Chapter 967 The child’s questions
Hearing this, Mr. Li sighed and could only advise Su Tang: "Tang, you go back first."
Su Tang's heart grew colder. Unexpectedly, Mr. Li, who had always protected her, was blocked by someone in just a few words. So what if she still wanted to continue fighting with Xia Ling? It's useless... the words "Mother of the House" are the highest token. As long as Xia Ling occupies this position for a day, no one else can disobey her will!
Su Tang lowered his head with regret and left the villa amidst the urging of the servant.
Xia Ling was still angry and ordered the servant: "Don't let her in from now on!"
The servant responded solemnly.
Su Tang's back stiffened as she was walking out the door. She felt deeply humiliated. When did she, who was once so beautiful and admired by her family, fall into such a state? Looking at the servant's sympathetic eyes, she secretly clenched her fists - Xia Ling, it's all Xia Ling's fault! If it weren't for that bitch, she would still be the most popular woman in the Li family! She is also the woman Li Lei admires most! She...is not willing to give in!
The night wind was getting colder and colder. She was full of worries and was kicked out of the Li family.
Li Lei, Xia Ling, and Mr. Li were the only three people left in the living room.
Xia Ling called her grandpa and was speechless for a moment.
The old man didn't like her cruel methods when expelling Su Tang, so he admonished her: "Xiao Ling, you are now the matron of the Li family. You must always remember to be cautious in your words and deeds, and you must be virtuous to convince everyone!"
"Why am I so immoral?" Xia Ling was very unhappy and couldn't help but contradict her. The old man has too many things to take care of! Do you really think he is still the all-powerful Li Shanhe! Don't even look at who belongs to the Li family now, and whose daughter she, Xia Ling, is! Do you really think that she is a soft persimmon that can be flattened and rounded, and can be pinched as much as you want! Classmate Xia Xiaoling was very unhappy. Why was she already the mistress of the Li family, yet so many people didn't take her seriously?
Mr. Li's expression turned ugly. This girl is really relying on her mother's family to become lawless!
Just when he was about to continue to lecture her, Li Lei had already interrupted: "Didn't grandpa come to see Shaohui and the others? I'll ask the servant to take you to the backyard. The child will fall asleep when it gets late, and you won't be able to see it."
Li Lei slightly increased his voice on the last half of the sentence.
Mr. Li was so angry that he glared at him, brat, have you learned how to threaten people? ! Judging from the meaning behind his words, if Xia Ling is made unhappy, even his great-grandson will not be able to see her! Although he didn't come specifically to see his great-grandson this time, he hadn't seen him for a long time. He missed those two little guys... Well, mainly he missed Xiao Shaohui. How cute this child with the blood of the Li family is. He was like a replica of Li Lei when he was a child, so many times more lovable than the grown-up grandson he is now! It's a pity that Xiao Shaohui is always not close to him. He needs to spend more time with his children and find ways to ease the relationship...
Mr. Li was thinking a lot and finally stopped scolding Xia Ling.
Li Lei smiled and rewarded his grandfather: "There are little Shaohui's favorite snacks in the kitchen. He didn't eat much for dinner. He is getting hungry now. Why don't you bring it to him? In addition, he is no longer obsessed with pirates recently. I like to hear the stories of our family’s past conquering the world. Grandpa, you know a lot more about this than me. Why don’t you stay here for a few more days and tell Xiao Shaohui about it? "
The old man was very happy and went to find his great-grandson with some snacks.
Xia Ling watched him go away silently, and then said to Li Lei: "You know Shao Hui is a bit repulsive to him." Even she felt uncomfortable in her heart. It was this direct relative who ordered Shao Hui to be sent to the training club. Grandpa!
Li Lei took her into his arms: "Are you angry?"
“Humph.” She hummed, not wanting to pay attention to him.
Li Lei smiled and pinched the tip of her small nose: "I know you don't like it, but Xiao Shaohui will inherit the family business in the future. He must be more courageous and smarter than ordinary people. He must learn how to forgive in order to learn that there are no permanent enemies and no permanent friends, so that he can go further in this world of the jungle. "
“Is it really just like this?” She didn’t believe it. This time, he smiled bitterly: "Okay, just for my selfish reasons, I hope that my most beloved son and my most respected grandpa can live in harmony."
She looked up at him and said, "Do you hope that I can live in harmony with your grandfather?"
"That's different," Li Lei said. "Grandpa has given in to little Shaohui and regretted it. He sincerely loves this great-grandson, so I hope that little Shaohui can accept him. But grandpa still has prejudices against you, old man. If I make you unhappy, how can I demand that you accept Grandpa in this situation? I'll be thankful if you don't start a fight."
She was amused by him and realized his good intentions.
After leaning in his arms for a while, she said, "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."
Love is love, life is life. In love, she couldn't tolerate any grievance, so she was so nervous and defensive when he pursued her, which put him through many tests. But once they are together, getting married and living is another matter. She will learn to compromise and maintain the family for the sake of the one she loves deeply.
Li Lei kissed the top of her hair, feeling full of love in his heart.
At night, he went back to his room to sleep first, and she went to the children's room to tell stories to Xiao Shaohui and Li Rui as usual.
The two children originally lived in two separate rooms, but as their relationship got better and better, they merged the two rooms into one room and truly lived and ate together. Xia Ling was a little worried at first. After all, Li Rui is a naughty kid. What if he leads Shao Hui into trouble? But soon after, this worry disappeared. Not only was Shao Hui not led astray, but he also made Li Rui behave and obey him a lot. He was really a good brother.
Xia Ling took the storybook and went in.
Sitting on the bedside of the two children, she whispered the story about the adventures of the little snow wolf and its mother wolf. The peaceful and clear voice of the phoenix echoed in the air, unknowingly bringing the children into a fascinating situation. The two children were fascinated. When she put down the storybook, they were still thinking about it for a long time.
“What happened next? What happened to Little Wolf?” Shao Hui grabbed her sleeve and asked.
Xia Ling smiled and said softly: "It's night, go to sleep. Mom will tell you tomorrow."
The child was a little reluctant to leave, but still obediently snuggled into the quilt.
Xia Ling tucked him in, and then went to tuck Li Rui's side. Suddenly, she heard Li Rui call her softly: "Aunt Ling." He never called him mother, but Xia Ling didn't really care.
She asked the child: "What's wrong?"
Li Rui hesitated for a moment before saying, "Has my mother been here?"
