Chapter 478 The Mad Aunt Xiao
Amidst the noise and commotion, I completely relaxed.
For the next two days, apart from the welcoming banquet hosted by Master Liu, I didn't go anywhere else, and focused on taking care of Long Nier's health.
In order to kill that giant python, Long Nier's vital essence was greatly depleted.
After resting for two days, Third Master's invitation arrived.
At 5 p.m., the three of us, along with Xiao Ba, headed to the Deli Club.
We can understand postponing the meeting by a day, but I'm a little puzzled that Third Master chose to meet at the Deli Club.
In our previous call, we said we'd go to his home and that we'd take Xiaobao's pulse, but now the meeting place has been changed to the club.
"Thirteenth Brother, Fatty Brother, Sister Nini!"
Half an hour later, when we arrived at the Deli Club and entered the private room, Li Li came to greet us with a bouncy and lively manner.
"Little Tanuki?"
I was a little surprised to see Li Li here.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy to see me?"
Li Li hugged Long Nier's arm and winked playfully.
"Happy? How could I not be happy!" I said with a smile.
"Little Li said she missed you all, and since you were coming over anyway, I made a little surprise for you!" Third Master said.
"How is it, Thirteenth Brother? Isn't Third Master's arrangement quite good?"
As Li Li spoke, she pulled us to the table, dragged out chairs for us, and attentively arranged our seats.
It was clear that Li Li was very happy; more importantly, she treated us like the lady of the house.
Third Master did this to try and salvage our relationship.
Going deeper, he wanted to use Li Li to entangle us, and even threaten us.
This trip to Northeast China, especially the successful discovery of gold, has been a great success for us.
In the two days prior, we received numerous phone calls, subtly and overtly trying to get the three of us to work for them. In the end, Li Donglin stepped in, made a few phone calls, and resolved the trouble for us.
Third Master is starting to regret it!
"Third Master, we miss Xiao Li too!"
As I was pondering Third Master's intentions, Fatty Lin smoothed things over for me.
"Fatty, you have no idea, if I hadn't been so busy lately, I would have gone to Hong Kong to find you guys a long time ago!" After arranging our seats, Li Li returned to sit next to Third Master and affectionately straightened his clothes.
Seeing Li Li like this, I knew we were doomed. Whether it was due to magic or something else, Li Li was completely trapped.
Because of this, I couldn't taste anything during the meal.
On the contrary, Fatty Lin ate and drank heartily, completely unaffected.
Three hours later, while we were singing our hearts out, my phone rang.
I took out my phone and glanced at it; it was Xiao Jinyu.
I glanced at Third Master and Li Li, who was holding a microphone and singing a duet with Long Nier, then went out to answer the phone.
"Thirteen, are you with Third Master?"
After I answered the phone, Aunt Xiao started questioning me before I could even speak.
"yes!"
I glanced back at the door; I wasn't lying.
I know Xiao Jinyu's character well. Since she asked this question, she must have definite information that we are with Third Master. If I lied, she would definitely go crazy.
"Why didn't you call me?" Xiao Jinyu asked sternly.
"Sister Yu, we were originally going to visit Third Master at his home. I even said I wanted to take Xiao Bao's pulse, but Third Master changed the meeting place to the club at the last minute!" I said, feigning grievance.
After he finished speaking, I heard a series of rapid, labored breaths.
"Sister Yu, do you and Third Master have some kind of conflict? I mentioned you at the dinner party today, and Third Master seemed a little unhappy and told me not to mention you again!" I added fuel to the fire, and told a little white lie.
"yes!"
After about two seconds, Aunt Xiao gave an affirmative answer.
"Sister Yu, what happened between you and Third Master? Do you need us to mediate?" I asked deliberately.
"Thirteen, thank you, but it's no use. Third Master won't forgive me anytime soon!" Aunt Xiao said weakly.
"Sister Yu, please forgive me for the sake of the Buddha, even if you don't care about the monk. With Xiao Bao around, Third Master will definitely forgive you!" I said.
"If it weren't for Xiao Bao, Third Master wouldn't want me anymore!" Aunt Xiao suddenly burst into tears.
"Sister Yu, don't cry, what's wrong?" I asked.
"It's all that bitch Gong Ziyi's fault!"
Aunt Xiao replied in a shrill voice.
"Isn't that all in the past?" I was a little surprised.
I know about this. Aunt Xiao introduced Gong Ziyi to Yu Ruixiang at the Bazaar Charity Gala. That night, Yu Ruixiang gave a gift to everyone present.
It can be said that Yu Ruixiang is quite good at interpersonal relationships.
Later, Gong Ziyi got into Yu Ruixiang's car.
Not long after, the two were rumored to be having an affair.
Yu Ruixiang was quite generous to Gong Ziyi, giving away tens or even hundreds of millions of yuan worth of jewelry without hesitation.
It was because of this generosity that Yu Ruixiang's wife came to his door.
Instead of confronting Gong Ziyi, his wife went directly to Xiao Jinyu, slapped her, and scolded her for being low-class and only good at pimping.
Xiao Jinyu was furious and went to Third Master to complain, but instead of receiving comfort, she was scolded by him.
Because of this, we realized that Yu Ruixiang's success today was due to his wife's family.
His wife's family belonged to the butler's family.
As for whose steward family it is, unfortunately, it's the Third Master's family.
The housekeeper started making a scene, or rather, he became unstable; it wasn't a joke.
We understand why Third Master was furious and reprimanded Concubine Xiao.
I thought the matter would be over soon, but I didn't expect that so much time has passed and Third Master still hasn't paid any attention to Concubine Xiao. Concubine Xiao has been in this cold palace for quite a while!
"There is no past at all!"
Aunt Xiao called out.
Perhaps she had shouted too loudly, for Aunt Xiao gasped for breath afterward and said, "This matter cannot be left like this. I will make Gong Ziyi pay the price, I will!"
Aunt Xiao gritted her teeth, and because she did so with so much force, I heard a crunching sound from her teeth.
"This hatred runs deep!" I muttered to myself.
Knowing Aunt Xiao's character, she will definitely retaliate if she says she will. Gong Ziyi is in trouble.
"Sister Yu, calm down. You must think carefully before you act!" I advised.
"I can't calm down!" Aunt Xiao shouted back.
"Sister Yu, how about this, we'll come find you after we finish singing. Your voice sounds a bit off, I'll give you a couple of acupuncture needles to help you recover!" I reassured her.
"Okay, I'll wait for you!" Aunt Xiao replied after a moment of silence.
"Okay, Sister Yu, I'll hang up now!" I said.
"Hang up!" Aunt Xiao replied with two words and hung up the phone.
Looking at the phone that had been hung up, I made up my mind.
Having learned from the previous experience of Li Li being beaten by Aunt Xiao, Third Master protected Li Li very well this time. Aunt Xiao had no idea that Li Li and Third Master were together.
This is a good thing for Li Li.
Otherwise, given Aunt Xiao's personality, who knows what she might do.
