BXBX NOVEL Chapter 3796: Close Family
Second Old Madam Li retracted her gaze and lowered her head. She took out a plain flower-colored handkerchief and gently pressed it against the corner of her eyes. There was an indescribable sorrow in her sigh.
Old Master Li frowned. He turned around and looked at his second wife unhappily. “Why are you sighing again?”
“How many years has it been since Jinnian rested at home? Hurry up and arrange for someone to go up and ask him if he needs anything else. Oh right, has the room been cleaned? The bed hasn’t been made, right? Hurry up and arrange it.”
“Also…” Old Master Li wanted to ask the kitchen to cook a few of Li Jinnian’s favorite dishes at night, but he realized that he didn’t know what Li Jinnian liked at all.
As for his second wife, it was even more impossible for her to know.
He swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. In the end, Old Master Li waved his hand and asked Second Old Madam Li to send someone up to take a look. Then, he slowly returned to the study room.
After all, this family had become much quieter. Today, he was actually very happy to see his grandson, who had never been close to the Li family since he was young.
Li Jinnian had already become the grandson of the Fu family. It was just that he still carried the Li family’s name. This was good. This was good too… This way, the old master wouldn’t feel so guilty.
The Li family didn’t need a descendant who didn’t side with the family. Since he didn’t care about the Li family, it didn’t matter if he stayed or not.
Old Master Li, who was walking toward the study room, didn’t have much of an expression on his face as he thought about this. Occasionally, a hint of coldness would flash past his face before disappearing.
After receiving the order, Second Old Madam Li looked at Old Master Li’s back view with resentment in her eyes.
Li Jinnian hadn’t come home to rest for a few years. What about her grandchildren overseas?
She didn’t even know what they looked like!
She didn’t know until Chuhai passed away that the photos she received in the past were all fake. Her real grandchildren were well protected by Chuhai. She hadn’t even met her daughter-in-law!
Old Master Li only knew that his eldest grandson, Li Jinnian, hadn’t spent the night at home in a few years. However, did he know that his biological grandchildren had never even entered the house?
How could he be so biased?
With a resentful look on her face, Second Old Madam Li almost tore the handkerchief in her hand. However, she didn’t dare to disobey Old Master Li’s orders. No matter how unwilling she was, she still got the servants to make the arrangements.
She would only get the servants to make the arrangements. She would never do it personally.
When she felt that it was appropriate, Second Old Madam Li entered the study. When she pushed the door open and entered, she adjusted her expression and lowered her eyes slightly. She revealed a look of sorrow that was beneficial to her. When she entered, she said in a low voice, “Everything has been arranged. Do you think there’s anything else we need to ask the servants to do?”
“If I want him to do a few things for me, I have to coax him first. Don’t feel wronged. Think about how Chuhai died. Do you still feel wronged?”
Old Master Li, who was standing in front of a row of bookcases, could hear the woman’s grievances as a stepmother. He slowly turned around. His eyes were no longer young. They were drooping at the corners. There was a cold and dark look in them. “He’s from the navy. Chuhai was killed at sea. With him around, we might be able to know more.”
Hearing this, Second Old Madam Li, who was feeling aggrieved at first, was elated. Then, she cried tears of joy.
It wasn’t because Chuhai had left that Old Master Li was getting close to Li Jinnian. It was because he needed Li Jinnian’s help that Old Master Li got close to him. That was good, that was good… Old Master Li still sided with her family and not the annoying people from the main family.
