Chapter 207 His Heart Skipped A Beat
Tang Li did not stand on ceremony. She took the copper plate from Fu Junye and slipped it into her pocket. At the same time, she gave him a piece of talisman. “Take this talisman with you. When you’re in danger, I’ll show
up.”
“Thank you, Miss Tang.” Fu Junye quickly took the talisman with both hands and folded it carefully.
The two of them then returned to the car.
At that moment, Su Ziqing got out of the car and stood beside Xiang Wanwan.
Looking at Tang Li, she said, “Cousin, I’ll go with Wanwan and her brother.”
Since they were going the same way, Tang Li nodded. “Alright.”
Su Ziqing walked up to Tang Li and asked after a moment of hesitation, “Cousin, I heard from Zitong that the Qi family is holding a banquet in a few days. Can I attend it too?”
Then, she added, “Those who can attend the Qi family’s banquet must be from famous families in the Imperial Capital. I have to find a boyfriend.”
When Tang Li heard this, she could not help but smile. She said, “Sure, I’ll tell you when we confirm the date.”
“Great. I’ll take good care of my skin for the next few days. When the time comes, I definitely won’t embarrass you.”
“Okay.” After saying that, Tang Li left first. It was only eight o’clock. Tang Li first found a remote place and let the two Kylins try to breathe fire. Then, she went to see Mr. Situ.
Mr. Situ lived in the old district, only a river away from the Tang family’s workshop.
On one side of the river was a variety of workshops, and on the other side was an old residential area. These old houses were all built with a courtyard. After walking in, Tang Li felt like she had traveled to the previous era.
Although this place was filled with old houses, the property prices were not lower than those in the center of Imperial Capital.
Cars weren’t allowed in the neighborhood, so Tang Li had to get out of the car and walk in on foot.
As soon as Tang Li got out of the car, she saw a young man standing there attentively. When he saw Tang Li, he immediately walked over.
“Miss Tang, hello. I’m Situ Yang. My grandfather and the others have been waiting for you for a long time.”
After Tang Li got out of the car, she followed him into the neighborhood.
There were Chinese parasol trees planted on both sides of the neighborhood. Every Chinese parasol tree was very large and obviously very old.
It just so happened that it was the season for Chinese parasol trees to bloom. The rich fragrance of flowers wafted everywhere. Coupled with the old street lamps that were specially designed, the whole vibe gave people a sense of peace and tranquility.
On the way, Situ Yang obviously had something to ask. He peeked at Tang Li several times, and his lips moved several times, but he did not say anything.
After the two of them walked for a couple minutes, Tang Li finally said, “You can speak your mind.”
He pursed his lips tightly and finally asked, “Miss Tang, what method did you use to make my grandfather recover so quickly after such a major surgery?”
His grandfather had instructed everyone to make an apology to Doctor Hou and ask him when Tang Li was available. Situ Yang was really curious. With his grandfather’s reputation, if he wanted to meet Tang Li, why couldn’t he just call her? Why did he have to especially ask if Tang Li had time. What did Tang Li do to deserve such special treatment from his grandfather?
Tang Li glanced at Situ Yang and knew what was going on in his mind, but she smiled and said nothing.
However, this glance from Tang Li almost made Situ Yang stop breathing. When he realized that he couldn’t take his eyes off of Tang Li, he blushed and quickly looked away. He kept reminding himself that Miss Tang was married! Miss Tang was married!
The two of them didn’t speak along the way. After walking for nearly ten minutes, they finally arrived at the Situ Residence.
The door opened and a few young people stood there to welcome her.
“Miss Tang, hello. Our grandfather is waiting for you in the living room. Please come in.”
Tang Li followed them in.
The courtyard house was surrounded by four separate houses. The courtyard was very large, and there were many potted plants, flowers, and a few crabapple trees in every corner.
Few days ago, they were very rude to Tang Li. Now that she suddenly came, everyone felt a little awkward and did not know what to say to her. Coupled with the fact that their grandfather did not instruct them to say anything, they decided not to show her the way in silence.
When Tang Li got to the living room, the old man sitting on the recliner quickly got his son to help him up. “Miss Tang, welcome. Please sit! Please sit!”
Tang Li walked over and sat down. She asked, “How is Mr. Situ doing lately?”
“Thank you for saving me that day, Miss Tang. My body is recovering day by day, but…” At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing,” During this period of time, I’ve been dreaming about someone trying to pull me into a place. That place is covered in black mist, and there are all kinds of jumping musical notes in the mist. Those notes chased after me, making me afraid to really sleep.”
Tang Li nodded and turned to look at their living room. She asked, “Mr. Situ, do you mind if I look around your house?”
“I don’t mind, I don’t mind.” Situ Mo quickly said to his eldest son, “Huairen, show Miss Tang around the house. Take her wherever she wants to go.”
The juniors did not know about Situ Mo’s condition, but as his son, he knew. He quickly stood up and gestured for Tang Li to follow along. “Miss Tang, please.”
Tang Li stood up and walked with him to the other rooms.
There were rooms for the servants who took care of Situ Mo. Other than the bedroom, there was also a study room and a studio.
The two of them walked around and finally reached Situ Mo’s studio.
As a famous musician in the Imperial Capital, Mr. Situ not only knew how to write and compose, but he was also skilled in many instruments.
Hence, his studio was especially large. Inside were the music scores he had written over the decades as well as various instruments.
Tang Li looked around casually in the studio.
Situ Huairen did not know what she wanted to do, nor did he dare to speak.
After Tang Li finished looking around, her gaze fell on a large pile of papers that were obviously abandoned.
When Situ Huairen saw her gaze, he said to her, “Those are all musical scores that Father abandoned. Father couldn’t bring himself to throw them away, so he just left them all there.”
Tang Li walked over and looked at the pile for a while. She pulled out a sheet of music and rolled it up. “We can go out now.”
Situ Huairen was a little surprised, but he didn’t ask anything.
When Tang Li took the sheet of paper and walked out, Situ Huairen, who was following behind her, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly realized that the paper in Tang Li’s hand was floating with a black aura. He widened his eyes in shock and said in fear, “Miss Tang, the paper in your hand…!”
