Chapter 60: That Is The Price For Taking Me As A Pillow
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Tang Li arrived at the door of the old man’s ward, she heard Qi Yihan saying to the old man, “…They’re leaving today. If nothing goes wrong, they’ll be back in half a month.”
The old man agreed. “It’s good that they can help you share the burden. You can also spend more time with Tang li.”
When Tang Li heard this, she thought to herself, “Thanks for being considerate towards me but I think I will disappoint you because Qi Yihan probably thinks I am a pervert now.”
Suddenly, Qi Yihan turned to look at her.
The old man looked over as well.
Tang Li greeted the old man with a smile, “Morning, father.”
Then she walked up to Qi Yihan and stood beside him.
The old man smiled and nodded. He seemed to be in a good mood whenever he saw them.
Qi Yihan said, “Father, I will leave Imperial Capital for three days.”
Tang Li tilted her head to look at him, a little surprised.
Then Qi Yihan said to her, “I haven’t announced Father’s illness to the public, but there are many guesses, so I hope that you won’t go anywhere for the next few days.”
Tang Li pursed her lips, obviously displeased. He was obviously asking the old man to keep an eye on her.
At this thought, she said to him unhappily, “You can just tell me if you don’t want me to go anywhere. You don’t have to ask me to go all the way here and tell me in front of father.”
Qi Yihan replied with a straight face, “Besides Father, who else can keep an eye on you?”
Tang Li snorted. “Father doesn’t have the extra energy to watch me. Whether I leave or not depends on my mood.”
Hearing that, Qi Yihan kept quiet.
The old man lying there watched them bicker and nodded in satisfaction. The fact that the two of them could bicker proved that they had each other in their hearts.
The two of them stayed in the old man’s room for a while before leaving.
As they walked in the courtyard, Qi Yihan suddenly said, “After I leave, my brothers will definitely hear the news and come to visit Father. At that time, I hope you can keep an eye on them and not let them anger Father.”
The corners of Tang Li’s lips curled up.
Just when she was ready to refuse his request to piss him off, Qi Yihan added, “That is the price you pay for taking me as a pillow for two nights.”

Tang Li was speechless.
Tang Li could not help but think to herself, “Does he mean that as long as I pay him, I can hug him to sleep?”
Qi Yihan continued coldly and emotionlessly. “There will not be a third time. If you treat me like a pillow next time, we’ll settle the score.”
Tang Li, “…Fine.”
Qi Yihan glanced at Tang Li. Seeing her aggrieved expression, his lips curled up slightly.
…
Just like Qi Yihan had said, his three brothers immediately found out that he was leaving Imperial Capital City.
As expected, the moment he left, his three brothers arrived.
When they arrived, Tang Li and the three doctors were in the laboratory. Butler Wang came to call her.
When Tang Li and Butler Wang got to the old man’s ward, they heard First Master saying tearfully. “Father, you need to get well. Without you taking charge of the Qi family, we won’t be able to survive.”
When Tang Li heard this, she turned to ask Butler Wang, “What did he say to Father just now?”
Butler Wang told her briefly, “He said that Fourth Master gave all the important positions to outsiders just to suppress others in the family. He also said that Fourth Master didn’t give the younger ones a chance.”
Hearing that, the corners of Tang Li’s lips twitched as she grumbled, “They’re all in their fifties. Aren’t they ashamed of snitching on Yihan the moment he left?”
Butler Wang thought to himself, “They don’t feel ashamed at all. They can’t wait to speak ill of Master and steal away his power.”
At this moment, Second Master continued, “The projects that Fourth Brother has been giving us during this period of time are all the most difficult to handle. He even thinks that we are taking too long to carry it out. I think he just wants us to not be able to do it so that he can have an excuse to take back all the rights we have. Father, you always said that we brothers have to love each other. We want to love Fourth Brother, but he doesn’t give us this chance.”
Third Master added, “Also, Tang Li…”
“Third Brother, why are you so excited? Are you going to say something nice about me?”
The sudden voice interrupted Third Master. The few of them looked at Tang Li at the same time, and their expressions were twisted.
When she worked with them before, they thought that she was smart. Ever since she came here and refused their calls and even threatened them, they hated her to the core.
Tang Li did not care if they liked her or not. She walked in and glanced at the old man lying on the bed. She said to the three of them rudely, “Father is weak. You’ve been here for so long, and you’ve seriously disturbed his rest. Brothers, if you have anything to say, let’s go out and talk.”
“What do we have to say to you!” Third Master glared at her.
Tang Li snorted and suddenly called out, “Father.”
The old man, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke. Even though he was weak, he still sounded powerful, “Listen to li. All of you, get out.”
The three masters immediately felt the threat Tang Li posed to them.
This woman actually managed to win over their father in just a few days. It seemed like they had to take the opportunity when their fourth brother was gone to make her stand on their side again. If she refused, they would need to get rid of her.
After telling the old man to not get angry, she said to the three of them, “Brothers, let’s go.”
This time, the three of them did not object and followed Tang Li out.
After they left, First Master said to Tang Li in a commanding tone, “We have something to discuss with you in private. To not disturb Father’s rest, we’ll talk in your place.”
Tang Li did not object and brought them to her villa.
The three of them followed behind her and looked at each other. They knew what to do next.
When they entered the villa, Butler Zhang wanted to follow them, but First Master said directly, “We don’t need you to serve us. No one is allowed to come in and disturb us later.”
Butler Zhang glanced at Tang Li worriedly. He could already tell that the three masters were up to no good. After Tang Li nodded, he left.
They walked into the living room and sat on the sofa, ready to make the first move.
“Tang Li, you’re acting a little arrogant recently. Do you think you can get more by staying in the hospital with our father?”
“Ha! You’re so naive and childish. How much do you think you can get when Fourth Brother is around?”
“Do you think Fourth Brother doesn’t know what you’ve done? You were the one who told Fourth Brother about what happened to Bai Qingyang last time, right? But you probably don’t know how miserable Bai Qingyang is now. He has been forced to the point where he is hated by everyone. It was my good Fourth Brother who did all this.”
“Also, don’t think that he doesn’t know about the spy you planted beside Fourth Brother. Just wait.. As long as Father leaves, you will be done for.”
