Li Zhiqian stared at Xia Yangyang, who was lost in thought, and asked,
"Xiao Qi, why aren’t you eating? What are you thinking about?"
Xia Yangyang quickly ca back to her senses.
Xia Yangyang shook her head, "It’s nothing, I just rembered how lively it used to be when everyone was eating together. Now, it’s just the two of us."
Li Zhiqian, having heard this, also sighed deeply, "It’s okay to say such things in front of , but don’t say them in front of godfather. He has suffered a great deal this ti. If he heard this, it would undoubtedly be like rubbing salt into his wounds."
Xia Yangyang nodded, "Elder brother, I understand the limits."
Li Zhiqian seed to have lost his appetite as well, "I didn’t expect things to end up like this today. It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t been drunk that day, if I had been stricter with the security beforehand, perhaps such things wouldn’t have happened. Even now, I feel that the death of our eldest brother and those uncles, it’s all because of ."
Li Zhiqian seed quite distressed.
Xia Yangyang consoled, "Elder brother, you mustn’t think like that. These things were unforeseeable by anyone. You have already done a lot. Godfather blas himself for everything, and you bla yourself too, but it really isn’t your fault. Elder brother, the dead do not suffer, but the living face too much. You are now the pillar of Culture Hall; you absolutely must not think in such a way."
Li Zhiqian looked up and saw Xia Yangyang’s sincere expression, "Have you not heard so rumors outside?"
Xia Yangyang looked puzzled, "What rumors?"
"So people are saying that I committed fratricide and patricide to take over the top position at Culture Hall."
Xia Yangyang first looked shocked, then filled with righteous indignation, "Who on earth is spreading such nasty rumors? They clearly want to fra you, elder brother. I know you best, and I absolutely will not believe the gossip from outside."
Li Zhiqian seed comforted and cracked a smile, "Xiao Qi, you’re truly the best."
Li Zhiqian stood up, "I’m not very hungry; I don’t want to eat anymore. You eat more; I’m going to check on your third sister."
Xia Yangyang nodded.
After saying this, Li Zhiqian left.
After Li Zhiqian left, Xia Yangyang’s expression gradually eased, eventually becoming expressionless.
Xia Yangyang’s heart was beating very fast.
Xia Yangyang was very clear, whether Li Zhiqian was related to these matters or not.
Li Zhiqian’s words just now were clearly a test.
Testing her loyalty.
She was sowhat glad that she had been an actor for a while.
Who would have thought that it would co in handy after a few years?
Yet, Xia Yangyang still felt a chill running through her heart.
Whether Li Zhiqian was involved in this matter or not, she had to investigate.
And she needed to know the truth as soon as possible.
With Phoenix and godfather in such a place, Xia Yangyang always felt as if her heart was hanging.
In the evening, Xia Yangyang settled down.
She planned to stay there for a couple of days.
Xia Yangyang lay in bed and couldn’t fall asleep.
Li Zhiqian hadn’t left either today.
Xia Yangyang privately asked Uncle Bai.
Uncle Bai said Li Zhiqian would co back every three days and stay for one or two nights before leaving.
Inside the villa, Li Zhiqian spent almost all his ti with Phoenix.
Phoenix didn’t speak, but he stayed by her side.
Sotis, he would also handle official business nearby, but he had to ensure Phoenix was within his line of sight.
