If the old patriarch is not considered, what problems will arise to embarrass her?
Maybe Zhang Ling would really be happy to be the honored guest of the old patriarch.
After all, everyone very much hopes that they will be valued by others.
Only by gaining this sense of importance.
This makes me feel that my life is so valuable.
It can only be said that this is a sign of lack of confidence.
When this lack of confidence reaches its extreme, it becomes a disease.
This disease can easily turn you into a bad person who is often bullied.
But, not bad!
Zhang Ling is not a sick person who always wants others to affirm her worth.
That's why she could continue to ask soberly:
"Old patriarch, if you don't tell me what's going on first? I won't be able to finish this meal. Otherwise, let's talk about it in advance."
Li Xiang saw that the old patriarch's face instantly turned gloomy.
He nervously regretted that he had not stopped Zhang Ling in time just now.
You must know that the old patriarch has always said exactly what he said.
No one ever dared to say a word no in front of him.
Even Li Xi, who was often doted on by the old patriarch, didn't dare.
In his opinion, Zhang Ling was on the verge of seeking death and was trying her best.
Li Xiang quickly stepped forward to stop Zhang Ling and explained with a smile:
"Old patriarch, please don't misunderstand. In fact, what Zhang Ling just said is not what you understood."
Zhang Ling heard Li Xiang speak like this.
She tried several times to ask Li Xiang what he meant?
In the end, Li Xiang winked, pinched and pulled to stop him.
The old patriarch became very interested in what Li Xiang said.
So he looked at Li Xiang meaningfully and asked:
"Oh, that's not what I understand? Then I'm very curious! How do you think I should understand what Zhang Ling just said?"
Li Xiang suddenly felt that he had shot himself in the foot.
Did he really not think about how to explain it when he said those words?
at this time!
Zhang Ling on the side had no intention of helping Li Xiang out.
Because probably no one in this world would like someone to stop her from expressing herself normally.
So I watched it happily with a bit of a theater mentality.
When Li Xiang looked at her.
She also deliberately pretended to be ignorant and asked:
"Li Xiang, don't look at me like that. I'm really sorry! I also don't understand. How should I understand what I just said?"
"ah!"
"Then I'll trouble you to explain."
"oh……"
Li Xiang didn't know it was because he was injured and was weak.
Or is it because the problem itself is too difficult.
In less than ten seconds.
He had already shed sweat from his forehead twice.
Li Xi was standing next to Li Xiang at this time, and he did not forget to look at Zhang Ling to provoke discord and said:
"Oh my, sister-in-law! Legend has it that you two are the most loving couple in my Li family."
"Uh..." Zhang Ling asked in confusion, "Why didn't I know there was such a rumor?"
Li Xi nodded and did not answer Zhang Ling's question.
Then he hugged Li Xiang's arm in an intimate manner and smiled:
"Brother Li Xiang, I don't even understand what my sister-in-law said. I still need your help to explain, brother Li Xiang. Isn't my sister-in-law deliberately trying to embarrass you, brother Li Xiang? I'm sorry for you, little sister."
After Zhang Ling heard this, she looked at Li Xiang.
Li Xiang didn't feel a trace of anger because of Li Xi's instigation.
Instead, a smile appeared on his face again.
Because Li Xi's behavior happened to buy him some time.
It made him think about how to deal with the problems between the old patriarch and Zhang Ling.
So with some strong disgust, he pulled away his arm and said coldly:
"Zhang Ling is willing to let me help explain. It means that our husband and wife have become close and become a real family. So I can naturally know what Zhang Ling is thinking."
"You..." Li Xi was speechless for a moment because of Li Xiang's words, and then said angrily, "Okay! Brother Li Xiang, since you said that, I, Li Xi, am also curious to see how you explain it?"
Li Xiang did not directly reply to Li Xi's words.
He glared at Li Xi with a bit of contempt in his eyes.
Li Xi was like a frightened kitten huddled in the corner and shivering.
Zhang Ling knew that Li Xi was afraid of Li Xiang.
She didn't expect that she could be so scared.
to this end!
She suddenly felt that having Li Xiang by her side gave her a sense of security.
at this time.
Li Xiang then looked at the old patriarch with some respect and continued:
"Grandpa Patriarch, Zhang Ling has actually heard me nag you about your old routine before. I know that you always have dinner here at 19:00."
To be honest, he really didn't want to say the title of patriarch, Grandpa.
It was also because of Zhen Li Xiang’s explanation.
Under normal circumstances, tell him not to use this title.
certainly!
He now feels that because of Zhang Ling, it falls into the second category.
So he endured the reluctance in his heart and shouted out.
