A night passed without incident. The next day, Chen Xiao followed Lu Wushuang directly to the Li Family.
Under the guidance of a Li Family servant, Chen Xiao arrived at a pavilion within the Li Family Estate.
The Li Family's estate was exquisitely arranged with pagodas, platforms, and pavilions—it had everything one could ask for. At that moment, an elderly man in a Tangshan was sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Despite being over seventy, he had the aura of a tiger and was brimming with energy, exuding an awe-inspiring presence without being angry.
Next to the elder sat a young girl with a clear and elegant face. She was very tranquil as she served the elder hot tea, exuding the quiet grace of a sheltered young lady.
However, Chen Xiao saw someone he knew: Xu Yanran!
What rotten luck, he cursed inwardly. Why did I have to run into this woman here?
Xu Yanran's gaze met his, and her previously smiling face instantly turned ashen. "How are you here?"
