Chapter 104 - 099 - Pretending to be Normal Occasionally Works (First Update)
Tong Airui smiled gently, "Second Uncle, I’m fine. This time it’s my fault—I misjudged the situation. I promise it won’t happen again. Your health still isn’t suitable for long-distance travel. Also, you need to testify in Xi Meichen’s case as a witness, so you’ll have to stay in the capital for a while."
Yi Weiyang sighed softly, "The police haven’t come to talk to me yet, and I don’t know when this case will be resolved. Until she faces legal consequences, my father and my brothers’ spirits will find no peace."
"My uncle knows your health hasn’t been good, so he didn’t want to disturb you. I’ve been following up on this case personally—it’s progressing quickly. I believe the trial will happen soon," Tong Airui paused, "Rest assured, neither of them will end up with a good outcome."
"I trust you to handle things. Here’s the plan: I’ll recover here while waiting for the trial, and Li Hua will coordinate as well. Once the case is over, Luowa and I can leave. Out of sight, out of mind."
Tong Airui raised an eyebrow slightly, "Second Uncle, your arrangement sounds perfect. Have you decided where to settle down?"
Yi Weiyang said hesitantly, "I have an estate at the border between Bastu and Nanwu, and I’m considering settling there. But the problem is, it’s a bit far from where Luowa will be going to school."
Tong Airui laughed and nodded, "I know about that estate—the environment is great. I wasn’t expecting you to be the actual owner. Second Uncle, you don’t have to worry about Luowa’s schooling. She can stay at our place during the school term, and I’ll personally take her back to your estate during the holidays."
"I’m not staying at your place!" Yi Luowa quickly shook her head. "Second Uncle, don’t we still have an apartment in Xiawu? I can live there during the school term."
Tong Airui shook his head, "You living alone wouldn’t put Second Uncle at ease. Besides, you know how much my mom likes you—she definitely wouldn’t let you live elsewhere."