The old patriarch smiled because of Li Xiang's intimate address.
He even showed some interest and signaled Li Xiang to continue.
Li wanted to see the old patriarch's smile.
I personally think that what he expressed in this way got into the heart of the old patriarch.
Therefore, I feel more confident and bold to say:
"You often teach us that without rules, nothing can be done. The reason why the Li family was able to eventually become the largest family in Wuchuan is inseparable from the fact that you made the Li family the most well-behaved family."
The joy on the old patriarch's face became even more intense.
That's why I smiled and nodded in agreement with Li Xiang's statement.
Li Xiang seemed to be greatly inspired.
His words gradually became more impassioned and he said:
"In order for our Li family to gain a foothold in Wu Chuan and eventually go global, the eating rules you have always set must not be broken because of Zhang Ling."
After hearing this, the old patriarch looked at Zhang Ling and said:
"Child, do you really think so?"
This is the old patriarch's mansion.
How dare Zhang Ling deny what Li Xiang just said in the old patriarch's territory?
So I could only smile and nod "Yeah" twice.
The old patriarch then said to Zhang Ling with a face filled with affection:
"Sure enough, I was right about you. You can become the next wife of the patriarch of my Li family. It is indeed our Li family's great fortune!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhang Ling's face turned red because of the old patriarch's words and began to feel inexplicably hot.
This is a well-deserved feeling.
Li Xigang wanted to complain because of the old patriarch's praise of Zhang Ling.
did not expect!
The old patriarch looked at Li Xi again and said with a gloomy face:
"Have you seen it? This is the biggest difference between you and Zhang Ling. Zhang Ling is always thinking about our Li family before she even enters the house. And you, Li Xi, only need to get into trouble once less every month and you are already a member of our family."
The greatest blessing.”
Li Xi really wanted to refute this sentence.
But because these things are true.
So Li Xiang took a look at Zhang Ling who was in the spotlight.
I can only endure it temporarily by eating a sesame seed.
So Li Xi deliberately showed an attitude of admitting his mistake and said to the old patriarch:
"Oh, Grandpa Patriarch, I understand."
Li Xiang got the old patriarch's signal and continued.
So he looked at Zhang Ling with some affection and said:
"If this rule is broken because of Zhang Ling, Zhang Ling will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating restlessly."
Zhang Ling nodded in agreement because of what Li Xiang said.
The old patriarch felt more and more that the two people in front of him were a perfect match together!
If the old patriarch hadn't only been for Li Xi.
He really believed that the two people in front of him would lead the Li clan to a whole new level!
However, these are all things for the old patriarch.
So the old patriarch looked at Zhang Ling with satisfaction in his eyes and a bit of worry, and said "not bad" twice.
Li Xiang said even more enthusiastically:
"So Zhang Ling very much hopes that the old patriarch will not break the eating rules you have set for the sake of the sustainable prosperity of our Li family."
"Okay, okay, then I'll follow Zhang Ling's advice." As he spoke, the old patriarch looked at the old housekeeper who had just hung up the intercom and said, "Butler, go ahead and tell the kitchen to stop working. Today's dining time will continue as usual.
"
The old housekeeper looked at the old patriarch in confusion.
But he hesitated for a moment and then turned around and walked towards the intercom phone.
Li Xiang continued to say after the old patriarch gave the old housekeeper instructions:
"Then we can talk about our family affairs before dinner. By the way, we can also talk about your main purpose of inviting Zhang Ling here this time. I wonder, Grandpa Patriarch, do you think this is good?"
The old patriarch did not answer immediately.
After a slight hesitation, he said the word "no".
The old patriarch's face was obviously unhappy.
Li Xi thinks this is an opportunity for her.
So he immediately jumped out and fanned the flames in the tone of an old patriarch:
"Brother Li Xiang, you are so brave! Are you teaching the patriarch to do things?"
Zhang Ling and Li Xiang were panicking because of Li Xi's words.
The old patriarch suddenly opened his mouth and scolded Li Xi harshly.
Li Xi was a little confused and just wanted to explain.
She tried to explain that she was just trying to maintain the majesty of the patriarch, grandpa.
What caught Li Xi off guard was that the old patriarch didn't let her explain.
The old patriarch then said to her:
"Li Xi, have you forgotten what I taught you?"
Li Xi said with a hint of grievance:
"Grandpa Patriarch, I remember all your teachings. It's just that you taught a lot. I don't know what you want me to remember at this time?"
The old patriarch almost lost his temper and vomited blood because of Li Xi's words.
However, it was still because of his doting on Li Xi.
The old patriarch suppressed the anger welling up in his heart and said:
"The reason why my Li family has become the largest family power in Wuchuan. What is the other important person and factor?"
