Chapter 1637: 1637

Tang Xi looked at Ling Hui and after a moment of silence, he said, “My mind is in a mess now. Give me some time.”

Ling Hui nodded and stood up. “I’ll leave first.”

Ling Hui walked to the door of the storeroom and Tang Xi called her. “Princess.”

Ling Hui turned to look at Tang Xi.

“Remember the jade hairpin from the previous auction? My mother had one too.”

Ling Hui suddenly understood.

It turned out that he had bought his mother’s jade hairpin at a high price.

The two hairpins looked the same. Her grandmother must have given his mother one when her father and mother were in love back then!

“I’m sorry, I misunderstood you.”

Hearing Ling Hui’s words, Tang Xi stared at her for a few seconds. “Wait a minute, I’ll get the driver to send you back.” He had drunk and could not drive anymore.

Ling Hui did not refuse his offer.

His house was halfway up the mountain and it was not easy to get a taxi.

…

Father Tang and Liu Ping returned from their business trip.

Under the urging of Old Madam Tang, the two of them decided on the date of registering their marriage.

The family had a meal at the Tang family’s old mansion.

In order to congratulate her, Tang Xi gave Liu Ping the jade hairpin he had bought.

When Liu Ping saw the jade hairpin, her eyes were filled with gratitude.

“Ah Xi, you’re too considerate. Auntie Ping really likes your gift.”

Tang Xi smiled. “As long as Auntie Ping likes it.”

After dinner, Tang Xi still had to work overtime at the company. Father Tang wanted to play cards with several old friends, so Liu Ping returned to the villa alone.

She sat on the sofa in the living room and took out the present Tang Xi had given her.

Staring at the jade hairpin in her hand, Liu Ping’s expression changed several times.

What did Tang Xi mean by giving this to her?

Liu Ping looked at the words on the jade hairpin and frowned.

“Madam, this hairpin is so beautiful. Did Sir give it to you?” Liu Ping’s personal servant placed the cut fruits on the coffee table.

Liu Ping’s expression darkened. “This is his ex-wife’s hairpin. Ah Xi gave this to me. What do you think he meant?”

“Young Master and Madam have always had a good relationship. You’re like biological mother and son. Giving you a hairpin means that he treats you as his biological mother!”

Liu Ping’s lips curled up in an ambiguous smile. “Is that so? But Yu’er has worn this before. I feel very uncomfortable!”

“Madam, no matter how much you don’t like it, you have to put on an act in front of Young Master. Don’t let him think that you don’t like it.”

Liu Ping gave a fake smile. “That’s true. All these years, I’ve been used to wearing a mask to live.”

“Madam’s suffering has ended. It’s a good thing that you’ve achieved your goal and have become the mistress of the Tang family.”

Liu Ping looked out of the French windows with an ethereal expression. “Yes, I’m about to become the mistress of this family.”

…

A black SUV was parked outside the villa.

Fang Ye drove while Tang Xi sat behind, a laptop on his slender legs.

He had heard Liu Ping’s conversation with the maid just now.

Fang Ye had also heard it. He turned back to look at Tang Xi, whose expression was dark and his eyes dark.

Even he, as a servant, was shocked and unable to accept Liu Ping’s words, let alone Tang Xi.

If he had not heard Liu Ping’s words with his own ears, he would not have believed that Liu Ping was such a person.

Usually, Liu Ping cared about the Tang family and worked hard in the company. Even when Father Tang wanted to give her shares, she refused them. Whenever she went on a business trip, she would bring gifts for Tang Xi.

These were all secondary. The most important thing was that Tang Xi had interacted with her longer than his biological mother since he was young.

Sometimes, it was Auntie Ping who attended the parent-teacher meeting when his mother was unwilling to go.

He had never doubted her.

She was not a threat to the Tang family.

That night, when he heard Ling Hui say that she had stepped on his mother’s portrait and he found the fur of her slippers there, he had found it hard to accept.

Not to mention hearing her say those words now.

What kind of person was Auntie Ping? Tang Xi suddenly felt that he did not understand her at all!

…

Ever since she met Tang Xi that night, Ling Hui had not seen him for three days.

He had never contacted her and Ling Hui did not know his thoughts and plans.

But she had to find out about her father and his mother.

Seeing the caller ID, a trace of happiness appeared in Ling Hui’s bright eyes. “You’re finally calling me.”

The call got through and Tang Xi asked, “Where?”

Ling Hui glanced at Young Master Qin, who was sitting opposite her. “I’m eating with Young Master Qin, at XX Restaurant.”

The moment she finished speaking, the call ended.

Young Master Qin looked at Ling Hui and poured her a cup of tea. “Was it from Ah Xi?”

Ling Hui hummed.

Young Master Qin called the waiter over. “Add another bowl and chopsticks.”

Sure enough, Tang Xi rushed over not too long later.

He walked in front of Ling Hui and grabbed her wrist. “Come with me.”

“What’s going on? Beauty Ling hasn’t eaten yet!”

Tang Xi glanced at Young Master Qin. “You don’t f*cking know that she slept with me? What’s the point of wooing my woman?”

Ling Hui shook off Tang Xi’s hand and returned to her seat. “I’m sorry, I’m not your woman. Also, I’m still single. Everyone has the right to pursue me.”

Tang Xi’s handsome face darkened. He suddenly stretched out his long arm and carried Ling Hui on his shoulder. With Young Master Qin’s stunned expression, he left the restaurant.
