Chapter 455 · Direct

Xiao Yizi put away his thoughts and respectfully said to Tang Xuexi, "It's not a big problem. I have hired a master of beating, so I can rest assured. I rub my feet with medicinal oil every morning and evening, saying that I'll just rub the muscles and bones open."

Tang Xuexi nodded and immediately said, "Since that's the case, I don't care whether to disturb me or not. I said I would visit me anyway and thank Mr. Li in person."

Xiao Yizi led the way, "Please please, Mr. Tang."

The two of them walked through the courtyard and came to Li Yi's residence. They saw that the furnishings in the courtyard were very simple, with all the stone bricks paving the road, and a row of tall banana trees planted under the eaves. There was no other decoration, and there were only some wooden stakes and sandbags used to practice martial arts in the distant corner.

Tang Xueqi came to the Li family to give gifts so many times, but he left every time he delivered them to the door. This was the first time he entered the yard.

Looking at the clean but particularly empty courtyard in front of him, he was still a little unresponsive. This... this is not like a place where people live, right? It is more like the residence of a monk in a temple.

Xiao Yizi had a sudden inspiration and said proudly, "Our owner is quite cold, so the yard is not arranged much! Although he often goes out, he has to socialize. He never gets into trouble. He has been alone all these years, so the yard looks particularly empty."

So that's it.

Tang Xuexi couldn't help but have a great change in his impression of Li Yi.

He always felt that Li Yi was always with the people of the Jiang family for many years, and he must be a feather. He didn't expect that he was quite self-disciplined when it comes to men and women. This surprised him a little, and he couldn't help but look at Li Yi with admiration.

When I spoke to the door, I felt a pungent smell unique to medicinal oil.

Xiao Yizi whispered, "Master, Young Master Tang is here."

Li Yi's voice came from inside the room, "Please come in."

Xiao Yizi led Tang Xueqi in.

There was no decoration in the clean and tidy hall. Apart from the table and chairs, there were only two paintings and calligraphy. Li Yi was sitting at the table with a thick stack of account books on the table. Seeing the visitor, Li Yi supported the table with both hands and was about to stand up. Tang Xuehua saw that the ankles under his trousers were covered with bruises, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, please sit down quickly, don't be too polite. You are uneasy to me. How about it? Is it still hurting so much now?"

Li Yi still stood up and said with a faint expression, "It's nothing. It's much worse than this earlier, so it doesn't matter." He said, pointing to the chair opposite, "Let's sit down and talk."

Tang Xuehua originally wanted to be polite, but seeing Li Yi's appearance, he agreed happily and sat down with some restraint.

This time, the two of them didn't know what to say.

Xiao Yizi said quickly and quickly, "I'll go make tea."

Li Yi nodded, and when Xiao Yizi left the door, the two of them looked at each other silently, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.

Tang Xuexi waited for a long time but didn't see him speak, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for helping you that day. Not only did you take back the things, but you also let your little sister not take risks. Your kindness will be remembered in your heart. If there is something we need in the future, please don't be polite. Just speak directly. As long as it is something we can do, we will definitely not stand by."

Li Yi smiled slightly as he heard this, "Is this your words, or is it your elders who told you?"

Tang Xueyi was stunned, not understanding why he suddenly asked this, and said in a little uncertain way, "Is there any difference?"

Li Yi said with a blank expression, "Do you know who I am? The Tang family has lived in Hangzhou for many years, and I'm afraid I have heard of my reputation for a long time? I'm notorious and can't be considered a good person. If you promise me easily in front of me, aren't you afraid that I will take the chicken feathers as a command arrow and let you do something bad?"

Tang Xuehua perfectly thought that Li Yi would be so direct, and said this in front of others.

His reputation was naturally not good. In the past, Tang Xuexi also had many concerns and was unwilling to get involved with such people.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Yi couldn't help but smile, "What? Isn't you sure what to say so soon?"

Although there was a smile on his face, his eyes were full of chill.

Tang Xuehuan didn't expect him to be so direct. After a moment of stunned silence, he said slowly, "I... just didn't expect Mr. Li to be so straightforward, and I didn't know how to react for a while. I have heard of your reputation. Of course, there are naturally some people who say you are good, but there are many people who scold you behind your back. Although I have been busy with my father in the tea shop over the years, I don't have many opportunities to deal with people. Because of my young age, I am a little confused about many things. To be honest, I was a little scared when I heard that I wanted to deal with you, and the people in your doorman were also fierce. Every time I came to give gifts, I felt that they were going to eat me. So this gift-giving work fell on my head, and I was a little reluctant to come. It was my grandmother's words that woke me up..."

Tang Xuehua said what Mrs. Tang used to enlighten him in a vague manner.

Finally, Tang Xuehua smiled and said, "After my grandmother finished talking to me, I was thinking about these things that night, and finally figured it out. No matter what others say to you, you always have the kindness to help the Tang family. As a member of the Tang family, I will always be thinking about this kindness. So the previous words were not nonsense, but from my sincerity. If Mr. Li needs any help from me, just speak up."

Li Yi's expression was a bit complicated.

He didn't expect that Mrs. Tang had such a high opinion of him, nor did he expect that there were still people in the world who were willing to believe that they were good people.

When he thought of the openness and absolute trust that Tang Xueru showed when facing him again, his heart instantly felt warm and unspeakable.

Xiao Yizi brought tea and interrupted the conversation between the two.

Li Yi said, "The Tang family has run tea shops for generations and is very knowledgeable about tea. There is no good tea treat at home, so you sent it last time. You can only ask Young Master Tang to give it a shameless attitude."

Although his tone is still plain and uneven, it has a bit of comfortable affinity.

Tang Xuehua didn't feel it, but Xiao Yizi felt it. He looked at Li Yi in shock, wondering what happened after he went out so much. The head of the family, who had no good face after seeing anyone, could actually talk to people calmly. Today, the sun rose to the north, right?

If Li Yi hadn't glanced at him, he would have overflowed the tea because of distractedness.

Tang Xuexi said, "This is the new tea this year, it has a fragrant taste and is most suitable for drinking after a meal."

Li Yi said lightly, "It turns out that tea leaves are divided before and after meals? I don't care so much, but it can be seen that they were all chewing peonies before, wasting good things in vain."

Tang Xuehua said uneasy, "The gift I gave you this time is Dahongpao prepared by the family. You have a good look. You can keep it for the afternoon to drink it, which will refresh your mind and make twice the result with half the effort when doing things."

"Okay." Li Yi smiled, and then talked about the serious matter. "Just Master Tang just said that I had any help and just tell you if I needed help. Do you take this seriously?"

"Of course!" Tang Xuehua nodded naturally, "How could I be trustless when a real man says something?"

"That's good." Li Yi said with a solemn expression and seriously, "I really have something I want to ask you. Don't your Tang family have relatives in Shanghai? Can you find a way to ask them to ask about the recent actions of the Jiang family? I have been paying attention to their movements recently, but the Jiang family is too well hiding, and there is no trace for a while. The Bai family is a landlord, with a wealth of business and rich connections, and it must be better than me like a headless fly-fly collision like me!"