Li Xi smiled and replied:
"I know this. That is, other families are infighting and trying to undermine each other. All members of my Li family can live in peace and help each other. Grandpa, do you think what I am saying is right?"
Li Xiang heard what Li Xi said.
I almost laughed out loud on the spot.
Because what he saw about the Li family was completely opposite to what Li Xi said.
The old patriarch's attention has always been on Li Xi.
So I didn't notice a smile on Li Xiang's face.
The old patriarch looked at Li Xi with a puzzled expression and nodded.
I thought that the child in front of me seemed to have no problem with his intelligence.
I can still remember what I was told.
But Li Xi only remembered it.
You must know that the old patriarch does not object to Li Xi's playing tricks.
Because the old patriarch himself is very scheming.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for everyone in the family to obey him.
In other words, the most profound scheming is to completely hand over the choice of issues to your opponent.
No matter what choice your opponent makes, he will be invincible.
But Li Xi's bronze strength is far from reaching the highest level of king strength that can control the overall situation.
She just tried to use the scheming skills that only a king can use.
What he got in the end was nothing but clown-like humiliation.
If the old patriarch hadn't always wiped Li Xi's butt behind him.
Then Li Xi's behavior is embarrassing the entire family.
A flash of disappointment flashed in the old patriarch's eyes.
In the end, he didn't say another word to Li Xi.
This made Li Xiang even more panicked.
The grandchildren behaved too poorly with the old patriarch.
There was an inexplicable feeling of shame welling up from my heart.
fine!
A voice woke him up from his feeling of shame.
Remind him that he is not the real Li Xiang.
At the same time, it was explained that the old patriarch probably did not want to tell the main purpose of inviting Zhang Ling in advance.
He was about to take back what he just said and said:
"Grandpa Patriarch, did I just say something wrong? I..."
However, what Li didn't expect was that the old patriarch waved his hand at him.
He signaled to Li Xiang not to continue talking.
At the same time, the old patriarch looked at Zhang Ling with a smile and said loudly and emphatically:
"Today Zhang Ling is an important guest in my house. How can I let Zhang Ling go hungry before dinner?"
Zhang Ling felt an inexplicable honor again because of the old patriarch's words.
She was about to say "it's okay" with a somewhat humble attitude.
In fact, she can act like a normal person even if she doesn't eat for two or three days in a row.
In today's era where being thin is considered beautiful.
Zhang Ling also had to resort to dieting to control her weight.
did not expect!
The old patriarch seemed to have guessed what Zhang Ling was going to say next.
So he said with a bit of domineering:
"Needless to say! Since you are here, you are a guest. Our Li family has never neglected guests."
Zhang Ling looked a little frustrated on the surface.
But I was still very happy and said "Okay".
Then!
She watched as the old patriarch began to give orders to the old housekeeper.
Let me serve the fruit snacks that were just flown in from abroad this noon.
Maybe Zhang Ling is too ignorant.
I don’t understand the luxurious life of rich people.
Some of the fruits that were served had names she had never heard of before.
For example, rambutan tastes like grapes and its carbohydrate and protein content can provide a quick pick-me-up.
The loquat fruit is also called the acacia fruit. Because the pit is so small that you can hardly feel the pit when you eat it, it is also called the seedless loquat fruit or the seedless cherry.
It is bright red in color, tender in texture, fragrant and sweet, and suitable for consumption.
To be honest, this fruit looks very distinctive, it is a heart-shaped acacia fruit.
Inexplicably, I thought of the sentence "There are trees in the south, and lovesickness in the north."
But fortunately, I still have Li Xiang by my side.
Li Xiang is like a natural encyclopedia.
He kept introducing the origin of every fruit she ate in Zhang Ling’s ears.
Zhang Ling gained a lot of knowledge in an instant.
period.
Li Xi was once again jealous of the old patriarch's attitude towards Zhang Ling.
She also pointed to the fruit snacks on the coffee table coquettishly and said:
"Grandpa, I seem to be a guest of your family. I can only eat one kind of fruit every time I come here."
The old patriarch glanced at Li Xi with a cold look.
Although Li Xi felt his body trembling with coldness.
But he still didn't feel timid because of it.
She said to the old patriarch with a bit of stubbornness:
"I have never received so much attention from you. You put out five or six kinds of fruits at once. Humph, you are partial!"
The old patriarch was very sad!
Unexpectedly, the Li Xi pattern he wanted to cultivate was so small.
Until then.
Li Xi also argued with him over such a trivial matter.
There were really waves of worry deep in his heart.
Worrying about whether he was right to hand over the Li family to Li Xi's hands persistently?
