Chapter 746: The old man's compromise
Chapter 746 The old man’s compromise
The old man was furious and had been angry for several days.
Li Lei used both soft and hard tactics, knocked on the old man's study door, brought a cup of tea in, and smiled to please him: "Grandpa, don't be so angry that your body is broken, drink tea. Xiao Ling has many advantages, please try to accept her, okay?" ?”
“Take that!” The old man was furious.
Li Lei put the blue and white porcelain tea cup on the sandalwood table with a smile, walked around behind the old man, and gently tapped his shoulders: "Grandpa, you don't like Xiao Ling, isn't it because you are afraid that she will defeat me? Look, after so many years, I’m having a good time with her, right? … Well, we’re doing well recently.”
The old man glared at him: "Who knows when her fate of being a widower will strike?! Can't you stay away from her and find another woman to like? There are so many good women in the world! There are so many women who can give birth!"
Hearing what he said, the smile on Li Lei's face slowly faded away.
His voice became very gentle and sincere: "Grandpa, to be disrespectful - you love my grandma so much. If grandma had the same fate as Xiao Ling, or if grandma could not have children, you would have abandoned her back then. "The love between two elders is a good story. Although grandma became old and ugly before her death, in grandpa's heart, she was always the most beautiful woman in the world.
The old man was so angry that he slapped the table and tea splashed: "You bastard!"
How could this **** grandson compare a woman like Ye Xingling with his beloved Awan? ! Is that woman worthy? ! The old man's eyes widened angrily, and he pointed at his grandson with a trembling hand: "Shut up!"
The roar was so loud that even the housekeeper guarding the door was startled.
The housekeeper raised his hand to wipe his sweat and glanced at the closed wooden door of the study. Don't know what's going on inside? Over the years, the old man has always loved the second young master very much, but the scolding just now clearly showed that he was angry.
Second Young Master, is he... okay?
In the study.
Li Lei lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the water drops splashing on the rosewood table.
Comparing the matter of his grandma to Xiao Ling, he knew that his grandfather would be furious, but there was no other way. He had to impress his grandfather and let him understand the importance of Xiao Ling to him.
He raised his head and calmly met the old man's gaze.
The study was quiet for a long time.
Mr. Li's heaving chest slowly calmed down, and he said slowly: "Your grandma is such an excellent woman, smart and gentle, good at cooking and taking care of housework, and she doesn't change her face even when ten knives are held to her neck. But. What about Ye Xingling? She is reckless, arrogant, and so impulsive. Does she have any merit that can attract people’s attention? "
Li Lei smiled faintly, thinking of that girl, it was like thinking of the beauty in the whole world. "I just like her like that," he whispered, "I love her."
Love does not need a reason.
The old man stared at him fiercely, as if he wanted to see a hole through his grandson.
Li Lei continued: "Grandpa... you said that she was punished by being alone and widowed, but it is not that terrible. If she died before me, it would not be considered a punishment for me, right? If she died after me... don't you think it would be better to leave early? Is the person who is the happier person?" There is no need to live in memory of the deceased every night, with uncontrollable sadness.
The old man turned his back.
“Get out.” After a while, he said.
Li Lei bowed deeply to his back and exited the study.
"Master." Outside the door, the housekeeper came up to him and looked at him with some worry.
He seemed to be deep in thought. It took him a few seconds to realize the butler's call. He waved his hand to indicate that he and the people inside were fine, and left the study door step by step.
He has already made it clear to his grandfather.
Whether you can listen to it or not depends on grandpa himself. Xia Ling didn't know about the struggle on his side. She was enjoying herself these days.
Ever since the day when reporters picked her up from the airport, reporters photographed the news that Li Lei invited her to dinner, the public's call for her and Li Lei to get back together has become louder, saying that they are a perfect match together, and they have listed various reasons, one by one. Why did she completely destroy the pairing of Su Tang and Li Lei?
She was very happy, and even ate more food. She had gained weight, and some of the clothes she wore last year were no longer fit for her.
She took Li Lei to go shopping to buy clothes, and was photographed by reporters again. The photos were circulated to Su Tang, which made the usually elegant and calm woman very angry and tore the two of them apart.
Xia Ling doesn’t know.
Even if he knew it, he wouldn’t care.
She took care of herself wholeheartedly and was happy as she pleased. This time, she really no longer cared about the feelings of her elders - anyway, it would be useless to care about them, right?
Who would have expected the situation to change.
On this day, Li Lei came to her with a smile: "Xiao Ling, the begonias in my villa are blooming. Grandpa plans to hold a flower-viewing banquet tomorrow. I invite you to attend."
Xia Ling was slightly startled, and her first thought was - "How does the old man want to trick me again?"
Li Lei was a little hurt, and blinked at her: "Actually, grandpa is not as bad as you think. During this time, I was very affectionate towards him and tried to reason with him, and he finally agreed to try to accept you, so I just invited you over in the name of the flower viewing party."
Xia Ling was doubtful. When did Mr. Li become so easy to talk to?
Li Lei said: "Grandpa has loved me since I was a child. As long as I insist on being with you, he will definitely be the one to give in on this matter in the end. Xiao Ling, our Shaohui will be able to regain his identity soon. By then, It’s great that our family is harmonious and harmonious.”
Xia Ling looked at him and nodded.
Yes, there is also Xiao Shaohui.
If the old man doesn't accept her, there's nothing he can do about it. But now that he is already trying to accept her, why doesn't she also try to reconcile with him? After all, he is Xiao Shaohui's great-grandfather, and it is not good for the relationship to be too tense.
She asked: "Can you take Xiao Shaohui with you?"
Li Lei said: "It's better for us to take this matter step by step. Let grandpa accept you first, and then accept Xiao Shaohui." Originally, the old man was very dissatisfied because of her infertility. If she also brought "someone else's family" "Child", the old man's dissatisfaction will only get worse.
It would be better to wait until the old man accepts him first, and then slowly introduce the child.
By then, I am afraid that Shao Hui’s true identity will have been announced, and everyone will be happy.
Xia Ling thought about it, and there was really no need to let the child follow her to suffer the anger - if the old man made a show of his mother and son at the banquet, wouldn't it be too unfair for Xiao Shaohui?
How could she be willing to take that child out and suffer injustice if she held it in her mouth for fear of melting?
So, the next day, she left Xiao Shaohui at home, dressed up carefully, put on a pure-looking light blue dress, and followed Li Lei to see her grandfather.
Well, I made an appointment with my friends to watch Warcraft tonight, so I rushed out two chapters in the afternoon. But the movie ends late, so the third update is expected to wait until after 10 o'clock but before 12 o'clock. To show guilt, ah, to show sincerity...
Yingying rushed to the last ten minutes before the movie started, posting one chapter first, and the second chapter at 8 o'clock (to take care of readers' habit of watching updates at 8 o'clock).
Happy Dragon Boat Festival everyone
