The producer took his leave.
Shortly after, Yu Tang arrived with Si Fuqing, knocking on the door cautiously. Upon hearing a “e in,” Yu Tang pushed the door open, “Uncle LI, I’ve brought a friend to see you.”
“It’s Tangtang, huh?” LI Yuzhi was momentarily taken aback, a slight smile emerging on his pale face. “You’re about to start university, right?”
“Yes.” Yu Tang placed a fruit basket down. “Military training starts in ten days.”
“That’s wonderful. You’re eighteen now,” LI Yuzhi murmured, suddenly as if reminded of something, the man in his forties covered his face, his voice choked, “If… if he were still here…”
...
Yu Tang also felt very sad.
If LI Yuzhi’s son were still around, he would probably have graduated from university by now.
“I’m sorry, I got carried away,” LI Yuzhi took a deep breath, his gaze then settling on Si Fuqing, “And you are?”
With Yuejian’s makeup skills, LI Yuzhi didn’t recognize Si Fuqing at first. “Hello, Uncle LI,” Si Fuqing greeted, “You must have seen the final cut by now.”
LI Yuzhi gasped in surprise, his voice cracked, “You’re… the girl from the movie?!”
“Yes, Uncle LI, please don’t be upset, ” Si Fuqing said softly, “Once ‘Seeking the Lost’ is released and its influence spreads, maybe we’ll find him.”
“Yes, I’ve been thinking the same,” LI Yuzhi gave a faint smile, “But I don’t have much hope.”
Indeed, the LI family held significant sway in Sijiu and was powerful in Great Xia.
But on the international stage, the LI family was far from sufficient.
Having not found him for so many years, LI Yuzhi had wondered if his son had been taken abroad.
That would truly be like finding a needle in a haystack.
He had sought help from T18 and Zero, but because twenty years had passed and all traces had vanished, they still hadn’t found him.
By now, LI Yuzhi had nearly given up hope.
The producer approached him to make “Seeking the Lost”, his intention was in hopes of helping other families.
If he had been more cautious back then, perhaps his child wouldn’t have been lost.
But there were no ifs in life.
“It’s alright, I’ve lived like this for many years,” LI Yuzhi shook his head, “Have you had dinner? If not, let’s eat together later.”
“Sure,” Yu Tang raised her hand, “Then I’ll call Uncle Nine over too.”
LI Yuzhi was surprised with joy, “Shiyan is back?”
“He came back with Qingqing,” Yu Xiheng messaged Yu Xiheng, “Uncle LI, don’t worry, with Fuqing here, she’ll definitely help you find your child.”
Twenty minutes later.
Feng San wheeled Yu Xiheng in.
He looked up, greeting with a slight smile, “Yuzhi.”
“Shiyan!” LI Yuzhi quickly approached, “How’s your leg recently? Any better?”
“Much better,” Yu Xiheng’s voice was cool, “I’ve also had people looking for your matter.”
“Ah, you yourself…” LI Yuzhi bit his lip, “Shiyan, you must take care of yourself first.”
The situation at the Yu family was more perilous than the LI family’s.
Once the elder Yu passed, the struggle for power would begin immediately.
LI Yuzhi feared Yu Xiheng would be left without support and expelled from the Yu family.
Yu Xiheng affirmed, “I will.”
“I’ll call the chef from Heaven Flower Court,” LI Yuzhi stood up, his smile widening, “It’s rare for you to visit, Shiyan. Let’s invite Xingjun over too, and have a gathering.”
LI Yuzhi was pletely unaware that Yu Xiheng had chosen to sit next to Si
Fuqing.
Yu Xiheng nodded slightly.
Rolling up his sleeves, he turned to Si Fuqing, “No engagements tomorrow, what would you like to eat?”
“Hot pot!” Si Fuqing propped her chin, her fox-like eyes lighting up, “Peking duck works too. I have a high metabolism; I can eat anything.” Yu Tang counted on her fingers, “Let me see what I have tomorrow—”
Yu Xiheng gave her a glance, serene and emotionless.
Yu Tang abruptly realized the date, her voice trailing off.
Tomorrow was Qixi Festival!
Stammering, Yu Tang said, “Ah, I have a… classmate wanting to hangout, we’re having a gathering, so I won’t disturb you.”
“Uncle Nine, for my safety, please assign Feng San as my bodyguard. What if something happens while I’m out alone?”
Yu Xiheng simply responded, his words ever so precious, “Mhmm.”
“Qingqing, now that you’re gaining popularity, you must disguise well, ” Yu Tang said reluctantly, “Especially with my Uncle Nine; his face really stands out.”
Si Fuqing sighed, “Walking with the boss, I’m indeed afraid of being photographed..”
