Chapter 64

Xu Tian heard the voice, and his body stiffened for a moment subconsciously.

However, immediately after, he sighed softly and slowly raised his hand to open the basement door.

"Xu Tian?!"

A Wei and Chen Xiaoxiao both felt their breathing tighten abruptly when they saw Xu Tian.

Oh no!

"Xu Tian, why did you come back so early?"

A flash of uncontrollable panic flickered in A Wei's eyes.

It was just time to get off work now. Normally, Xu Tian should still be on his way home and wouldn't be able to return for at least another hour.

Damn it!

Xu Tian came home early, why didn't the security guard at the villa entrance notify him?

Compared to A Wei's panic, the look Chen Xiaoxiao gave Xu Tian held a bit more contempt and hatred.

She had been punished by Tang Bingyan because of Xu Tian before, but she didn't blame Tang Bingyan at all; she only felt that her young lady had been bewitched by this scumbag Xu Tian.

As long as she was around, she would absolutely not let Tang Bingyan hurt herself because of this man again.

And Xu Tian, he hadn't had a very intuitive feeling while outside the door, but now, facing the extremely bloody scene inside the room directly and smelling the thick, bloody scent rushing toward him, he felt an extreme sense of physical discomfort.

Although he had always been very clear that Tang Bingyan could sit in the position of the Tang family's helmsman at such a young age, her methods certainly weren't simple.

But even though he was prepared, he still felt a bit shocked in his heart when seeing such a bloody and tragic scene.

However, having experienced all kinds of grievances in his previous life, he had already seen through this society of deceit and treachery.

He understood that mercy and kindness would instead become fatal weaknesses.

Very quickly, Xu Tian adjusted his facial expression.

Then, he carried the pastry box in his hand and walked into the basement, trying his best to keep himself looking as if nothing was wrong.

Ever since seeing Xu Tian, Tang Bingyan's complexion had become unusually ugly, and there was even a trace of determination to destroy everything in her eyes.

She had originally wanted to let Xu Tian go, but Xu Tian had given her hope.

If Xu Tian wanted to take all this back now because he saw these things, she really couldn't control what crazy actions she might take.

However, just when Tang Bingyan was prepared to face Xu Tian's disgust or even be called disgusting...

She saw Xu Tian actually shaking the pastry box in his hand in front of her and asking softly: "Wife, do you want to eat some osmanthus cake?"

Do you want to eat some osmanthus cake?

At this instant, even Tang Bingyan, who was usually calm to the point of being cold-blooded, was stunned for a moment.

The next moment, she suddenly looked up at Xu Tian.

She didn't expect that she actually didn't see any hatred or fear on Xu Tian's face.

Gradually, the ice and snow in the depths of Tang Bingyan's eyes seemed to show signs of melting.

"Wife?"

Seeing that Tang Bingyan didn't answer, Xu Tian reminded her softly: "Osmanthus cake won't taste good if it's left out for too long."

On the side, A Wei, who witnessed all of this, couldn't help but support his forehead.

What an idiot! He doesn't even look at what kind of occasion this is, and he's actually asking the young lady if she wants to eat osmanthus cake. Is now the time to eat osmanthus cake?

However, just as he was secretly cursing Xu Tian for having a problem with his brain, he watched with his own eyes as Tang Bingyan's small hand stiffly took the pastry box Xu Tian handed over.

She silently opened the box, took out a piece of osmanthus cake, put it into her mouth, and took a bite.

A Wei: "..."

Fine!

There's nothing wrong with Xu Tian's brain; it's his own brain that has a problem.

Tang Bingyan took a small bite of the osmanthus cake, then looked at Xu Tian and asked in a flat voice: "Don't you have anything to ask me?"

"Of course I do."

Xu Tian said as a matter of course.

Hearing this, a bitter smile appeared on the corners of Tang Bingyan's lips.

Sure enough... what was meant to come would come...

However.

The next moment.

He heard Xu Tian ask her in a consultative tone: "I bought some pork ribs at the supermarket just now, do you like them braised or steamed?"

