Zhang Ling's eyes flickered and she quickly lowered her head shyly.
It was as if she was still immersed in the kiss in the car when we came here.
Maybe it's because the brain hasn't fully realized what kind of environment it is in.
That's why she asked calmly:
"I, why did I fall asleep?"
She is currently unaware that she was knocked unconscious.
Just because she believed in Li Xiang too much.
Completely ignoring Li Xiang is like Shangguan Aoxue.
He actually teamed up with the old housekeeper to drug her.
Fortunately, Li Xiang's purpose is not as vicious as Shangguan Aoxue's.
Li Xiang smiled naturally and said:
"I don't know why you fell asleep? It's probably because you were too tired from traveling and haven't had a good rest."
Maybe Li Xiang improved his skills in telling lies while playing the real Li Xiang.
So he smiled naturally without letting Zhang Ling see anything wrong.
In addition, Zhang Ling could barely accept this answer.
So when she slowly stood up, she suddenly found herself lying on a sofa in a strange and luxuriously decorated environment.
If I hadn't just opened my eyes and seen Li Xiang first.
She would have screamed in horror on the spot.
Zhang Ling already had some guesses in her mind.
I guessed that this was probably the mansion where the old patriarch lived.
But she still looked at Li Xiang and asked to confirm her suspicion:
"Where is this?"
Li Xiang continued to smile and explained:
"We are at the old patriarch's place. You accidentally fell asleep in the car when you came here. I had no choice but to carry you in first."
"You carry me?"
She remembered that Li Xiang was still injured.
Let a wounded person walk on her back.
Just thinking about it makes Zhang Ling blush and feel embarrassed.
certainly!
More worries are still asking:
"Are you okay? Don't make your injury worse. Come on, come here and let me see your injury."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm really okay."
Li Xiang waved his hand to refuse, and added in a somewhat teasing tone:
"By the way. I'm talking about Zhang Ling. I know my uncle's cooking is really delicious. Have you been eating too much and not exercising recently? It feels a bit heavy when I carry you."
"you……"
Zhang Ling just wanted to accuse Li Xiang of not being able to speak.
In today's era where thinness is considered beautiful.
Dare to say that a woman is fat in front of her face.
But before she got angry, Li Xiang immediately begged for mercy and said with a smile:
"Don't be too busy being angry. Please listen to my quibbles first, oh, no, no, it's an explanation."
Zhang Ling pretended to suppress the anger in her heart and said:
"Okay. I would like to hear your excuse?"
Li Xiang said seriously with a hint of smile:
"What I just meant is that you are very important in my mind. In other words, your status is extraordinary."
The joy in Zhang Ling's heart immediately overflowed onto her face.
She lowered her head a little embarrassed and said:
"Since you can speak, I'll spare you this time. I won't do it next time."
The old housekeeper on the side looked at them joking.
I couldn't help but laugh out loud with envy and said:
"It's great! Now I feel more and more good about being young! I can express my love to each other without any scruples."
The old housekeeper said this because he had someone he liked at his age.
It's just because I'm older.
I feel that talking about love like a young person is too old and immoral.
The old housekeeper is also very conservative in his thinking.
Even though my wife has passed away many years ago.
I still feel like I am looking for a new love.
That is unfaithfulness to my dead wife.
Zhang Ling lowered her head slightly with a shy face and said:
"Uncle XX (old housekeeper), don't talk nonsense! Who has expressed love to him? I haven't."
Li Xiang pretended to be disappointed and said:
"No? Well, it seems that I am sentimental after all. Do you know that my heart is broken to pieces?"
Zhang Ling seemed very angry and pushed Li. She wanted to say:
"Go away! This fully proves that Li Xiang's passion is quite talented. A Shangguan Aoxue cannot satisfy you..."
Talking!
Li Xiang's wound was stretched due to Zhang Ling's pushing.
The severe pain made him cry out uncontrollably.
But the clever Li wanted to deliberately make his body movements as exaggerated as possible.
Zhang Ling really mistakenly thought that Li Xiang was pretending.
Li Xiang tried to quibble and said:
"...So you still misunderstood me."
"Misunderstanding?" Zhang Ling sneered with disdain and said, "You mean that Miss Shangguan is always pestering you and won't let go, it's all because of my eyesight?"
It seems that as Yan Yuan said, men like to play ambiguously with women the most.
Especially he likes to have ambiguities with women like Shangguan Aoxue.
Not only did he prove his emotional intelligence strength.
At the same time, he found an excellent springboard and support for his career.
This kind of good thing is a good harvest in career and love.
I'm afraid there are not many men in this world who can resist.
At this time, Zhang Ling did not forget to give Li a comprehensive checkup.
"No, oops, that's not what I meant..."
Li Xiang really doesn’t know how to explain it?
Because his attitude towards Shangguan Aoxue was inspired by Zhen Li Xiang.
