. His reply was laced with thorns: Wasn't I also a lone wolf before you married inLù Wǎnwǎn felt something was off about him since last night, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She careful...: []

Of course, it's the original position. What do you think Li Yuanzhong's tone sounded as if he were really discussing with you.

But if you really think that, then you're wrong.

And because he clearly knew this was a notice, not a discussion, Li Xiangchen could only chuckle wryly and say: "I'll listen to grandpa."

Li Yuanzhong nodded and said: "You've done a decent job these past two years when entrusted with an important task, you can stay by your brother's side as his deputy general."

But everyone knows that although the general manager and deputy general manager only differ by one character, their powers are worlds apart.

Li Xiangchen's expression froze slightly. He had thought his grandfather would support his elder brother, but he hadn't expected him to come so quickly and urgently!

He is also his grandson, isn't he

But under the watchful eyes of everyone, he quickly swallowed all his unwillingness and said: Everything is up to grandpa's arrangement. It's great that I finally have a chance to work with my elder brother.

Lu Wanwan was stunned listening to this. So "releasing military power with a cup of wine" refers to this, doesn't it

On the other hand, Zhuang Jing looked as if her three souls and seven spirits had been pulled out. She slumped in her chair, utterly dejected.

After dinner

Li Yuanzhong said to Li Jingchen and Lu Wanwan: Come with me.

>Inside the room.

Li Yuanzhong suddenly raised his cane and struck Li Jingchen's left leg hard!

Lu Wanwan was dumbfounded, thinking to herself, "What kind of operation is this"

Li Jingchen was struck with pain, but his expression remained unchanged.

Kneel before me!

Li Jingchen glanced at the side, pursed his lips and said: Grandfather, leave me some face.

Li Yuanzhong sneered, "I think you've lost all shame, what face do you even have left! You actually tried to steal someone at Li Xiangchen's engagement party, and you still think you haven't suffered enough"

Seeing Li Jingchen's silence, Li Yuanzhong continued: Two years ago, if it weren't for her inviting you out late at night, how would you have had a car accident!

Upon hearing this, Lu Wanwan's eyes widened.

Even after all this, you still don't learn, do you Don't you know you deserve a beating

You're saying it is, right

Seeing Li Jingchen's unwillingness to speak more, Li Yuanzhong was so angry that he slapped him several times again.

Lu Wanwan originally wanted to stop him, but when she thought about how Li Jingchen was beaten for Bai Qingluo, she suddenly felt quite relieved.

Just then, Li Jingchen turned his head and caught her gaze, as well as the slight upturn of her lips.

He opened his mouth, expressionless, and asked: "Are you happy"

Lu Wanwan was afraid of causing trouble, so she immediately touched her nose and looked away.

Unexpectedly, Li Jingchen chuckled: "That's good."

Thanks to Grandpa's skills, if being beaten a few times could make her angry subside, it would be worth it.

Li Yuanzhong, after letting out a half-true, half-false burst of anger, continued, "Alright, get out of my sight!"

Li Jingchen raised an eyebrow: "Grandpa, this is our room. If you need to rest, there are plenty of other rooms in the house."

Seeing that Li Yuanzhong's crutch was about to come down, Li Jingchen limped out the door.

After he left, Li Yuanzhong suddenly shook his head and said: That stinky boy actually called this storeroom a room

Lu Wanwan was stunned: What storage room

Didn't he tell you This place was converted from a storage room, his real living area is on the top floor, it's huge, you could ride horses there.

When Lu Wanwan looked dumbfounded, Li Yuanzhong gave a teasing smile: It seems he wants face and doesn't dare to tell you.

But Lu Wanwan felt a little sorry for Li Jingchen.

"But you managed to install that bay window quite cleverly. " Li Yuanzhong said as he walked over and opened the two small windows, pleased. "Standing here, you can smell the flowers."

Lu Wanwan subconsciously replied: Yes, the fragrance of plum blossoms.

Li Yuanzhong paused for a moment, then said in a serious tone: "I will have all the plum trees downstairs cut down tomorrow!"

Lu Wanwan couldn't help but chuckle: "You mustn't!"

Tomorrow Bai Qingluo is going to move into the Li family. If she sees her favorite flower being chopped bald, she might think it's because I don't like her.

Li Yuanzhong wanted to say something more, but suddenly a cold wind blew, covering his face in snowflakes.

Lu Wanwan hurriedly asked: Are you okay

Li Yuanzhong wiped his face and said nonchalantly: "It's nothing! When I was young and training in the army, I ate a lot of snow."

"Poof. Lu Wanwan saw him acting like a child, and suddenly wasn't so afraid of him anymore."

Li Yuanzhong then beckoned to her: Child, come sit with me for a while.

Good.

After they sat down, Li Yuanzhong said: "These days, I always hear Chu Mo mention you, so I've been looking for a chance to meet you."

Lu Wanwan didn't think she was that important. She suspected the old man wasn't really here to see her, but rather to check on Li Jingchen.

Well, don't you believe me Li Yuanzhong's piercing eyes seemed able to see right through people. Suddenly, he took out an object and commanded: "Open it up and have a look!"

Lu Wanwan received a square, red box. After taking it, she carefully opened it.

Inside, there was a jade pendant engraved with the word "Li"!

It was exquisitely designed, with a crystal-clear color, truly a rare find.

At this time, Li Yuanzhong's voice rang out: This heirloom jade pendant can only be worn by the daughter-in-law designated by the Li family.

Hearing this, Lu Wanwan's hand trembled, and she hurriedly asked: Shouldn't that be at Li Xiangchen's mother's place

She doesn't deserve it. Li Yuanzhong said in a low voice, looking at her and saying: In my heart, only Jingchen's mother is my daughter-in-law. As for my granddaughter-in-law, it is you, not Bai Qingluo, nor anyone else.

If before coming to the Li household, he only saw Lu Wanwan as a lucky charm for Li Jingchen, then after seeing with his own eyes Li Jingchen's attitude towards her, Li Yuanzhong decided to acknowledge this granddaughter-in-law!

Lu Wanwan's heart skipped a beat. She rarely received affirmation, so Li Yuanzhong's words at this moment were especially precious.

But as soon as she thought of what had happened yesterday, she quickly handed the jade pendant back: But he doesn't like me.

Li Yuanzhong kindly asked: "So, do you like him"

I

Seeing that she couldn't answer, Li Yuanzhong gently persuaded her: "Let me rephrase my question. Are you happy with him"

Lu Wanwan hesitated for a moment. Before knowing that Bai Qingluo was his first love, they were indeed getting happier and happier.

That fleeting moment of joy couldn't withstand the impact of reality.

However, facing a superior like Li Yuanzhong, she still hesitated but nodded honestly.

Li Yuanzhong couldn't help but relax his face and said with a smile: Then take it. If one day, you feel unhappy, just return it to me.

Outside the door, Li Jingchen was leaning against the door frame, arms crossed.

At this time, two maids walked by.

Is the young master eavesdropping

Psst! Come on, hurry up!

tsk.

What eavesdropping He just has nowhere to go. quickly appease the young master who had starved himself for a day.Li Qingling followed Lu Wanwan all the way to the second floor, but finally stopped outside Li Jingchen's room. She threatened coldl...