"Clatter!"

The half-piece of osmanthus cake in Tang Bingyan's hand fell into the pastry box.

And A Wei and Chen Xiaoxiao, not far away, also had expressions like they had seen a ghost.

"You just wanted to ask me this?"

Tang Bingyan stared very seriously into Xu Tian's eyes, trying to read Xu Tian's thoughts at this moment, but Xu Tian's eyes were very calm and had no ripples.

"Of course, what else could there be?"

Xu Tian said in a tone of course: "If you don't like eating pork ribs, wife, I also bought a carp to stew some soup for you."

"You aren't going to ask me why I did this?" Tang Bingyan looked straight at him and spoke.

"Why?"

Xu Tian seemed a bit puzzled.

The next moment, he looked back at the woman being held by Chen Xiaoxiao, and then realized as if it had just dawned on him.

"Are you asking about her? She must have done something wrong and offended you, Madam, that's why you are punishing her."

Chen Xiaoxiao: "..."

A Wei: "..."

This is definitely not the scumbag Xu they knew before!

Tang Bingyan also didn't expect Xu Tian to say this, and for a moment, she didn't know how to respond.

"Wife, don't worry, no matter what you do, I will always support you. It's not impossible if you want to deal with those who make you angry, just don't cause trouble for yourself."

"After all, this is a society ruled by law now. If you really can't handle it, just leave it to me; your husband will find a way to help you handle it."

Chen Xiaoxiao gasped.

Regardless of how Xu Tian managed to say these sickening words that gave people goosebumps, just based on Xu Tian being a freeloader husband, how dare he shamelessly say he wants to seek justice for his young lady? What right does he have?

If it weren't for the young lady, this scumbag Xu would have died a thousand times over under the schemes of the Xu family. He really doesn't know his own limitations!

At this moment, A Wei and Chen Xiaoxiao only had one thought in their hearts: their young lady could never fall for this!

However, just when they were full of contempt for Xu Tian in their hearts, they saw a faint smile instantly appear on Tang Bingyan's originally cold and frosty exquisite face.

Immediately, she nodded, and a smile like the first rays of the sun appeared on her small face: "Okay."

A Wei and Chen Xiaoxiao: "..."

The two of them looked at each other subconsciously, and both saw panic in each other's eyes.

Could it be that their young lady had also been possessed by someone?

"Ring ring ring..."

Before the two could recover, a rapid cell phone ringtone suddenly rang out.

A Wei glanced at the caller ID, and obvious panic appeared in his eyes: "Young Lady, it's the Old Patriarch's call!"

Tang Bingyan said expressionlessly: "You answer it."

A Wei could only bite the bullet and answer the call, and pressed the speaker button.

"Old Patriarch, why are you calling the young lady at dinner time? Is there something urgent?"

"Let Bingyan answer the phone." The voice of the Tang Old Patriarch on the other end of the phone was stern, as if he were suppressing his anger.

A Wei looked at Tang Bingyan with some trepidation. Tang Bingyan nodded at him, and A Wei hurriedly took a few quick steps to hand the phone to Tang Bingyan.

"Hello? Grandpa?"

"Bingyan, why wasn't it you who answered the phone just now? What are you doing right now?"

The Tang Old Patriarch's tone carried obvious questioning; it was clear he had heard some rumors and had specifically called because of it.

A Wei and Chen Xiaoxiao's expressions were grave. They both knew that the Tang Old Patriarch's biggest taboo was family discord.

If the Tang Old Patriarch found out what had just happened, he would definitely be furious, and perhaps even invoke family law.

"I am at home." Tang Bingyan answered in a flat voice.

"You are at home in Jiang City?" The Tang Old Patriarch's tone remained stern: "Then let me ask you, did you have someone take the Third Girl..."

"Is that Grandpa's call?"

Before the Tang Old Patriarch could finish his sentence, Xu Tian, who was beside her, asked first: "Let me have a word with Grandpa?"
