"Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives!" Tang Xiaowan had only wanted to tease Cheng Shi and see his reaction. She knew he had feelings for Wang ijuan, but he was too scared to confess.
Why not call from far away?
Cheng Shi’s face was filled with worry and tension, suspecting sothing must be wrong, or else Wang ijuan wouldn’t have run over.
"Miss, Uncle Quan, Uncle Quan has left!"
"It’s normal for him to go out." As soon as Tang Xiaowan finished speaking, her eyes widened, "On a mission?"
"Could it be targeting Li Wanshan?"
"If it is, even better. He falsely accused my mom back in the day, he’s abominable, serves him right."
Wang ijuan: The miss finally said it!
Cheng Shi: Did I hear that right, mom?
While they were still caught in the excitent, Tang Xiaowan suddenly snorted coldly and quickly left the greenhouse, running towards the main villa.
She wanted to confirm whether Uncle Quan’s mission was indeed to intercept Li Wanshan.
"Don’t you knock, is there sothing?"
Tang i put down her teacup, glanced at her granddaughter, then got up and went to the lounge chair on the balcony, clearly adopting an attitude of seeing through things without pointing them out.
Before entering, Tang Xiaowan had already thought it over, now was not the ti to intercept Li Wanshan.
The words spoken in the room were just out of anger.
"Grandma, I want to learn so self-defense moves from Uncle Quan, could you... lend him to for a few days?" Tang Xiaowan cheerfully poured herself a cup of tea, gasping for breath as she ran upstairs, she was really thirsty.
Tang i: Here she goes again!
"Just a few days ago, didn’t you just borrow six bridesmaids, and now you’re starting with Uncle Quan?"
Tang Xiaowan quickly walked over to Tang i and acted coquettishly: "I haven’t, I just want to learn so self-defense moves, you see I’m now kind of... managing Chi Sea and Hai Sheng, you know my status is so high, what if I encounter..."
"Ling Xiao hasn’t arranged coaches for you? Aren’t two enough for making trouble?"
"Ah, but I want Uncle Quan!"
"Wait a few days; he’s gone to Country Y for work, and he probably won’t be back until your wedding, you can ask him then."
"Oh, so he went to Country Y." Tang Xiaowan heaved a sigh of relief, unconsciously touching her nose tip.
"Why, where did you think he went?"
"Nothing, nothing, goodnight, Grandma."
"Tangtang, stay at ho honestly, don’t run around." Tang i suddenly said, a hint of concern flashing in her eyes, "So many eyes are watching."
That clearly had a deeper aning, Tang Xiaowan was not foolish, she understood her grandmother’s implication.
"Oh, okay, got it."
Who knew, as soon as she stepped out, she ran into Ye Wanhua, who had co to deliver bird’s nest to Tang i.
"Are you here to see Grandma?"
Tang Xiaowan smiled naïvely: "Mhm."
"Your portion has been sent to the bedroom, rember to eat it while it’s hot." Ye Wanhua tenderly instructed, her bright eyes full of affection.
"Wow, I have one too, thanks mom!"
The words struck Ye Wanhua speechless.
Her daughter was finally willing to call her that.
But, fearing her own excessive excitent might affect Tang Xiaowan, she casually replied, "Rember to apply a face mask after eating the bird’s nest."
That seed more natural, avoiding awkwardness, in case her daughter beca shy and stopped calling her again.
"Ok, got it, goodnight."
Watching her daughter’s retreating figure, Ye Wanhua was overco with joy, tears of excitent streaming down her face.
Why the sudden change of address?
It must be ’Mom’, or else... it’s ’Dad’, or perhaps Ah Jun. He was right after all...
No, it’s not that, Tangtang has co to realize.
In the bedroom, Tang i nodded contentedly and did not disturb them, but picked up her mobile phone and issued a new command to Uncle Quan.
"Direct flight to Country Y, no need to detour."
A few minutes later, when Wang Jinhui had finished eting his guests and returned to the bedroom from the study, Tang i told him about Tang Xiaowan calling Ye Wanhua mom just now.
Wang Jinhui was equally astonished.
He had thought they would have to wait at least until Leng Lingxiao ca to Nanfeng Mansion to pick up the bride.
...
anwhile, at the Jincheng Wuyou Pavilion:
"Honey, hasn’t Zishen already agreed to let us leave? Why do we need to sneak out in the middle of the night..."
"This is only temporary; how could he possibly forgive ? Hurry up, pack quickly; take all the valuables, once we’re abroad, we’ll be safe."
Upon hearing this, Second Aunt Lai stopped chattering and quickly dumped the jewelry into a rolling suitcase.
"Check the docunts."
"I’ve got them, got them all."
"And that briefcase, it has all the real estate docunts and other things I’ve arranged abroad..."
"Honey, you really are far-sighted."
"Let’s keep the kids out of this for now, we’ll take it one step at a ti, and see how things go once we get there..."
"But hasn’t it all blown up on the internet?"
"Don’t worry about that, they’re talking about... my sister-in-law’s issue. Rember to keep quiet, don’t spread rumors."
"Don’t worry, I... I know what to keep to myself."
The couple stayed busy until eleven at night before they managed to sort the easily transportable valuables into four rolling suitcases.
The difficult-to-carry items were all locked in the safe.
Unlike typical safes, his was specially ordered a few years ago, its size comparable to a walk-in closet.
"It’s about ti, let’s go." Li Wanshan glanced at his watch and pulled two of the suitcases.
Second Aunt Lai nodded and followed closely behind him.
Downstairs, there was already a car waiting; Li Wanshan could no longer trust the people from his company because of his assistant’s betrayal, but fortunately, the butler and the driver remained loyal.
During the journey, Second Aunt Lai was nervously clutching her handbag.
Whenever a car ca too close to them, she would instinctively look towards her husband, fearing that Li Zishen had changed his mind and was coming to intercept them.
Li Wanshan gently patted his wife’s slightly trembling hand, trying to get her to relax.
"Don’t worry, everything’s been arranged."
"It’s just that I still feel uneasy, especially in the middle of the night; what if soone suddenly shows up..." Second Aunt Lai quickly covered her mouth after speaking halfway.
"It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have rushed you."
"How could it be your fault? I’m the one who always worries unnecessarily. Things will improve once we leave here."
Li Wanshan nodded in agreent.
In reality, he was even more nervous and afraid of being caught than Second Aunt Lai, otherwise he would not have instructed the driver to feign a detour before daring to head towards their destination.
Half an hour later, the four of them boarded a helicopter that had been arranged to be near Jinyuan Mountain.
Looking at the rolling suitcases being carried by the butler and his others, Second Aunt Lai felt an imnse sense of security, and a smile finally appeared on her previously gloomy face.
"My goodness, we’re finally leaving!"
"Yes, we’re safe now, try to get so sleep." Li Wanshan smiled as he covered his wife with a blanket.
"I rember there’s a fireplace there."
"Honey, we might go through a dull period, it won’t be lively like before, and we won’t have many friends; when the ti cos..."
"That’s fine, we can play mahjong."
After saying this, Second Aunt Lai closed her eyes, imagining their future life.
As long as they were alive, everything else seed trivial.
