Ji Youyou looked at Mrs. Li. The old lady was wearing a dark red old-fashioned vest today. The vest was embroidered with Chinese-style buckles with gold and silver threads. Her lower body was a pair of blended trousers, and her feet were wearing a pair of embroidered
Old-fashioned slippers with the word "Fu" in them.
She was leaning on a cane, her silver hair seemed to be covered with a layer of white frost, and her big eyes were sunken deeply, revealing a mean and sharp look.
There are shallow grooves on the weather-beaten face.
The corners of her lips were drooping, and her whole body exuded the aura of an old-fashioned mother-in-law.
It is not difficult to see that she was also a beauty when she was young, but she could not withstand the passage of time.
The old lady is already seventy years old, but she is still energetic and has a look of dissatisfaction with aging in her bones.
Ji Youyou didn't feel angry when he heard her speaking so domineeringly.
When she first decided to follow Li Yanbei back, she knew it very well.
It is definitely impossible for people in the Li family to accept themselves like Li Yanbei.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, she is really a woman full of stains.
On my wedding day, my innocence was taken advantage of by a strange man and I didn’t even know it.
After five years of marriage, I was ignored by my husband and abused by my husband's family.
She also gave birth to a child of unknown origin, Li Ranran, who later got divorced and became quarrelsome with her husband's family.
She let out a breath, luckily... luckily she met Ruan Su in her life.
"I came to the Li family with Young Master Li not to become the daughter-in-law of the Li family, but because I wanted my daughter to get to know everyone in the Li family, who are the elders who are related to her by blood." Ji Youyou said, neither humble nor overbearing.
"So, if the Li family doesn't welcome me, then I and my daughter should leave now."
When Li Yanbei saw the tense atmosphere in the Li family after Ji Youyou appeared, he frowned and his handsome face showed displeasure.
"Grandma, Youyou is Ranran's mother, how can you have such an attitude? Not only that, she is also the woman I recognize, the woman I, Li Yanbei, love most. I hope everyone in the Li family will respect her as they treat me.
Treat her the same way."
When Mrs. Li heard her grandson's words, her expression suddenly changed, "What did you say?"
Her voice was almost squeezed out from between her teeth.
With disbelief and shock.
Such an outstanding grandson would actually think of this abandoned woman from a small place like the Middle East. What's so good about this woman?
"Yanbei, it's not that the second aunt is talkative, it's really... How many famous ladies in our capital want to become the young mistress of the Li family, but you don't even look at her, why do you treasure her so much? In a place like the Middle East... you don't
I know, it's very poor, and I heard that it favors boys over girls..."
Although Second Aunt Li didn't say anything explicitly, nor did she mention Ji Youyou by name.
But her disdain for Ji Youyou's ridicule was clearly expressed in her words.
As Aunt Li spoke, she flicked the non-existent dust on her valuable skirt, as if Ji Youyou was dirty just standing in the Li family's living room.
She felt disdainful to even breathe the same air as her.
This Chi Guoguo's ridicule made Mrs. Li's face turn pale with anger. She forced a smile and said, "Miss Ji, sit down quickly. You must be tired from coming all the way, right?"
Ji Youyou immediately felt a hint of kindness from her.
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Mrs. Ji. Although she was nearly fifty years old, she was well-maintained, dignified, graceful and noble. She had a vague resemblance to Li Yanbei in her facial features.
Looking at Aunt Li again, there was an inexplicable acrimony all over her body.
Aunt Li is very thin, with a pointed chin and sharp mouth. She is not ugly, but pretty, but there is always a philistine shrewdness coming out of her eyes.
Ji Youyou could tell that Li Yanbei's mother still hoped that she could stay.
Since she has expressed her wish, if she insists on leaving, it would be too disrespectful to Mrs. Li.
This... no matter what, she is also Li Yanbei's mother.
When she thought of this, her heartstrings trembled slightly, and she took Li Ranran to sit on the sofa.
Li Yanbei also sat down with her, glanced at Mrs. Li, and then asked the housekeeper, "How is dinner prepared?"
The housekeeper timidly looked at Li Yanbei's cold expression, not daring to tell the truth, so he could only say awkwardly, "Prepare...prepare..."
"Maybe it's not healed yet." Mrs. Li felt angry when she saw her grandson defending Ji Youyou so much, but she couldn't say anything in front of her grandson. After all, her grandson is the most important thing. She and her grandson are married.
Estrangement is not good, she is not such a stupid old man.
She scolded the housekeeper sternly, "Why don't you hurry up and get ready! Didn't we prepare the ingredients in the morning?"
"Yes, yes, I'll go give instructions to the kitchen immediately." The butler left with his tail between his legs, as if this place was a battlefield in hell.
