Chapter 802 Find Another Place to Live
Mr. Li said in a deep voice: "Miss Ye, you still need to keep a thin line in your life."
Xia Ling sneered softly: "Leave a ray of light? When Su Tang was thinking about things she shouldn't be thinking about, did she ever think of leaving a ray of light for me?" For a woman, everything else is easy to talk about, except for things involving her sweetheart and children. Tolerate.
After a few words, Xia Ling got up and left since the two of them couldn't talk together.
After taking a few steps, she turned back and saw the old man sitting motionless by the sea of tea, looking at the scenery in the distance. The autumn wind was blowing his white hair, and his back was slightly stooped, making him look a bit bleak.
Xia Ling felt a little sour in her heart, remembering that back then, he was also very high-spirited.
"Are you so miserable now that you are older?" she couldn't help but ask.
The old man did not look back, "My fate is settled. As for that little brat, it is unknown whether he will live to this age." In the gang world, he lived a life of licking blood with the tip of a knife, so he was not lying.
Xia Ling was angry: "Bah, you can't curse your own grandson like this!"
"What a grandson," Mr. Li smiled coldly. "In the past, I always thought he was not ruthless enough, but in the end he was the most ruthless one." The tea cup in the cup clenched with his old and withered fingers was more than twenty years old. The past events of a year ago were turning over in his mind. He saw how the little boy lost his mother and how he was bullied by his brother. After he adopted the child, he watched the little boy grow up day by day and could ride a horse. He can fight and shoot... Whenever a child calls him grandpa with a smile, he feels that this life is enough.
But all this has now been broken.
The old man coughed in the wind.
Xia Ling looked at his back, hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "If Su Tang can keep her peace and not seduce Li Lei, I will not embarrass her or her children."
But, can Su Tang?
Almost impossible.
After Xia Ling said this, she turned around and really left this time.
Walking out of the Yangxin Garden, she faced the autumn wind outside and took a deep breath. The bodyguard guarding the door came up to her and escorted her towards the Leiming Courtyard.
Along the way, there are rustling bamboo leaves, green grass, and beautiful scenery.
She felt a little gloomy and heavy because of meeting the old man, but she felt better now, and she casually praised: "This road is really good."
The accompanying bodyguard said: "This is the most beautiful road in the Li family headquarters. The old man lived in Yangxin Garden for decades, and later he placed the Second Young Master's Lei Ming Yuan nearby. The relationship between the grandfather and grandson has always been very good."
As he said this, he realized that he had made a mistake and stopped talking.
Xia Ling didn't mind, and smiled bitterly: "Now, I'm afraid it's just embarrassing to live here."
The bodyguard didn't know how to answer the question and kept his head down.
The two walked for a while, and Xia Ling asked again: "Are the second young master and the old master the only two people living nearby?"
The bodyguard said: "Yes, the old man likes to be close to each other. Except for his favorite Second Young Master, no one else can live in this area. Only Miss Su Tang, because she has to take care of the Second Young Master nearby, the yard is built next to Leiming Courtyard."
After arriving at the headquarters for so many days, Xia Ling really didn't care where Su Tang lived. Hearing what the bodyguard said, he became interested and asked: "Which one is it? Take me to see it."
The bodyguard took her to turn in from a fork in the road, and walked along the bamboo forest for a while. The front suddenly opened up, and an exquisite courtyard was clearly visible. On the plaque in front of the door, the words "Tanghua Garden" were written in small seal script with elegant handwriting. There is a hint of feminine charm in it.
It can be seen that the owner of the yard has great taste.
Xia Ling discovered that this place was really not far from the Leiming Courtyard. Looking east from here, one could see the west wall of the Leiming Courtyard. The bodyguard said: "There is a small road between the two courtyards. Usually when Miss Su takes Young Master Rui to find the Second Young Master, she will take that shortcut."
Such intimacy.
This realization made Xia Ling feel very uncomfortable.
In front of the courtyard gate, squatting was a little boy. It was Li Rui who was playing.
When he saw Xia Ling, he picked up a stone on the ground and threw it over: "Bad woman! Get out of my house!"
Xia Ling did not dodge, watching coldly as the stone fell down a few steps away from her and rolled to her feet.
The courtyard door opened with a bang.
Su Tang, wearing a light cyan embroidered shirt, stood on the steps and looked at her.
Neither woman spoke. After a moment, Xia Ling turned around and walked away.
Returning to Leimingyuan, she immediately called for a servant: "Is there any unused house in the headquarters?"
The servant said: "Many houses are empty. I wonder what you want to do?"
Xia Ling said, "It's too boring to live in Leiming Courtyard. I plan to move somewhere."
The servant was startled: "Are you going to live separately from the second young master? The second young master will be unhappy."
Xia Ling smiled sweetly: "Who said we want to live separately? I want to move with him."
The servant was even more frightened: "Miss Ye, this Leiming Courtyard was the location set by the old man. The second young master has lived there since he was a child. Moving? Wouldn't it be inappropriate..."
"It's not up to you to decide whether it's appropriate or not." Xia Ling's tone was slightly cold. Nowadays, she is becoming more and more like a superior person, and the arrogance in her bones is also clearly revealed. She has her own ideas about what she wants to do and what she should not do, and she does not allow others to comment on her.
The servant had no choice but to lower his head and remain silent.
Xia Ling asked her to bring the map and she lay down at the table to study it all afternoon.
When Li Lei came back, he saw that her petite figure was almost buried in the table. He couldn't help but feel a little funny: "What are you looking at?" He took off his coat and walked to her side to watch together.
Xia Ling pointed on the map with her fair and slender fingers: "What do you think of this vacant house?"
"This vacant house?" Li Lei glanced casually, "It used to be lived by my third aunt's second uncle's godbrother's sister-in-law. Later, she died, and the house has been vacant."
"Died in the house?"
"Well, he died of illness."
Xia Ling's eyebrows frowned slightly.
Li Lei asked her: "What on earth are you going to do?"
"I want to move," Xia Ling said dullly, "Your place is too close to Tanghuayuan."
Li Lei was slightly startled, then smiled: "Are you jealous?"
"You live so close, do you still have any sense?!" Xia Ling got angry when he mentioned this, and glared at him fiercely. Her eyes were watery and her cheeks were so shiny that she looked extremely cute.
Li Lei smiled again and kissed her on the cheek: "Okay, if you say we'll move, we'll move."
"Is it that simple?" This time, Xia Ling was stunned. According to people's opinions, Li Lei was very affectionate to this yard, and his proposal to move would probably not be accepted.
Li Lei said, "If you are willing to move with me instead of driving Su Tang away, you are giving her face. Since you want to save some dignity for her for my sake, why can't I move according to your wishes?" ?”
