Chapter 719: Sending People Away
When Li Xuelan heard Uncle Fu's words, her face twisted with anger.
"What!"
Li Xuelan gritted her teeth and asked angrily, "I can't live here? Why can't I live here?"
Uncle Fu said politely, "Because this is the master's house, and since he's not here, I'm afraid he won't be happy if your family moves in and he wakes up. You know, we servants live by the master's approval. If the master gets angry, my retirement is at risk."
Li Xuelan: "..."
Uncle Fu spoke with great helplessness, as if he was a long-suffering old servant, and Li Xuelan was a domineering and unreasonable old lady.
He Yunlai again took on the role of peacemaker, trying to smooth things over.
"Forget it, we won't stay here anymore. Staying at a hotel is fine. With Big Brother not at home, if the four of us move in and cause any damage, it would be bad if it upset him. We're family; harmony brings prosperity."
He Sen also advised, "Let's stay at a hotel."
Staying at a hotel would allow him to do what he wants; living here, under so many watchful eyes, makes it inconvenient.
He Jingjing nodded, "Let's stay at a hotel."
At this moment, Uncle Fu spoke again, "Miss, I don't mean for you to stay at a hotel; guests are always welcome. This villa can't accommodate you, but you can stay in other villas nearby. I've already cleaned the villa on the east side, and it's fully equipped with daily necessities."
Li Xuelan: "I won't stay here; lest I damage anything, Ah Fu won't be able to explain it to my brother!"
Uncle Fu smiled cheerfully and said nothing.
No matter what Li Xuelan and the others said, Uncle Fu did not get angry.
At this point, Li Tianyi spoke up.
"Aunt, why not stay with us? Our house is quite spacious. We haven't seen each other for a long time, and I'm not familiar with Jing City, so we can explore it together."
Mei Tian Sha Zi frowned, unable to comprehend Li Tianyi's actions.
Even though she didn't understand, she chose not to ask directly but remained silent.
Li Xuelan glanced at Uncle Fu and then at Li Tianyi before deciding to stay at Li Tianyi's house for a couple of days, while she sorted out her housing situation before moving.
So, Li Xuelan's family followed Li Tianyi away.
...
Li Yehan and Nan Qiao did not leave; they remained at Old Mr. Li's house.
After hearing Uncle Fu recount the events, Li Yehan and Nan Qiao exchanged a look.
They were also surprised that Li Tianyi would voluntarily invite Li Xuelan to stay at his home.
Nan Qiao pondered and said, "Uncle Fu, keep us informed if anything comes up. For now, it's best not to let Auntie stay at our house."
Li Yehan: "I agree with Qiaoqiao's suggestion."
Uncle Fu: "I agree too; since we don't know the details yet, it's better to act cautiously."
Uncle Fu sat on the sofa, looking less spirited than before.
Nan Qiao took a bottle of medicine from her bag and placed it on the table in front of Uncle Fu.
"Uncle Fu, take one pill a day, just like Grandpa does, to help you recuperate."
Uncle Fu knew how precious the medicine was and dared not accept it, shaking his head repeatedly.
"Miss Nan Qiao, I can't accept this. How could you give me such valuable medicine? You should keep it for when the master wakes up to nurse him back to health. I'm an old man; I think I'll refrain."
"Uncle Fu, since Qiaoqiao is giving them to you, just take them," Li Yehan said.
Uncle Fu always replied promptly to Li Yehan's words and followed his advice and orders.
Nan Qiao smiled and said, "Uncle Fu, take it. When Grandpa wakes up, you'll still need to take care of him. If Grandpa wakes up and your health fails, who will care for him? Can you trust someone else to do it?"
With Nan Qiao's persuasion, Uncle Fu had no choice but to comply and accept the medicine.
"Thank you, Miss Nan Qiao. Thank you, Young Mr. Ye Han." He vowed to take good care of the family!
This family mustn't fall apart!
No one will tear it apart!
...
Mei Tian Sha Zi was sitting in the bedroom. Hearing the door open, she looked up and walked towards Li Tianyi.
Mei Tian Sha Zi held back her anger and asked, "Why would you let Li Xuelan stay at our house? Do you know how much trouble that will bring us?"
Li Tianyi took Mei Tian Sha Zi's arm, pulling her into the room to speak, deliberately lowering his voice, "Calm down first; having Aunt stay with us might be advantageous. Now she's isolated, just as we are in the Li Family. If we join forces, won't our chances of success be greater?"
Mei Tian Sha Zi sat in the chair, feeling an overwhelming sense of discomfort.
"In the Dao Country, our lives went smoothly, and we did as we pleased. But now, we have to act timidly and be at others' mercy. Li Tianyi, you didn't tell me I'd live this way before returning."
"Mei Tian Sha Zi, you're not young. Can't you be a bit more mature? In the adult world, nothing is easy! It's only easy for three-year-olds!"
Mei Tian Sha Zi: "..."
The gentleman-like Li Tianyi started showing anger as if he were a changed person.
Mei Tian Sha Zi couldn't imagine that Li Tianyi had changed.
Interests can cloud people's hearts!
"If you can't handle life here, then go back to the Dao Country. There's a project missing a leader and some issues arose; you can go resolve them there."
"Are you driving me away?" Mei Tian Sha Zi asked in disbelief.
"I'm not trying to drive you away; it's just that you can't adapt to life in the Li Family. If you can't, then go back for now, rather than staying here upset."
Mei Tian Sha Zi had a look of disbelief; in the past, they wouldn't argue over trivial matters.
Li Tianyi cooled down for a moment and said, "We've reached a critical moment; should we really give up? After we resolve the Li Family matters, I'll go back to Dao Country with you and never return to Hua Country again, okay?"
Mei Tian Sha Zi met Li Tianyi's eyes and gradually calmed down, nodding gently.
...
School.
Nan Qiao was discussing the Quan Neng Society issues with Chen Man, who was worried.
"Right now, we only have Du Qianqian and Lin Mo as members. Everyone else joined the Celebrities Association and isn't coming to our society. Li Ning has amazing appeal, and our strict requirements deter many. If this continues, we really won't be able to recruit members."
Without recruits, how will we attend competitions in the future?
Nan Qiao closed the documents and gently comforted her, "There's still time; don't worry yet."
"Qiaoqiao, I'm genuinely anxious. I heard there's a competition at the end of the month, a piano competition. We've yet to find anyone who can play, while Li Ning's side is already prepared and just waiting for the event!"
If Li Ning gets the ranking first, what do we do?
As Chen Man worried, someone entered without knocking, leaning against the doorway with an intriguing look at Nan Qiao.
