“What idea?”
Seeing the light in her eyes, Li Yang asked curiously.
“I can lure him to the provincial capital and let him temporarily avoid disaster. I estimate that if my seventh aunt fails this time, her next plan will be to directly target me and my father. If she can’t find us, she’ll naturally give up,” Tang Xinyu said seriously.
“Alright, then we’ll go back first and find a good reason to trick him into coming over.”
Li Yang thought about it and felt that this method was feasible, so he casually agreed.
Immediately after, Li Yang took Tang Xinyu to the mountain-top manor villa first.
As they drove there and got out of the car, they saw a series of Nordic-style villa buildings.
Each villa here was independent, and the distance between each villa was several hundred meters, providing ample privacy.
Moreover, the decoration of these villas was extremely luxurious and high-end. Each had an independent garden, a large yard, and a private swimming pool.
From the foot of the mountain, this place looked like a series of palaces. From the top of the mountain, one could overlook the entire province’s topography.
The environment was beautiful, with blue skies and white clouds that were very refreshing.
Even a young lady like Tang Xinyu was seeing such luxurious villas for the first time.
“So your villa is this luxurious. Is this the most expensive villa in the province?” Tang Xinyu asked, looking around enviously.
“That’s right. This is the largest mountain-top villa, and Wen Ding Tian Xia is also the most luxurious villa complex in the province. This is my first time here. Let’s go inside and see what it’s like!”
Li Yang was very satisfied with the scenery and structure outside the villa. He quickly led Tang Xinyu to press the doorbell. After a while, Fang Xiaoqing ran out from inside and came to greet them with great joy.
“Brother Li Yang, Sister Xinyu, you’re back. Did you encounter any difficulties?” Fang Xiaoqing asked caringly as she opened the door.
“Don’t worry, the problem has been solved. Xinyu is no longer in danger. Where are Sister Shui and Zhou Yi? Are they all inside?” Li Yang asked casually.
“Now, we’ve tidied up the inside and chosen rooms. We’ve reserved the largest room for Sister Xinyu.”
Fang Xiaoqing said with a smile, then led them into the villa.
As soon as they stepped into the living room, they immediately saw a spectacular scene.
The living room was over three hundred square meters, with a north-south orientation. The interior decoration was extremely luxurious, with marble floor tiles and background walls, as well as hand-painted art murals covering the walls, with gold bars decorating all the borders.
The enormous chandelier made one feel like they had entered a king’s palace. The leather sofas and chairs gave a sense of ultimate luxury.
Shui Xiang and Zhou Yi saw Li Yang and the others return and also inquired caringly about Tang Xinyu’s situation. Upon learning that the matter had been resolved, their faces lit up with joy.
“That’s great! It’s good that you and Li Yang are alright, Xinyu. Hurry and come upstairs with us to see. We’ve reserved the largest room for you. This was all my idea.”
Shui Xiang happily pulled Tang Xinyu upstairs. When Tang Xinyu entered the room and compared it with the other rooms, she asked in surprise, “Shui Xiang, why did you reserve the best room for me?”
“You deserve it. Actually, I understand. When I was with Li Yang, you already had a relationship with him. As his first girlfriend, we naturally have to make way.”
“Although I’m older than you, you are still the highest in status among us. I willingly take second place, Xiaoqing third, and Zhou Yi fourth. From now on, we’ll call you Big Sister directly!” Shui Xiang explained seriously.
“This isn’t good, is it? Sister Shui, I think it’s still…”
“Sister Xinyu, this is something we all discussed. We all think it’s fine, so please don’t refuse!”
Before Tang Xinyu could finish, Fang Xiaoqing walked in from outside, blinking her beautiful eyes and saying.
Zhou Yi followed behind, nodding repeatedly like a pecking chick.
Tang Xinyu showed a touched smile and then agreed, “Alright then, since you’ve all been so kind, I won’t refuse.”
“That’s right! We four sisters must get along harmoniously from now on, not to cause trouble for Li Yang, and certainly not to be jealous of each other,” Shui Xiang said seriously to the others.
They all nodded decisively and readily agreed.
By evening, their stomachs all began to rumble.
Tang Xinyu suggested cooking at home tonight for everyone to get together, but when they went to the kitchen, they found that there were no ingredients at home, not even oil or salt, making it impossible to cook.
It was clearly too late to go out and buy groceries now.
After thinking for a moment, Shui Xiang took the initiative to suggest, “Why don’t we go out for hot pot? With so many of us, hot pot is the easiest, and it can enhance communication and feelings.”
“Hot pot sounds good. Hot pot is my favorite. I second that with both hands,” Fang Xiaoqing said, raising both her hands.
“I agree too!”
Tang Xiaoyao and Zhou Yi also agreed.
After they had discussed it, they went together to Li Yang and invited him to join them for hot pot.
But Li Yang shook his head and said, “You guys go ahead. I won’t be going. Master Long has invited me to attend the Dragon wedding banquet, and I should be leaving.”
“Dragon wedding banquet?”
When Shui Xiang heard these three words, she became excited on the spot and said, “I’ve heard of this banquet. It can be considered the largest wealthy merchant banquet in the provincial capital, and many big figures in the antique industry will be present. I didn’t expect Master Long to invite you too.”
“Wow, Brother Li Yang, you’re amazing! I can’t believe you have such a good relationship with Master Long. Then, if we follow you from now on, we can truly enjoy a life of ease,” Fang Xiaoqing praised, blinking her beautiful eyes.
Li Yang glanced at them and said with a smile, “Don’t joke with me. I’ll be back late tonight. You guys eat early and come back to sleep. I’m leaving.”
After saying that, Li Yang left the villa.
After Li Yang left, they all happily went out together to eat hot pot.
“Hello, Lingling.”
As Li Yang was on his way down the mountain, he suddenly received a call from Long Lingling. She asked on the other end, “Li Yang, where are you? I’ll come pick you up. We’ll go to the Dragon Soul Banquet venue together. My dad has invited a distinguished guest to tonight’s Dragon wedding banquet.”
“What distinguished guest?” Li Yang asked curiously when he heard her sound so excited.
“Have you heard of Wu Lei, the Treasure-Appraising Divine Venerable from the capital? My dad has invited his disciple, who is also one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Capital Antique Association, Azure Dragon,” Long Lingling said excitedly.
“Four Heavenly Kings? They sound very powerful,” Li Yang said dismissively.