He really has no right to interfere.
He really didn't want to take the blame in front of Zhang Ling.
But it was difficult to tell Zhang Ling the truth directly.
He said that Li Xiang actually had no feelings for Shangguan Aoxue.
Maybe the substitute Li Xiang soberly believes that he and Shangguan Aoxue belong to two different worlds.
Furthermore, Li Xiang really disliked Shangguan Aoxue's character.
Speaking of which.
Zhang Ling suddenly thought of an important question.
She was eager to know the answer and said:
"Forget it, I won't bother with you anymore. I just want to know if you went to the hospital for a checkup?"
Li Xiang did not answer this question immediately.
He looked at the old housekeeper standing nearby and gestured.
The old housekeeper quickly and respectfully answered for Li Xiang:
"As far as I can tell you, Madam, the clan leader has already been examined at the hospital. The doctor said he only suffered a little skin injury and it's not a problem. Please don't worry about this!"
Zhang Ling just wanted to question the old housekeeper's words.
Sudden!
She heard the voice of the old patriarch coming from a distance.
"I heard that Li Xiang's car had an accident on the road. Young people can't get rid of their irritability."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The old housekeeper smiled and greeted him.
Li Xi on the side continued what the old patriarch said:
"Who says it isn't?"
Li Xiang stared at Li Xi with displeasure.
Although he didn't speak, his talking eyes seemed to be speaking.
Hey, don’t you think this is talking about you, Li Xi?
I really don’t understand!
Where did you, Li Xi, get the courage to say this?
And Li Xi is definitely the most chic person alive.
He pretended not to know anything and continued to hold the old patriarch's arm and said:
"Grandpa, didn't you say that people in the clan usually praise Brother Li Xiang for his steady work. Why did something like this happen today? I think it's all..."
Li Xiang guessed from Li Xi's eyes that the other party would definitely involve Zhang Ling next.
He looked up at Li Xi with obvious displeasure.
Although not a word was said.
But the sharp and cold eyes made Li Xi dare not continue talking.
The old patriarch saw Li Xi pouting unhappily.
Not a word of comfort was spoken.
Instead, he continued to say to Li with a smile on his face:
"I said Li Xiang, are you seriously injured?"
Li Xiang shook his head and said:
"It's okay! It's just a superficial injury. I'm sorry, the old patriarch. It's okay."
As he spoke, he looked lovingly at Zhang Ling aside.
Those talking eyes seemed to be telling Zhang Ling.
These words were also spoken to her.
Zhang Ling temporarily believed that Li Xiang did listen to her words.
She actually went to the hospital while she was asleep.
So she gave up and continued questioning the old housekeeper.
The old patriarch continued to say to Li:
"You are now the helmsman of our Li family. Your body does not belong to you alone. For the sake of the family, you must not go your own way and ignore advice."
Li Xiang said with some humility:
"I know this."
That's what it says.
He already hated the old patriarch in his heart.
He couldn't help but secretly glance at Zhang Ling next to him.
Observe whether Zhang Ling reacts to the old patriarch’s words?
fine!
Zhang Ling is currently calm as usual.
But the old patriarch glanced at Zhang Ling first and then said to Li:
"No, just listen to the doctor and don't hold on."
The old patriarch said these words.
Obviously he was specifically reminding Zhang Ling.
He said that Li Xiang did not listen to the doctor's advice.
Came with serious injuries.
But Zhang Ling just didn't hear it.
She looked at Li Xiang with a smile and a bit of obsession.
It felt like he was afraid that Li Xiang would run away without paying attention.
Li Xi because of what the old patriarch said to Li Xiang just now.
He was clearly losing his temper.
See again the loving appearance of Li Xiang and Zhang Ling.
I was extremely unhappy and called the old patriarch "Grandpa".
As if to remind the old patriarch not to forget his promise to her.
That is, Li Xilai was promised to become the helmsman of the Li family.
The old patriarch raised his hand and patted Li Xi on the shoulder.
Not another word was said.
Then she looked at Zhang Ling aside and said with a kind smile:
"Child, come here!"
Zhang Ling took a look first before walking towards the old patriarch.
Li Xiang looked at the old patriarch with some worry.
I was afraid that the old patriarch would say something to Zhang Ling that he shouldn't say.
For example, tell Zhang Ling that he really didn't go to the hospital.
Zhang Ling's "old patriarch".
Li Xiang's body trembled.
He felt that he must be too sensitive.
The old patriarch never does anything without great value.
Not to mention betraying his whereabouts to Zhang Ling.
It really has no value.
At most, it would be a meaningless quarrel for the old patriarch.
Then his worried face returned to calmness.
I saw the old patriarch holding Zhang Ling's hand in a somewhat excited mood and saying:
"You are the most important guest here today."
Zhang Ling felt a little frightened and wanted to decline.
But the old patriarch didn't give her this chance.
