Chapter 225: After breaking off the engagement Mr. Si chased his wife to the crematorium!
Chapter 225: The Object of Brother's Affection
At the entrance of the lakeside villa, Ou Yan had just gotten out of the car when her phone suddenly rang.
[Boss, there's some progress with the fire from back then. We've caught two suspects, but they're not talking. I'm worried they might not make it if we push them too hard. Could you come over?]
"Okay." After hanging up, Ou Yan saw that the taxi driver hadn't left yet, so she got back into the car. "Please take me to the South Mountain Villa."
The driver, taken aback, asked, "You mean the villa on the top of South Mountain?"
He had heard that it was a wealthy individual's private residence, off-limits to ordinary people! There were even rumors about the owner having a bad temper; whenever someone's car entered the vicinity of the mountain, pillars would rise from the road, blocking further progress...
No one dared to go there!
Glancing at the rearview mirror, the driver wondered if the young lady in the car knew someone inside the villa.
First, the lakeside villa, now the South Mountain Villa. It seemed this young lady's identity was not ordinary.
However, if she was so extraordinary, why didn't she have her own driver and vehicle, and instead hailed a cab to go out?
The driver couldn't figure it out.
"You can't go to the mountaintop. Just drop me off at the foot of the mountain."
"Alright, please fasten your seatbelt," the driver quickly stepped on the gas and drove off.
Not far away, in a luxury business car, Li Canxi watched everything, his starry eyes reflecting a hint of ripples...
Such a beautiful young lady, who is she?
Why does she seem so likable?
He had never seen such a beautiful girl before; her delicate face, flowing hair, and imposing aura were all in line with his aesthetics!
"She must have just left your place and hailed a cab back home? Seems like she's a thrifty and frugal girl," Li Canxi's agent, Old K, noticed his thoughts and praised generously, "Could she be a blind date arranged by your mother? She's quite impressive!"
Such a beautiful blind date... when did Mother have such good taste?
"I know you need to go home and accompany your sister, so I'll give you a couple of days off."
"Thanks." Li Canxi patted his shoulder and didn't forget to take the gift he had prepared for his sister before leaving. "I'm off."
In the living room, Song Qiaoying was sitting on the sofa drinking flower tea. When Li Canxi appeared, she couldn't help but put down her teacup and start berating him.
"You rascal, you finally decided to come back? Your sister has been back for a few days already! All you do is stay busy..."
Li Canxi chuckled, "Mom, why does your hammer feel heavier? Have you gained weight recently?"
"You rascal, are you saying I've gained weight?" Song Qiaoying gave him a couple more hits before someone brought a weighing scale over. "Really gained a pound, my goodness, tell the kitchen not to prepare my late-night snack tonight!"
"Where's sister?" Li Canxi smiled, looking around but not seeing his sister's figure. He scratched his head, wondering if she was asleep.
"Now you care about your sister? Too late!" Song Qiaoying snorted and turned her head away. Li Canxi felt a little puzzled. What did she mean by "too late"?
"Is she gone?"
"You rascal! Can't you speak properly?" Song Qiaoying couldn't resist hitting him again. "Your sister is doing fine, she went out and won't be back so soon."
"Oh... then I'll go upstairs and take a shower first."
"Hold on, I haven't finished speaking yet..."
Seeing Li Canxi's long legs quickly climbing the stairs, Song Qiaoying felt a bit angry. This rascal must have known what she was about to say and deliberately avoided her!
Forty minutes later, Li Canxi came downstairs again, found a seat, and picked up some fruits from the table to eat a few pieces.
"Sister hasn't come back yet?"
Song Qiaoying caught him and immediately said, "You always claim to be busy every day! You're already an adult, have you ever thought about settling down?"
Suddenly, she remembered something and couldn't help asking, "I heard your circle is quite chaotic... do men like men there? Are you one of them?"
"Pfft..." Li Canxi almost choked on a grape. "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Seeing his strong reaction, Song Qiaoying thought he must be guilty. "Li Canxi, tell Mom the truth. Do you already have a boyfriend? Is that why you don't want to come home for a blind date? If you do, just tell me. Mom is not conservative..."
"Mom, what are you talking about!"
"Even if it's a same-sex relationship, Mom can accept it. At least it's better than being single!"
"..." Li Canxi was speechless. "Mom, I'm not some unsellable merchandise at a clearance sale! Your son is still in his prime! Full of vigor and vitality!"
"Then why don't you have a girlfriend? Although you're not handsome, not tall, and a bit old for your age..."
"Mom, I'm only 22! How am I old?" Li Canxi couldn't help but retort.
"Your former classmate, Lin Jun, who's the same age as you, recently got engaged. Mom even went to their wedding!" Song Qiaoying said with a hint of worry, "When will it be your turn?"
Li Canxi popped two grapes into his mouth and nonchalantly said, "Soon, soon."
"Really? When?" Song Qiao Ying was pleasantly surprised. "So you have someone in mind? Who is it? Do I know her?"
"I did find a girl who seems quite special..."
"Really? Which wealthy family is she from?" Song Qiaoying eagerly asked, "What's her name? How old is she? Where is she from?"
To hear such words from her rascal son, she felt like burning incense for her ancestors!
"Just tonight, the girl who came to our doorstep... she seemed quite special."
"At our doorstep? You mean Sang's daughter?"
"She's Sang Qi??" Now it was Li Canxi's turn to be surprised. Although they used to play together when they were kids, Sang Qi went abroad with her parents when she grew up, and only returned in the last two years. But has her appearance changed so drastically that he couldn't recognize her anymore?
"Yes, she came to visit us tonight, carrying gifts. Look at how much more filial other people's children are compared to you!" Song Qiaoying couldn't help but scold, "You come back all this way and don't even show proper respect to your parents!"
"But you said I didn't need to bring anything, just myself."
"I also told you to get married this year, did you listen?" Song Qiaoying nagged for a while before asking, "How many days off do you have? Sang Qi will come over tomorrow, I'll arrange for you two to meet? I quite like this kind of girl with short hair and big eyes..."
"Short, short hair??" Now it was Li Canxi's turn to be astonished. "I just said the girl I saw had long hair!"
"Long hair??" Song Qiao Ying recollected, "Mrs. Li was supposed to bring her daughter over as a guest tonight, she has long hair, isn't it her?"
She took out her phone and showed Li Canxi a photo.
