongue and walked to the other side.

Doctor Xiang was also in the park, having his morning exercise with a few other doctors while discussing diseases. When he saw Tang Li, he quickly waved at her. "Miss Tang, this way."

When Tang Li walked over, she heard a doctor asking Doctor Xiang, "Mr. Xiang, why did you tell the patient's family to come over?"

Only the three people who treated the old man knew what Tang Li was capable of. The others did not. Xiang Ping replied, "Miss Tang also knows about medicine. It's alright to let her listen."

Tang Li and Butler Zhang quickly walked over.

Xiang Ping told her about the topic of their discussion. "We were discussing a patient earlier. This patient eats a lot, probably a few hundred kilograms of food a day. However, his stomach is always empty. No matter how much he eats, he is always hungry, so hungry that he has to keep eating."

Tang Li and Mr. Yun heard about this patient in the restaurant yesterday, so she asked, "Have you done a full-body check-up on him? Other than his stomach, is there anything wrong with his digestive system?"

"Do you think that woman really knows about medicine? Look at how arrogantly she puts it. Doesn't she know that our hospital has the most renowned doctors in the world? Do we need an outsider like her to analyze the illness?" said a nurse standing beside Situ Jin.

The other two nurses immediately added.

"Exactly. Why do I feel like that woman is deliberately showing off?"

"She is just pretending and making a fool of herself."

"Mr. Situ, don't you agree?"

Situ Jin looked over with his eyes squinted. He was a little surprised that Tang Li would be called over to discuss diseases with a group of doctors. At this moment, she was exuding powerful confidence that made her look especially charming.

The only things Situ Jin knew about this woman were that she was Qi Yihan's wife and that she had a gigolo.

However, this had nothing to do with him, so he wouldn't comment.

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with us whether or not she's making a fool of herself." After Situ Jin finished speaking, he started coughing.

When he finished coughing, his phone suddenly rang.

He took out his phone and looked at the caller ID. Surprised by who it was, he picked up the call and said hello.

Xu Yaran's sweet voice was heard. "Brother Situ, I accidentally dropped an earring at the hospital yesterday. This pair of earrings is my favorite. I want to come over and look for it. Can you help me inform the security guard of my coming over to the hospital?"

Situ Jin coughed and wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief before saying, "Send me a picture of your earrings. I'll get someone from the hospital to help you find them. I'll send them to you when I find them."

"But I'm already at the hospital gate."

Situ Jin frowned. It was only seven o'clock. Did she actually come so early?

Xu Yaran added, "This earring was given to me by a very important friend of mine. If I can't find it, I'll be very sad."

Situ Jin's brows were tightly furrowed, and he insisted, "Where did you lose your earring? I'll get someone to help you look for it. I'll send it to you when I find it."

He was not familiar with Xu Yaran and did not want her to come in.

"No, I'm already at the entrance of the hospital. Just give the security guard a call and let me in. I'll leave once I find it. I promise I won't cause you any trouble."

Situ Jin suddenly glanced at Tang Li, who was surrounded by a group of doctors. He had a feeling that Xu Yaran had something else in her mind.

At that moment, he suddenly said, "I'm in the park. Tang Li happened to be here as well."

Xu Yaran suddenly raised her voice. "Really? Then I'll come to the park to look for you later."

When Situ Jin confirmed her true motive, a smile appeared on his face.

He suddenly became curious as to what this woman opposite him would do if she was put on the spot by Xu Yaran.

"Alright, I'll get someone to inform the security guard."

After hanging up the phone, Situ Jin got one of the nurses to call the security guard to let Xu Yaran in.

Xu Yaran arrived very quickly.

When she arrived, Tang Li was still discussing the patient's condition with a group of doctors.

Xu Yaran first called Situ Jin sweetly and asked, "Brother Situ, did my coming so early disturb your rest?"

"Ahem… no."

Xu Yaran pretended to look around casually. When she saw Tang Li surrounded by several doctors, she was shocked. "Why is she with a group of doctors?"

Instead of answering the question, Situ Jin remained quiet, deliberately leaving her to take wild guesses.

Xu Yaran watched for a while and said meaningfully, "Being pretty does have its advantages."