Li Xiang looked to the side and continued:
"Even though I also invited Li Xiang and Li Xi, I still want you to know that their arrival is just to highlight your importance."
Zhang Ling couldn't help but laugh.
I wonder if you really think she is important.
Then you should understand that she and Li Xi have never gotten along.
So she would not be allowed to appear on the same occasion as Li Xi.
She didn't have time to express her dissatisfaction.
When Li Xi heard this, he shouted "Grandpa" unhappily.
Ben still wanted to continue to express his dissatisfaction.
The old patriarch raised his hand and hit Li Xi on the forehead and scolded:
"Quiet! Why do children always interrupt when adults are talking?"
After seeing Li Xi being taught a lesson by the old patriarch.
Zhang Ling knew in her heart that this was just acting on her deliberately.
But she was still very happy inside.
For the sake of looking good.
She still pretended to be magnanimous in her persuasion:
"Old patriarch, you can't get angry because of a child. Please calm down!"
Li Xi thought to herself that it was enough for the patriarch and an elder to always say that she was a child.
She, Li Xi, is about the same age as Zhang Ling.
Why do you follow the old patriarch and say that she is a child?
So he shouted "Zhang Ling" angrily.
However, she didn't have time to continue to release the anger in her heart.
The old patriarch raised his hand and hit Li Xi on the forehead again and yelled "Xi'er".
This stunned Li Xi's anger back.
Zhang Ling looked at Li Xi and called "Grandpa" again in distress.
The old patriarch remained indifferent and did not speak for Li Xi.
He even kept praising Zhang Ling in front of Li Xi.
He said that even if Li Xi could be as sensible and capable as Zhang Ling.
Then even if this old guy dies unexpectedly now, he can rest in peace.
She saw Li Xi blowing his beard and glaring because of the old patriarch's words, but there was nothing he could do about it.
She felt a little more comfortable in her heart.
Judging from the current situation.
The old patriarch indeed regarded her as an important guest today.
But Zhang Ling knows it most clearly.
There is never love without reason in the world.
So her heart felt relieved for just a few seconds before an endless sense of panic flooded into her.
She guessed that the old patriarch must have something that she had to do.
And this matter must be very urgent.
It must be decided today.
Think of this.
Zhang Ling suppressed the stretched smile on her face.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Then he looked at the old patriarch seriously and said:
"Old patriarch, you are always the elder. Suddenly saying that I, Zhang Ling, is the future of the Li family is a bit harsh. When it comes to the future of the Li family, it should be the patriarch Li Xiang..."
The old patriarch hadn't waited for Zhang Ling to finish expressing her words.
He immediately waved his hands and shook his head and said:
"No, no, no! You, Zhang Ling, are a leader in the field of artificial intelligence. So don't belittle yourself."
Zhang Ling doesn't like this kind of Tai Chi-like courtesy.
So she couldn't bear it and said:
"Old Patriarch, I heard it. The dinner you prepared today is not simple. Tell me, what is going on with you?"
The old patriarch obviously wanted to whet his appetite and stopped talking.
After a burst of awkward laughter, he looked at the old housekeeper aside and said:
"What time is it?"
The old housekeeper quickly raised his hand and glanced at his watch and replied respectfully:
"It's 5pm in a quarter of an hour."
The old patriarch nodded, looked at Zhang Ling and said:
"I heard that Zhang Ling hasn't had lunch yet. Don't be stunned, hurry up and tell the kitchen to get ready."
Because the old patriarch always has time to eat here.
Dinner is usually set at 19:00.
The old butler has been a housekeeper here for decades and nothing has changed.
Unexpectedly, it changed today.
That’s why I said with a little disbelief:
"Sir, are you sure?"
The old patriarch was obviously a little unhappy because of the steward's hesitation and said:
"Is there anything you're not sure about? Go quickly!"
The old housekeeper hurriedly ran to an intercom phone.
I dialed the number in the mansion’s kitchen...
At this time, Li Xi was unhappy and said on behalf of the old housekeeper:
"Grandpa, don't we usually have dinner at 19 o'clock? Why are you so mean to Uncle XX (old housekeeper)?"
The old patriarch first glanced at the back of the old housekeeper.
Then he looked at Li Xi beside him and explained with a smile:
"Why can't your Uncle XX (old housekeeper), who has been with me for decades, not notice this? Today is different from the past. We can't let our important guests go hungry."
Li Xi sneered and said:
"she……"
The old patriarch naturally knew what Li Xi was going to say next?
He immediately glared at Li Xi with an unhappy look.
Scared, Li Xi immediately hid behind the old patriarch and quietly stopped talking.
The old housekeeper's reaction made Zhang Ling feel even more unusual about the old patriarch today.
Even the old housekeeper found it difficult to adapt.
This is true as the old patriarch said.
She, Zhang Ling, has become an important guest in the old patriarch's family today.
