Shen Li looked up.

“It hasn’t been decided yet.”

On one hand, it was true that she had not prepared any paintings for auction recently. On the other hand, after the incident last time, she had learned a lesson and would not easily put the paintings up for auction in the future.

“However, I don’t think any will be auctioned in the near future.”

Gu Tinglan looked regretful.

“In that case…”

He had originally thought that if she were to do it again, he would be able to join in the fun.

It was not convenient to come to his second brother’s house all the time.

Seeing his expression, Shen Li could roughly guess his plan and instantly became even more determined to not sell her paintings casually.

Just because of the painting from last time, she did not know when she would be able to completely fulfill all her promises to her other uncles.

It would be even more troublesome to add Gu Tinglan to the list.

“But I heard that at the auction, Lu Er was quite tough. He didn’t hesitate to raise the price for every round of bidding.”

Gu Tinglan had not been at the scene that day, but when the news had spread later, it had also caused an uproar. It was said that the second master of the Lu family had spent a lot of money to buy his girlfriend’s painting.

Even Gu Tinglan had to admit that the price was indeed very high.

But who asked Shen Li to be the one to produce the painting?

Which one of the Gu family members had not made up their mind to snatch the painting?

In the end, it had still ended up in the hands of Lu Huaiyu.

He smiled at Shen Li and teased, “If not for Ah Li’s help, he would probably have bought the painting for more than that, right?”

Shen Li tightened her grip on the magazine.

That’s right.

Lu Huaiyu had bought her painting for 75 million, but she had also paid a price for it.

In many people’s eyes, Lu Huaiyu had practically given the money directly to her, but–

If she had known that he was Saint, she would never have stopped her uncles.

That sum of money was less than one-third of the debt that she had been paying off in the past three years.

At the thought of this, Shen Li put down the book in her hand and calmly said, “Second Uncle, let’s have chili, sesame hand shredded chicken, and beef stewed with white radish for lunch today.”

Gu Tingchuan, of course, had no objections.

Hearing the names of these two dishes, Gu Siqi and Gu Sicheng’s appetites grew even more and their eyes lit up.

“Sure, sure!”

Gu Sicheng took the initiative to raise his hand.

“Cousin, let me help you!”

Shen Li stood up and patted his head.

“There’s no need, I can do it.”

Then, she turned around and walked toward the kitchen.

Gu Siqi thought for a moment, before waving at Gu Sicheng.

“We don’t know how to do anything else, but we can still wash vegetables!”

The two of them liked to stick to Shen Li. When she came to the house, the two of them followed her like little tails.

Of course, this time was no exception.

Gu Tinglan looked over and reminded the two brothers.

“You guys go and take a look first. I’ll go over to help later.”

There were maids at home, so Shen Li could cook these two dishes alone. But if nothing else, they could at least still help with washing the vegetables and boiling the water.

“Okay!”

The two brothers replied in unison and rushed to the kitchen together.

“Cousin! We–”

Shen Li took a white radish that had just been washed and brought the knife down on it with a deadpan expression.

Bang!

The white radish was neatly cut into two.

The two brothers stood at the kitchen door, both feeling stunned.

Shen Li turned her head to look over. “What’s the matter?”

Gu Siqi stared at the knife in her hand and calmly said, “It’s nothing, Cousin. Uncle asked us to ask if there’s anything you needed help with.”

Shen Li said, “No. These two dishes aren’t difficult. They’ll be ready soon. You guys can go back first.”

Gu Siqi quickly nodded. “Okay, Cousin!”

With that, he immediately pulled Gu Sicheng, who was already dumbfounded, away.

Gu Tinglan heard footsteps. He looked up and saw the brothers coming back with tense little faces.

He felt that something was a little strange.

“What’s wrong?”

Gu Siqi then released Gu Sicheng and looked back. He lowered his voice and said very seriously, “Uncle, Cousin doesn’t seem to be in a good mood today. For safety’s sake, it’s better for us to stay away.”

Gu Tinglan was stunned.

He raised his chin in that direction.

“What happened? Wasn’t she fine just now?”

“Uncle must have offended Cousin.” Gu Sicheng came back to his senses. He looked at Gu Tinglan with a complicated expression and said softly, “She was fine just now. It was only after Uncle chatted with Cousin that she became like this.”

Gu Tinglan’s expression became complicated for a moment.

He? Offended Ah Li?

How was that possible? Hadn’t he only asked about the painting?

He looked at Gu Tingchuan hesitantly.

“… Second Brother, did I… say something wrong just now?”

Actually, Gu Tingchuan did not understand what was wrong with what he said just now, but–

“Ah Li only talked to you and now she’s angry. If It’s not your fault, who else could it be?”

Gu Tingchuan frowned.

“Just don’t come again next time.”

Gu Tinglan replied, “… Second Brother, if you don’t want to welcome me, you can just say so. There’s no need to borrow–”

Gu Tingchuan raised his eyelids.

“Am I not being direct?”

Gu Tinglan was speechless.

Sigh, if I knew I would be besieged, I would have brought Gu Siyang along to divert the firepower.

Forget it.

Next time.

…

While they were eating, Gu Tinglan noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange.

However, Shen Li had always been very good at controlling her emotions. From her outward appearance, nothing could be seen. She seemed to be exactly the same as before.

Gu Tinglan had wanted to ask, but at the dining table, it was really difficult to ask.

Fortunately, there was still the presence of Yun Jingrou, so the atmosphere quickly became lively again.

Gu Tinglan guessed that it would not be a big problem, so he was relieved.

In the middle of the meal, his cell phone rang.

He looked down and ended the call.

But very soon, the call came again.

Yun Jingrou said,”Tinglan, who’s calling? If it’s urgent, just answer it.”

“It’s the clinic,” Gu Tinglan said. After hesitating for a moment, he answered the call.

Shen Li looked up as well.

Gu Tinglan listened for a while before saying, “Okay, I understand. Tell him that I’ll be returning to the Capital tomorrow.”

Then, he hung up the phone.

Yun Jingrou asked,”Tinglan will be leaving tomorrow?”

“Yes. There’s a patient that I’ve been personally in charge of. The staff aren’t able to handle him. They called me to report this.”

Hearing this, Shen Li paused.

“Little Uncle, I remember that there was a patient who asked you to see him last time?”

Gu Tinglan nodded with a smile.

“Ah Li has such a good memory? This is that person.”

The last time he had answered the phone was when Shen Li had just arrived in Hong Kong City. When he showed her the information for the racing club event, he had not expected her to remember everything.

Shen Li understood.

Yun Jingrou thought for a moment and said, “Then this patient is quite stubborn?”

“Actually, that’s normal.” Gu Tinglan picked up a piece of radish. “I will usually encounter all kinds of patients.”

Yun Jingrou nodded in agreement.

Gu Tinglan looked at Shen Li again.

“Will Ah Li come back to the Capital with me this time?”
