Chapter 400: Why Is He Hiding?

The moment Qi Yihan mentioned work, First Master’s expression darkened. He asked Qi Yihan with a straight face, “Aren’t you very good at finding people? Why haven’t you found Lingxuan yet?”

Qi Yihan said coldly, “If he really wants to hide, no one can find him.”

“Why is he hiding?”

“You can ask him about that.”

First Master was speechless again. Qi Yihan chased him away. “First Brother, if there’s nothing else, please leave. I have to work.”

First Master looked at Qi Yihan with a straight face. After confirming that Qi Yihan really didn’t care about what happened to Qi LIngxuan , he felt aggrieved. They were brothers, so shouldn’t he help?

Knowing that it was useless to flare up at him, First Master felt helpless. He finally said, somewhat pleadingly, “Fourth brother, can you send more people to look for Lingxuan? I have a few big projects that I can’t do without him. If he’s not around and something goes wrong with the project, the entire Qi Corporation will be affected.”

Qi Yihan narrowed his eyes and looked at his brother. He was not moved by his sudden resignation and only said, “I’ll send more people to look for him, but if anything goes wrong with the project in your hand, I’ll immediately take it back.”

First Master was silent for a while before nodding. Before he went out, he added, “Your sister-in-law has already gone crazy. I don’t have time to discipline Bailing. If Fourth Sister-in-law wants to discipline her, be my guest. But I hope Fourth Sister-in-law doesn’t punish Bailing deliberately because she doesn’t like her.”

Hearing that, Qi Yihan sneered. “First Brother only knows that Li doesn’t like Bailing, but you don’t know what Bailing is saying about Li behind her back… Although Li is younger than Bailing, she is an elder. Bailing challenged Li in front of so many people. If Li doesn’t punish her, do you think people will respect her?”

First Master didn’t know what to say.

Qi Yihan stopped looking at him and continued working.

First Master looked at him for a long while before turning to leave.

When the door was closed, Qi Yihan looked up with a cold gaze.

…

At the Qi Mansion.

The news of Tang Li punishing Qi Bailing quickly spread to all the family members, especially those who were badmouthing Tang Li behind her back. For a moment, no one dared to talk about her anymore.

Tang Li felt that she could finally relax.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Tan and Tan Wenjing brought some pastries to thank Tang Li.

This time, Tang Li did not see them.

Butler Zhang said, “Miss Tan, Madam asked me to tell you that you just need to be a good bride. You don’t have to try to curry favor with her.”

When Tan Wenjing and Mrs. Tan heard this, they walked back.

After the mother and daughter walked out of Fourth Master’s house, Tan Wenjing asked Mrs. Tan in a low voice with a worried expression, “Mom, why do you think Fourth Madam suddenly doesn’t want to see us?”

Mrs. Tan also looked worried. After thinking for a while, she said, “It’s possible that Fourth Madam thinks that we’re too eager to please her.”

“Then what should we do?” Tan Wenjing was a little lost.

Mrs. Tan thought for a moment. “Before you marry Hao, let’s not come to see her so often. After you marry Hao, we’ll figure out a way.”

Tan Wenjing nodded.

…

Tang Li was watching Qiqi and Linlin play on their tablets.

At this moment, Butler Zhang walked in and said to her, “Madam, Mrs. Tan and Miss Tan have left.”

Tang Li nodded.

Butler Zhang thought for a moment and said what was on his mind, “Madam, I think Miss Tan is too scheming. She just wants to rely on you. She must have deliberately instigated Fourth Miss to hit her today.”

Tang Li tilted her head to look at him and asked with a smile, “Butler Zhang, do you think Tan Wenjing is trying to suck up to me so that she can act like a boss in the Qi Mansion?”

Butler Zhang was embarrassed. That was what he thought.

At this moment, Qiqi, who was sitting at the side, said, “Uncle Zhang, don’t worry. Godmother knows everything. Sister Tan is up to no good, but she’s not as evil as First Madam. It’s fine to give her some power.”

Linlin immediately nodded in agreement. “That’s right. Besides, Sister Tan can actually help Godmother keep the rest of the family in check.”

Butler Zhang looked at the two little ones and felt that he failed to understand the situation better than the two kids.

After a few seconds of silence, he said, “Got it.”

Then, he added, “Madam, I’ll go back to work.”

Tang Li nodded and Butler Zhang left.

Butler Zhang went straight to Butler Yang and told him about this. Then, he asked, “Brother Yang, do you think I’ve failed in my duty? I don’t even know what Madam is thinking. I’m not even as good as the two babies.”

Butler Yang glanced at him and said without answering his question, “If you’re too free, go find something to do.”

Butler Zhang was shocked and frowned. “I’m not free.”

“If you’re not free, why do you have so much time to let your mind run wild?”

Butler Zhang didn’t know what to say.

“Don’t disturb me. I’m very busy.”

“…Alright, I’ll get busy too.”

…

Tang Li received a call from Tang Zitong at around three in the afternoon.

Tang Zitong said to her over the phone, “Fourth Sister, I took care of it.”

Tang Li asked, “Why did it take you so long?”

Tang Zitong said. “Other than Director Ning, Mo Chen, and Yang Xuelan, everyone in the film crew is against the idea of adding imperial instruments to the drama. Especially the investor of this drama, he said that as long as we add Imperial instruments to this drama, he will immediately withdraw his investment.”

“And then?” Tang Li knew that they could handle it.

“Then, Secretary Si came out, saying that if he withdrew his investment, Dreama Realization would immediately invest in this drama. This drama is extremely popular right now, so of course he won’t be so stupid as to withdraw his investment at this point. Secretary Si talked with him for two hours before persuading him.”

Tang Li did not expect that and said, “Looks like Secretary Si is indeed very capable.”

At this moment, Tang Zitong seemed to be walking on the street. She deliberately lowered her voice. “He’s good, but his tongue is too sharp. Fourth Sister, let me tell you something…”

Tang Zitong told Tang Li what Secretary Si said back at Dream Realization this morning.

When Tang Li heard that, the corners of her lips curled up. “It’s indeed a little too sharp.”

“Right?” Tang Zitong seemed to have found an ally and said to her, “Now I know why Secretary Si doesn’t have a girlfriend yet. It’s not because he’s too busy with work, but because his tongue is too sharp. No woman likes him. Fourth Sister, do you think such a person will be lonely forever?”

“Well… it’s hard to say.”