"Ms. Ji, you are from a place like the Middle East. You may not have seen the ostentation here. Early in the morning, the nearby supermarket delivered some fresh ingredients, such as king crabs and Boston shrimps.
, and Yuanyu... You haven't tasted these things, have you?" Li Qiyun smiled and counted the treasures, "You have to taste them later."
She glanced at Li Ranran with regret again, "Such a young child will have to endure a lot of hardship following you in the Middle East."
Li Yanbei's expression was cold and stern, and he stared at Li Qiyun with a hint of warning in his eyes, "Auntie, Youyou and Ranran have tasted these things. The Middle East is not as backward as you think."
If we were really that backward, we wouldn't want to desperately master the resources of new energy vehicles.
Li Qiyun disagreed. She was Li Yanbei's aunt. She had taken Li Yanbei when he was a child and took him to primary school.
This was also the main reason why she and Mrs. Li were at odds. She always thought that she had put a lot of effort into Li Yanbei, but Mrs. Li didn't thank her very well and always brought her something with three walnuts and two dates.
Send her away.
She also always talked about her kindness during the years when she raised Li Yanbei. Li Yanbei had a very good relationship with her when he was a child, but later he became more sensible when he got older.
Although I respect her, I am grateful to her for taking care of me when I was a child.
But Li Qiyun was greedy, and no matter how he repaid her, she felt it was not enough.
Li Yanbei has gradually alienated her in recent years.
However, Li Qiyun did not have this consciousness and only felt that Li Yanbei was too busy.
Therefore, she didn't take Li Yanbei's warning look seriously at all.
He continued to talk to Ji Youyou, "Ms. Ji, in the Middle East, are girls not allowed to go to school? Nor can they find a job? Oh my, how old is this idea?"
"Children here are trained before they are born. After they are born, they learn English and French and learn piano and dance... To train girls to become celebrities, they must at least have temperament and artistic sense."
"I think your daughter...has stayed in the Middle East for so long, maybe she doesn't even know what a piano is, right?"
She pointed to the piano in the corner of the living room and said, "Child, do you see it? That's the piano."
Ji Youyou smiled lowly. Her smile was beautiful and gentle, especially because she was good-looking. Her beautiful little face was particularly bright because of the smile.
"We in the Middle East are indeed not as good as Empire H, but...can our Ranran borrow that piano?"
As soon as she spoke, everyone in the Li family looked at her in surprise.
"She will break the piano. She has never seen her before. I don't agree!" When Li Yanzhu heard that Ji Youyou wanted a five-year-old kid to use her piano, she immediately became unhappy.
The piano in the living room is her exclusive piano, and she will show off her skills during banquets and other events at home.
Li Yanzhu is the daughter of the Li family. Although she is not from the eldest family, she has been carefully trained since she was a child. She has become class leader of various specialties one after another.
Although you may not necessarily learn how to master it, you can learn it to some extent.
"If I remember correctly, that was the birthday gift I gave you when you were 18." After Li Yanbei heard Li Yanzhu's words, his face suddenly became darker.
"Ranran, go ahead." After scolding Li Yanzhu, he looked gently at the little girl beside him.
"Dad, I don't like it here. Although I know your home here, they don't welcome my mother and I." Although Li Ranran is only five years old, she is very sensitive and precocious.
"But... I can sacrifice my personal feelings for dad, and I can try to choose to be tolerant and accept them. If they continue to laugh at me, mom and dad... I don't know what I will do."
The meaning of her words was very clear.
There is also a hint of Chi Guoguo's threat.
These adults did not want to tolerate and accept her and Ji Youyou for Li Yanbei's sake.
But she and Ji Youyou have been enduring the rudeness of them just for the sake of Li Yanbei!
"Haha - who asked you to be tolerant? You are really a big kid." Li Yanzhu sneered, thinking that Li Ranran was talking in childish words.
But as soon as she said those words, Mrs. Li scolded her, "Shut up!"
Mrs. Li never expected that a little girl who was only five years old would say such a thing.
What did Li Yanbei think when he heard this?
Do you think a group of adults like them are worse than a child?
Li Yanbei touched Li Ranran's head lovingly, "It's dad's fault that you have been wronged."
As he said that, he looked at Ji Youyou apologetically.
Ji Youyou stood up silently and led Li Ranran to the piano, "Come on."
Li Ranran didn't say anything, and sat upright in front of the piano. Isn't it just a piano? As for how precious it is?
Her two little hands were placed on the black and white keys. There was no music score in front of her, but beautiful music flowed out from her fingertips.
After hearing the music she played, Li Yanzhu's expression suddenly changed, "What you are playing is..."
I like Mrs. Bo and her waistcoat was stripped off again today.
