Chapter 283: First Madam Teaches Qi Lingxuan
First Master waited for Mr. Tan to leave before calling Qi Lingxuan back. He criticized unhappily, “In the future, when you make this kind of mess, clean it up! Tan Yuanbo is a senior in the Qi Corp. He’s the one managing the company here. If he leaves because of this, do you know how much it will cost us?”
Qi Lingxuan lowered his eyes and looked like he had done something wrong, but he was sneering in his heart.
That woman drugged him and wanted to sleep with him. What else was he supposed to do?
On the surface, he said, “Father, I know I was wrong.”
This was what First Master liked about his son. He was obedient and never refuted him.
This calmed down the anger in his heart and his tone became gentler. “Next time you are in this kind of situation, call me.”
“Got it. I will keep that in mind.”
“Very good.”
Satisfied, First Master asked about something else, obviously not taking the father and daughter of the Tan family seriously. “Have you found out who sent the assassins to assassinate us?”
Qi Lingxuan’s eyes flickered and he looked hesitant.
First Master, “Speak!”
“It’s Mother’s family.”
First Master asked Qi Lingxuan to call First Madam mother. Although Qi Lingxuan felt that calling that woman mother was disgusting, in front of First Master, he managed to put on an act.
Hearing that it was them, First Master’s face darkened. He then took out his phone and called First Madam.
When First Madam picked up the call, he shouted at her.
Qi Lingxuan listened as the two of them cursed at each other over the phone.
Many times, he wondered how his mother fell in love with this man. Was it because he was rich and had a handsome face when he was young?
First Madam was very happy to receive First Master’s call, thinking that he finally remembered to call her.
However, the moment she picked up the call, First Master started scolding her, instantly ruining her good mood. She did not stand on ceremony and started scolding him fiercely, refusing to admit that the killer was sent by her family.
The two of them argued for half an hour before it ended. First Madam was so angry that her chest heaved and she almost couldn’t breathe.
Qi Bailing quickly comforted her.
When she was out of breath, she gritted her teeth and said with a livid face, “Are those assassins all useless? They can’t even deal with a bastard!”
Qi Bailing made a guess, “Is that bastard also from an assassin?”
She had always felt that Qi Lingxuan was definitely not as simple as he looked.
“Maybe he’s from some kind of cult.”
Otherwise, why would he have that kind of medicine that could heal wounds quickly, and why none of the killers they hired could hurt him?
Hearing that, First Madam thought that it was very likely and finally calmed down.
“You’re right. The little bastard is probably from a cult. Ordinary assassins won’t be able to hurt him.”
“Then what should we do? Now that he has father’s trust, what if father gives him all the good projects?”
“Humph! He’s just a little bastard. No matter how much your father likes him, your grandfather won’t let him get on the top of your brothers.” First Madam thought for a moment and said, “I’ll go find your grandfather later and tell him about it.”
“But…” Qi Bailing wanted to say that her grandfather told her not to disturb him, but she stopped herself.
His mother was right. As long as his grandfather said something, no matter how much his father liked that bastard, that bastard would not be able to gain too much power.
Before First Madam could go look for the old man, she suddenly received a call from Mrs. Tan.
At the end of every year, the Qi family would have a very grand annual party. At that time, the managers of every province would bring their wives and children to attend. That was why Mrs. Tang knew First Madam.
Mrs. Tan wailed on the phone. “Wenjing’s reputation is ruined because of what happened last night. We’ve checked.Young Master Lingxuan was drugged by someone else, and Wenjing just drank it by mistake. Now that it turned out like this, Wenjing doesn’t want to live anymore. I don’t want to live either. Boohoo…”
After hearing what Mrs. Tan said, an idea suddenly popped up in First Madam’s mind. She said in the tone of a rich lady, “Lingxuan is indeed in the wrong. I’ve seen Wenjing before. She’s a very bright girl and I like her a lot. How about this? Ask her if she wants to marry Lingxuan.”
First Madam wanted to control Wenjing after she married Qi Lingxuan and used her to manipulate him.
Mrs. Tan wanted Qi Lingxuan to marry Tan Wenjing, so she immediately said, “Yes, of course. She will be willing to marry Young Master Lingxuan.”
First Madam smiled. “In that case, do as I say.”
“Alright, alright.”
…
The day ended quickly.
The next morning, Tang Li and Qi Yihan left for Changbai Mountain.
On the day they left, the experts and masters from the Imperial Capital rushed to the Seven Stars Tomb in S Province.
At the same time, Qi Lingxuan started to secretly look for the Nine-headed Eagle Bronze Artifact.
When Tang Li and the others arrived at Changbai Mountain, it was already a few days later.
The car drove to a town at the foot of the mountain that had been developed into a town because of tourism and ginseng plantations. Unexpectedly, a family in the town was having a funeral. Almost everyone in the town was moving about, so their car was stopped outside, unable to move in.
Looking at the people in mourning clothes, Tang Li was a little surprised. “Is everyone in this town from the same family? Why are they all wearing mourning clothes?”
Qi Yihan actually knew. “That’s right. They all go by the same surname. It’s the territory of a large family. If a respectable old man passes away in the town, the entire town will be mourning.”
“Then, can we find a place to stay in town tonight?” Tang Li was more concerned about this. For the past few days, she had been staying in the RV every day. Although the RV was similar to the hotel room, she still wanted to sleep on a soft bed.
“Don’t worry, I got someone to rent a courtyard in advance.”
When Tang Li heard this, she suddenly felt that bringing her husband out was a must-have for traveling. He had prepared everything beforehand, so she did not have to worry about anything.
The two of them walked into the town.
There was a very large memorial arch in the town. People and cars passed through the memorial arch.
Tang Li looked at the memorial arch for a while and suddenly frowned.
Then she looked into the town.
It was noon at this time, and the sun was shining brightly in the sky. People were shuttling back and forth on the streets, and everyone was dressed in mourning clothes. Looking at them, it was a little scary, as if many people had died in this town.
Qi Yihan noticed Tang Li’s expression and asked, “Is there a problem?”
