Chapter 237: Dinner Party

Machine Translation

Ling Shitian brought her to the door of the largest bedroom and pushed the door open. Inside was a very spacious, clean and sweet room.

"Little rose, see if you like it." Ling Shitian walked in front of her happily.

He had once hoped that if he could marry Shangguan Yuyu, their daughter would definitely live in such a clean and sweet room.

But in the end, he lost. Shangguan Yuyu's last marriage was to Shangguan Li.

So, his heart was broken. He planned to never touch love again and never get married in his life. So, he always thought that he would never have a daughter in his life, let alone prepare a room like this for his daughter.

But today, because of Tang Xiaowei's arrival, he still satisfied his father's addiction of preparing a room for his daughter.

"I like it very much. Thank you, Uncle Tian." Tang Xiaowei actually liked this color in the past. She was very young, and it was good to see her mood.

But now, after she was hurt by Huangfu Qiye and Huangfu Yuner, and after her attitude changed, she actually didn't care about these things. So, no matter what Ling Shitian prepared, she would only say that she liked it.

Ling Shitian didn't see any surprise in her eyes, but he didn't continue to ask.

He remembered that she was locked up by him for a whole night last night. When he thought of her mother, he felt guilt and heartache.

"Little rosette, you should rest now. Uncle Tian won't disturb you anymore." Ling Shitian said guiltily and then left.

Tang Xiaowei wanted to be alone for a while, so she nodded. After he left and the servants left, she closed the door.

After closing the door, she heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she leaned against the door and thought about the sudden incident that happened today.

From now on, she was Ling Yijue's sister in name. She really did not expect this change.

However, to her, such a change was only beneficial.

Moreover, she could really feel that Ling Shitian really wanted to treat her well.

Thus, she thought of her mother, Shangguan Yuyu.

Her mother was also a great beauty. She looked even more beautiful than her, and her father, Shangguan Li, was also extraordinarily handsome.

When she was young, she could remember that her father and mother were very in love.

Therefore, if Ling Shitian really liked her mother in the past, then he was really pitiful.

Sigh.

Tang Xiaowei sighed and no longer pitied Ling Shitian.

That was because she herself was quite pitiful. She didn't even have the time to pity herself, so why should she pity Ling Shitian? Wasn't he still alive.

She rubbed her head and felt uncomfortable all over. She then found clean pajamas in the room and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

An hour later, she came out of the shower. After drying her hair, she directly fell asleep on the bed.

...

When Ling Yijue was looking for Tang Xiaowei on the street, he suddenly received a call from his father.

He looked at the caller ID and was annoyed by the person on the other end of the phone. He did not want to pick up at all.

However, he felt he had no choice.

He could only swipe the screen and pick up the call. "Father."

"Come back to the castle immediately. I have something to announce tonight." Ling Shitian's voice was tinged with excitement. Although his tone was still cold, Ling Yijue could still hear his excitement.

Ling Yijue was surprised. "Father, is there something important? I have been a little busy these two days. I might not be able to..."

"If you don't want my people to invite you personally, remember to come back before 7 pm!" Ling Shitian did not give his adoptive son time to hesitate and reject him. After saying everything he wanted to say, he immediately hung up the phone.

The phone was hung up.

Ling Yijue's expression was extremely ugly.

He simply did not have the time right now. He had been looking for Tang Xiaowei for an entire day, but he still could not find her.

But his father suddenly called him to ask him to go back. What exactly happened?

...

Inside the castle.

Ling Shitian did not let anyone go upstairs to disturb Tang Xiaowei's rest.

Instead, after he called his adopted son to let him come back at night, he immediately instructed the butler beside him. "David, pass down the order. There will be a banquet in the castle tonight. I will introduce miss's identity to everyone. As for the guest list, you go and prepare it. Don't let in those without identification."

"Yes, master." David nodded and left.

Ling Shitian, although he was already 50 years old, did not want to age at all. Because of the blood charm injection, he looked like he was around 30 years old. Therefore, the people in the castle and those around him would not call him old master, they would only call him master.

Only the people around Ling Yijue would call him master in private.

After David Left, Ling Shitian was extremely excited and walked around the house.

It had been a long time since he was this happy.

Ever since more than ten years ago, when he saw Shangguan Yu and Shangguan Li get married and have children, he could no longer be happy.

And today, because he felt that he had a daughter, his heart was sweet.

Little rosette's parents were gone, he would protect her well in the future.

He would definitely love her as if she was his own daughter.

He wanted to tell everyone about her identity, to let everyone know that she was now the high and mighty young miss of the Moqi family, so that no one would dare to bully her.

He also didn't want anyone to be blind and offend her again.

...

At the same time, when Huangfu Qiye was looking for someone on the street, Yuan Qi, who was beside him, received a call and reported to him carefully.

"Young master, because your whereabouts in England has been exposed, the master of the Moqi family is going to hold a banquet tonight. His butler knows that you're here, so he wants to invite you to attend."

"I'm not going!" Huangfu Qiye's mind was completely focused on finding Xiaowei. How could he agree to attend some banquet?

Yuan Qi nodded and was about to call back to reject the invitation.

However, Huangfu Qiye looked at Yuan Qi as if he had just come back to his senses. "Which family did you say?"

"The Moqi family," Yuan Qi answered seriously.

"The Moqi family that has the only antidote for Xiaowei's poisoning?" Huangfu Qiye asked.

Yuan Qi was stunned for a moment, then he nodded. "That's the family."

"Okay, tell them that I'll be there on time," Huangfu Qiye agreed.

Although he had never found Tang Xiaowei, he could still get the antidote first.

As long as he got the antidote and found Tang Xiaowei, she would be able to survive. When Huangfu Qiye thought of this, he immediately felt much more relaxed.

At least in the month he had been looking for her, although he hadn't found her, he was going to get the antidote today.

...

When Tang Xiaowei woke up, it was just dusk.

She had actually slept the whole day.
